Journal by aristarchus
Yet another aristarchus submission has met it's appointed fate. Nothing surprising, but, there was a non-blank rationale field, highly unusual!
We're sorry, your submission "This online comic shows how pick-up artists morphed into the alt-right" was declined for the following reason:
All hail the Supreme Gentleman! -takyonThe editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.
Of course, I think the entire point was that these are no Gentleman, and the Red Pillars need to get themselves over to The Art of Manliness website. And apparenty, this includes one of our more prolific editors? Cause for pause, Soylentils! What are we part of, here!
Takyon is an incel! Disgusting, Bro!

I'm going to have to give it the benefit of the doubt and contradict you.
It was at least 5/8 assed.
"If they don't understand why men do and say the things they do, and they most certainly do not, they don't need to be opining on them."
I'm not convinced the thesis here is entirely spurious.
Oversimplified, underdocumented, ok.
But PUA is a real thing, and there does exist a minority of men who portray these negative stereotypes, and it's far from implausible to me that there's a link between PUA and the alt-right.
A funny cartoon asserting it exists is no substitute for journalism documenting that at least for 2 or 3 people, such a link exists, however.

How about feminism? I hear a lot of complaints from that quarter for decades about how there are no good men left. Sounds like they're turning up a bunch of PUAs consistently (here, I'll use the term "pick up artist" liberally as anyone who is willing to act to pursue women for short term sex rather than in the strict sense of following the rules of some book). Similarly, I gather the #metoo movement turned up a bunch of powerful male PUAs who were nominally pro-feminist in public, while far from it in private.
If anything, hypocrisy and deception sounds like it's the fuel that PUAs run on. While that may be part of the alt-right thing, it's not going to generate any mileage sex-wise for the PUA since the movement is vastly unpopular among a large portion of women (supposedly only 20% [theatlantic.com] of the US alt-right is female, for example). Meanwhile aping popular women's belief systems and code words is far more likely to get somewhere. I doubt, for example, that any PUA of talent would be caught exhibiting "toxic masculinity" while on the prowl.
As for the comic, well drawn but really tenuous connections even for a conspiracy yarn diagram. For example, I think there's a case to be made that feminism above has a problem with toxic masculinity too. Does that mean it's the same as the marketing of PUA techniques and the alt-right movement - the equating which the comic made? I guess I wouldn't be able to come up with a list of people who supposedly are feminist and alt-right at the same time (though others [medium.com] give it a try).
I think what's going on is that the artist is intellectually trying to lump multiple bad ideas into one dung ball. It makes for a simpler worldview, but at a cost. I see a similar thing go on with the Khazar Jew troll. Jews are the old bad guys and Muslims are the new bad guys. So what is more natural than to suddenly discover that all those Jews are actually Muslim fake Jews? Mind you, it's complete bullshit, but at least the hating is simplified, turning an O(2) problem into a much simpler O(1) problem. /sarc

The "crisis" with masculinity seems to be a Marxist dialectic. (Let me know if I'm doing this wrong. wswswswsws won't touch the subject even with a 38½" pole.) Thesis is patriarchy. Negation of the thesis is radical feminism. Gender equality lies in the negation of the negation.
For consideration there is Bly's Iron John: A Book About Men [wikipedia.org], which is the polar opposite approach to the red pillar counterrevolution implied but never directly urged by Farrell's The Myth of Male Power (iirc). Bly might give us a glimpse of what the negation of the negation is, but Iron John is mythical in nature and can only be separated from the myth's heteronormativity with some contortions.
Men must seek liberty from the straight-jacket of patriarchy. Heteronormativity is the force of patriarchy that, in the presence of radical feminism, sleepwalks into a contradiction: dependence upon that which was previously dependent on the former itself but had obtained independence. Gender relations under patriarchy assume a thoroughly co-dependent form of mutual abuse. Thus, heterosexual men must awaken from their co-dependent state and find a new mode of gender relations in which heterosexual men and women finally become independent equals.
I think that the new propaganda about "toxic masculinity" presumes to talk about masculinity, but it only in fact talks about heterosexual men who have not yet found a way of gender relations with women as independent equals instead of as mutual codependents. It does not talk about masculinity itself (viz. the gender independent of sexuality) but an outmoded means of male heterosexuality.

