This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

Because they're being indoctrinated by Kick streamers like I was by YouTubers in 2015. It's so disappointing to see the same shit that ruined me for years ruin them.

Because the democrats haven't made a serious appeal to them in a decade. We need to turn bell hooks into actionable political messaging.

I blame social media and algorithms. My teen son for the longest time was leaning further and further right due to the content he was getting served on YouTube. He was making disparaging comments about women and how stupid they are. My wife and I who lean left had to sit down and have a talk with him about what he was saying and videos that he was getting served by YouTube (that popular red pill girl, I can't remember her name and andrew tate among other red pill stuff). He's a pretty smart kid, once we showed him data and articles that directly proved all the things he was watching wrong, he started to come around. He's been careful to believe things that he sees or hears on the internet more now. Occasionally, he'll bring things to us that we have to double take and fact check to see if it's wrong.

Lemmy wonders... But what about the menzzzz?!?!?!

I hate my gender so fucking much. If every man in the US dropped dead on the 4th the world would be a better place.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Comments like this seem to completely miss the forest for the trees. People vote this way for a reason. I truly don't think 50+% of adults are just horrible people. They feel slighted. They feel they are getting the shit end of the stick. They believe voting this way will help them.

There has to be something done to help these people not feel this. I don't think the democratic party does a good job with catering to these people. Their message this year was "at least we're not trump". "Do anything to stop trump". That is just fear mongering from another angle. They need to come up with better marketing. They're fucking terrible at it since Obama left office. Granted, he was easier to market. He was super charismatic. He was cool. Neither Biden nor Kamala can be considered charismatic or cool.

You're taking this way too hard, man. If every man in the US dropped dead, Trump would still be president. White women voted 53% in favor of Trump. https://apnews.com/article/ap-votecast-trump-harris-election-president-voters-86225516e8424431ab1d19e57a74f198

Not every woman is white

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Correct, but white women are the vast majority of women in America, thus their votes are weighted more than other group of women. Here's a chart from 2022, showing 58.5 million white women, compared to 3.8m asian, 11m black, and 9.6 hispanic. https://www.lwv.org/blog/report-women-voters-numbers

White women voters are also likely more present in rural areas that have outsized effects on the electoral college, too, but I don't have data for this, so this is just an assumption on my part.

Fuck you, I didn't vote for the fucker eother.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 month ago (7 children)

Cool. But most men did. What's our lives compared to the fucking planet?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

People always call me hypocritical if I say "x" type of people shouldn't be allowed to "y". But I'm serious, will gladly give up "y" if I'm part of a problem.

45% of Gen Z men still voted Harris, there's tonnes of you that aren't alt-right.

Instead of dropping dead, it's time you guys started reclaiming what it means to be a "man". It's not like shitty women don't exist, but most women band together in times of need/stress. Men need to start doing that too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Band together and do what? All the like minded dudes I know are in the same boat as me. We're collectively fucked. We meme about in discord but nobody has any solutions.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Unfortunately that will never happen. I honestly don't think we are capable of thar. I lay in bed and wonder if I am just kidding myself in thinking I am liberal while deep down I am just another fascist.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Being a man doesn't automatically make you a fascist, that's misandrist talk. I am a man, voted for Harris, and I'm very disappointed in our nation, our DNC, and a good amount of the world now. Focus on making changes locally, start as local as possible (home) and then expand outwards (the neighborhood, city government, county government, etc).

It sounds kinda silly, but there's truth in that if you can't make improvements in your own bedroom like cleaning up wires or making sure there are no clothes on the ground, this will impact other areas of your life.

I'm here for you!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Again, you are dismissing 45% of your brothers. People like you, people who probably think the same negative things as you about themselves.

Unironically young men need positive solidarity from each other. You are not biologically designed to be fascist. You're lonely and self-hating by social engineering. And the more you believe that social engineering, the more the toxic men win.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

We don't have time for that.
