Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

In terms of how stupid some Americans are being right now, some go on about "bringing back coal" when it makes no sense whatsoever.

I think it is because coal is 'manly' (because it involves dirt, unnecessary risk and horrible death from lung diseases) whereas solar power and electric vehicles are 'feminine.'

Yes, they really are going to destroy their country over gender-coding-based ignorance.

Are you sure it's not just you that has thought of the gender stuff ? Are the Americans smart enough to have thought of their solar panels as feminine ?

Yes, it is probably a small minority of MAGA weirdos that I'm talking about. But they seem to have all the power over there these days.

So basically, whilst MAGA are anti-Gender affiliation to humans, they are OK to associate inanimate objects a gender based on Trumped up verbal diarrhoea?

Not so much "affirming," in the same way, but just judging things according to a gender lens.

Fossil fuels, warmongering and red meat are "manly" (not themselves men) and thus good.

"Windmills," international co-operation and veganism are weak and bad/wrong.

Why are they all climate science deniers (or just ignoramuses)? Because it undermines or goes against their entire worldview.

Relevant to the title of the thread: Another thing about fascism is that it is a death cult.

Fascists valorise the fallen hero warrior and keep finding more and more enemies to fight.

If America is going down that route they will kill their golden goose and plunge the world in darkness and depression.
