    I can only recommend Our Changing Climates take on this: “Are Men Killing the Planet?”

    The title is inflammatory, yes, but it’s a great video that drives home the point of masculine insecurity and a “dominance of nature” spurs a lot of the “masculine” stereotype behind trucks and SUVs.

  • Bit of a longer TLDR including context, I’ll call it a TLDDD (too long, didn’t deep dive):

    Doreen was a moderator of /r/antiwork, she went on Fox News to present the subreddit and why it was so interesting to so many. This wasn’t agreed upon by the community or the other moderators.

    Fox immediately tried to frame it as people just sucking off the teat of “corporate america” and not wanting to work. In reaction to this, Doreen failed to actually make any arguments that a Fox News viewer would understand and even played directly into the propagandist’s hands by using out of context philosophies like “laziness is a virtue” and saying that she worked as a dog walker.

    On top of this, Doreen was incredibly unpresentable in the video and looked like your average, basement-dwelling netizen, sitting in a dimly lit room with a 2010s webcam. For the right-wingers at fox, she was the perfect image of what they imagine leftists to be like:

    • Trans
    • Autistic
    • Socialist
    • Unkempt
    • No “real” job (dog walker)

    Here’s a screenshot from the interview to give you an idea of what I mean by unkempt and unpresentable
