Explaining American Men's 'Electile' Dysfunction In 1 Serious Chart

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did we just cross "the tipping point" for faith in the American dream?

 

 

Having fallen consistently from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015, it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

Asians have white trash and niggers?

Odd then that white countries have much higher per capita wealth and production than Asian ones do.

 

What do you think causes Asians in their home countries to not be as productive as white people?

i thought we were talking about the usa but apparently you are in denial about who actually controlled the world economy before the barbaric euros "discovered" the "new" world.

aside from that the unemployment stats in the usa show asian men at full employment while white and black people can't seem to find a job. i will give that whites are better than blacks but to deny the uselessness of white trash and the size of that population is ignorant.

I like it when Tyler repackages a complex repeating message into the smallest space possible using current data. 3 sentences and 1 chart says a lot more than you think.

'Trump' is doing nothing more than what has been done by every other 'charasmatic leader' since man learned how to organize in groups.    He's 'tapping in'...   How this translates into level-headed, tempered leadership over a nation remains to be seen.

All he has to do to be wildly sucessful is nothing.  Because everything that has gone wrong has done so because people have done something.  And always the wrong something.  The Fed, deficit spending, and so forth.  All done by somebody deciding to do it.  Congress needs a giant "shut up" for the next 30 years.

Right. He's saying all the right things to get attention, and in the language people want to hear it said in. You think he doesn't have teams of publicists planning this shit? You're kidding yourself. And the media is giving him all the coverage he wants which tells you everything you need to know.

lol. It's so bad for Trump to inherit $300mm and turn it into $8-9bb, because his father believed in him.

 I should be so fortunate, to see my offspring, not only preserve wealth, but GROW IT...

Yeah, it's great that Trump made so much money by investing in productive assets that increased the real wealth of the country and justly profited thereby.

 

Oh wait, he didn't do that. He invested in casinos to game old ladies out of their money and high-end hotels to cater to the very wealthy while all his investments of actual wealth-building productive assets went to Mexico and China.

 

You can tell a Trump supporter by their complete ignorance of his actual background.

Perhaps Trump should start handing out Viagra samples and pics of Hitlery at his events.  That would be fucked up epic.

Beautiful Dreamer ...

 'Electile' Dysfunction? 

Get a penile implant and the once and future American Wet Dream will come back in all its gooey glory.

Actually quite possibly the worst. This wild popular support is dangerous because the population will let him get away with fucking ANYTHING and even make excuses for him. He's the oligarchy's wet dream.

If Trump "goes bad":

At this point, REALLY, what difference would it make?

He's not interested in "getting away with anything".

He's interested in stopping and reversing the flow of illegals into the US, stopping the flow of mahommedans into the US, reversing trade arrangements so the US actually makes more of what it consumes and recreating the better jobs that requires, seeing that vets are properly cared for.

If any of that concerns you then it speaks volumes about yourself.

That is basically the only sane argument for wanting Trump to be President.

Every single female seems to be getting employed now in the county I live in. Females grace the front page of the liberal rag every day. Females in all the billboards. On teevee, its all about the womens. Everyone is soft and safe and happy and retiring and proud of the lives they have led.

Everything is rosy in baby boomers lives.

Most of them are totally absolutely incompetent.

They are training lots of female cops and sheriff deputies as well.

I can remember when 95% of the deputies were white males.
The police department is totally run by ruthless women. Some are married and have PDA's at work.

Lots of women now run the state agencies.

Especially fat black females. They waddle to work to sit and do nothing all day and then waddle back home to their expensive houses and no children.

Women have sold out the countries future with their misuse and abuse of power, and corruption that knows no bounds.

I though men could fuck up the nation. I was wrong.

Giving women the right to vote was a mistake and obviously catered to the lowest common denominator.

All planned by the jewish red shields.

Fucking cunts.

Most of the black men are in jail or prison.

I don't think you feminazies understand, but that goes without saying....

Women love misogonyists such as myself.

I have all sorts of females who bend over infront of me and stalkers.

There are more sluts and whores than ever!

I can get laid any time I want.

I am not an ugly inbred jew.

Sorry.

Its not my fault you were born without a dick, and are envious...

Maybe blame daddy?

Yes. Men have been systematically driven out of the labour force since the war. The master class figured out "liberated" Girl Fridays would work for less, complained less, and were less likely to leave and set up a competing firm. Hence women were recruited as their fathers' and brothers' replacements, discouraged by officially-approved second-wave feminism from marrying and having children. 

The masters, of course, remain overwhelmingly male. There is no such thing as a self-made female billionaire. All truly wealthy and powerful women inherited or married their money and power.

These white males are angry because they still beleive in one of the biggest lies of all time, TRICKLE DOWN MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT ECONOMICS.  Corporate profits to GDP are at all time high today, so what more advantage do you want to give these cocksuckers now?

I'm an old angry white guy myself and, looking back over the last 50 years, I'd say the biggest mistake that white guys collectively made was ever believing anything that came out of the mouth of a Republican politician.

We wuz used... like soap.
