Great comment.
A few things though, some folks enjoy the cold, and cold immersion, and that's fine. There are some studies that in some people there can be some benefits. Great.
Also, strength can be very ... Empowering. And some folks have legitimate lifestyles where being strong is a major benefit. Great. Seeking to be strong does not make one "cro magnon" in motivation.
But things like strength/fitness are made in the gym, and in the kitchen. Not in some odd biohack.
Ultimately, the user's habits don't seem like they're hurting anyone (unless there is context not shared in the quote.) And if so, good for them. Whatever placebo makes them feel confident/happy, good for them. There's people out there rubbing crystals and imbibing in essential oils lol. Issues only arise if they hurt or discredit others, which, the quote suggests, this user somewhat does. (Shaming those who masturbate).
Resiliency is incredibly valuable, and being in and working through tough situations is the greatest teacher for it. E.g. "I've dealt with worse, this is nothing."
But there are definitely healthy and unhealthy ways to gain resiliency. Those tough situations should be a net positive experience, and a something gradually worked up to in a way that doesn't cause physical/mental harm to one's self -- always in pursuit of something worthwhile.
Fucked up shit pushed by insecure weirdos on the internet is none of those things.
I think we are aligned?
You are ignoring the OP article which makes it very clear that this movement definitely hurts someone, since it is ideologically linked to the far right, and is a huge right wing pipeline, literally being the cause of hatred and bigotry (at best).
Read literally a few sentences later. And use some critical thinking.
The HABITS don't hurt anyone.
The BEHAVIOR/SOCIAL CONTEXT is.
If the dude doesn't want to jack off, so be it. No problem. If the dude shames others , that's an issue.
