@@Spoopball I think that’s an over simplification of a complex issue. There IS such a thing as being literally born too ugly to even be considered as relationship material by anyone. Those are the REAL incels that deserve some modicum of understanding and patience. (Let me clarify that I’m speaking as someone who’s grimly fascinated by the whole phenomena; already went down the crazy rabbit hole of incel content just to see if it was really that crazy etc). By simply dismissing it all as the actions of losers who don’t try hard enough to be attractive is simply ignoring reality. Statistically in the US, based on data taken collectively from all major dating apps, it can be effectively concluded that Indian males are completely undesirable. Even Indian women in the US tend to have no interest in Indian men. If you’re an Indian man, with average looks and height, you basically need to achieve a level of wealth that puts you in the 1% to even be treated like a human being by western women. This is not conspiracy, this is based on hard measurable data. It’s NOT as simple as you make it out to be.
Dennis is interpreting millenials the way social media algorithms do. Echo their thoughts, feed it back to them, reinforce their ideas, all while making a profit. They aren't the customers, they are the products. And they don't even realize it.
@@AUniqueHandleName444 A boomer right out of highschool can get a factory job, save enough and get the loan needed to buy a house in their early twenties. A millenial? University for batchlors degree, masters, or otherwise, and still won't be able to afford enough to buy a house, or start a family, or even own a plot of land until well into their thirties. And that's if they're lucky. Still living with their parents, unfortunately. A boomer already lived their golden age, and they'll hold onto it until their death in their offices. All us millenials are still waiting for that.
Yes, the social commentary that people their age often put way too much stock in their own perceived wisdom is accurate. I think people tend to forget that Dennis is a narcissist who overestimates his own intelligence and ends up making himself look worse in the process.

It’s easy to be “ethical” when there is no physical threat levied against you or your family for standing up for the right thing. Taking a moral high ground when it is free from consequence requires no courage.
@@familyjermihov2503 I didn't intend to advocate for a system in which danger should exist for the sake of virtue or to suggest that such a system would be superior. I merely meant that to laud people as "brave" who are simply doing what practically everybody else around them is also doing is foolish. It requires no risk to abide completely by the status quo of the predominant social circles. Virtue free from any kind of risk has not been put to the test, and in trying circumstances, it could very easily crumble. Risk is not a prerequisite of virtue-in that, you and I agree-however, risk can serve as the proof of virtue.

Right. The sad part is that once you agree with them, you realize they don’t plan to ever sacrifice anything of value themselves to achieve their stated goals. They just want you to acknowledge that they’re a good person for thinking that way, then once you conform to their frame, they’re happy to sleep with you.

So, in order to overtake the sociopathic system, you have to over ride that system by mirroring what they expect you to accept. Ah las, that is the ultimate dennis technique.
I had a female millennial coworker once. There was a moment one time where she told me, that she felt "hurt" at something I said. And it was nothing against her personally but something that she believed in. Some Idea. And this was the first time in my Life where I actually excepted it, that it was okay. And I told her "I know, but it's okay.". And she couldn't say anything. She was stunned, that I was okay with that there is this thing between us. She probably expected me to say sorry or something. And I felt really good, because just because someone doesn't like what you have to say about anything, doesn't mean you have to apologize for your view or even worst, change your opinion just so it would be easier for your relationship with them. If you can't handle such minor differences you really can't stay in my life. I wouldn't want to stay in such Luke warm relationship myself, screaming at my mirror so to speak.

I rarely echo opinions back to people. It actually makes my life difficult. I often find myself arguing, but that’s not because I’m being combative. Rather, most people I come across in conversation are so used to having people agree with them and regurgitate what they’re saying that they’ve become uncomfortable and defensive when someone counters them. Or even dismissive of my opinions which is the most frustrating. People who have been told so many times by other people who either think like them- or by people who didn’t want to risk confrontation- that they’re right, start to think that their opinion is fact. So when conversation about serious issues come up and my opinion differs from theirs, very often it gets argumentative and combative. Echo chambers are the worst because no one adds anything to the conversation. And the worst part is that it often regards touchy subjects that are hard to approach. Ones with no simple answer that need us to discuss them. Problems of our world today. And they treat the solutions they suggest like it’s obvious, but there are always reasons to counter why those things don’t currently exist and I’ll play devil’s advocate if they’re going to ignore the glaring issues with their suggestions. Anyone who treats a serious complex problem like it has an obvious easy solution is usually in an echo chamber.
I relate to this, a lot. I've been said that I like to argue... I just don't echo chamber very often. Plus, it is not useful for anyone. Example, I played witha a drummer (he was having some mental health issues, found out later, so I am not hard on him) who would claim to the band about the flat earth , and no one would argue with him. But I just couldn't get it slide, so I tried to explain in many different ways (mainly inductive) why that was not true. Of course, I endded up as "the devil's advocate", as you correctly said.
I have this issue all the time especially with my dad who has been a chaplin a pastor a counselor and a business owner but can’t hold a conversation with his own son without getting upset and being dismissive when we disagree
Their thoughts are not their own. They simply parrot what others tell them is virtuous to win over intangible social credit in their worthless circles. It requires no bravery or sacrifice, yet look how they laud themselves for it.
@@spethmanjones2997 there is such a thing as people having equal opinions. Although if you're a prick this might be hard to grasp as most people, who are decent at the least, will disagree with you

