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

“The authoritarian practices required by fossil capital in the global south [and middle east] were often geographically separated from liberal forms of governance in the West. This made it possible for many… to remain ignorant of their complicity in fossil authoritarianism.”
"In the US post-war economy, fossil fuel systems functioned as the means to becoming a real man - if burning them entailed violence, this was constructed as an unfortunate side effect to be made invisible to privileged consumers. But fossil fuels have become a dead end, both for the planet and for the goal of middle-class jobs. In this context, burning fossil fuels can come to function as a knowingly violent experience, a reassertion of white masculine power on an unruly planet that is perceived to be increasingly in need of violent, authoritarian order."

Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection
As boys become men, they become distrustful, lose friendships, and feel isolated and alone.

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)More about this quote: wist.info/shakespeare-william/…

🧵 4/4 System Fix 3 & Conclusion
3. Naming-the-Feelings Protocol: If you can't name the emotion, you can't process it.
Action: Expand your emotional vocabulary beyond "fine" or "mad." Use terms like: frustrated, reflective, overwhelmed, grateful.
Fix: This builds a high-resolution emotional OS. When you process grief instead of just anger, you initiate the correct system repair process.
Final Thought: Restoring emotional capacity is the ultimate system upgrade!
It is not unmanly to feel—it is the deepest integrity. The strongest man has full emotional capacity.
What genuine emotion did the industrial system force you to label as "weak"?

"Today’s Republican Party is big on #manliness and masculine virtues. The #MAGA right in particular is forever obsessing over who is the biggest, the strongest, the most fearless among them.
This is why, watching President #Trump’s fight to keep a lid on the Epstein files, I have been struck, delighted even, that among the vanishingly few Republican lawmakers with the courage to defy him have been three fire-breathing #congresswomen: Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Nancy Mace of South Carolina."

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.#disinGenderous #men #masculine #masculinity #TransMasc #TransMan #Manly #Manliness #boy #boys #Guys #gender #gendering #MagicWandWishList

Bandcamp https://munecat.bandcamp.com/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.

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-storye.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.)#men #masculine #masculinity #TransMasc #TransMan #Manly #Manliness #boy #boys #Guys #gender #gendering #MagicWandWishList

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#boundaries #community #safety #negotiations #negotiating #allies #support #retreat #relationships #consistency #fragility #tips #lifeHacks #attitude #standing #resources #domination #violence #personalSafety #groupSafety #psychology #sociology #solutions #bullying #bullies #appeasement #containment #geoPolitics #politics #USPol #USPolitics #Europe #defense #defence #harassment #Ukraine #war #silentSunday #manliness #masculinity #patriarchy #enjoy #joy #solidarity #dappledLight #childhood #selfWorth #self #selfCare #trauma #abuse #family #mentalHealth #selfStudy #personal #intimate #positive #recall #care #domesticViolence #ThePromise #KeepThePromise #dispair #resentment #recoil #acceptation #anarchism #geoPolitics #Russia #Zelensky #NATO #stroll #hiking #hedges #hedge

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

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.#blameTheVictim #Hamas #Gaza #ongoingNakba #rapeCulture #adultSupremacy #manliness #EstelleSays #humor #humour #feminism #empathy #grievability #mentalHealth #family #adultDomination #adultism #maleSupremacy #adults #domesticViolence #patriarchy #whiteSupremacy

"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.”

"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."

"The unit is engaged in the same kind of AI work that the world’s biggest tech companies, like Google, Facebook and China’s Baidu are doing in a race to apply machine learning to such functions as self-driving cars, analysis of salespeople’s telephone pitches and cybersecurity — or to fight Israel’s next war more intelligently."
“I’ve always loved algorithms. I was already involved with them in high school and worked in the field. When I [was] drafted I wanted to combine the technology with a combat,” Maj. Sefi Cohen, 34, recalls.
The unit’s only female member left recently. so for the moment it’s an all-male team. Cohen says: “Everyone who’s here is the tops.”

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’.

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, ParisSourcing, notes: wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/7…

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)

Asking people to calm down protects privilege – and silences people who are hurting.

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.#blameTheVictim #Hamas #Gaza #ongoingNakba #rapeCulture #adultSupremacy #manliness #EstelleSays #humor #humour #feminism #empathy #grievability #mentalHealth #family #adultDomination #adultism #maleSupremacy #adults #domesticViolence #patriarchy #whiteSupremacy
