I got one reply which was either deleted or blocked calling me “Mr. MRA”, two points:

- Men's/Fathers Rights != "The Manosphere” it's mostly divorced men and their second wives who are struggling with a blatantly and shamelessly unfair family court system. I was forced to pay my abuser, despite the plain text of the law saying otherwise.

- I personally am not involved, and was never more than a lurker, but it was and likely remains the only place for men who are trying to retain or gain custody of their children to find support and information on how the family courts work in practice.

My observation is that nobody ends up in these online spaces because their experiences have been great. If you want the votes of young men, maybe don't antagonize them to the point that the only support they get is from these spaces.

@Frances_Larina sure: Trump voters are not a monolith, it's a coalition and only some of them agree on this particular policy.

More generally if you look at the economic indicators and polls, you aren't seeing the day-to-day reality of most Americans.

What good is low unemployment if you can't live on the wage?
What good is a booming stock market if only the elites benefit?
What good are social programs if homelessness is still rampant?

Don't listen to the pundits, they clearly are clearly out of touch, go see for yourself how people are struggling every day, even in this “recovered" economy. Maybe consider helping people who need it, which does far more good than complaining on the internet…

@itsweezie yeah, keep insulting the “deplorables”, it's worked so well in the past…

@jalley sure sure, but never-mind congress folk playing the stock market with inside information… nothing to see *there*.

I don't want corrupt conflicted politicians, but it cuts both ways.

If you choose the bear, you get the bear.

Three generations of young men have been told they are inherently violent, creepy, or worse. Anyone who's surprised they would vote against the party of “every domestic abuser is a man” (literally the text of the VAWA which Biden passed) and “men need to step up" (literally Obama every Father's day) isn't paying attention.

I say this as someone who's spent time in the early “mens rights sphere ” after a divorce because that was the only place there was any support. Everyone else assumed I was at fault, despite my ex being arrested twice in one week after threatening to harm our child.

Are the extremes of the MAGA world good for society? I don't think so. However, I also see the extremes of the Woke word as equally poisonous to the goal of an egalitarian society.

@dangrsmind the entire democratic gerontocracy needs to resign, immediately, ideally into exile.

What good is low unemployment if you can't live on the wage?

As much as I think MAGA will make things worse, it's clear that the majority of voters didn't believe the Democrats weren’t going to make it better.

I was today years old when I realized that Encyclopedia Britannica is “The Encyclopedia of British History” i.e. “Some Info about how great Colonialism is”.

@jonathankoren 100%

Go neoliberal, go nowhere.

I had the most wonderful dream: working for a company who's IT department regularly reached out to the employees they support and discovered which apps they provided were working and improving productivity and which were unreliable and difficult to use. They accepted the feedback and adjusted the deployed software to best support the team.

Then I woke up and checked my Outlook and Teams inboxes…

So the big gotcha, and apparently a news story, is that Time Walz once mis-spoke about exactly when he was visiting Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, we have a continuous stream of blood libel and incitements to violence from the other camp.

But he lied about a visit to China! Both sides!

One really violent day? Why not one really violent night?

It's crystal clear what Drumph is calling for: another Kristallnacht.

Because, obviously, democracy is more essential to our freedom than crypt currency.

Time to close my Coinbase account:

Every day we hear about “Liberals Aborting Children After Birth", "Immigrants Eating Pets”, “Rapists and Murders Flooding Across the Borders”.

It's the exact same playbook used against the Jewish people. We should reject it with the same force and commitment. #bloodlibel

Just heard the RFK Jr. is the one who's been catching and eating pets in Springfield, OH. Claims that it's for the benefit of the environment. #rfkjr #janefonda #conspiracy #bloodlibel

@kyozou hand me a fresh jar, all these are full…

SFPD: we spend more and solve less crime!

@ewhac @jwz Ocean Beach and the Presidio are US Park Police jurisdiction, not SFPD

@KraftTea sadly, I cannot leave “just the tip”

@KraftTea sounds like we need a boot licker to boot stomping pipeline
