It's horrifying how some young Western men are so alienated by woke culture that they even admire the Taliban's twisted mindset, writes MARY HARRINGTON
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 28, 2021 | Mary Harrington

Amid the blood-spattered horrors of Kabul, perhaps the most startling response has been an outpouring of warlike passion from disaffected young Western men. But they’re not backing Western soldiers. They’re cheering on the Taliban.

Far-Right groups are gloating. One user on an online message board called the toppled Western-backed Afghan government ‘globohomo-clownworld’. He characterised this as powered by ‘liberalism, consumerism, secularism, usury, democracy, global capitalism… and most of all, feminism/women’s rights/women’s liberation’.

Such men consider abhorrent this value system that an America-led coalition spent trillions of dollars trying to instil, via two decades of Afghan ‘nation-building’.

These alienated men hate all of it – the whole woke world view, from racial tolerance to LGBT rights to feminism. And they’re lionising the Taliban as heroic anti-woke freedom fighters.

Young Western men are starved for outlets to express their masculinity. Unfortunately, they have no healthy outlets, so they seek any outlet.

It's why so many young white males emulate trashy rap culture. Black rappers are allowed to be masculine.

Young white men have sought to escape into gaming, but that's been invaded by the woke.

Young white men used to turn to the military, but that's been invaded by the woke.

I suspect that many young white men admire the Taliban's masculinity.

Conversely, many young white WOKE women date migrant thugs because they're not attracted to the whiny, feminist soy boys they claim to approve of.

Our culture is so messed up.

As a woman Mary, I am more horrified at the piss poor leadership coming out of DC, especially Madame Speaker Pelosie.

The Left has had ONE RULE regarding who they support, at least for my entire life: If they hate the United States, the are BFFs (Best Friends Forever) with the Left.

Human rights means absolute nothing to these people, with the exception of human rights very often being a tool to bring down pro-US governments.

...and yet the Left is allowed to operate in our political system.

Just look at someone like Tony Blinken - globalist, Ivy leaguer, political climber in DC and leftist politics, never spent a day in the real world outside of politics, and think tanks, yet somehow is worth several million dollars

Who DOESN’T want to see such people humiliated?

I read a story yesterday of a 34 year old women openly masturbating on a public beach with a vibrator.

Women have been behaving and the cultural rot in the west without ant doubt. Men wear long shorts on the beach, women wear dental floss up their butt. Now the latest is a bikini bottom so narrow in the front the labia sticks out. They call it labia cleavage swimwear

Western women are bat sh#t nuts. Maybe western men are starting to see some merit in putting a rein on women and admire the Taliban for a sense.

Hey, I’m pretty anti-woke but embracing the Taliban is just crazy.

These people are useful idiots for the woke neo-communists because they are going to be able to taint sane, moderate non-wokists with the same brush.

Maybe these young woke men here dream of owning their own goat.

Nice attempt at gaslighting (the article, not you C19fan). My anger at the criminal incompetence of woke leftists does not equate into some sort of unholy admiration of the Tolly-band.

Sure, there are some who are expressing such sentiments but I seriously doubt that they are sincerely held opinions. More like trolling by the insipid class. They are hardly prevalent.

and most of all, feminism/women’s rights/women’s liberation

Pelosi, Hillary, Whitmer, Gov Latoya, the Quad, and on and on. Can't imagine why people might not be down with females as leaders.

Everybody is looking for something to believe in.

The church is failing more than anyone or anything.

If genuine, the irony in this tweet is palpable.

Particularly given the utter, spectacular ineptitude (if not literal treason) of Edna St. Vincent Milley and Dementia Joe (who sniffs children and worse).

Women are messed up.
The Frankfurt School and others did it on purpose.

Interesting contrast.

I've often thought that one of these days Islam is going to extend the olive branch to white, western men, who have grown frustrated trying to find their place in an emasculated, feminized society that belittles them, demoralizes them, blames them for everything that's gone wrong, yet still expects these men to got to work each morning to pay for everything.

These men might come to think that Islam offers them a pretty good deal.

“How many Western women are going to melt at the sight of those macho bearded men and willingly offer themselves to them? The savages won’t even need to bother to rape them - they’ll get it without effort.”

Female bloodlines go back hundreds of years; male lines go back to the last time a place was successfully invaded.
