The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

I’d love to see a piece like this in @nytimes.com instead off brain dead neocon drivel from its tired stable of male opinion writers broligarchy.substack.com/p/is-this-th...

Hooked on dopamine, fuelled by testosterone, powered by AI: this is the broligarchs’ war Three weeks ago, briefly, the world was focused on Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of women and girls. Now, as conflict rages, the tide of hyper-masculinity has risen again, writes Carole Cadwalladr

β€œAI, like war, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power. But it’s nothing of the sort: it’s just a story, a myth, that’s being imposed on us by a self-interested cohort of unaccountable men succoured by a pliant and incurious press.”

It helps to think of practice as play. β€œPlactice.” Feels less risky; more fun.

β€œMy…advice is stop taking multivitamins, whether in pill or gummy form….eat a healthy, varied diet rich in fruit and vegetables….& do not waste your money on nutritional supplements. There are huge commercial interests in their consumption & lack of clinical evidence.”

Sunday thought: We will prevail Finding courage in a dark time

It’s been a hard week. If you’re feeling angry, you’re not alone. I see it in your comments. I’m struck by how you are fighting back against this tyranny, nonetheless.

You are giving me hope.

Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-we-will-prevail

The Dem base has no interest in Rahm Emanuel. He’s an out of touch centrist.
