About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

Here's more, the evidence is massive and every major institution is reporting on it, but people like you are tuning out and not caring because it just seems like more "gender war nonsense" or "internet arguing" which is exactly the point of what they've been doing for decades, making it so people get mad at anyone who raises awareness of outside influence in our social discourse because you're all tired of caring. I get it. You are not "talking reason to a conspiracist" here, you're a victim of warfare.

Your personal feelings are irrelevant, this is a huge issue that you can google and get avalanches of reports, stories, data, evidence and facts. But for some reason people aren't caring as much about facts anymore... hmnnn, interesting.

You're both right, though. Russia is amplifying the toxic masculinity culture, which absolutely started in the pre-internet era.

You’re both right

I'm highlighting how this is a huge issue, they're downplaying it and saying male height insecurity hasn't been played up by Russian and other national interests, and I not only know for a fact they were, I have had firsthand access to the scenes behind the curtains where people have been on the frontline of tracking and stopping foreign online influence. A lot of great people did a lot of great work we'll never hear about, but enough of the shit bled through and took hold in American culture that it will never be shaken now. We have several generations of backwards, dark-ages masculinity bullshit and gender division ahead of us because we were too tolerant of intolerance and we didn't take threats seriously. Like the user above.

I appreciate you understanding the issue, but to say we're both right is a contradiction in this context.
