None of you want to face the fact that alt-right campaigns like Gamergate and Qanon has brought a fucktonne of youth over to the cuntservative side. It's going to be a real problem now that they are old enough to vote.

Huh?

Yep, there's a reason Andrew Tate has a huge following. There's something attractive about these guys and their worldview to a giant chunk of boys.

I blame 2 generations of failed father figures, every public perception of 'manhood' contains toxic elements.

This isn't a new problem either, google China's 'bare branches' problem. We have historical records of unmarriable men forming into bands to rape and pillage since the 1200s.

And every one of them acts the same way as tate and his degenerate edgibois.

I’d argue it’s just one part of the larger “all your negative opinions are not only valid, they are correct and good!” culture that drives so much negative shit in culture & politics.
