- A brief talk on Triggered Expats in the Philippines. It’s the reason many can’t stand us in many cases. Please don’t get triggered….. 😂
- Zábava
Just call it TOXIC because there's nothing masculine about bullying or being toxic
In 1944 18 and 19 year olds were storming the beaches of Normandy and running headlong into almost certain death, now they run headlong to a safe space if they hear something they don't like!
😂 sad but so true.
No more brother wars.
Facts
The divisiveness is by design. If you keep people against each other, no one is watching those in power.
Exactly ..
Sunshine shoulders is freaking out about how high his electricity bill is
Mine jumped 20%
Several of us talked and agreed, cost is as high or maybe higher here than in US.
He has good reason, just checked and he pays 35% more per KW/h than I do in Australia
He was right when said that if your utilities are more than your rent....when you are saying it is cheaper to live in the Philippines is great.....until it's not....That was a great point!...
@@Stonefeather53 He was right, some just pay the bill and just don't read it....but when you are doing a month by month comparison....someone should be addressing what has specifically caused those prices to jump so much....I just wonder hoe the local population that live almost hand to mouth are paying those prices.....
I'm like you Steve. Not left not right and just want to live a simple and happy life in this point of my life and get sick of negativity
I don’t like Political conversations but As a centrist there is no center in American Politics anymore, sad but true! I long for the days when a POTUS or Senator could reach across the isle and agree to a compromise, remember that word? It’s all just division today. Got to have term limits to run the Money out of Politics. United we Stand, Divided We Fall!
Political "Compromise" is what made our Political System Great ..
If "the Center" doesn't Stand- up and re-Assert Itself (hold) we are in for truly Dark Times ahead ..
I treat poltic people as invisible. It's amazing how less I care about them as I never watch news anymore. They all grumpy old men to me
Listening American politics, makes me staring to love Filipino politics a little bit more every day.
I'm convinced that the expat community has an abundance of people who dont fit in at home and have brought their personalities with them.
👍
Steve don't worry about it, it's just the masshole in us lol
I stay away from expats, they usually start telling me all their war stories and how they are as great as Audie Murphy. They are all millionaires and navy seals. Lol 😂
Rightfully so!!!! That's nature. They may learn to ajust to PI.
I agree with you 100% and have been called a SIMP on here before as well for standing up for women! It doenst bother me at all. I will continue standing up and speaking out when I see Neanderthal mentality in Toxic individuals.
As an American expat I do not interact with expats, mmany bring their racist habits with them, I just greet them and move on, I don't want friends, I enjoy my life stress free.
Do they play Dixie at home? Or just rasict against the natives/ locals,?
Amen 👍🏻
Yesterday after your show I was trying figure out how that "toxic" word came to be. It almost sounds like simpleton. But according to the definition you read, it can't be simpleton. But what struck me as funny was later I saw an "ad" for a cartoon show which showed some animated animal, I assumed it was a dog, and next to the character was a "simp card"!
I was reminded by my sister and some friends that the word "ex-pat" was considered a terrible name to call someone because it meant an ex-patriot, someone who didn't love his country. It was applied to people who did basically leave their national origin or country of birth because they hated it.
The divisive attitude in the US, for me, came as far back as the late 80's,when I noticed how litigious things were. I was at lunch with an attorney friend at a great soup place. He took a spoonful of his soup and it was very hot. His next words really surprised me, "I could sue this place for serving food too hot to eat!" I never thought something like that would happen until a woman at a drive up window of a fast food place received a coffee which she put between her legs and attempted to drive her car, spilling the coffee on her legs and burning her. (The burns were not that serious.) She sued the place because they failed to warn her that the coffee was hot! And, according to the brief, it was hotter than it should have been!
I feel that this has set one against the other to the point that neighbours don't talk with each other any more. In 2016 when I returned to the US, I, being a rather gregarious person, would speak to people when I saw them. Most looked at me like I was a nut job. One man, a Navy Vet, returned my greeting. On one occasion as I was leaving the apartment, a woman was approaching headed to her apartment. I said good morning and she took off running excitedly unlocking her door and then slamming it shut! That's the way it is going there. I agree that the division which has been created is by design and most poor people just don't recognise it.
