"Computer. Splinter everyone into personalized algorithmic silos without increasing their humility or awareness. Then make them believe the disinterest of other people in their unique realities is hostility and intolerance."
In 1984, George Orwell wrote: "It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy."
He wasn't being misogynistic but was making a psychological observation. In his view, women, particularly in their role as caregivers and moral enforcers, tend to prioritize safety and compassion over risk and freedom. That instinct, while natural, is easily weaponized by totalitarian systems when conformity is marketed as compassion and control is rebranded as care. The state taps into the feminine psyche to enforce ideological obedience.
Men will do almost anything to attract a mate. So when the state captures women through propaganda, redefining tyranny as empathy and compliance as virtue, men follow - especially those who can't compete in the traditional dating market; they feminize themselves and trade strength for submission. This is what evolutionary biologists call the 'sneaky fucker strategy': Low-status males mimicking feminine traits or moral positions in hopes of reproductive access.
While all that unfolds, families disintegrate. Single motherhood, a top predictor, becomes the norm. Children from single-parent homes are far less likely to climb the economic ladder. Who steps into the provider-protector role? Not the father, but the state. But the state is funded disproportionately by men. So rather than supporting the women they married and raised children with directly, men subsidize a state which in turn provides for women through social programs. Why? Because women have been propagandized to see every relationship as a power dynamic - except the one with the state, which, ironically, is the centralization of raw power. They've been told that to rely on a man is weakness, but to rely on bureaucracy is empowerment. This is not progress. This is dependency with a new face.
Both men and women are suffering. The childless middle-aged woman and the incel are two sides of the same broken culture. A woman without her own child often directs her maternal instinct towards abstract causes, infantilizing minorities under the guise of social justice. What we're witnessing from psychologically unwell men and women is Nietzsche's concept of ressentiment - envy dressed up as morality. The strong became evil. The weak became good. Strength became tyranny. We now live in a pathologically soft society that sides even with those who harm it, where punishing crime feels unfair and victimhood is the highest virtue. Nietzsche called them the tarantulas: those who preach justice but act from bitterness. They don't want to uplift the weak - they want to drag down the strong.
"Most middle-class Socialists, while theoretically pining for a class-less society, cling like glue to their miserable fragments of social prestige."
These bitter, well-educated and affluent types don't actually care about the downtrodden. They weaponize them. The real target is success, competence and independence - because those qualities expose their own inadequacies. But the answer to pathological femininity isn't pathological masculinity. It's not swinging the pendulum too far in the other direction. The answer is balance. Masculinity and femininity are not enemies - they're symbiotic. We've overcorrected.
We escaped a world where masculinity once tyrannized femininity, only to arrive in a world where femininity is tyrannizing masculinity. We are not oppressed by patriarchy. We're being suffocated by pathological softness, envy and resentment and unless we recognize this imbalance, the future will be emotionally manipulated, morally confused and biologically unsustainable.
The world is slowly beginning to understand who Ryan Cohen is and the full scope of his vision—not only for eBay, but for corporate America as a whole. This is also putting a massive spotlight on eBay’s shit board.
RC is cooking.
@ReesePolitics Corporate media are scum, shamelessly running off scripts to bash highly shorted American companies
They deserve all the disdain RC showed them and more
GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has made an unsolicited $56 billion offer to acquire eBay, proposing $125 per share in a bid to build a major e-commerce rival. The proposal includes a 20% premium, a 5% equity stake, and $20 billion in secured financing, targeting a company roughly four times GameStop’s size.
It used to be that all of our cultural metaphors were violent, and sex was taboo, but now all of our metaphors are sexual and violence is taboo
If we really understood that the repressed always returns, we'd switch back quick
