Power dynamics. Do you disagree?
Seriously though, this is fucking stupid. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I don’t think they were justified in mob beating this US soldier. Stay within your race and birth year is the message we’ll all be getting soon, then? Is anti-age gap really a common thing now among younger people?
I would figure maybe this was caused in part by conservative Catholic anti-sex brainworms and young guys feeling ownership of women their age and jealous that their classmates are dating older guys instead of being their Catholic trad wife. Hook up with a guy a few years older and we’ll lynch his ass? That’s the message.
When I was a young man I thought I was “raised Catholic” because my Catholic parents took me and my siblings to church weekly until we were each 18. But the older I got, the more I realized how fantastic they were at shielding me and my siblings from Catholic brainworms, after seeing what actually happens to the actual “raised Catholic” victims.
Both are being raised catholic, just in different ways. Conservative catholics don’t have a monopoly on the labels of the religion, but it sure seems like it could slide that way in the general public perception :/
Thinking back on it I realize how much they trusted me and my siblings to make our own decisions on religion. They never brought up religion in the home. They just brought us to church (which was definitely more of a social-pressure small-town thing in those days), let us listen, and think about it all ourselves.

I mean, c’mon here. The people who have been yelling about “age gaps” for the last 4+ years have not been Conservative Catholics & Incels. This is 100% a “cultural-left”, radlib phenomenon.
You miss that whole pizzagate / q Anon thing or what
You mean the conspiracy theory that
CW Sensitive topics.
“Washington D.C. Lizardmen are trafficking elementary-age minors using a Pizza Restaurant as a front organization”?
Yes, I’m aware of that. It’s also an obviously unrelated form of brainworm to what’s going on here.
I disagree a bit. I know of a not-insignificant portion of young misogynistic guys who are angry at women their age for dating older guys instead of them. They were around even when I was the age of the guys in this article and that was a while ago. I always felt like that fed into a lot of guys buying into the Alpha Male discourse that come around later. Probably related to incels too, but not sure which came first.
There is totally a radlib thing about age gap and that’s also stupid, of course, but there’s definitely a reactionary, misogynistic ownership aspect that’s been festering for a long while.

I do not deny that there are lots of men who get mad about women dating other men, for lots of reasons. My issue here is with the unevidenced assertion (we don’t have the original article here) that this assault specifically is being driven primarily by that specific specie of brainworms. People like to ascribe every bad thing that happens only to their opponents, and never to flaws in their own house.
Further reasoning but CW for sensitive subjects.
If they wanted to get back at women for dating older men, they would’ve just assaulted a woman; rather than picking a fight with a male soldier who, even they would imagine, could presumably fight back.
Well, like the other Comrade said, are we really going to split hairs here? Angry men attending a private Catholic college in Massachusetts allegedly involved in the “anti-pedo” fight and totally misdirecting violence and attack an outside guy coming in to have sex with ‘one of their own’? That’s kinda textbook reactionary shit.
I really don’t think some Starbucks radlibs did this.
Also, for the record, radlibs are my opponents too.
(article was linked below, by the way)
They’re just doing what the unions want. Do you disagree?
Power dynamics. Do you disagree?
It’s hilarious because interracial marriage should be absolutely banned under that logic, as would wealth-gap disparity and
wait
heterosexual marriage would be banned too
was the pedophile witch-hunt a secret GAY psyop all along?
Exactly!
I would always say that to my radlib ex that would argue against age gap relationships because there were “power dynamics”—I swear to God, sometimes I truly wonder if she was LiberalSocialist—but she was a conventionally attractive White woman with a good career who made way more money than me, a broke POC with no career. Like, how can people not see the logical conclusion of this?
I feel like we’re splitting hairs here the correct takeaway should be imo that it’s always ok to beat up a US soldier
ok nvm i stan them good job
You’re right, Comrade. I take back what I said.
Their desire to beat a US soldier was justified but their analysis was wrong.
why is always when some shit like this gets posted i see a bunch of reactionary comments on hexbear like ‘oh well i guess we all have to date someone born the same SECOND as us HUH? I better tell my WIFE I’m a P*DO because there’s two years between us!!’ like come the fuck on
i get it, idpol’s gone wild and the youth are nutso but do you really have to throw out the nuance?? maybe i’m misreading things but it feels like some of yall get really defensive when this topic comes up, and as a result we can never have any valid discussion about this topic without someone throwing some reddit-level bad faith thing at you for saying ‘yes, there is some truth to age-gap discourse’
If you used discord between 2021-2023 it was just a bunch of racist honkeys cutting themselves and calling each other pdf files
It might also still be like that, I wouldn’t know because I don’t talk to honkeys anymore
18 and 22. Both college aged young adults. Such a terrible age gap.
Age gap ‘discourse’ is just cheap moralism. Vapid self-righteousness is like the zoomer internet brainrot equivalent of boomers howling about immigrants
for fuck’s sake
a 22 year old was beaten up for dating an 18 year old
they were a us troop
