    Like this isn’t by design?? Young men are swinging so hard because they are most eagerly vulnerable to manipulation. It isn’t happening by accident, a quirk of circumstances or unintentional neglect.

      I don’t think young men are genetically predisposed to this. They are the product of the society in which they grow up. They’re seeking help because no one else is there to help.

        You don’t think young men are genetically predisposed to seeking violent solutions and promoting violent rhetoric, more so than young women are? Because I think they very obviously are. I don’t think that’s remotely disputable. And I think that’s being intentionally exploited.

        There are LOTS of people “there to help”. But you don’t find them on 4chan, X, or Truth.social.
