Breaking news: Millennial and GenZ women have standards

Fun Fact: Rot Brain Peterson has, on the record, unironically advocated that "society needs to work to make sure men are married" so they don't become violent.

And he says feminists are the ones besmirching masculinity.

What is Toilet Paper USA?

Whenever I see a person who talks down to others for not appealing more to them, I always wonder what causes their sense of entitlement. Always an interesting story.

Maybe the other 45% never heard about it.

The 55 % are the ones saying ‘no’ to the other 45%

JRE, you are a fucking nerd. Java is for bitches /s

Weirdest thing about listening to jre is that you realize that Joe is deeply unfunny. He has a few funny friends though.

Depending on the guests it can be. Some of his comedian friends are quite funny. I like watching Bill Burr tear into him.

Nearly? There’d be a me shaped hole in a wall. Get some real standards bro.

That's even worse than watching his podcast. I've never thought he was funny.

Millennials are not young anyway. I'm a millennial and I'm 40.

Fucking "woke" man... it's kinda nice in a way, because now I know whenever I see that word brought up I can safely ignore what comes after it as the person has proven that they're brainwashed by Reich wing media...

It's absolutely fucking ridiculous seeing the "discussions" section on Steam about a goddamn video game be filled with "Is this game woke?" "BOYCOTT WOKE GAME" "Remove the option to have pronouns or we'll cancel you!"

Absolutely fucking brainwashed... Literally a bunch of Pavlov's dogs running around getting triggered by options in a video game because they were conditioned to.

I haven't seen any Republican call any generation the enemy. The only time I've ever seen anybody blame any generation was a couple of years ago on Reddit when a bunch of mentally deficient teenagers on Reddit who were rooting for more boomers to die so the political landscape can become more Democrat, but other than that nobody demonizes generations. It's not something that's political. Older generations always think their upbringing was harder, that their youth was better, and that the younger generations are ungrateful, lazy, and entitled. It's a tale as old as time.

OK Boomer.

While I agree that Republicans have absolutely marked younger generations as the enemy, Democrats are doing the exact same thing with older generations.

Real question, what's wrong with Rogan? I get that he says some things that I might not agree with myself, but he's still fun to watch in my opinion.

Somehow I doubt any of them want to get near you to begin with so you have nothing to fear.

The actual strategists have long since left or are in an alcohol induced stupor. The "strategists" remaining are true believers that are horrible at strategy.

The GOP pushed their message so hard now the cart is leading the horse and there's nothing they're willing to do to stop it.

This is just partisan propaganda point. The median age among Republican registered voters is 52 and among Democratic registered voters its 49. Another way to look at is this, 56% of the Republican voter base is above the age of 50, while it's 50% for Democrats. They're both very old and the gap is substantially small. It's not only the Republicans who are losing the younger generations. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/10/26/what-the-2020-electorate-looks-like-by-party-race-and-ethnicity-age-education-and-religion/

"You just need to float in my tank, bro. It's filled with rhino blood and gorilla jizz. Man you right up."

IDK if I'd come to that conclusion since 45% don't consider it a turn off.

But then how do you account for the fact that he was a very large Bernie Sanders supporter? He is also against the polarization of America.

Additionally, he has called out that nearly 19 of the top 20 Facebook Christian pages were actually fronts for Russian information operations to divide America.

The more our adversaries make us hate each other and dehumanize people we disagree with, the more they succeed.

Both the PRC and Russia are doing active information operations on the US based on what has been going on. They want division. They are making us give up our faith in democracy.

Preeetty sure she’s a skeleton key’d husk piloted by some awful antebellum ghost

Jamie, pull that up.

2 minutes of Googling led me to the poll: https://changeresearch.com/post/poll-young-voters-facing-tough-economic-reality/

The question asked was "Do you consider each of the following behaviors or traits a green, beige, or red flag in a partner?".

As a millennial, I disagree. Plenty of my friends, whom used to be outspoken idealist have taken industry jobs for known bad actors. Not being poor, not living in squalor, and being able to afford a visit to the doctor, being able to afford housing, being able to afford to raise a family, these are not minor things. And at a certain point many will just give up, and give in to those who offer security and comfort. And also there's just a ton of youth media whose only core value is wealth obtainment. I've several friends proudly proclaiming they can't wait to be rich, will grind and hustle, but can't be bothered to vote; including a couple with graduate degrees.

I think a lot of people put way too much weight on these terms: baby-boomer, genz, millennial etc. They're primarily used for marketers to try and segment us into targetable demographics. And by lazy journalist to make very broad sweeping categorizations of huge groups of people. Sociologists and economists probably use the terms with a bit more specificity on average, but that gets lost when communicating with a general audience. I think we have way more in common then a lot of us like to think. I typically get down-voted for having this opinion, because a lot of people don't want to hear that, no they are not actually special. There have been many amazing people that came from the generations prior to our own, there will be some from our own, but most of us will behave the same way humanity always has when put in similar conditions.

I have little hope that future generations will be better at running the planet. So far they appear to be arguably just as easily influenced, open to fads and greedy as their parents.

"True terror is to wake up one morning and discover that your high school class is running the country."

