The lonely generation.
why millennials crave connection so much
There is no such thing as a fair election. We saw as much earlier this year with the rigging of the 2026 Texas Primary in favor of an incel allegiant masturbator with a spotty resume as a private school educator and an OnlyFans subscriptions list longer than his own dick, over a civil rights attorney.
My book Hatred and Longing on American Soil showcases whatever trace of patriotism or star spangled banner machismo I had left, in me. But it became clear by the time I completed my brief stint into contemporary politics that they were without evidence nor validation. Fore, American politics in the US are as scripted and fraudulent as an episode of reality TV on TLC or the Bravo network.
It has become my position to fully ignore politics and the constant fear mongering of the 24-hour news cycle. Never once do I question if I should “know what is going on” because none of us are ever actually told what’s going on. We’re lied to about it and expected to cower in fear of Armageddon. Alas, I am not scared and unafraid. I got off porn. *claps and applause*
To be fully transparent and honest here, it’s the porn that’s destroying modern men and making them weak. Porn is why they are too afraid to approach women or make any meaningful romantic connections.
It’s not that women are uninterested, or not receptible. I see many women online on TikTok and IG, complaining about the lack of connection, or at least addressing it as a mild state of lack in the “romance” department. That is not to say women are cyring out “please men, make our lives better and more fulfilled, make us mothers” that isn’t the case.
Men don’t make women’s lives inherently better. More times than not they make them inherently worse. Men are abusive, violent, overgrown infants that need a teet to suck on to maintain their own survival. But in those instances, they despise women because they know they are weak without them.
Which is why abusive men make women feel small. Because it makes them feel big even though they know that they are not only internally small themselves, but they are truly weak.
Porn encourages negative traits in men. It destroys the drive to hunt and kill for your food. I don’t mean that literally, of course, but figuratively of the most colorful idiom.
You need to feel hunger for motivation. When you spoon-feed yourself pleasure all day there isn’t any drive left, to fuel your expansion of your goals and ambitions. You feel as though you’ve already won, but it’s not earned.
Porn makes you numb and unfeeling. It drains all power and mental clarity. It turns you into a fucking zombie. A hand cranking zombie gooner drooling over women on the internet. Which is not necessarily your own fault entirely. But once you come to such a realization it becomes necessity for you to do something to change that very condition of your life.
We didn’t choose to be born into the lonely generation. Disconnected by the vast and seemingly unlimited over-connectedness that stems from social media, and the world wide web, as it were. The internet has made us all a mere DM away… but we feel like we are lightyears apart, nonetheless.
Millennials are having children later and later, or not at all.
Dating apps have become the buffer for getting laid. Cold approaching is no longer deemed acceptable, or rather, it is perceived as unacceptable. We aren’t meeting in real places. We’re meeting in virtual spaces. Then wonder why connections do not tend to last beyond the initial excitement of mere attraction, without true intimacy.
I’m not trying to play love master or anything. I myself am quite affected by our state of being so lonely in this generation. A member of the golden batch of millennials in the mid 90s. Having grown up in the 2000s I watched as technology has taken over so much of our daily process and rituals. It’s a habitual evolution into becoming cyborgs.
I’m watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and honestly Motoko Kusnaagi has me wondering if maybe I should just wait for the android women to get paired with advanced AI. Ten or so years from now… jk.
I crave a real authentic union. I crave the life of a husband and father. It’s something I always wanted for myself and these days I envy my grandparents’ generation. Having a family was so easy back then.
You got married fresh outta high school and even some low paying job was enough to get a house, and keep your family fed and housed, and clothed. The only true path for ruin was refusing to work hard enough.
But in today’s world. Working hard doesn’t make enough money to keep you fed but you are still expected to submit your time, energy, and everything you have obediently at the abuse of your masters, for the sake of being included in the society at all.
It is not so. That is merely the perception. You have full control of your reality and the life you live, it’s your destiny. Not anybody else’s for them to decide, but your own… go make something of yourselves you lonely ass millennials.
I’m one too.
Thanks for reading. If you liked this, read this - Get shocked!
If you’re new to the SHockverse… you must continue on. You need the OVA tape *book* Thora the Thunder Goddess. You can read it now - Get SHocked.
Thora is a thunder goddess. And this is her first OVA.
What would it look like if a goth girl attending college was holding onto the power of a thunder goddess? Balancing the immense power of cloud shattering lightning and thunder with keeping her own peace… story of her life.
Nasty ass squid freaks keep invading reality, and Thora is the one that has to cut them to bits with her storm sword.
Attending class keeps turning into battles with cosmic horrors from a dimension ruled by squids. The story of Thora the thunder goddess is the story of a girl that only wears black jeans and is “way over it” when it comes to fighting monsters.
Perfect for fans nostalgic for Xena: Warrior Princess, Kim Possible, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer femme action heroes.
