LEFT VS RIGHT: VIRGINIA HATE GROUP RALLY

pavlove

The alt-right got the attention they wanted today as the news media lit up with violent photos of the hate group rally and counter protests in Virginia. With so much violence and hate, it's hard to see the political conversation behind it all. Yet, even something so horrific as this can be broken down into "GAG" terms. by this i mean it can be seen under the light of the sort of topics that are usually broken down on the site...

Are white males dealing with an outdated sense of masculinity connected to racial and gender superiority?

The most obvious thing to attack male based hate groups is that a large part of their members seem to be men who don't get laid very often, are generally beta, and don't do well financially. Their life sucks and so they are looking for someone to blame. They are frustrated with themselves and so they are pointing the finger at people who are "the problem." in other words women are to a sexually frustrated male what jews were to germans in the third reich. they are the reason for their unhappiness and by doing something to them it follows that the "hurt" party will do better.

The problem with this is that women are very active in hate groups and are complicit of hatred on a mass level in mainstream culture. But even more so than this, these groups are larger than just the fringes. A lot of white people feel like they're treated like crap, like no one cares about them, and that it generally sucks to be a rural American and no one seems to care how much it sucks (except donald trump who somehow cares about the little farm people in his humongous golden tower.)

White males who are a part of hate groups feel frustrated obviously, but I think its more a matter of frustration with not being heard, cared about, or listened to than trying to reform the very structure of society. Of course, the deeper they get into the hate group that is what they become--those who want to hurt others in order to hopefully bring themselves up in the pecking order, but for most i think its just general sadness and neglect by society...

Is it an oxymoron to be a conservative woman?

One thing that seems to confuse a lot of liberal guys is how so many women seem on board with a system that makes them the inferior gender. many conservative women will outright say they believe that women's roles are to support men, not to lead. They desire a man who can lead the family, make the rules, and have the strength internally to do what should be done the right way based on his own male conviction. in other words provide protect and lead her and their children.

The left brings up an interesting issue that the right doesn't seem inclined to want to answer. So, i'll answer for them. It is not illogical to want to be led or be in the support role. Leadership comes with a lot of responsibilities and in many ways the vast majority of us are supporters rather than leaders. We sell ourselves to a system that takes care of us rather than break free and have to deal with all the crap that comes with it. Women who voluntarily choose to be conservative are simply women who choose to be in the support role and think that other women who would be happier in that role.

At the same time, a conservative woman who feels her ability to be that supporter is being challenged and threatened by "the left" will often become a bit militant in her desire to support a patriarchy that deals with the issue in violent ways. they become violent as well but because they are supporters they aren't front and center in the photographs. They're at home waiting to show love to their men for marching for their conservative system or they're in the back of the line supporting from the ground level.

Do white males deserve sympathy?

This extends largely to men in general but since the rally was so race based I'll include white in it. The question the left presents is that white males are so privileged by society that it makes so sense to give them extra concern. The right says that this is not always the case and now its the left who is not inclined to give an answer in return.

Everyone deserves sympathy because everyone's struggles are relative to their respective lives. The rich deserve sympathy because they experience the same level of pain lets say when they go through a divorce as when an impoverished mother has to see her children ration out a meal that isn't even big enough for one person. Objectively they are not equal but if we could monitor and measure emotional pain (we can) then it would come up the almost the same in the brain. It isn't fair or logical to say that white men can't experience culturally based shame or frustration simply because they are not the recipients of racism. White men have historically been listened to by mainstream society and to suddenly stop being listened to would piss anyone off.

At the same time, as a man i find it empowering to be reminded that I have all the power in my dating life. Dating is not always easy and its even easier to allow myself to think that all women are against me sometime, that women are generally cruel in dating, that many use it as a means to achieve what they want at the expense of what i want.

This is not true or at least it doesn't carry the weight that I occasionally might feel it does. First of all, its a glass half empty mentality to look at the negatives in women instead of the positives or to look at the hateful bitter women instead of the ones who are at least kind and polite both to those men they are and are not attracted to. Second, as a man, I don't have the opposite gender constantly trying to take something from me. I more or less lead all of my interactions with them. I should be more focused on the negatives and positive of my own tribe (men) for its the competition with them that can sometimes make dating feel so frustrating. We oversaturate the market. we create arrogance in women. we shame one another for not being more successful which creates inferiority complexes etc. etc. The point is that while white men have a lot of problems and concerned they are largely problems that society has given them to deal with themselves. Still, it's nice when somebody cares when you're having a hard time and thats one thing politicians of both parties have forgotten to do with their respective constituents.
