First problem i'd like to mention is the use od the term "nice guy". This label very rightfully belongs to the field of popular psychology, aka bullshit psychology for individuals without the inteligence and empathy to pursue real-life studies of human psyche. "Nice guy" should mean someone entitled, not just any man who expresses insecurity, jealousy, vulnerability or any "beta male" behavior. Idk about cases with real people but the fact that e.x. Leonard from Big Bang Theory is labeled as "nice guy" nowadays says a lot about the society. I even heard vile comments that "it's always the nice guys who are the rapists" when it's clear that this label is very flexible and can include any "undesirable" man.

Second of all, the general culture on reddit; I am an extremely progressive person, but I will never accept bullying and bodyshaming with terms like "low value male" that is appearently tolerated on some subs, even if it is used to call out "flaws" like height or penis size that no man can reasonably influence. Male mental health subs have been attacked many times by these extremists who call any male vulnerability or venting incel behavior.

And lastly, as a young man suffering from Aspergers syndrome and anxiety disorder (that is into guys not women), I find comments about "self-inflicted" male loneliness nauseating. I am not saying the "loneliness epidemic" only affects men, but most men who struggle with loneliness to a pathological degree have some underlying condition that kind of explains it; and no, that condition is very often NOT simply "being an incel". Just because I have mental conditions that have been toxically associated with being "creep" or "coward" if a man suffers from them does not mean that I am one!

Hey guys, I know it is kind of cliché at this point, but I feel like my concerns are not being taken seriously in the real world, so I hope I can find empathy at least here.

I am just a 21 y/o skiny fat guy who has been lifting weights and overeating desperately for the past five to six years to pack on some muscles, but it simply doesn't seem to work for me. On top of that, as an unattractive man, I am being dehumanized and demonized; in the last days, I came accross vile comments complaining about the bar for male attractiveness literally "laying on the ground", comparing ugly men to lab rats, toxically advising young lonely men to "hit the gym" to become someone worthy of affection as if that solved anything for someone with bad genetics, etc. And it always hurts seing cynical takes on physiques of some guys who just want advice and most comments are just like "I don't believe you've actually been working out for 2 years...". Or seing people roasting someone's body even though the person has been working out.

Many people are just so obnoxious and disgusting and would not give a fuck about what I have been through, that I have suffered from orthorexia during my teens, avoiding sugar and white flour paranoically to protect the last bits of testosterone and muscle definition I felt I had, that I cried over my pathetic body so many times that evdryone in my family started dismissing me as "whiny" only person taking me at least half-seriously being my therapist.

I'm so glad there are still at least some safe spaces left to let these frustrations out. I'm feeling better now. Thank you

Ahoj, před pár týdny jsem ztratil blízkého člověka (velmi starého a nemocného, takže by běžné zemřel možná týdny/měsíce později) kvůli nekompetenci doktorky která nebrala vážně stížnosti na zhoršující se stav a varovné příznaky. V souvislosti s tím mě napadlo; jak vlastně mají pacienti řešit situace, kdy se jim nepovede dostat předpis na lék, který by jim výrazně pomohl. Může se to stát třeba jen proto, že jim vyjde nějaký důležitý ukazatel jen těsně v normě, ale přitom abnormálně vysoko/nízko. Je to relevantní nejen v mé současné zdravotní situaci, ale hlavně pro celou moji širokou rodinu, kde se dědí různé divné náchylnosti k abnormálnímu tlaku, šelestům na srdci atd. Přístup k lékům by se podle mě měl liberalizovat. Je tu někdo, kdo souhlasí?

Seznam zprávy popisují, jak Trump plánuje rozhazovat rozpočet na zahraniční pomoc na "konzervativní projekty v Evropě"

Nevíc mě pobavilo;

> Další finance mají zamířit také ke skupinám ve východní Evropě a na Balkáně, které podle americké administrativy brání západní civilizační hodnoty.

Taky mě zaujalo jak prezident za jednu z pouhých dvou relevantních stran v USA, která se tu druhou snaží už otevřeně kriminalizovat a rozložit, chce v Evropě podporovat "politickou soutěž".

Tohle smrdí silně snahou o další agresivní vyměšování do vnitřních záležitostí našeho kontinentu, ale nepředpokládám, že by to dezolátům vadilo tak jako Soros podporující menšiny (ze svých vlastních peněz, ne z prostředků daňových poplatníků)

Aktuálně.cz píše;

Ve zprávě o extremismu už není zmínka o SPD. Dva autoři zprávy z vnitra odcházejí. (nemůžu sdílet odkazy, jinak mi reddit sníží dosah)

SPD jsou a budou extremisti a do zprávy o nenávistných politických hnutích patří. Český stát už je natolik slabý, že není schopen transparentně přiznat když ho vedou minimálně z části extremisti. Možná by bylo dobré konečně opustit ten blud, že z extremistické ideologie se automaticky stává "zdravý rozum" jen proto, že získá hordu následovačů.

Today I have read some past discussions on this sub regarding cultural and racial themes and I honestly I almost got physically sick from the amount of bigotry I encountered. I shouldn't really be surprised since virtually all Czech online spaces are like this, but the fact that this is a space where Czechs interact with foreigners makes it ten times worse since I must be deeply ashamed and scared of the international embarassment resulting from these comments that could prospectivelly affect me as a Czech living in the Netherlands. And research actually supports the gut feeling that Czech Republic could as well be one of the most racist countries in Europe. Are there any foreigners here who have actually felt this irl, or is it just me underestimating the disparity between comments/polls and real life behavior?

Even though my primary field are natural sciences, I am fascinated with racism and anti-minority aggression in a negative way from a sociological perspective, so pardon my rant. And thanks in advance especially for perspectives of foreigners that have been in Czechia.
