    Because their dads were abusive authoritarians, so they have daddy issues.

      This isn’t an excuse they’re just weak. Many have authoritarian fathers or parents and come out vowing to never be like that or support that behavior.

        Those ones often found better role models or support groups outside the home, such as friends, teachers, etc.

        The ones who don’t find that have far less opportunity to experience the growth required to break the cycle.

      I can’t find it now, but I once read an article that said that bc patriarchy devalues women and our opinions and centers men, it results in straight (and non straight men I suppose) centering other men in their lives. Since only men’s opinions matter, men do everything for the approval of other men, usually the “manliest” man. For example, “trophy wives” are usually more about showing off to other men rather than bc the husband actually wants to be married to or is even super attracted to her. Or some men will pretend to not be attracted to a woman if their male friends have deemed her unattractive. Basically, they have done studies on it and if you search for homosexual desire and patriarchy you can find some (though I can’t find the specific one I’m thinking of)

    Fear.

    They rally around figures who look strong because they’re afraid of losing social status, or feeling xenophobia due to racism, or insecure over economic concerns. As always, everything is projection with these dipshits. They let fear drive them into the sort of groupthink mob they accuse liberals of being.

      I sorta understand, I guess. But having president whatshisnuts as your figure of manhood is already a joke in itself, but elevating him to a messiah like figure is just crazy.

        Helps if your world view is shaped by people who are continually telling you that he’s a figure of manliness, while continually playing off your fear and insecurity for profit and political gain.

    The German philosopher Hannah Arendt asked herself a very similar question when, during the trial of Nazi official and war criminal Adolf Eichmann, she attempted to understand how a human being could be capable of such monstrous atrocities. In this context, she coined the term “banality of evil.”

    It is very worth taking a look at her book “Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil,” because her observations in it are, unfortunately, once again highly relevant today.

    It’s simple. They are super insecure guys and want to feel big, so they are assholes to women because women are easy targets. They drive massive trucks, love to BBQ and watch sports with other insecure men, but at the same time they lack any real identity and are completely lost without their mommy to take them by their hand. But mommy is a woman, and having your mommy to care for your insecure ass looks stupid to your friends, so you just follow another screaming asshole so you look touch yourself (you do not, you’re a sad piece of garbage and everyone sees it).

        The idea that eating dead, half burned animals makes you more of a man. While in fact most meat comes from female animals and is full of estrogen.

        If you want proof it’s stupid, listen to RFK jr. his advice. He has an almost full meat diet. Anything this guy says, you should do the exact opposite.

        I’m a vegan but I’m not judging people who eat meat. I do however judge people who only do it to compensate their micropenis, to act like they’re a real man. While they can’t even drill a hole in a wall, repair a dripping tap or patch a bicycle tire.

        That was my question. I’m working on a brisket as we speak and I don’t plan on watching sports, wearing a red hat, or treating any women like shit.

        I also have a truck that I haul shit in, but notice I don’t feel the need to ask what’s wrong with that. I know very fucking well what’s wrong with trucks.

        I like to BBQ too, although no longer with meat.

        Not every person who likes to BBQ immediately is an insecure asshole. It’s just that insecure assholes like to BBQ to feel manly.

    1. Belief in the concept of an “alpha male” necessitates having a strongman leader.
    2. Bootlickers need a boot to lick.
    source
    • Ghostie@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The problem with the whole “alpha male” leader nonsense in modern age is those leaders are supposed to protect the group, potentially to the death, as the trade off for the status. Most of the goobers stepping up to insert themselves in that role aren’t doing it for a group, just for the desire for the status alone. So really it’s just a bunch of entitled assholes that will sell the group out and run in a heartbeat as soon as they are faced with fulfilling their end of the bargain.

      source
      • RadioEthiopiate@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        I don’t disagree that it’s about status/power/etc., but they’re doing it for a group, just not our group. If you wanna be part of the 1% you gotta fuck the 99%.

        To paraphrase Carlin, it’s a big club and we’re not in it.

    Because part of conservatism is the idea that hierarchies based on who your parents are, and the fact that you’re male, etc. are proper and right.

    They want to submit to the people who are correctly above them in the hierarchy, and want the people who are supposed to be below them in the hierarchy to submit to them.

    Because they are weak pissants with no nation, creed, or honor simply following the authority who makes them feel good about themselves. It’s kinda pathetic ain’t it? This is why I force myself to be ambivalent to all authority who aren’t part of my kin, kith, or clan by default since you can’t manipulate me with funny feelings because I already didn’t give a damn.

    Or maybe I’m just from a culture that has been dealing with cultists for so long that some of us have built in anti-cult practices. Kinda a chicken and egg scenario.
