I agree to an extent. It definitely does perpetuate certain stereotype, but I wonder if that stereotype is based in biology. Testosterone emboldens people to take more risk- guys will do some stupid stuff in the name of testosterone, but sometimes our risks are just so crazy that they actually work out. Estrogen can cultivate a more nurturing type of behavior. I'm still working through ideas, but I think it's probably okay that we create archetypes based on biological hormones- with the important caveat that we don't assume that being a man only entails having testosterone associated traits, and vice versa for women. Unfortunately, that's probably too much nuance for many who wish to just politicize the topic with hate. Oh, how I wish for peace and understanding.

Antifa definitely exists and it has a long history. But obviously conservatives don't understand history :/

Crassus did nothing wrong! /S

Dude, he could shoot someone in cold blood on 5th Avenue and people would still vote for him

In what regard? Considering that he's viewed as a male role model for many, I find it quite ironic that you would say he's not in a position to role model masculinity.

@rjcarter2904 Well I certainly don't have 40 years of psychiatric experience, but I would argue that testosterone definitely increases aggressive behavior, as most plainly exhibited by the side effect roid rage. Being masculine doesn't necessarily mean you're aggressive.... But showing too much aggression due to an inability to control the side effects of testosterone (whether exogenous or endogenous) is definitely a toxic trait. There's nothing inherently wrong with testosterone, in fact TRT can help improve people's quality of aging... But it definitely can have some side effects. I'm curious about your thoughts.

@ianwazowski5607 It is certainly not 'pro-toxic masculinity', nor is it 'anti-feminist' 🤦🏼 I'm sorry you have a problem with basic biology. The fact that you continue to demonize instead of trying to create understanding between biological sexes and stronger social bonds speaks volumes.

If taxes were volunteering the monetary system would be worth never little.... Not mention, the Articles Of Confederation failed twice.

Gender dysphoria can be a mental illness but it doesn't mean you shouldn't respect them as a human being. They're allowed to be a different gender. It doesn't affect you- grow up.

Vote Herschel! He won't raise your taxes, He doesn't like to raise anything.

@JR-pr8jb Everybody here wants Trump to get his comeuppance, but at this point his floundering is pure entertainment. His viability is gone, but we need to recognize that his viability was a symptom of something larger percolating in America: Christian nationalist fascism. Whether it's DeFascist or Kari "Trump Election Denial Playbook" Lake it is brewing. It doesn't just start with concentration camps, It starts with alienating minorities cheering on violent attacks at them, then legally discriminating against them, then moving them away to ghettos- and then comes the real persecution which everybody will deny because the authoritarians have already taken over the systems of information. It sounds like an alarmist slippery slope fallacy, but it's sadly not.

