'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher in c/[email protected]

I read this and thought something didn't add up. If all Tate ever did was disrespect women and treat them like property, nobody would care about him. Unsurprisingly, the truth is more complicated. See this for example.

The manosphere appeals to its audience because it speaks to the very real lives of young men [. . .] romantic rejection, alienation, economic failure, loneliness, and a dim vision of the future.

The major problem lies in its diagnosis of the cause of male disenfranchisement, which fixates on the impacts of feminism. Here it contrasts the growing challenges faced by men with the increasing social, economic and political success experienced by women. This zero-sum claim posits that female empowerment must necessarily equate to male disempowerment, and is evidenced through simplified and pseudoscientific theories of biology and socioeconomics.

If Tate's appeal is not addressed, things will get worse.

The CCP has the right idea this time. Do not negotiate with economic arsonists.

Actually, judging by its actions, the US has not abandoned climate action. It's the only way I can explain why it is planning the collapse of its own economy.

Russia is an empire. Straight up, 100%. It should be called the Russian Empire—not the Russian Federation.

(Reminder: "empire" is a bad word lol.)

There is no good android fork. Android is garbage. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to contribute to the OS or port a fork like lineageOS to a new phone. Even just compiling android is a massive pain in the ass. Mobile linux, like postmarketOS, is the clear way forward. And not on former android phones, but on phones with open hardware specs, specifically designed to work with mobile linux.
