I can't even eyeroll hard enough to this take. The gay agenda is overpriced brunch, the anti-lgbt agenda is "elimination from public life."
How much do you hear about women's suffrage? None, because it became a non-issue as soon as we got it. If we hadn't I would still be in the streets not shutting up about it. It's the same with LGBT rights, you will only hear about it as long as it's actively being opposed. It's hard to express how much of a "okay, anyway…" being gay or trans is in liberal spaces. Pride month can become just as boring and ignorable as women's history month if we let it.
I think it's important to have empathy with the sorts of people who make this type of statement, from their perspective they are losing something, and that's hard. The problem is that what they're losing was built on the subjugation of others, it was a privilege. As a straight white man it took me a while to reframe my thinking around this, but I want to live in a world where other people get the experience I had growing up, rather than one where I can continue to have that experience at their expense.
I see parallels in my work as well, to bring this back to a more HN appropriate position. I've seen company cultures change, and early employees feeling like they lost something or the culture deteriorated, when it would be more accurate to say that the culture changed to be more accessible to new employees and that the team was better overall as a result.
As always, politics is a spectrum and not a two-faced coin like we purport it to be, as evidenced by the recent elections.
I can understand it, I fucking hate pooping in public. And I'm a dude.

...is that not part of the point?
I also use to have your reaction, but recently I've realized we need more engagement if we are to fix the issues our nation faces, not less.
It would be a toxic mix of stoicism, “survival of the fittest” mentality, affirmations of harmful stereotypes (ironically; mostly harmful to the people who feel validated by hearing it) and vague notions of being a leader and working hard-
Most people, especially supporters, don’t realise that Tates rhetoric is harmful to men more than women: you’re not a success unless $materialThing and $respectOfRandoms. Completely betraying the very real success of being genuinely respected and well regarded by your community and having a family that you support and love. If you took his advice seriously, you’d be very lonely.
Most of the things Andrew Tate pushes are not harmful. Stoicism isn't bad, it's massively undervalued in today's society. I'd say that most of today's modern sensibilities are the toxic influences that end up seriously harming the mental health of millennials and zoomers.
It's super easy to tell: the more in touch they're with them, the less reasonable they're, the more they get hung up on irrelevant things and have outbursts about completely asinine topics. They always have to be treated with silk gloves and if someone doesn't they'll try to get them cancelled.
Tate just adds silly amounts of narcissism as well, what people call "being alpha" and "sigma" right now. And that obviously ends up harming other people.
