Because they are unable to live up to the expectations patriarchal society sets on us and rather than realize the society is bullshit, double down on it and decide it’s other peoples fault.
this is why i am putting off public transition. i have like 5 zoomer men under my wing that look up to me as what they see, which is an elder millennial chad guy who makes leftist thought appealing and masculine as well as push collective ethics into their heads
i was their boss at first, now just another co-worker and they respect me as that person, even if it’s just an act.
kind of sucks but i made this call because of this crisis
Having the plague for a few years during a formative time in their lives and having a ton of time to get sucked into YouTube rabbit holes that invariably start recommending conservative content had a big part to play.
Its not accidental. The money and effort spent in the last 10 years to make young men go ultra right wing is HUGE. Like billions of dollars. A lot of social media sites like youtube have entirely changed theor algorithms so ig you look at any video game content your gonna get reccomended literal nazi shit.
Yeah I’m aware it’s an intentional effort that’s easily reproducible when someone makes a fresh account and sees how quickly they start getting clips with Andrew Tate or Asmongold saying having empathy is weakness.
I literally looked up a video the other day to see if my performance issues in oblivion remaster (which i pirated cuz some awesome people cracked it like instantly) were just a linux thing, and it seems like a normal video talking about bad performance then half way thru they start throwing out anti-trans dog whistles. Putting up screen shots of trans characters in a game and being like “But this game has other issues”.
So of course i switch off the video dislike it and am like wtf. Click on another similar video and NOT ONLY is it also anti-trans but the script is WORD FOR WORD the same as the last video. Like they were both given the same script to make a video with. Now could one of them have just copied the others video? I guess. But it makes me think its like the whole sinclair broadcasting thing where all the local news anchors say the same stuff cuz they answer to the same parent company.
They lose the most status under current social changes and are therefore a vulnerable demographic for reactionary propaganda. And there’s plenty of reactionary propaganda for them to plug into and very little focused on them that runs counter to it, let alone gets promoted by social media companies. Reactionary forces are just doing good marketing, basically. It’s also not like everyone else is getting a great political education or has coherent beliefs in liberation or humanism, they just aren’t the status gaining group on which this propaganda works, they’re the groups scapegoated by reaction and when alienated will naturally oppose their bullies.
Why, men, why?
There are massive recruitment networks that make it so.

Fuck them. You should transition for yourself, not for other people. Unless its not safe to do so, then I guess you know best.

Sorry, I tried. I realized society was bullshit and I had sex, but no other men followed me.
Honestly as funny as this is, it’s not really true…I haven’t touched someone in like 6 years and I’m not a Nazi. It’s more than this.
there’s a fork in the road and it’s down to whether you think women are people or chattel.
My money is on it being a mix of the algorithm promoting right-wing shit and an ineffectual centrist liberalism being associated with the left.
