Donald Trump’s plan for the US and Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan for Israel are both shaped by racist, colonialist worldviews that grant full rights and personhood to some while justifying the repression and extermination of others.

The video begins with a close-up of a political campaign flyer for Tim Cartmell, who is running for Mayor. The flyer features a man in a suit and tie against a teal background, with the text "Tim Cartmell FOR MAYOR" prominently displayed. Below the image, there is a blue button with the word "Gross." and the handle "[@]timcartmell" is visible. The flyer also includes a URL, "Learn more at votebetteredmonton.ca." The scene transitions to a hand holding the flyer, showing more of the surrounding area, which includes a green patterned fabric and a black coat. The flyer is then placed into a trash bin, with the lid being lifted to reveal the contents. The video concludes with the flyer being discarded into the bin, and the lid being closed. Throughout the video, the word "Gross." remains displayed in a blue box, and the handle "[@]timcartmell" is visible, indicating a negative reaction to the campaign material.

A imagem mostra dois jovens dormindo juntos em uma cama. O jovem à esquerda está deitado de lado, sem camisa, com o braço envolto ao redor do outro jovem, que está deitado de costas, coberto por uma manta branca. Ambos parecem estar em um sono profundo. A cama tem uma cabeceira escura e é coberta por lençóis brancos. O ambiente é um quarto com paredes de cor clara e um pouco de desgaste visível. A iluminação é suave, criando uma atmosfera tranquila.

Many countries have established ecocide as a crime, and others are planning to do so. I am in favor of this. Declaring ecosystems to be "persons" is an absurdity, but fortunately we can protect them legally without being absurd.

Men and women both enforce this mindset. If a woman has also bought into toxic masculinity they will treat men who cage themselves inside of it better and want nothing to do with those who are free of it. Its part of why it took me until I was 30 to have a real relationship.
Toxic masculinity is bad for everyone. There is no one way to be a man, you don't lose you man card for liking certain things or doing certain things. You just might get treated like trash if you do and no longer be recognized by the toxic masculine cult as a man.
The people that matter will recognize you for who you are not for what twisted "virtue" signals you give off. I think toxic masculine infantilism is probably one of the worst natural logical conclusion to toxic masculinity.
Masculinity as we have it in the west wasn't even really a thing until sometime before WWII, what a gay scare was happening, and there was a fear of not enough men with fighting spirit, never mind the Spartans were gay as hell and could slaughter people with ease. Each generation the restrictions that define a man keep getting tighter and tighter to the point that having the vulnerability to make friends as an adult is too gay for men in the cult, leading to loneliness on a scale we have never before seen in history.
For the rest of the world being a man is all over the place on how you are defined as one. But the US especially can only look inward so most don't realize that men all over the world life outside of this cage and are still men. Are we against men or masculinity? No we want you to be able to define those terms however you choose and be treated as a person with all the respect you deserve due a person. But being a man baby or demanding a man abandon half of who he is for some stupid made up set of rules is hurting every including those who maintain it.

I may be out of context, but true manliness is never toxic.
What enforced standards, for example? Can you name a few so I can understand you better?
I still find it highly remarkable that male is the only human gender which is convinced that members thereof are required to PROVE that they're the gender they were born as. Of course I'm speaking of the cis members. Nobody else has to prove anything to anybody else.