The word 'simp' is just a colloquial abbreviation of sympathetic, i.e. showing sympathy.
It’s slang term is very different
I laughed out loud at the mention of people thinking exactly-pat means ex-patriot 😂 really . . . people need to how to use a dictionary
I gave up on America three years ago and moved to the Philippines, I do love my country but I don't like half the people. I live my life in the Philippines stress free and peaceful.
How no exspat drama.
I'm an American expat I still love my country, I came to the Philippines to save money then I'm going back home, if you don't like certain people just stay away.
@@eddieBoxer I do that's why I live in the Philippines. I'm not here to save money because I spend more money living here than in the United States.
I'm here to live a stress free peaceful life.
We own both our duplex in Florida and our three homes on different islands in the Philippines.
I have to pay two maids $150.00 dollars / 8,500 php each a month to take care of our other two homes eight hours a day six days a week. We also provided two meals a day plus one months salary for two week vacations a year and one months salary as a bonus at Christmas.
They both have their families on Philhealth insurance we pay the premium every three months for them.
@@LeonardMarlin wow that's nice of you
What happened to agree to disagree ?
Exactly
It takes mental effort to clearly express one's opinion...unfortunately many times we are not capable or lazy
The fact is, is that everyone gets "triggered" . I have found recently, that when someone is saying something I don't agree with or pissing me off. I listen even more! I look at it as educational. It gives you another way of thinking and looking at something or situation. I recently bought a book. I haven't read it yet, but seemed interesting. I it a book by Seth Goldenberg. It's called "Radical Curiosity" - Questioning Commonly Held Beliefs to Imagine Flourishing Futures. I feel most would be triggered just by the title.....? Anyway, I'm going to read it and so should you. Keep doing you Steve!!
It has become a very touchy world myself i try to stay away from people who are negative about everything i enjoy laughing try to always stay positive and polite anyway have a great day 😊
Great video Steve! I wish Philippines immigration would hire you to screen the expats and decide who can enter and then remain in the country. Essentially being the gatekeeper
I loved the video yesterday. You used and defined the word properly. And cool you triggered some people 😅. Some people do not realize, not everyone thinks the same as they do.
Yes! Thank you!
It's because we've all been programmed to be extreme with politics from the American culture 😢
I am in my 30s and people in my generation are a lot more humble than I find with the older generations especially the backpacker travel types but there are retirees who are nice and humble too. No one knows or cares about politic stuff, most of it is ignored. So now I choose my social circle very carefully. It's funny there is always sometimes the old grumpy lunatic who comes up to try and talk to me about world events, my country, conspiracy stuff, etc and I let it fly over my head most of the time. These people I run away from fast.
You will not miss those over-sensitive types. Not sure what has gotten us so sensitive. Media, Hollywood, Internet get us all riled up and most of the time there is NO value! We have forgotten our ability (Americans) to be polite and to know the boundaries of protocol. Your straight-forward and that is what we all like. Just keep going, you do not need to defend yourself at all. The majority of us respect and enjoy your content. Thank you.
Thanks Scott
Steve, I’m British- love your channel. It’s about time the world stops sugar coating everything and have some balls and say what we think and have some reality on things. The world is crazy nowadays because everyone is a winner and no one can lose.
If EVERYONE is a winner, than no one is. There are opposites to everything, you can't have love without hate, no light without dark, no good without evil.
Ahahahaha diba. Amen kuya.
I ignore them simply and watch as they try to polish their turds.
INGAT
Getting up and walking away from what somebody says is in it self not a bad thing, removing yourself from something that you are uncomfortable with is accually a good thing that way there is no confrontations. I personally stay away from crowds of expats as well as crowds of Filipinos. Being in small groups of people and talking is fine for me, I generally do not like people asking personal or financial questions or hovering around trying over hear a private conversation, when this has happened tome twice in the Philippines I got upset once with an expat and once with a Filipino other than that nothing bothers me too much.
