"COMFORT IS BAD BRO"
"HARD TIMES CREATE STRONG MEN!"
"BE MORE STOOOOOOOOOOOOOIC!!!"
"MUH PRIMAL LIFESTYLE"
"YOU HAVE TOO MUCH MATERIAL COMFORT AND THAT MAKES YOU WEAK, THAT'S WHY YOUR LIFE IS BAD"
I see these arguments online all the time. A lot of the time they're from influencers who live lives of hedonism themselves, but you get a lot of braindead masculinity copers who slurp up this bullshit and mindlessly parrot these talking points. If I were more conspiracy-minded, I would think this is all a psyop from the elites to condition the masses to be content with less resources, thus leaving more resources for them. And honestly if someone came to that conclusion, I wouldn't blame them. But the reality is people often come to the dumbest conclusions imaginable despite being left to their own devices (or arguably because of it). It's funny that these same people would get angry at and mock the whole "you will own nothing and be happy" thing when these arguments are literally just a redpill version of that. This argument really appeals to the most cucked of masculine instincts.
But if these arguments had any merit, and people's lives were bad because they have "too much comfort" than this would be observable in outcomes. People who grew up wealthy would have the worst lives, and people who grew up poor would have the best lives. We all know this isn't the case though.
Hard times do not create "strong" men. They create men who are more antisocial and hypercompetitive and create a culture that is low trust.
