To all of you yelling “satire”
The entire idea of satire as a literary device is to use humor/be entertaining while also criticizing and exposing the issue at the base of the content.
Portraying “akara selling” as a lucrative business where you’re taking payment in solana and eth, patronizing Polanco and shopping at hf etc.
where is the said “satire” that you all are screaming?
I often don’t watch videos like this because, they usually don’t interest me. But today I watched until the end. While I don’t see any major issue with people passionately expressing their beliefs, I do find it interesting how people who strongly identify with feminism rarely acknowledge that there is also a male version of sacrifices and struggles.
Just as women have many complaints about what being a woman entails, men also have difficulties they are expected to endure. If a woman doesn’t want to recognize that, that’s their choice. But the important point is: as a woman, you shouldn’t expect genuine reconciliation or understanding from men when you dismiss their own experiences.
Also, I’m an advocate of men not obsessing over women’s choices. This video has hundreds of men arguing against these women, and honestly, I even feel slightly uncomfortable being grouped with that reaction. My question is: why are you so invested in convincing people who have already stated their preferences?
As a man today, you shouldn’t try to convince a woman that your idea of what is right, ideal, or principled is the correct one. Let them do what they want. Nobody is asking you to commit to them. Sometimes, the excessive need to argue with women about their preferences can reveal an insecurity: you don’t have enough options and need women in general to change to what you want, so more of them become available to you. It can also mean that you don’t have the ruthlessness to live on your own terms and are intimidated by the fact they’ll beat you to it—by their sexual leverage and sheer social savviness.
You should live on your own terms and only be available to those compatible with it. Many men avoid admitting this and instead opt for endless debates and think pieces.
Ultimately, if someone doesn’t want to submit, believe, or live according to your values, why spend so much energy trying to force agreement? Let them live, and you live according to your own standards. You should only go directly against them if they try to socialise the consequences of their own decisions.
This is one of the most astute assessments of the character of Bronny James Jr. From my coverage of him through two seasons in the NBA/G League, it is accurate. #MTAA#FightOn#Lakeshow
Which is why I push back against the idea that our social values are warped simply because we are poor.
The deeper problem is that good character is not consistently rewarded or respected, and bad character is not reliably shunned or punished.
