Really? Keeps me going lmao. Two sides huh

We’re always watching

I think its a fine statement, but there are other things that make people strong or weak. women mostly

You’re on ktt

Literally an loser school shooter phrase

@op the great depression might be an easier example for people to understand.

Stupid f***ing quote

i agree that’s how the quote may take use in current times/the future, but imo that’s the case due to the absence of something as shaking as those previous events

and ik ppl been complaining bout the “why doesn’t covid count” thing but i’ve made my comparison pretty clear w/ what sets the bar in my view. u can argue for covid counting but one of the inherent differences i’ve been alluding to is simply how much better QOL has gotten for the avg person. some1 mentioned the depression as a better comparative point n i agree tbh that would’ve been more accessible w/o bringing in all dis war baggage that some itt r fixating too much on

It’s a lil bs though, you can be strong or weak no matter what era you live in, i do feel like we’re heading into a era where people gotta be strong to survive mfs is tired of what’s going on in the world

How you think Joel from tlou2 got clapped so easily

na this post wasnt it, gesu just doin the "let's demonize the thing in question so that i dont have to discuss it as much" when the reasonable thing to do when u dont wanna discuss smthn is to ignore the thred

Hard times gave me mental illness

Pass

You can’t appreciate anything in life without having the bitter and the sweet

History is maybe at a cyclic nature but history repeats itself yet we make the same mistakes.

It would be more appropriate to say hard environments make strong men, easy environments make weak men. There are hardly any universal hard times like WW1 or 2 anymore and COVID did not come close since there were a ton of people thriving in that year, and coming up today from it.

Classic album

All ima say is there a reason immigrants are doing better than the general population rn

They filling up the stems and medical schools

Meanwhile American kids want to be rich off of entertainment and arts

If yuh want mi to be honest wit yuh Trump is part of the great times create weak men era,/weak men create bad times

so are the rest of di tea party and neo liberals

they had it so good back inna day to the point they don’t wanna
Change nun up and we ending up stagnant

And we ain’t inherited a good economy or job market we don’t even have a good housing market no more

Compared to pelosi and Trump generation

This is probably more related to yt people tbh. Everyone else struggling they got s*** on easy mode

F*** y’all doing talking about other men

but that’s the problem with this quote, it’s been used by right wing people to demonise anyone doing what they want or being “free.”, you’re not even doing much discussing yourself my guy.

if you’re not white then you know that quotes like these don’t mean s***. born in a civil war went to the uk as a refugee face racism & other things…

there are no real “good times” for majority of society. it’s ridiculous to think that there is.

like i said, this quote is used by those who fantasise “good times” like the 1950s where black people were being lynched.

the turning point meme is that in the 50s strong men created good times and now we’re in the supposed good times but boomers literally f***ed everything up for millennials AND gen z

we will have to work 50x as hard and smarter than them to accumulate the wealth they have now. if you think that’s “good times” then you’re delusional.

Comfort and growth cant coexist and people now want comfort more than anything else
