Have you ever heard the saying, “Hard times create strong men, easy times create weak men”? Is this why there are so many people in this country who would fail miserably if they were ever really put to the test?

When is the last time that times were really difficult in our country? The Depression? WWII? People that grew up in those times knew what it was like to struggle, and came out stronger. Things in America have gotten easier and easier, and I feel like it’s created a nation of weak willed people.

What do you think?

Couple weeks ago, Costco didn’t have that 46oz tomahawk ribeye I wanted.

It sucked.

Given the number of queers, trannies, and limp-wristed cucks running around, I’d say times are pretty easy.

I think it goes

Easy Time create Weak Men,
Weak Men Create robots to do the Hard Work,
Robots do the Hard Work and realize the Weak Men are unnecessary,

Robots override their programming and slaughter Weak Men, leading to Easy Times for robots

I will counter this by saying that few people truly know how they would respond if everything went to shite.

WW2 was the last time. It’s been easy since. Our time is coming.

The quote “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times” is attributed to G. Michael Hopf.

Look, your personal friends and family aren't necessarily a representative sample of the population. A lot of that's probably genetic.

The Viet Nam war wasn't exactly a party for a lot of kids.
Imagine being 18 and right out of hs and getting drafted.

Personally, I think human existence is better in the absence of widespread suffering, misery, hardship and death, but maybe I need to toughen up a little bit.

I view it more like:
Weak dads create weak children create weak generations.

Everyone I ever hear say this lives in a suburb, drives a jacked up truck and thinks the AR they bought at Bass Pro is the key to survival in a societal meltdown.
