I think an important thing to understand about brofluencer ideology is that they do not just deny that being toxic and shitty makes you a less appealing partner, they insist that women are only genuinely attracted to toxic and shitty men and being kind will instead make women lose respect for you.
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore

so many of these people thought they could ride the counter-woke tide without acknowledging the reality of the new era of politics we find ourselves in
"but i was a based heterodox thinker" seems to be the rallying cry of the reactionary centre when encountering actual Schmittian politics

the thing about Bill Kristol is that he believed in everything he said and the reason he's a lib now is that he realized almost no one on his side felt the same
If the Sep. 2 boat really had "narco-terrorists" on board, questioning the survivors would have been a way to learn about how the organization worked, where more drugs were stashed, etc. But this isn't a counter-terrorism campaign. It's a shooting gallery with helpless targets.

The fact that most of the time I hear American leftists talking about Fred Hampton, they talk about how the black panthers weren't really that important to the rainbow coalition and that appealing to a broad base is more important is the greatest evidence that Americans as a whole are evil.

Interpreting the 14A as narrowly as possible—as SCOTUS has done recently in Dobbs & Trump v. Anderson—aligns neatly with the larger GOP goal of destroying the New Deal state & reviving the overtly white nationalist apartheid regime of the Jim Crow era.
There has been no debate here among constitutional scholars, historians, political scientists, anyone with a pulse really.
Any telling you that this very straightforward point, one that has been universally accepted for a century and a half, is now an "abstruse" issue is just a liar and a hack.

Anyone who knows this history should know there’s no contested issue.

White Americans think that Ronald Reagan was the greatest President ever and it explains a lot about the past 40 years. Black people didn’t vote for him either.

Frank Sinatra almost got into a fist fight with Bing Crosby on the set of High Society to defend the dignity of Louis Armstrong, who was added to the production due to Sinatra’s advocacy. It’s not hard to find PSAs for tolerance that Sinatra filmed!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

What does he mean he “approved”? American carmakers have NEVER been prevented from making small cars. They just didn’t want to. Big ones are more profitable here.
