    I’m not saying all the “red-pill”/“sigma-pill”/“incel” groups/narratives don’t feed into eachother, but you’ve gotta realize these people are already in the minority.

    Minority or not, they are in politics and gaining power everywhere the right wing is surging and tbey are the same people in favour of all those subsidies. That said, i agree tbat the rest of the general public needs to change their consumption habits to make a real difference. I still think it’s worth pointing out the manly beef eating misogynist connection though, especially in advertising and its pernicious effects on society.

      Right, that’s why Kamala is ahead in the polls. You are confusing escalating rhetoric and the volume of such for the number of people that believe that garbage. They are spamming their gibberish everywhere because they know they won’t win the election if enough people turn out to vote…

      … but sure, go on pretending Andrew Tate represents the average American man. If you keep it up, you can scare enough women and young voters away from the polls to make a difference, and won’t that be just a joy for any of us with an ounce of sense to deal with?

      The idea that Republicans/conservatives are surging in numbers/influence/popularity is itself a MAGA talking point. The numbers do NOT bear it out.

        How would that scare those who don’t support him away from the polls? I would have thought it would be an incentive to vote? Assuming most women and young people do not support Andrew Tate.

          Imagine wondering how claiming the armed election-interfering ass-hats are in the majority would scare people away from the polls.

          Its difficult enough to convince people who see this country for what it is and has always been that voting is safe, ethical and worthwhile without you and people like you repeating MAGA talking points about how their numbers are increasing, when the opposite is the case.

            Don’t talk about the nazi’s! People might get scared! Everthing is fine!

            At no point did I claim they are in the majority.
