it seems your problems could be solved by getting a job or an education anon

it's because of the "smartphones"
steve jobs was turned into one of the horsemen of the apocalypse as a punishment for the iPod
sure he was eliminated before he could "innovate" beyond the iPhone but it was too late
now the only way out is through
the double crusade: expel scum from civilized places (Europe, Northern America, Australia, and Japan) and confiscate technology from the rest of the world

I'm reading the Cossacks by Tolstoy and it has this
Apparently they were called 'jeunes hommes'

>'jeunes hommes'
you mean
>I was then nearly sixteen. Tutors still attended to give me lessons, St. Jerome still acted as general supervisor of my education, and, willy-nilly, I was being prepared for the University. In addition to my studies, my occupations included certain vague dreamings and ponderings, a number of gymnastic exercises to make myself the finest athlete in the world, a good deal of aimless, thoughtless wandering through the rooms of the house (but more especially along the maidservants’ corridor), and much looking at myself in the mirror.

that does not imply "incel" unless combined with pic related on one side and "smartphone geniuses" on the other

I already went to school starting from FIVE in kindergarten up to TWENTY in senior year, and did chores all along the way. How much does life demand of me? When's the break?

>>23371920
Are you fucking kidding me? Try working a career and supporting a family for several DECADES. Your break comes when you retire. Fscking pansy.

>>23370874
Good.
There's nothing more contemptible than garbage like that. Cowardly trash, what a fucking waste of a human being.

>How much does life demand of me?
Why the FUCK do you think you're entitled to a life without effort? In case you haven't realized, our species spent most of its existence scrabbling in the dirt for sustenance, and our needs haven't changed one bit. That we've managed to make existing as convenient as it is today is a fucking miracle and none of your seething resentful childish 21st century opinions on hOw bAd tHiNgS aRe fucking matter in comparison if you aren't literally born in India and still subject to that same material yoke. Nonetheless there is still nothing on this planet that is obligated to provide your existence for you if you have no intention of engaging in that bare minimum effort to preserve it yourself, e.g. fucking work. If you don't like it you're free to check out anytime.
