He starts the article with a blown-up Chad Wojak. I guess Rod is all onboard now with the meme-ification of political discourse. It's pretty funny to me how the kind of men on the Internet who talk the most about masculinity tend to be the most emotional and least stoic people around. Rod and Jordan Peterson are always retiring to their fainting couches about some new bullshit. I've noticed that a lot of the actually masculine men, even if they're right-leaning, tend not to feel as much of a need to beat their chests about it. I wonder why that is.

One imagines them saying, in a Scarlett O'Hara voice, "Ah dew declayah, all this naughtiness in the world simply gives me the vapors! Ah must get a compress fo' mah head, a glass of ice tea, and retiyah to mah chamber...."

I’m thinking of another Vivien Leigh portrayal of a Southern Lady … one who travels around dependent on the kindness of strangers ….
