While many believe young people are becoming more liberal, data shows that 12th grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative compared to liberal. Around 25% of high school seniors identify as conservative while only 13% identify as liberal. In contrast, the share of 12th grade girls identifying as liberal has risen to 30%. Many factors may contribute to this trend, including the rhetoric of Donald Trump which appealed to disaffected young men, and the focus of progressive movements on issues of gender and racial equality which some young men perceive as a “matriarchy.” However, most high school seniors claim no political identity, and many boys in high school do not actively discuss
Makes sense to me. Treat whole groups of people as your enemy and find out that people don’t like you very much.

Wikipedia has a complete page on Manosphere, but it’s people on social media promoting toxic masculinity, like Andrew Tate or Steven Chowder. Roited out fuckheads giving young boys wrong, but easy answers about why it’s not their fault they can’t get a date.

I actually liked the old 4chan days when it was understood that everything you saw there was some level of retarded and that if you believe stuff you saw on there, then you’re stupid.
Old 4chan was great because their version of rule 1 and 2 ment that everyone understood that what happened there didn’t apply to irl shit. It’s where you went to be the weirdo you couldn’t be during the day.
After the news cycle started saying that real nazis were on 4chan, the real nazis started showing up.
The media was the cancer that killed /b/ all along
