Is my rejoycing illogical?

[Bobby]

Are we not seeing the downfall of the number one force in hating on white heterosexual males and more generally heterosexual males?

I tried to think of how the government shutdown might affect me adversely...

Nothing

Any thoughts?

[Bobby]

I say number 1, not because of vehemence, but power.

Is government not the great enabler of  most all hatred towards men?

And if hater is too strong of a word, how about usurper. As in usurping men's role

Rebirth of men, a corner is being turned at least; if not a reversal

I think you're too optimistic; I don't see the current hullabaloo over the debt limit as something which would truly limit the govt's power over men (or over women, for that matter). IMO things have room to get worse before it gets better -- if at all.

[Bobby]

I'm just a little surprised not to see any commentary  or writing to my knowledge up to now in  these parts of the internet( manosphere) on the looming shutdown.

To be honest, there is more confusion than rejoycing on my part.

But as an adherent of libertarian thought, less government seems to be the right direction. And,  apparently, there is very little possibility of implementing any reductions by forethought. So, let's bring this all to crisis where one hopes that the most essential functions of government prevail over the superfluous or even detrimental in this fight for funding. Of course, it is difficult to see how this all will play out. Maybe they will just keep digging a deeper hole. As you opine,

IMO things have room to get worse before it gets better -- if at all.

It makes me think of the maxim that markets can be insane longer than you can remain solvent.

[Bobby]

Well, It is on.

I think it is important to point out that this is not a complete shutdown. Maybe it will be minimal the work that is needed to keep things going; little debate necessary. Markets will probably calm down soon enough and eventually see these events as positive.

I reiterate that I fail to see significant adverse effect personally as likely, and, on balance, considerable positive effect as the likely outcome.

Ummmmm....."supplanting" maybe? Confiscating? Embezzling? Jacking? Skimming? Profiteering?

Despite the effort of the main scream media to paint this as such a dire crisis, the market needed no time to calm itself.
