wander // doei feel like anyone who talks about how we need a 'leftist joe rogan' or 'leftist andrew tate' is completely overlooking the fact that rogans and tates are popular for exactly the same reasons they're not leftist.
the markers of wealth and the markers of patriarchal power *are* the reason they're popular. the misogyny is the point.
if you can't flash a rolex, a lambo, and pretty women fawning over you then you're never going to reach the audiences those guys are reaching — and if you *can* flash a rolex and a lambo and pretty women fawning over you then the chances of a leftist messaging coming through are very low.
