No, no.

But I think the part that's correct is, yes, they're identities that are constructed on the idea of an other and a kind of venomous and dangerous cabal, if you like.

And a sense that there's these evildoers who attempt to outflank them and that they in turn have to match the perceived level of threat of the enemy by being just as dangerous or more dangerous.

So I think that's very true.

And oddly, in the Manosphere, it's a kind of conspiracy that they cast as having a Jewish, they put a sort of Jewish lens, not Jewish lens, they put a Jewish character on what they perceive as what they call a matrix.

This sort of international cabal of powerful financiers and thought leaders who are attempting to keep the population subjugated.

And among the settlers, they see the Palestinian other, but a Palestinian other that's being supported by the West, by European loans and kind of sort of, I suppose, globalist kind of enemies.

A satanic cabal, yeah.

I don't think it's all artificial, but some of it is performative.

And I do think to some extent these modes are not binary.

Like we all go in and out of different registers, right?

And perform ourselves in ways that aren't consistent

Um, I, I think that, I think there's a time, you know, I think there's times when they say things for effect that like HS ticky tocky real name, Harrison Sullivan and Essex influencer and fitness guy who we follow.

He, there's a moment where he goes around, we see, we see footage of him going, fuck the Jews again and again, chanting it.

And, um, and, and truthfully, um,

I don't think there's much thought behind it.

I don't think he's really particularly troubled by the idea of Jewish people.

I think he just knows that it's outrageous and it will be picked up.

But at the same time, I think he is genuinely sexist, like in the old fashioned sense.

I think he's someone who thinks that women are basically just a way for him to get his sexual needs met.
