What's the solution to atomization?

We are too simple for this sh#t. That's the root. People make it too complicated. Layers upon layers. The wealth gap between absolute top and others reflects our herd nature. When your farm grows too big it creates all sorts of management problems. Capability to understand others outside of own bubble gets twisted. Politicians have no idea what they do if they are grown to become ones.

Maybe people’s understanding of marriage should change. I think many people expect to find their soulmate and leave if there are problems rather than understand it as a commitment. So if problems come up they find it less effort to just leave rather than do whatever they can to repair the relationship.

Maybe, I don't know. If religious folks capable of sustaining large families inherit the world, I guess that's one way.

There are a lot of positive examples of masculinity out there. It's just that a fringe of men(well echoed on the other side by extreme feminists) want the world to cater to their insecurities exclusively.

Teaching your children




Helping weak people





Hanging with the bros once you actually achieved something

Defying danger to do your duty

wow comrade.. you are so damn right!

Thanks my lovely comrade, you and me, we are all one!

I don't know if that's your way of joking or just misundertanding or rather a manipulation tactic paving the way to my ideological submission to your BS americanism by putting your words in my mouth. I never said that the examples I provide are antithetical with political promulgation whether from Putin or any other politician.

I'm having fun e_e y so serious?

You mention the problem of not having two role models, but why stop there? For so much of human history kids were raised by whole extended families or clans even. I think the real issue today is the absence of that sort of extended community in people's day-to-day lives so we seek it out online. This isn't so much of a problem in religious communities. In the rural US the Christian conservatives are still doing fine getting married, having kids, and supporting each other financially. The church to this day provides a lot of people with this sort of community. I'm not advocating for Christian conservatism by any means, but there's something to be said for how they manage to maintain a sense of community in the modern day. For the rest of us we're kind of at a loss of where to turn I think. Some catalyst is needed for people to organize a community around, but I'm not sure what a good catalyst might be if not religion
