@Eiswald @synapsid Explains Gen-X's ennui despite having had 'comfy' and well-paying jobs. A critical mass of breeders need more than just sitting in commuter traffic to and from sitting in a soulless cubicle doing monkey button mashing work, despite the outward appearance of a good economy.

At the "top" end, proffessions such as engineers and scientists, etc can see the applications of their efforts into tangible results. Their work usually has far more obvious start-middle-end progression and direction. Same goes for blue-collar workers. Even a factory worker at least gets to see the results of their monotonous day of labor, even if it's just a few pallets of product shoved into a truck and driven off into the sunset.

The growth of the "modern economy" had to have some downsides, and one of those is largely a disconnect between the man and meaningful work. SK isn't known for the same work-from-home culture that has sprung up in the West so they can't even sit in their PJs and reply to a few emails and sit paying minimal attention to a pointless Zoom meeting. I imagine most people in SK work in boring pointless seeming jobs just for the sake of "working". Coupled with a "Protestant work ethic" that mistakes effort and time as the important thing over actual productive meaningful results, so they can't "phone it in" like many paper-pushers in the West, and yeah who the fuck has time to try and lock down a ornery sour attitude Feminist after a day of onerous but meaningless labor? Also like most of the developed world, the pay just isn't stretching as far as it used to. Cue "Quiet quitting", or in the Asian context "laying flat".

So work all day at a shit pointless soul-crushing job with no tangible meaningful purpose but to pay bills that are only getting bigger, with pay that increasingly barely covers expenses, much less the apparent expensive requirements to start a family.

As said, the whole system--whether it's true or not--SIGNALS over-population. Too many people fighting over too few apparent resources. This would be detrimental even ignoring the poison that is Feminism/"Women's rights". The human races are burned out. We have nothing left to give but corpo-Jew wants more lifeblood.
