Not sure it's intentional or not but the "ruling class" has decided to eliminate a lot of the avenues for social mobility, in part because falling down is so terrifying to them, and in exchange is offering vice and economic dependency to a permanent underclass.
- BizarreByte 4y agoWhat better way to make the masses content right? Weed alone is amazing at making people ambitionless and unmotivated, ensuring they remain happy in otherwise garbage situations. People online say “that never happens”, but I see it all the time in real life. Why improve society when you can drug people up instead?
- fullshark 4y agoNot just weed, but pornography and video game addiction is real as well and can be considered vices, severely curtailing ambition and motivation. A large % of men are just uninterested in social mobility or having a meaningful relationship/children, just in the next dopamine hit from wherever they can get it.
- BizarreByte 4y agoI mean I don’t want a relationship or children, but I had to fight my way out of the poverty I grew up in and I continue to work to maintain and improve my position. Seeing what I have it legitimately scares me to think where I’d be had I gotten into some vices back when I was young. You’re right in pointing out those things though, it doesn’t have to be a drug to be damaging.
