Here we go again fellas. We are back to being enemies to be suppressed.

What? The article says you're back to "seeing the world that many thought dead: one where individual achievement matters, where male ambition serves a purpose, and where great men still shape the course of history."

You didn't read the article.

I did. You didn’t read the internet last night.

No new knowledge was gained here. This was all well known and ignored in 2016. We are back to where we were before. Enemies to be feared.

I read the article as a celebration that people are finally recognizing that living in reality has some merit. Reality being that men/white men are not "the enemy".

No that’s just the shit shoveling rags like quillette and Atlantic do. The author is insufferable and kept more on top of her schmoozing agenda than she did on figuring out why people voted. It’s like the article with the woman going into welding: looking, but not seeing. Fucking classists, they have no shame. It’s like they’re chronicling a page in their journal of investigations into alien life forms.

Wake me up when people start saying: “you know, if I was in your situation I would have voted for trump too.” Then, and only then, can we have a decent discussion around issues and solutions.

(Inb4 “did we read the same article?” - I assure you, we did.)
