The answer to feminism is just decency and gentleness
The embrace of feminine qualities instead of denial which leads to this dysfunction.
old paintings of beautiful women is the answer to feminism 😃

Yall think we're going to see better times before we die?
Probabbly not 😦
We have to fight and shed blood for our sons.
:/
Life is probabbly going to get really hard. I imagine the world will get much much worse before it gets better
then again, I really should stop worrying abotu these things, and leave it to God
I read the answer to anxiety is to remember God is with us, has plans, He reigns supreme, and will provide for us, even if providing for us means we eventually meet our demise, to fulfill our role in life
quite frankly, I really should just stop paying attention to the rest of the world, or the future for that matter (outside of planning about how to get back to engineering school)
It's kind of crazy how it can always get worse than it is.
We aint see nothing yet
And it usually does
wiat for the healthcare system to collapse, mass unemployment, rampant crime, and political violence
as well as active persecution of people like us
We're just getting started
But we have to remember to actually follow through on our dreams
everything else doesnt really matter, though if I have a say in it, I'd like to go back to school and become an engineer
that'd be nice I think
Ah this reminds me, here in huezil we had a glimpse of what it can become
I was thinking more Russia in the 1990s
Your heard about the truckers strike we having?
when the birth rate plumetted
and everything else just imploded
and the economy collapse in a depression worse than the Great Depression of the 1930s
Dang, guess we just have to wait and see
Yup
Glory to God in all things
"In early 1992, prices skyrocketed throughout Russia, and a deep credit crunch shut down many industries and brought about a protracted depression. The reforms devastated the living standards of much of the population, especially the groups dependent on Soviet-era state subsidies and welfare entitlement programs.[33] Through the 1990s, Russia's GDP fell by 50 percent, vast sectors of the economy were wiped out, inequality and unemployment grew dramatically, while incomes fell. Hyperinflation, caused by the Central Bank of Russia's loose monetary policy, wiped out many people's personal savings, and tens of millions of Russians were plunged into poverty"
"Following the economic collapse of the early 1990s, Russia suffered from a sharp increase in the rates of poverty and economic inequality.[9] Estimates by the World Bank based on both macroeconomic data and surveys of household incomes and expenditures indicate that whereas 1.5% of the population was living in poverty (defined as income below the equivalent of $25 per month) in the late Soviet era, by mid-1993 between 39% and 49% of the population was living in poverty.[10] Per capita incomes fell by another 15% by 1998, according to government figures.
Public health indicators show a dramatic corresponding decline. Although all post-Soviet countries experience an immediate decline in birth-rates due to economic turmoil this may have been particularly acute in Russia.[11] In 1999, total population fell by about three-quarters of a million people. Meanwhile, life expectancy dropped for men from 64 years in 1990 to 57 years by 1994, while women's dropped from 74 to about 71. Both health factors and a sharp increase in deaths of the youth demographic from unnatural causes (such as murders, suicides, and accidents) have significantly contributed to this trend. Closely related to the declining life expectancy, alcohol-related deaths skyrocketed 60% in the 1990s and deaths from infectious and parasitic diseases shot up 100%[citation needed], mainly because medicines were no longer affordable to the poor."
This is the future I think the west is headed for, and worse
especially America
Then you had the violent wars in Chechnya, terrorism, and the country nearly went into civil war in 1993
We never expect it, do we? We take these things for granted, but honestly, nothing is.
I wonder if we are in a place right now with no good options
like the Soviet Union twoards the end of it's life
