It’s their kink. That’s why Grindr gets overwhelmed every time they gather. I work construction and it’s the same thing there they always rally around one guy (usually a foreman) and compete for his attention. We had a foreman one time who was conventionally handsome an id say pretty cool and I shit you not dudes were talking about how he edges before working out and they all started doing it and then somehow they got a picture of his dick and we’re going around shoving it in eachothers faces and calling eachother gay “because they looked at this guy’s dick”. They started drinking the same energy drinks that he drank. I wish someone would do a psychological study on it is weird. It’s a thing

+1...That is fucked up. Union or non-union construction? The idiots would stand on top of a 12 ft ladder for their foreman.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Union but my local is basically a white supremisist gang it’s gross

[–] scrodumb@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That explains it.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Most construction unions operate in this way. They are also about 90% far right whackos. Like ranting about George soros, hunter Biden and vaccines crazy. Weird thing is they are voting themselves out of existence and the union leadership has fostered this culture for generations. We literally have to swear we’re not a communist when we swear in

They are scared little boys. Their fathers were emotionally (maybe physically) abusive and didn’t give them agency, just expected “respect” (do as I say)

“Man up, sit down

Chin up, pipe down

Socks up, don't cry

Drink up, just lie

Grow some balls, he said

Grow some balls”

It's simple. They are super insecure guys and want to feel big, so they are assholes to women because women are easy targets. They drive massive trucks, love to BBQ and watch sports with other insecure men, but at the same time they lack any real identity and are completely lost without their mommy to take them by their hand. But mommy is a woman, and having your mommy to care for your insecure ass looks stupid to your friends, so you just follow another screaming asshole so you look touch yourself (you do not, you're a sad piece of garbage and everyone sees it).

Why is it ok to put every single person that votes a certain way into a box? I would also like to point out that Canada is not the USA. Canadian conservatives share very few values with their American counterparts

[–] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

People who have no clue of how the world works vote a certain way. They put themselves in a certain box by voting dumb.

[–] dustyvagina@lemmy.zip -2 points 6 months ago

Both sides think the exact same thing about each other. One is glued to FOX and the other to CNN. How is one more right then the other? This is all by design because they want us divided to more easily control. The elites are the problem because they are our governments and more.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They are kinda kinky

[–] hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Covert bottom

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

They wear bright red hats and are known for putting their mouths anywhere they are told. There's nothing covert about them.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because their dads were abusive authoritarians, so they have daddy issues.

[–] galaxy_nova@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This isn’t an excuse they’re just weak. Many have authoritarian fathers or parents and come out vowing to never be like that or support that behavior.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They’re the ones who don’t.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think they're born weak too, but both things can be explanations without it being an excuse.

Small town lifer here, the worst children I knew grew up very predictably. IMO, most people don't really change much at all with age.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everyone is born weak, what kind of statement is that? Babies are not strong.

Who a person becomes as an adult is a product of their development throughout their formative years. There are many factors in that, so it's far more complex than simple linear correlations, but overall having a shitty upbringing deeply contributes to a person's likelihood of turning out shitty.

The cycle breakers who overcome it do in spite of it all, and are the exceptions rather than the rule. They also likely found support in other areas of their life whether that's through friends, councilors, mentors, therapists, teachers, or what have you.

But someone who found none of those refuges would have extreme difficulty overcoming patterns ingrained through upwards of two decades of narcissistic abuse and emotional neglect starting from infancy.

It's not because they were "born flawed," and that's a very problematic assumption. It's also essentialist, so not very post-modern of you.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't debate those who lead and end with insults.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 months ago

What were the insults? Everything I said was factual.

I didn't call you a dumbass, I said your statement was essentialist and therefore not very post-modern. That's simply true, and if you think that's insulting then that's because you can't handle being corrected.

And if you think saying "babies are weak" is insulting, then you have very flawed expectations for humanity. From your original statement, you said some people are born weak. I corrected you by saying everyone is born weak.

So if anything, you're the one being insulting. Because you have no understanding for sympathy for the helpless state in which we were all introduced into this world.
