Trump is a musical theater fan who dodged the draft, gossips about teen actors love lives, has never worked a day in his life, isn't in shape and has no signifiers of masculinity. He gets to be the pinnacle of masculinity purely because he represents cruelty.

Likewise no matter how grizzled whoever the Dems put up is they will always be effeminate in comparison, no matter how many of their supposed criteria for masculinity they fulfill.

Beyond the dems, none of their political opponents can ever be real men. No socialist is anything but a (gay) effeminate loser, nothing but their unwillingness to be performative cruel will ever be considered.

idk why draft dodging is an insult.. everybody is antiwar until it comes to people actually not going to war

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 28 points 4 days ago

It matters that they define the military as the epitome of masculinity and refusal to engage with it as unmanly until Trump doesn't want to do it.

they just obliterate the class analysis. dodging the draft via the means used by trump or george w bush is bad because the bourgeoise are bad. dodging it by proletarian means is cool.

The class analysis doesn't need to be brought in to highlight the hypocrisy.

It's not shameful to like musical theatre either.

It's only a insult against those of the ruling class who can get out of it. The people who cause the wars are not the ones going to war.

I think it’s because they follow the morality of power, and for them being a man = good.

Like their morality framework is that if you are a loser, you are bad (morally). If you are a winner, you are good.

Men “won” the gender wars. So they are good. Women trying to take space and have “equality” is something a loser would do, thus bad.

Cruelty is for them just another aspect of having power in our world. It’s how you express how much more powerful you are. You can be a dick, you can be arrogant. But if you are cruel and still get away with it? You are truly powerful.

Also, if you are a loser you are not human. Winners are humans, cause humans “won” the jungle survival game.

And so on…

I'm a huge dude. 200 cm, decently muscular. I wear a mask due to my disability. I walk past chuds all the time where I live, and I can see it in their eyes. How badly they want to yell at me for it. To say some snide comment (they wouldn't get physical, its the Midwest). They want so badly to be cruel, but they can't, because the fact is I look like I could pack them up without breaking a sweat. Every once in a while, a drunk guy will the the gumption to talk to me, but they just ask politely why I'm wearing it. It provides me with a sick satisfaction to see them be subjected to the powerlessness they want desperately to cause me.

Hmm ok so we need to be all tall and shredded and chuds won't know what to do

[-] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

I wouldn't say everyone needs to, but as leftists we should be forming parties and aid groups anyway, the bigger people should be there to protect everyone else.

In a world where everyone says you are right you can never appreciate soft power. You don’t know what no means. When you encounter a “No” you angrily yell and someone solves the problem for you. Perhaps by soft power. But because you set the chain of events in motion by yelling you think the yelling was part of it being solved. The cruelty follows. They want a reaction to their dissatisfaction. Cruel baby men.

Sam Neill with the duck is who I want to be as a man, and I'm kind of already halfway there so that's good.

[-] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 19 points 4 days ago

you forgot that trumps other measure of manliness is his thirst for theremoved of women underage girls and i think thats important

[-] ConcreteHalloween@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

It is pretty cruel, to myself, how many wings I pound at 2 for 1 night at Buffalo Wild Wings.

Trump is a reflection of the complexes of the lawn dealership owners. They’re getting crushed, by both the “big government” (big capitalists) and workers unions. Similar to 30s Germany, they unite under a figure who expresses their desires, but it fundamentally a product of the big capitalists (IG Farben then, agribusiness/pharma firms that were literally part of the IG cartel like Bayer now). In both cases, this class got consolidated into workers/big capitalists right? Pretty sure this means we’re emptying the suburbs and confiscating the treats trump-who-must-go
