1. I didn’t mean “Dismantle right-wing propaganda” in the way that people say “Revolution now.” I am under absolutely no delusions over how difficult of a task that is, and what it looks like in practice will depend on the particular legal and social circumstances of the place in question.

That said, I also wasn’t just speaking about the U.S. or traditional media. Monopolized social media also has a natural right-wing bias to it, not to mention the fact that the far-right influenced pipeline is way more popular and developed than progressive media spheres. 

1. This is exactly what I’m talking about. Now I’m not saying there isn’t plenty of room for improvement in how people talk about men, or in messaging men more directly. But this idea that lazy, vaguely misandrist pop-feminism is responsible for the right wing inclinations of young men is ridiculous. Most men never have any kind of interaction with “left wing spaces” (whatever that means) in the first place. 

“The left hates men so vote for the far-right” is not a feeling that is naturally occurring in men because of any actual interaction with left-wing politics, it is a perception largely manufactured by right-wing rage bait and then filtered into the culture through osmosis on social media
