  • The rise of the manosphere is a deliberate ploy by the billionaire class to divide young people.

    Before about 2-3 years ago, capitalists had a problem. This problem was that each generation was becoming more progressive and more socialist than the last. That was the case with millennials and was also continuiing to be the case with zoomers. For that, they needed a solution. The solution was in the manosphere. If they could brainwash young men into becoming misogynists, they would create a fissure between young men and women and provide a means of bringing men to the right and therefore away from socialism and to the service of the billionaire class. So they pumped out a lot of money promoting these manosphere influencers, manipulated the algorithms, ran bot farms until they got the result that they wanted.

    Succeed at capitalism? That’s a fool’s errand. Better to point them to the real enemy which is the bourgeoisie and the real solution which is for the working class to form democratic organizations aimed at overthrowing the ruling class and form worker led democratic ways of organizing society.


  • Manosphere men fall pray to the XY problem: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem?wprov=sfla1.

    They demand the X which is a girlfriend and money in order to solve problem Y which is a lack of social connectedness and decreasing standards of living.

    They believe themselves entitled to X because of that. Actually, everyone (including Manosphere men) is entitled to a solution to Y which affects everyone appart from the bourgois (who still lack social connectedness) but the solution to that is Z which is a wholesale restructuring of our society and economy to one that is maximally democratic and socialist.

    “2Sure Finland’s female-led coalition party is not feminists according to YOU<br> https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-55020994

    If you see feminism as every time there are women in government, why do you oppose feminism?

    “So pro-left they are & yet so pro-war”

    They’re a right-wing austerity government but I’ll bite, which war are you talking about?

    “TERFs are a thing too”

    Sure, I never said all feminists are left-wing. There are reactionary strands of feminism (if we accept that they are indeed feminists) such TERFs for example. My point is that feminism is not a monolith and the bulk of it is left-wing.

    “The feminists do not oppose the draft.”

    Correction: A country right next to an expansionist dictatorship does not oppose the draft. I’ll probably get shouted at buy when you are right next to a country like Russia, the draft is a necessary evil.

    “(Finland has a male-only draft & wants to join NATO which totally a defensive alliance)”

    Perhaps the draft should be extended to women. In any case, irrelevant to your “point” about feminism.
