This feels like the central toxicity of these dude-gurus: They're feeding men an ideology that immediately casts it as "virtue signaling" whenever anyone states a moral value of any kind. An explicitly nihilistic worldview and a recipe for lifelong misery.

KYUK is a scrappy public radio station in Alaska. When Congress went after NPR, public radio stations like this one took the hit.
It broadcasts to indigenous people living in the tundra, and without public funding, it's facing massive layoffs.
