      People are over it.

      I think about this jre episode I listened to last year he talks about how soft times build soft people and you really see it when things get really rough

      Than covid hits and that idiot starts bitching about masks and no comedy clubs. What a soft mfer.

        The whole soft times soft men thing seems deeply reactionary, the guy who coined it some marine chud.

          Adversity and the opportunity for problem solving creates a more durable psychology

          The reason rightists repeat it so often is because they dream of the "good old days" that never existed when all men were hard, unlike now, where all men are soft and feminine

          It so happens that 'hard times' are relative, and a hunter-gatherer virtuously dealing with a shitty winter with his close friends and family is dealing with a different 'hard time' than someone completely isolated and performing labor that they correctly identify as meaningless in an existence they cannot justify

          See also how 'hard men' (in the rightist's minds, soldiers) come back to civilian life and cannot function, as if being in a perpetual hypervigilant state is anything but a drain on society

          I think it sounds ok if you don't define "soft" in a reactionary way, but I'm guess that's exactly how marine chud guy defines it.

      it is true, but it's still bad lol given that we don't know what this means for long term side effects
