A lot of young women have issues with the Democrats. Most Democratic voters have major issues with the Democrats. They kinda suck, especially as champions of marginalized groups. We still need to fight tooth and nail for everything because the party doesn’t want to piss off the wealthy.

If anything, we can bond over our shared frustration with the Democrats 🤝

i live in a city that overwhelmingly votes democrat. i’ve never heard anyone say anything close to “men are all assholes, even worse than bears” IRL. maybe people are saying these things behind my back and i just don’t know. more likely, this is an internet thing where somebody said it, it got amplified, and now people mistake that for reality.

it’s hard to say the internet’s not real anymore, but it’s easy to say that it’s a simulacra. step away from the online rage machine, talk to your neighbors.

That post wasn’t US-specific. And there is not that much ‘men are assholes’ rhetoric as there’s a screaming about that from the right, internationally, intentionally. This issue though is overblown to recruit folks under their banner.

I suppose you write in a good faith, although a german person defaulting to the US party system (Democrats with a big D) sounds a bit off.

Everyone is fucked right now by the government and\or the capital, whatever country you choose, in a small or a big way, and feel like they deserve a better deal. Complex answers are hard to internalize and they lead for you to see that your enemy is a big corpo of the government and you alone can’t do anything about it. Unless you have a circle of people that thinks the same, that makes you either a lone Rambo or a suicide hotline client. And male loneliness is a proved pandemic, so you’d probably not have these.

Where biggots win big is reducing that to a simple misdirected pointer at who is to blame, like, your problem is immigrants, your problem is blacks or jews, your problem is people like you and you can actually bash them until their skull caves in. You can misgender transpeople and push them into hating themselves more. You can dehumanize people with special needs and they can’t fight back. You can reduce women to pets and beat them up when they misbehave. And feel like a winner, feel like you earn yourself the right treatment by pushing off these parasites, these pests from the ladder you are climbing. They are your competitors, they are given privileges instead of you, your hatred is just, and if it takes strangling a disabled black woman who eats you taxes it’s a moral and right thing to do.

That’s it. Those who actually cause problems make you target your comrades, and make it look so simple you can help your cause by spitting in a hamburger that arab person orders at your joint. They put illusion of small power in your hands, and you cum hard at the mere prospect of it making you and the world better.

That mirage of a distant oasis is what keeps the right going on, and it’s very easy to get into believing it’s real. And it doesn’t help that an imaginary better world of thr past patriarchy is where they feel they could’ve got better chances in. And by selling, successfully, that dream of the world where they could’ve been carried into a comfortable living by just having a dick, the regressive right wins over young men times and times again, and there’s still no big movement to counter that like feminism fought to organize for women, for many reasons, but mostly because we learnt the toxic masculinity from the childhood and we can’t show we are weak and we need that. We just need to become chads, and if we aren’t naturally given such a status like a fuckable fit body, we may take it at someone’s expense by drugs and rape.

That is the mental prison many get pipelined in without any easy way to escape.
