Just need a tight deadline or a bad performance review to fix that right up

It's probably still a lot more uncommon than being uncircumcised because "well I guess it should look like mine or most of the others"

I mean it's very common for fat men to be nicknamed "gordo" ie fatty. Of course it's ignorant but definitely not meant offensively.

I grew up with those words being common and I hope they don't come back in any form. They're very damaging even to straight males. But I'm sure as long as there's a counter culture they won't go away.

Case in point, I've been getting really into Latin dance, taking group classes, taking private classes, etc. the people that I see dance that look amazing are having a lot of fun with the dance and the music, the body movements, everything. When I try to move a certain way with my hips there's this fucking voice in my head that's snickering saying "gay" and if I can get out of my own fucking head and just feel the music, feel myself and connect with who I'm dancing with I have a great time and I get a lot of compliments. I hate that even when I know it's wrong and even completely illogical the fear of being perceived as feminine or weak is something that I have to struggle with on a personal level.

I think it's formed if you cope hard enough to believe in us vs them (as in believing there's a fundamental difference between you and people you disagree with) and also tap into fear(these people aren't just different, they want to take what you have and everything you value) then you can take pleasure in other people's suffering. it's disgusting and I fear most of the country is no longer capable of empathy

I agree on the "weak" part, being able to empathize with orders requires that you be able to admit your own faults, but I think empathy is actually a high-intellect ability. It's deeper than being just uninformed.

Roasting is how they know you care

I don't know what the point is that you're making. No one is saying this is something that's new, but the example you used, Guantanamo Bay has like 15 prisoners now? Are you saying this should be regarded as commonplace?

I want to say that's a young person thing but I'm not really sure. I know the world would be a much better place if say Alan Watts was a household name instead of Andrew Tate.

There isn't anything wrong with a traditional worldview but it certainly doesn't fit most modern relationships. Either way I think all young men go through an idiot phase where it's easier to complain about the systems in place then to be introspective and improve yourself. I'm saying most people usually go through a redpill phase and if they are able to sympathize then it's usually a short phase. The bigger worry for me is that it seems a larger and larger amount of men are unable to sympathize with others.
