Basically yes. They speak some of the language of marxism, but anyone who has more than a passing knowledge of any marxist thought will quickly figure out that what calls itself "the left" in America are fully compatible with neoliberalism. Though occasionally you get the confused types who believe that socialism = government doing things, therefore communism = government doing a lot of things.

Yeah its just that in the mainstream left, which claims to be socialist and communist respectfully, these struggles in their view are caused by men and "the patriarchy". This has been an issue since the 1960s "new left" became ascendant with the help of the CIA. The new left aren't communists or socialists in the conventional sense and they aren't really interested in any of the things which created the New Deal Coalition (ie labor rights), they're a way of diverting revolutionary energy back in…

Don't confuse the bastardized vision of "social justice" that the mainstream left promotes with communism. Communism is built on an understanding of the common people's material conditions and the inevitable class struggle that must follow.

This dovetails rather closely with a poll from a year ago finding that young progressive men had a much lower opinion of feminism than older conservative men. Seeing results like this just confirms why.

Concluding people on average are different is not conservative. Neither is concluding the sexes on average are. No, but this line of reasoning is used to justify conservative policy decisions and it is foolish to pretend otherwise when we already know racists do this to justify their own bad policies. It also doesn't help when information presented as "science" is of such poor quality that it comes across as being little more than trying to establish consensus for a conservative ideology. I've s…

Look into the education gap. I don't have the literature on hand, but it was found that teachers tend to rate boys' schoolwork lower than girls' for the same level of effort. That has deleterious effects on young mens' futures in multiple ways, but it tends to get written off as no big deal.

The political left in America are, in the end, just bog standard idpol liberals who want a different kind of capitalism than what we have now. And that is why they continue to fail; you cannot fix the problems of late stage capitalism with more capitalism, let alone idpol scolding. If you want to reach men from a left-leaning perspective, start by reading something like State and Revolution.

Men on average are bigger and stronger than women And? We aren't werewolves bro. You and I might know we aren’t that kind of guy, but women have no way to know that about a stranger. It’s not totally fair but that’s life. Funny, when you apply that same logic to Muslims it rightfully gets called racist. But it's okay to do this to all men? Even though the majority of men won't harm you?

I would love to see a star wars movie that focused on something other than the Skywalkers, but it has to be done by a talented writing staff. Rey could have been so much better left in the hands of better writers who weren't making a Frankenstein version of the classic trilogy.

I didn't vote for Democrats and haven't for years. My reasoning is the Democrats aren't that much different from Republicans when it comes to screwing the working class. Democrats just dress up their policies in fluffy language that sounds inclusive at face value but is still quite elitist. Meanwhile the GOP is full of theocratic loonies who would endanger my family's safety. If there was an ML on the ballot I might actually vote.

Boys are more likely to think that school is a "waste of time" and are heavily pressured into doing traditionally masculine jobs (e.g. trades). It's more like boys learn early on that their educational needs are not prioritized by K-12 education. The fact that female teachers routinely rank boys' work lower than girls' for the exact same effort is evidence of this. As a result boys are generally more disruptive and less likely to pay attention. Working hard and doing homework to a high standard …

Most self-styled progressives I have spoken with aren't really opposed to the awful side of American imperial power. They just want the veneer of doing good while keeping the status quo. That's why they won't criticize AOC or the rest of the squad when they support counterrevolutionary activities, and it's why Steinham gets a pass in painting the CIA as a force for good despite supporting far right dictatorships.

She did a few performative acts (like that picture of her doing the power fist) and says the right things, so she gets to be completely forgiven for being a contractor to the world's most prolific purveyor of violence against women in the developing world. Meanwhile Louis CK tells some off-color jokes and the same "leftists" declare him to be damnatio memoriae.

Lmao ooookkkaaayyyyy. Inbreeding doesn't just cause retardation. It also is strongly associated with violent miscarriages (the kind that can be fatal) and infertility in the offspring that make it.

