Logically, declining testosterone is an existential issue. If you're a Low T soy creature, you will be left wing by default and always defer to the group because you're weak. If you're already on "The Right" you likely have decent T, but what about your children? Will you feed them processed slop to stick it to Raw Egg Nationalist?
What you have an issue with is political expediency. Chemicals are a "death by a thousand cuts" issue with subtle long-term effects, so it's not effective to build a coalition around. (However, getting chemicals out of your personal life is a more actionable goal than bargaining with a rigged system. Our power is in going around the system, not through it.)
I think it can be an onboarding experience. When I finally got to grips with diet some years ago it was a revelation to me. The standard food pyramid seemed not just wrong but catastrophically so. How could this promote good health?
That in turn prompted me to question more of what authorities or experts said in other domains. I know I am not alone in this. So who knows? With diet being so personal it can be quite the shock to even contemplate why things heavily promoted by the mainstream seem to be killing us.
No one is going to see that tweet or anything similar and lose sleep over it. At most, they’ll buy a bidet. This article is just as much hen-pecking as anything you pointed out -- totally contradictory.
I think the constant production of nonsense and non-issues in our thing is partially a product of where the discourse takes place, and partially a product of our powerlessness. Social media, by its nature, seems to create a deluge of informational garbage which, even if we acknowledge the pointlessness of most of it, still threatens to drown us. And our decidedly powerless position against the Leviathan means that in terms of politics (although NOT in other realms), we cannot do anything but theorise.
The right has gone from the old stodgy but reasonable and trustworthy family men to carnival freaks doing performative tricks for fleeting attention and acned schoolboys who are even more strangers to reality than their leftoid counterparts. I’m sorry to say, but it looks like we’re going to have to wander the desert a bit longer. Enjoy the heat and thirst - that’s the feeling of being corrected.
It's a strange phenomenon where people hype up random things into nebulous existential problems, often things we could not hope to solve at a systemic level without a large amount of power and influence, which we don't have.
The toilet paper one is a perfect example where it's not even something our personal choices can affect, and even if we had the organizational power to spare, there are more pressing issues even if it's a valid concern. It's just novel misery porn.
The only value I see in it is to feed the sentiment that "the current system is bad and here's another reason why", but it's questionable how useful that is at a point, especially in the thoughtspace of people who have already decide the current system must be challenged as it stands. It's usefulness would be if we could target it at people who yet believe the current order's trajectory is redeemable.
Which points at another reason for organization: information targeting. Simple weapons are economical and therefore something an underdog relies on, but simple weapons must be aimed well. Our gorilla information warfare we've been waging till now seems to need some amount of organized backing to help escape its quarantines.
I suspect narcissism plays its part. The narcissist persona is fake, it is a performance. All performances need audiences.
The visceral dislike of "right-wing" preoccupations for men, like lifting weights and discussing the endless details of good nutrition, negate the impact of a performance-based life as the end goal of such manly activities is resilience. The effect of resilience is independence, personal sovreignty. The independently minded individual pays no heed to the jibes of the herd, and the herd sense this indifference as well as the mental strength that resilience requires, all of which they lack.
1) Is this what God can be God? He is everywhere and fills the infinite number of niches yet holds them all together in the same reality?
2) I find it telling that most 'human' stories an enlightened or advanced elite always comes to the conclusion that they should naturally be in charge, regardless.
3) isn't this turning yourself off a reboot of achieving Nirvana; negation of self?
