    “It’s about time the masculine energy in this country is ascendant,” he proclaimed. “I’m not defending what this kid allegedly did. I am defending young men holding up old glory, getting out there in the streets, and saying, we’re not going to take this anymore.”

    So, what the hell is he defending then? What exactly about the incident exudes “masculine energy”?

      The masculine energy of a rather hung dick called “old glory” that cannot be taken except by the most masculine of men who are out in the streets.

      Gay butt stuff, obvs.

      Rofl not going to take what anymore? Thinking? Feeling? Being a mature and functional adult in a democracy?

        Exactly. Republicans won’t stand for any of that.

        Not that they stood for any of that in the past few decades.

      But when men go out there and defend Palestinians they aren’t doing this? It’s not masculine to stand up for what you believe there?

        Eh, depends on who you ask. Personally, no, this isn’t masculine. People are standing up for what they believe, and more importantly, their resolve come a place of empathy. Merely standing up for what you believe doesn’t warrant much praise, imho, especially if your beliefs are demonstrably false.

    Somehow YouTube algorithm showed me this dumbass’s video that was something like “Charlie Kirk destroys a college student with a great comeback”. I think I lost brain cells by watching it even halfway. His argument for being smart, even though he didn’t finish college, was naming couple of guys that the student might not know and saying how he got rich.

    “But to the left… he’s a young white man, so it’s worth destroying his life."

    I had to scroll back up, because I thought he’d been kicked out of the university. Nope, he was just kicked out of the frat. Oh no, he might have to stay in a dorm or apartment, it’s the end of the world!

    “And they’re trying to destroy the rise of the frat boys,” he added.

    Um… good? Why would I care about frat boys? My university didn’t even have frats, and I somehow managed to graduate anyway.

      Correct, this is the politics community. That’s why I didn’t post it in the news community.
