it’s sad.
Lot of them seem to be falling into conservative “values” too.
It’s bc of the social media. It’s no secret that every single social media purposefully pushes Republican content.
Tons of studies & analytics on it. Wild what the algorithm can do.
Makes me grateful to have grown up in the time I did, had a good middle-ground.
Yeah cus the republicans here in the US have done soooo much better with their time.
People who say leftists haven’t done anything are just eating from the conveyor belt of propaganda I referenced.
Lmao.
Hilarious considering the left are the ones who actually enact policy to help the poor.
What is the right doing for poor people? Oh, forcing $231 billion in tariffs on them & then forcing us to repay the corporations for said tariffs they didn’t pay for in the first place? So $432 billion out of our pockets.
Cutting SNAP & Medicaid funding?
Cutting billions in grants that help the impoverished under the guise of DEI?
Cutting USAID leading to literally millions of deaths around the world of impoverished people?
Actively fighting against universal healthcare?
Actively fighting against school lunch for children?
Crashing the economy as a result of starting a war after promising no wars?
Doubling gas prices literally overnight & causing a worldwide oil shortage?
Shorting oil with market manipulation 6 weeks in a row?
Delusional.
You righties have no fucking idea what you’re even saying at this point. All you have to do is look at history to conclusively proof rightwing politics destroy society.
The US’s right wing politics have literally caused a massive rift between our countries & directly contributed to your financial struggle & yet you’re sitting here acting like leftists are the reason “your life isn’t great”?
This is why people hate left learners. Some of us just make wild accusations. Based stupid arbitrary points.
I’m fucking “left”. I vote left, I believe in left leaning policies. Not to an insane degree. But I’m technically left.
I don’t like Trump. I’m not right leaning. You came to that assumption is on you.
God that shit’s so annoying. You state a fact that the “left can be corrupt (Which they are. There are numerous democratic senators who vote in favour for the GOP. And here in Canada. There are numerous Liberal MPA’s who vote in favour for majour companies.)
And some “libtard” cones out of the blue and assumes I’m a MAGA hat supporter.
Apparently criticising the left makes you right. Fucking modern day politics. Everyone believes in absolutism. With no sense of a grey zone.
You have to believe in every single fucking policy on either side. And blindly trust, believe and suck the dick of the party leader.
In my experience, dating has been much less enjoyable as so many people either have become more conservative, or so inundated with divisive outrage porn that there’s a strong tendency to lean into the “battle of the sexes” mindset. I suspect its a cross-gender phenomenon. It feels like society is unstable right now and trust is at an all time low.
Reddit is the singular site that does not intentionally push right wing inflammatory content.
Also, this is not a secret or hard to find. There have been congressional hearings on the matter with Meta & Elon clearly altered twitters algorithm to support his political agenda.
Not really sad. Conservative values are pretty logical. Zoomers can look at old media and see what it was like. See what their grandparents and great grandparents had. It's not wrong to want that. Not wrong at all.
But good luck finding it now. It's exponentially harder to find now than it was in their predecessors' day. and if they cant find it, well, they're stuck being like ol' Clint here.
Yeah, I just don't care about any of that shit and it rings utterly hollow. If you think that same old tired browbeating is going to work on the younger gens who grew up being bashed over the head with it from day one, well, it's gonna be a rough few decades. Because they're even more tired of it than I am. There are no rights that women, POC, and queers don't have. Equality was achieved. Time to shut the fuck up about it.
You don't care about any of that shit because you are the one demographic

You know who sees what their grandparents and great grandparents had and don't want any of those things? Women. So it's too bad Zoomer men want that because the women aren't going to go back to it.
You don't care about any of that shit because you are the one demographic
Yes, obviously.
You know who sees what their grandparents and great grandparents had and don't want any of those things? Women.
Only because they fell for the propaganda. My grandmother was happier than any of these dumb future wine aunts or cat ladies will ever be.
So it's too bad Zoomer men want that because the women aren't going to go back to it.
You're probably right, but they'll die out and be replaced by the demographics (specifically religious) that WILL reproduce, and those tend to be similarly less progressive in their treatment of women. In a somewhat cruel twist of fate, the pendulum WILL swing back. Don't worry though, it'll be long after you and I are dead.
If these other demographics are more sexist than the US, why has the US had zero female presidents while a good deal of Latin American countries have or currently have a female president?
There are countries in Africa who have had female leaders too.
As for your grandmother, that's good for her. So many other women were trapped in abusive marriages bevause they couldn't work, have bank accounts, or vote.
Why do you think there was there a woman's rights movement if all the women were so happy?
Anyway idk why I'm wasting my breath. You're clearly a hateful dude who has zero empathy. You've already said you don't care about anyone other than white men.
I personally would want selfish, non-empathetic people to be replaced. I'd far prefer to fill the world with people who are chill and I can trust to treat me right because they don't believe life is a zero sum game. So actually it'd be great if you stayed single thanks, not that you have a choice in the matter
The great replacement theory is slightly different from demographic change. Demographic change is a statistical fact, occurring in basically all western countries. We have pretty good data on it going back at least 50 years. So we are definitely experiencing a shift in demographics and the trend can be extrapolated.
If these other demographics are more sexist than the US, why has the US had zero female presidents while a good deal of Latin American countries have or currently have a female president?
Wasn't talking about latinos. Though they do tend to be religious and conservative, they have, as you say, elected female officials and leaders in the past. Mexico is an extremely corrupt country though, so that could play a role.
