I wrote this on young men, and why we need to stop lying about why they're easy prey for reptiles like Andrew Tate.

It makes sense Tate would fish in the pond of young men who have gambled and lost everything. It's an ugly grift!
There are large sports betting software companies operating in Ireland, they won't be criticised by FG or FF.
Money for nothing and your chicks for free
Now that ain't working, that's the way you do it🎶
Lyrics as a lifestyle!
Every single piece of media unquestioningly shows rich men, young & old, ugly & attractive surrounded by beautiful, young women
Money gets you sex is the message - it needs to break
The youth centre offered apprenticeship help, maths and English GCSE help as well as boxing and normal social stuff for both sexes. Where do they go now?
Excellent piece. You’ve nailed it.
On that note, I did read it, and he still misses the part of the picture. Women have more mobility physically and financially. That is driving a certain segment of men nuts.
It feels like it ties in with the theory that boys are forming anti-education friend groups at school to mask for their fear of failure. Ending up in a self fulfilled prophecy.
The amount of existential supply everyone gets out of their identity politics bashing is the real source of all the suffering we're all going through.
Invest in making the world a better place, be kind to yourself and each other.
This marketing by body shaming is something that women have dealt with for generations.
This bit: “but

We got him out of that fraudulent contract, and had a lot of life lessons besides.
We can’t keep teaching young men that the strength of others is emasculating. That premise is one of the root problems. That’s inherent to the messaging of all these varied groups of ‘Bros’.

In so many ways we see males adopting the feminine as worrying & it’s because we’ve not really accepted how prevalent
Look at animal nomenclature “bitch”, “cow”, “vixen” & “mare”, the feminine is a pejorative, the masculine is a positive.
When a man is overtly feminine & gay he is lampooned, masculine gay men less so.
Adopting the feminine is like removing a perfectly good limb. It’s deviant.
If we focus on that a huge amount of the issues of homophobia transphobia and racism he rise of male far right incels will be addressed.
go figure.
He’s a personally weak man with power over others
The denial of it is ridiculous too, "men" is basically a pejorative term in such circles.
Basically look around any left discourse where men are the topic. The negativity is extreme, normal behavior is vilified. It's one thing to have feminist, queer, etc spaces, but the hostility is very real.
It really doesn't help to label people as scum etc, etc!
Too many do it like a hobby and in-group marker.
Engage with and embrace that reality and you'll understand where the disaffection becomes directed anger. "Men are the worst!" echo chambering exists.
