    I don't understand this comic. White nationalism and penis size are unrelated, as far as I'm aware.

    A more serious interpretation is that men might try to compensate for their insecurity by being angry and hateful in an act of over-performative masculinity.

    Also, it’s just belittling white nationalists because they’re obviously losers and it’s fun to do so.

      Liberals must have huge elephant penises that nobody wants to fuck with.

      Centrism is where it's at.

        "Masculinity" isn't toxic on its own, "Toxic Masculinity" is a specific thing on its own.

        It's using the measuring stick of being "masculine enough" or "enough of a man" to harm someone else.

          The same people comparing their cars, bank accounts, houses, even their dogs and schools their children go to. to decide who is ""alpha"" and who is poor. Capitalist religion-induced issues.

                  Yes, but you didnt have status anxiety (i.e. if you can become anything you want if you work hard enough, why aren't you ""alpha"" yet?) and the prosperity gospel: "you deserve to be poor because you don't hustle enough at the altar of crapitalism".

                      Leftists bodyshaming men to criticize their fascism is some real regressive shit. It's also super off-the-mark. Bodyshaming harms all men, not just the fascists.

                        I don't, no, not really. Make up is heavily advertised, and makeup companies have a vested interest in stoking those insecurities to increase their sales. On the dick-size side of things, you have a few surgeons I guess? Some scammy mobile game ads? But the vast, vast majority of people who aren't fuck-it rich just live with it, the only viable market for that shit is other capitalists, which makes me inclined to think that dick-size insecurities are much more organic.

                        Hypothesis: if we abolish capitalism and make the transition to socialism and communism, people will still be self conscious about their dick-size, because this particular self-consciousness probably pre-dates society itself

                          👌🏼 is used as a sign for white nationalists. Now I believe it.

                          Just help them along and let them have it: cooperate with your fellow white nationalists by following their direction on culture.
                          So docile.

                              I believe the OK one was just 4chan going

                              "lol, the left is so gullible if we say the OK sign is a sign of white nationalists, they'll publish it". Of course the reality is, when they sent it out, the actual white nationalists saw it and started using it.

                              which is kind of the thing that they do. Just like pepe.. to my knowledge the original author doesn't seem to be a bad guy. Meme itself was used in non horrible ways for years. But today you see someone join something with a pepe avitar or similar... you know there's a 90% chance that whatever community you are in is about to get a test of how they react to the racial slurs that are about to come up.

                              Or you know you can go to the most famous and talked about ones. IE that symbol of good fortune that existed in countless peaceful cultures for thousands of years.

                              Yup, as long as there's a group of people with a shared understanding, any symbol can be compromised. All it takes is the right context for understanding.

                                Communism failed horribly, don't put words in my mouth. Conspicuous consumption, planned obsolescence, manufactured demand, etc is taking longer, but it will fail too eventually.

                                      But in Calvinism you couldn't do anything about it, in the prosperity gospel, it is your fault, because you don't belive enough, so you should try harder.

                                        It's actually from earlier than that (Locke, Smith later, yes), but it only became unmanageable after we found cheap energy in the industrial revolution, which made the human element mostly trivial.

                                          Smith wrote in the 18th century. Locke, as I recall, never did much with economics
