that's why a certain class of people hate “tolerance and equality” because its really something else for them. Opression.

Incels and Edgelords of the world unite!

Yep. I’ll go get a couch and a box of tissues. BRB.

Now do one for blacks. Ill get you started

“that's why a certain class of people hate “seperate but equal” because its really something else to them: opression.”

Go ahead. Dehumanize your sacred cows the way you do suffering white men.

Bigots are always the same. Cowards.

Bigots are always the same. Cowards.

I'm sure we all appreciate this confession. Of course I already suspected you were a coward, given the nature of your participation here. It takes balls to answer a straight question, which is why you never do it.

How much of a whiny bitch do you have to be to think white men are now an oppressed demographic?

LOL... wow.

I'll just say: you have to be quite the damned loser to not be able to take advantage of your white maleness.

The numbers are fake.

You need to look at real numbers.

For example:
1. record employment
2. Women now surpass men in the workforce!!! 50.4%!!!
3. Same numer out of work as in 2016

All of those things can't be real. Either boomers are retiring faster, or men are losing ground, or the numbers aren't the same.

Of course all three of those things can be true. Think about the differences between the generation entering the workforce today for the first time and those who are retiring, both in number and composition.

Exactly, though I don't think his point three is accurate. He seems to be referring to the labor participation rate talked about in this thread, a percentage rather than "number", and which has shifted post recession for a variety of reasons including the baby boomer generation moving into retirement with it's demographic bubble moving into non participation.

Could be, Honor. I didn’t look at the absolute numbers for LFP.

So there are more Americans not working now than there were under Obama.

There are slightly more Americans out of the labor force now than when Obama left office.

December of 2016: 95,031,000
December of 2019: 95,625,000

To get the total of people not working, you have to add the total of not participating in the labor force to the total unemployed.

The numbers were fake then too. In fact the great recession was harder on men than the great depression. But since women worked their incomes supplimented a lost generation of men and boys.

The reason you don't hear about it often is feminism and propaganda. But it is there if you look.

Copy that article if you want it. It will be unfindable soon. “He who controls the past”

You are misrepresenting what Will’s opinion piece says. He is talking about men that are out of the work force, not men that are unemployed. That means men who haven’t tried to get a job in the last month. But Will doesn’t attempt to look at why more men out of the age group he focuses on are leaving the work force. (by the way, he doesn’t discuss the other age brackets, where the opposite trend exists.

Rather than trying to find out why this trend is happening, you jump straight to identity politics to fuel resentment against other groups: they are taking our (i.e, white men’s) jobs. But that’s not what even Will is saying in his column. He says jobs exists for those men — they just aren’t taking them . But that doesn’t fit your resentment fueled world view.

Lol, right? I can’t wait for him to tell me how he has suffered, and who he believes was the cause of it.

Goin’ for popcorn. BRB again.

and more working...funny how facts work when you take a not-so-narrow view of reality.
But hey, spin-smart isn't necessary with Democrat/Libs...keep it dumb, emotional, and self-loathing is all you really need to stir that base.