The PC police hate the term “expat”. Like “simp” that is a word worthy of a discussion.
When i first came to the philippines everyone was doing their own thing and nobody cared.now we have social media and their are too many people worrying about what the other guy is doing.how times have changed.
Bingo
Good job Steve keep it up, these snow flakes can dish it out but can't rationally discuss it
Before social media did we ever get triggered? Has it desensitized us to the point of being trigger happy and we say what we feel?
Probably
Choosing to get mad over something you hear is like choosing to step in dog shi¥ instead walking around it.
I have this friend that anything sets him off. Seeing a pregnant lady or someone expecting a baby sets him off since, he cannot get his wife pregnant as of yet (they are early 40’s). Truth be told, he cannot afford a child. Anything sets him off to throwing things, cursing, etc. When we worked together, I could almost wager that something or someone would set him off within 10 minutes. I told him, imagine your kid being kicked out of nursery or pre-k if they took on your behavior. He has a college degree but the only job he can keep is working at his church or bagging groceries for tips. He messages me often to talk and ask for prayer. (A sad situation).
My two pesos…I think you make some great points.
I also think it’s unnecessary to casually throw around trendy and charged words that are common in the West but seldom heard in the Philippines outside of some expat circles and social media. It’s usually okay face-to-face, between friends, in a private conversation, but not necessary when speaking to the general public.
Those words are going to trigger a reaction every time and you know it in advance. The triggering is involuntary and uncontrollable for some. It’s like a western lifestyle induced PTSD. We all just want peace. Right?
Great Comment!!!🙏👍
I agree completely!
People need to conquer thier triggers. And learn how to regain rational thought.
I may totally agree with everything but you provide great information. Don't worry about people's low uninformed ideas.
I appreciate that!
Unfortunately, simpletons will always be amongst us…..
Lol, I have to say the only thing that sets me off in the PI is when I’m driving. My GOD, these people are the worse drivers in the world and statistics bear this out. I always tell myself that I’m going to remain calm because they are just terrible drivers and I can’t change it. But, within a mile of driving and almost being hit 3 times by motorcycles/scooters or some idiot walking in the lane when there is a shoulder to walk on or a sidewalk, and what makes it worse is they are looking down playing on their phone. Just can’t make this sh** up !!!
I this funny that you have to explain this. I remember when my sons started work in industry. I told them you are working with men now and they through some diggs at you. They will be even brutal in what they say. I told them if they say something that really bothers you just laugh at them like you dont care. They will soon move to someone else. There will always be thing said that people dont like, but everyone has an opinion. Just dont put a lot of stock in what everyone says. I told my sons, the only two people whos opinion you have to worry about is 1. The person yoou sleep with every night, and 2. The person who signs the fron of your paycheck. Keep up the good work.
LUV THE " DONT FOLLOW REGULAR P. C. rules."..nice one Kev.🤓
It's a good thing I don't wear tighty whiteses. It's Boxer briefs for me. Lol
Lol
Yes, much needed comments Steve. But will the 'overly triggering ones' heed your words? As I mentioned before, I think there are a certain small % of haters who hide behind their digital wall and just lash out. Why? Because they enjoy venting at others expense! Terrible, but true!
I agree
The word "simp" does trigger you. I, and many of your watchers were not aware of this word. Must have heard it but probably thought it was short for simple, uncomplicated or unsophisticated. English is not my mother language but after 50 years using it frequently my vocabulary is at times better than some native speakers however when you hear me speaking you notice straight away my accent.
@Stonefeather53 Could tell by the context the word was used that it is from the word 'sympathetic', never thought people were trying to say simple. Have heard the word a few times but only from trolls usually.
I think most of that weird stuff only lives online. You’ll meet people that are somewhat off here and there.
Actually, they live among us and they have always lived among us. The internet has just exposed all of those people to the world. They existed before the internet and the internet has now put them on full display. They are a huge component of society.
Your video reinforces my motto of not befriending expats.
Dont worry about it, its just the masshole in us. 😅
Masculine qualities are cool, calm, collected, strong, and confident. People who get triggered easily are more like ALWAYS the VICTIM mentality..
