Scribble just wants to have attention by being disruptive, just ignore him
@da britian the hairloss π
Like, I see so many people my age so passive and self-absorbed, and it's like, come on. Help fix things if you have a platform
not always but occasionally
help fix things?
mmm
sometimes, people "fixing things" that arent broken, are the problem
do you mean in regards to being somewhat centrist-left
In general, most guys my age regardless of political alignment sit on their hands and mention things occasionally at the bar but don't do anything
what can one do though ?
So, old people loose hair & they ainβt manly, it is kinda hard to see why you would consider manliness a quality worth having wol.
besides speak out between buddies
what should they do exactly? and what is it that you do, that makes you excempt from that category?
@da britian its Male pattern baldness, not just general baldness, MALE only π so manly
It looks like three debates going on at once
It's not just *one* though. Like, they'll feel the same things, but nobody collaborates or tries to get people together to actively make change. Me? I try and get the word out on things, bring discussion to the table, work on action plans. But nobody wants to contribute, they wave it off as "Well WE can't do anything." Maybe we could, if we tried
>pretending certain women don't lose hair
smh omg
Cancer patients do
it happens to women as well just won't notice it as readily unless you look for it in 60+ group tbh
All old people lose hair
And young people with conditions like cancer or diabetes
male pattern baldness isn't "all over" though just the top
I'm actively self-educating, and getting my feelers out, learning as much as I can about the world and how it functions so I'm in an educated position to try and give myself a platform and give a voice to the people who do nothing, as well as promote active change through speaking with local representatives and getting discussion going on issues that matter but don't get attention, on top of challenging unhealthy aspects of society everyone accepts but I believe are problematic
if you have all over, its just general baldness
Well, at least, things that are accepted by the mainstream
fair point cipher :D
So why do you insult men as soy boys if that is the best you can hold up as being manly wol. It seems pretty worthless to hold that over them.
Its the internet Britain, I don't even KNOW anyone who actively promotes soy
tbh in my circle soyboy is a compliment
I'm not a little punk bitch who's gonna sing a bit then do nothing but snort coke and fuck fans, I'm actually gonna try and bring people together to make changes and not just talk about them. I wanna give more of a voice to the voiceless, and hope to the hopeless, yknow? As gay as that sounds. And I'm not saying I'm gonna SUCCEED, since that's a very big thing to say. But I'm here, making a dent. And if a few more people throw themselves at the wall, maybe something will stick
@Vigil so you talk about the problems? but do you actually do something about it?
you say you are in an educated position, thats kind of subjective, educated on what? not on organizing people it seems, you need specific skills, or a talent to be able to bring people together and actually do something good for the world, imo its very rare
most people just live their lives, and pretend that they are doing something good
idk where you guys are at but sounds kinda gay and outdated
If you wanna talk about genuine "manliness" its about willing to choose, and standing up for yourself, be confident
And you don't have to be a bodybuilder testosterone tank to do that
Soy people are a meme, not reality
@Dr.Wol i agree with this, i'd tip hat to you if i could over the internet.. and i had a hat to tip
what thing do you want to change anyway? it sounds so newspeak... "i wanna change the world", it sounds very utopian and adolescent like
which is fine, but... i dont wanna burst ur bubble, its hard to change things, and if you want to change something that other people think shouldnt be changed, then maybe ur in the wrong location. idk (i mean, maybe the surrounding people, are not like you, not that ur in the wrong place here)
Willing to stand up for waht is right,
Being prepared (and sometimes actively) sacrificing yourself so that other people don't have to
I'm still young, Aghost, so I'm still in the process of getting educated. I'm a vocalist and study philosophy, history, economics and politics in my own time. I'm only nineteen, so I'm still getting there, I start my degree in just under five weeks. But my goal is to actively try and tackle problems by bringing attention to them through my music and having a personal interaction with those in the general community as well as those who enjoy my music, to bring people together over things they might not have realised they had in common, encourage discussion and formulate a plan to actually get our collective voices heard by government through campaigning
Good point, I've been a little vague. Generally I want to promote values of freedom and intellectualism, since we're moving into a very reactionary and consumerist state as a society and people make quick judgements instead of investigating the validity of the information they take in
