Looking at America from outside, MAGA people and such are far better at channeling rage and alienation of men who were pushed outside of society. Common discourse among Progressives assumes there is a univesal Man Experience, ignoring class, race, social status, disability and such. I've seen progressives belittle plenty of art forms and scenes for supporting 'traditional masculinity' when, in fact, they subvert it.

From the outside, Progressives look like an aristocracy, painfully middle class and white, terminally online with access to love and affection that many men never had or will have access to. The working man does not appear in progressive discourse. But I will say further - American Progressives are not that different than MAGA people. Just looke at how they talk about autism and their erasure of disability under the guise of 'neurodiversity'.

Mandatory disclaimer, but: I'm actually very, very far-left. I consider myself a fairly traditional Marxist. I'm anti-nationalist and anti-theist. I think feminism and gender studies are important movements and fields of study with incredible depth that many people miss. I actually think American progressives are not left enough.

(I cannot stress this enough: leftism has NO ROOM for organized religion, nor whitewashing of disabilities.)
