Toxic Society

Masculinity is not toxic, Society is!

Why is society so toxic?

It’s a question I’ve asked myself many times over the years.

The answers are pretty harsh, but they’re undeniable.

This is why.

1) Society encourages reckless group behavior
When one person acts violently, horribly or insanely, they usually end up being identified as someone who’s “not OK” and “needs help.”

But when an entire society “needs help,” it tends to be the opposite.

The toxic, violent, insane behaviors become normalized.

Those who don’t engage in them become identified as the ones who are strange or off track.

It’s quite a sick equation.

The crazed behavior of the mob becomes the norm, and the few voices of those who don’t agree become seen as dangerous and nuts.

Like German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said:

“In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.”

When going with the flow means a one-way trip to the sewer, you’re better off turning the other direction.
