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.

      Yeah, his support for Trump is sincere at worst, naive at best, but honest either way.

      Thoughtful people who honestly believe in the ideas of Bernie wouldn’t fall for the toxic lies and scapegoating of a literal fascist.

      Neither my obvious bias in favor of Bernie nor the fact that I detest Rogan with plenty of good reasons is the reason why I trust the honesty of his support for Trump more. My bias towards the obviously true versus the obviously false is.

      His credulous support of all the satellite grifters in Trump’s orbit coupled with the fact that he didn’t ever support anyone else with similar ideologies and ideas to Bernie is the main thing making it obvious.
