Unmensch

When I meet a woman who seems interesting enough that I’d maybe like to pursue a relationship with, the first thing I do is shoot myself in the foot and completely disavow her of any notion that I might actually be a man. Can’t have her believing any of that nonsense.

Of course, sabotaging myself and walking away is probably the most man-like thing I could do.

Maybe the regressive desire for a fossil fuel society goes with an intuitive response to the complexity of our period.

Here is Cara Daggett’s feature article on the subject: https://autonomy.work/portfolio/petro-masculinity-climate-refusal/

Petro-masculinity and the politics of climate refusal

Writer in Residence Cara Daggett explores how 'climate refusal' is being created by new violent forms of petro-masculinity.

The Autonomy Institute

“The authoritarian practices required by fossil capital in the global south [and middle east] were often geographically separated from liberal forms of governance in the West. This made it possible for many… to remain ignorant of their complicity in fossil authoritarianism.”

"In the US post-war economy, fossil fuel systems functioned as the means to becoming a real man - if burning them entailed violence, this was constructed as an unfortunate side effect to be made invisible to privileged consumers. But fossil fuels have become a dead end, both for the planet and for the goal of middle-class jobs. In this context, burning fossil fuels can come to function as a knowingly violent experience, a reassertion of white masculine power on an unruly planet that is perceived to be increasingly in need of violent, authoritarian order."

Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection

As boys become men, they become distrustful, lose friendships, and feel isolated and alone.

A quotation from Shakespeare

MALCOLM: Be comforted.
   Let’s make us med’cines of our great revenge,
   To cure this deadly grief.
MACDUFF: He has no children. All my pretty ones?
   Did you say “all”? O hell-kite! All?
   What, all my pretty chickens and their dam
   At one fell swoop?
MALCOLM: Dispute it like a man.
MACDUFF: I shall do so,
   But I must also feel it as a man.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Macbeth, Act 4, sc. 3, l. 252ff (4.3.252-261) (1606)

🧵 4/4 System Fix 3 & Conclusion

3. Naming-the-Feelings Protocol: If you can't name the emotion, you can't process it.

Action: Expand your emotional vocabulary beyond "fine" or "mad." Use terms like: frustrated, reflective, overwhelmed, grateful.

Fix: This builds a high-resolution emotional OS. When you process grief instead of just anger, you initiate the correct system repair process.

Final Thought: Restoring emotional capacity is the ultimate system upgrade!

It is not unmanly to feel—it is the deepest integrity. The strongest man has full emotional capacity.

What genuine emotion did the industrial system force you to label as "weak"?
