Thread: America's gambling problem that has spawned, will speed up the collapse.

The internet, video games, social media....

Has caused most younger individuals to develop addictive personality disorder.

Addiction is universal to ALL of your habits. If you are addicted to video games there is a VERY high chance you will also be susceptible to become addicted to another habit good or bad.




Gambling in America has made record profits year after year since 2020 and Covid and is expected to grow even larger.


I don't care about what a person does with their money but I don't think it's smart to create a society full of gamblers especially when most of the young ones most likely have a form of addictive personality disorder.

The whole ordeal will end up with most people well getting addicted to gambling...day after day..week after week gambling away that extra $200 needed to pay bills, help with groceries etc...and the problem will compound and compound and it will then open a whole pandora box of sets of issues.

It will also create and make inflation even worse in the country and add to the weak men that is already running rampant in society. They will only know how to function in a society based on gambling unless you are the hyper educated elite.


The effects this will have on society will be and has already been catastrophic.

Not to mention I think it's extremely inhumane to trap a person who has a diagnosed/or undiagnosed medical condition "addictive personality disorder" and then lock them in a game that will mathematically make them lose all of their money.


America is going to learn why in the end. Greed kills all. No one is immune. Not me, you nor anyone.

I do wonder what percentage of people are addicted to something. Obviously addiction and the treatment of addiction is a cash cow.

Food (specifically obesity), porn, social media, attention, sex, gambling, alcohol, hard drugs, weed, cigs, etc, etc. Seems like damn near something like 80%+ of people are addicted to something. Thing is...nowadays everything is commoditized and it's like the algorithms and what not are a form of sorcery that knows our brains better than we do.

Go to a casino in vegas or any city really and look at the data on the chart above. Most of society is. Every dollar spent gambling is money that could have been spent on a haircut, food, bills, etc....

When you place a bet you are expected mathematically to lose that dollar. So you might have well just burned it.

My thought for a few years now has been that most younger people have some mild form of autism from environmental factors. This explains the snowflake phenomenon, for example.

That and gambling definitely won't mix. Problem gambling is a form of obsessive-compulsive behavior, and those on the spectrum have such behavior in spades.

If gambling is an addiction just like drugs, then look no further than to the government to find your number 1 dealer.

I don't stop at convivence stores anymore because I can't stand waiting in line while everyone in front of me gets their fix, especially the assholes that start scratching their tickets on the counter like a meth addict scratching their face!

I've seen people that can't pay the rent, stiff the landlord, and abandon a junk car on the property FULL OF LOTTERY TICKETS.

Two things you'll find littering the sidewalks in any major shithole city; 1. lottery tickets, 2. used hypodermic needles. Welcome to culture change where all morals and stability have vanished.

It's a serious issue here in the UK, every small town has at least 1 betting shop, made worse by the fact that betting companies can now advertise and the ability to gamble 24/7 on your smartphone. I have seen many people waste fortunes even with traditional gambling.

Most of them tend to be young men with no direction in life, needless to say this problem is only going to get worse in the future. I used to gamble regularly and was a member of a forum for over a decade. I just naturally grew out of it.

OTOH, they could always take up farming.

It's the dopamine chase.

Everything in modern society has regulated your dopamine receptors so it makes it harder and harder for the neurons to become excitable with the same stimuli, so you have to consistently chase after a stimulus that is strong enough to generate an action potential (this would be the biochemical equivalent for "hit"). First you start off with harmless things then you are forced to chase stronger and stronger to get the same effect.
They claim this is a problem but never point to the reasons and the culprit behind it aka advertising:
1. Fancy food and cooking TV shows - (Food stimulates transmitters)
2. Short form content on media sites (Promotes a quick stimulation - Low attention span)
3. Video games (Constant activation of neurotransmitters)
4. Cultural acceptance of drug use and drug habits (What the fuck happened to "Just say no")

Controversial opinion here: Part of the reason why some men can be no-contact MGTOW in the first place is because they're being satiated enough by these very same things to not have to chase pussy to get a fix. If we remove all the addiction capability of the modern world, these men would be back on the plantation first thing tomorrow.

The collapse is inevitable. Especially considering 80% of men are invisible to women and feel that life is meaningless. The ones who don't go mgtow will snap.

And this isn't even counting the biggest gambling dens. The stock market and crypto

The reason for gambling on the stock market and crypto is because of the post you made above this one. These men want to get out of the bottom 80% and get women to notice them so they fall for get rich quick schemes. Doesn't help that all the RP "bros" promote it too.

Personally, I made $30k profit on crypto since I started throwing money away on it. I can afford to lose it. Would not advise for anyone else.
That isn't a brag. It was meant for hilarity.

Just had an e-mail from my bank saying they are restricting transfers to crypto accounts for safety issues.

But nothing to prevent me from losing my life savings in an online casino.

This is a significant problem in our time

Society is all about making money by creating a problem than making more money by offering to solve it. Fast food is an obvious one, "Drink Coke, eat pizza, be cool! Oh you're putting on weight, here is the number for a therapist to help you, if that doesn't work buy this pill!"

We see the same now with Gender, race, religion etc they are all big money spinners and ways for people to get elected.

Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it wrongly and applying unsuitable remedies.Ernest Benn 1875–1954 English publisher

They'll lose game after game, pissing money away because they're chasing that rush of victory that they once had. It's a trap. Don't even play one game! It's pissing money down the drain. There's a reason why the casinos are so rich and fancy. They win most of the time. It's set up so that a person can occasionally win so that the person gets hooked. Don't be that person. If you go to Vegas, or some place like it, just see the shows.

As I get older I see the reasoning in people saying "don't start and you won't have to quit" when it comes to stuff that can be addictive. It seems like the goal of about everything is to get us addicted in order to make money...look at cigs 60 years ago or how beer is advertised everywhere or the various addictive traps on the internet...and now the push for weed. Same for gambling.

Be a person that can find joy in the smallest of things...be a person that can sit on the porch and enjoy watching the birds and squirrels do what they do. I remember my dad's parents as people like this...in the spring and summer at least 3-4 hours a day would be dedicated to sitting on the porch reading the newspaper, watching outside and talking....no phones, no internet and they didn't even have cable tv (refused to let it be put in even for free).

That's a great point. Today I enjoyed cutting up a pineapple and eating pieces of it. I've been eating things like fruit because I've finally gotten off of the sugary crap like soda pop and candy bars. That shit is designed to be addictive too! So is fast food. I quit eating that shit as well. I cook every one of my meals, and they're all designed to be super healthy with lots of fiber and great stuff. There's a bunch of great stuff that grows in nature that you can just eat, and it's great for you and is not some fucked-up addiction. So I enjoy stuff like pineapples, bananas, oranges, etc. And I either drink plain water or sparkling water if I ever get the itch for a damn soda.

Kick the addictive shit out of your life! Alcohol will fuck up your judgement. Gambling will deplete all your money, and maybe even make you owe a shit-ton. Soda and sweets will trash your health.

Simple stuff like playing with your dog on your porch or eating pineapple can be appreciated. You don't have to own a yacht in the Caribbean to enjoy life.

For me, playing online casino games from the comfort of my own home is a truly enjoyable experience. I find that I get more pleasant sensations when I'm able to relax and play without any distractions or external pressures. One of my favorite online casino platforms to play on is URL redacted by frog. The user-friendly interface and seamless gameplay make it easy for me to immerse myself in the gaming experience and fully enjoy all that the site has to offer.
