      The money is there, I just don't know why Soros insists on only paying people in v-bucks. I use Linux, I can't even play Fortnite.

    If this is a literal type of “dirtbag leftist” then liberals will handwring over every little thing like they did with Bernie and Chapo back in the day.

    Or you get NATO-leftists like Vaush thinking they’re some kind of Chad because their voice is deeper and they use slurs.

    Or you get people like Destiny who claim to be “on the left” while being as vile and unlikeable as possible.

    The popular image of leftist men being weak, effeminate, and easily offended is very popular with young men and even people who defy that image like Hasan Piker still get stereotyped that way.

    What this topic inevitably boils down to is what the western left can do to foster and build a healthy form of masculinity that is appealing to the larger audience, not necessarily build itself its own Joe Rogaine.

      We don’t have to build shit. There are masculine, cool leftists. There have always been masculine, cool leftists. The problem isn’t that there’s some heretofore undiscovered way of being for men and teenaged boys, it’s that all leftist figures are rejected by democrats and their supporters, and so all they have to choose from are corporate, intellectually dishonest careerists who have no hope of masking how fucking square they are for any sustained amount of time.
