Summary
In 2024, conservative-leaning online spaces emphasizing traditional masculinity gained mainstream influence, driven by figures like Joe Rogan and trends like the “tradwife” movement.
Platforms like X, under Elon Musk’s ownership, became hubs for anti-“woke” sentiment, while podcasting further amplified right-wing ideas.

Knowing nonsense vs knowing useful info, I’ll pick useful any day of the week. But, you do you.
You might not hear it (because it’s not useful info!) but everyone in the world is clapping and cheering for you :)
A new level of cool has finally been achieved!
