@ErikUden just to clarify my overall intent here, I don't agree with Tate, his messaging, or the "alpha male" movement as a whole, I just believe that the left have a PR issue. We need to stop vilifying young men who are learning the way the world works and extend an olive branch.
@ErikUden To address your last paragraph, yes, those young men go out and seek advice, who do they listen to? "What did you do to deserve a compliment?" Or "that sucks bro, here's how we're getting girls"
@ErikUden I think when I hear about a group of people feeling alone and unloved, I don't question what they could have done to remedy that situation, or hypothesize the ways they brought that upon themselves, I just feel sympathy. I'm not sure that young men who are going through something like that would take too kindly to being told they are the problem. Nobody should educate like that.
@ErikUden i think immediately launching into the semantics of "get a girl" and turning it into a lesson about social imbalances and the dangers of toxic masculinity is exactly why some young men don't enjoy engaging with that community. Some people just want to share that feeling and get some camaraderie, it doesn't need to become a teachable moment.
@Numerfolt@Sar@ash I love Zen. Once you get past the initial learning curve it works and feels amazing. I recommend it solely because of the way you can organize and quickly switch between Tabs.

@catsalad Stremio is a terrible app that pirates use often, even worse when paired with a debrid service. Criminals can even load it on to smart tvs. Just awful
