      Many young men who can’t find a partner are getting radicalized by the manosphere.

      Women are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

        I don’t get your logic. You’re saying he would be a nice person if he got some? In my experience all that does is justify all their toxic masculinity because it finally worked and now they have a partner.

          Nope. Completely missing the point here.

          This comment isn’t criticizing women’s dating preferences, it’s criticizing the criticism on women’s dating preferences.

          People blame women for not dating moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and further funnelling them into the alt right pipeline.

          People blame women for dating conservative men which affirms their political views.

          It doesn’t matter if women date conservatives men or not, someone will find a way to point fingers.

            Then you need to work on your communication skills because what you said was “their damned if they do, and damned if they don’t”.

            Your inability to articulate yourself correctly does not constitute a problem on our part. Your edit is petty all you have to do was clearly explain yourself but instead you went on a rent about how everyone isn’t psychic.

        Just to clarify, are you blaming women for not having sex with these men?

        The solution involves good healthcare, education, social safety, and respect. Men with no jobs, no role models, entitlement (particularly to relationships and/or sex), no apparent future, and bad mental health support are a recipe for disaster.

        I should know as I used to tick a number of those boxes. I think, had I been younger when YouTube and stuff came around, I’d have fallen prey to far right conspiricies

          Nope. You’ve got it the other way around. I’m blaming people for criticizing women’s dating preferences no matter if they date conservatives or not.

          People blame women for refusing to date moderate to conservative men, hurting their egos, and funnelling them further into the alt-right pipeline.

          People blame women for dating conservative men and affirming their conservative views.

          It doesn’t matter what political preferences women have, there is just no winning here.

        like, it doesn’t work that way. there should be a social contract saying “people take care of each other, that’s how society works”.

        i get that you’re saying women shouldn’t despise men just for being men (and i could agree to that), but that doesn’t mean they have to accept any kind of bullshit. it’s good to stand against the right-wing sociopathy and reject relationships with these people. because ultimately, these people don’t take care of you either. right-wingers are often against basic human needs.

    Musk has been a fraud since day 1, I can’t believe it took him fully becoming a full oligarch for everyone to hop off his dick.

      Can’t speak for others but from here it seemed like he was pushing the electric car market forward when the bigs weren’t risking it which was a good step forward.

        Electric cars are not the savior we all want them to be anyways. The dudes just a conman. People are right for being shocked he scammed people over and over for years and kept getting more and more success for it. It shouldnt work that way, but apparently americas premier product is the conman given how much money they are worth to others.

        Tesla existed before Musk btw. He just came in and put his name on it, and manipulated the stock by having it appraised as a tech stock and not a car one. Oh and just selling “carbon credits” to other car companies so they can keep making polluters. Tesla would be bigger and more advanced without his influence, especially the toxic work culture he enforced.

          Yeah I know all of that now just trying to show why I was fine with him at first. Before he deserved a second look. It’s not like I venerated him or anything. I just had no issues with him until the cave incident.

      He was much less vocal in the past, back when SpaceX and Tesla were getting big. He barely HAD any amount of public persona, so people just associated him with the cool tech that the companies were doing. That was also before he started taking direct control over technical decisions, so the tech they were outti g out was actually pretty cool.

      Something around… like 8 years ago?.. made him lose his good sense for keeping his mouth shut. Obvious bet would be the ketamine.

    I feel like this is a 1000 IQ move if you’re a fuckboi.

    Put these pictures up. Girl comes over. She’s already planning on hooking up, so she’ll be inclined to not immediately bail. If she looks uncomfortable, claim that you put those posters up before Elon went insane, and just haven’t gotten around to taking them down. The picture of Elon is older and the Jobs poster is 2015-coded, so that will be enough of an excuse for the vast majority of people who already have other things on their mind.

    After the deed is done, be respectful. However at the same time drop some phrases that are conservative-coded, but still with plausible deniability. Something about fraud in Ukraine, referring to being non-binary as a “lifestyle choice” that you “personally respect”, mention the upcoming stablecoin legislation, etc.

    Girl leaves, weirded out but not immediately fearful. A day later, text her. Say that you had a great time, but you sensed there was a bit of a disconnect. Tell her that you could go either way, but the ball was in her court. If she brings up politics, say something like “I’m an independent, I respect everyone’s beliefs, and while I respect your perspective I don’t plan on changing myself for you”.

    Maybe she declines, maybe she ghosts you. It doesn’t matter, the point is that you don’t have to deal with her, and that feeling is mutual.

    Same result as a hookup and ghosting, but enough plausible deniability that your name won’t go up on social media

    Is that Tesla on the left? Next to Elon of all people? Or am I misremembering faces and that’s like Ford? That would make more sense

    I mean … You got the nazi pictures, you got the conditiin of the bed, those are red flags for a relationship for sure.

    A more immediate threat to your life,spending time in the bed, would be the wall plug next to the pillow. The way I spend night in a bed, this wouls be a fire hazard.

    Edit: several people are earning themselves Nazi sympathizer tags ITT.
