As I said in my latest, non-men can also participate in the Leftist Manosphere. As bell hooks used to say 'Patriarchy has no gender'.

This video of mine from last year is having a bit of a revival. Maybe cause of my new (successful) video essay. Or maybe cause the fascist AfD party won pretty big in recent elections in Germany. Watch it if you havn't yet!

One of the few things I regret I didnt mention in the video essay is how rampant bullying is as a tactic within the leftist manosphere. It's very immature, self-serving, and cruel -- all things a healthy left must do without.

Just released the transcript for my latest video essay (which is doing shockingly well - at 250k views in just 4 days). Anyway, transcript is open for all on my Patreon. It's 13.5k words, but if you prefer text, its all there (you lose out on my impressions though).

. @aymanmak.bsky.social dropped a video the other day whose title included the phrase "leftist manosphere" and I cannot think of a term more perfect for people like Ryan Grim: dudes who are basically chuds but get a free pass from a lot of leftists just because they say "Israel bad."
I like these posts that are like "excuse me, I would also like to take part in the ritualistic mass shaming of this person who was cringe, but you know, in an Important Political Way"

here's her instagram: www.instagram.com/pawscrossedl...

and as ayman notes below, the fundraiser total is misleadingly large as it represents what has been collected over several years, not a working balance.

The death of Ratko Mladić means nothing to me. He won. The West rewarded the genocide and handed almost half of Bosnia's territory to his political project. As long as the genocidal entity exists, no justice is possible. The monument to his crimes outlives him.