Hi Steve, I didn't watch your toxic masculinity video and I wouldn't unsubscribe your channel over it. IMO, you can discuss politics with liberals, but the left in the USA is all or nothing. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend using any language the left in the USA uses. My non-political gf was referring to signs of "climate change." I suggested she reword that to "changes in weather patterns." I believe it will take an event like Pearl Harbor to bring the USA together. I thought 911 would be that event, but it clearly was not. Again, just my opinion.
Hey Steve. People all over the world seem to have been deliberately set one against the other. Why is that? I guess to divide us. Keep us distracted. Like throwing a ball of yarn to a kitten. Who, or whom is behind this, and distracted from what you say? Well now that information is above my pay grade. I just know that it's a real thing, and it is getting in the way of our love and trust for one another. Making an inordinate number of people touchy, triggered and just a pain to deal with.
Another factor in the unfortunate phenomenon you describe, I believe, is the diminishing, or indeed, the utter disapearance of of men in our families. Men traditionally discipline the children, pointing them in the direction of socially acceptable patterns of behavior. This as opposed to women who(traditionally)nuture and profer unconditional acceptance and validation. This imbalance we have been experiencing for the last fity years or so, has societal implications, and not good ones. Of course, there have always been idiots, low lifes, and just ugly and mean-spirited people. But I know what you mean. There just seems to be more of them these day's...sadly. And I guess moving to the Philippines provides little in the way of respite.
Some people just don’t ‘get it’ “toxic masculinity” isn’t accusing all masculinity of being toxic any more than “Breast cancer” is suggesting all breasts are cancerous. People need to calm the eff down. The people who take the term “toxic masculinity” personally need to check themselves and ask themselves why they self-identify with the term.
I actually used the term because it fit the subject matter and not because I was making a lefty statement. That’s the funny part.
I don't get triggered because I have nothing to be triggered about. I live a simple life. I look after my family. The kids are being educated, we have a decent income and, after a rather eventful life, I am just enjoying the peace of my existence here - a morning coffee, a 10km walk every day and few beers of an evening while I read my book (at the moment it is Huckleberry Finn, a re-read). I don't know/associate with any foreigners so there is no potential to be triggered. My wife, on the other hand, is a hair-trigger just waiting to ping! but that's the Filipina mind-set. She cannot understand that I simply do not give a crap about 'saving face' or 'what the neighbours think'. Sweetheart, you own a shit-load of property, you don't have a mortgage and that's because of me. If the heavily indebted neighbours/family wish to comment on my so-called 'indolence', well earned I must add, I don't really care.
Steve. Great video. We all get triggered. I’m getting triggered reading these comments.😂
You and me both!
As far as politics, as long as you are not talking about something you have no first hand knowledge about, it will be fine, will not get upset. But agree, generally do not like to talk politics with anyone.
Unfortunately there are people like you describe everywhere. Thanks for the video, Steve...Jim
Toxic (and even positive) masculinity restricts and narrows down how we define ourselves. Healthy masculinity, instead, is about being yourself and embracing a limitless range of healthy emotions and values, regardless of gender.
God bless you brother 🙏
Thank you
5:30 As a Canadian and with all due respect it is a known thing that Americans like to argue. At least with the people that I've spoken to over the years.
SOME like to argue, others like a DEBATE, HUGE difference between the 2. The problem with people today is they have no accountability for their actions and want to ARGUE just to be right. 2 people can DEBATE in a calm and rational manner, and whether they agree or disagree, they can respect each others opinions without the need to be right.
What should I do, don't want to be called "Sir".
@Stonefeather53 Accept that you don't have control over other people. You can ask someone nicely not to call you sir, but you are definitely not going to stop strangers from calling you sir.
@@jsully4064 yes, just ignore it. I answer thank you your highness.
@@Stonefeather53 Thats not ignoring it, that is being someone with toxic masculinity...lol
I figured you would get some back lash. There are a lot of red pill and manosphere CZcams shows that are devoted to that topic and also shows that are geared to incels and they get triggered by some buzz words.
