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.
Exactly. There’s a limited amount of things I can pay attention over the week. The fact that I don’t know about some completely trivial cultural thing means I’ve paid attention to something else instead. That something else may very well be equally trivial but it also might not.
You say you agree but then you kind of admit it’s a bullshit premise…
Therefore there is no shame in knowing something trivial and no pride in not knowing that specific trivial thing.
