We, as a society, do not reward leaders who follow this. We are our own worst enemy, like petulant children we demand our candies even as our teeth rot out of our heads.
There is a quote: bad times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make bad times.
We are firmly in the weak men period.
- Jerrrry 4y ago>There is a quote: bad times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make bad times. careful, that phrase and kind of talk will have you labeled a misogynist incel that hates women. Anything that recognizes the need for (strong) men in society is inherently bad. We will soon reap the reward of that cowardice.
- lukas099 4y agoI mean yeah, surely women play a role in the world too. Unless by "men" we mean "people", in which case why not just say that?
- voisin 4y agoI take “strong men” in the quote to be men willing to take the harder but correct path - not kicking the can down the road the way our “leaders” all seem to do now.
- HWR_14 4y agoThe quote suggest a way the world works, but there is no evidence that it is close to accurate. I admit it is rhetorically pleasant.
- lukas099 4y agoI'm really tired of hearing that meme without any substantiation. It seems like you could just as easily say that bad times make bad men (make bad times...). Look at places in the world (or your own hometown) that are "bad" (high crime, low social trust, etc.). Are those the places that are producing the best people?
