Lemmy does not understand that people are leaving X cuz of Nazis, not cuz it’s a centralized corpo platform.

Looking forward to the Matthew Miller clips from this one.

People getting put on the no-fly list cuz of racial profiling, I guess?

Yellow Mountain Imports is great.

I think the two most salient points here are:

1. Podcasts

TV and radio are dead, social media is a wasteland. Podcasts are reaching young folks, especially men.

Which brings me to…

2. Young men are in freefall

They’re doing worse than previous generations did at their age, across every metric you can imagine, and they’re also doing worse than young women.

That’s not to say we should stifle women’s success!

But if all you have to offer young men is a lecture on their unearned privilege, I think it’s not surprising that they take their business elsewhere.

Importantly: This doesn’t make them right.

But if we don’t figure this out, we’re fucked. We have to have a positive message for men who are struggling and desperate. If we don’t offer a plan, guess who will?

Yes, unfortunately, and it’s healthy to recognize that. Good on ya.

But EVs are supposed to solve everything!

Edit for the downvoters: I’m not against EVs as a replacement for ICE, but they’re not an endgame solution. We need to reduce the number of cars, period, whether they’re ICE or not.

Some are just opportunists, but there are certainly true believers — either in specific technologies, or pedal-to-the-metal growth as the only rational solution to the world’s problems.
