Interesting, I am way too lazy to dig through his post history but he went from neckbeard to monk mode 'masculine' MGTOW? Makes his posts about adrenochrome make more sense than just trolling.
Bit of a tangent, but I think we will see more men go this route as social ties continue to dwindle and dating becomes harder. The right wing hearkening back to the 1950s version of masculinity is such an easy sell to lonely and disenfranchised men.
The left really really needs a healthy version of masculinity that doesn't have the underlying vibe of men suck to counteract it. Something like you can be strong and protect your family by being an active partner in all aspects of the household. Cleaning and cooking are sexy or something lol.
I also think we should really focus as creating more space where people can interact in a community. Modern versions of the old school clubs like the Elks and Shriners that appeal to youth.
I have found great communities in running and it is so nice just to hang out with people outside my normal social circle once or twice a week. One of them skews older and the other is right in my age range and both are fun.
