“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.

    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.

    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"
