The content argues that a crisis of depression among young men stems from modern society's failure to provide them with fundamental needs: a purpose to work towards and a cause to fight for, which the author posits are historically fulfilled by religious institutions, particularly Protestantism.

there's an epidemic of depression among
young men and even the media recognizes
this but the solutions they provide are
honestly crap this is because the
so-called experts really have no idea
what a man is or what a woman is for
that matter because modern people see
humans as just elevated animals who want
nothing more than their carnal desires
but this is not true at all inside the
heart of every man is a warrior all men
need something to fight for part of the
reason why Sports and video games are so
popular among Modern Men is because
there's not much for men to fight for in
the real world but men still look up to
Heroes and role models who fight for
what they believe in why do you think
men think about the Roman Empire so much
there's a reason the Bible refers to God
in masculine terms despite the fact that
God has no gender according to his
Divine Essence it's because the Bible
Compares God to a mighty warrior and men
look up to Mighty Warriors the Bible
also says men are made with a desire to
work if that work is productive and
creates great things so why are men
struggling so much these days well it's
because men need two things something to
work for and something to fight for and
modern society gives them neither of
those things first of all the school
system is basically rigged against boys
because it discourages boys from being
boys from a young age boys are taught to
sit on their butts for eight hours a day
and if they don't like that they're
diagnosed with ADHD guys are discouraged
from being creative adventurous or funny
so normal male Behavior gets branded as
bad and boys end up being seen as second
rate girls because schools tend to
promote more feminine traits like being
organized and following directions
that's why all those 20 highlighter
girls whose notes look like you could
publish them in an art gallery end up
doing so much better in school not
because they're necessarily smarter than
the guys but because they're a lot
better at doing the Mindless busy work
that teachers hand out which is honestly
just an excuse for teachers to not do
any teaching so men falling behind
academically is one of the reasons that
Society gives them nothing to work for
but they also have nothing to fight for
these days traditionally the things men
would fight for are their faith family
and Country but modern society has
abandoned all of these things in terms
of Faith gen Z is the least religious
generation in human history it's also
the most depressed generation in human
history and that's why a lot of young
men turn to political extremism because
they need something to believe in but a
lot of young men also believe in nothing
and become nihilist and they try to
drown out their meaninglessness with
marijuana video games and pornography
for family back when the church had
power in society and encouraged monogamy
most men were able to find a wife
because you had one man assigned to
every one woman and there's about an
equal number of men and women in the
world mathematically everyone's going to
find someone but ever since the church's
Authority declined and was replaced by
hookup culture now we've kind of
reverted to a prehistoric model of
polygamy where a few men get all the
women and the rest of the men don't get
any either way it's really hard for the
average man to start a family for
Country this country has spent the past
20 years telling men that they're the
oppressor which kind of explains why men
are not too Keen to fight for their
country anymore now back in the day what
gave men something to work for and
something to fight for was the church
specifically the Protestant churches and
I'll explain why first of all the
Protestant work ethic which of course
the left says is racist says that you
should work as hard as possible because
you're glorifying God in doing so by
building up his kingdom and that's why
historically Protestant men built the
most successful societies to ever exist
and to this day the most developed
countries are the historically
Protestant ones now all religion could
give people something to fight for but
protestantism specifically has this
Doctrine called the priesthood of all
believers which is that it's the job of
every individual believer to be a
soldier for God's kingdom by sharing the
good news about Jesus and of course
protestantism isn't the only form of
Christianity but I do believe it's been
most successful in accomplishing the
mission of Christian ity and it puts the
most emphasis on personally believing
and understanding that Jesus Christ died
for your sins and rose again from the
dead and through him you can be raised
from the dead as well so if young men
band together and do a crusade to
restore the institutional churches it'll
do a few things first of all it's going
to completely solve the male loneliness
epidemic you know it used to be
completely unheard of for people to not
have friends cuz everyone's Community
was through the local church but ever
since the decline of the local church
it's been very common for men to have no
in real life friends number two it'll
give men something to fight for we all
know that men bond with each other over
going on an adventure and having some
cause to be passionate about and number
three it will save the souls of people
in Generation Z you know Christianity
isn't just good because it's useful it's
good because it's objectively true and
because it delivers a message that saves
people from Eternal death and grants
them eternal life and eternal life is
something that Generation Z desperately
needs right now and finally Reviving The
the institutional church will make the
culture better for both young men and
young women because it's going to
rebuild strong families and communities
that are centered around a common
purpose so if you're looking to explore
a Christian Community I made a map of
historic Protestant churches all around
the world so you can find a Protestant
church close to you now these days a lot
of Protestant churches are either ugly
or liberal but I made sure that every
Church on my map is both traditional in
terms of teaching and in terms of style
and if you want online Christian
Community you're welcome to join the
redeemed Zoomers Discord where you can
meet Christians of all different
denominations to learn about their
distinctive practices and beliefs and
traditions but of course this is not
meant to be a substitute for real church
because we encourage everyone in the
server to go to church in real life as
well and if you're already a strong
Christian and you want something to
fight for you can join operation
Reconquista we are a group of Mainline
Protestants fighting to take back our
traditional churches from secularists
that have hijacked it so there's going
to be a link in the description of this
video explaining how this is going to
work the bottom line is if you're a
young man in today's world the culture
rejects you but Jesus does not so join
the church and find Something to Believe In
