The disappearance of traditional manual labor has left a massive void in how men channel their physical energy. For generations, working in shipyards, mines, and factories provided a sense of pride and a tangible outlet for physical strength. Now that we’ve transitioned into a service-based economy, that raw energy has nowhere to go. When you take away a person's ability to build things with their hands and provide through physical toil, you don't just lose a job; you lose a sense of identity and community. I honestly believe much of the so-called toxic behavior we see today is actually misplaced aggression from a demographic that no longer feels useful or physically challenged. We’ve traded grit for cubicles, and society is paying the price through a crisis of purpose. We need that direction back. #culture #sociology #labor https://thoxt.com/l/tmwylY 🔗
