Holy shit. Is the only thing they have to say about Kamala is to call her a slut? Fuck them. Weirdos and degenerates and freaks.
I’m reminded of some comedian joking about how weird of an insult slut is. “Oh so I get laid a lot? What next? Am I smart too?”
They love weird insults that only make sense to them. Like "cuck."
There are millions of conservative men that find this deeply insulting, they hear the word and every nerve in their body lights up at the very idea of cuckolding. They sling the insult at other men expecting it to connect the same way and become enraged when they are met with smirking and chuckling and quizzical expressions.
They invented this insult at about the same time that cuckold fetish porn was lighting up and trending hard. We don't need to do TOO much math here to connect the ends of this soggy, frayed rope.
As I've said elsewhere here, the root of fascism always has been and always will be about sexual insecurity and the combination fear/arousal dichotomy that deeply repressed men have about their kinks. They will allow the world to burn and millions of lives extinguished just to preserve the narrative that they're "normal" while at the same time beating off like wild animals to the fantasy of swarthy, masculine, dark-skinned gentleman having sex with their wives or girlfriends.
In the words of the greatest treatise on political philosophy of our time, Disco Elysium, the entirety of Fascism boils down to "putting women in their place."
Everything else is just garnish and dressing to get to this one, fundamental idea, which is "women are scary" and need to be controlled in some way.
They will burn the world down and spark world wars that take millions of lives just to commit to the bit, but really it was always about just a deep sense of personal, subjective sexual insecurity.
There's a reason why so many incels and their ilk online identify as nazis and fascists. They are the same movement.
Yeah. I know some of these types IRL. Can confirm they are terrified of their spouses and the anti-feminism rhetoric they spew when taking with the “boys” has devolved into straight up anti-women. It’s so bizarre to witness. I want my wife to call me on my bullshit. They see it as emasculating.
A mistake many men make before going into a serious relationship is they think avoiding conflict and avoiding arguments should be their goal for both finding a partner and sustaining a relationship with them.
The whole idea of committing to someone long-term is that you want to pick someone who can share your life, that means you need someone whom you feel safe enough with that you can talk about or argue about the most personal of topics. You can disagree with each other and still be safe. A good relationship lets you be vulnerable with someone else and gives you a place where you can both let down your masks and be honest, and this often takes the form of emotional efforts to understand each other.
But where we're at now is a rapid backslide from that ideal image of relationships. We have people retreating to social media and bubble-worlds online where you can get your every terrible idea validated and your every insecurity defended. Where if you don't like how someone makes you feel, you can just click them away or call for mods. With men in these spaces, their attitude about women who disagree with them is less than charitable, to say the least.
When you spend time in that kind of environment and then go into a relationship with another person, you won't have emotional growth, it will be worse than if you were just a blank-slate. These forums and sites create bad mental habits. In self-defense I taught people for many years "It takes five minutes to take on a bad habit, and five years to get rid of it."
We are sponges for ideas and feelings of others, if you fill that sponge with angry men lashing out at the world and ranting about their own fantasies and validations, you're not going to be ready to have a real, intimate connection with another person.
This perfectly describes a few of them. It started as off-color jokes. Now anything they disagree with or pushback is labeled as a psyop or similar and brushed away.
One friend’s partner pulled me aside and asked me to hang out with him more IRL. I didn’t understand why at first. Now I’m assuming it’s because the cracks are starting to show even with the mask.
I wish there was an easy way to turn it around. Seems like they’re too stubborn, brainwashed and or unwilling to confront anything at this point since like you said, their feelings are validated by popular and powerful people they look up to.
When you live in that kind of mentality, only shitty people hang out with you anymore, and shitty people tend to have shitty relationships if any, reinforcing each other's attitudes about women and relationships and forming larger and larger communities of like-minded individuals, and then BAM next thing you know Jordan Peterson becomes a best-selling author.
No, they have plenty of abusive things to say about her.
None of it true of course. And the stuff that is potentially true (she probably enjoys sex) feels like it's written by angry divorcees who don't get any
