I can kind of see it. Equality except in the draft. Hearing that white men are the worst thing ever. Other parts seem like whining. There are plenty of job opportunities out there. You just shouldn't expect to start with a corner office, drive a Range Rover, and have a $500,000 house right away.

Bunch of gobbledygook from the author trying to explain away the perceived angst of a “subset left behind” in Western Progtopia instead of taking the harder self-reflective look in the mirror at the greater failings of Progressive Identity Socialism itself.

The only hint of “we should do better” the author offers is the acknowledgment that the Left didn’t make a more concerted effort to go into Podcast World to better explain glorious Progressivism to the “alienated uneducated Left Behinds”.

It’s always something else with these Leftist jokers other than the fundamental failings of their own Progressive religion.

My issue with the analysis is that it still, backhandedly, describes their mindset as "bro culture". What's the female equivalent of that? "bimbo culture"? Here, let’s degrade all of your concerns and ideas, demonize your masculine way of life, all the while expect you to go die in an avoidable war for us.

I think bro culture is a good thing. The establishment culture absolutely hates it because it encourages men to engage in the male culture that has been the norm for millennia and one of the tenets of modern culture is to act like these things aren’t ingrained in our dna.

And, yes, there is an opposite of bro culture. Women are told they can act like a Kardashian and it makes them some sort of girl boss. Unfortunately, that culture is not only embraced but encouraged.

I posted video evidence that indeed they were. Where’s yours?


My apologies. ONE guy who read a clearly pre-prepared question at an event with the VP candidate is very concerned.

I can get you 5 videos of "evidence" that the world is flat, videos of "evidence" that lizard people are flying on our airplanes too.

Every male in gen z had to register for the draft


So did you. So did I. And since that time there have been conflicts that alarmists immediate believed were the "start of WWIII" (setting aside the fact the last WW ended 80 years ago) only for it never to have occurred.

Is it possible there was a relatively small group of the generation who was gravely concerned about being drafted...even though the draft hasn't been instituted in over 50 years, nor have we ever come remotely close to doing it? Sure. I can find you a small group of any generation who believes anything. But if you want to know why Gen Z men turned to Trump it was simply a matter of the culture war telling them it was no longer ok to be a man.

Interesting angle. You think that kid was a paid actor or something?

That goes without saying. Obviously it needs to be fostered. I was just pointing out the label the left gave it in an attempt to demean it. Drawing contrast to the fact that anyone calling femininity “bimbo culture” would be blasted.

I think the green and blue haired Mellinial teachers who tried to cram their Lefty bullsh!t down the throats of their students should get a lot of credit

They forgot the one truth that never changes, what you think is "cool" will not be "cool" to your children, and if you try to force it down their throats they'll reject it much harder than you tried to push

Probably tired of being told they are evil all the time for being masculine. Can’t do anything even working out without it being called toxic masculinity. Alienating half the population.


This and that Trump is an alpha. He says what he wants, how he wants. He takes a bullet and stands up pumping his fist. He faced the full force of the DOJ and stared them down the whole way.

Trump is his own man. This appeals to young men. If Trump had changed his personality and acted like a typical politician as many wanted, he likely would not have seen the same support. The system is against young men today, and they want a strong role model that fights the system, not compromises for it.
