@DominiqueAshker [name pseudonymized]: No wonder so many real women ask where have all the real men gone. If you let the weakest take over society, you soon won’t have a society. Go woke and you’ll send a society more then broke. What women want weak men ? What agenda’s want weak men ? #woke #biden #globalists #msm… [URL redacted] [URL redacted]

#MagazineUSTheAtlanticPhillipsOBrien "The persistence of the Putin-Cruz-Carlson vision of war is surprising, because we have decades, even centuries, of evidence to the contrary. Since the Industrial Revolution, and in many ways before, the ability to run a complex system has been the cornerstone of strategic success. Though much military popular literature likes to stress the human drama of combat--the bravery and sacrifice, the cowardice and atrocity--it is not nearly as important in victory or defeat as many people assume. In state-to-state wars--a category that includes the current Russian invasion of Ukraine as well as broader conflicts such as the two world wars--the side that can most efficiently deploy more effective equipment operated by better-trained personnel has typically emerged victorious." https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/russia-ukraine-woke-military-tucker-carlson/671569/ #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverHyper #MetaphorVersusSimpleComplexAnswers #OrgClassifPPRUSUnitedRussiaVladimirPutin #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPTedCruz #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #MetaphorVersusWestEastRussia / #OrgRUAFM


Supplementary: "hypermasculinity, sociological term denoting exaggerated forms of masculinity, virility, and physicality. Scholars have suggested that there are three distinct characteristics associated with the hypermasculine personality:
(1) the view of violence as manly,
(2) the perception of danger as exciting and sensational, and
(3) callous behavior toward women and a regard toward emotional displays as feminine.
Hypermasculine archetypes abound in the mass media, especially action films. The films of Clint Eastwood, for example, usually feature a strong, silent hero who exhibits no emotion as he dispatches his enemies. A female lead character with exaggerated 'feminine' qualities is often added to accentuate the masculine traits of the hero." https://www.britannica.com/topic/hypermasculinity #IRLActorClintEastwood #MetaphorWarfareHero #TheoryCodedFemininityOver #TheoryCodedMasculinityOverStoic

These include football hooligans participating on closed chat forums and individuals linked to Patriotic Alternative, a splinter group of the British National party (BNP) that has mobilised its members to harass refugees housed in hotels." https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/08/far-right-groups-call-on-supporters-to-oppose-pro-palestine-march-on-armistice-day #AdvocacyUKHopeNotHate #SymbolWarMemorialUKCenotaph #EventArmisticeDay #OrgClassifPPUKBritishNationalPartyBNP #PhenomnImmigrationRefugee

Supplementary: #MagazineUKFilmStoriesAJBlack "Perhaps a reason why comic-book heroism took hold across the 2010s was not just about how Marvel married traditional comic-book movie structures with must-see episodic television, but also our own growing awareness that the structures said heroes have long protected are decaying in western society. Captain America learns that HYDRA has corrupted SHIELD, that bastions of American freedom have been infiltrated by fascist extremists. Thanos seeks ultimate population control as a means of balancing resources. So many of these films speak not just to disrupters with arch plans but how they expose the frailty of government or democratic systems in their disruption, sometimes even working within them.
This also could explain the 'lone hero' trope that has taken hold in recent years to a more intense degree. McClane, John Matrix, John Rambo were all lone heroes, but as an audience, you never doubted they would prevail. They existed within a cathartic, controlled and safe geopolitical sandbox either during the end of the Cold War or the unipolar security of the United States. After 9/11, it all started to change. Jason Bourne realised his own government, with its mass surveillance, was an Orwellian nightmare. James Bond returned to a complex world where CIA agents worked with brokers to help dictators as part of a scheme to control the supply of a natural resource (as we saw in Quantum Of Solace as an example). And Ethan Hunt steadily became, even within his own storytelling, 'a living manifestation of destiny' as one character describes him" (28 November 2024). https://filmstories.co.uk/features/what-exactly-is-the-modern-cinematic-hero-fighting-for/ #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #BrandMarvel #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUCaptainAmerica #BrandMarvelHydra i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(comics) #BrandMarvelSHIELD i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.H.I.E.L.D. #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUThanos #FictionalCharacterJohnMcClane of #1988_DieHard etc. #FictionalCharacterJohnRambo #FictionalCharacterJohnMatrix of #1985_Commando #BehaviourCatharsis #PoliticsExtremism #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #2001_September11Attacks911 #2016_JasonBourne #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell #FictionalCharacter007JamesBond #OrgUSFedCIA #2008_QuantumOfSolace #FictionalCharacterEthanHunt
