How do you do fellow young adults.

Gonna say, that assclown missed an article
Isn’t this just effectively giving her more attention? I’m not convinced that this helps.
I’m not convinced that saying “I’m not convinced that this helps” helps.
I know you think you’re really clever and that’s great. Howard Stern became popular because people started protesting him. Sometimes you should just ignore things and they go away.
The kids are alright.

Young women are alright, right wing support amongst <35 y.o. men is surprisingly high…
Agreed. I’m a teacher and see it in my classrooms. I often feel that they’re not taught how to have healthy community, so they become lil fascists…
They know this shit isn’t working, so they’re siding with the ones who give them someone to blame… It’s that simple…
If they’re like my nephew, the “manosphere” gives them easy answers as to why everything seems to suck.
Tell your nephew that Trump just said he’ll ban video games if he wins.
Yup. And it’s always women and brown folks.
Don’t forget LGBTQ and furries. 🙄
The amount of times I’ve had to address the “students using litter boxes” schtick is absolutely mind boggling.
It’s always a school two towns over, and it’s always someone who has no attachment to the school attempting to push it.
It’s also the only answer. Society has really neglected boys for a long time now.
It doesn’t help that every time we point out how society failed boys, there’s always someone who says it’s misogynistic to show men any concern…
Being a guy is no cake walk, and if anyone can say that with a straight face it’s me.
lights up a cigarette They say women like a bad boy, well, I was so bad at being a boy I became a girl.
Yup. Patriarchy did them dirty. Society told them they had to be strong, stoic, and without emotion. And when that butted up against the realities of being a human we didn’t have any community to lead them towards living a good and healthy life.
You can fault the Right for a lot of things but they got there first on this one. They have a story for why things suck and they’re pounding the drum on it relentlessly. It doesn’t matter that this story is full of holes when the alternative is not compelling.
Yup. The propaganda machine moved quick when they realized this population could be manipulated into action outside of message boards.
Calling it “patriarchy” is thinly-veiled victim blaming, implying that men suffer primarily because of other men’s decisions. Everything you describe is perpetuated and maintained by both sexes. The social fabric of modern society, its implicit rules and conventions, is not a male establishment.
Western society is not, at all, a “patriarchy”.
Patriarchy did em dirty, but feminism also left them behind. It’s not just patriarchal society that forces men to be strong and stoic, it’s also self-professed feminists, especially women. Feminists say men should be more in touch with their emotions, but when they do so women have no interest in them. That’s one of the realities of life you mentioned.
when they do so women have no interest in them.
Personally, I find my experience to be much the opposite. But, I’m also in my late thirties so, experiences may differ.
You need to hang out with better women, my man.
Every single woman I know wants a guy in touch with their emotions. And those who found them, married them.
Tell your friends to stop trying to date under 25 year olds. We get over that shit at about this age.
That’s still patriarchy, my guy. They’ve been raised to be complicit in a system that doesn’t benefit them, and they’re perpetuating it because they don’t like how it feels to step outside of it.
right wing support amongst <35 y.o. men is surprisingly high…
The media is flush with fascist attitudes in a country where going on the computer and listening to fascist rants is all you’re allowed to do with your time.
all you’re allowed to do with your time.
If you stopped listening to fascist folks you could step outside and see that you have a lot more options.
Sorry you’re in this rut!
“in a country where […] all you’re allowed to do with your time.”
Eh… The same phenomenon is observed all over first world countries and all of those countries you’re allowed to do mostly whatever the fuck you want with your free time…
you’re allowed to do mostly whatever the fuck you want with your free time…
You’re free to do what you want and the police are free to rough you up for loitering.
I have great hope that they’ll be better than our generation, just as we were better than our parents. Fuck the ‘fuck the kids’ mentality.
I’m a classroom teacher, and I find that you’ve gotta sometimes have both “fuck them kids” and “for the kids” in different measures. But overall, I feel like they’re doing a lot of cool things.
That’s a good point. I think that one of the myths that needs to die is that if the cherubic, sweet, innocent, and pure child. Many children, without guidance, are sociopathic assholes. We’re not born “good” then corrupted by the world, we’re born with some personality traits that may or may not help us as social creatures and need help to learn how to handle our emotions and cooperate with others in a manner that is pro-social.
Yup. Like John Green, I’m generally in favor of humans, but we’ve got some perfectly natural tendencies that can really harm others if left unchecked. I think kids want to do good, but they need to be taught how to, given the space to practice, and corrected with grace when they fuck it up.

