These posts are just a massive cope for people who refuse to put any effort into bettering themselves. They do the minimum and take the easy route over and over again, then wallow in self pity, blaming the world when their lives go nowhere.

I’m today’s world, especially if you’re white, you have to be social, and network. Skills can, and do often matter, but if you don’t have the connections, you’re gonna have a bad time. All the people I know other than maybe one or two have good jobs/carrers because of connections. The more people you know, and interact with, the better. Many young men from the last 25 years or so, either don’t know how, or straight up refuse to do this. I get it, but unfortunately it’s a huge part of the game now.

I don't disagree, but that's just part of putting in effort imo. It's not like you have to have an in through your father or something like the left always portrays it.
In a way you're completely right in that nobody moves up in the world due to promotion anymore. That just doesn't happen. But when you put in a strong effort every day it has this ripple effect, people notice, and before you know it you've got people coming up to you like "hey, I need someone for XYZ and Steve said your a reliable guy". It's true that besides just working hard you also have to be friendly and socialize for these kinds connections to happen.
“It's not like you have to have an in through your father or something like the left always portrays it.”
I somewhat disagree with the above statement because it’s fake apples to real oranges IMHO. When the “left” was pushing this the hardest, it was 20 plus years ago, and they were talking about niggers, and women where meritocracy still mattered, at least way more than it does now. Today it actually does apply to whites, especially young white men who are looking for work outside of grueling body breaking trades.

Yes, exactly. This is my experience also. It always got me more work, and responsibility with the same pay for the most part. That’s not a good thing IMHO. Don’t get me wrong, I always loved helping out the coworkers who I respected, but never did it get me anything of value with the higher ups. I’m being told by other white men my age, and younger that this is also their current experience. Of course, YMMV, but this is the current reality for many white men today in many industries. I don’t know what the answer is other than TKD😁, but I do know you better be networking, and socializing with the normies if you want to make it much easier on yourself.
