The Conversation: Looksmaxxing isn’t just a TikTok trend – it often reflects severe body image issues in teen boys and young men. “Much of the media coverage of looksmaxxing has focused on cultural dimensions, such as the misogynist ideology underlying this trend and its implications for cultural conversations about masculinity.

Why is the right so fixated with #antifa ?

Because punching nazis is the perfect que for attracting #youngmen to the side of the #left.

Because the right would prefer to keep all the young male physical "get shit done" energy to their side.

They know that it's a problem if the left has a place for all that energy from young males.

We don't have unions fighting white guards, there's not much place in left politics for that, but youth are still the same!

Antifa is the place for that energy.

"And maybe queer people can show how. After all, the gay archetype encompasses more than just stereotypical titans of industry and hunky Adonises; it includes so many of society’s pivotal artists and writers and thinkers. Alienation doesn’t only spur people to conquer the system that alienated them. It can instead provoke a quest to creatively redefine success on one’s own terms."

"The irony is that a minority once viewed as filled with sissies and losers is now portrayed as filled with bullies and power brokers, and straight people, especially men, seem to perceive themselves as the weak and afraid ones. …

Maybe, as the cartoonish machismo of Trumpism proves its hollowness, America’s latent resentment can be channeled to better ends."
