It’s certainly become a pejorative and insult in contemporary speech, but a slur is quite a bit different than a generic insult

PCM is a very reactionary subreddit. Most of the posts are “the left is destroying western culture” memes and a lot of the posts just outright glorify fascists and fascism.

It’s for children and people who treat politics like a game. Anybody who is principled in their respective ideology wouldn’t be caught dead in that clowntown

Fascists have no principles and are happy to play games and flatten all context, so they thrive there. What could be better framing for a fascist, than a system which they are equally as valid and moral and logical as anyone else? What could be a better and more malleable audience than children “ironically” playing a game but internalizing its lessons? All their past misdeeds and libidinal death drive forgotten.

Honestly it’s even worse than that. I absolutely treat electoral politics like a game, like sports. It’s the only way to stay somewhat sane. They treat ideology as a game, like it can be traded about like cards or if ‘well this season black mana decks are abit overpowered so I should be that’.

It’s a toxic idea that even the platonists recognized as corrosive to social fabric.

Young men are killing themselves at disproportionate rates for the same reason they’re overrepresented in all other forms of physical violence: on the whole, men are bullied out of developing emotional coping skills. Do I need to post the bell hooks quote? I’ll post the bell hooks quote istg

Honestly, not my experience. I know plenty of men who are desperate for positive reinforcement to the point of toxicity. But I don’t understand the baconator thing.

The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.

I’m just trying to let them know they still have worth (and all their problems are due to the wicked feemoids, who have no worth at all).
