Way to avoid my point.

No you assholes choose any culture war thing as proof someone is a horrible person, and then act like heroes when you make fun of them like middle school mean girls.

Look you guys can keep doing this bullshit but I’m out.

This shit is immature and stupid. I also get the sneaking suspicion that a lot of this “resistance” shit is done by people who just want an excuse to be cruel.

Either way, it doesn’t work. A full decade of shitting on Trump and the end result is that he’s more popular than ever.

The worst part about Lemmy is the tankies.

Okay so if you’re actually not lying, then opt out of your insurance plan and buy a delta dental plan via their exchange or the website. It’s quite literally half the cost and comes with free preventative services.

You know I’m starting to realize why so many people in this thread have dental issues.

Go to the dentist, even if your teeth are currently fine.

So what you’re saying is that it’s okay to let your neighbors struggle during a heatwave if they aren’t well educated?

Not really. This is the Internet. You’re a dick to your actual neighbors. Who you live next to. You you saw in person and laughed about their misfortune. In real life.

I’m not saying that issue doesn’t exist, I’m saying your implication that the rise in men who have never been in relationships is a good thing is ridiculous.

First, women are in a relationship at a much higher percentage in younger age groups. The idea that women love to be in relationships but men don’t is straight up sexism on your part.

There are also huge reports of loneliness and isolation among men. There are reports of a significant minority of men being bitter about not being in relationships or having sex. It’s clearly a big deal.

You are arguing in bad faith in an attempt to dismiss a real issue men face.

Okay so you watched your neighbors struggle in the heat and thought it was funny.

You are a toxic asshole to people in real life.

Okay, first you need a civics lessons. Capitalism isn’t a governmental system, it’s an economic system.

This economic system is widely used across the world. This includes most of Europe. Acting like this is just an invitable part of capitalism ignores the fact that the government can pass laws to create a social safety net.

They did. People living at or slightly above the poverty line have dental coverage through Medicaid. People with income above that threshold and no not have dental offered by their job have access to subsidies through the ACA.

Are there people who can’t afford dental? Sure. America is a massive country. However acting like it’s in any way common is insane.

Okay so your either lying or you laughed as your neighbors desperately attempted to escape dangerous temperatures.

Neither of those possibilities made you look good.

Yes. However, the vast majority of dental issues can be solved by regular dentist appointments.

In addition, I’m pretty sure people are straight up making up stuff. Spending $700 before you break even on dental insurance is straight up fiction.

I openly question how many people in their 30s (or late 20s) are in this thread. A lot of this narrative simply isn’t true for most people that age.

Also OPs parents were boomers who had children in their 30s they were most likely more affluent than average boomers

Look I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms.

First, most of the talk is some vaguely homoerotic stuff about other men’s bodies and what their workout routine is.

Even when it is more misogynistic, it in no way, shape or form involves casually taking about pedophilia or molesting your relatives.

I want to know if all your neighbors hate you for making fun of them instead of just inviting them inside.

As soon as there’s a good Lemmy mobile client I’m gonna hop of the main instances. It already has most of the toxic aspects of reddit.

Look I don’t mean to be callous but I don’t think that your dad molested you because he watched some PUA videos on YouTube.

The meme said that their parents in their thirties were buying homes, and they can’t even afford dental.

The majority of millennials have bought homes.

More importantly, the overwhelming people in the US can afford dental.

You guys make up scenarios to push BS narratives. Then spam the word “capitalism” ignoring the fact that the majority of the world runs under capitalism.

“Hey neighbor. I’ll totally help you out during this heat wave, but only if you have the same political opinions as me. You’d better make that apparent quick, because your gas tank will only last for so long”.

On some level you have to realize that’s a toxic attitude, right?

At no point did anyone in this thread ask for you to comfort men.

I made a comment saying young men had it hard. You took it upon yourself to dismiss their struggle. Then you took it upon yourself to say their struggle doesn’t matter because women have it worse and anyone who brings it up is a sexist. then you took it upon yourself to blame young men today for sexism in society that existed before you were born.

I’m asking for basic empathy towards your fellow human being. I’m wasn’t even asking for you specially to have empathy, just society in general.

I am truly sorry for what you experience. However, misfortune isn’t a competition. Just because women have it worse doesn’t mean it’s okay for men to have their own problems.
