@alimcforever: Before the empire taught boys not to cry… British men wept at poetry. They sobbed at plays. Emotions were noble. Romantic. Human. Then came the boarding schools. The Empire. The stiff upper lip. A propaganda tool. Designed to train cold men to conquer. This isn’t culture—it’s control. Emotional repression = imperial weapon. #decoloniseyourmind #propaganda #stiffupperlip #stoicism #historytok #militarytiktok #DidYouKnow #LearnOnTikTok #patriarchy
The 19th and 20th century was the militarization of men. And we still suffer from that today.

wow! the best analysis of Anglo Saxon ruling class cultural today from corporation's to charitable institutions. it is also hidden in left wing "woke" political policies. a culture of suppression and suppressed emotions.

Cultured sensitivity was likewise weaponised to dehumanise the working class and justify oppression. See Matthew Arnold for example.

I think for working class men it's similar but different? Often, the only permitted emotion is anger and the only permitted exprression is physical or lewd (and the inverse for working class women)...

interesting. but I believe humanities heart of darkness COULD be inherently violent. I don't think the last 200 years of propaganda has changed the British man's nature. it's a human thing

French and old English had entirely melded by 14th century. 18th C is modern English understandable now although working class would have spoken in dialects.

i have always been a very emotional person and because I'm a man I was taught not to connect with this which caused me a lot of problems. it took a lot of decolonization and healing to get over it

Any good literature on this, something that expounds on this cultural shift from open emotivity to militaristic stoicism?

I think you are confusing upper class artists with men.. Men cry, sure, but its the type of crying Achilles did.

I’ve been really enamored with this throughline of emotional control you’ve been presenting. Is there some reference you’d suggest on a grounded history of it? It absolutely feels post Foucault

One of my favourite facts is that the colour pink was considered a more masculine colour and blue being more feminine.

Its insane how emotions can be considered a sign of weakness, it’s not weak to feel, it takes immense strength and courage to allow yourself to feel what many do anything to avoid ever feeling
