I might be totally off base or this discourse has been discoursed already. I can’t help but notice the sheer and almost coordinated effort on social media to highlight things like male loneliness epidemic, general gender war bullshit, mAn Vs wOMaN lately.
These posts, along with the general upwards trend of minority hate, feel like they serve to ignite a sort of male chauvinism in the USA. I can’t help but feel like the whole endgame here is to groom men into the sort of ideology that would justify fighting in a future war (or hell, even just Iran).
Sorry if my writing is sloppy I did not take the time to draft this post and think about it holistically before posting…
Yes exactly, the Lindsay Clancy stuff is really highlighting this for me. I can’t help myself but see people discuss this online and it is utterly infuriating and pointless to read through every time. People care way too much about this stupid case and I just cannot genuinely believe that there isn’t some kind of coordinated effort by someone to keep adding fuel to that fire. It’s like the entire Americasphere has utterly no clue what psychosis is, and some of the ones that do, want to speedrun the trial to life imprisonment because their poor feelings are bruised (for some reason?) and just can’t fathom the concept of… a trial?
Splash in an unhealthy level of viewing trials like some kind of fun puzzle that we all need to be a part of so we can “crack the case” together and sprinkle in some agents of chaos who want to be contrarian and stir the pot. Then of course it’s all mixed into the usual dysfunction of the American mindset. It really is a perfect spectacle.