In a society of that size you cannot afford to mothball half of your labor force and expect to survive. Hell, even when you start to see gender roles emerge, you still see all able-bodied adults out in the fields when they arent doing anything else. The only people who can afford to isolate women "for their protection" are the elites who are rich enough that they don't have to work to feed themselves.

You would still have the same problem. Once you account for the realities of any community (many of those people are already related, some are gay, some are infertile, etc), having a gender imbalance that severe will not let your tribe bounce back. You will inevitably have half-siblings pairings, assuming there are none of the well-known sociological controls designed to stop this from happening. Inbreeding between 1st cousins is already lethal to a community. What makes you think inbreeding bet…

It absolutely is a conservative push.

Expand more on the "having worth in society" if you can They're referring to a couple of tropes. 1) A man is valuable in proportion to what he provides to others, ie a man earning 6 figures is viewed as more valuable than a man working in retail because the former can provide more resources to someone, usually a female partner.

A relevant passage Steinem defended the CIA relationship, saying: "In my experience The Agency was completely different from its image; it was liberal, nonviolent and honorable." I'm sure that the civilians the CIA tortured at Guantanamo Bay or murdered via death squads in Afghanistan and Nicaragua are glad to know that the spooks were "liberal, nonviolent, and honorable."

Saying art is useless to society is a statement nobody here made. That's pretty close to what what he implied about the humanities. But art degrees are a waste of education. You're free to stop consuming just about anything that isn't food (and probably most of that too). Art majors make selling that shit possible, not to mention no entertainment media is possible without them. No truly important artist that ever changed the world did it from the backing of their art degree lol You could say the…

I think this comes from not being exposed to any serious danger. For all the talk about how afraid of the dark these people say they are, none of them have ever actually had to watch their backs or keep their heads down (and forget going to the authorities, they're part of the problem) to avoid a near-fatal beating. I never really had to do that either growing up, but the last year has really sharpened my perception of danger.

especially when feminists try to hide behind their support for the LGBT community and make it out like “geek culture” is homophobic too. That's especially ironic given that some of the worst homophobia I've seen has come from the most "woke" of feminists.

It's par for the course when it comes to cops. They exist primarily to protect the private property of the oligarchs while keeping the peasants in line by any means necessary, and the courts are in on the scam. To illustrate this, the Seattle PD sent more cops to the Jan 6th riots than any other PD in the country. This is the same PD that has 3 decades worth of complaints about racist enforcement and excessive force dating back to the WTO riots.

What you're kind of describing is why toxic masculinity is the problem. Men not opening up, being able to be "weak" isn't un-manly. When we do open up we get told to shut up by the same people who prattle in about "toxic masculinity" and how we just need to open up to solve our problems.

They will fully get behind the narrative that women always have it worse (even when statistics contradict that) and completely fail to understand how being male really does little for you in the long run if you are one of the have-nots. Socdems see this as "progressive," and completely ignore how turning their backs on mens' issues is hurting the left and pushing very receptive men a…

They're already throwing the LGBT under the bus. I saw this post a few days after Obergefell V Hodges was decided which declared that being a gay man now was equivalent to having white privilege (never mind that you can still be fired for being gay in multiple states). The compassion that they say they have is skin deep at best.

What do you mean by this? How are we using "committees, conferences, laws, policy and BILLIONS of dollars" to solve women's problems? Just look at how any societal problems which affect women are responded to. There is an institutional response designed to achieve results. You do not see this kind of response to problems affecting men, assuming the problems aren't just outright ignored. Case in point: Look at how domestic violence gets handled.

"Criticism of the Duluth Model has centered on the program's insistence that men are perpetrators who are violent because they have been socialized in a patriarchy that condones male violence, and that women are victims who are violent only in self-defense." It absolutely works that way. If your crime model hinges on "man = perpetrator, woman = victim" in order to work then it has to exclude the alternative scenarios. That is a defacto way of making female on male IPV legal.
