Dumb fools who have no one decent to look up to end up blaming women for it, so move right. Women don’t want anything to do with dumb fools who want to take away their rights, so move left.
The population will collapse.
Being in this demographic, I don’t get this. How is right wing even an option, how do you tell yourself you’re okay with all the bullshit they’re pushing. I get if you were already right-wing, chances are you’ll stay like this, but how do you even go from ‘everyone should have rights’ to ‘maybe we should cripple ourselves, the rich deserves more’.
Shit’s wild
I spent over a decade thinking “God this sucks, but at least things will get better once the boomers die off.” The worst political blow of my life was realizing that the younger generation also lacked critical thinking skills.
Millennials are apparently the first generation to move “left” as they grow older, instead of right.
There are changes. Some positive.
Presumably meaning the percentage. Not all GenX went right, but I will admit I’ve been disappointed in seeing how many around my age did lose any semblance of critical thinking. And some of them very early, so it may not be age at all that’s a factor, but something else that affects people. Maybe millennials have managed to avoid whatever that is.
You’re making the assumption that these kids had a proper education that taught them critical thinking skills and how to spot propaganda.
I’m curious what would be the bar for proper education. Yesterday I was lectured by my fucking dentist (8years of college) on how poor people are all abusing the system and should lose all social protections. And he’s absolutely not an isolated case. Most of the engineers I manage are exhibiting similar thoughts about the jobless or immigrants. Again, at least 5 years of college. This shit is a poison. This is being relayed more and more by persons from 26 to 40 and I guess above all around. It feels like a national sport ; always shit on the one perceived below.
Did you change dentists
Just because you do a lot of it doesn’t mean it was a proper education. In the US education is all about making you ready to be useful to “The Economy”, not to train you to be more intelligent.
Belgium here but I guess it’s fair enough.
Yeah, even if someone participates in what would be considered proper education, it doesn’t guarantee they learn from it. No one is safe from propaganda, and we’re living in the worst propaganda era so far. Who do you even believe nowadays if you are incapable of thinking for yourself? And if you can think for yourself, how much can you trust yourself to not fall for fake or misleading information?
Yeah sure but then it’s not so much about « getting a proper education » anymore. Or the education system is failing us which is even worse because then what’s the way out? How can I / we steer this situation so that people suck less? Man I’m terrified my kids will end up like that.
MANY people are just dumb. They will react and fear the way their favorite newsperson wants.
I remember growing up in the 90’s being told by friends, family members and teachers that I don’t need or deserve help because everything is easier for a man, or being told by my boss that she won’t promote men because she doesn’t trust men with money, or women being mean to me because of my gender and then telling me it’s payback for things they read men did to women decades ago. And then when I try to talk about these experiences, people telling me they don’t believe me, or they didn’t happen, or they don’t matter.
And I remember, as a kid, saying “one day there’s gonna be a whole generation of boys who grew up around women like you, and they’re going to want payback”.
Well here we are. Keep blaming internet propaganda.
I grew up in the 90s and don’t know a single other man who had your experience.
I’m 33, but man, am I glad I found forums with open minded people…to be a hateful bigot in today’s age…just doesn’t make sense to me.
In any age, it didn’t make sense. We are strong, united. The elite seek to divide us because it makes us weaker and easier to control. Nobody is born a bigot.
Alone we are weak, like a single twig. But together…
billionaires have bought up many of the popular entertainers of the internet age, or the platforms they’re hosted on. the propaganda pipeline is worse than it’s ever been, and people who aren’t in its crosshairs have no idea how bad it’s become.
I have been trying to understand what makes people lean so much into the right wing but, I don’t really get it.
For example the hot topic of immigrants, the right wing is blaming it all on them. However, not every problem is because of immigrants and neither will these problems suddenly be solved when the people are out of said country.
The entire thing against LGBTQ and/ or people of color does not make sense either. Pushing minority groups away just brings more hatred and will lead to violence. Eventually it will even lead to their own misery once they do not fit their “ideal person”.
Same thing regards other religion than their own, it’ll lead to more hatred, violence and eventually their own misery once they do not fit their ideal kind of religion person.
Not only that but history has shown what political far-right does and from what I have read, it is nothing really good. I mean just look to 1930-1945 Germany and Italy with Mussolini.
It weaponizes self-esteem. Gives you someone to feel better than.
The simple answer is people want simple answers. Propaganda, especially that of the right gives them. Sure the answers are wrong, but they are easy to digest in the moment.
Wise dudes should always zig when the bandwagon of bros zags. Increases your chances.
Thanks I hate this

