jv last in the bulwark (sorry abt the paywall, i'll quote as much as possible_) talks about hawley's sorry little book "manhood." i'm sorry, i did not read the book, but i did watch carlson's testicle tanning video. carlos lozada says that hawley begins on the right track and compares it to arthur schlessinger's 1958 essay on "the crisis of american manhood." [Hawley’s] new book, “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs,” draws on biblical influences — the stories of Adam, Abraham, David and Solomon in particular — to combat the malaise of American men, so addled by video games and pornography and troubled by depression and drug abuse that they cannot discern their calling. “They have no template,” Hawley worries, “no vision for what it is to be a man.” Men are called to cultivate and protect and expand the Eden that is Earth, Hawley writes, to confront evil, embrace servanthood, privilege duty over pleasure, discipline their bodies and order their souls. They must “start families and build homes and leave legacies of character that will span generations.” The senator is unapologetic about finding solace in the past. “American men, it is time to wake up,” he writes in his final chapter. “It is time to become free men, as your fathers and grandfathers were.” . . . but, and here is reason the "war on woke" is so ludicrous, you're fighting the wrong enemy.
then they are not the "liberal elite," we do not get to ride limos to starbucks or dine on arugula because we are lazy or stupid.
