Conservatives have been talking about the feminization of men for a long time

never seriously, always from a detached and out of touch boomer grandpa perspective which nobody under the age of 50 could possibly take seriously.
that's one of the reasons why insane redpill/pua/incel types could get as big as they are now.

 

[The Ugly One]

And your single male acquaintances don't tell the girls to fuck off when they try to order to-go? I'd laugh in their face and leave. I've walked out on dates before and boy did that burn some asses.

When somebody's just outright fucking you over, I guess sometimes it doesn't register until it's too late. Or they order coffee and a muffin and just walk right out as soon as their order is up.

I had a lengthy discussion with a friend the other day and I finally pinned down why I'm not in favor of the Total Porn/Anime/Video Game Death/Ban stuff.

You want to know how we got 30 years of "Voting for Democrats is just the right thing to do"? It was stuff like that. Back in the 1970s, the Republicans were out of control with religious doctrines. It got to the point where the Overton Window hard shifted and by the 80s, everyone had just about had it with the Right. Stuff like attacking porn, attacking movies, attacking culture, and censoring things were viewed as violent or anti-Christian got so bad people started to despise the religious right. It got really easy for Democrats to exploit and seem like the party of "common sense" to people at the time. That's why even today, you see all the 50-60 year old crowd LOATHING the Republicans just like we hate the Democrats. The right came out at the time attacking things that seemed like nonsense to normies. Which is already happening today. You have lots of normies who see no issue with porn and video games and anime, who start to think the right are absolute lunatics for demanding bans on these things. Maybe you guys aren't old enough to have witnessed these Overton Window shifts and effects but I am. I still have plenty of people who kvetch to me about the Westboro Baptist Church even though they've been irrelevant for decades. They bitch at people like Joel Osment and other Megachurch pastors, and the concepts of Megachurch in general. You can't fix these people because they grew up in that world. However, I do remember them and I do not want to see MAGA die because douchebags like Matt Walsh get their way and send it hurdling into a ravine because they go all in on "TOTAL ANIMU DEATH". Too many people are still operating under Live and Let Live doctrine for these movements to be anything but detrimental in the long run.

In about 10 years time from now, I fully expect Gen Beta to have their Overton Window shift back left and I expect things like Texas's anime and porn bans to be cited to largely be responsible for it. The world just moves faster today and I think pushing too hard on the Overton Window shifts are going to accelerate the Neo-Conservatives fall. Especially since the party isn't stable or established yet beyond Trump. Like it or not, the normies are needed.

It does make me wonder when we are going to shift back to the video games are satanic days of culture. I’ve already seen a few special individuals start claiming that rock and roll is the devil again. People like Walsh remind me of a man out of time, his opinions on media are so far out of touch that it makes me wonder if he even likes anything.

Don Lemon suggests banning "white guys" from this country for national security

View attachment 7430566

Trump's superpower is to do very minor things that cause his opponents to go full mask off.

Here's Don Lemon literally screaming that yes, he -- and his party -- are racist against White People, and damned proud of it.

Now, they'll try next week to say this is impossible, they redefined racism such that you can't be racist against those damn dirty evil white devils, that as a black man (with a multi million dollar media deal) he has no power whatsoever compared to some homeless dementia ridden white oppressor living behind olive garden off scraps, therefore it's not racism because that's PREJUDICE plus POWER and he has no POWER, so he's just PREJUDICED against the evil white devils and WOULDN'T YOU BE? After all hating whitey is a GOOD THING and yadda yadda yadda.

But every time they have to go "no, stop, don't listen to that voice in your head that says we're full of shit, listen to us saying we aren't!" they lose a little more power and influence, permanently.

I'd say around 95% of the time I see some boomer on a podcast whining about how "men aren't masculine anymore" it's some obese, doughy, bald, butterball wifeguy with a gigantic beer belly who works a white collar desk job and the most masculine thing he's ever done in his life is go fishing once 35 years ago.

Take all that shit with an absolutely massive grain of salt.

Being a man is acting to accomplish a goal and obtain something at its basest essence, however good or horrible that goal or object is.

Anyone who expects blind obedience is clearly thinking of a woman or a robot.

It's idiotic to think that banning loli and trying to keep porn away from kids is the same thing as saying Pokemon is satanic. That said, Most of the people during the satanic panic were 100% right about the direction American culture was taking. Everyone called them insane but we are living in the exact future they said we would be living in. I'm not saying they were always in the right, from my personal experience a lot of them went way too far, but there was a lot of truth to the point a lot of them were making back then and we all know it.

Chris Cuomo says illegal aliens kiIIing American citizens like Laken Riley is an “artificial issue”

This level of blatant lying from this faggot makes me want to fedpost.

Lets just ignore the string of car accidents and fatalities cause by illegal pajeets and beaners who can't speak english or drive.
Lets forget about illegals setting American citizens on fire on the NYC subway.
Lets ignore all the rapes and crimes committed by illegals, the neighborhood takeovers and gang violence.

Start dumping illegals in this guys backyard and he will still claim its an artificial issue.

Fair but it is going to be funny to see how the hardcore gamergaters suddenly start attacking the right over the loli ban.

I've heard of women sitting through the date for a free meal, but ordering to-go is ballsy. Any guy who falls for that deserves it. I never took girls on a first date anywhere that charged more than $20 for an entrée. Some chicks called me cheap and I would say "yes, I am." Usually filtered them out pretty well. The trick is to not be desperate.

Although, back when I was dating, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of girls who went Dutch.

Charmed actor Antonio Sabato on being blacklisted for supporting Trump.

While I'm sure Hollywood conservatives do indeed face harsh backlash/get blacklisted for expressing their views (for example, that Star Wars actress fired from the Mandelorian) ...I thought Sabato Jr. specifically got blacklisted from Hollywood for saying Barack Obama should be sent to Guantanamo Bay for being a secret Muslim, circa 2008? Like, during a morning show interview - not even a Twitter shitpost (was Twitter even a thing in 2008?)

I cannot believe I am doing this, but Don Lemon is a known alcoholic and most of the insane shit he says is because he is tanked up all the time. It was to a point that CNN disciplined him multiple times for being drunk on air. That doesn't excuse what he says or does, but it's a major factor and he is not getting any work with major networks for a good reason. I hope that idiot gets a better sponsor.

These days it's a roll of the dice whether they'll get mad if you offer to pay, they'll get mad if you offer to go Dutch, or they'll get mad if you ask them how they'd prefer to handle the bill.

At least they tried disciplining him, unlike Pete Hegseth who immediately gave up sobriety once confirmed.

"You deserve to be used because you have a genuine desire to meet someone."

How about no. How about we stop fucking acting like smelly third world scamming jeet trash.

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

He talks about his struggles with alcohol publicly. That said, alcoholics talk and generally speaking you'd be surprised how many famous people you run into at meetings.

"You deserve to be used because you have a genuine desire to meet someone."

How about no. How about we stop fucking acting like smelly third world scamming jeet trash.

I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. I'm not condoning it but, at a certain point, a dude needs street smarts.

 

[David Floyd George]

If I had to deal with your ilk 24/7, I'd drink heavily, too. In any case, Hegseth is firmly following in the footsteps of US Grant. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

Indian nationalists are a special kind of arrogant.

Jeets in general are arrogant and overtly insecure.

It comes from their lack of manhood.

Christian jeets are pretty chill - at least the ones I've encountered so far.

Christian and Buddhist jeets are the only civilized ones.
