We didn't start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing it.

Well, I think Donald Trump is president of the United States because of struggling young men.

And that is, to the far right's credit, they saw the problem first.

The issue is they see that the remedy is to take women and non-whites back to the 50s, which is not helpful.

But look at Donald Trump.

He flew right into the manosphere.

Crypto, rockets, World Wrestling Federation being somewhat coarse and cruel, if you will, which unfortunately people conflate, or some men conflate with masculinity.

Whereas on the left, I went to the Democratic National Committee or convention.

It was a parade of special interest groups articulating the very real issues they still face, but not one mention of the group that's fallen furthest fastest, and that is

young men.

And so I don't think either group is quite frankly helping or addressing the issue.

The far right conflates masculinity with coarseness and cruelty and the far left, basically their answer for young men is just acting more like, you should act more like a woman, which I don't think is the answer either.

Well, I think there's a natural gag reflex because unfortunately, well, one, if you look at America from 1945 to 2000, we registered a third of the world's economic growth with 5% of the population.

So we had six times the prosperity of the rest of the world.

And then within that six acts of prosperity,

About a third of the population that was white, heterosexual, and male registered the majority of the spoils.

So you could argue that being born as I was in the 60s in California, a white, heterosexual male, that I had 15 to 20 times the prosperity that I had earned.

And so I think there is a natural response that, okay, you've had a 3,000-year head start.

If young men now are having a little bit of a difficult time, maybe that's okay.

It's payback time.
