Some of these fools don ' t even friggen know who Chris Thompson is . This is why I hate when people pick up players they don ' t know and then cry when there ' s a pass catcher or someone with a different role in the game <| sep |> For guitars , amps , and pedals what is low priced for you ? What ' s your total budget ? Are you interested in cabs too or just combo amps ? <| sep |> Viking Age began due to increased population growth in scandinavia , and this surplus population needed money , jobs , etc . These werent the alpha males who were the landed nobility back home these were hungry young men looking for employment opportunities . African migrants that we see today are the vikings , and given african population numbers , I dont think they are sex starved . Secondly , the betas today aren ' t the betas of the past . Betas today are spineless geeks making my excel spreadsheets work while im off flirting with the new secretaryassociate . Yes , they can attempt to gain money , but making money today in any appreciable amount is harder today than it was 50 years ago . For every zuckerburg , there are 100 slops barely breaking even . Also , you ' re forgetting the power and role of the matriarchy in many western countries . Today , the entire energy of most western governments is how to enrich women at the expense of men vast sums of wealth is transferred via divorce settlements , taxes supporting public sector workers , government money supporting women only schools and hospitals , and grants supporting women only initiatives . All together , what you will see is more akin to Atlas shrugging men going galt giving up on society and retreating to themselves . Evidence of this happening can be seen with herbivores in Japan , and now MGTOW in the west , and economically , you can see this as consumer spending is down , while mass male unemployment is rising . As less men work , taxes needed to be raised and women increase in their braying of not enough suitable men . Divorce laws cause a decrease in marriage rates , and an overall decrease in numbers of children being born . Both of which again , have a negative impact on consumer spending and the vicious cycle spins even more intensely . In essence , what we are seeing are not a return to viking times , but a return to a period similar to 300450 AD western roman empire . A period of increasing decline , economic and political instability , and a general breakdown of society .
