On climate:

But here's the thing - then you need to let people into the tent who aren't 100% on board with us on every social and cultural issue, or issues like guns or climate.

He doesn't say anything else on climate, and this is not "abandoning action on climate change." The people already in the tent don't agree on everything, and they have not "abandoned action" because of it.

On men's rights:

Meanwhile, men tumble into a different kind of identity crisis, as the patriarchy, society's primary organizing paradigm for centuries, rightly crashes. The right pushes an alluring dial back. The left says "get over it". Again, a refusal to listen/offer responsible solutions.

This is not "uncritically supporting men's rights."

But it is probably worth understanding how patriarchy harms men because inequality harms us all.

Sure, if that's how you need to frame it to fit your worldview go ahead. Just please try to find agreement when feminist framing is not used, because it usually won't be.

Lemmy is probably primarily US like Reddit. (US here.)

I can imagine silica being in a medicine bottle. After you break the seal, you'll put the lid back on and the medicine should stay dry. I'm uncertain whether I've ever actually seen that, though.

There's a somewhat antiquated idea of honor that accounts for that. A good man can definitely be on the other side, and you need to kill him anyway.
