Summary

In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.

Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.

This cultural shift mirrored Trump’s election victory and reflected backlash against progressive gender norms.

Though some view these spaces as promoting traditional values, critics warn of growing misogyny and radicalization in the “manosphere.”

The rise of such spaces highlights deepening political polarization online.

    At some point, you need to hold the figurehead accountable for the scam so that other potential future figureheads will know to do some research before putting their name on illegal shit.

      I already said if there is found reason to try her for her contribution to the crypto scam, that should happen.

        I know. I’m saying that her attaching her name to it and endorsing it should be enough of a reason.

          Okay, well I’m not a lawyer so I can’t say if that is enough of a reason, but if it is, so be it. That doesn’t change my empathy toward her.

          (I’m not sure why so many people here think “I feel sorry for her” and “she should get tried for her crimes” can’t both be thoughts someone holds without any contradiction.)
