Modern folks aren’t used to this kind of man, but whether or not you agree with his particular economic or social philosophy, its important to understand that men who are willing to put skin in the game are the only ones who matter in the field.

You are livestock.
The real men are making a comeback, and they will come in various shapes, sizes and colours. Make friends with the ones who have your interests at heart, because you won’t like the other ones much. Don’t fear masculinity, celebrate it, for it will be your salvation from this nightmare we call clownworld.