You like corporate sell outs? Look at who donates the most to his campaigns... Tell me whether you think he's going to have your interest at heart, or Big Tech and Big Banks?
1
The thing people should be lampooning Buttigiege over is sleeping 9 days before saying anything about the derailment.
1
@gaywizard2000 Wow. Are you trying to be basic? The response doesn't have to be as terrible as Trump for people to say it was inadequate. Pete Buttigiege missteps were more akin to negligence. But maybe you like negligent regulators 😂🤣 Have fun with your politicians that are bought out by corporate lobbyists but you're too afraid to criticize the Democratic Party for selling out.... Loser.
1
@gaywizard2000 lmao, then you dont get to talk about money in American politics. American politics is plutocratically distorted, but what do you know about American politics. Fkn Looney.
1
@gaywizard2000 Yeah, I'm not your average American in terms of political education, lmao. I've studied political science and economics for 10 years. And why do you think I agree with the Bush response to Katrina... 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Bush and Cheney were a catastrophe everywhere they went for all 8 years. Lol, Why did you bring up hurricane Katrina, sad but irrelevant? And why would you assume that I agree with the Bush response? So many questions.... So many facepalms🤦🏼 The fact that you can't acknowledge that money in politics is a huge corrupting force speaks volumes for how little you know. 'Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens', was published out of Princeton in 2014 by Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page, and since then other papers have come out collaborating their evidence that public policy is heavily distorted by elite interests. But I assume actual studies about political economy don't really pique your interest... You'd rather just make some stuff up about a country you don't even live in, lmao. Peace out, Looney Toon ✌️
1
@gaywizard2000 Why would you assume that I like Trump and Bush? Bro, I'm a registered independent 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼 I don't belong to any party
1
@gaywizard2000 I find it hilarious that you thought I was a Republican because I criticized Pete Buttigiege... You expect me to just tow the party line? Lmao. You should read some Orwell and understand why that's bad. I'm probably wayyy more leftist than you, bud. You love creating false dilemmas, don't you? Although our political landscape is a duopoly, the thoughts in our minds don't have to be- somebody can be critical of both Pete Buttigiege's response as well as Donald Trump's, for separate reasons. The fact that you can't handle a non-binary opinion speaks to your lack of qualifications to speak about American politics- you might know the politicians, but you don't know the political opinions of the American constituents and so you just happily stereotype every American as an overly simplistic binary archetype.
1
@gaywizard2000 If you love the noval 1984 You should know just how dangerous towing the party line is. I make no false equivalency between Republicans and Democrats, I'm way more left-wing than corporate Democrats but if that's the option I'm going to vote for them over fascists. I can vote for Democrats and criticize them.... It's called being a self-reflective adult who understands that sometimes bettering yourself requires critique 🤦🏼 There are some Democrats that emulate my views but not nearly enough and not in my districts. It's disappointing you don't understand how detrimental the plutocratic influence of money and politics has been- literally 70% of public policy doesn't coincide with public opinion. I don't know you- but hey, you assumed upon my political beliefs so why is it so rude to assume upon yours? 😂🤣 The irony! I'm a socialist who wants to abolish private property (capitalism) in favor of economic democracy through cooperatives, trade unions, community land trusts, credit Unions and public banks.... You're going to have to push the Overton window pretty far in order to be further left than I am- I only "arrogantly" bring it up because you arrogantly assumed that I was a Republican. I find the extreme contrast to be humorously ironic. I don't believe I ever started commenting at you- You interjected yourself here when you assumed upon my political beliefs, if you can't handle some clap back maybe you should step away from the screen, do some self-reflection, and really think on why I might retort in an assertive manner. I'm not mad, I just think it was a little rude to act like I support a fascist with literally no evidence. So I'm setting the record straight.

You got to give her credit for reaching across the aisle to get a handle on the hard issues, but in doing so she just vaporizes arguments against being Pro-Life. Admittedly, her behavior was a good snapshot of how flashy she is.
1
Wow, you're pretty ridiculous, just making up excuses for corporate corruption. You don't think there's anything wrong with how many big tech, big insurance, and big banks donate to his campaign?
1
You're clearly a classist who hates working people.
1
How many female mass shooters have there been? 🤦🏼 Dude, toxic masculinity definitely exists. Testosterone is a helluva drug, man- It makes you want to beat your chest like Matthew McConaughey. Testosterone as a hormone pushes us men to do amazing and crazy feats.... But it definitely can have negative side effects. Just look at roid rage. There's nothing inherently wrong with male traits, but there are aspects that can be taken to an unhealthy place- I speak as a male.