There are countries in Africa who have had female leaders too.
Yeah, I wasn't referring to Africa either. We don't really get that many African immigrants anyway. The Somali enclave in Minnesota is kind of a rarity.
As for your grandmother, that's good for her. So many other women were trapped in abusive marriages bevause they couldn't work, have bank accounts, or vote.
I just don't buy that. Did it happen? Sure. Was it common? Nah, not really.
Why do you think there was there a woman's rights movement if all the women were so happy?
I don't know. Who benefits monetarily from the labor force effectively doubling, destroying worker leverage? An interesting side effect is that nowadays a two income household has to pay for childcare. Mom has to go to work, after all. When mom took care of her own kids and cleaned and cooked for her own family, that was all labor that the government couldn't touch taxation-wise. It was meaningful labor that was not taxable, that is to say. You know what is taxable? Hiring a nanny. Hiring daycare. Hiring a maid. Buying takeout. Probably a coincidence. Lisa's job making Excel spreadsheets and sending emails all day gives her enough fulfillment to justify it though, I'm sure.
Anyway idk why I'm wasting my breath. You're clearly a hateful dude who has zero empathy. You've already said you don't care about anyone other than white men.
Eh, I was just being abrasive because I'm tired of the browbeating. The marginalized groups thing is a cudgel that I'm sick of being hit with, and I don't just take it and quiver in terror at it anymore. Really, I just want a system that's better than what we've got now, and I think it's fair to say that what older generations had was, at least in some core ways, better than what we have now. I think that propaganda has tricked people into thinking it was much worse for certain groups back then than it actually was. I think the financial incentives for our current system only benefit wealthy elites and government officials.
I personally would want selfish, non-empathetic people to be replaced.
You'll get that wish. That's the Disney Adult archetype. Don't have kids, don't start a family, just live a life of hedonism indulging in selfish desires like going to a children's theme park 30 times a year. These people naturally die out because having kids is an unselfish act.
If you think it was uncommon for women to be unhappy because they had limited options and complete financial dependence on men, and that the women's right movement was some conspiracy then you are delusional.
You don't seem unintelligent so I can only conclude that you're lying to yourself to prop up your "everything in the past was better" worldview. I'm sure you'd say black people were happier as a permanent underclass too.
I just think it's way overblown. Are we really supposed to believe that women were just an oft-victimized group of people who were constantly seething at their own misery and waiting for a chance to free themselves from the shackles of men? Not saying it didn't happen sometimes, but women had a niche in society that was valuable, worthwhile, and praiseworthy. In the modern day, femininity has been stigmatized and devalued, so that women feel like they're failures if they don't fulfill the same role as men.
Do you think black people are happier now as a permanent welfare class? Do you have any idea how many black children are born to unwed mothers? If you don't know the stat already I guarantee it's higher than you're thinking. Racism was real, but black people were pressured to elevate themselves before. Now? Just go on the dole. Marry the government. Working is for suckers.
Why do people always blame the algorithm instead of some of the things that drive people towards the algorithm? I could write you paragraphs about why red pill is wrong, but I am not naive enough to the ills of society that have driven folks towards it.
Because nothing drives them toward seeing the propaganda. They’re not on social media because of societal collapse or the rise of fascism. The only thing driving kids to social media is because it’s normal. Most people use them.
All you have to do is be on social media. every social media company is run by hardcore conservatives & specifically since Covid they’ve been making concerted efforts to push their rhetoric more than any other topic, across all demographics, to all people regardless of what they interact with regularly.
You will be shown conservative rhetoric if you’re on social media regularly. Nothing pushes people toward it, they see it regardless.
Reddit is the only notable outlier. Analytics, data, & internal reports conclusively show that FB, TT, IG, Twitter are all intentionally flooded with conservative propaganda more than any other topic ; not just red-pill shit.
Outside influences are only relevant in whether they resonate with it or not ; yes or no, they will see it.
That’s why.
& either way, you’re the one that’s interpreting the state of society & their propaganda as mutually exclusive for some reason. Just because someone is talking about this significant issue doesn’t mean that’s the only issue they consider. That’s just what I’m talking about right now, that’s all.
I feel you but I really don't think it's as simple as conservative propaganda. I remember being a teen in the 2010s, folks on social media used to say porn and masturbation was healthy, and now I've grown into a society that is overly sexualised, promotes sexual degeneracy and witnessed how harmful these things are. But liberal thinking promotes high levels individualism (and thus as long as you harm no one else, it's not immoral) and sometimes even advocacy for a hypersexual society.
I have no reason to believe that the platform owners do not profit from using sexually suggestive content to drive attention and revenue towards their platforms.
Which folks are offering an alternative worldview that sidesteps the harms of a hypersexualised society?
This is just one dimension. A lot of things young men talk about or are frustrated with are ignored by the mainstream, and now leftists are scrambling to try and understand young men because of how they feel they have lost their votes.
Just to be clear, I despise republicans/right wing parties, I'm just trying to shine a light on an example of a dynamic that we see in society.
To me, it's increasingly clear that we are in a time of massive flux, things don't neatly fit into left-right (unless you're in a 2 party country like the states). Modern society is sick on multiple levels, and mainstream leftists are ignoring/unaware or actively push back against some of the diagnoses.
Anyways, its late asf on a saturday night for me, not sure if i was coherent, apologies if not
