  • All people at least sympathetic to the thrust of woke/DEI stuff should proudly tout it and own it by name. The left and liberals have a terrible fear of seeming cringe that keeps them from being unyielding and unironic in championing what they supposedly support, lest they are accused of "identity politics" and virtue signaling--allowing a new wave of dogwhistles to rise, bigots to run amok spreading their hatred.

  • Yeah but so were the people who presumed they were saving random people from going to hell, so it was a good counterbalance. I don't think all people can be reasoned with, some people have to be cowed by getting "owned" to refrain from loudly espousing a toxic belief, so Reddit atheists' smugness and vitriol was a good way to shame annoying religious people out of proselytizing too much.

  • The first step is teaching them to want something realistic, informed by what they feel deep down, and not dehumanizing so they can actually "wear it on their sleeve" when approaching a woman rather than feeling like it's a secret shame they have to insidiously spring on the woman at the moment her guard is down.

  • The guy he's writing this for would do well to just attend a few social events at the local library first, there's no way he'd have the outdoors, offline comfort and social skills yet for a real road trip across towns he's never been to with completely different cultures.

  • I am not a short king but I am a straight cis Asian guy, and this at least somewhat true and I did not know it until I did serious work on myself and actually pinpointed the behaviors of mine that were clearly my insecurity and desperation to be liked seeping out (speaking in generalities to myself and others, name-dropping stuff I thought would make me cool, reacting by matching my tone and enthusiasm to that of the person speaking to me rather than giving a more organic response that's less of a departure from what I felt deep down.)

    A lot of these short guys, like Asian incels, bond over insecure feelings and observations they independently arrived at due to them being the first level thoughts of any guy who's unlucky romantically due to having a stereotypically negative trait. They believe these feelings and observations are them getting a peek at an unlocked well of truth, rather than equally resigned quitters validating one another's ideas borne out of self loathing and the need to have a mentally placative answer for indecipherable and unpredictable social dynamics.

    Just like how, when an Asian incels sees an Asian guy being confident with girls they auto-assume that guy was adopted by whites/had Americanized parents/is gay, then tell each other that as if it's a shared universal rule, bitter short guys will see some short guy who dates women taller and hotter than him and tell each other that the guy must be rich/famous/large penised/ex military.

    These kinds of online social groups/subreddits are literally anti-achievement and self-growth. The more their shared lore is outspun to try to comprehensively and objectively catalog the hard and fast rules of a nebulous and volatile reality, the more detached from normalcy they become and the further they are away from having dating success or even natural human interactions.

  • Thing is, I don't think anybody who reads this, which is from one of those right wing accounts harvesting grievances about modern women, is actually going to do this. This is just a nice little movie the reader can play in their head or a salve-daydream they escape into in moments of loneliness before returning to porn addiction, a hamster wheel job, or NEETdom.

  • Yeah that or it becoming like some Asian countries where one parent in a married couple goes to the city for huge portions of the year to work as a nanny, etc. and send money back. Either could at least make it harder for people in those towns to believe the cities are always on fire and running amok with armed robbers.

  • Call me authoritarian for this, but this is what happens when we respect everyone's opinions instead of shaming and belittling those who are proudly stupid, dogmatic, and cruel. The Reddit atheists were on to something.

  • The thing is, even if this was a viable message, just saying "We're the serious ones" outright will not resonate popularly and will instead just make his party seem like they are dripping with condescension. Why not just say their party once elected a dead pig shagger? It's way more effective at making those who are politically neutral and non-smug view conservatives as the outgroup, rather than feel that they themselves are being cast into an outgroup.

    Have Labour learned nothing from Democrats and their abject failure larping as "the mature and honorable" party in 2004 and 2016? No voters want that shit deep down! Labour is defaulting to the worst liberal inclinations, it's only a matter of time before Starmer tries a zinger on Tory and Reform supporters and calls them "a wickerbasket of behavioral outliers," prompting all the hogs there to put that in their Twitter names.

    It's so cringe to watch another liberal party just fall on its ass in such a predictable fashion, starting from when they sidelined and defamed Corbyn to show the public that they are a party which rejects extremists and populists, you know, unlike the Tories. The Tories know "extremists and populists" are a political asset, you just helped them by shivving yourself in the taint, and now you're expecting them to show you respect and go, "thank you, now we are dutifully bound to do the same and equally electorally disadvantage ourselves."