The only way to win is not to play, lol

Eh, there are some pretty pitiful attempts to prop up bad candidates just because they're going against the "other guy". The fact that they were telling us that Hillary was a good candidate for years, when so many people dislike Hillary 🤦🏼 I'm a leftist, but if you let yourself be objective, sometimes the left does some pretty silly things.
1
@monorail4252 Well there's your problem... Why was she selected? You realize that the DNC is corrupt and basically concluded that it was "her turn". There was definitely collusion between the DNC, CNN, her, and other Dem elites. I'm not worried about her in 2023, I'm using her as an example of past actions... 🤦🏼 dude, really. The fact that the Democrats chose such a terrible candidate and people weren't very enthused to vote for her Basically led to Trump being president..... So you can thank the DNC elites for beckoning and fascism because they want to hold on to power.
1
@monorail4252 see what .... There are a lot of things above your comment 🤦🏼 People who are vague but act like they're pointing out something obvious are just annoying.... Just say what you mean.
1
@monorail4252 Like I told you the way that they chose Hillary to be the candidate was very elitist and corrupt.... Donna Brazile and the other lady (with three names) are just two among many people that conspired to rig events in her favor. Just saying "well the DNC chose her so that's that" is not a good answer....
1
@monorail4252 Now you're just being ridiculous. So your argument is that Democrats don't bow to one single person.... Let just support whatever corrupt puppet the DNC supports 🤦🏼 lmao!

How is it BS? You understand chromosomes don't always come out neatly right?

Republicans: tough on crime until theyre the criminals. I'm still confused; did Trump declassify them with his mind or were the documents planted by the FBI???

Not all MAGA is mentally ill, only 99.67% of them are.

🇺🇸 Trump's a WINNER! 🇺🇸 So what if sometimes you have to lie to get ahead 🤷 He is a good businessman. I don't care if Trump scammed students out of a legitimate education, we shouldn't forgive those college loans 🦅 We have to save our country from the lying demon rats 👿🐀 🇺🇸 Trump 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028 🇺🇸 Make America Grift Again 🇺🇸👍 /S

Did you see how forcefully she shoved his hand into her bosom? I'm sure she would have been the one to try to get his finger wet, cuz that's the type of gal she is. Great date, bad Christian Nationalist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's essentially a different argument based around freedom of speech rather than freedom of religion, and it's probably going to have the same outcome.

You're far too sane to understand the hoops there conspiratorial minds jump through

@Deebz270 🤦🏼🤦🏼 Reckless consumerism is not the same as banning consumers speech on the platform. Jfc, way to miss the point... If it was a co-op itd also think about the environment more

American fascism is on the rise in Donald Trump is merely a symptom. DeSantis is also fascist, but with better PR.
1
@shreddez Eh, to a point. I won't say I'm poor, but I've there was definitely some financial insecurity in my younger years which instilled a need to save for the future. Investing has helped me feel less pressure from the threat of poverty- I'm currently able to take some time off for a disability. Marx and Engles funded their philosophical free time with investments. I guess my point is that there's a rational limit to marginal happiness money gives people and above that investment should go to undermining capitalist labor exploitation and ecological destruction. But who knows maybe I'll cynically be corrupted by capitalism and use the money to buy luxuries that satisfy my short-term dopamine rush.... I mean, I am just a dumb ape. We'll see how virtuous I can actually be, lol.

You mean the same Pete that didn't put Obama era railroad regulations back in place before Norfork Southern. Didn't Gavin Newsom just act like 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck is something to be proud of?? Are you liberals even progressive?

I'm not a fan of oil wars and giving giant bailouts to billionaires. Got to look at the whole picture. I'm not opposed to taxes but I wish instead of just adding taxes we'd really look at spending them better.
1
Lol. Basically how I came to democratic socialism. Im pro Liberty and I love Chomsky but both of those ideas are wacky. MLK, Orwell, and Einstein.... Those are some thinkers I can resonate with.

I actually had some extreme libertarian try to defend their tribal polycentric legal system.... Oof

Depends how you go about it. If within your message you call for violence or commit other types of crimes, then you can be prosecuted.

It's about her "family values".... She's literally said last year that the church should control the government- a clear violation of the First Amendment. She's not even fully divorced yet, does she think laws set by the church would allow this type of behavior? She's a grandma on now because her seventeen-year-old son impregnated a fifteen-year-old... The biblical crime would probably be the fact that it was out of wedlock (go firgure) but does she seriously think Church imposed laws would be a good thing? That's why it's so hypocritical; she's literally talking about violating the First Amendment to impose laws that even her family would be punished by... it's comically ridiculous.
