Summary

In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.

Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.

This cultural shift mirrored Trump’s election victory and reflected backlash against progressive gender norms.

Though some view these spaces as promoting traditional values, critics warn of growing misogyny and radicalization in the “manosphere.”

The rise of such spaces highlights deepening political polarization online.

    Because, like so many other Americans, she was taught to grab on to that brass ring and don’t let go if people notice you. I don’t blame her for that either.

    I’m not suggesting she isn’t still responsible for her actions, and if she is charged in the crypto scam, so be it… but I still feel bad for her.

      Your first paragraph feels an awful lot like you are suggesting she isn’t responsible for her actions.

        My second paragraph should have led you to the opposite conclusion.

        I can pity someone and not blame them for what they did but still feel they should be responsible for their actions when they are bad actions.

          Empathy is in extremely short supply these days, at least online.
