Democrats Totally Understand Straight Men: An Evolving Series

Scott Jennings hints that Tim Walz might not be well-equipped to talk to straight men.

Walz imagines that it's "code talk" when men talk about manly things. We're not really talking about the things, I guess he believes, we're really just exchanging codes or shibboleths establishing our identities as straight men.

The left is really gripped by gnostic concepts -- like the idea that the real, physical world is just "socially constructed" and that by changing words we change reality.

Essentially, the left believes, nigh-universally, in witchcraft. They believe that words can be used to cast spells to change physical reality.

Meanwhile, via Ed Driscoll at Instapundit: an "influencer" claims that all of the "conservative" young men she knows are actually liberals:

In fairness, I would say that the people she's talking about are college-attending "conservatives," who skew more liberal than non-college-attending conservatives. I've observed this ten thousand times myself, including the example of myself.

I would also note that one of the most important drives of any young straight man is to find and court a mate, and with college-attending women being absolutely batshit leftwing lunatics right now, young men will tend to claim "I'm not like the other conservatives" and offer their half-hearted endorsements of the issues that college-age women think are the most important.

But that doesn't really mean they believe it or, even if they do believe it, that it's something they'd actually vote on. Everyone is very aware of the very real phenomenon of trolling pro-abortion rallies to get laid. Countfeiting your beliefs to please stupid 20-year-old liberal chicks just a scootch is a very common courting deception.

I've mentioned before that Jordan Peterson now thinks that this habit of adjusting beliefs to attract mates may now be working in the opposite direction: Younger Gen Z girls are dating somewhat older guys who have turned against the left, and are now expressing more conservative beliefs.

Some beliefs become socially accepted as "status-conferring" and some beliefs as "status-reducing." We are seeing a broad repudiation of leftwing bullshit and grievances, and they are losing their former status-conferring appeal. Because they're dogshit and only marginal, useless, mentally-ill dogshit people believe in them.

Also via Ed Driscoll: Andrew Stiles explains the Democrats' attempts to understand straight male "code talk."

EXCLUSIVE: Inside the Democratic Party's Strategic Efforts To Enhance Receptivity in Masculine-Coded Heteronormative Cohorts Through Data-Driven Holistic Outreach
Andrew Stiles

Democratic donors and consultants have been meeting in luxury hotels to analyze the party's inability to connect with male voters and propose alternative communications strategies. The results, according to the New York Times, have often resembled "anthropological studies of people from faraway places." One liberal group is planning a $20-million campaign called "Speaking with American Men: A Strategic Plan," or SAM for short, that will "study the syntax, language and content that gains attention and virality" in masculine-coded heteronormative communities.

The Washington Free Beacon has exclusively and semi-legally obtained an early draft of the data-driven blueprint for communicative outreach. Enjoy!

BASIC CONVERSATION

Instead of:

"Hi there. What are your pronouns?"
"Nice to meet you. Read any good female novelists lately?"
"Good morning. Are you ready to combat fascism?"
"Good afternoon. May I have consent to shake your hand?"
"Crazy weather we've been having. Climate change is an existential threat to humanity."
"Don't call me ma'am. It reeks of patriarchy."

Please try:

"Hi, how are you?"
"Nice to meet you. Where are you from?"
"What do you like to do in your spare time?"

Overcorrection (do not try):

"Sup, bro? What do you like more--tits or sluts?"
"Wanna meet up later and do some 'roids?"
"For sure, I would totally let Joe Rogan bang my wife."

...

MASCULINITY

Instead of:

"I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck doing that. I could put them at ease. I was the permission structure to say 'look you can do this and vote for this.'"
"Part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you're coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that."
"Your rage does not exist in a vacuum. If we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage for your rage."

Please try:

Anything else.
