portnoy appears to be a guy who wants to be respected by respectable people for his success and resents that this isn’t forthcoming. and it’s like, i don’t know what to tell you dude — that’s life1

Amazingly, as an adult white male, I've never used the N word in any context, nor sung along with it in any song. I don't think that is some sort of difficult thing to do, or unfair in any way. I have never spoken aloud a bunch of other slurs I am familiar with against other groups either. Easy.

he's a classic "little guy" he "busted his ass" to become wealthy and cultivated an abrasive, alpha persona because he always feels small now he's upset because the end result of all his wealth/media 'empire' is people thinking he's a loud dipshit with regressive beliefs and he's still short

I don’t feel bad at all for Portnoy, he brought this on himself and also his stance of a barstool union that he was against. Respect isn’t given, it’s earned. He hasn’t earned any of it especially his right wing stances just confirm that fact.

I think a major problem is that these people seem to have no art in their lives, no spirituality, no higher calling than just to make a ton of money. They are empty of everything but resentment. Maybe they feel cheated, like someone tricked them into living this way. I don't know. That's the vibe.

That makes sense. Like they bought into the idea that simply making money is the end goal and they should be applauded and respected for doing that well. But the only people who do respect that are the grindset manosphere grifters who are mostly far right.

Yes. The ascent of trump and MAGA billionaires (e.g., musk ) is the direct result of the propaganda of the last 50 years or so equating wealth with wisdom; if one is rich, one must also be smart (and, thus, one’s views MUST be listened to) and one must be worthy of admiration and respect.