Could only watch about half of the last video. Not because I was triggered just tired and bored with that subject. These terms mean different things to different groups. I prefer the old terms such as thin skinned and jerks. Anyways. Hope we can remember to mind our Ps snd Qs.
I didn't watch the last video either, terms like toxic, simp, racist, etc. have been so over used they have lost all meaning and no one cares if they are called it any more. It's like that hit new song, every radio station plays it 5 times an hour for days and everyone hops on the train, after a week of it, people are sick of it and never want to hear it again.
Ole Steve likes to stir the pot a little from time to time. It is amusing and I like it. The only thing that bothers me about this is that it can be a sign that a vlogger is going to leave the channel.
Maybe…. Maybe Not….. 😆
How are you doing these days. We miss seeing your posts Mark. 🙏👍✌🏻
@@MrSteven5975 Still hanging out in Iowa. My wife works fulltime at the University of Norhthern Iowa. I still struggling some with my health but hoping for some upside soon. I still look at a lot of your videos. Always interesting. I don't have to go to the Philippines.....my wife has a cluster of six Philippine folks across the street. And she working on getting her other son and daughter in law and 3 children here. Nanie my wife worked with immigration some as a translator and police woman for 15 years so she knows the ropes and the people. She might get it done! But it is slow.
Stop triggering me Steve!😆
Kidding.😊
Some guys out there just need to grow a pair, and deal with the dialogue.
Put it simple no matter where you go their will always be ball busters around you grow a thicker skin
I have thick skin, thay cannot offend me
When people do that to me i just give them " the look" and walk away. I saw a guy do it to a politician and i did it to the same guy. Some people cant deal with it. Sorry i out rank you bye
Well, it seems like you've only upset the emasculated Eunic's, so I wouldn't worry so much.
Those people are never going to be happy and I would say, "Just Ignore Them", but I know how they like to insert themselves into the business of others. I would be blunt with them and just tell them like it is.
Reality, really doesn't give two sh*ts about your "Feelings".
Hey Steve. The triggered sensitive crybabies are ruining the world.
In Summary, Dont let Woke Gen Xers bring their crap to Philippines. When Bloggers Disrespect Filipinos especially Filippinas That will Trigger me.
Steve. Please explain the difference between Masculinity and Toxic Masculinity. You can’t. Prove me wrong.
@themosquitoguy3529 Thats easy, but don't want to waste my time typing on the keyboard.
If you don’t know by now I’m not going to explain. And obviously you didn’t listen to the video.
Meditation and hearing of the world of God make a life beautiful. 😊🎉
Anger is not justified. Never. No, even one, reason to justify anger.
Maybe that statement is too simplistic? Anger is just one of a range of emotions that makes us human. For example, if I see someone beating a dog then I'm going to get angry. A robot would not.
Simp, toxic masculinity now triggered. This guy is becoming very woke
Apparently you didn’t watch the video if you’re saying that……. Was it something I said that triggered this response? Hmmm
I use the english laungage the way it was taught to me in a one room school in new hampshire ! anyone doesnt like it,,tough crap ! and as far as politics,,i have my opinions ,,such as sleepy joe only wakes up to take a payoff from china ! dont like my opinion ,,tough crap ! see you in november,,take care,,love your videos Steve !
I watched the whole video. Twice, actually. You are railing on the use of term "simp" and identified it with toxic people. Ok. Yet today, after what appears to me as you being really triggered about the simp word, now cite your amusement at others being triggered? And you get to use whatever words you want, etc.
I'm genuinely perplexed at this double standard. So you can be triggered, and people are "idiots" according to what you provided today, if they take what you said, in the vernacular of the trade, and hold you accountable? And should have given you a pass and know what you meant? I don't know, but possibly there's some inconsistency with regard to standards, both with yourself and with others.
I'd reflect on it, and possibly you could avoid future damage control vids.
I don’t think you listened very well because I said even I myself get triggered on occasion. But this is not one of the times.
Sounds like you got triggered 😆✌🏻
Sayang,....!! 🤷♂️. 🤟😅
