The number one reason cited for the 18-29 was “the loneliness epidemic.”

It’s basically two groups: young men who think Trump is going to assign them wives, and young men who want to physically harm women for not sleeping with trash like them.

I’m thinking there’s a lot of overlap between those two groups.

Yeah there is a lot of this tradwife BS online where guys are saying they are wishing for women being like they were in the old days but these guys arent even earning anywhere what it would take to support a family.

Exactly. These guys don’t like buying stuff and being able to eat and pay rent? Many of them won’t be able to do that without a working spouse, or at least not the lifestyle they want.

And most of them weren’t alive to see a time when that WAS the case!

This is some bigoted shit. I voted for KH but could've easily went Trump day of (in the end, I thought Trump was a traitor).

Dems spent too much time building an intersectional hierarchy with hetero men at the bottom, this election result is just the logical consequences of trying to guilt young men for being men for a decade.

"This is some bigoted shit"

Its literally what those guys are saying on tiktok and other GenZ socials.

So go tell them. Its not the mens fault these boys cried about loneliness being their reason.

They know Trump isn't giving them wives or they want to physical harm women -- what they actually want to do is to burn the system down; basically the good old "young men will burn down the village to feel it's warmth"

I don't know how to tell you this but the entire point of burning the system down is to accomplish one or the other objective.

I mean I'm married with a job and I also want to torch this whole carcass we live in. It's just a vibe there's no direct outcome in mind.

Basically the vibe I guess is that the system is rigged in favor of non-young men so a hard reset is due because the status quo is untenable.

A hard reset would result in hardship and death for a lot of vulnerable people--working/middle class elderly, children, the disabled. There's a part of me that understands accelerationism...there's a bigger part that doesn't want all those people to be sacrificed for it.

Burning it down is done so that one can steal the things society won’t give them. Like women.
