I dunno, maybe 18-21 years of being told everything wrong in the world is a guy’s fault has something to do with it. Putting all the blame on people that had no hand in the state of things doesn’t exactly enamour them to your cause…
Y’all choose the bear over random dudes this summer. These young guys saw all that happening, right in front of them in real time. Where were they supposed to turn? One side was offering them answers, even if falsely. The other side was blaming them for everything. The shift right wasn’t all because of the Trump’s and Bannon’s of the world.
An actual opportunity to talk about an issue, rather than reinforce my own beliefs. Dont mind if i do…
Dont you think this is more of an artifact of personalizing newsfeeds and those separated viewpointa clashing with other personalized newsfeeds?
Every opinion exists, and the internet allows opinions to be magnified without a basis in people’s true opinions. We need to learn how to navigate and develop our social beliefs without fixating on who’s opinion is percieved as majority or being shown the most in media… that includes overreacting to polarized opinions and validating them.
Real peoples opinions are different than the popularity of memeified opinions. When people talk to each other there is understanding. When people arm themselves with memes instead of forming their own opinions, we are parroting ideas that might be manufactored so we have no choice but to deny meme ideologies unless their merit is unavoidable.
Oh woe is me?! Cry me a river. No one is blaming young men for these things. It’s a call to action to dismantle a system of oppression on marginalized groups. Some of those marginalized groups include white people, white men, and young white men. This whole election just allowed the worst to flourish.
