Louis Theroux: Inside The Manosphere - videoneat.com/documentaries/26…
Awful world out there full of idiots. But if you pay close attention to this documentary even these absurdities like the "manosphere" and "how to be a man" are under the direct influence of trade. Trade your bullshit online for views, likes, reactions, to in return get money, stuff, influence. It is so clear.
Trade really ruins everything.
