What is toxic shame?

Going out on a limb to expand on this and connect a lot of dots...

Toxic Femininity is toxic shame of anger, of self interest, and of boundaries. Toxic Masculinity is toxic shame of sadness, of inadequacy for a task, and of integration.

Notice people demonizing anger and calling even an offhand comment that might possibly imply some frustration on the part of the commentor a "microaggression?" They are beholden to, and acting to instill in the minds of children, toxic shame of anger, so that no one understands themselves, and thereby so that no one successfully stands up for what is actually their basic human rights, for which anger could be considered the key emotional tool of the human brain. They then exploit this misunderstanding for unearned support and positions of leadership and power, in a word, socialism.

Demonization of sadness, inadequacy, and integration has been used successfully when the majority of family cultures leaned into toxic masculinity, like in the 50s and 60s when the conservative trads were en vogue and largely overshadowed both the austrolibertarians and the Chicago school economists. It was an overreaction to the socialist nonsense that infiltrated the West in the decades prior. But as ever, its leanings were into a mere rebranding and redirection of the coercive privileges of socialism, the counterproductivity of which people were not up to the task of understanding.

Reactionary overreach doesn't end until you, yourself, as an independent node in society, can understand the distinctions between these concepts, reason logically how they play out, and put your curiosity and self interest to work creating a life for yourself in harmony with reality and at ease with who you are as a person.