Preach. When I was growing up, no one gave a shit about climate change, no one gave a shit about Wall Street, they just wanted to get a sweet job and join the stealers instead of the stolen-from. Today's youth actually seem like they care and want to work for change.

Born in the upper half of the 90s - yeah, maybe. 2000+ - I'm not sure at best. Sometimes I meet amazingly smart people on the first look from that group, but then there are gaping white spots in their worldview.

and I feel like they are more exposed to internet media that they aren’t easily influenced.

That's wrong. They are fscking clueless.

Aren't easily influenced?

Have you been living under a rock?

In the past 5-10 years all the populist idiot politicians came to power because of internet media, young people sharing hod knows what bullshit with eachother without ever thinking what's true and not.

The pandemic and climate change are two enormous problems (one likely terminal) that were riddled with misinformation that caused so much suffering for nothing...

The next generation is just as bad as the current, and previous

On related news, their standards are pretty low, as a whooping 45% of Millenial and GenZ woman women would drop as low as having a partner ONCE that listens to “The Joe Rogan Experience”.

I made it more clear.

You know, some just don't know what that potentially means, but the number who would be willing to do this again (after the definitve breakup or breakdown, which ever comes first) is way, way, way lower.

Hey he has some good old episodes, I listen to them when I need white noise

The people who hate Joe Rogan are almost always tankies who never listened to his podcast, ever. They just get their information about him from their heavily vetted and propagandized echo chamber. If you actually ever listened to him, you would know that he's just a good conversationalist who talks with wide range of guests. This reminds me of when tankies convinced themselves that PewDiePie was neo Nazi for some reason back in 2018

lol I just looked it up so I could block it too. Fortunately, it looks like the two people that posted there gave up and abandoned it a month ago.

I don't think that's the point she was trying to make.

I listened to his Bernie episode he does sometimes have someone on im curious about I listen about 3 times a year

I used to listen for the broad variety of guests he'd have. I haven't* caught one in a long time but there are some people I'll watch wherever they're on.

In the guise of "just asking questions" and "listening to all sides" he platforms people with extreme views including some far right weirdos, and normalizes them to his audience. He is also just a walking example of the Dunning-Kruger effect and somehow one of the most listened to voices among his demographic, which draws additional ire from many, myself included.

Gateway to the far right

He's an impressionable idiot, and he has listened to a ton of far right propaganda. Combine those things with a huge platform and you end up with large scale misinformation.

Joe Rogan is that guy who likes to sit down at the table with fascists. And what does that make him? Yep, that's right.

He's a dumb ass reality TV host who uses quackery and thinks it's bliss

I'm extremely optimistic. I think they will show in droves. Fingers crossed!

If she remembered Gen X existed, she'd be breaking the first two rules of Gen X.

Doors to my cockmobile closed long before that, I've no interest in having kids, most of my peers feel the same. I'm actively looking to have the snip and I'm not even thirty yet, no divorce rape for me thanks. I've lived through two already.

Edit: I'm apparently "too young" to be making "decisions that could affect my future" at nearly thirty, what a fucking joke.

Yeah, I mean it's one thing to disagree on the minutia of policy vs whether or not trans people should be eliminated.

Let's not ignore the current political landscape we find ourselves in.

You can't have good faith disagreements with people who are not operating in good faith. Republicans have lost their fucking minds.

I finally found the motivation I needed to finish setting up my lemmy account.

It was telling you that you live in a world that is not real and your lack of confidence or self awareness, whatever the case may be, is not the fault of the women you blame for the fact you can't get laid.

Turn back now, work on self improvement, and get out of the incel to alt right pipeline

Yeah imagine, worshipping men who are openly misogynistic it's a great turn off, crazy right?

More accurately, they are more vulnerable to emotional manipulation. They fall hard for the propagand

I think you have a talent for drying pussy, keep it up champ.

The women or the men?

Ohhhhh the classic, only Desirable women believe in the patriarchy. Good character is someone that believes in themselves while fighting for equality regardless of their personal beliefs and economic standing. For the communities under attack by a while political wing of America, there is no difference between a racist, misogynist, etc and a person that votes for one.

You forgot the /s at the end of your caricature of a loser

I wouldn’t date any of those boring women. :)

I don't think they'll mind.

Virtue Signaling

lmao... Yeah, okay. They definitely won't mind.

I wouldn't date any of those boring women

If a good looking guy comes along and he listens to Rogan, she won't care at all.

If you think that, I get the feeling if a good looking woman came along you wouldn't care at all if she was "boring". But go ahead and keep virtue signaling on how picky you are while also assuming women aren't.

Sure buddy, keep telling yourself that

If a good looking guy comes along and he listens to Rogan, she won't care at all.

Maybe on their first date, but a long term relationship like does work a bit different

I dont care how good looking you are if you're a bigot. And none of my friends do either. Were literally telling you that we won't date you if you're bigoted and you prove over and over again that you aren't even listening.

Boring? As if listening to JRE makes you interesting.

These are the same women lamenting that they can't find a "good man" who will pay for their dinners and open the door for them.

Women who don't like Joe Rogan for no good reason is a red flag. Simple as that.
