Masculinity in 2026 America is doing rude or harmful shit to show you're beyond the reach of consequences, or just dont give a fuck. It's Nietzsche's discharge its strength quote turned into culture-war ideology.

The recent examples I use are Hokit's comments about Michelle Obama at the White House UFC match, or Trump getting a World Cup red card penalty cancelled because he wanted it.

There are probably more recent examples. Renaming Lake Ontario comes to mind. Bombing Iran or Gaza are particularly grotesque examples.
