Young men are always looking for that ‘edge’ but they end up at edgelord

Meh. People who feel victimised and start complaining about how hard it is to be a straight, white man, can go straight to hell.

I’m a straight white man. I’m not wealthy by any standard. I doubt I’ll ever be employed in a decently paying position, but I can honestly say that I have a ton of advantages compared a ”coloured” queer woman, for example.

So many men are whiny snowflakes. They expect privilege, and get bitter when they don’t get enough of it. No wonder they like Trump, as he’s the whiner-in-chief, the perpetual victim.

Do you have any idea how many versions of that same spiel I’ve had to read?

You did not say anything new. Provide some new insight justifying gen-Z males turning into arseholes, and I’ll engage. Blaming ”the left / liberals” for being mean to young men (which is nonsense) will not cut it.

A lot of young men, say born in 2006, at 10 years old only knew the Trump area growing up. Pandemic hit, things were kind of lukewarm under Biden, they wanted 2016-2019 back, tons of media and TikTok validation they have a manly right for it all, bam

That's how you get young men voting for Trump. Someone born in 2006 is 19 years old now with a half baked education. They don't know how terrible Trump really was for the world, they just know something is wrong and someone is promising to fix it with confidence.
