bouh , to Men's Liberation in Why men feel like they can't abandon Masculinity

I feel like external pressure is only half the problem. It is important but IMO the role model is also a problem. Non toxic masculinity is often describe in the negative of the toxic masculinity : you're good when you are not toxic, not when you are something positive.

In some way it is less restrictive, but in other way it is missing the model.

The other side of this coin is the corruption of the ideal that lead to nihilism. Toxic masculinity corrupts ideals. Violence is strength. Protecting is necessarily the destruction of the threat. Independence is power. Smart is manipulation and deception. Everything is to be seen through a lens of domination and power. And that is the core of the problem.

Instead, a model is to be seen with any quality, but through another lens. Strength can help the weak. Smart can disarm an explosive situation. Power is to be shared and used wisely. Basically, a model opposite to the toxic masculinity can be many things with all the qualities of the virility, but the difference is that they will be used and targeted differently. And for many people, it is to be learnt through a model.

This is a core problem because for many people, if you tell them to drop the toxic behaviour, there will be nothing left to aim for, nothing for them to transform into.

And this goes back to the social validation you're talking about. Going from toxic to positive requires a transformation so that the qualities someone has can be positive instead of negative, but as qualities they can still be praised and admired.

As far as I know, conservative of both Europe and America are keen on banning abortion these days.

Hey France has a lesson for you: 2 years ago the liberals called the left to vote for them in order to prevent the far right from getting elected.

For 2 years the liberals governed with the leaning to far right - right. The far right applauded many of their policies.

This Sunday the far right went first in the European election, because the left was a bunch of clowns and everyone hates the liberal government.

1h after the results, the Liberal president Macron disbanded the parliament. Now there are 3 weeks to elect a new parliament. He also opted for a vote that favors the biggest, so the far right is favoured, and there's no time for a campaign and barely enough time for the left to unite. The president is also still saying on TV that the left is just as bad and as extreme as the far right.

We didn't see it coming, but the liberal who pretended he would fight the far right is the first accelerationist in France. It is chaos right now, and the far right has never been so close from being in power in France since 1944. The 5th Republic is almost a presidential regime btw, so if the far right has the power, it'll be very dirty.

Trust the liberals they said, it's better than the far right...

The glory of a two parties system. The liberals even call this democracy.

bouh , to Ukraine in Russia's Kharkiv offensive – what is the plan?

I would like for Russia to fail miserably, but HERE I'm afraid it's not as stupid as it could. Ukraine is notoriously low on ammunitions, so extending the active front line can deplete those supplies faster. I would expect Russia to try to deplete those supplies in order to force the front line where a shortage appears first. And they need to do it before the supplies come from the US, which is already starting to come. So it's basically a window of opportunity.

If they concentrated on one place only, the Ukrainian supplies would last much longer.

I expect the massive Russian offensive to slow down in June once the US supply lines are established again.

But maybe I'm wrong. If Russia continues to push hard like this through June and after, I'll be wrong. Unless they try to really push through western supplies themselves. That would be insane but possible I guess.

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

So you don't ridiculise your country by promoting freedom of trade but seizing the assets of the countries you don't like when it's a better tech than yours.

I'm not sucking any corporation. Many people here are licking USA ass though. In support of a shameless imperialist move.

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

The expropriation of tools of communication, with the aim of controlling them...

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

What kind of brainwashed supporter can you be to say such thing? This is about freedom of speach and right of property, the things supposedly sacred in the USA.

USA is merely demonstrating its hypocrisy here.

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

Ah yes, the famous "you're free as long as you obey me". Totally not imperialism.

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

You're free to do what your government tells you I guess, exactly like the chineese I guess...

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

Which is somehow even worse : it's like only the USA is allowed to spy on everyone!

bouh , to Political Memes in It's only okay when MY favorite country does it.

So China is fascist because it bans your tools. Now you ban china's tools. What do you think this means?

Yes, it means you're fascist too.

bouh , to Fediverse in Lemmy.ml is acting as a proxy instance for Hexbear and should be defederated by any instances that defederate from Hexbear

Sure, so tankies are everywhere on lemmy, and I'm probably one apparently, but no definition will be given...