And here is the poster boy for men who must bucket out their pond and get in touch with their inner Iron John! And so I will attempt to point you in this direction. You are probably trolling as usual, yet the old man from Samos has raised the issue of the section of the men's movement that other (more serious imnsho) sections look down upon due their obvious philosophical perfidy: the PUAs. So there is more I must write.
Of course men and women are different! The only people who are saying otherwise are the moonbat postmodernists and their trans trender groupies who seem to only seek gender transition for the purpose of sticking their dicks in cis lesbians. Plus, listen to what the postmodernists are saying. They say, “Men and women are exactly the same, except when we, from time-to-time, seize upon evidence that men are ‘incomplete beings’ or otherwise an inferior caste, membership in which may be determined on the most superficial basis imaginable, or evidence that women are ‘superior beings’ because they can give birth, even cisgender women who are incapable of giving birth.” That is lunacy—hysteria even!, and you're absolutely right to reject it.
Have you read Iron John: A Book About Men [barnesandnoble.com]?
My “internet boyfriend” finds the Iron John myth useful, as he has difficulty finding the girl the with the golden hair, and it helped me gain a deeper understanding of and appreciation for masculinity. It's been a while since I read it, and iirc it also deals with masculine healing hands, which I feel is an important part of the nature of masculinity. Man at his best is, among other things, Aragorn at Gondor, who knows mother nature intimately (such as the medicinal properties of many herbs), healing the sick with the healing hands of a king (i.e. the laying on of hands and the divine masculine).
At this point, allow me to put on Fred Bear [youtube.com].
The man as a hunter and fisher, who here too is in love with mother nature and finds conservationism bound up in hunting and fishing (see Michigan's Out-of-Doors [michiganoutofdoorstv.com] and check out their venison recipes!), is an expression of his healing hands and desire to provide, so there are elements you may be able to relate to here. The cover art of Iron John is reminiscent of the, perhaps romanticized, mountain man archetype in European-American culture. This is an uplifting interpretation of masculinity I feel is imminently accessible to rural men.
In order to understand men as ground down by neoliberalism, we must also understand Palahniuk's Fight Club, in which Tyler Durden is an Iron John figure and an anti-capitalist. “In the world I see you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rock feller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighways.” There is something here that calls to men powerfully, yet it does not seem fundamentally counterrevolutionary. Instead we must apply the dialectical process of thesis, negation, negation of the negation in order to find liberation from gender dichotomy as codependence.
In the final analysis, it is absolutely possible to be a heterosexual man in the negation of the negation we must work out. 90% of men are heterosexual. In fact, a heterosexual man can be nothing else than a heterosexual man! See Vincent's Self-Made Man [wikipedia.org] in which the variable of gynephilia is held constant while modifying the variable of gender identity. In fact, I believe it is possible to accomplish this while rejecting patriarchal heteronormativity. The destructive approach of the postmodernists leads only to fascism. Thus, the phenomenon of “toxic masculinity” is entirely of the postmodernists' own creation!

On the other hand, just about every man I've seen saying this is using "why u mad lawl I'm jus' sayin' there's differences!" to actually mean "bitches ain't shit." So you'll forgive us if we get a bit twitchy when we see people make unqualified statements. And we're not dumb, so based on past interactions we can usually tell what a guy means when he says some variation on "there are differences between the sexes."
If anything, the reason I'm not a TERF is because I acknowledge these differences.

So let me be clear so that the Germaine Greers of the world won't be tempted to run with a half-assed analysis that has the logical conclusion of refuting second wave feminism, placing woman back upon the pedestal as the exceptional gender. (Postmodernism I think is not capable of dealing with pedestalization.) The thesis in effect here is patriarchal transphobia, which seeks to coerce the female spirit (of trans women) into male spiritual form. The negation of the thesis is postmodern not-transphobia, which seeks to coerce the male spirit (of cis men) into female spiritual form. Thus again we seek the negation of the negation to get ourselves out of this mess. Of course, I am limited here to those assigned the male gender at birth and did not try to generalize.

More than one, then, most likely. But that is not the issue here. Aristarchus is not alt-right.

Don't sell aristarchus short. aristarchus may not have been born alt-right, but might as well be an honorary member now. I doubt aristarchus has even punched anybody in the last 72 hours.

Hello fren, I must defend Aristarchus against these disgraceful accusations. Aristarchus is an antifascist trooper, a basher of trumptards and a credit to the SN leftist collective. He's a monk and if he touched a woman, you can be certain it would be he mother!

I think Otto [wikipedia.org] is relevant here when he said "Dude, your mom is hot!" [wikipedia.org]
Oh, and you're welcome.

Interesting phenomenon, this political conservatism and male sexuality. I recommend a look at Male Fantasies, Vol. 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History [amazon.com], by Klaus Theweleit, University of Minnesota Press; 1St Edition edition (April 1, 1987). Seems that the men of the Freicorps in the Balkan wars were much like the alt-right of today, seeing women as either on pedestals as wives and sisters, or as Communist THOTs. And they had a tendency to transfer women from one category to the other rather quickly. Not surprising, then, that members or even founders of the "alt-right" have, um, difficulties, in their personal relations. The denouement of Matt Heimbach [washingtonpost.com] being one case in point, the other Richard Spencer's recent divorce [gq.com].
The linked cartoon lays out a similar but much more recent history, but this is nothing new. Right-wing males have a hard time relating to other human beings as fellow human beings, particularly if they are female.
