the desire to put an end to all hierarchies and authority - the state, capitalism, patriarchy, racism - and establish a truly free and equal society
akin to anarchism
implies that the means will suit the goal - that a horizontalist society will be achieved by means of bone idleness - a general strike and a nice few days in bed!
She is a true radical horizontalist - she wants revolution but never does a blimmin thing about it!!!
Horizontalism is for lazy revolutionaries. The ones who can barely be bothered to be Facebook activists.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