I think a lot of men are struggling to support the liberal side because the party has pretty much made it not ok to be a white man. The liberal party blames everything on the white man, there were really awful diversity initiatives that probably pissed a lot of men off due to the fact that they would get overlooked for scholarships, internships, jobs, etc.
Yeah that’s bs. I remember feeling like this many years ago but eventually realized it was NOT liberals making it not ok to be a white man, but the conservative picture of liberals. This is all from people in the wrong echo chamber internalizing the propaganda from the other side
Who is getting overlooked? Where?
The right is telling white men that they’re special and “others” are taking their jobs and opportunities. Tale as old as time from conservative politicians.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
The right is telling white men that they’re special and “others” are taking their jobs and opportunities.
I think that’s sort of the point. If “everything is the fault of X white men” is something that’s just simply demoralizing. I mean, imagine being constantly blamed for the world’s ills. To the hear that they’re special makes them feel like they’re finally recognized and valued, as much as that feeling may betray them. So essentially, all this talk about them being the cause of everything has made them ripe for the picking by propaganda.
No individual is being blamed for anything… well, maybe a handful are…
I mean I disagree with you calling it propaganda but yes that’s my point. Why would they stay with a party that demoralizes them.
No the right is not telling them they are special they just aren’t vilifying them like the left is.
It’s some of column A, some of column B. Although most of the ‘democrats blame white people for everythin’ actually is messaging from the right wing media. Nonetheless, the reason it works is that there’s kernel of truth that the left needs to understand better. Things like ‘there’s no such thing as racism against whites’ and ‘white guys are born on 3rd’ need to be seen as divisive and counter productive.
I agree with your statements. I’m sure that is an extreme take of blame everything from center left individuals but the far left certainly do and I’m sure the far right take it we blame everything
No the right is not telling them they are special they just aren’t vilifying them like the left is.
Nazi-Germany which was and is a far-right party definitely claimed they are special. Remember the whole thing about “Aryan” race and how the others are inferior while the Aryan suppose to be superior.
Likud party from Israel which is far-right are claiming they are the superior too and that others suppose to be inferior.
AFD from Germany which leans to Nazism also claim they are the superior.
White supremacy which usually is within the far-right parties very often (if not always) lean to being “superior” over the others.
Even a quick google search would immediately show this. So where are you getting your information from or is it just your opinion?
The right is not claiming white supremacy. They are tired of being told they are inherently racist. They are tired of getting passed up on qualifications for being white vs a different race. They are tired of literally talking about race and possibly having to pay reparations for things they have not done. It’s all right there…
No evidence of your claims and thus it is your opinion and your account is 2 days old. Got it. I’ll leave the discussion.
No evidence of your claims and thus it is your opinion
Nerd time, but:
That’s not how it works. Opinions are subjective by definition. An assertion without evidence is not an opinion.
The burden of proof is in the accuser not the accused. I don’t have to provide evidence for something as asinine as saying the right is racist and full of white supremacy.
You also conveniently ignored the evidence I provided and still somehow managed to get say it was an opinion still. Your article clip just proves it was happening?
Ok man I hope you get out of your echo chamber.
California is doing reparations. So tax dollars are being used to pay reparations how is that no evidence?
DEI hires happened and there was a number that companies needed to hit and other people lost out for the simple reason of race.
Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard happened so…it’s not “not happening”
I don’t care how old my account is I’m going to bring another side to the story now since you all have just heard one side for so long here.
https://calmatters.org/politics/capitol/2024/09/california-reparations-slavery-apology/
Reparations… A state that never had slaves is paying with taxes from people who never owned slaves…like it’s happening I don’t understand how you say that.
My people were slaves, where are my reparations?
Oh man, I’m exhausted of your comments.
You mentioned;
No the right is not telling them they are special they just aren’t vilifying them like the left is.

None of what you just wrote gives any evidence to your previous claims.
DEI hires happened and there was a number that companies needed to hit and other people lost out for the simple reason of race.
you’re talking about DEI as if the right wing party made that happen but it’s the opposite
The full list of US universities at risk of losing state department funding over DEI support
This is from the article above;
More than three dozen universities including Harvard, Yale, Stanford and Duke have their participation in a federal research partnership on the chopping block after the state department proposed to suspend them over their diversity, equity and inclusion hiring practices.
Keep in mind the article is from November 2025 which means the right-wing party is in charge.

I don’t care how old my account is I’m going to bring another side to the story now since you all have just heard one side for so long here.
I do because usually several old days accounts are usually trolls or… like you; claiming stuff which are not (entirely) true
Like I mentioned earlier, you never gave any evidence of the claims you made before and try to change subjects (reparations, slavery and DEI). Zero mentions nor evidence about your claim of; “the far right is not racist and not white supremacy”.
So, yeah. I’m out, I’ll block you so I don’t have to see your baseless comments.
its… all in your head
California is giving reparations, the us supreme Court ruled against DEI since it WAS happening at Harvard. There’s two examples.
There are some training at work where we have to acknowledge our bias before even staring a meeting I mean it’s hilarious how you can say that.
Who’s vilifying? Is calling people out on their behavior vilifying?
It just seems like a lot of weak people just want to get treated special and the second nobody treats them special they claim to be a victim.
Lol literally any problem that exists is the white man’s fault right now. Really?
What an odd quote.
lol
