I struggle sometimes with recommending people go to therapy these days unless I can help them find a good one, but I want people looking for therapy to at least know what is "normal bad" vs "worse than normal." Proper expectations can save lives. daystareld.com/the-bad-therap…

Kudos for trying to reclaim the word "patriarchy," I guess? Labels aside, I agree much more than disagree. Young men are drastically in need of non-toxic role models. Without them, inceldom/The Red Pill have an uncontested field in transmuting pain and confusion into misogyny.

Big-name actors sometimes have so much starpower they can "force" rewrites of scripts. Dunno what the balance of power was on the GoT set, but if ever society needed actors to go "prima donna," it was then. I think together, Peter, Emilia and Kit could've gotten D&D replaced.

IME, most who feel this way just aren't close to many STEM people. They often only interact in contexts where their own comparative advantage is exaggerated, or STEM weaknesses highlighted. Interest and practice should not be confused with smartness. But that goes both ways.

I think I more commonly see anti-capitalist people describing some form of crony-capitalism, rent seeking, price collusion, or straight up corruption. But it is often these things too, yeah.
