I'm truly sick of how people keep responding to the endless airtime given to the male grievance movement with "We should give them even more of our attention and focus" instead of, say, talking about its impact on WOMEN.
Anyway after an hour and a half of platforming some of the vilest misogynists you can find in Miami, Theroux concludes that the reason so many men are going fash is childhood trauma and alienation; two things that I guess women never experience.
"Boys will boys" also applies to "what's a little molestation between the lads" with a side of "grin and bear it and some day you'll be able to do it to your lessers".
Yeah, turns out that valuing and endorsing aggression, domination and violence leads to deeply maladaptive social norms.
Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.
"...which is why we want to force women to have more children, while ensuring they have no access to childcare."

Important to hold Morrison to account on this, but Albanese was elected nearly four full years ago now and will v soon have been PM longer than Morrison (and is the actual PM now)
$173 billion of imported fuel since Albanese was elected. Fuel efficiency standards have been wildly insufficient.
Obviously true, and that’s why it was necessary to fill every available channel with squealing, screeching and finger-pointing for two and a half years.
Newt Gingrich, leading GOP intellectual, wants to nuke the Persian Gulf.
the pro-Israel lobby harassment and silencing of anti-genocide survivors of sexual violence nexus totally tracks, btw. Not only is zionism notorious for protecting rapists, its military aggressively successfully block prosecution of rapists.

The tendency of some Zionists to embrace far right antisemites and even New Nazis is deeply destructive. Suggests degree to which Zionism is an aspect of white supremacy, and the mutual embrace of ethnonationalisms based on faith identity (often as code for race).
Cheers to everyone who delayed fossil fuel phaseout by saying "you can't switch off fossil fuels overnight"
Because thanks to them everyone now has to face a situation where fossil fuels are switched off overnight 🙃🙃🙃
“They should use AI to spread videos of leaders defecating on their citizens instead”
the Israel Says version of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon has dropped. As you would expect, it slots neatly into those carefully calibrated paragraphs reserved by major news outlets for Israeli lies about who “started” the <checks notes> Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

It is evidence of genocidal intent. Societies cannot be sustained unless the children grow into adults. Nobody should have to explain this at all, let alone every fucking day for weeks and months and years and decades and generations on end.
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

And that's the problem: the Albanese govt has shown little sign of fixing #inequality. #auspol

Guys, I'm sure this is an isolated incident and that these kinds of pay-for-play schemes are in no way warping our collective view of politics.
Trump, who’s dangerous war Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all support, is now desperately calling for China and NATO to help him. He has spent years mocking, insulting and attacking them. Now as his illegal war unravels he makes this call. Here’s how to fix it - end the war.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
Good news! The European Court of Justice on Thursday ruled that European Union nations must provide transgender citizens with identification documents reflecting their "lived gender" rather than their gender at birth.

Editorial: Alongside Angus Taylor, Matt Canavan represents the Coalition’s answer to One Nation. Together they promise an opposition that is crueller and more willing to indulge the ugliest corners of the country. They are both former management consultants. satpa.pe/FFcQaDy
In Australia, the labels are even less apt:
- our 'conservative' party is called "Liberal"; but they are now radical right
- the governing "Labor" party is driven by big business interests
- The "National" party is fossil fueled
- "One Nation" is for white supremacy - dividing the nation. #auspol
Janine Hendry:
"Until the number of women being killed begins to fall, every anniversary of March 4 Justice will carry the same truth. Australia heard the marches. But the killing has not stopped."
What a tragic indictment on our society.
