How are men supposed to display their emotions without it being emotional labor?

I mean the concept is you can express your emotions but like I don’t think the idea is to tell them to like strangers.

Like friends and family are different which I think is the group that is actually who are expected to listen

It's just one of those 1980s academic things that has been completely distorted. emotional labour originally referred to stuff like waiters having to be polite to customers and women raising children domestically and it doesn't really make any sense when you start applying it to every expression of emotion on someone else. 2015 tumblr stuff

Tulsi gets chuds by tapping into the same "economic anxiety" that Trump tapped into, but framing it in generally left terms. She also is nominally antiwar, but chuds read correctly that she just wants war against the same people they hate.

The goal is to have an equal exchange. Men tend to not do any emotional labor but demand it. They also tend to not talk about their emotions in any meaningful way until they explode and someone has to do a lot of work to put them back together. Men need to do more emotional labor and also be willing to talk about their emotions in situations beyond cataclysmic

Whether she's playing the role as a willing participant or not, Gabbard is clearly being positioned as a spoiler to help Trump be reelected. All her signal boosting is on the right, including Fox News, and most of us probably see her being brought up in various online discussions and forums by right wingers much more so than anyone on the left, so I assume she's getting a lot of signal boost on all the Breitbarts, AmericanThinker/Spectator/Federalist/Shapiro type places you'd expect.

She has no real constituency within the Democrats.

I'm not saying it's likely to work at all.

The GOP realizes Trump is poo poo and is in trouble. Even in a low turnout divided electorate election like 2016 he was down 3 million votes and scraped by with tiny margins in a handful of midwetern states. And he's only polarized and pissed off people more since.

Even without a poo poo candidate like Trump the only way going forward for the GOP to get electoral success is through gaming the system every way possible. Aside from actually reforming their policies, :laugh: Because of inexorable demographics. Vote suppression, disinformation, gerrymandering, spoiler candidates, and frank cheating.

Even their voters recognize this on a subconscious or conscious level. This is why whenever there's noise about a spoiler like Bloomberg, or Schultz, or now potentially Tulsi, and there's a high profile article about them somewhere, righty shitheads get all excited online and start talking the person up, after they've been signal boosted by all the righty media.

With CHUDs I'm familiar with online this is incredibly predictable. They're always the ones to link articles about this type of candidate when a little buzz pops up around them. They're all gleeful rubbing their hands together, like "lol Dems Bloomberg/Schultz/Tulsi gonna gently caress you over!"

They never have anything to say when these candidates (like Schultz) show that they have no actual political mojo and fizzle out. They just enjoy their little pipe dream (and any imagined fear or consternation they feel they might have caused non rightys) while they can.

We see it less on SA because the real knuckle draggers get probated and banned, or just run away because they can't take getting dogpiled. But on less moderated boards, even when they're in the distinct minority, they post their memes and Youtube videos and bullshit endlessly.

The point is that women are socialized and often forced to do emotional labour in their relationships, where their male friends and partners don't return the favour. It's one-sided as gently caress to do active listening, comfort a guy, discuss his feelings and help him relate, and then loving tumbleweeds when it's time to talk about your own problems.

In more uplifting news: Alt-rights and assorted fash tried to hold the "Scandza 2019" conference in secret in Copenhagen last saturday. Greg Johnson and the Golden One were invited, but I don't think TGO showed. They bragged a lot about keeping the location secret from antifa, but it was of course leaked in the early hours of the morning, leading a huge anti-fascist protest to harass and block attendees. Our noble aryan heroes had lied to a christian charity corps to rent their meeting hall under the guise of an interpreter conference - going so far as to ask to rent their kitchen, "because we'll have muslims attending" :pseudo:

Long story short, 4 people and 1 fascist were arrested, and the charity org leader tore the fascists a new rear end in a top hat, declaring their ideology illegal and cowardly on national tv :getin:

i think it only works if the dems nominate someone like biden so tulsi can depress dem votes from the left antiestablishment leaners. if she is around attacking the dem from the left it will take the focus off the need to defeat trump and we’ll get into the “both candidates are equally bad” takes. (to be sure, that would happen regardless with someone like biden, but she’ll have a fairly big platform for it that she’s willing to let the right wing media amplify for her)

You ever wonder how anime geeks get into traditional masculinity poo poo despite most anime protagonists being very frail teenage boys who talk about their feelings a lot and every woman around them is inexplicably attracted to them. How do you go from that to "clearly it is SEXUAL DEVIANCY and THE SCHOOL SYSTEM that is preventing me from getting laid"

also I don't get the whole "having sex with lots of people is sexual deviancy but jacking off to lolicon is not" poo poo. one wonders if you could use their own weird biotruths logic against them and make them sad by going, "clearly loving lots of attractive people is the evolutionary advantageous position, while your only sexual activity is cumming on a picture of a 12-year old and therefore your genes will be removed from this earth as is good and proper"

I think for male geeks and outcasts of various sorts there's a sort of crossroads probably met around 15 or so.

The other road is called the alt-right.

Funny how much rightwingers care about "IQ" when it measures one thing and one thing only: your ability to score above X% of the population on an IQ test.

Sure it correlates with things like education and abstract reasoning skills but so do family wealth and whether you're caffeinated vs sleep-deprived when you take the test, but somehow mysteriously they always recycle the exact same pseudoscientific and/or racist arguments to claim some intrinsic superiority.
