The voice of reason
|
This is a very succinct and good article about the documentary I feel. Theroux has been going for low-hanging fruit for some time now (and missing the point)..
To paraphrase Mohammed Ali’s famous quote about the Vietcong: no manosphere loser ever crashed a plane into the Twin Towers. No manfluencer ever blew themselves up on a tube carriage during morning rush hour. Ain’t no Andrew Tate ever denied Afghan girls the right to an education. Ain’t none of his followers stormed the Batalcan in Paris to slaughter innocent concert goers. Now I don’t want to give the dudes of the guy-o-sphere a free pass here: they are, without a doubt, noxious grifters monetising the insecurities of troubled young men — and they absolutely deserve to be showered with unrelenting disdain for that. But they are not the Muslim Brotherhood. The manosphere undoubtedly has less influence on Western youth than the Quran or the network of conservative imams that preach the Mecca brand of misogyny from the countless mosques that have been artificially grafted onto the European landmass like a Turkish hair transplant by decades of uncontrolled mass migration. Even if we remove jihadis from the equation here on the basis that they only represent an extremist fringe of the community, we can confidently argue that a far more oppressive form of misogyny is baked into Islamic dogma than Western patriarchy. But don’t expect Louis to interrogate this anytime soon. Full article is below - https://thecritic.co.uk/what-louis-theroux-ignores/ |
