And yes, this was clearly inspired by Aqua's success.

I took my little sister to an Aqua gig early 2000s and it was one of the best concerts I've been to. They were really good live and the whole show was one continuous live mix of all their songs.

But my god the terrible knock-off acts their sound spawned were something else.

anyway the correct take is that it's nobody's responsibility to bring men meaning to their own lives and if the only meaning you have is from misogynic privilege maybe that's something you have to work on and not the entire field of feminism's fault

Yeah, even making 10 bucks an hour well above the federal min wage, assuming a take home of 80% or so, that's a princely 1600 -about 100 shy of the average 1 bedroom apartment in the US.

The political slant is shoe on head is 'post left,' so gets their clicks saying coyling right wing stuff. So the comments are a slapfight of the most annoying sorts.

It's perhaps no one's responsibility, but there's certainly a degree of self-interest involved in facilitating meaning-making for people who are being crushed by going social structures, if only to help said people avoid ending up making meaning through rage and reactionary politics.

Shoe0nhead and Vaush are both dipshits who, like the poster two posts above me said, are "post left" which means "basically right wingers but we act like we're being altruistic". Same people who blame trans people for the current culture war when we get too uppity and outspoken

Ignoring that shoe is involved, it's basically a dude posting about how he's socially isolated and miserable, and some rando saying it's his fault and he deserves it, I guess for being a man. It's tone deaf and completely lacks empathy. You don't have to go out of your way to help strangers out, but it costs nothing to at least recognize when someone is having a hard time and acknowledge that the patriarchy (and capitalism) hurts both men and women

Yeah ignoring the bait-y "this is why the left is losing" framing, I don't see the justification in napalm-bombing the original dude for the crime of being depressed, drat.

The problem comes from how a lot of social progressives are taught to completely ignore material realities, and are encouraged to attack any perceived valid target for clicks and clout. And the easiest targets are the most vulnerable and powerless of the perceived oppressor class.

This is also where TERFs come from.

A huge problem is that a lot of people don't seem to realize that the patriarchy is not a system that primarily aims to benefit men, but rather one that primarily aims to benefit patriarchs. Under a patriarchal system, the vast majority of men are by necessity left out.

And so often, if you even hint at the huge problems of loneliness and suicide with straight men, you get accused of being a right-wing MRA dude. A lot of leftist spaces are openly hostile towards guys who are also very much victims of capitalism and the patriarchy, and told all their problems are their own fault. The response is also often pointing out how women and minorities have it worse, and yeah, of course they do, but since when did empathy and compassion become a limited resource? We shouldn't push people away who genuinely need help, just because there are other people who have it worse. There's room for everyone.

The original tweet chain (which I advise not looking up because the replies are even more overtly racist) defends it by saying "implied race" counts but also goes into how the attractiveness of your avatar must match yourself. It's clearly just getting huffy out of insecurity over being catfished.

Yup, and a knock on effect of that is that it harms trans women and non-binary/gender nonconforming people who are amab. No matter how inclusive a leftist space tries to be, there will often enough be people who, when they get into conflict with someone who belongs to either of those groups, will let their internalized transphobia take over. Of course, they can't say that, so instead they'll make up something about how so-and-so is an abuser, call them misogynists (indirectly implying that they're men), and then rally the community together to hold them AccountableTM until they've been completely and effectively ostracized by everyone. I've seen this exact thing play out at least half a dozen times already and even if (usually years later) people realize that they were wrong and did a hosed up thing, it doesn't undo the incredible damage they've done

Not to linger too much on politics chat, but I generally haven't found leftists hostile towards people less harmed by the systems we're trying to fix. Generally it's liberals who fall into that rhetorical trap, though it can also be the more progressive and cool ones and not just the "I'd be a republican if they weren't loving ghouls about me or people I love."

Though I guess this is also one of those problems with words having almost no shared meaning when talking politics, let alone how we all seem to be living in vastly different realities.

Yeah, poo poo is hosed. In the US it's incredibly common that even getting into the top 20% of household income is enough to be somewhat stable, but not enough to own a home close enough to where you can make that money.
