“Just reaffirmed the need for economical populism to win electoral victories”
So basically a tucker Carlson-esque grift to lure the rubes in. So much for moving Magas to the left.
Also why are they angry at menslib again? It's usually pretty wholesome, inoffensive and non confrontational. It's also literally what some of these people pretended to be complaining about, "but why aren't feminists talking about men's issues?". Well there you fucking go, they are.
I assumed it was going to be some Redpill shit, but this all seems pretty wholesome and chill as Reddit subs go.
If you base your whole identity around conforming to society's idea of masculinity, it's quite destabilizing to see any critique of that. So the very idea is "deranged" and what we really need is more "paternalism"
Most likely they're referring to /r/MensLib, which is the subreddit for the Mens' Liberation movement. Essentially it's "Mens' Rights but not just fashy whataboutism".
There are some legitimate complaints about how discourse on /r/MensLib can tend towards self-flagellative virtue signaling despite aiming to be a male-positive space. It is, on the whole, however, Cool and Good. Most people who complain about it are just incapable of understanding that the basis of male oppression is in the same toxic-masculine and patriarchal social norms that harm women.
i do not understand this new trend of adding -oid to the end of everything they don't like
I've been irritated lately seeing more non-leftists using the term "leftoid" as if it's just a more insulting way of saying leftist, without realizing it makes it sound like they're attacking someone for not being leftist enough
Luckily it outs whoever said it as being way too extremely online to regard their opinions with any relevance to the real world. Also it's gotta be incels, right? Like when they call women "femoids"
Probably racists. There are some old racial terms that use that suffix
It's fascist. Seems to me like adding -oid to something goes back to race science and general fascist essentialism.
It echoes the language that was used to categorize groups of people as if they were a "race" or had some innate/biological part that made them that way. the suffix -oid implies a resemblance to something that came before (so there is some sense of heredity or something genetic/biological), but it's an incomplete or degenerated resemblance, words with this kind of suffix seem to be an even more insulting way of describing a person or group : implying they are part of an essentialised stereotypical group that's degenerating and is inferior.
Given a lot of the Edgelord diaspora tracks back to 4chan at some point it’s probably from “femoid” being used to disparage women and then they just appropriated it for other groups
Nah I've definitely seen them 100% move dudebro's economically, at least, left. There is just a demographic of people that want to be shitty edgelords. It's an audience of people we can't reach.
sees chuds organizing a big better capitol storm with real targets and organization
Wait, was this actually happening?
On the one hand, these groups have been borderline-hilariously incompetent thus far. On the other hand, it wouldn't take that much to cause serious chaos. I guess we'll see how this plays out.
I continue to hope the /stupidpol people know they are absolutely not welcome here
stupidpol is unrepentant chanlords whove discovered getting NEETbux through UBI is technically a "left" position
lol imagine browsing through a subreddit you hate, reading through a bunch of posts and comments and cherry-picking one of the dumbest ones to wrap up into a weird narrative.
"Why do you keep hitting yourself?!"
Feel free to link the thread next time, where most of the answers breed optimism.
They did a survey a couple months ago and a majority reported moving to the right on social issues.
everyone found to be browsing stupidpol unironically would face the wall
"from a paternalistic right point of view"
Almost like a burden of some kind, if you will
