      also I think this reenforces really bad elements of our culture (i.e. this seems like an expression of toxic masculinity to me not that I have engaged in literature on this)

        For me, reactionaries facing divorce will always be funny.

        Like, look at what happened to Musk post-divorce.

          Yeah, I get that part. I just have been thinking more about the whole "world's most divorced man" formula and divorce jokes lately. I've had two friends go through divorces recently and have been trying to be more aware of how people talk about it and what message these jokes are sending.

            For normal people, divorce is a tragedy.

            For billionaires and fascists, divorce is a farce.

            which is what? "don't be a misogynist reactionary mra weirdo?"

              I guess what I'm saying is that this is the "civility" approach to the same worldview as mra weirdos

        Yeah, it seems like there's an incredible amount of horny energy related to this. "I want them to get a divorce so I can have a chance with her" seems to be almost universally the motivating factor for all of this.

          The hornyposting is pretty blatant in the first tweet for this one, but I see a lot of this basically tying a person's worth to the continuation of a relationship. No interest is paid to the quality or health of the relationship (not that that would be better from rando posters for public figures) which basically just leaves the whole thing leaning into women as trophies. I don't think it's the intent per se, I just think it's implicit in the mockery.

          ??? No? It's always funny when conservatives get divorced, it's pretty common and its good every time.

          And let's be real, anyone foolish enough to voice these thoughts out loud is never "getting a chance" with anyone. Women can sense this kind of stuff from a mile away.

        Seriously tho i dont think that possible, steam accounts are not assets, in the T&C, steam games are just lifetime loans basically, you cant pass it down as part of an inheritance and you cant transfer it to anyone else officially

    The fact he was even able to marry her shows how strong white worship is for older generations. She's allegedly a big Lula supporter while married to this right-wing loser.

      To be fair, maybe he changed over the years. He did have a life altering stroke. It's more common than you think for people to change in terms of personality, life goals, political and moral beliefs, various other ways after these kinds of things. Weather it be a stroke, a major operation, or health scare.

      I have certainly changed after major health issues.

        I had a major health issue shortly after becoming an anarchist and it just made me more of an anarchist.
