the ideology of these guys is so ridiculous

"oh yea i’m such a tough manly man, when there’s a zombie apocalypse while all you soyboys die i’ll be surviving in my manly cabin and providing for my family 😎😎😎

huh? a pandemic? i need to stay at home and wear a mask in public? this is infringing upon my rights!!! this is violating my freedom to go to mcdonalds!!! i will roll over you in my oversized air conditioned monster pickup for this!!!"

Made me chuckle, thanks

not to mention they're all obsessed with the idea of the power grid failing and causing mass societal breakdown, while living in a country actively depriving Cuba of a power grid and watching as they just sorta vibe and work together

[–] HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml 19 points 6 days ago

Tough men don't tend to brag about their toughness and put down others. If you're so insecure that you make posts like this you're not nearly as tough as you think you are.

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

The really sad thing is that there's almost something to this. There are practical everyday skills that would be useful in an emergency.

The problem is that these doinks have decided that being an asshole or misogynist has anything to do with felling a tree or making a fucking cottage. No one thinks fixing a car is Toxic Masculinity dipshits. You're not Toxic because you can pour concrete, you're Toxic because you put your hand up the waitress's skirt, and that has nothing to do with God damn concrete.

You wanna be strong and supportive, how about being strong and supportive 365 days of the year when there isn't a zombie apocalypse or natural disaster, rather than fantasizing about one day being able to wield your skills as leverage to coerce people into having to put up with your bullshit.

Get fucked, I don't want to live in the compound you've decided you're king of, I'd rather feed the local wolves.

Three dudes that all have and love the same body type, clothing, style, hairstyle, and beardstyle... Living alone and surviving together, secluded in the woods in a VERY small, cozy cabin.

Huh.

"Y'all are just weak. Nobody likes or needs pussies, only hard, hairy men."

The beards on these fascist idiots ARE on point, though.

And I'm not ONLY saying so because my own is similar 😁

[–] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I see the three bears but where’s Goldilocks

In the cabin where they left him

To be fair, linemen (the high voltage guys who fix the grid) are usually tough as nails. These guys look like their dad worked in construction.

I love to build a log tent thing when I have a perfectly fine cabin 100 feet away

[–] gex@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Oh no! The grid went down, I'll go build a log tent 5 meters from my log cabin

[–] MoonMelon@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

Your log cabin that doesn't have grid power to start with.

They are planning to repopulate the earth by themselves and need more living space.

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

By the looks of that cabin, I think we all know where this story is going

Yeah that's not where I thought it was going lol 🕺🏳️‍🌈🕺🏳️‍🌈🕺

Shop smart, shop s-mart!

[–] CapnCat@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago

Let's be real, the most capable and resourceful person in that scenario is going to be a 45 year old single mother who's had to deal with the wiring in a shitty apartment

[–] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 week ago (2 children)

plot twist: they're in a gay menage a trois

[–] deathmetaldawgy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

They’re just fishing buddies …

thanks hotcock

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This has fucking levels damn

1 chopping block with axe but no firewood being chopped for log cabin that, by the smoke already had a fire going

2 hammering generator, randomly sitting in a field next to a cabin with no power hookups

3 lit lanturn in the day time

4 building log tent thing when there is a cabin there

I'm sure I missed some, these are becoming like the spot the differences things they print in the newspaper but the difference is between reality and the fever dream of a man with a beard fetish

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)
  1. chopped so hard they went flying. Always need more hard, hard, hot wood to stay warm at night when the blanket is on the floor.

  2. it's hard to focus when you're the youngest, on your knees, next to your bros who are working hard to take care of you.

  3. cozy.

  4. hello? Have you no joy or whimsy? It's okay to have fun with your ~~roommates~~ bros and create forts to cuddle together in.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago

Tough, calloused men who don't know how to wash their ass or engage in mutualist relationships with their broader community. These lone wolves will die of ass infections out in the woods watching the glowing lights of the solar-powered commune. Dying of malnutrition because eating vegetables is gay.

[–] Arcanepotato@crazypeople.online 15 points 1 week ago

Calloused != callous so I don't really expect them to be able to understand toxic masculinity is not required for being handy 🤷‍♀️

Also I'm staying the fuck away from angry power fantasy men during emergencies thanks.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry Kyle, beating a diesel generator with a hammer is not going to help much with fixing the power grid. Also, you're holding that hammer wrong.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

wife kicked him and their two large adult sons out of the log cabin for being annoying now he has to sleep under a lean-to in the front yard

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Such a cute gay polycule! 🥰

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Peak what? I’m old and need it spelled out.

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 7 points 1 week ago

its how the gen alphas in my family say great. It is irony lol

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Truly confident men aren't threatened by feminism. Acting in a way that earns the label "toxic masculinity" is itself a mark of weakness, not strength.

Just sayin'.

[–] nightwatch_admin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The slop makes it just perfect

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Gotta hammer that generator
