Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence

    Has it ever occurred to you that bad actors could be hijacking something to use it for their own nefarious purposes? It happens all the time.

        So… You know literally nothing about this topic at all and just want to lump it all together with incels, got it.

          Still avoiding linking that source, huh? There are better ways to try and hide the fact you can’t find a good one.

        Ever heard of Ben Shapiro? Steven Chowder? Tim Pool? Charlie Kirk? They’re all insanely dishonest pieces of shit. They and other shitty fascist conservatives use the loneliness epidemic to try and say, “see? the liberals want you to be lonely! They hate trad wives and want women working!” etc etc etc, as if most women could magically decide to not work in this hellscape economy. As if it wasn’t mostly conservatives keeping wages low which removes the ability for single-income homes in the first place.

        They’re all dishonest pieces of shits trying to divide the populace further. They offer no truths, only convenient lies to further rile people up.

            What epidemic!? Are you seriously that fucking ignorant while trying to comment in this conversation? Why are you insisting on eating your own foot so hungrily?

              Consider providing a source better than a random screenshot from a Tumblr post, then.
