I love that there are before and after photos. Someone saw that, knew exactly how it would end, and instead of telling the guy, took a picture, then waited in the parking lot for the inevitable results. 💀
Might have told them. Many people take unsolicited advice as an attack, and refuse to listen, thinking they know better.
I agree with the post. I’d say most issues can be followed back to fragile masculinity. Masculinity specifically for historic reasons.
I do pity those so devoid of self-esteem. I hate the fact they’re manipulable sheep that vote, but I understand where it’s coming from. I’m sad for them that they’ll never find contentment where they’re looking for it.
How can it be changed? Their votes ruin society.
They need a hug and to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. The identity of masculinity, the prohibition of displaying or feeling any emotion (other than anger), maybe is what contributes to people being underdeveloped husks. They’re empty shells and the way they didn’t learn to deal with emotions. Lashing out and compensating by “having” (things, people, being feared [‘respect’ to them]) because it makes them feel powerful. But real power is knowing who you are, being able to connect with yourself and others. They’re not allowed that, though. Connection requires being vulnerable and having a strong enough sense of self to not be threatened by that.
