Our fathers and forefathers, who had a significant influence on male offspring, were or still are traumatized by the past wars, were absent or had no time for their children because of their work. In a time without initiation rites and without male mentors, sons find it increasingly difficult to discover true manhood.
Being a man means being wild without hurting anyone, neither mentally nor physically, but moving forward authentically and protectively with perseverance, determination, logic and improvisation. From becoming a man to being a man, we have to take a path that doesn't just start on its own. Real male role models are of great importance, and unfortunately they are not found very often in everyday life in the West.
Initiation rites in which boys become men, as are still practiced among indigenous peoples and which often even scare us away with their brute force and severity, are now alien to our society. Due to increasingly unconscious identity crises, adolescents are filling their inner emptiness with drug experiments, excessive smartphone use and violent video games.
However, the need of boys and men to compete with their peers is genetically anchored as an archetypal pattern in men and urgently needs to be lived out. However, this should preferably happen in real life, for example in sports clubs or in the forest, in nature, rather than in the virtual world.

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
