This is inspired by a post in a big sub, where the comments gave me brain damage. Some heaters include

• the left is the no fun party
• the left spits on cis straight white men
• the left blames everything bad on cis heterosexual white men

Basically a billion variations of the above. I’m not sure if the premise itself is faulty but if it’s not, my theory is that the traditional things that men are conditioned to believe are markers of being a valuable member of society such as home ownership and raising a family are becoming increasingly unattainable due to massive stagnation in wage growth and the service-ification of everything. Economic insecurity imo can easily push some to adopt shitty politics especially without a good social safety net.

Plus, a severe degradation in quality of education that is widely available combined with social media brain rot has killed the cultivation of genuinely good critical thinking skills. Obviously, when the spate of online RW influencers heap the blame on wokeness/women or whatever the fuck, people basically have zero antibodies against that kind of bullshit.

Just my thoughts, but I’m interested to read something more than just “the blue haired libtard at college made me right wing”
