@sickburnbro So begins the saga of Steve Girlgetter, football legend and hero of two worlds...
I'd do it if I had a lick of talent.

@white_male We have a system which is massively defended against hard men.
A smart tactic is to fight where your enemy has no defense.

@sickburnbro That is quintessential bitch mentality, that's how we get where we are, women grade thinking and choices.
I always though we need hard men making though choices and leading people through them towards long term benefit.

@white_male @sickburnbro I think the point is the prevalence of what VoxDay called "Gamma" or "secret king" behavior is the default in pop culture, and we need to model aspirational stuff so people can see how an example besides [Dweeb outsmarts jock and saves the day]. The normalization of revenge of the nerds type stuff is an external social signal to low effort dweebs that they don't need to try, when reality is the opposite.

@BowsacNoodle @white_male yeah, revenge of the nerds shit is extremely poisonous.

@sickburnbro You'll end up with a fag. In practice, we already have some of these genetic lottery winners. People disconnected from average reality simply by their stance in society, most of them are objective failures. It's a natural distribution thing.

@white_male This is the same vibe I feel from the chirstians who said "don't fight a culture war, we're better than them"

@white_male This isn't for you, this isn't for me. This is to promulgate ideas and make them sticky.

@white_male @BowsacNoodle This isn't a "choose a priority" time. There are no immediately effective areas where resources can be put.

@sickburnbro @BowsacNoodle Lmao, why are you immediately reaching for the opposite extreme, which is instinctively equally bad. If an "alpha archetype" makes it, fine, but it seems to me you're choosing the wrong priority here.

@sickburnbro @BowsacNoodle The failure of the podcast rage pig race is the ultimate picture of the failure you'll reach with such a "compromise". This is what career politician routinely exploit. This is how mass media creates and breaks over achieving people, fucking popularity contest. Cool kids club of governance. We just have to put our "pretty" guy in power. ;]

@white_male @sickburnbro Brother, this might just be us talking past each other.

@trjjb @white_male the proper version of this is "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
But that also doesn't mean that if you need to get a pig in a pen, you shouldn't do it. Just be smart about it.

@sickburnbro @white_male My schizo father drilled into my head the idea of "don't fight with shit, because you'll get covered in it", which sounded really profound and ascendant to my 10 yo brain.
Putting it into practice, however, yielded terrible results, and only after many humiliating encounters had I realized how big of an inept retard that man is, despite the few nuggets of real wisdom he imparted unto me.
You don't get to decide who is your enemy, that's their choice to make.
