This basically describes the air conditioner debate as well. Americans are like "just fix it" and Europeans see some sort of dignity in being miserable for no reason when a solution exists.
250 years, and your empire has been reduced to a single island the size of Michigan, with a GDP barely higher than Mississippi, the poorest of our fifty states.
Enjoy your warm beer in that unairconditioned old pub.
Don’t talk too much shit online though, you might get arrested.
“Charlie Kirk said that a holiday that no one celebrated until 6 years ago isn’t a real holiday, so we were 100% right to assassinate him and joke about his death for the last 9 months”
Making fun of Herman Cain’s death: acceptable.
Calling Clarence Thomas the n-word: acceptable.
Doxxing Supreme Court Justices: acceptable.
Wishing death on a sitting President: acceptable.
Celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk: acceptable.
Making fun of Erika Kirk because she’s not mourning the way you think she should: acceptable.
Calling Michelle Obama a man: UNNACCEPTABLE AND MUST BE CONDEMNED IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE BY EVERYONE WHO IS EVEN REMOTELY INVOLVED!!!!!

@esjesjesj Evan will defend the murder of someone if he’s the rich CEO of a healthcare company, but will bend over backwards to justify a child rapist & killer not being sentenced to death. There’s really no low you won’t stoop to in the name of your putrid ideology.
The Platner tattoo story isn’t about Platner.
It's about the people who spent years calling everyone on the Right a Nazi for the slightest association, only to line up like rank-and-file partisans behind a Democratic Senate candidate who wore a literal SS Totenkopf tattoo for 18 years.
It's a story about how years and years of moral indignation from the Very Serious People™ class proved to be a paper-thin veneer over your team jerseys.
This doesn't work for normal men and I'm going to explain why:
What Tom Holland is doing here is called "counter-signalling." This works by demonstrating that you have so much surplus social status that you can get away with breaking social norms and expectations.
For example: at most jobs everyone wears a suit or uniform to work and shows up at 8 AM...except for the owner of the company who shows up at noon wearing a t-shirt and jeans. The owner can do that because, as the owner, he has so much influence and status within the company that he can break the dresscode amd show up late and still get away with it. The regular employees can't do this, if they ever even tried it they would get fired.
The same goes with the video below.
Tom Holland can do it because he's a millionaire actor who plays spiderman, and Zendaya loves it because it's a display of the fact that he has so much social status that he can do this stuff and get away with it. If a regular man tried this on a first date (or even a 1pth date) it would look completely cringy. Being able to pull this off is a result of Tom Holland having enormous social status, it isn't the reason he has that status. It like the company owner: he doesn't own the company because he wears tshirts and shows up late, he wears tshirts and shows up late because he owns the company.
Telling young men to aspire to do drag to get a girl gets the causation exactly backwards— Tom Holland isn't famous cause he can pull this off, he cannpull this off because he is rich and famous. This won't work for normal men because they don't have the social status to pull this off; confidence and "security" are irrelevant. I can have the security and confidence to show up late to work wearing a t-shirt instead of my suit or uniform; but if I do that I'll still get fired.
The same thing applies here.
How much status you have and the social position you occupy play a big role in determining how the signals you send get interpreted. A regular woman talking to a regular guy is going to have very different opinion of him if he shows up in drag than she does of the famous actor does over the top performative drag on a TV show.
Telling young men that secure masculinity looks like doing drag performances is like telling people trying to get a promotion at work that they should wear t-shirts and show up late.
It doesn't work that way.
