Maybe the regressive desire for a fossil fuel society goes with an intuitive response to the complexity of our period.

Here is Cara Daggett’s feature article on the subject: https://autonomy.work/portfolio/petro-masculinity-climate-refusal/

Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection

As boys become men, they become distrustful, lose friendships, and feel isolated and alone.

A quotation from Shakespeare

MALCOLM: Be comforted.
   Let’s make us med’cines of our great revenge,
   To cure this deadly grief.
MACDUFF: He has no children. All my pretty ones?
   Did you say “all”? O hell-kite! All?
   What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
   At one fell swoop?
MALCOLM: Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF: I shall do so,
   But I must also feel it as a man.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Macbeth, Act 4, sc. 3, l. 252ff (4.3.252-261) (1606)

I would tell this man the nude beach is behind him and then when he turns around I would get a very good look at his penis

The monotheistic religions made it normal to squash people: "I think there is something really special about the Bible [...] which is precisely this idea that the revelation of truth comes through the suffering of the weak." (Matthieu Poupart)

Then the Renaissance made it easier to blame the victim: With modernity, "it is the person who takes no initiative who is seen as responsible for the emergence of sexual promiscuity." (Matthieu Poupart)

#nonce is two separate nouns:

Nonce (1) means: The one or single occasion; the present reason or purpose.
(Etymology 1 is inherited from Middle English nonse, nones.)

Nonce (2, in Britain and Ireland) means: A sex offender, especially one who perpetrates against children.
(Etymology 2 is dated 1975, in British criminal slang.) French equivalent: #pointeur

I'd group "Men's Rights Activists" as disinGenderous, from the word disingenuous.
It means doing an act to be *observed* doing it ('Activism' to center anti-misogyny on men's feelings), not its expected intent (upholding Men's human Rights).

I use MRAs to mean anyone using misogyny to sell shit, not "ACTUALLY trying to improve life for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story

e.g. The UK has a charity called Campaign Against Living Miserably focused on dudes' mental health. They're not MRAs.
Like 'scientology' could be useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, -- like historiography --- but instead just means a SciFi writer's post-death ponzi scheme.

Well this time I decided to investigate the Manosphere. The cult mentality of Red Pill think, how they monetise it, the narrative they are selling to their followers, and how this can result in some young men being funnelled into the alt-right pipeline.

I looked into influencers like Fresh and Fit, Kevin Samuels, Rich Cooper, Anthony Dream Johnson of the 21 Convention, Donovan Sharpe, Roosh V, Owen Cook and Julien Blanc to weave together how they are selling the ‘alpha male’ dream to their followers - some of whom will end up classing themselves as incels, after realising that the ‘foolproof’ pickup artist game techniques don’t work for them.

And they’re all having their misogynistic ideas backed up by the one and only Jordan B Peterson, of course.

ok I finally got around to finishing it. I'm just including the whole damn description cuz why tf not. https://nebula.tv/videos/munecat-i-debunked-the-entire-manosphere/

not relevant to this but I just thought of what to group "Men's Rights Activists" as:
disingenderous.
(MRAs here being "anyone using misogyny to sell shit", not "people who are ACTUALLY trying to make life less shit for men and masculine people". https://www.thecalmzone.net/our-story

e.g. In the UK, Campaign Against Living Miserably is a mental health charity focused on dudes. I wouldn't count them as MRAs.
A bit like how 'scientology' as a word could have been useful to describe the meta analysis of how we apply scientific methods more broadly, like historiography for history, but instead just means a SF writer's post-death ponzi scheme.)

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

The man who does nothing cuts the same sordid figure in the pages of history, whether he be cynic, or fop, or voluptuary. There is little use for the being whose tepid soul knows nothing of the great and generous emotion, of the high pride, the stern belief, the lofty enthusiasm, of the men who quell the storm and ride the thunder.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

When will the markets acknowledge the breakdown in the USA governance and the elevated risk of voluntary defaults across the spectrum of government obligations?

"If a young woman does not follow the social injunction to have feelings in a sexual relationship, she knows that she risks being called to order, being punished. Or to feel shame or guilt. This burden of the social norm is primarily internalised."

"There is, in all circles, the threatening 'spectre of the faggot'. The determination to appear as 'a man, a real man' and secure one's masculinity, while escaping suspicion of homosexuality, which is considered demeaning and dangerous. Some gay boys from privileged backgrounds have told me that they were in a relationship with a girl at school to give the impression, to cover their tracks."

"Though Trump is a small-timer at this point, Cohn (who’s surrounded on their first date by various mobsters) correctly identifies him as a dreamer determined to do whatever it takes to be Rockefeller-grade rich, as well as something of an empty vessel into which he can pour all his evil. Pour he does, gradually taking Trump under his wing and indoctrinating him in the ways of unabashed cutthroat nastiness.

"To succeed, Cohn instructs, Trump must follow three surefire rules: attack, attack, attack; deny everything and admit nothing; and never acknowledge defeat and always claim victory.”

Over many years: the fewer qualifications you have, the more you abstain or vote far right.
"The socio-demographic variable most predictive of the Rassemblement National vote - over a very long period of time, this is a very, very stable result - is the level of education."

Do you think we're stupid?

We know that Netanyahu is responsible for what his country does. You want to blame everyone but the guilty, though.

In Our Palestine Question, Geoffrey Levin shows how American Jewish critics of Israel were dislodged from Jewish institutions in the decades following the state’s formation. ‘The question of the Arab refugees is a moral issue which rises above diplomacy,’ William Zukerman, the editor of the Jewish Newsletter, wrote in 1950. ‘The land now called Israel belongs to the Arab Refugees no less than to any Israeli. They have lived on that soil and worked on it… for twelve hundred years… The fact that they fled in panic is no excuse for depriving them of their homes.’ Under Israeli pressure, Zukerman lost his job as a New York correspondent for the London-based Jewish Chronicle. Arthur Lourie, the Israeli consul general in New York, exulted in his firing: ‘a real MITZVAH’.

"At a talk in Brooklyn [in 1985, Primo] Levi, asked for his opinion on Middle East politics, started to say that ‘Israel was a mistake in historical terms.’ An uproar ensued, and the moderator had to halt the meeting."

"Palestine, as George Orwell pointed out in 1945, is a ‘colour issue’, and this is the way it was inevitably seen by Gandhi, who pleaded with Zionist leaders not to resort to terrorism against Arabs using Western arms".

If you show the value of a victim, you feel empathy. This increases the desire for equality but you feel bad: it endangers your health.

On the contrary, iIf you stress the mistake of a victim, you protect yourself: you feel like it should not happen to you. Society supports such detachment if the perpetrator is a white man or a police(wo)man.
Blaming the victim justifies inequality, discriminations, violence by the strongest. It normalizes (adult, white, male or cis) privileges. Therefore it normalizes patriarchy and white supremacy.
