  • Economic despair, political instability, and rampant nationalism are key conditions that facilitated the rise of Nazis in post-World War I Germany and are similarly contributing to the resurgence of such ideologies today. Modern times have seen these conditions fostering the rise of leaders like Donald Trump, where both he and historical figures like Hitler capitalized on themes of national decline, utilized nationalist rhetoric, exploited fears about outsiders and minorities, and exhibited authoritarian tendencies. This recurrence of historical patterns underscores how past ideologies can be revived, shaping contemporary political climates and contributing to the emergence of movements that mirror the early 20th-century Nazi regime.


  • It’s not as big of an issue as it might seem. While you might hear about it online, I’ve never encountered someone who genuinely fixates on height in person.

    This could be a form of avoidance. Sometimes, people might lie or exaggerate to steer clear of conflict, rejection, or negative judgment. This behavior is particularly common among those who’ve experienced trauma and become hyper-vigilant about how others perceive them. Past negative experiences might have created a narrative where you felt undesired or unloved, leading to concerns about things like height, even though that might not be the true source of the problem.

    If it’s a common thing, maybe talk to a professional, but one-offs are fine. Don’t carry someone else’s baggage.

    Edit:

    In relationships and social interactions, such tendencies might arise as a way to control the narrative and feel safer in interpersonal dynamics.


  • If I were president, I’d make skilled trades more appealing by focusing on a few key changes:

    First, we need to modernize the way we train for these jobs. For example, in fields like carpentry or plumbing, apprenticeships could be more flexible, letting you learn at your own pace or even online for certain parts. Imagine learning advanced techniques through video tutorials and then applying them in real-world projects. This way, the training fits better with our digital lifestyles and makes these careers feel more relevant.

    To make it easier to start in these fields, I’d also push for financial support, like scholarships specifically for trade schools, and offer tax breaks to companies that hire apprentices. These incentives could be tied directly to projects that matter, like renewable energy and sustainable construction, helping to reduce carbon footprints by using innovative and eco-friendly building practices.

    We should also use social media to its full potential. Think about how day-in-the-life videos of young electricians or carpenters could change perceptions. Sharing stories on platforms like Instagram and TikTok can show that these careers are not only practical but also creative and impactful. It’s about shifting the narrative from “just a job” to “a way to make a difference.”


  • You would know better than I do. Everything I see here is internal, though—an amalgamation of the grievances some men might express online. If these issues are legitimate, you should seriously consider the advice you come across. If it helps you at all, then keep posting

    Edit: I didn’t really give it much thought because I found it hard to believe that anyone could take these seriously. However, all you really need is confidence, which to me means loving yourself.



  • Regarding your third point, you might find it helpful to search for beginners’ guides whenever starting a new project. One thing that people don’t seem to tell new users about is the struggles they faced when getting started themselves. Countless thousands of hours could be spent on this before someone decides to get started, while others pick it up in a much shorter timeframe. It just depends on you and what you are looking to get out of it.

    It’s much more difficult than many people realize. If you need a space to test things out, I’d recommend installing VirtualBox with a couple of VMs to host whatever services you decide on. You can take a snapshot of the VM at any point in time, so when things go bad, you can simply restore whichever snapshot you like.
