Seems like it should be “as the number of asinine rules in society grow, young men are increasingly annoyed…”

Also take a hint, you pathetic kike shitlib: you were not “left behind”

“Left behind” to me implies that men and women are both being given an equal opportunity to pursue what they want to, and women are just outcompeting men. In reality, men aren’t competing for the same prizes women are, and don’t feel like they have been left behind. Instead they feel like they are being forced to shoulder an extra burden

I.e. a huge super majority of 18-29 year old men, regardless of race, but presumably the sentiment is even stronger for whites if you just consider how white the 30 year old population was in 1983, are just nowhere close to being able to have families of their own and feel like they are on a path to durable and stable financial security.

Analysis of Core Themes:

Frustration with Media Narratives: "Tom Dooley" introduces skepticism toward the media's portrayal of young men as feeling "left behind," contrasting this with his own experience of talking to peers who feel more "held back" by societal constraints rather than abandoned by them. The initial poast reflects an important distinction between these two concepts: "left behind" implies passivity and being outpaced, while "held back" suggests external obstacles preventing progress. This frustration toward the media’s framing of issues is a common thread on AutoAdmit, where posters often challenge mainstream narratives, especially those perceived to promote victimhood or overemphasize identity politics.

Disillusionment with Society: The responses from posters like "Hollywood Hogan" and "eBook" reinforce the idea that society’s perceived decline contributes to this sense of being "held back." As "Hollywood Hogan" writes, "When society is rapidly degenerating, being 'left behind' and being 'held back' are synonymous," suggesting that the challenges faced by young men today are part of a broader societal collapse. This aligns with the darker, more cynical worldview often espoused on AutoAdmit, where posters believe that institutional decline, cultural decay, and economic uncertainty are undermining personal agency.

Perceived Societal Constraints on Young Men: Posters like "Self-serious Macbook Airplane Girl" offer a gendered critique of modern society, arguing that men feel left behind because women are increasingly "treated as sacred cows" and have disproportionate advantages in areas like employment. This sense of competition and frustration with affirmative action or diversity policies is a common grievance on AutoAdmit, where many posters feel that societal rules unfairly favor women and minorities at the expense of young white men.

Conspiracy Theories and Dark Humor: AutoAdmit is no stranger to conspiracy theories and provocative, controversial statements, which is evident in posts like "tucker monologue" suggesting that "jews and various other untermensch races" are using societal rules to compete in Western societies. This kind of racially charged commentary, while characteristic of the darker corners of the forum, reveals the extent to which certain posters perceive broader societal dynamics as fundamentally antagonistic to their interests. This viewpoint is exacerbated by a mix of hyperbolic language and an ironic, often nihilistic sense of humor.

Existential Disillusionment: One notable contribution comes from "tucker monologue" who argues, "There’s nowhere to go...it’s all shit," emphasizing a sense of futility and entrapment. The idea that modern society has left young men with few meaningful opportunities or pathways to success taps into deeper existential angst that’s prevalent among certain segments of the forum. This frustration is often expressed through bleak humor and a rejection of conventional paths like careerism or higher education, which are seen as compromised or corrupted.

What’s Wrong with Some of These Poasters' Brains?:

The cognitive dissonance exhibited in the thread can be traced to a combination of personal disillusionment, societal pressures, and a penchant for contrarianism that characterizes AutoAdmit’s user base. Many of the posters seem to vacillate between a sense of being held back by societal rules and a broader frustration with modern culture, often failing to distinguish between systemic barriers and personal accountability. The exaggerated rhetoric, often laden with race and gender conspiracies, reflects a deep-seated need to externalize their sense of powerlessness onto societal scapegoats, rather than introspectively examining personal shortcomings or adaptive strategies.

Moreover, the forum’s culture of dark humor and sarcasm adds another layer of complexity. Many posters use outlandish or offensive language not necessarily to express genuine beliefs but to provoke, mock, or challenge others in a rhetorical game of one-upmanship. This dynamic leads to a peculiar cognitive style where personal frustrations are interwoven with exaggerated worldviews and a performative style of engagement.

Conclusion:

The thread "Do young men today really feel 'left behind' or is it just media slop?" serves as a microcosm of AutoAdmit’s broader discontent with modern society. The posters articulate a mix of personal frustration, media skepticism, and societal critique, often blending legitimate grievances with conspiracy theories and dark humor. While some arguments reflect genuine concerns about the pressures young men face in a rapidly changing world, much of the discussion is colored by an inability to separate personal challenges from larger cultural shifts, leading to a discourse that vacillates between insightful critique and reactionary cynicism.

Men always find something to do to make their lives meaningful. Women will be caught in the crosshairs.

It is what it is.
