    I’m really getting tired of this narrative that everything the alt-right is doing is the left’s fault. “The left” didn’t abandon anyone, you just don’t bother listening

      Where I live young men from rural areas stay there to keep family business/farms going while women run away to big cities to get education and good jobs. This is everything that those that wanted to empower women wanted but in the meantime it looks like it’s more women getting higher education and easy corporate jobs. If you’re going to pretend that’s not happening or say it’s some kind of payback you’re going to let fascists win, because they’re much better at exploiting this kind of grievances.

        Not only its left fault, its women fault too! Nice, but you gotta push a little harder - there’s potential to blame it on the colored people and transgenders too

    I’m not convinced young men were ignored, they just weren’t put in the spotlight and given everything they wanted for once. Instead other people got the spot light, and so now those young men hate those people because they have the mental maturity of a 10 year old.

    This isn’t about ignoring young men, it is about exploiting them. This is a seriously dumb take that is akin to victim blaming.

    The “left” not exploiting young men enough!? We need to charge them a monthly fee so they can learn how to treat women properly and the importance of consent. Only then can we turn the tide of Tatism amiriiight.
