Just a reminder that the extreme right is using toxic masculinity as a way to recruit young men.

While we can easily blame men for being toxic, I don't think it will fix much. We need to create a narrative that speaks to men that feel lost. One that's different than all the toxic shit that's so effective on these guys right now.

There's legions of young men feeling left behind by society, and we need to make sure they don't feel that way before things get ugly.

@ainmosni "Nobody ows you anything!"
Assuming that is a valid statement, why should we owe them a narrative?
Ain't nobody got time for that shit.

@ixs In that case, let's all enjoy the next fascist chapter in our history.

Sure, that must be a bit hyperbolic, but these guys are voting for fascists, because the fascists are making time for that shit.

@ainmosni So you're saying we do owe them something?

Here's another radical idea, how about we just fucking ban fashist parties. Easier done than convincing their voters that they are wrong.

@ixs Banning the parties doesn't ban the ideas though, and in the end a society wants happy productive members of society, instead of a large group that's acting against the interest of society.

Also, I do think society owes its people, just like people owe their society.

So, why not both ban the party, and give the voters a reason to stop being angry at society?

@ainmosni Cause it starts with banning the party.

That's a pretty big signal that those ideas are not okay and not acceptable.