@@spethmanjones2997 So true, it's not like they take an measurable actions it's mostly lip service/social media posts. Some virtue signallers are shocked when I don't immediately agree with them 😂, your echo chambers must be crazy big and the men in your social groups must choose peace over arguing not voicing their real opinions 🤦.
Okay this made me realise I do this sometimes when I feel uncomfortable in situations. When I’m talking to someone I don’t know what to say sometimes I just repeat what they say but word it differently. Most times I don’t even agree or care what they’re saying but it keeps that awful silence I hate in conversations from happening. It’s kind of a tactic I’ve used since I was a kid because I moved around so much and was constantly having to make friends over and over again. I try not to do it now as I’m trying to not care about awkwardness & not having everyone agree or like me but seeing this clip and seeing the comments made me realise lol.
Self awareness is great. Silence is only awkward when we are uncomfortable with ourselves. I'm glad you noticed this manipulation and have chosen to take a harder look at it.
I get what you mean. I've done the same but mostly just around aggressive people who yell at or berate me if I give a divergent opinion or perspective. Easier to just assuage their anger and move on sometimes and then just avoid them in the future lol.
It’s easy to be “ethical” when there is no physical threat levied against you or your family for standing up for the right thing. Taking a moral high ground when it is free from consequence requires no courage. Like putting a Ukraine flag on your profile.
It’s like that scene in American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is just listing off all the world’s problems as if to get a one up on everyone at the table. That’s practically how most of these so called “activist” and “influencers” behave and it’s even worse that some of them actually believe they are doing something good for “their” cause.

Look at all the "influencers" who go to BLM protests taking a bunch of selfies pretending to be there protesting and then go back home instantly, or people crying about oppression in the west whilst ignoring the concentration camps in China. It's all so shallow to the point it feels insulting to your intelligence when they try to tell you they genuinely care. It's nothing more than a hype.

@Mike M Damn, you are naive. You are only doing yourself a disservice by making caricatures of politics. Not to mention that conservatism and liberalism are not opposites but it would not suprise me if you did not know basic politics.
@Mike M Also, society as a whole becomes more liberal over time, making those people appear more conservative. Yesterday’s progressives are today’s conservatives. The average boomer nowadays would probably be called a communist in the 50s lol.
I mean, relatively speaking, wanting to do the right thing is better than not wanting to do the right thing, virtue ethics aside. I know that I get criticized for wanting to do the right thing, and then when I actually try to do it, people around me say that it isn’t worth the fight. I disagree of course, but it made me realize that people, more than being good or bad, are just complacent. They are complacent to good things happening, and they are complacent to bad things happening
I like how millenials exclude themselvels from millenial generation, when they want to blame millenials. That is just amusing. They are both millenials but in Dennis view it's still "them and us".
@@t-shades7148 I don't think so, a cutoff for millenials is 1981 year of birth, so someone 40 years old today will still be a millenial. And they don't look that old.
Yeah this is true too. Millennials can usually go up to 2000 and you hear people born in like 1994-2000 call themselves Gen Z because they just want to avoid the label lol
Not ethical at all, he just understands narcissism and how to manipulate millenial narcissists into sleeping with him bc anyone who wants to be percieved as a good person can easilly be manipulated by just agreeing ith their rhetoric. He's not ethical for doing that, just intelligent.
This is suprisingly good advice for making people like you and feel like you understand them. Just repeating after somebody, even if you have nothing to add, gives the impression that you are really paying attention to them and share a mutual experience with them.
This clip is about Dennis (Gen X) talking about women just out of high school (Gen z) and has nothing to do with Millennials (Gen Y). So it has nothing to do with why you don't have friends.

