America and John Wayne used to teach masculinity, but in the early 70s the left and feminists started portraying American men as “macho”, and then immigration kicked in and we started importing millions of men not from the school of quiet masculinity, both gentle and strong, intelligent and thinking, brave and calm, but from “macho” cultures displaying the worst of the overt rooster type annoying, even fake male posturing and violent impulses, loud, brash, hiding fear with BS, lashing out, quick to anger and displays of power over the weak.
You just described Arnold Schwarzenegger perfectly.
Very good analysis.
I can’t agree with every bit of it, but the general sense is about right.
