People learn to live in the closet.

I think some of them imagine themselves to be the protagonist of the world and will be elevated to the dictator’s best friend at some point. I’m basing this off having talked to an Iranian monarchist.

I’ve not commented on this yet, but I feel like giving my piece now. I hope other men will listen. As a cis male I think women feeling that a bear is safer to be around than a random man is justified. I’ve heard enough horror stories… And I’d say I have enough emotional intelligence to tell women have heard or even experienced far more. None of this is to say men can’t be treated the same, or that only men are perpetrators of violence, sexual or otherwise.

I had to unlesrn a lot of misogynistic beliefs, which involved getting over the self victimization of thinking misandry is at all comparable to misogyny, let alone equally bad.

Something men also fail to realize, I’ve noticed, is that patriarchy hurts them too, far more than feminism ever could. Patriarchy involves men reaching for an ideal version of themselves that doesn’t exist. Every man ever will have qualities the rest of society might consider feminine. It could be something like being gay, being sensitive like myself, or even something as simple as not liking the same things other men do… I’ve seen the kinds of people who end up at the top of patriarchal hierarchies, we all have. Strong men dictators or dictator wannabes like Trump or Putin are who I’m thinking of. These men are so insecure about their masculinity they artificially elevate it, and they may be worshipped by the masses who think one person can and will solve all their problems… but in the end it’s clear men elevated to this level are the most disgusting type of people, inside and out. Their place of power makes it so that when they fuck up, they receive no consequences. Others do instead.

In Iran where I grew up, I’d say patriarchy was stronger than here in North America, if such a thing can be measured as such. More than here, there the only emotions we were allowed to feel was: fear of our higher ups, anger towards those lower, and lust towards those lower but only kept secret. No compassion, empathy, etc. Nobody really believes the Islamic Republic’s propaganda, not even their supporters. But that doesn’t mean it has zero effect. Boys I grew up around were so quick to dismiss simple rules of consent as if it was nothing. Segregating men and women makes things extremely tense between them, to out it mildly. And that’s nor getting into how queer folk are affected.

I could go on endlessly about this, but I feel satisfied for now. I’ll wnd with saying that the men who are mad at women expressing how they feel, telling them they’re wrong should, instead, direct that anger at men who’d make them feel that way.

“The beatings will continue until morale improves!” vibes right there.

I agree, but I’d take it a step further and say the ultra rich are even worse than parasites. Parasites serve a purpose to the stability of their ecosystems. Billionaires just consume.

Are they the same person?

Remember, white people’s, especially ultra rich white people’s, comfort is far more important than the lives of minorities. /s

Give a company that much power and snd they’ll absolutely implement slavery.

The most oppressed class: conservatives.

Imagine thinking being a Biden fanboy is being antifascist at this point lmao

Way to miss the point! Your pseudoscience nonsense is exactly the sort of bullshit antivaxxers and antimaskers used about covid. And think hard about the other oart of my comment as well. What does it even mean to have a strong or weak immune system? That’s not how the immune system even works!

Ah fuck, I forgot to exercise my immune system. My fault I died of covid.

“God is punishing us cause of the gays!”

antisemitic terrorist supporters

Israel supporters?

Jk. I know what you mean, but I genuinely would argue that. Calling not supporting nationalism and an ethnostate antisemitic is the actual antisemitism. Oh and terrorism is only terrorism when brown people do it, so can’t argue with that part. /s

That aside… Your problem is there isn’t enough bots and propaganda on here compared to say reddit. I’d say that’s a good thing. Go back there if all you want is to circlejerk.

That’s partly what my novel is about. I’d list it, but I’ve changed my writing style to make it more accessible, and I plan to make a 2nd edition soon that hopefully my relatives can read. English isn’t their first language.

Realizing angels and God are evil is what made me come to the conclusion it’s all a lie and leave Islam.

You need to find your niche when it comes to writing. For example I write mythological science fantasy, and I can count on one hand the number of books I’ve come across that fit that specific genre. You might not be able to write as well as someone else in general, but you can write what you write about better than anyone else.

Nazism isn’t fascism is quite the take. I can’t tell if you’re a troll or just a pedant who goes about being pedantic wrong.

The most powerful man in the world doesn’t have the power to not support it. Not even “stop” it, just not support it??

Fascism has happened exactly once in modern history.

Blatantly false.
