I wonder how much online conspiracy/qanon/unhinged bullshit is a result of men reading fewer and fewer books every year. Used to be these people would be stuck in an 800 page Tom Clancy novel, not bothering anyone. But now they don’t even do that anymore. They’re online talking to each other.

but Podcasts are zynternet bro surface level. I honestly think the USA turning Nazi can be directly traced to 4chan.
4chan might be the most quietly male-radicalizing site of the last 20yrs, yet no one else even knows it exists.

Real men are buckets. No rocks
Just empty buckets.
Spot on
You'll see the qanon and Maga crowd parrot "Art of The Deal". Ask if they read it?
Of course not.

In the back of my mind I'm actually worried we're heading towards a 'Red Storm Rising (1986)' situation, but with Ukraine being the initial target rather than Iceland as per the story.
Men unwilling to face their intellectual inadequacy stinks of rape victims defending rapists.
(Maybe 90% of the population never visit a bookstore. You get on a Bestseller list with 3,000 sales in a week in a US of 330 million!
