The men are gone, economists panicking!

[ShinyParticipant 2307]

Some folks will remember a recent video by an American economist looking at workforce participation by men which has massively dropped – this causes the Elites to worry, because if men don’t make the money for women to spend on stupid s~~~, how will the purveyors of stupid s~~~ stay on top? Now the figures in Oz are showing the same thing – men in huge numbers going off grid and out of sight.

These folks blame video games – in a nutshell, claiming a generation of men are in their parent’s basement playing games and being losers.

Yeah, you keep telling yourselves that…

Gaming. The shocking reason young men are walking away from work

A team of researchers in the United States might have just cracked one of the biggest mysteries in economics. It’s why young men are vanishing, in Australia as well as overseas.

A decade or so back we had a good idea of where they were. Of the Australian men aged 15 to 24 who weren’t in school or higher education, an impressive 85 per cent were working.

That was back in May 2007. By May this year it had fallen to 78.6 per cent. That’s one in every five young men not in education now not working, up from one in every seven a few years back. An extra 51,000 young men have “gone dark”, slipped under the statistical radar.

And hardly any women. Young women not in education are about as likely to work as they used to be.

No-one’s too sure what the young men are doing. Tragically, our Bureau of Statistics hasn’t run a time-use survey since 2006. We don’t know who supports them – is it girlfriends, is it parents? And we don’t know why they are not working or if they’ll start. Might they have suddenly found work hard to get? It’s possible. These days there are fewer (traditionally male) manufacturing jobs and far more (traditionally female) healthcare and social services jobs. Might the minimum wage have priced them out of work? It’s unlikely, because young men are also falling out of work in the United States.

Between 2000 and 2015, the hours worked by American men in their 20s slid 12 per cent. The slice of those not in education who’d been out of work for at least a year jumped from 8 to 15 per cent.

It isn’t showing up in the unemployment rate. America’s unemployment rate is very low, lower than Australia’s. That’s because most of these men aren’t looking for work. They’re doing something else. And, in America at least, we’ve a good idea of what it is.

In the US, they still conduct a time-use survey. Every year they ask thousands of Americans where they were at each moment of the day, who they were with, and what they were doing.

Young men cut back on work by an average of 2.5 hours per week between 2004 and 2015. All of it became extra leisure time, an astonishing 1.9 hours of it extra “recreational computer time”, and 1.4 hours of it “gaming” – using computers to play video games.

Before 2004 gaming was small time. Massive multiplayer online games hadn’t been invented. There was no World of Warcraft, the graphics weren’t lifelike. Gaming has swiftly become very, very attractive. But mainly to young men, not women. That couldn’t be why they are deserting work, could it?

Mark Aguiar, Mark Bils, Kerwin Kofi and Charles Erik believe it is. Economists at Princeton University, the University of Rochester and the University of Chicago, they believe the increasing quality of video games explains half of the retreat from work of young men since 2004.

They believe the increasing attractiveness of video games explains half of the retreat from work of young men.

Their study, published on the 4th of July, is entitled Leisure Luxuries and the Labour Supply of Young Men.

Their statistical analysis suggests that gaming is like any other luxury. The greater your ability to buy it (in this case with time), the more of it you want. They find that television (even Netflix) isn’t a luxury. When people get more time, they don’t spend an ever greater proportion of it watching TV.

As gaming becomes better and better, it’s rational for people to sacrifice more and more of other things to do more of it, especially if they can get by financially. They find an astonishing 67 per cent of non-employed men in their 20s live with their families, up from 46 per cent in 2000. And they don’t mind it much, either. Men in their 20s are happier than they were in the year 2000. Older men, who aren’t into gaming, are more miserable.

Young men have EXPERIENCED what there father’s have Lived threw, and don’t want ANY part of it !!

Old Men that have survived it, are content with less and want their time and freedom more then trying to earn couple more bucks!!

Well, this leaves it ALL up to the Women. I would say that is reason enough for all the economist to be “Panicking”,

It sucks when a group puts a lot of money in their con only for the marks walk away from the table.

The Paris Accord is a good example. The Paris Accord was the U.S. would shutdown its economy and the government would steal what little wealth the American people had to the globalists.

President Trump walked away from the Paris Accord and he made a wonderful, detailed a speech as to why he did.

Now those nations whom have agreed to the Paris Accord are left holding the bag.

As the old adage goes.
You reap what you sew.

Men are being stripped of the harvests they sew, tend to, and then reap.
So men tend a garden just large enough to provide for himself.

It’s not video games, porn, the internet, nor any other of the myriad of deflecting claims.
It is men being discriminated against, if not outright persecuted by laws and societies in favour of women.

[Anonymous 7]

Eh, more shaming BS to get young men back to the plantation.

I would like numbers on how many young men (under 30) know a dude that was falsy accused of harm to a female and raked over the coals.

Better numbers, that.

[SolidParticipant 7520]

Really ? Those guys think that success is make 6 digits and have a c~~~ to spend it all on s~~~ ?

Success is being able to put your head in the pillow at night and sleep peacefully ! A thing that any married man will never trully know what is.

Men don’t need much to be happy, and when need, is just because of a s~~~ty brainwash that he suffered, and is desperately trying to overcompensate something.

I understand their fear, but everyone is getting what they asked for. They want equality ? Yep, now they have it, women are working, and if they don’t work hard as men do, the market will produce less, at a higher cost, that means that a lot of s~~~ is going to happen. And guess what, they put the responsibility in the wrong hands, c~~~s are lazy as f~~~.

