I'll be on ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Your brother is on a (specifically designed and heavily funded) pipeline to being a total piece of shit (not just with misogyny, but racism, and probably queerphobia and ableism too), do what you can to get him off it. A quick search brings up what looks to be some good info to start you off:

Manosphere

Misogynistic influencers are trending right now. Defusing their message is a complex task

De-radicalising incels out of the ‘manosphere’ through Reddit

Making a Radical Misogynist: How Online Social Engagement with the Manosphere Influences Traits of Radicalization

Swallowing and spitting out the red pill: young men, vulnerability, and radicalization pathways in the manosphere

Exiting the Manosphere

There are also many youtube videos on the subject, though I haven’t watched any recently, so I won’t link, but look up something along the lines of “manosphere right wing pipeline” and you should see some results.

If you’re really asking what it means, an Alpha is a

pseudo scientific myth that has been twisted and then adopted almost exclusively by toxic men to try and boost their own ego and justify their shit behaviour

FTFY

And you’re telling everyone here that you are an ableist… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It obviously hit home with the bored loser, since they picked it for one of their latest account names lmmfao

(seriously though, the mods of this community need to get a grip on this spam)

He let’s me freely hang out at his nice place full of amenities so I can’t badmouth him

Lmfao, no, you can, you just like the taste of boot, and the benefits he gives you (that he only has because he exploits people like you) too much to.

Also, those last two points in the meme, as well as this being your only post on a new account strongly suggest that this is a troll, or at the very least, a really sad LARP, rather than observations made by someone who has ever spent any time at all with any actual rich people.

There seems to be this new trend of accounts being created to post this low quality rage bate and other boomer humour at best in this community. This is either a bot, or a really bored loser, either way, the pattern is very obvious (new account that posts 3 comics in a row here and nothing else), and easy to spot and block.

I know this will have little impact, but do yourselves a favour - don’t feed the troll.

I love how the men who can’t help but pipe up about how “ackchyually” this isn’t the case because reasons all magically happen to anecdotally be the statistical anomalies of what decades of research (not to mention their reflexive reaction) has repeatedly proven is a real problem that exists across all walks of life.

Like pretty much all posts about anything even remotely feminism related, it is a self selection mechanism that they just can’t help but react to.

being patient like that definitely a skill that is not always easy to get right, and certainly takes practice.

What it mostly takes is mountains of privilege.

Not to mention that tone policing and demanding faux civility (but only from one side, the other gets to openly support oppressive constructs and still be seen as “well meaning” while those defending their humanity and fighting for survival get framed as the problem) are tools that serve to further oppress already marginalise voices, not uplift them.

Do better.

He’s propaganda for American exceptionalism sure, but also embodies it in an old school New Deal way. The character has been consistently anti-facist over the years.

Pretending that America isn’t only already fascist, but inspired the fascists they are supposedly against is American exceptionalism, and you’re eating it right up.

Next time, take it one step further lol:

I don’t think I have a favourite, but I’m definitely with you - when it comes to food prep I’ll always choose an item that is one solid piece over one that has joins (and other unnecessary grooves and crevices, or that is porous) where crap accumulates and is hard or even impossible to remove.

stickers that I don’t want to waste

Permanently sticking it somewhere? That is a tattoo-level commitment, I ain’t doing that.

I have found my people and feel validated 😂

He also wouldn’t have made it to this point alive were he Black, nor would he have the same kind of support had he previously spoken out about Black liberation or the Land Back movement for example, rather than how “wokeism” is the cause of racism.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - him shooting a CEO was good and inspiring, putting anyone up on a pedestal, starting a cult of personality, and ignoring some or all of the different systems of oppression at play, is definitely not.

I now have the hilarious image in my head of a toddler giving their granny a pat down (image of one in case the term isn’t familiar to everyone), thanks! 😂

E: replied to wrong person, oops! 😂

So you’re not, in fact, “super supportive” at all then, are you, and are not, in fact, worth hearing out… 🙄

Also @spujb@lemmy.cafe - I think this thread would fit right in to your collection.

Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn’t considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we’re one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it’s pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers (“wouldn’t want to ruin his life over a bit of fun”), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we’ve got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it’s easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you’re a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat…

Ass.

Because bigots can’t help but out themselves, it’s like some sort of fucked up reflex they have…

You’re still allowed to have a billion

Why? Why do you feel the need to hold on to this “aspiration”?

You will never become a billionaire, stop defending your exploiters.
