this discussion has come up before and it remains dumb af to me
you have to change the material conditions that push people to "hide their emotions" or however you want to describe it
its not just about choosing the "right mindset"
Yeah but it might be smart to look more into this and instead of mocking this just see the real content
I mean... The left has the problem of being hard to like at first if you don't genuinely wake up one day with similar views
The right on the other hand makes a great job at smuggling their real views behind jokes and easy to understand memes
It requires thinking to build empathy and if you're a 14yo boy and your YouTube feed is full of "Sigma Male destroys gay beta" videos with strong characters from movies it's just super easy to follow that path irl
I might be looking too much into this because some of those videos are the opposite of harmless. I've just seen some of them that were straight up homophobic and were far from funny
i read a good reddit post about this but basically the right-wing ideals are easier to sell to ppl compared to the left because you don’t really have to self-reflect and critically think
the entire premise of right-wing views is that the way things are (in terms of oppressing other groups and general hierarchy) is fine and that the people arguing for change and progression are crazy
lmao do u not get the joke?
the butt of the joke is sigma males and all the other greek alphabet believers. This meme is making fun of and discouraging the behavior u think it's supporting.
It's funny because it's like tongue in cheek, making fun of pick up artists and "alpha male" s*** that dominated the talking spaces of young men for like do much of the internet

Exactly
I don't know why there's just something in the leftist ideas that makes it so easy for younger people to turn against
I'm superduper left-wing and I remember being a kid and making fun of leftists even tho I didn't know what it even meant at that time
Right-wingers like to scream how they are silenced and s*** but it's just super f***in easy to reject change
Left-wing progressives are the ones that have to fight for attention and for people to really hear what they are saying
That's why I'm super sensitive when it comes to "dark humor" or s*** like that
Racist or homophobic jokes are not funny at all when there are real people thinking being black or gay means you don't deserve to live

Little kids don’t like being told what to do or what’s appropriate
I remember this guy made a hype video celebrating his subscriber count or something, s*** really motivated me
