This best part of that quote, is that it’s the conservatives and the right-wing that are the weak men.
Weakness in that context is not about being physically strong or working hard. Its weakness that has allowed the owner class to siphon money from the workers for decades. That’s the weakness.
The blue color men from several generations ago were strong. They put in place worker protections, they gave us the minimum wage, they made it so single income could support a family. They fought, and sometimes died, for the worker.
And this made soft little boomer and younger conservative babies, who in their softness thought that they were special and hard-working, and that collective action wasn’t needed. They allowed Union protections to be stripped away because they, in their individualism, thought they didn’t need it.
And now we’ve realized that we need to be strong again, and fight again, to make up for what those weak ass babies lost us.
precisely. the quote isnt necessarily wrong, but it always gets bandied around by people that cant differentiate between having a backbone and having (somebody elses) stick up their ass
People who don’t remember fall for the lies of „Strong“ men
„Strong“ men try to consolidate power by destabilising the state and undermining the seperation of powers. (Creating hard times for everyone except themselves)
„strong“ men get dethroned if the times are hard enough. (by desperate people)
"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” – G. Michael Hopf
If I am left wing and the body-left moves left then I am right wing. Extreme Left wing circles around to become extreme right and then moderate.
They call it history. You spell it P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A, and the most well read of you think that it’s a small country in east central Africa.

And we’re bitter about it.

I fixed it for you:
Nah. Those are not my words. It’s a quotation. You may not have experienced those in your long life.
Did you actually read the list of contradictory statements you’ve written.
Bless.
