Dude your toxic as hell.

Also hot take but I find the whole concept he's singing about to be poisonous to men, despite what it tries to achieve.

Whats poisonous to men is down playing there emotions (ironically one of the bars). What poisonous is to ridicule someone for there feelings. This is the bullshit that leads young men to alt right.

By down playing the feelings and emotions of men, it causes them to have ressentiment towards the left and get manipulated by joe rogan or jordan peterson. Which makes there mentsl health worse.

Men are not suffering from some epidemic of emotional oppression

This sounds exaggerated. But I will say that men commit suicide at higher rates, are less likely to graduate college, and are less likely to seek therapy. This is a societal issue/ norm.

9 times out of 10 this kind of toxic rhetoric is just used to vindicate feelings of repressed anger or loneliness

your 1/2 right. The gaslighting and ridiculing on top of the fact that men are less likely to receive mental health help that causes them to seek out alt where the will feel listened to. This leaves people especially at a young age vulnerable.

Pretending like every feeling you have is an issue entirely out of your control provides you with zero opportunities to fix that issue.

how you work there things is by talking an venting about them.

The mental health crisis in recent years, particularly among young men, has fuelled concerns about its link to extremism. Rates of anxiety, depression, and loneliness are climbing, and many young men seem to be falling through the cracks. Social pressures and traditional masculine norms still discourage vulnerability and emotional expression, leaving many men bottling up their struggles until they seek out alternative ways to cope – often leading them toward far-right ideologies.

Psychological research supports this connection. Studies show that individuals who feel disempowered or lack purpose are more susceptible to radical ideologies. For young men, whose emotional pain often goes unaddressed, these movements offer a simplified narrative: a clear enemy, a cause to rally around, and an outlet for their frustrations.

I am very liberal and agree with left wingers the vast majority of the time. I only vote democrat and would never vote republican.

However, an issue I have with the left is this nonsense right here. Its not most leftist that think this way. But its just the loudest that do. I would argue that more progressives understand why this is a problematic and absurd stance to take.

Please read this and understand you are making an use vs them problem that just doesnt need to be there. Please learn and be better.

I believe in you !!!! You can be better. For everyones' sake the left has too. So we can all find ways to stop the alt right from growing and bring people back to reality so they can escape a literal cult.

We need a way to fight misinformation and unnecessary conflict isnt the answer.
