If you want an honest answer, it's that young boys are feeling left behind, and in many ways they are right. This is a longer video (~30min) but it seems in line with much of what I've been seeing, that the boys are not alright.

Essentially, as any system begins to give equality to all, it will appear as a loss for those who used to solely benefit from it. That said this is still something to take seriously.

The gender gap is reversed in several areas: in education girls do better than boys. There are more women in university than men. Real wealth of women has been rising while in many demographics (especially poor young men of color) wealth has been decreasing. This is not a 0 sum game, so these are real concerns. 75% of suicides are men, and in their notes it is common to see words like "useless" "unwanted" and "worthless". They feel that the world is leaving them behind.

This trend is not happening to those in the elite class- that is still very much male dominated, however for many poor men without college degrees, their lives are no longer looking like what they were raised to expect. That same demographic is who you are more likely to see at a trump rally.

This is fertile ground for people like Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate to bring these young men into their world view that women are taking away their futures.

This is where I would say men who are in places of being role models (teachers, mentors, fathers, coaches, pastors, etc...) need to come in and show that there is a new reality for men and that it's not only okay, it's better. Being a stay at home dad can be freeing as you may be able to pursue other interests. Showing what leadership is is important, but also showing how to work as a team and under the leadership of a woman is important too and can be fulfilling.

I'm an educator, and one thing I think about is that I want to teach the girls that men are not to be feared, and to teach the boys not to be men to be afraid of. There is a better future ahead, but only if we take action and support the next generation of boys as well as girls. Without this support, we are handing a large portion of disaffected youth to a toxic mindset that will have horrible consequences.

Oddly enough, I could see one of these boys looking at this post and thinking "the left doesn't care about me, so why would I care about them?"

cultural marxism

As someone who lost a friend to that rabbit hole, I really think we should put that far right conspiracy theory between quotation marks when named alongside things that actually exist. Communism and feminism are real (even if they are perceived as demonic by these people, they still at least exist). "Cultural marxism" doesn't even have entity, it's just bullshit entirely made up by the usual grifters

The Boomers should be mortified. Their parents were the one who sacrificed their young adulthood to eliminate the Nazis 80 years ago. They're spitting on their parents' graves by supporting Trump.

Conservatives tell you a whole list of people who are supposedly stealing from you to distract from the fact that they're currently picking your pocket.

It's either a belief things can only get worse or hate in their heart.

We’ll get the conservatives out of government soon

You'll still be stuck with Keir "I agree with my friends across the aisle but wish they'd go further" Starmer. Labor was completely hollowed out after Corbyn. It's just careerist flaks and corporate shills, with anyone who defies the leadership getting punted off the ticket.

Conservative literally means to conserve. To not change the way things are.

You wanting change means you are progressive.

I don't understand how those world views can identify and (you didn't say this, so hopefully not) vote conservative in US these days

Lmao my mans rode the political merry-go-round and came out the opposite side full on Marxist. Welcome to the club brother, we got dope ass flags and mad pamphlets.

what you just said means you are not a conservative...

a conservative would want to keep the highway system the way it is, take more money away from its maintenance bugdet if anything. a conservative would never want to dissolve large businesses. a conservative would not give a crap about what you're using as shelter, and certainly wouldn't believe that access to housing is a basic human right.

You're a lot more left than you realize. you might even be socialist. do you believe that the workers of a company should be given the profit that company enjoys, or should it all go to the shirts at the top? Do you believe that the working class should never be disarmed, and any attempt to disarm the working class should be disrupted?

You just described all the things that conservatives have worked hard to stop from happening every time they've been in power. The only political ideology that actively wants to house the homeless, build robust public transport, moves to small towns and boycotts large corporations to support small business are deep to far left.

Your motivation in thinking these changes are the right ones is not conservative, I imagine. You probably think about the future, how things could be better, not based on some traditional values or because you remember how things were vaguely "better" in the past.

Sorry to break it to you, you are progressive.

Sir or madam, you are absolutely nailing a closeted progressive affection.

Nothing about that is conservative.

You said you are a proud conservative and then proceeded to list off things that are completely antithetical to it. I am so confused. Everything you said is progressive, socialist, leftist, not at all conservative. Conservatives want things to stay as they are, to not progress, to not change. I.E. This system is working (for me) so let's keep it. Progressives say things aren't working (for everyone) so we should attempt to make it better for us all instead of a few people having everything and most people having little.

I mean this in the kindest most supportive way possible. You may want to do some introspection and comparisons with what you want to happen and what the political parties are pushing for. You may find you are anything but conservative or you may find you actually are conservative and you really don't want those things you said.

The 80s was the Reagan administration 🙄
