******The attack on men is hurting the whole world, in particular women, and I already start to see signs of a collapse. ******… establishments that have been here for decades are starting to close. There was even one entire street where all stores where closed, up for rent, with going out of business signs.

I’m a little farther North; Mass & Vermont,  100 year mills, closed and abandoned, the ones you can’t see are burned down, gone, and almost forgotten. Fields upon fields long a go and recently  abandoned, 1 out 50 barns are still standing. Allover  New England houses are empty, freezing, with foundations heaving, everywhere around here is deteriorating. The well rooted liberals and their policies have strangled what was a good New England. Tyranny through taxation and liberal spending, has had me running for my life, the money’s dried up, but they keep on spending!

 

Move over Soul Man, tell the South West I’m coming, The North is already dead, I want to escape, and live without trying, where GUNS and RIFLES are aimed outward not inward!

The Constitution is DEAD here, the gestapo, a gauntlet, a task force, for a lemonade stand. Try to open a business, drown in red-tape, then after you’re up and running,,, $10,000.00 fines out of nowhere, just for trying! I’m having a FIRE SALE, before it’s on fire, I’ll let some Mangina, or symp, buy it, then be the slave who has to run it!

Out in the West they have people like Soul Man and character like Smitty, the east coast I’m leaving all the cities of s~~~ties. In the South West they have girls with pink M-16s. I feel safer with them as neighbors, Instead of the gauntlets of madmen with bad behavior….

26 years later me now, I feel so tired sometimes.

@harpomason: Your two pictures really struck a cord in me.  Your first picture looking happy and optimistic contrasted against a recent picture puts a big exclamation point on the toll marriage takes on a man.  I can see the same thing in pictures of me.

Before my divorce, people always guessed that I was a lot younger than I was.  Post divorce is when people starting guessing I was older than I actually was.  It really does suck the life out of you.  So much is taken, it takes time to re-group.  And yes, I feel so tired sometimes, too.  The s~~~ that the ex-wife piles on you and the blood sucked can be a tough burden to bear for many years.

While deployed I had people shoot at me and try to blow me up constantly.  For nine months I lived with Afghans that would gladly shoot me in the back given the right opportunity.  I struggled with PTSD for about a year after getting back.  Those feelings will sometimes flare up with certain triggers (e.g. it was not a good idea going to see American Sniper).

But even after all that, I can say the PTSD I went through after my first divorce was worse.

Stay strong.

Welcome Tenacity!  I live in Phx, am white, 47, college educated (engineering / electronics) and struggle to ‘right-size’ my income potential.    I am one of those under-employed folk you hear about.

I thank God for many blessings though.   Very blessed indeed.

Anyhoo…  Yeah – I find it interesting to hear about the rather broad brush this thread is painting on black women.  I thank you gents for enlightening me.    I have always wanted to hookup (sex only – now that I am MGTOW) with a black women but I know now that I would be better off jumping in front of a fast moving bus.

I was shocked to find out (when I was in high school I think) that Phoenix was actually segregated.     Being in the south that shouldn’t surprise me, but I probably would have had a hard time of it back then because I align with the abolitionists.    Me and John Brown would have gotten along just fine!

Cheers!

CPT OBVIOUS  That was the effect I was after. Although I love my daughter, who is in college now,  the years slipped by with me fully aware that the State and department of human services was looking over my shoulder, ready, willing and able to take from me, anything and everything they could. while I put my ambitious nature on hold and lived frugal so as to have nothing for them to take, I grew angry realizing it was my time life they took. I deal with this anger as constructive as possible now. This site provides much needed relief for me and so many more it truly is a blessing. I see men with much more on their plate than I have now. My stonemason trade has help me keep physically fit. I quit smoking back in 2013. My stamina is improving. I desperately need some dental work. Otherwise I feel good and  I will stay strong. Thanks for noticing the contrast.  I hope to turn back time a bit soon by shaving getting some upper dentures maybe darken the grey then take a picture that shows massive  improvement. Came back to this thread to talk to tenacity and got sidetracked.

Tenacity, after your reply a new development. I answered a craigslist add. A man needed a rental  house cleaned out and painted. He is black, married with 3 children and attends church. I liked him right away. We talked about several different topics and agreed on most. Politics we agreed to disagree. It seems something he said validated what you related to me about expectations the black community puts on its own. He said he was born a democrat. This gave me a strange feeling. It is difficult for me to grasp how he could believe that. Try as I may I could not change his mind on this matter. He also held the stance I should have no opinion on political matters because I had not voted. We did not argue as I am fairly good and diplomatic. I quickly changed the subject to crappie fishing. We may do some fishing.

Its something inside that makes me crave understanding, so I researched some more and found this video. It opened my eyes even wider. I know you are aware of some things on this video, maybe you have seen it. I had to download it to watch the whole 1 hr 33 min. Sorry I could not find this on youtube in its entirety only 6 or 7 minute segments. Thanks again for educating me and jump starting my inquisitive nature. We are forever learning and the world is our classroom.

error with the link. Its on this page: http://www.c4cg.org/blackhistory.htm                 An award-winning documentary about the history of the civil rights movement in America and the role that both major political parties have played in it. Click here.

 

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.
