Clown Population. The clowns inside the White House are only a small fraction of a total society of mock for mock, reactionary mocking, clowns. The entire nation is a "basket case of clowning around" on social machines / HDTV media machines / mockery.

People like to play a game of psychological denial and say ONLY MAGA is the clowns, only the White House is the clowns. It's the entire population of Untied States of America.

'Andrew Tate phenomena' surges in schools - with boys refusing to talk to female teacher

Online influencers such as Andrew Tate are fuelling an increase in sexism in the classroom, says a new survey from education union the NASUWT. It comes after the Netflix series Adolescence thrust concerns around incel culture into the spotlight.

Everywhere since year 2013.

Vladimir Putin, Conservative Icon. The Russian president is positioning himself as the world's leading defender of traditional values. By Brian Whitmore

The anti-Malala (avoid Malala, grey-rock Malala) movement has grown every month and every year since Putin and Trump teamed up together in 2013. Russia just fucks over Ukraine and people like Andrew Tate and Tucker Calson are morality washers, entertainment mills to pass it down as all good for the future and children.

10 years of dominating global media systems with Donald Trump on stage, "if you are a star, you can grab them by the pussy" values. People though the Catholic Church was bad leaders, there are worse. People just keep joining these values: stand up for the wealthy, stand up for the bullies, stand up for the most aggressive, stand up for anti-education, stand up for men dominating women, stand-up for mass dehumanization communications content.

There's just a lack of good role models out there for kids, especially on social media. If one is unlucky enough to be born in an environment where "Tateism" might "make sense" (like bring sheltered, not having friendly interactions with girls or having masculinity drilled into you by parents), then the narratives the manosphere provides can become very compelling.

At the same time, kids are always up to stupid shit so it's possible that this is just some edgy phase one can overcome with life experience.

There are plenty of good role models, but there is no incentive for young people to seek them.

Since social media is driven by "engagement" and these people weaponize it to their advantage. And the companies behind them promote these garbage to keep people on their app longer doesn't help.

Social media isn't the answer. Less of it could be better for everyone.

Pretty much, it all comes down about what maximizes user's time on the platform so they can see the maximum amount of ads and produce the most amount of unpaid labor in the form of comments/content.

Social media can be good though if a creator is genuinely a positive role model that a teen otherwise wouldn't have due to their environment (speaking from experience), but given this focus on profit rather than positive social change and connection, it just ends up being hateful shit most of the time.
