Young men in many areas are ridiculously hopeless with despair - its not really something that is talked about.

With uncontrolled climate change slowly destroying the world as we know it, can you blame them for being hopeless with despair?

You just revealed a lot more than I think you realize.

Climate change isn't part of the discussion.

No one is trying to blame anyone in this context.

We're talking about cultural issues that are tied in with the mental and emotional growth of people.

So very much hate and malicious intent is created by unstable people brought up to sincerely believe that what they do and believe is right. Often this is due to some religious indoctrination, though other reasons exist. Few are those who are truly evil at their core. In another group we have the confused and the uncertain trying to just exist in a world that is often cruel and unfair. As they grow and in moments of extreme vulnerability they reach out for answers.

As an online community one of the healthiest activities we can do is talk about these things. Express that shit is hard and offer encouragement and positive, safe places away from conmen and manipulators, as much as we are able. To do that we need to focus where we can.
