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

[smelly cat]

A YouTube video from 8 years ago.

It's a non-stop assault. Somebody help them.

How can they be expected not to turn conservative after being told that "black lives matter" isn't the opposite of "all lives matter"?

Or that cops weren't born with blue skin, so "blue lives matter" isn't a thing?

I find this funny.

Conservative parties are not asking why men are heading in that direction. They've read the room and they understand . They capitalized and they've welcomed them.

It's the Left that are scratching their heads. And their attitude is like yours. You can play it down, but the audacity of mainstream media to take a pot shot like that was sexist (and racist for that matter). That video is emblematic of pervading attitudes towards young men- that there is something wrong with them and they need to change. It's gaslighting to say to young men that it is all in the heads.

If you genuinely want the discourse to move forward, and want to understand why young males are turning conservative...just listen to them. Otherwise, it is going to take a very long time to reverse the trend.

I'm listening. Tell my why a Tweet from a footy club is turning young men right wing?

I couldn't comment on that. I haven't been following it and I'm not on Twitter.

If that triggers you imagine how trans people feel having to listen to people question their actual existence almost every day of the week.

I think it is universally accepted that trans people exist.

I think I'd mostly agree with you, expect for the "blue hair".
Can you explain how you see the common link?

Yeah haven't seen the blue rinse set for a while, def a minority.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Do you think the Smelly Cat guy is identifying minority groups for political purposes?

Dunno are you?

Lol I'm just on the couch watching the cricket. It's nice to have a break.
Merry Christmas to all.

A little off topic but, ghosty Ghost Patrol has assumed you're a guy. Not really important, and you don't have to reveal but are you a guy or a cat, or some other gender / biological something?

Again, you don't have to reveal.

There's a reason for an increase in rightwing 'positions'. But it's nothing to do with being a conservative.

It is the weaponisation of social media tricking mostly straight, white, males into believing they are under attack from 'the left'.

Which would likely be minuscule in number.

Which would likely be minuscule in number.

Are you saying the number of right wing young men is miniscule or the role of social media in the radicalisation of young men is miniscule?
