  • I feel like external pressure is only half the problem. It is important but IMO the role model is also a problem. Non toxic masculinity is often describe in the negative of the toxic masculinity : you’re good when you are not toxic, not when you are something positive.

    In some way it is less restrictive, but in other way it is missing the model.

    The other side of this coin is the corruption of the ideal that lead to nihilism. Toxic masculinity corrupts ideals. Violence is strength. Protecting is necessarily the destruction of the threat. Independence is power. Smart is manipulation and deception. Everything is to be seen through a lens of domination and power. And that is the core of the problem.

    Instead, a model is to be seen with any quality, but through another lens. Strength can help the weak. Smart can disarm an explosive situation. Power is to be shared and used wisely. Basically, a model opposite to the toxic masculinity can be many things with all the qualities of the virility, but the difference is that they will be used and targeted differently. And for many people, it is to be learnt through a model.

    This is a core problem because for many people, if you tell them to drop the toxic behaviour, there will be nothing left to aim for, nothing for them to transform into.

    And this goes back to the social validation you’re talking about. Going from toxic to positive requires a transformation so that the qualities someone has can be positive instead of negative, but as qualities they can still be praised and admired.




  • Je te rejoins jusqu’à la fin, sur le sujet du terrorisme. Je refuserais de parler de terrorisme aussi, sauf à une condition : que tous les moralisateurs pro-israéliens appelle également Netanyahou un terroriste.

    Le problème sous jacent, c’est que le terme de terroriste n’est utilisé que pour deux types de crimes : les crimes commis par des islamistes, et ceux commis par des gauchistes.

    A partir de là, le terme n’a plus aucune légitimité. Crimes de guerre par contre souligne le fait que c’est une guerre qui se joue, et qu’ Israël n’est pas innocent. Mais c’est bien la le problème : si Israël n’est pas innocent, le massacre des arabes de Palestine ne se justifie plus.

    Et c’est bien là la clef du problème pour la droite : il faut enfoncer l’idée que les arabes sont tous des terroristes ou qu’ils soutiennent le terrorisme, comme ça on peut légitimement les persécuter.

    C’est encore un double standard en passant : on est antisémite sans faire exprès parce qu’on a dit un mot de travers sans savoir sur un sujet sans rapport, mais de l’autre côté, soutenir des arabes c’est soutenir le terrorisme et y a aucun problème pour dire ça sur toutes les chaînes.



  • Ton premier exemple est encore une fois un amalgame : accuser ou insulter une personne juive n’est pas une preuve d’antisémitisme. L’extrait ne permet pas dire que la remarque est antisémite.

    Pour le second, j’aimerais bien connaître le contexte, parce que lire mélenchon qui parle de religion, c’est tout à fait surréaliste.

    Après, outre la diffamation évidente conte lfi récemment, je trouve ça absolument dingue à quel point les médias se découvrent une passion pour la lutte contre le racisme, mais qu’ils ne parlent absolument pas de tous les racismes qui ne sont pas de l’antisémitisme. Pour moi, c’est une preuve assez évidente de propagande politique pour décrédibiliser lfi et, en négatif, dédiaboliser le RN.


  • C’est véritablement abusif de parler de dérapage en fait. Tous les exemples donnés le sont dans le contexte de la guerre en Palestine. Et tout les impliquent que si on ne soutient pas inconditionnellement le facho au pouvoir en Israël, alors on est antisémite.

    C’est absolument n’importe quoi. C’est purement de la chasse aux sorcières. Certaines organisations juives participent littéralement à la dérive fasciste du pays là. On va probablement me traiter d’antisémitisme pour ça, mais quand la liberté d’expression et les opposants politiques sont menacés au nom de la lutte contre l’antisémitisme, c’est une dérive gravissime.

    Hey France has a lesson for you: 2 years ago the liberals called the left to vote for them in order to prevent the far right from getting elected.

    For 2 years the liberals governed with the leaning to far right - right. The far right applauded many of their policies.

    This Sunday the far right went first in the European election, because the left was a bunch of clowns and everyone hates the liberal government.

    1h after the results, the Liberal president Macron disbanded the parliament. Now there are 3 weeks to elect a new parliament. He also opted for a vote that favors the biggest, so the far right is favoured, and there’s no time for a campaign and barely enough time for the left to unite. The president is also still saying on TV that the left is just as bad and as extreme as the far right.

    We didn’t see it coming, but the liberal who pretended he would fight the far right is the first accelerationist in France. It is chaos right now, and the far right has never been so close from being in power in France since 1944. The 5th Republic is almost a presidential regime btw, so if the far right has the power, it’ll be very dirty.

    Trust the liberals they said, it’s better than the far right…




  • I would like for Russia to fail miserably, but HERE I’m afraid it’s not as stupid as it could. Ukraine is notoriously low on ammunitions, so extending the active front line can deplete those supplies faster. I would expect Russia to try to deplete those supplies in order to force the front line where a shortage appears first. And they need to do it before the supplies come from the US, which is already starting to come. So it’s basically a window of opportunity.

    If they concentrated on one place only, the Ukrainian supplies would last much longer.

    I expect the massive Russian offensive to slow down in June once the US supply lines are established again.

    But maybe I’m wrong. If Russia continues to push hard like this through June and after, I’ll be wrong. Unless they try to really push through western supplies themselves. That would be insane but possible I guess.
