Masculinity and Misinformation: How JimmyTheGiant Escaped The Alt-Right Pipeline

The one good bit of advice they can give, the only bit, and you should turn the video off after they said this, is speak to women. That's the only bit. And half of them don't even say that anymore. They just complain about women. But that's the one bit of advice.

But that's what's mad. That's where the misogyny gets pushed into it. Because really, like, the dark side is they would say women don't know what they want.

They'll be like, women will tell you one thing because women are very empathetic. And they'll tell you that they want this type of guy, but actually they want Chad. A lot of it gets in this dark, strange territory. And again, that'll push you into the right. All these things are like, they're just these pipelines that just pull you into right-wing politics.

Masculinity and Misinformation: How JimmyTheGiant Escaped The Alt-Right Pipeline

No young person wants to fucking be 20 and think I have no chance and everything's stacked and shit. I'm a Christian. I don't literally think that Jesus walked on water and shit like that. But it gives me this faith that there's something good in the universe and there's something that, even if it's bullshit, it doesn't matter. It gives me a good frame to operate my life toward.

And I think that that's something that the left really could do better with. Because the one thing the right does get correct is that the left doesn't give a very optimistic outlook. Because there's not a lot to be optimistic about. It's very fair, but... But, like, so fucking what? Like, that will never help. Like, you cannot sell.

Yeah, it has to be. This thing's going to change your fucking life. So I just think, like, the right gives that message of self-improvement and betterment. Even if it's bullshit, a young 20-year-old wants to get hopped up on some bullshit to improve their life. And they want to have something to kind of, like, aspire to.

And they all just went, fuck this. Yeah.

Like we're going to do something. And they did something. They fucking changed the world and made it a million times better. They did incredible things. It was just by people like coming together and realizing they have power. And I think the left needs that message, like an optimistic message and not give up because what fucking Corbyn lost a couple of times.
