    Basically a video covering a meme that was trendy for some short time called "Reject Modernity, Embrace masculinity", which is a riff of the "Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition" meme....

    Basically a video covering a meme that was trendy for some short time called "Reject Modernity, Embrace masculinity", which is a riff of the "Reject Modernity, Embrace Tradition" meme. Unfortunately, this riff is more based around the sincere reactionary usage of the term and the videos are basically shitting on Trans people and men who wear dresses followed praising Bodybuilders and often militarism, which the author calls out as cringe reactionary shit, even if he likes the bodybuilding parts.

    I’ve seen this go around some. I think it’s strange that the fictional character Thomas Shelby has become a beacon of manliness for some of these types. Where do we go from here?
