   I think "the tech industry needs more masculine energy" is the most multilayered delusion I've heard this millennia

     In April 2024, a far-right Brazilian federal representative gave a speech in which he stated "This country needs men with testosterone."

     Zuckerberg is not alone and is adopting a far-right discourse

     @jasmine maybe it's not worth it to begin anywhere at all, anyone who gets it gets it already, anyone who needs it spelled out will be very exhausting :cirno_cry:
     
     I'd ask who said it in the first place but people like that give off such horrible sleazy vibes that I'm probably avoiding them already.

     there's nothing inherently wrong with healthy masculine energy. I'm in my third year transitioning and slowly starting to figure out what that is and what it means to me, and how it can be a part of my best possible self.

     but… oh gods where do I even begin.

     clacke repeated this.

     when a tech bro with too much money to avoid sycophants says a bunch of superficial, insightless and even outright confused gender stuff, I think it's silly and nonsensical to assume that he's being clever and business-smart and that he's just pandering to a puerile audience and that he doesn't actually believe all the weird stuff that he's saying.

     they're not that clever about gender. they're too busy being successful at capitalism and kyriarchy to think about stuff that actually means something to anyone.

     the world would be a better place if rich white guys could be listened to and taken at face value, and thoroughly ignored whenever appropriate.

     please remember that "facebook" is the name of a website where male students could rate the faces of female students. the inceldom has been right there in plain sight right in front of us all the time. the level of clever in calling a parent company "meta" is not adult.

     these people are not actually good at anything worthwhile. they're just high-functioning bullies.

     Individual contributors at a megacorp I carry somewhat less of a grudge against simply because their management is hot garbage. Unfortunately, landlord and mortgage holders don't accept moral purity in lieu of dollars.

     Everyone has to figure out their line of what let's them sleep at night, and earlier in my career when I had fewer good options, I worked for an awful megacorp too.

     He's of the spit and dance on his grave variety, and maybe do worse.
