      Radicalisation on one side always leads to radicalisation on the other, ending up with both sides using the other’s ridiculous fringe ideas as justification for their own.

          There definitely was.

          Cyberbullying german girls because the german word “digga” sounds similar to “nigger” and unironically advocating that germans shouldn’t use words that sound similar to slurs in english because “they should be responsible and avoid hurting others”.

          Or tankies simping for the mass murder of “anti-revolutionaries” in the USSR or the PRC

      By grifters you mean the only people willing to say that it’s okay for men to be men? Gee, I wonder why young men go to them rather than the ones telling them to man down.

          Don’t act as if I said somethig I didn’t only because it’s then easier to argue against.

            The shark was harassing her.

            She said stop in animal language.

            If you are personalizing this: you are the problem. You are not a victim.

        No. We mean people like andrew tate. These guys aren’t men, They’re assholes. They don’t teach you how to be “men”, they teach you how to be assholes.

        No real man thinks he’s “high-value” and definitely doesn’t think women are worth less or deserve to be treated like shit.

        That’s not real men, that’s assholes.

        And yes, I’m gatekeeping the term “Man”.

          I’m not defending Andrew Tate here. My point is that when there is nobody else for these young men to look up to then they go to the only ones available.

          Name one good male role model you approve of.
