[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s selling an image to 40 year old men who want to larp.

Do you think this video is about larping? There are actual people in the world that need to train like this for their jobs and competition. Several posts back there is video of Halle Berry doing this type of training for a role. Think of all the shows and movies where actors need to realistically portray soldiers or cops. What type of training do you think they go to? There are others that compete in shooting sports. https://uspsa.org/ Then there are people on the tactical side of law enforcement that benefit from the countless hours of training and real world experience of three ex-SEALs teaching a class.

There are certainly regular Joes that take these classes, but they’re really expensive for larpers. Shooting is a perishable skill. Most people think gun owners don’t get enough training. These instructors take firearm safety 1000x more seriously than the local 50-year-old you pay to teach you about guns. If you do something unsafe with a firearm they’ll bounce you right out of their $4,000 class. These classes teach things that would be applicable in the real world, not your typical static range scenario where you stand in a booth and fire at a single target 7 yards away. Those that push for people to get firearms training should commend gun owners that attend these courses, not try to put them down.[/quote]

If you are a Navy SEAL or a Hollywood actress, yes, you need to push yourself more than 99.9% of people.

But this is not relevant for the vast majority of people who just want to live normal lives. It’s just the same self-help “work harder!” grift that’s been pushed on teens/20-somethings ever since wages started stagnating and inflation rose in the 60s/70s.

Before that, one person could provide for a family of 4 on a pretty moderate salary working in a factory. Nobody needed to have “mindset” or whatever.

Now that life is completely unaffordable for most people, grifters have pushed this idea that you just need to be disciplined and work hard to be the best. No, human beings should not work themselves to an early grave just to survive. This is completely ridiculous.

And BTW, I’m one of those people who does do the LARPing of taking survival courses and firearms courses and working out 7 days a week. It has zero to do with “being a pro” and just that I find it fun. And I don’t need to be the best. Certainly I’m not going to be the best with all the time I waste on DCUM, lol.

Most people just want to live happy, fulfilling lives. Let’s get rid of this constant pressure to continuously self-improve. You shouldn’t need that just to put food on the table. [/quote]
