Modern Western pseudo-masculinity… actually just deflective denialism, gaslighting, coping, and grifting masquerading as concern, tough love, hard pep talks, and wisdom. This motivational sloganeering horseshit always has this cringey tone of false bravado to it, like the speaker is some hard-as-nails John Wayne cowboy who's been through the mill and is about to tame the wild frontiers. So, saddle up boys coz we’ve heard this all before:
>you’re on your own son, the world doesn’t owe you, man up coz you’re responsible for everything and it’s all your fault, every single time, don’t ever blame anyone except yourself because other people can never be the cause of your problems, ever… no excuses, harden up, suck it up princess, look yourself in the mirror, and just work harder and harder with grit and determination like a good goy slave, stoic poker face, and a firm handshake… just take it silently on the chin buddy, that’s what real men do. And just be really good at everything, at all times, just to cover all bases, just in case. It’s simple, just be better bro. Just be a man. BE! A! MAN! I hope that helped.
>expecting guidance and instruction is just entitlement and a free handout for needy snowflakes. You just have to figure everything out all by yourself the hard way, but if you make a mistake, you will be heavily penalized and endlessly blamed for it. But don’t take too long figuring stuff out coz that’s just stalling, laziness, lack of initiative, and inaction. We want results. You’re supposed to just know these things, even though it took everyone else decades to figure these things out. It’s like osmosis, didn’t you know? I mean, isn’t it obvious? No one will ever tell you these things because life’s not fair. But you have to play fair. Deal with it, snowflake.