Psychos are not the only ones to see the obvious idiosyncrasies and weaknesses in others... they're just the ones that use those weaknesses to gain power over others.
This does describe a plurality of young activist types, but not nearly all of them. Some actually think that they can change the world, and that all their life's problems will truly get better if they change society. Thanks to activist rhetoric and not getting much exposure from other perspectives, they really think that their ideas will not only work, but make them happier. Other activists just use activism as an excuse to redirect their personality disorder into a socially acceptable channel; after all, what other ideology lets you destroy other peoples lives and smash random windows in the name of justice, and earn you social approval in the process? Why *wouldn't* someone with a severe personality disorder seize the opportunity to have a socially acceptable outlet for their behavior?
See many insane asylums were probably a good thing despite all the unsavoury things going on in there back then, they were basically a slaughterhouse to cull elements of the population deemed to be undesirable

I remember I made a personal experiment on Reddit for myself. I wanted to see if I could pull a person out of their “echo chambers” by downvoting. My hope was without the dopamine hit of a liked comment they would pull away from their excessive use of those platforms. I found a active Redditor that bounced around socialist, millennial, and doomer Reddits. The guy made around 4-12 comments a day. It would be dozens if someone engaged his comments. What I did was downvote his comments that were repetitive with several accounts. If he or she made that comment repeatedly such as shamming boomers or shaming capitalism then I would downvote. Occasionally I would comment a shaming comment under it. With a different account of course. After a couple days I found that my downvotes did nothing. I would downvote 7 or 12 times and there would be a equal number of upvotes. Or more to favor the comment they made. I came to the conclusion that these echo chamber righteous idiots protect themselves by upvoting any comment that favors their ideals. In order for me to put a dent in a echo chamber I would need an army of bots that would randomly downvote an entire Reddit page randomly. So the comments always show up as a negative views. That way theres no dopamine.
That’s not what happened lol, you probably were using the same IP on all the accounts so Reddit realized you were using multiple accounts and blocked your multiple votes. Brain rot BTW I hate Reddit and their communities but that’s mostly zoomers and extremists anyway, again not Millennials. When Millennials were the biggest group on Reddit it was libertarians and they had a bunch of controversial things on there that all eventually got banned.
"We live in the age of cowards" - Papa gundam They'll tweet all day about how we need change, but won't go out of their way to make change even in the smallest way
People using that argument are usually the same who will eat steak to own the vegans because they fear that going meat free for a single meal infringes on their freedom and will make them a commie. A lot of comments made about millenials is spot on but people seem to conveniently forget that its because it applies to virtually everyone
How do you know they won't make the change? For example, plant based meat sales are increasing rapidly every year and cow milk consumption is falling. People aren't just talking about it, they're doing it.
Meaningful societal change isn't done incrementally. Small individual changes give the illusion of control in a system designed to isolate and quarantine individualistic behaviors. You can find trends and some general things will change, but the system itself does not, and the system will never work for everyone. Allowing small pockets of "change" pacifies meaningful changes being made, the systems we operate under having long ago adopted the mantra that flexibility is preferable to rigidity.
@@bsarioz WTF is plant based meat? It's shit, that's what it is. It's no better than real meat (but it tries way too hard to be), it's fast food! Of COURSE it's going to be bad for you! Now stop preaching about it. Fucking Plant Based Zombies are what vegans are lol

I do belive that these type of gen z kids don’t know what their talking about tho. Their just young and usually not very cultured to know what and who they’re even standing up for. Wisdom really does come with age. You have to see the world in person to even speak on this type of stuff passionately, otherwise you’re just echoing other ppl & that’s embarrassing.
@@kayla7562 well I wasn’t talking about liberal or conservative necessarily but I guess generally speaking the liberal ones tend to virtue signal more than anyone else. But it’s more that millennials always speak to everyone as if we don’t know and they are educating us, but we already know more and have been through our altruistic phases.
Unfortunately this is not unique to one generation. It can apply to any internet addict. All age groups are becoming terminally online, older people are just slower to adopt, nobody is completely immune.
Gen X being unethical and not caring vs Millenials being unethical and trying to gaslight you into believing they are. Excited to see how GenZ turns out!
we're not that different, the loud ones at least(and they're really all that matters) . Especially cuz of cancerous apps like tiktok as well as twitter. Millennials just have a cornier way of virtue signalling. Same thing at the end of the day though. I'm just jealous of my dad who was my age in the mid 80's and didn't have to think or care about any of this
Seems They’re balancing their regular comedy with woke agenda while trying to poke fun at it to. Not sure if the woke comedy is their choice or not but does feel off. Like hammering Dennis for not getting vaxxed or downplaying of Epstein.
For as long as this show has gone on, I'm just glad it can still be funny and a little poignant at times. At least they're not bastardizing every character in a haphazard attempt to send a message like other series have done with established characters. I mean, they characters are kinda bastardized out the gate anyways, but it could be so much worse.
I won't pretend I'm not morally flexible. I just don't want people who use twitter unironically to publicly shame me. It really is the worst of the internet.
I can honestly say that I have led a principled life, devoted to my ideals, almost without fail. I have sought to get what I wanted, and rarely backed down. Money, women, food.
Most are like this. Most were like this. Older people shouldn't feel so great about themselves. They just didnt have internet. Social exclusion was a solid thing in lots of cultures and societies.
