@sickburnbro @c This is a good point. There is no real standard either way, because it would be crimethought to even think of defining one.
By either way, I mean it goes both ways. There's absolutely no clear standard as to what you can say and what will get you cancelled, and it not only changes every year, it also can vary from day to day or even whatever the current seasonal trend is.
At least in most totalitarian dictatorships it was pretty obvious what could or could not be said. You can just shut up about those things. But there's no subject whatsoever that one can safely talk about. -

@racs @sickburnbro @c > For all the faults of the left, they know how to properly boycott and vote with their wallet.
No, they do not. The difference is they have institutional support. The reality is boycotts do not matter. Actual consequences are *always* top down. Same with protests. Protests have zero effect if they are not approved from the top, and are quickly dispatched and the people in them arrested if necessary.
Meanwhile if a protest is approved, you will be the one arrested for defending yourself from their violence, and they will get away with anything. It's top-down violence disguised as grassroots. Just like boycotts are never grassroots movements when they succeed. -

@alex It's just a thought I had right now, I wrote it on a whim. Could've been shorter and better had I put some time into it. Sorry about that. -

Whenever someone tells you, as a man, that it's okay to cry in public and talk about your feelings, they don't have your best interests in mind. They're gaslighting you, and I realized that it's the male equivalent of telling a fat woman she is pretty.
Everyone knows it's not true, but they say it because it makes them feel better and more of a good person for saying it. It's pure gaslighting.
No one respects a man who is a crybaby. No one.
A man can be emotional in private, but you owe it to those around you, especially the women around you, to be strong, and to be like a rock they can lean on.
If you aren't your woman's rock she will find someone else who can be.
Whining literally solves nothing. Find solutions to your real problems if you have real problems or man up.
If you have to vent, do it with your close friends, and stay dignified while doing it.
Moderating and controlling your emotions is important, at all times. It means respecting those around you, and not treating them like your emotional toilet.
Controlling one's emotions is not what gets someone bottled up with anger. If anything, indulging in anger without control just makes you do that more. It's an addiction.
No, resentment builds when you are unable to DO anything about what is making you angry. Talking won't solve it.
