White Out

White American women have insane, absurd expectations these days. All of them think they deserve the top 1% of men, mostly due to social media contamination as well as just the generally poisonous women’s culture in the US. If I weren’t with my current partner, I’d not even try to date a white American woman. It’s pointless. If Israel weren’t likely to be bombed into oblivion I’d probably go there.

Literally any other Western country and many Asian countries are better than the US for any man (even top 1%) to attempt to date. What the fuck has happened here?

Calling something a “moral panic” these days just means, “This is probably true and that makes me uncomfortable, so I don’t want think or hear about it.” You can particularly see that lately with concern about smartphones being called a moral panic when all the evidence points pretty clearly to their harms. Addicts just need their fix.

You can’t deliver on unrealistic expectations shaped by things just magically appearing around someone, and we’re still being told that meeting those pie-in-the-sky demands are somehow achievable if we just work hard enough to keep the smoke-and-mirrors bullshit running. That is life in IT now.
