We could dream of something like 15%+ men identifying as MGTOW (publicly and privately) and infiltrating every facet of life…law, IRS, government, etc. Probably need some sort of great awakening like that or the future wont really be worth living in even if we age in comfort.
And look at the masons…as a man I don’t even know anyone that’s a member and have no idea what they talk about. Perhaps MGTOW will need a public front that is accepted by society.
I think about all of these wars that we commemorate and build national identities around. The men who fought in WW1 and 2 among others would never have supported what has happened to their countries. They fought and died for something that has long since been ripped apart. Even passing things onto the next generation is pointless as they have different ideas about what to do with it all.
Absolutely. Nothing like risking your life, or giving it in many cases, for a society that now despises you. I shed my own patriotism long ago. I see everything now as a a cycle that has repeated throughout history. Civilizations rise and fall. Governments collapse, nations overwhelmed. The US and the Western world in general is in deep decline. The eventually collapse is inevitable. It may be in our lifetimes, it may be within the next 100 years, but it will happen. No sense in fretting over it.
Yeah, society does tend to shrug off the welfare of those who occupy certain margins. Choosing to stay single shouldn't put somebody in one of those disregarded margins.
One idea would be to check with a local social worker about any support in place for people without the help of family. Even people who spent most of their lives married or who have extended family could find themselves without support if their health fails. I'd think organizations like social services, hospitals, nursing homes, or providers of long-term care insurance would offer seminars on how single people can provide for their future needs.

Oooh. I really like this idea. Setting up MGTOW as a charitable organisation. Get TPTB to contribute financially to our cause. (charitable donations being tax deductible in many jurisdictions).
Toolband has a point though about the IRS getting involved and needing a team of lawyers.
They’ll need to be paid. Not to mention the CEO’s, the support staff and goodness knows how many others. It would be bled dry like so many other so-called charitables.
Naw, on second thoughts don’t bother, it would only serve to bring us into even more disrepute (if that’s possible).
Nice thought though.
No. It's a noble idea. But any such organization will eventually have, well, an "accountant" or a "lawyer" in charge of distributing the money. And the money will be distributed to a nation and to causes that I refuse to have my name (and money) associated with.
Plus, such a national organization will have a membership roster that could be made public. MGTOW's might get doxed and have their lives ruined simply for being members.
Again, noble idea. But unworkable.
Single men are viewed as an anomaly. We aren't "normal" because we don't want to be chained to the gynocracy. We're unimportant and are to be marginalized. We don't want our lives to be run at the behest of those who would "lead us around by our penises".
The truth is that as human beings we do not matter!

I've been thinking about this for a while myself. If I were married or had kids I wouldn't depend on them being around to help me.
An option I didn't see in your first post OP, is roommates. Chances are I'm going to find some other men, also older who I can depend on and hopefully we'll live together.
I may live in an RV park (with other old folks) and we will probably help each other out.
There are partially assisted living options for much cheaper than some of the other posts. They bring in all sorts of services but also have volunteers that take you to appointments and such.
I am saving and making lots of $ so likely $ will take care of me. If I can't afford it in this country, then I may live in another country where I can afford staff to help me.
Over then next ~20 yrs, there may be robotic options. I think that gets more and more likely as tech progresses. Certainly cars will be self driving so mobility in that sense won't be an issue.
/Tired.
There might be self driving cars in twenty years, but I don't think everyone will have one, or be able to afford it if they wanted.
Cities in the American west have public transportation. But the smaller towns and villages, you're on your own and I don't see that changing anytime soon. In my town you can get a bus ride to the neighboring city, but that's it. Around town there's nothing. I guess you could get one of those motorized wheelchairs, that would get you to the grocery store and back.
Every day I make the world a little bit worse.
That's true: roommates may be a viable option. If you could find other solitary men with the same mindset, I think it could actually be enjoyable to have some company in your own home. This reminded me of a 2017 movie called "Going in Style", with Alan Arkin, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, who are decades long friends who help each other out in their old age (I'm not sure if they lived together in the movie though).
Like I've mentioned before, the assisted living option seems the most attractive to me: to be able to stay in your own place, and have people do all kind of services for you. And if today we can get practically anything delivered to our home (from meals to groceries), imagine how easy and commonplace it will be in a couple of decades ahead!
I don't think many will have to worry about living in nursing homes long. This is just the first of many pandemics for the next ten years. Mandated jabs of residents will have the immune system at nil. Assisted living residents are classed as "Useless Eaters" by the WEF. Your twilight years will be short. Boomers have a lot of money tied up, sooner that money is spent by the younger generations the better for the economy. The super wealthy are waiting for that money to trickle into their bank accounts.
It will all be for the greater good....
Record high inflation, stock market volatility, food and fuel shortages, drought, combined with a long hot summer, we may not make it to autumn!
I'm getting that feeling you get at a large gathering that's about to go rogue! My focus is on tying together a few deckchairs and some Styrofoam for when this ship finally goes DOWN! It's hull has taken on water for so long that it's rusting through and leaking in faster than anyone can pump it out!
Corruption, like low tide, lowers all boats and smashes their hulls on the rocks.
What's the point of living a long life if you've got nobody to share it with?
You have a couple of options, obv keep things low key and local.
1. Join the mananites/amish communities
2. Start your own communities
3. Surrogate/artificial wombs/have your own kids for homesteadin
4. Save yourself first and possibly save/find others who are likeminded
5. Hire vets/fams to build n defend your empire/defenses.
6. Become a superhero like Tony Stark
Thoughts?
I think about this more and more. I am an only child, I have no cousins, only mum and dad who are now 70. I'm torn between two options; eventually sell up the house and land, check into a retirement home and spend every last cent on myself or, if I become unable to take care of myself, take a pistol out for a little walk and never return. Australia is a big place, they'd never find my body and I've leave a note not to look.
