I watched a video today talking about common talking points concerning how „the left has failed men“

I would argue F.D argues that while this is often cited as a critique on how „the Left“ is losing young men to right grifters like Tate, Peterson, etc.

He eventually argues that these misogynistic forces are not new and have only been thriving because of economic problems (capitalism yaaay) faced in the present.

As I really like this community I thought I give it a shot to post something. If I should try to give a broader summary of the video please feel free to tell me.

Thanks for reading :)

    The problem with modern right-wing and manosphere grifters is the internet, social media and algorithms giving them platform and reach - that they would never have gotten otherwise. Think Tate without internet. But with internet all you need is be entertaining and understand the algorithms - and you will get the reach to sell you ideas or junk.
