was discussing this with a friend of mine (she’s an anarchist but she actually organizes and shit). she was saying there can be no such thing as revolutionary masculinity because the two things are contradictory. but i’m a marxist so contradictions really butter my bread.

i think in a utopian, communist world gender identity would be completely different, to the point where it might not even be legible to us today, but my question is more about how we get from here to there. basically, can we men find a way to not be shitheads in such a way as to bring about communism, or does that not even make sense

feel free to dunk on me if this is a dumb question

    When they find scum like Tate they think they found the bible, not because they understand the ideology, but just because he’s contrarian and is talking about things relevant to teenage boys.

    It’s important to understand that these boys are genuinely looking for an instruction manual too. They want to know how to be “alpha”, they want to know how to get girls, and they want to know how to be the genius like some protag from their favourite anime. They’re looking for instruction manuals and they find these people who promise to be them. It’s exactly how pua took off in the first place and this entire sphere of online influence began with that.
