I am risk adverse, this is true. But I don't believe people should have to take great risk just to live an average life. Granted, that is what people are facing in the west today, and that is why there is growing anger and resentment, and it is righteous.
You are the one categorizing the things I've mentioned as great risk. I don't think that's accurate.
To me joining the military and serving over seas was not risky. To others it is risky.
To me leaving my easy job paying 80k for a much harder job paying double at a larger company with high likelihood of layoffs was not risky, to others it was risky. I did infact get laid off, but paid out a very robust severance and landed an even better job.
Again you have to take risk to get rewarded.
That's basics of how the world works.
So really what we are fundamentally talking about is a difference in perception of entitlement.
You believe you should be entitled to a nice risk free job that pays well.
I don't. I would rather take the risk and bet on myself than play it safe.
History is full of men who didn't play it safe and took risks.
We should be inculcating a culture of men here who are aware of that and embrace well measures risk taking.
No, things are not "hard", things are becoming impossible, and thus, you will get a reaction to it. I don't know what it will be, but this capitalist system is running out of steam.
Maybe, but more likely we will just see more wealth stratification until some reform happens which helps free capital up to average persons and real wage growth occurs.
