R.I.P. Coach.... I always enjoyed listening to him. He was a very good speaker and very smart person. I feel like he could of left Ukraine early in but was just too bitter with the world to really give a crap about continuing to live...

Yes, you're wrong. He was married with kids and his red pilling didn't just pertain to dating and he never really came off as complaining but just speaking for how reality actually is. He originally said that his videos were first and foremost made to be left to his kid(s) as life advice to them. He didn't go off the deep end until the Ukraine war started.

Here's a good short video example of a Coach Red Pill talk where he's definitely nothing like the whiners about not getting dates (those are more blackpill, actually)

Sound like an old guy mad about not getting 25 year old dates? Assumption is bad. 😉

I feel like he could of left Ukraine early in but was just too bitter with the world to really give a crap about continuing to live... About a half year or so after the war started, his wife divorced him and took the kids. The war enabled Ukrainian women to leave their country and men behind, fleeing to US or EU, so Coach was probably bitter over that. Maybe he even decided to stay behind and martyr himself in protest of the war.

Due to the age gap though, his marriage was likely destined to fail as soon as she had an exit strategy (to the west, where other comparatively wealthy and younger men, were more plentiful).

Coach RP was financially successful and married a 25 y/o blonde. He married her, fucked her, and had at least 2 kids with her. Zelinksky is puppet mini-dictator propped into power by the US. The US has a long history of propping up dictators and turning its back on them after they've served their purpose. Saddam Hussain was probably the most well known among them. I don't adhere to this team sports mentality in everything political, so in no way am I suggesting that Putin is good guy or on the right side of history either.

Like I have said before you really need to stop getting all of your info about the world from right wing conspiracy sites. We have talked to death about Ukraine here but there are many very long well done videos on YouTube about the history of Ukraine, Zelinsky's predecessor was a puppet of Russia as evidenced by him fleeing the country in a helicopter to Russia where he still lives to this day. Ukraine has been drifting to the West for decades, it doesn't take a "puppet" in power to make that happen. There is a video with 25 million+ views where an American professor is basically blaming the whole war on the US. There is another video where a woman asks him point blank "You keep saying this is our fault for making Putin angry but Ukraine is an independent country, why is it our responsibility to do whatever Russia wants? Why can't we be our own country?" He nervously laughs and hems and haws, its pretty sad to watch. Its like blaming a rape victim for being outside after dark in a dress.

I all honesty, it is kinda hard to rape someone if they're locked in a nuclear bunker by themselves after dark in a dress.

I asked a co-worker (American now, but from Russia and who served in the USSR military in his youth) what he thought about this war. He said the US doesn't want to win. I replied with basically the same I told you guys.. if we wanted to win, we'd have our troops on the ground in Ukraine. Russia has secured swaths of the resource rich areas in Ukraine and, the Russians are so dug in, Ukraine hasn't made progress for a while. It would take the US military (direct involvement) to change the tide.
At the end of the day, the Russia-Ukraine war is another fund raising event for the US military-industrial complex as well as securing the future of the petrodollar (by cutting off Russian gas & oil to the EU). Mission accomplished.

Leaders of countries do this all the time, block NATO memberships and such in order to get more things for their country. The Prime Minister of a country in the EU making a political maneuver is different then a person who only posts right wing stuff repeatedly on a forum over and over and over again for years.

Forget about right wing stuff and consider history. We've pumped trillions of $'s into middle-east wars and lost & withdrew. We've lost every major war since WWII despite having military budget far exceeding all of our "axis of evil" enemies combined. We should be winning, because I agree we have the superior military, but we lose time and time again. It's never occurred to you that maybe the goal isn't winning and, rather, it's about funding and exchanging mega $'s for MIC?

People say "we can't afford single payer healthcare" because its "too expensive", we have the most expensive healthcare in the world and spent 10 TRILLION dollars on wars overseas. If we have money for overseas wars we certainly have enough money to forgive ALL student loans. I have been opposed to the wars in the middle east since day one, were you pro-war back in 2003 or have you changed your tune?

Bush Jr promised (prior to his 1st term) he wouldn't govern like we're the world's police and then he did. So no, he didn't get my vote when he ran for re-election.
It seems most of the wars we fight are over securing the petrodollar, including this proxy war in Ukraine. Truthfully, if nations lose faith in the petrodollar and cease international trade in the USD, then the US economy would be screwed. So i'm kind of on the fence about it. I'd rather we just become more competitive (shift more towards meritocracy) instead, like many of the Asian countries. But we live in a culture of decadence, so that would be a long & difficult transition, including for our leadership.

Forgiving student loans defeats the point in having loans in the first place. Instead, why not cut the (middle-man) banks out of the equation, have govt subsidize student tuition directly, so that the taxpayers don't wind up (indirectly) paying interest on other peoples' debt. Also, make worthless degrees illegal or excluded from govt subsidies. I'm sure you'd agree that Jordan Peterson's school would be one of those. The govt already has the average pay and growth (by degree program/career field) mapped out, so it shouldn't be too difficult to decide which degrees don't make the cut. www.bls.gov/ooh/field-of-degree/

That's true sometimes, but every situation is unique. Slovakia ain't Turkey. If you're right about Russia wanting to expand westward after Ukraine, Slovakia's dead center of Russia's warpath. What good is the bribe money (to admit Ukraine to NATO) if doing so puts you in Russia's crosshairs? Slovakia is well aware of the consequences of WWIII with Russia - it could mean their destruction, so their reasoning for blocking Ukraine is ultimately self-preservation.

Here's a map, so you can visualize what paths Russia might take if they expanded the war in Europe. Slovakia's smack dab in the danger zone, touching the western border of Ukraine. So you see, bribe money might actually not be what they're concerned about.

The assumptions (by the mainstream, both left and right.. tradcons on the right for example) is that any critique of the modern dating market or social changes (particular post-90's, with the rise of dating apps and degrees like Gender Studies) is that all the critiquing is being done by the same group of women-hating incels. CRP didn't hate women. Far from it - he was married and wanted nothing more than to be a family man. Regardless, the facts bear out that major changes have occurred in dating & marriages with historically low marriage rates and birthrates. The numbers don't lie.

If people can't afford kids they will not have them. You used to be able to get married and buy a house at 22. Was reading about a couple that got married and moved into one of their parents basement and spent every single spare nickel on student loans. Then in 10 years once the loans were paid off I their early 30s they started saving for a house. Thats insane. Any economic system that disincentivizes children is going to have trouble sustaining itself.
