I just discovered the term "petro-masculinity" to describe the fucking convoy and it's so perfect. I love finding new words for things.

@neauoire this reminds me, have you heard of the book “the sexual politics of meat”?
@aw no, haha, but I can guess what it's about. I remember in the early days of BTC, there was this crowd of crypto bros who ate nothing but red meat.
@neauoire I heard about this recently and a bunch of them ended up in the hospital 😬. "fiat food"
@neauoire Term coined by Cara Daggett in the paper 'Petro-masculinity: Fossil Fuels and Authoritarian Desire'.
Emily Atkin(Heated) used that in a newsletter a while back too :P.
