You don't have to believe it, but Gen z men have been swinging right. The best explanation I've heard is that the alt right's hyperfixation on masculinity and success with shitty manfluencer culture has offered an affirmation to young men that feel rejected by the left for being men.

Obviously that's not really accurate to reality, but it's easier to feed into someone's victim complex than to get them to introspect or have empathy.

It's because they were mercilessly targeted via social media algorithms and targeted advertising. Just thinking you're a man you tube exploratorily recommends Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. It's horrifying, really

Yeah, that's fair. Big tech is also largely to blame for intentionally reinforcing toxic content as a technique for enhancing addiction. All to make a room of men more money than they could ever need or use.

Bummer
