The kids are alright.
Young women are alright, right wing support amongst <35 y.o. men is surprisingly high...
Agreed. I'm a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they're not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists...
If they're like my nephew, the "manosphere" gives them easy answers as to why everything seems to suck.
It's also the only answer. Society has really neglected boys for a long time now.
Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn't have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.
You can fault the Right for a lot of things but they got there first on this one. They have a story for why things suck and they’re pounding the drum on it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter that this story is full of holes when the alternative is not compelling.
Yup. The propaganda machine moved quick when they realized this population could be manipulated into action outside of message boards.

I have great hope that they'll be better than our generation, just as we were better than our parents. Fuck the 'fuck the kids' mentality.
I'm a classroom teacher, and I find that you've gotta sometimes have both "fuck them kids" and "for the kids" in different measures. But overall, I feel like they're doing a lot of cool things.

Yall mfs gonna cost Universalmonk his Lada.
Gonna say, that assclown missed an article
Shouldn't be hard to convince anyone not to vote for her who doesn't hate minorities.
Just let him know that David Duke endorsed Jill Stein.
If that isn't a literal mic drop on her campaign idk what more can be done. Just make sure everyone knows before they approach a voting booth.

Good. Scammers need to be called out and avoided at all costs.
A vote for Stein is a vote for Trumph
