I am perennially fascinated by this aspect of the current moment. The people most invested in masculinity as a political project have an idea of it that seems bizarre to me. Not just in the sense of: I disagree with them about what would be good. Obviously. But it's more than that...
setting aside the fact that the entire white house staff is utterly poisoned by online in a way that actually exceeds any democratic staffer, it is incredibly pathetic that they look at trump's temper tantrum and see "strength"

Today, in a meeting at the White House, the only person actually defending American interests was Zelenskyy.
Let that sink in.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Yes, Trump and Musk are engaged in flagrant self-dealing. But it's no worse than what Joe Biden was accused of doing but didn't actually do.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

As the fundraiser is stuck at 165,000$ out of 240,000, I am asking you to RT, like and comment the post I am quoting, it greatly helps the algorithms, and while it costs you nothing, an RT may save a life of a Ukrainian defender.
I would like to demonstrate the equipment you helped deliver to Ukraine in action. It might inspire others to contribute and help the fundraiser reach its goal. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and perhaps you could make a meaningful gift to these engineers by donating:

Its 7.30am and I am weeping over Tim Minchin’s ‘White Wine in the Sun’ so it must be Christmas Eve. Never been more grateful to be Australian (& I’ve always been grateful) than in 2024. youtu.be/fCNvZqpa-7Q
