My brain is always struggling with upping a post,when the context is so vile. I just don't understand how could this kind of angry POS people exist and the education their parents are giving them.

you don't wanna know
What ever gets a reaction from the opposition I guess
I’ve started getting cat called at night while walking my dog. I live in a red area and I dress crappy and I’m middle aged. Today I decided to change my walking schedule and location.
They include the phrase being directed at them within schools or chanted by young boys in classes.
Young boys are following the misogynist Pied Piper and all the parents are just letting it happen. FFS
"Your dick, my knife"
That already happened to like 90% of us thanks to the same cultists.
I'd love to see a real effort to stop genital mutilation of all babies. When the most visible time men speak up about it though is when they insert themselves into a conversation about women, it does not build sympathy for the issue.
I mean this sincerely. If you are at all serious about stopping the genital mutilation of babies, I suggest you rethink your strategy.

That's not true, its just the only time you notice. It was a completely relevant to the comment. Do you really think you'd respond like this if a women replied with a relevant thing that happens to them? You could have just agreed that it's crazy how far religious zealotry.
Dude. I think circumcision is barbaric too, but there's a fucking time.
the time is now old man
This started on Wednesday, almost immediately after Trump's victory was announced. By Friday it was already being reported in grade schools because asshole parents enjoy raising asshole sons, and Trump tells people that it's ok to be the absolute worst human being they can be.
I have a friend who is a hard Republican. We generally don't talk politics, but after this started last week he was posting things online being offensive towards women and POC (and the whole "illegals took my job and healthcare") so I finally had to call him out. His response was basically that he wasn't aware of any increased discrimination happening against women, therefore he didn't believe it was happening. I've known the guy for 40 years but this may be the thing that breaks our friendship. He claims to be an advocate for people's rights yet he is painfully unaware of the world around him.

advocate for people's rights
You really can't be both at the same time.
After this election I've had to cut a bunch of people out of my life, even relatives. A lot of them saying such wonderful things as "trump's just saying things, he doesn't actually mean anything he's saying." And then they'd get defensive when I'd ask them why they votes for him then if he doesn't mean anything he says.
It's really hard to cut people out of your life but afterwards it's amazing realizing that you don't need to tip toe around things that may be vaguely political (or explicitly) anymore to not start an argument.
People that vote for the violence against the people I love have no place in my life no matter who that person is.
I remember reading some headline that reads:
"alt-right women frustrated at alt-right men about their misogyny. seeks change within the movement"
or something like that.
Leopard. Face. Etc...
woah, what the fuck americans?
The lizard brains always existed. Inbred, maladjusted, loud angry hateful fucks. We used to be able to suppress them. We ceded the helm of this nation to a bunch of corporations and their puppets in congress. We've been trying like hell to fight this multi front battle and are just taking Ls across the board.
We are burning books. Banning knowledge.
We are entering an environment where many do not have the luxury of having an opinion.
Speaking for all of those who were still trying: We're sorry. We're still here. We still care. But we're fighting a losing battle.
Speaking for myself... I'm fucking tired man. I'm not the only one. People I've spoken to all are effectively the same: resigned to what comes next. There isn't enough unity in this mess to right the ship. That unity will come with desperation... and we're not there yet. 4-6 years. Maybe then. It's got to get a lot worse before we unify over the collective mess we're all stuck in.
I think some of this is being amplified by America’s enemies to drive division.
You are 100% correct. The problem is most of the public has lost the ability to discern the difference between truth and fiction. Not their fault specifically: most of even the most technically literate would struggle to fact check what our ~~news~~ media and feeds dump on us.
The really gross part is this is firmly not just Americans being stupid this time, and has somehow become The Thing To Say Online for the whole damn planet full of incel types.
Yeah it's fucking disgusting. Do they not have a mother?!
Not one they love or, I imagine, that loves them.
It's the 'boiling over' part. Seems to be ramping up, and we're sure to see a lot more of this coming.
There are, indeed, a lot of foreign Trumpites, this is not just on America.
Who did you think we were? This is who we've always been. They're just getting comfortable taking the mask off again. Trust me, my grandmother and other family were put through the racist indian boarding schools. Common throughout the US and Canada. You know, the ones they keep finding mass graves on. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just more subtle, less in your face.
Most people thought are too distracted with bread and circuses to care however.
Na, it will only take two years.
Trump tariffs will crater the economy in a year.
Massive round ups of migrants both legal and illegal. Killing farming and destroying families.
Musk well being Musk and chopping the Federal Budget,
50,000 vetted loyal Trumpists ready to take over the Federal government.
Matt Gates in charge of the Dept of Justice leading Trumps Vengence tour.
RFK Jr starts peddling raw milk and makes vaccines illegal.
It’s gonna be fucking LIT. I can’t wait to tell my half wit Dominican coworker who voted for Trump “I told you so” when their family gets deported. I can’t wait to tell my idiot sister in laws who voted for Trump, I told you so when the government programs including Obama Care get wrecked.
Of course I’m going to suffer too, I’m stocking up on N1 masks, food, toilet paper and bullets… but holy shit I’m going to be saying I told you so in the nastiest most demeaning way possible for the rest of my days.
It'll be our one solace going forward. I'm pretty cishet passing, but I'm still considering getting a passport and trying to escape somewhere else. I don't really want to abandon any actual people left in this country, but I'm not entirely sure what i can even do, especially where I'm located in the country.
execuse me for a sec, for I gotta puke.
It was always there - we merely lost the fight on making it shameful to say in public.
.... platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook, and Reddit.
What are four platforms I will never use again Alex?
And while you'd be right to do so- make no mistake that there are posts on every social media platform with the same exact goal in mind. This one is no different.
We are entering into an era informational noise. The signal is still there but it is fucking faint in the storm of misinformation and ai/seo bullshit it is being transmitted into.
Now let's all make sure it won't escalate to the point of current South Korea
Edit: I have no idea how did my autocorrect change of to I'd
Relevant videos by Moon Channel (warning: LONG):
Can you give a tl:dr?
Without even clicking the links; they are videos about the insane sexism and fragile masculinity in South Korea.
Edit: i was right! Specifically they are about how god damned pathetic Korean men are. They can't even see a self insert male protagonist in a phone game without screaming that they are being cucked. They make our incels look like the picture of healthy masculinity.
