Notices every instance of someone with 37 followers posting something mildly overwrought, fails to notice one of the key players in national GOP messaging perpetuating one of the biggest and most bigoted lies of the 2024 election cycle.

In country after country the story is remarkably similar. The ascendant far right has succeeded in getting center-right and center-left parties to accept their issue frames, and no one to the left of the far right is making a compelling case for an alternative. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s also just coursing with an addiction to feeling like the smartest guys in the room by curating the most arrogant, niche set of incoherent grievances anyone could possibly imagine.

As a former subscriber, it’s worse than that. It’s rich white male centrism trying to have its “I’m cool” cake and eat its reactionary tendencies too by equating the petty things that annoy them about the left with the most malignant, destructive people on earth.

It's me, a Telegraph columnist, taking a break screaming bloody murder about fairness in the women's sports I wouldn't be caught dead watching to wax lyrical about academic integrity in sociology, a field I consider to be fake, at institutions I consider to be communist indoctrination centers.

If marginal tax increases were a slippery slope to authoritarian communism, wouldn’t it have happened by now? At least once? Many countries have had progressive taxation, business regulations, and welfare states for decades, yet not one went Soviet, or anything like it.

The Mamdani thing is hilarious because conventional Dems are all "how can he get away with this?" and his answer is to just ignore the yowling of the worst people on earth. Like just be completely unbothered by what some pundit-poisoned nitwits say. Just ... decide not to listen to them.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

I take a very small amount of comfort in the fact that with a trillion dollars he actually should be much more powerful than he is, at least as a personality, but instead he’s torched his reputation worldwide. (It’s not much, but I need something.)

It’s the curse of a centrist-coded mainstream media. I suspect Pelley would argue that in order to establish credibility with “the middle” he needed to make sure it didn’t look like he was painting them as angels. How about you guys just report what’s news and leave it at that?

I just realized what it is: it’s the new “cancel culture,” a thing that never really existed in any meaningful way but which they talked into a moral panic for a few years.

Jim Ryan @jim-ryan.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

society is messaging negativity about men, at least compared to the horrifying messaging women and girls have been subjected to for, like, all of human history. There’s been maybe a 20% shift from “men rule,” toward “hey maybe women are cool too” and everyone is losing their shit.

I will devote some time to watching it…I’m just so bored by the whole conversation and the NYT/Atlantic obsession with how the men are doing, along with white people in diners. I get it, I have a 19-year old son…but he gets it too. I just think folks are massively overstating the extent to which…

Hence the flocking of insecure men to the manosphere and adjacent figures who will coddle their fragile egos and tell them they are being oppressed, when really all that is happening is a slight reduction of their oppression of others.

Jim Ryan @jim-ryan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

That’s it. It is men who are reacting like petulant losers and taking great umbrage with those relatively benign, self-evident statements. It is men who are terrified of the loss of default dominance and the reduced impunity with which they used to be able to operate in the world. 5/

Jim Ryan @jim-ryan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

1. Men are massively disproportionately responsible for violence in the world, especially against women…(and please don’t say “not all men” as that is not what I or anyone else said); 2. Men do not have a right to default dominance in their homes, workplaces, communities, or countries; 4/

Jim Ryan @jim-ryan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

That insecurity can be found in the very assertion that “all they are hearing is men are bad,” which is quite literally not all they are hearing, nor is it even what they are hearing. What they’re hearing, at worst—and not nearly enough—are a couple related things: 3/

Jim Ryan @jim-ryan.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

It doesn’t make individual men and boys bad unless they’re raised to be insecure about their status in the world. I have no problem owning my privilege and doing what I can to atone for my ancestors’ crimes and allow for a world where I am not dominant simply by virtue of my sex or race. 2/

You tell him that just as e.g. white Americans hold collective intergenerational responsibility for slavery even though not all white Americans were slaveholders and some were abolitionists, men hold collective intergenerational responsibility for the oppression and violence we’ve perpetrated. 1/
