The Participation Trophy Apocalypse

What strange insight about life still puzzles you? There’s a strange glitch in modern life that still scrambles my brain: we raised a generation allergic to consequences and now act shocked when they melt down over basic reality.

“Ah yes masculinity - that North Star our society hands men that says the worst thing you can do isn’t cruelty, the worst thing you can do is act like a girl.”

There is one word that explains how so many men can be in the Epstein files. So why is no one saying it?

Let out your anger and let fly

Dear motorists (or anyone) you can now rent a rage room to vent your frustration. In shining protective armour with a crow bar in hand you can smash breakable objects (for a fee).This new recreational activity might improve your anger management.

No need to let out your aggression on other living beings any more.

Hundreds of rage rooms are operating in cities across the United States already >>
