Summary

In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.

Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.

This cultural shift mirrored Trump’s election victory and reflected backlash against progressive gender norms.

Though some view these spaces as promoting traditional values, critics warn of growing misogyny and radicalization in the “manosphere.”

The rise of such spaces highlights deepening political polarization online.

    Memecoins aren’t a scam. You can’t say that someone who is selling dog shit is scamming people when they tell you that its dog shit.

          They specifically targeted the naive, knowing that anyone who understood crypto would pass. I’m not joking. Watch the Coffeezilla video on her coin.

            Why do some people play the lottery if they know its a scam?

            Shitcoins actually have a higher chance of you making money than slot machines. They’re both a game.

              Honestly, the lottery has been around a lot longer but the idea is the same. Those who know it’s a scam don’t buy into it, obviously.

              That being said, many people still beleive they have the chance and it still brings in a ton of money with a payout to a few and the rest going to the government.

              Same bs.
