hi matt

Big fan of this guy's raging

the curation of no way sna deserves every award

r|t|c, Thursday, 22 August 2013 14:12 (ten years ago) link

I first became aware of Matt P when he spitefully attacked my posting style out of the blue on some thread. Although at first I harbored a lot of resentment about his unwarranted remarks, my opinion of him has greatly warmed over the years. Only wish this dude the very best and all the weed he can smoke.

no way sna is an instant classic of a thread. always painfully otm.

matt p's rages are beautiful, like a flaming sword of an avenging angel

also his posts make me laugh a lot

⚓ (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 22 August 2013 14:22 (ten years ago) link

I like Matt P but every time he posts my mind goes back to:

hey matt prick what is your (long standing) problem?

This is trademark Matt P. Strikes out of nowhere like a viper. I went through the same thing. You gotta be just like "fuck it. whatever. I love this jerk." Because yeah he's a jerk, but he's an American classic.

i regret all of the stupid times i have expressed death wishes to people i don't know on the internet and would like to not do that any more, not that i regret the sentiment so much as the attention-grabbiness of saying it and the tendency it has to de-legitimize the arguments of better people who care enough to engage.

Evan, Thursday, 16 October 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link

for all those who don't get why matt p is an essential presence here, I will c&p an example of his brilliance

i see what mordy is talking about, a particular kind of pride in load-bearing physical or social work, of being a provider, and sense its effects on a lot of men i encounter. or maybe just men who are close to me. i think about it re: my own father a lot lately. it's sort of the interface of capitalism to family in my experience, a dosing of everyone through patient zero. of course i don't think this experience can be cleanly separated along gender lines or talked about independently of class or race. while acknowledging that the experience of women / trans / immigrant people who do this kind of work is much more precarious and in need of a basic safety net that i most certainly have, i still think it's important to think about how these structures affect us in our own privileged lives so we can do the right math and change our actions in various ways. it seems that the kind of resentment rife in MRA types is a symptom of the inability to do this, and rather than asking "why" of themselves they're blaming others reifying the same ugly power structures already in place that do the damage to them just as it does the damage to the already powerless. but privilege pissing contests (sorry) are helpful only to a point. maybe a question to ask is, how do we transfer pride in the kind of self-sacrifice men do for the families they simultaneously shut themselves off from to pride in being accountable to these inter-tribal relationships as such, plus reestablishing some kind of basic pride in courting relationships with others outside their tribe? (realize this is 'there' in other cultures. why should 'white western' culture be different? why not stop treating it with the exceptionality it is always making for itself?). pride in enlarging one's family, basically, in being ambassadors, not conquerors. how do we harness men's sense of gender identity to make gentle guardianship, not against other groups of people as such, but against dangerous behavior a priority? what would that mean? there seem to be lots of ways men can be (limited, non-omniscient) positive and non-violent gendered actors in socially productive ways where values are inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual learning, wildness, the other, the unknown, the mysterious, the culturally significant, etc.

i found the question in this piece (http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2014/10/15/male_allies_confusing_for_feminism.html) on being strong, but not to dominate, an interesting one that was maybe dismissed too quickly by the author. obviously physical strength as a socially positive trait for men in white supremacist patriarchal capitalist society is one that is in dire need of being balanced with a "ton" of other traits that men are failing at. but i don't think it needs to be dismissed, just qualified in a number of ways, that strength for strength's sake is actually ok and good, it doesn't have to be harnessed to any psychotically 'productive' domineering force, it can be inward-looking, it should be available to and encouraged for women, for queer and trans people alike. men should be able to take pride in various aspects of their bodies, which have properties that exist nebulously along a gender spectrum. one shouldn't be diminished just because others need burnishing. in general i think we should be more honest and encouraging about what we do value, what is building and sustaining us, and use that to ask how we can keep doing so only much better for more people with the courage to change behavior that is destroying ourselves and others. xps
