My personal take: conservative men are obsessed with a toxic concept of manliness, and hold it as a monolithic and primary value, which is why they like to fall in line under large, angry people.
LGBTQ+ people confuse them, there are women who act more like men, and men who act more like women, challenging their conceptions.

Wealth inequality is one of the legs of discontent that will tear this nation apart in the next 30 years. We are starting to hit Depression level inflation on food and housing, and it won’t be long before a bunch of angry parents can’t feed their kids.
Every single large scale test of UBI has resulted in massive positive outcomes for the most needy and secondary and tertiary benefits to the community and local economy in general.

We are all owned, bought and sold. Cattle to push the engine of commerce so that 10 people can own half the world.