Men are just waking up, that’s it, if you are single, you don’t need a lot of money, theres a video, about a s~~~ty brainwash about married man having better paying jobs. That’s bulls~~~, as stated a MGTOW video about that one, married man don’t have bigger salaries because they want, they have because they really need that, they have to work more and harder, while MGTOWs can just BE HAPPY AND ENJOY THEIR PEACE !

I sincerely don’t give a s~~~, I do my work, get my paycheck, and I can live a whole month with money enough to 3 dinners out with some ms lil cupcake. So as you can imagine, c~~~s will keep a guy around to pay for things, but when they hit the wall and there is no dick to get free dinner, they just get into debt.

C~~~s are a debt collection, college debt, rent, bills and travels, because no matter that she got 20k/year, she must travel the whole Europe once a year, and spend some weekends in a spa once a while.

Economically this things is unsustainable, there is no way that a thing like that can survive out there, it will raise the loan rates, will make a living hell of the financial system. They are breeding their own destruction.

This videogame talk, is just shame language, if there is no videogame, it would be anything, from books, to movies, to travels, to fishing, anything ! They can’t just assume the logic answer, put time and money on c~~~s is worthless

I have been gaming for a decade, many of the younger guys I have known for that long have indeed dropped out altogether. Some work full time, some part time, some don’t work at all or very rarely. What they all have in common is they have dropped out of the race for females for the most part, therefore income beyond what they need is useless to them. Their time has become disposable, most of them live with a single parent who is happy to still have them around, and some of these parents even understand that things are clearly in decline in the West, and that, yes, women are a f~~~ing nightmare as well.

The car that is no longer going all out to win the race gets to where it needs to go on far less gas.

[Force of Nature 225Participant 93]

Everyone here knows the real reason but the author of this article have to find an easy scapegoat. It’s easier to find something to blame than address the real issue.

Why would men work longer and harder for a country that hates and discriminates against them? F~~~ that s~~~.

[Anonymous 6]

No-one’s too sure what the young men are doing.

Actually that’s not entirely true. Society has become so anti male that the ramifications are starting take shape. From college campuses to forces quotas in the workplace to gender norming physical standards in the military men are no longer needed. And they’re walking away.

Feminists: “Young man you are a patriarchal rape machine who needs to apologize for not realizing that women can do everything that you can do. Now go to work and provide for a woman who can make her own money.”

Young Men: “Nope. That doesn’t make sense. I’m a person not a dysfunctional accessory meant to be utilized for someone else’s convenience. I’ll just be over here doing stuff that I like and you can keep your stupid plan for my life, a plan that I didn’t have any input on by the way.”

Are they playing games and then dropping out

Or

Did they drop out and play games to fill in the time?

Video games are entertaining and more appealing to young men than jumping on a 9 to 5 treadmill for 5 days a week until you’re in your late 50’s.

[StargazerParticipant 12505]

I think it’s hilarious that they’re blaming gaming for the decline in male workforce participation.

In truth, the decline in male workforce participation is a direct result of misandric cultural and legal systems that denigrate men while treating them as disposable utilities.

Video games are just something to do while you’re not being a packhorse for the gynocracy.

Good point brother ! Very good question !

It’s impossible to make woman happy, and to be “acceptable” to date them, with them acting as semi-gods who are making a favor accepting going out with you, they have standards that are so high, that is possible that they didn’t see a picture of them to see what they are offering vs what they are requesting.

Basically, if you are not a CEO, 6 packs, 7 digits salary, Phd, romantic, handsome, with all free time in the world, and with the patience of a saint to listen to all her s~~~, you are invisible to them, or at least, that random guy who she will use to get free dinner, or that “dick” that she will use as a seat in the c~~~ carousel.

To them, is so hard to get in this level, that maybe they want to date, but that isn’t possible because of their standards. To us, we don’t give a single s~~~ about what c~~~s want, not a single little s~~~.

Recently in the gym, was leg day, and a c~~~ stopped at me and said

You know, your legs are bizarre, they are too big, you should stop working out, they would be beautiful if they are smaller and have no hair.
And you would be less annoying if you don’t open your mouth !

That was in a very rough day, but the c~~~ asked for it ! C~~~s think that they can just go around and ask the world to be in the way that they want, but the truth is that even c~~~s don’t know what they want.

I would like to refer to a video that brother @gargamel posted here in the forum

They always will be MISERABLE. So is far easier and more fun, just to play video games or do ANYTHING at all, than listen to a bitch bitching all the time.

[MenckenParticipant 693]

In order to get men back on the plantation, maybe there will be laws proposed to regulate gaming or a department of media entertainment to mandate how much gaming we can consume.
“There outta be a law!”

[Russky2Participant 3086]

F~~~ING PURE BULLS~~~ ABOUT THE VIDEO GAMES PART. I work and I work MUCH MUCH more efficiently than some of my female colleagues, and I also play video games A LOT!!! In fact, science has shown that action and 3D shooter games increase your reaction and other cognitive faculties. That it is you don’t play all day long, but an hour or two. Still, even if you’re a hardcore gamer it shouldn’t prevent you doing the things you need to do for survival or work. These people are full of s~~~! Next thing you know feminists will ban video games. If that happens I will go on a rampage!!!
