I do not use the word pathetic lightly, and that is why I am applying it to the subject of the so-called men's rights movement. Oh, and just to clarify, when I say "so-called" I mean "bullshit". Never in my thirty five years on this planet have I seen such a huge collection of bumbling idiots take pride in such an incredibly stupid notion, that being that women somehow control men. Of course this is a conspiracy theory with no real evidence, but I have already establish that statistics mean nothing to conspiracy theorists. So, instead of trying to convince an idiot that they are incorrect, let us decipher how they play their deceptive games so we can avoid their lunacy, and deflate their inflammatory nature. Their rhetoric is blunt, brute and simple, much like that of a white nationalist, who they openly admitted to working for by the way. That is not speculation. That was admitted to by members of the organization in confidential interview with Open Democracy. And, of course, I suppose I am to believe that this was somehow organized by the left to dupe me into getting a vaccine, or a computer chip, or whatever... Yet, somehow, according to MRAs, that's men's rights activists, these people who are taking us over are all "feminazis", a term invented somewhere between Bill Burr and Tucker Carlson. Who knows the actual origin? I have no clue. I am sure that some half-wit like Jordan Petersen coined the term in some dry book. I only know the term for what it is, a direct jab at the women's rights movement that has brought women closer to equality. This equality reviles MRAs; they see it as if, now that women are equal to men, men now have nothing, and therefore are unequal to women. It is an extremely selfish and childish way of dealing with your problems, to simply project hatred of the people who have wronged you, the corporations, onto another group who had no direct intention of harming you. There is no collective feminist coup. This rumor has been passed around the republican party for years, and it is getting old at this point. The fact of the matter is that you have to work a lot in life, and it is just too much for most people. Most people cannot sustain that. But we should not wear that as a badge of honor; we should relax the pressures of economic hardship so that we can all share in prosperity in the way in which we choose. However, we should do so in a way that uplifts us all, not that further divides us. Shall we let the doctrine of soapbox evangelicals and autocratic propagandists become our guiding light? I think an emphatic absolutely not is in order. We will not play the game of those who seek to destroy us. This inflammatory rhetoric is effective. It causes a passion in the mind of a conspiracy theorist or a fatalist that action is required or else the world will be doomed to torture in eternal fire. If you have never felt the entitlement and sense of urgency that comes along with being a member of the right wing then you will never understand their politics. Perhaps obtaining christian dominance upon the earth seems a bit extreme to the average believer...at first. However, through a steady pattern of propaganda, it is possible to erode the moral fabric of a nation in such a way that said nation launches a war upon itself. In order to combat this propaganda, we must continue to report the horrors of the world to those who would deny them. We must work together to squash the popular treasonous attitude of the right in this nation. You must understand that the only thing the conservatives understand is imminent danger. Thus, anything that becomes their enemy, in this case women, is targeted for destruction. The surge in violent crimes and sexual abuse that you are seeing is not just a bunch of women complaining about men having fun. It has been directly influenced and orchestrated by the right wing groups to tear apart our liberal institutions, and our democracy. Thanks for the Image by Ben Wicks.
