Yes, but I think the point is that strong man types do appeal to a certain demographic that they are trying to influence, not that it appeals or should appeal to themselves or the general population

There is growing support for new voting and election systems that would support this
Dairy is definitionally non-vegan because it is products from animals
We need a system that supports more than two parties without third parties being spoilers
And even further away from Trump’s
You must aspire to live in space then, huh?
People that don’t like the original after watching the parody probably wouldn’t like the original even without watching the parody. The parody just puts a spotlight on aspects of the show that lots of people noticed and they probably already have an opinion about those things in their media.
Don’t put too much stock into other people liking the things you like. They have their own very specific individual tastes and you can be good friends even without agreeing on lots of things.
He’s actually trying to build a narrative of distrust around tech companies and trying to reinforce that his information bubble is legitimate despite what it looks like. His supporters will eat it up and be manipulated into thinking certain ways without really knowing it.
Fun is also what fuels exploration and learning. I think the overall point here is that there are people who have fun with different experiences that may be at odds with each other. Some people like struggling with something until they achieve success, and others just want to relax and have a good time.
Personally, I’ve had my fun with hard games in the past, but I’m turned off from the idea of getting stuck behind a skill barrier because I’m older now and have less time to spend on games.
I blame First Past the Post voting. In that system, the two parties have to become big tent parties and cater to the “average” voter that they want to capture.
I like to think that being called weird isn’t an insult. But it is being taken as an insult when used on people who call others weird as an insult themselves.
“getting at girls” “as young as possible”, even post-puberty is basically pedophilia, do you not agree?
Can’t it be fixed?
I have a theory that the anger issues could lead to cognitive decline. Anger and rage has a tendency to kick off the fight or flight response. With that comes survival mode, lizard brain thinking, and irrational decision making. There’s a lot of viral videos of people in this situation where the anger is causing them to make bad decisions. The experience might even be traumatic for them, kicking off their mental defense mechanisms.
Afterward, they post-hoc try to justify what happened in those moments to hold onto the idea that they are still a good person. Occasionally they realize they have a problem that needs to be fixed, but many times they will dig into their irrational positions with new emotional attachments to it. It can take a lot of therapy to get past it, which still has a lot of stigma with testosterone-types, so they don’t and the irrational “logic” builds up over time. Therefore, cognitive decline.
Are there more substantiated studies on the effects of anger, especially there we see this pattern? I think I am seeing it over and over, but I can’t be sure of the prevalence of the behavior since there is a bias in the media I see.
People often segregate themselves into bubbles separated from others they oppose. I can say since the political affiliation is known from past elections, that has become a stronger factor when I am deliberating on which places I would want to live. I’m sure this is adding to the polarization, where people are gravitating to communities that more often reinforce their beliefs and give them fewer opportunities to challenge them.
How can we counter this polarizing force?
Probably shouldn’t say that
Biden defeated himself, it has nothing to do with Trump
The Democratic candidate is chosen at the convention, which hasn’t happened yet. What would a legal contest even be based on?
I feel like that would be different. Video evidence would remove a lot of plausible deniability.
