2/ Manosphere vs Shoresy
The Manosphere teaches young men to whine, blame, and fake dominance.
Shoresy teaches:
- Work hard.
- Chirp better.
- Stay loyal.
- Respect women.
- Never be soft — but never be a dick either

Who folded? Biden simply asked Mexico to deploy 10k troops back in 2021. This isn’t a new idea—it's a fake problem with a fake solution.
The MAGA crowd was fooled yet again. Now, the world hates the US and boycotts their products. A win in MAGA minds, a loss for the country.
