Discussion about „the Left has failed men“ (youtu.be)

I watched a video today talking about common talking points concerning how „the left has failed men“

I would argue F.D argues that while this is often cited as a critique on how „the Left“ is losing young men to right grifters like Tate, Peterson, etc.

He eventually argues that these misogynistic forces are not new and have only been thriving because of economic problems (capitalism yaaay) faced in the present.

As I really like this community I thought I give it a shot to post something. If I should try to give a broader summary of the video please feel free to tell me.

Thanks for reading :)

Kudos to you for contributing! No, I've never felt out of place in leftist spaces, but I know many young men are alienated by what they see of "loud" leftist ideology, lack of support online etc....

As for "aspects" I believe ideologically the left has the best answers for men. I think it's more the logistical aspects I described in previous posts we don't cover well/enough.

the right is pulling boys and young men because they’re the only ones that acknowledge that these boys are not thriving in modern society.

So how does the left has the answers for men despite not even asking the questions?

but I know many young men are alienated by what they see of “loud” leftist ideology, lack of support online etc…

Or maybe of what they see, by how right wing is portraying the leftist ideology? Lack of support online, what do you even mean?

This community is first and foremost a feminist community for men and masc people, but it is also a place to talk about men’s issues with a particular focus on intersectionality.

Rules

Everybody is welcome, but this is primarily a space for men and masc people

Non-masculine perspectives are incredibly important in making sure that the lived experiences of others are present in discussions on masculinity, but please remember that this is a space to discuss issues pertaining to men and masc individuals. Be kind, open-minded, and take care that you aren't talking over men expressing their own lived experiences.


Be productive

  • Discuss concepts rather than semantics
  • No low effort comments
  • No personal attacks


Assume good faith

No bigotry

Slurs, hate speech, and negative stereotyping towards marginalized groups will not be tolerated.


No brigading

Do not participate if you have been linked to this discussion from elsewhere. Similarly, links to elsewhere on the threadiverse must promote constructive discussion of men’s issues.
