Third Rail: USA society “manchild”, “incel”, “weaponized incompetence”. JD Vance, Elon Musk, Donald Trump family, RFK Jr, Rudy Giuliani. “the Normalization of Aggressive Masculinity: A Neurobiological Perspective”
Ultra-rich men like Elon Musk can significantly affect the general population, especially in shaping societal attitudes toward issues like identity, success, masculinity, and behavior.
Notable this was published January 16, 2025 before the “On January 20, 2025, while speaking at a rally celebrating U.S. president Donald Trump’s second inauguration, businessman and political figure Elon Musk twice made a salute interpreted by some as a Nazi or a fascist Roman salute.”
More and more people are compulsively adopting Donald Trump behavior, Elon Musk Twitter-think attitudes and anti-empathy anti-humanism behaviors on social machines and public values, workplace values, anti-DEI aggression against women and people considered “weak” in any way.
Musk’s public persona emphasizes traits traditionally associated with hyper-masculinity: dominance, individualism, and a relentless pursuit of achievement and acquisition. This can influence societal norms by reinforcing the idea that success and power are closely tied to these masculine ideals. Research has shown that when prominent figures embody and perpetuate these ideals, it can pressure individuals, especially men, to conform to similar expectations, often at the expense of emotional vulnerability or alternative expressions of identity (Eagly, 2007). This pressure can lead to an increase in stress, anxiety, and other mental health struggles as people try to measure up to these standards.
This is driving more and more sincere, honest, people with values of goodness into silence and avoidance, shutting down from the body public, because this trend has been non-stop since 2013 with the rise of Donald Trump super-star status symbol of what people want as an ideal Boss Man and daily discussion topic. JD Vance being elevated to another iconic leadership symbol in year 2024 has further created a society-wide mimic of these winning social behaviors and strategies.
I think they are all manipulated by an organization or combined organizations above them. All seem to have a connection to organized crime. Trump worked with mobs in NYC. Giuliani supposedly “ended” crime in NYC (or made deal with the devil for political image), and the Kennedy family was fucked with by the mob when JFK was pres. There seems to be a rise in Christian nationalism… And what do you know!? The Vatican has a history with the Mafia as well.
i don’t think people understand reality anymore, they’ve been enticed by false security and lifestyles that hide them from honest reality. They traded honest life for a false veil of safety and escapism from reality, and it allowed america and some other nations to become completely corrupted as they are today. The world is being taken over by nations taken over by organized crime… And some of these politicians and players helping we’re just naive to the big picture… Indoctrinated to believe human society was past that evil and that they are working for good… But it’s all aways been intertwined with evil. People have been so out of touch from honest reality of the human story that they don’t know what it will take to fight back because they hid from the chaos of reality. They don’t know what real life actually is. Raw.
