Show transcriptScreenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

Do you think it's completely baseless? I mean there's people like Andrew tate with millions of viewers who subscribe to this type of behavior. Do you think that the rebuttal outweighs the originating source?

I just don't even see why you would lump yourself in with the accused? Unless you are someone following someone like tate, why do you think they are talking about you?

We don't lump ourselves in with the accused. The people accusing so often paint with such a broad brush that if it were directed at any demographic other than men, it would be immediately attacked for being racist/sexist/pick a sexuality phobic. But since it's attacking men, it gets a pass for some reason among left and center leaning media.

~45% of men aren't voting for the right, but they're getting attacked for the actions of those that did. If anyone speaks up against that, they get mocked for dating to say "not all men", as if standing up for yourself against baseless accusations is repulsive because we dared to have the same sewage equipment as some bad people. You can see it in this thread.

Is this a US thing? Are things this fucked up over there?

this country and its rotten culture are in terminal decline.
