I started paying attention to politics in the 1980s. I never liked the republican mindset but the last couple decades have been beyond weird for me. The American rightwing has normalized cult-like thinking. Steak along with meat itself have become insanely rightwing coded. If a couple of rightwing guys go to get dinner not only do they have to choose a manly restaurant to let everybody know they aren’t gay - they have to order manly food. If Chud1 orders shrimp is that okay? Is shrimp manly enough? Does Chud2 think to himself " I’m gonna have a slab o’ meat. Why didn’t he order that like me? Why’d he order that pussy food? Is there something wrong with him?"
Even outside the chudspace a lot of westerners at least online always seem to have steak on this pedestal as this amazing food when it’s not even the best way to prepare beef which itself isn’t even the best meat.
I agree that beef isnt the best meat and while steak might be boring I also can see why a lot of people consider it a solid meal. With that said my favourite steak is not beef. Its tuna. (Coming from someone who does eat steak at solid steakhouses on occasion)
Yeah as I said steak is not bad I just don’t really understand why so many people seem to idolize it in the way they do. Maybe my tastebuds are too Chinese pilled for steak.
I never have either.

If I’m ever in a situation like this, I’m ordering a salad to let them know I’m the gayest of all of them. That’s the true way to assert dominance.
