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.

    Again, you’re blaming someone who isn’t very bright for not being very bright.

    Half of humanity is of below average intelligence.

        I already said that if she is found to be liable for her part in the crypto scam, she should be tried for it.

        Is the concept of feeling pity for someone even if they commit a crime so foreign to so many people here?

            Do you really think that’s what she is? Do you think if you asked her to explain anything about crypto to you that she could?

                Indeed you don’t see how it is any better to be someone who ends up committing a crime because they are being taken advantage of and someone who commits a crime because they are knowingly doing something to make the world worse.

                And that also makes the world worse. Deciding that a crime is a crime and once committed, you can’t feel any sympathy for the criminal.

                  she’s not “being taken advantage of”, she had to be in the scam and offered a cut because why would she get in in the first place. she’s just in the finding out stage

                  if anything your empathy seems to be misplaced

                    Really? You do know people can be offered a cut of a scam without knowing it’s a scam, right?

                    And no, my empathy is not misplaced. I don’t even know how it is possible for empathy to be misplaced. I’m not sure you understand the concept if you say something like that. It’s like saying “you don’t think the thing you’re laughing at is funny” or “that thing you’re crying about doesn’t make you sad.”

      You’re getting downvoted, but you’re speaking straight facts. The average Lemming is smug about their perceived above average intelligence and believes anyone below that to be deserving of less. The comment you responded to gives off “If you’re homeless just rent a house” vibes.

      Speak your truth brother 🗣️

        It really bothers me that many people here seem to think that either not being smart or committing crimes means no one should feel bad for you for any reason.

        It’s the sort of total lack of recognition of humanity I have come to expect from the right, but it seems to be spilling over.

          Unfortunately this isn’t a partisan thing. Dispassionate people exist on both sides of the spectrum. You’d at least think the left would be more considerate about this issue though
