Just personally disgusting how toughness is now bought these days.
I feel as though American masculinity is so consumer based now. The right hair cut, the right clothes, the right hobbies, the right truck, the right stupid accessories for that stupid truck
For a lack of a better word my mind goes to the name “Weak” when I see these assholes. Weak and dependent on their big oil fetish.
They buy their toughness and masculinity instead of earning it through challenge, personal growth, and respect.
I’m sick of the urban assault vehicle crew. Often the normal thing men do where I live is buy a truck, buy some racks and accessories, but some stupid cooler and strut around like Rambo peacocks.
They pay between 60 to 100 thousand dollars to look like tools. It's very similar to people who spend 40k+ on Harley motorcycles. No one gives a shit about their truck or bike except for them and other tools.
It's mostly marketing right? "Buy this thing to show you are a real tough man." "This truck can tow more than other trucks, and you'll never tow jack shit" etc
