Society/Culture Why are young males now more right wing then older males?

Not really surprising, it's been years in the making with the manosphere stuff, young kids watch Andrew Tate, Adin Ross and Asmondgold. They are basically Fox News pundits for kids

Nothing to do with high rates of divorce where many boys no longer have a meaningful relationship with their father?

Nothing to do with the decline of male teachers who were also often role models?

Nothing to do with classes in English for example teaching themes that are of no interest or worse at odds with the interests and views of boys?

Nothing to do with female teachers not understanding that boys naturally develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and have different interests, goals and objectives and behave differently to girls?

Nothing to do with boys high school academic performance significantly lower than that of girls?

Nothing to do with boys far less likely to gain a tertiary place and then to finish?

The challenges for boys were identified years ago. The outcomes were also predicted years ago. Blaming it on toxic social media influencers is just a simple way of deflecting from the more confronting and challenging causes.

End of the day its neoliberalism capitalism.

End of the day we need to get rid of neoliberalism which makes every single one of us just a vessal for corporate interests.

I am 31 years old and 10 years ago I went though my "manosphere" stage, end of the day we need to change the systems.

Cooldude, stefcep, let's cool things down a bit.

Perhaps less mention of the other's children mightn't go astray.

Weird, that was a problem? The state of things. Point still stands, if people's children aren't Gen Z or Gen Alpha then they don't understand how kids work nowadays. They grew up with COVID, 3 years of crucial schooling years wiped from their lives, and lived solely on the internet in those years. Getting radicalised by right wing talking heads on the internet during COVID years is a very real thing for Gen Z

All the "our school failed our kids" or "animal farm didn't provide useful themes for ma keedz" is just out of touch boomerisms, I assure you the kids aren't even reading the books and are just using ChatGPT to write their book reviews

The overton window is moving to the right, this is driven by the media.

Young males are likely more susceptible to this type of manipulation as their brains are less developed than similar aged females.
