No issue is free of empire.

If u think american masculinity is in crisis, you should understand this culture relies on coercing men into these options: 1. Sumbissive wage laborer 2. Cruel imperial soldier 3. Prisoner 4. Death

Fathers, lovers, providers, leaders, protectors, healers, poets, elders,even childhood is irrelevant to the media-military-industrial complex except producing flesh for the above. Women only matter in so far as they make more men or also offer themselves up to be grinded through. Without land, without owning the means of production, without re-establishing kin & community across generations, without coming from what is deeply human within us, there is no path. Everything else is a trap.
