So basically a church of assholes competing with each other to out asshole each other. Then they wonder why their kids don't talk to them and that "manliness" skips a generation. I am willing to bet these "absurdly manly" men are in the closet and over compensating.Using an iron is too feminine? Bitch if you want to be respected as a professional don't fucking show up in wrinkled ass clothes. Why do you think the army fucking irons? Because you look good in unwrinkled clothes. God dammit I am going on a rant again.

Irons can burn in hell. Either steamer or dryer, but ironing legitimately sucks. It somehow makes my shirt more wrinkly than I started.

that's like 3 layers of scam: church, manliness and absurd levels

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

Maybe four, if you include Russian state-controlled church.

I wish these shitbricks were actually fleeing to Russia at the levels this article is trying to portray.

Manliness has always been a scam.

Manliness is an ideal intentionally placed out of reach. An insecurity to be exploited

And it's entangled with paranoid, exclusive nationalism of the worst sort. It's no wonder the women there like foreign guys.

doggedly backed the invasion of Ukraine, calling it a Holy War

Yeah I don't really give a shit about their concept of the male gender. Apparently it involves fathering many children, so that Russia doesn't run out of soldiers for the hundred years of glorious holy war it will take to defeat NATO and save the world. If you really want to reach the ultimate heights of manliness, try wearing eye shadow, practicing embroidery, and watching Hello Kitty while remaining confidently masculine.

By the way, Ciril's deranged proclamations of "holy war" are ridiculous. Ukraine is also an Orthodox country.

While all of you meme and joke and minimize the threat, a rising wave of disaffected boys has grown up under the most toxic of social environments and still NONE of you take this seriously.

When you see the world in ten years time you will kick yourselves for doing nothing to stop it now in its infancy

Nothing more manly and confident than having to constantly validate your manlyness

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Always fun witnessing another round of people arguing over whose church is dumber.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

It's a hoot. These Ultra Incels think the Orthodox Church is going to hand them a submissive woman. Sounds like their new church is a sausage fest up in there.

So fragile, so scared. They are so terrified of being perceived as lesser men that they resort to this crap. It's just that you could only feel sorry for them... if they didn't suck, that is.
