small business owners, white guys who never felt empathy before doing mushrooms then insist they've reached enlightenment and that everyone needs to do mushrooms, veterans.
white guys who never felt empathy before doing mushrooms then insist they've reached enlightenment and that everyone needs to do mushrooms
Imo these dudes are doing podcast / tech bro damage control. Critical support.
i want them to do the mushrooms, its good for them, i just want them to stop insisting that we all need to do mushrooms too. I love shrooms, I did not need them to realize that other people are just like me and have feeling just like I do. I realized that at like 11, pretty sure most not cis het white people do as well. they just need to proselytized to people who aren't me I guess.
I'm gonna be real, LSD helped me empathize, but not because I realized other people are just like me. I knew that.
It was because it helped me think in different ways, where I was recognizing different patterns than usual, and became more interested in plants, bugs, that kind of stuff.
It gave me a wider pool of experiences to draw on when empathizing. Now, when someone is stoked about a pretty plant or a bird or something instead of imagining what it would be like to be excited about it and empathizing from there, I can take a shortcut and draw straight from my experience being excited about that kind of stuff.
im glad its helped you in that way. It helps me be less anxious about things that dont really matter that much. like why do i care if my father disapproves of me? i disapprove of him!

This is so specific yet I know exactly who you're talking about lmao
there one at most house parties (if its a good house party)
the bourgeoisie
many people are saying this
Guys who change lanes every 2 seconds so they can drive faster. Does that really save you time my dude?
The libertarian in your college class that tries to always argue with your professor with extremely flimsy premises.
Guys who can't watch sports without yelling at the top of their lungs at every play.
Oh yeah and STEM lords who think that anything non stem is worthless.
I was that libertarian guy for a while, but I was also on benzos and don't remember anything from that time period so I feel like I'm able to understand just exactly how full of shit they all are
I also had a libertarian streak in highschool and distinctly remember shouting "Ron Paul" when my teacher mentioned seatbelt regulations.
Lmao, I thought I was being progressive because I was in a feeder school for Liberty University. Then I dropped out and went to public school then dropped out again and got a job, then realized I probably need to read about why it's nothing like what I was taught in any of my education centers.
The rest is dialectical historical materialism
Driving like a maniac and nearly killing 25 people just to save 87 seconds off of your drive.
I would say selfish, egotistical, angry, manipulative men who are obsessed with their image and status, and use any power they get in a way that harms the people around them and society at large. Evil business tyrants.
Waltuh
ok but actually the worst type(s) of guys are the guys who try to make people conform to harmful shit and are incapable of critical thinking
Guys who want to reform nazis and not just line em up against a wall
Star Wars guys still making videos about The Last Jedi in 2023 and still angry and upset Disney had the gall.
Sexpats: Mostly white dudes in their 50's-60's who move to SE Asia to sleep with prostitutes on a budget
As a white, masc-presenting guy myself, I've had a number of them try to talk to me about their exploits. They assume that everyone else is as sordid as themselves
white women sexpats are increasing. white woman are saying its empowering or whatever. 
Girlboss behavior
The worst type is the cis straight white wealthy ones. As you remove adjectives from that list the guy tends to be (but isn't always unfortunately) better. It increases the odds anyway.
The guys who are under the false assumption that all a father has to do is provide food and housing while the mother handles the rest.
It's a personal gripe, yeah, but I think that kind of thinking happens early where children use that to expect things from other men.
Boys grow up expecting not to do emotional labor and assume that women/femme people would. Women and femme people then have the whole financial disadvantage of not being cis men plus having to deal with cis men who think they have the easy work.
At the age when people my age having kids is getting common. So many stories about new dads not doing anything around the house while the new mom works all day then takes care of all household chores. My cousin's husband wasn't left alone to care for their first born until like 5 months in.
The kind of guy that jingles his keys weird, not like a normal person jingles their keys.
wtf not cool
I like twirling them and very rarely jingling them. But like, I am not normal.
I know it's kinda risky cause you can't tell with men how they'll take rejection but I always just wanna do elevator-eyes and deadpan just say "not with you"
me
"I'm just gonna play devils advocate real quick"

There's some good answers here but one of my least favourite gender-nonspecific guys (but tbh they most often turn out to be in the demographic of <30yo white western guys, shockingly) who think that skimming a Wikipedia entry is substitute for actual study and/or serious engagement with a topic. ("Wait, cypress is a country!?" moment.)
These guys reduce everything down to a single cause, often one that is deeply rooted in idealism and great man theory, and they fail to acknowledge the other moving parts of history/society/the environment etc. that influence behaviour and actions and historical events.
It's all deeply moralistic and they just seek out a reaffirmation of their own pre-existing biases.
It's not uncommon for me to encounter these people where they'll literally point to a study or a source which directly disproves the claim that they are making. The worst are the ones who, even when I explain to them how their sources contradict their conclusions, will refuse this and dig their heels in and do the "Nuh-uh, that's just, like, your opinion man..." routine because they cannot possibly fathom that the evidence would run counter to their preconceived ideas so they must be right based on vibes alone.
There's a couple of studies that have been encrusted into mainstream opinion based on terrible pop-science "journalism" that really boil my piss. That one study on how "most of the plastic in the ocean comes from Asia"? Yep, completely misconstrued.
But we've all seen images of rivers filled with plastic from South East Asia and Chiner bad!! so, of course, it's those damn Orientals wrecking up the place for us good, honest westerners again. Typical.
I really hate it.
