So if I'm a lonely guy it can only be because I'm a sack of shit. Cool cool. Love that. Great for the self esteem.
I have all my girlfriends on stream rn, ok so, Canonical_Warlock, so tell us, what have you done to further equity and resist fascism? Last six months is fine if you're busy. But we really want to hear about the community organizations you're interested in or working with. We're listening and ready to fawn and cheer. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
Also open to any advice for people who might be basing their esteem on meme stream concerning more nourishing options!
(i am neither sarcastic nor a cop, but the latter can still read replies, so maybe... semirhetorical.)
The fascists go for a predatory numbers game, hitting up as many women as possible while hoping they find ones vulnerable enough to get roped into an abusive relationship. It's a strategy that breaks down against women who socially reinforce self respect amongst each other. Of course, this isn't unique, as fascism similarly recruits vulnerable men who struggle with self respect. It's abuse and cruelty all the way down.
There are plenty of women in far right/neo-fascist etc. groups, and often people from those groups have relationships with other people from those groups. Your comment gives very much the impression that only males are fascists, which is absolutely not my experience dealing with Forza Nuova/Casapound people (both neo-fascists parties) in my youth.
I also see the male loneliness epidemic as an orthogonal problem to males being fascists, but that's yet another topic.
There are plenty of women in far right/neo-fascist etc. groups
There are plenty of the populist Mango Mussolini type fascist women, but AFAIK there are far fewer in the out and proud neo-nazi groups. There's this interview from this guy who was a neo-nazi until the mid-90s, and he talks about how the complaints from the incels now are the same as back when he was in. There were women in the group, but at a ratio of 7 or 8 to 1.
Yes, I am quite sure that in most countries the distribution of women/men within those groups are not equal and unbalanced towards men.
That said, being a member of the actual group doesn't mean not being in those people social groups, accepting or even sharing some of their ideas etc.
Instructions unclear, turned into an insufferable Marxist and now I don't have anyone to talk to
So. Counterpoint to this, in that I think those guys should just keep doing what they’re doing.
The bar is so low all I need to do is show up on a date and not say anything racist and I’m in.
In fact: y’all should go even harder with the douchebaggery.
Please, don't be dismissive of a real problem just because people you (rightfully) hate are disproportionately more affected.
The 'real problem' you're referencing is that hateful young men are having trouble finding young women who share their values?
The obvious solution is for those men to reassess their values. If they can't do that, then they deserve to be alone.
Eh, I wouldn't say so. I think it's mainly because men are pushed to be more tough and much less expressive of emotions, which, for one, pushes them down those horrible alt right pipelines, but also makes it hard for them to feel intimacy and make meaningful relationships much harder.
I believe that gender norms incredibly hurt both men and women.
Damn right they do. Toxic masculinity means I can't publicly express myself without this look:
Edit: down votes. See what I mean? Fascism thrives off toxic masculinity. The Nazi beliefs were that a man's role was to make children to propagate the "correct" genes, and die in war. It's a chicken and the egg problem, and we can't address one without addressing the other.
Well, I've been a filthy commie since middle school and I still have no bitches. How do you explain that?
Maybe it's time to try not calling us bitches?

I was quoting memes, but sure! Assume every man using the word "bitch" is secretly a misogynist fascist and they actually deserve it!
And people wonder why communism has such a low following among cis straight white males.
.... you want to put that shovel down, or keep digging?
No one is wondering where cis men are. Either they show up at the potluck and pitch in, or not.
Yes, I have overreacted.
I'll go touch grass.
Have a good day
I hope your grass visit is really nice. We'll still be here when you get back, and out at the potlucks if you come around.
You're not helping your case here
The meme didn't say "be a filthy commie;" the meme said "punch Nazis." Less theory, more praxis.
It depends heavily on what kind of commie you are actually.
If you're an ultra, you're likely too busy shitting on other communists from the comfort of the armchair to look for a relationship
If you're a ML or Maoist, you probably don't want a relationship to spend more time "reading theory" (watching youtube slop)
If you're a Trotskyite, you're likely already in a sex offender registry
If you're a Bordigist, you're playing hard mode when it comes to getting a relationship as you refuse to be a usufructuary traitor to the health of the species (you avoid drinking and smoking and all like the plague)
If you're a revolutionary Marxist who has read theory, then you'll drive people away with your revolutionary aura
If you're a Marxist who hasn't read theory, then you're a liberal who shouldn't have any problems finding a relationship
Fascism is a desiccant more powerful than silica gel.
I think it is at least accurate to some degree - but, sadly, both romantic and sexual attraction are subject to a whole chaotic mess of both conscious and unconscious factors, often out of our own control. Otherwise toxic relationships and paraphilias (using the term in the sense of fetishisations genuinely harmful to yourself and/or others) wouldn't really be a thing.
do agree, bt i thinks is alsuu cuz if other factors
EDIT: edited "u" to "i"
What if this one nazi-puncher is gay? /s
Gogo nazi-puncher, also kick them too!
