I didn't pay for access but the abstract seems pretty solid, and the blog post I linked (by the same author) lays out a pretty convincing line between 20th century white american masculinity and support for fossil fuels even in the face of their economic obsolescence.

It's great work, I just question the wisdom of using academic terminology in op-eds. Like obviously the fascist is going to throw stones but why oh why would you willingly hand them a bigger rock

Y'all can't think past your own feelings. Rhetoric matters. This rhetoric makes chuds double down. Irrespective of whether or not theres some optimal phrasing this phrasing sucks.

I am very angry, I'm just also trying to stay measured here.

We need that chucklefuck in the f-350 to play ball. His feelings are important because his reactions are important. Telling him how bad and dumb he is and tying it to his identity as a man is counterproductive because all that shit just makes him double down.

Maybe, maybe not. I know for a fact that this type of communication backfires spectacularly though.

Is the important thing to correct the behavior or to score points?

I understand the academic roots and I'm sure the paper it was coined in is top tier sociology. But we have got to stop labeling bad shit as masculine, it only amplifies the behavior. The dude 6" off your bumper is not going to hear "petro-masculinity" and have a quiet contemplative moment about carbon emissions and road safety. He's going to feel scolded, hear that you're triggered and frightened of his masculinity, and then he's going to start driving even more aggressively out of spite. And nobody will stop him, because nobody with the power to do so cares. Hell, the cops themselves are often the ones who drive like this.

He got screwed pretty hard by MS. Signed an exclusivity deal to move to Mixer in 2019 and then Mixer got 86'd in 2020. He lost almost all of his viewership and has recovered a very very small portion since moving back to Twitch and Youtube.

Idk if oil being negative was a good thing per se. It was a signal that the economy was suddenly grinding to a halt and energy demand was cratering.

If you can't trust your partner, you should talk with them about your feelings and be prepared to potentially leave. Regardless of what's actually going on.
