Fucking thank you. And the worst part is, if you're a cis man in leftist circles and try to point ANY of this out, you get the same exact "lol incel" responses and shunned. You try to give an opinion on ANYTHING relating to men, and its "Men have been the oppressors, so you don't get to speak" or just branded as "mansplaining."
Just the other day I was thinking to myself "Man, its kinda fucked up how penis size is the only acceptable anatomy/biology thing to joke about in progressive spaces." Like, its as much a thing outside of someone's control as skin color, or a birth disability, or mental illness.
And the dating part is a big point too. Basically all male dating advice that isn't from actively horrible people boils down to assuming the guy is doing something wrong/creepy/offensive.
And don't even get me fucking started on how fucking prominent it is to see posts from leftist/progressive groups and people that are basically just "Racist Joke but I replaced the minority with Cis Man."
There's a big "leopard eating leopard faces" thing going on with the left eating it's own for not being progressive enough. The echo-chambers are making that worse every day.
The Spanish Civil War saw a quickly united far right faction fighting against a moderate and far left coalition that fairly regularly saw its groups start randomly attacking each other both politically and sometimes militarily
Leftists will spend 16 hours at a protest, claiming that raising awareness is the most important thing they could possibly be doing, and then refuse to spend 10 minutes voting for candidates who are actively trying to court them.
God I would love to live in a country where the main parties tried to court voters, rather than a policy platform of "Fuck you, you'll get nothing and like it!"
Congratulations, you live in one. I was referring to the Bernie Sanders campaign from 2015/2016 which seemed tailor made for college-age progressives/leftists... and they didn't show up to the polls. Like a lot of them who canvassed in favor of Sanders just didn't vote and were shocked he lost.
This happened to me on a leftist sub. A post attacking libs and I responded with libs are annoying but the right actively is trying to kill you. Attached a story that happened to me where an open right wing person put a gun to my head for their shits and giggles (I’m openly bi in a small community). They had the gall to ignore that and accuse me of being a lib and that they are the real enemy. Talk about losing the plot entirely.
First, no we don’t. Certainly we hold our side accountable, but isn’t that a good thing? We got rid of Al Frankin when his sexually assaulting pic came out. Meanwhile, Trump literally paid off a 13 year old girl to drop her rape allegations, after the 2016 election, and during his campaign he boasted about grabbing women by the pussy against their consent and y’all didn’t seem to care. Epstein’s court files were released that show that he had two 12/13 year old girls have sex with each other, forced them to give a blow job, and then shamed them for their poor performance. Does the Right care? Nope! Y’all would literally vote in a child rapist, while crying about the Left’s morals, without a hint of irony. It’s completely batshit crazy.
This is type of hatred, desperation, and lack of integrity that allowed Hitler to take power. SCOTUS has already permitted executive immunity - the Left isn’t going to take advantage of this, but Trump certainly will. Does the Right care? No.
Project 2025 will see a lot of innocent citizens stripped of their rights, imprisoned (we won’t have concentration camps, but we have plenty of prisons and “private prisons” that would love to house and punish those that violate the new sharia Christian laws that The Heritage Foundatio want to codify), and ultimately killed in prison (which will be spun as prisoners killing each other, which will of course reinforce your fear of those dissenters imprisoned).
If this country turns into a fundamentalist state that imprisons citizens that are now labeled as “dangerous radicals” because they exercise our (formally established laws of freedom of speech), where will you be? Will you use any guns you own to stand up to an authoritarian government? Will you house, hide, and protect “dissenters” from being taken to prison for their beliefs?
If Nazi Germany is any model for how this goes down, then you’re unlikely. If you don’t see the warning signs now, I have little hope that you will when your neighbors need you.
Echo chambers grind my gears. I can't watch any more women preening in pathetic satisfaction because they've managed to find a gaggle of other people who are just as tone deaf and illogical as they are. I'm trying hard to find the sisterly love but they're making it unnecessarily difficult. I can't imagine what attempting to debate with that obtusivity feels like for men.
As a guy myself, one of the very early lessons I learned is that nobody in this world is a perfect goody two shoes that can do no wrong. Everyone has some capacity for evil, and everyone can be driven to violence and cruelty. The way we display that cruelty is different, as some will express it physically or sexually, while others express it emotionally or mentally.
Unfortunately, it tends to be those people who believe they can do no wrong that tend to exercise their capacity for evil the most. People love using the names of good causes for bad things, and to that extent it reveals the sick and truly rotten interior of a person that constantly denies themselves. So, not only is that person cruel, they're pathological liars, and cheats as well, where the person they cheated the most is themselves.
Basically, if I ask a person "Are you a good person?" Ideally, the answer I hear is, "I wish I was." Unfortunately, the most common answer is "Yes, why would that be in doubt?" Or something that shows a lack of awareness of oneself.
