Question: What do you hate the most about modern society?

submitted by Mcheetah from self.AskSaidIt

Me? I hate Weakness the most in modern society. And I intentionally chose that word because it encompasses a lot. Woke culture, conformity, cowardice, trying to celebrate being an OnlyFans whore, a stoner, or "body positive" (obese), instead of making the hard choices to better your life, being a simp or a cuck to women who will never respect you, sticking your head in the sand and doing what Daddy Biden and Disney tell you to, being too afraid to "misgender" some trans retard, avoiding all eye contact with all women cause you're afraid of getting accused of sexual harassment, and so on.

I would also call of this "stupidity," but even stupidity can be respected, at times. Like stupid bravery, like standing in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square. But no; every single thing I mentioned above and despise, can be summed up with that one word: Weakness. I'm no Johnny Badass myself, but I'm definitely not weak and not afraid to pick my battles and speak my mind and stand up for myself.

Seems like Zoomers today have been bred to be weak and not "misgender" people or fight against authority. I can't tell which is more Generation Milhouse: the "Safe Space" Snowflake, Trans-ally Millennials, which started all this shit, or the super-obedient, teacher's pet, ass-licking Zoomers who fear disorder more than anything.

So yeah: What do you hate the most about modern society?

Try not to be edgelord-racist in your responses, please. I know you need to get all the N-bombs and other curse words out of your system here on Saidit after years of online censorship, but at least try to answer the question seriously.

Social media is a scourge that will be our undoing.

Democracy. The ancient Athenian thing, with the elite meeting up to give speeches, debate, and vote, made sense for small a city-state. Our version of democracy is very different.

Universal suffrage! Every-one gets a vote. One each. Combine those who are busy and not paying attention to politics and those who are stupid and not understanding politics. Together they form a solid majority. So what happens to power? Who is in charge?

Mass media! The elections come round and people vote the way that the mass media tell them to. It isn't always a direct instruction. Push the stories that make people vote for candidate A. Ignore the stories that would make people vote for candidate B if they knew. That also tells people to vote for candidate A. It is the owners of the mass media who have the power. Or do they? What if there are competing news channels? People with the leisure and inclination to read and compare multiple news sources can play off the different channels against each other and reclaim their power.

Two problems. I've already covered the first problem, universal suffrage. The people with the leisure and inclination to read and compare multiple news sources are a small minority. They have no power in a system of universal and equal suffrage. The second problem is consolidated financial capitalism. Rich men can borrow money from banks to buy up the competing news sources and establish a unified national agenda. No-one escapes the thought control. Modern democracy is just plutocracy with extra steps.

A Direct Change: Engaging in Accretive Dialogue for/on Solutions
-- as opposed to "Idle Chatter" --
would go a long way towards addressing these problems.

Problem with your answer is it encompasses everything, so it's a good one. It encompasses all the things I hate. Useful idiots, social media, crybabies, disengeniousness, accountability, mental illness, disorders, and lying.

And you can answer the question seriously and say nigger, I just did it. It isn't being edgy. I talk like this in real life, and if everyone did, there would be a lot less pussies. You can't have both. Quit crying about words. If they hurt your feelings, you're part of this weakness you chastise.

Word policing is ultimately futile. When people couldn't say niggers without rebuke they said thugs instead and when that fell out of vogue we just got a new batch of euphemisms like ""teens"" and "scholars." Or referencing memes ("I'd like to solve the puzzle").

I was recently told never to use the word retard. How is it better if I say a word instead that implies the same thing as retard. We're just creating a forever growing list of forbidden words.

I agree one hundred percent.

I was recently told never to use the word retard.

That's retarded

This is called the euphemism treadmill . Good reading

Censorship in all its forms. Which interestingly comes pretty close to OP's objection, from a different angle.

The people who do not believe in the Bill of Rights. Primarily the people who believe it is okay to restrict the right to own any form of weapon or armour.

institutional obsequiousness, institutionalism

Andrew Ryan was right all along.

I hate that society doesn't just murder every malicious person.

The rapid dissemination of information through the internet and social media can result in misinformation, basketbros, and difficulty discerning accurate information from misleading content.

Queers, lefties, trannies, LGBTQ, BLM, illegal immigrants, Hillary, and commies. I wish they would all die.