Shouldn’t be hard to convince anyone not to vote for her who doesn’t hate minorities.
Just let him know that David Duke endorsed Jill Stein.
If that isn’t a literal mic drop on her campaign idk what more can be done. Just make sure everyone knows before they approach a voting booth.
Duke endorsed Stein because she does not support Israel.
The Stein campaign called David Duke trash and disavowed him.
The dishonesty here staggering.
Oh okay, so they’re just ideological comrades…
The politician you like best and the former head of the KKK are ideological comrades
Say that out loud a few times.
Lmao bro David Duke is an overt white supremacist. The association alone is damning, despite the disavowal.
The association alone is damning
He just said he supports her. That’s not an association. He agrees with her on her policy towards Israel. Unless you think her policy towards Israel is unreasonable and only would be held by a white supremacist, then its a ridiculous position to try and maintain, because it basically says that anyone who opposes us support of Israel agrees with David Duke and thus is “associated” with him.
Huh, the Nazi agrees with her stance on Israel? I mean, fuck Israel, but I wouldn’t want that endorsement on me.
And she denounced him. So clearly she doesn’t want it either.

I made my point and can defend it. You just hand waved it away with some empty accusation.
It’s clear who has more faith in their position. Both you and I know it too.

Lol in what fantasy world have I been defending David Duke?
Now do Cheney and Harris
What am I supposed to do? Repeated that an endorsement is a one way thing?
Your argument is that anyone who does not support Israel is a KKK member.
That is absolutely not what I am saying
If you’re saying that earning an endorsement from antisemites for going against Israel makes Stein an antisemite, by extension, for going against Israel, because that is why Duke endorsed her, then yeah that kinda is what you’re saying…
Duke is endorsing for Stein, because Stein does not support Israel and Duke is antisemitic.
Koch’s is voting for Harris, because she works for the billionaire class and he is a billionaire.
One of these two is not like the other.
Because as everyone should know by now. The only acceptable hypocrisy is leninist hypocrisy.
Stein earned the endorsement from a bad person by doing something good.
Harris earned the endorsement from a bad person by doing something bad.
Ooh that’s some good /agedlikemilk
She rejected the endorsement. Even if she is throwing the election don’t put that crap on her. She can’t control David Duke
Dick fucking Cheney endorsed Harris and she embraced it. And her poll numbers plummetted. That’s a bigger problem with an actual consequence.
Wait til you find out Dick Cheney endorsed Harris! Probably the chief architect of the “GWOT”, responsible for over 1 million dead. Fuck David Duke, but he’s fuckin small potatoes compared to Dick-Vader.
Reminder: Jill is a transphobic ableist who doesn’t believe autism exists
A lot of (and probably most of) the people supporting Stein currently are Muslims whose main interest in voting is regarding the genocide, and on social issues are generally more conservative (and may not agree with her on stuff like LGBTQ) and may not align with either major political party so likely wouldn’t be voting otherwise. I’ve seen a lot of Muslims support Stein on social media and the Stein rally I went to was almost entirely Muslims which is where I’m getting this impression. This is a case where the main parties need to earn their votes, and voting for Stein does not mean voting for Trump because they might not have voted blue either way.
(And regarding Lemmy drama most of the people here are voting PSL anyways so trying to convince people here not to vote for Stein is pointless because it’s the wrong audience.)
hmm PSL… Party for Socialism and Liberation? Claudia de la Cruz? I got no beef with them, how do you think that’s popular on Lemmy? Ohhh you’re on lemmy.ml
look Gaza and the wider Levant or whatever is not just potential real estate. But that is Trump’s milieu, is real estate scams, and he loves the idea of selling off Gaza to rich white folk. So vote for a third party at your peril.
Shill who?
Good. Fuck Jill Stein. Fucking grifter loser.
What would be harassment on Lemmy (learn to take a hint already), actually makes sense on tiktok. With it’s giant, young user base, there should be someone you can convince to vote for Harris.
However, I do think getting Jill Stein’s name out there could backfire. Remember, it was the media that made trump a viable candidate.
they should probably focus more on voting for Kamala Harris

A vote for Stein is a vote for Stein. Don’t try to bend logic.
Nah, you’re wrong.
Amen, brother!
It’s more like throwing your vote in the garbage, with the electoral college, but thanks for revealing what you are so I can block you
If voting for a third party is throwing your vote in the garbage, voting for parties backing a genocide is throwing it into the toilet.
Nope, sorry. Since those parties can win, your vote will not be wasted.
If I didn’t get a good laugh from every stupid thing Index says on a regular basis, I would have done the same already.
Blocking people just because of who they vote for?! lol Ok…
Sorry, I don’t communicate with people who support genocide enablers like Jill Stein.
🤷
No one owes anyone engagement. Especially someone like you. Who’s showing themselves repeatedly to be disingenuous and bad faith. You don’t have to like it. But there’s nothing you can do about it. Outside of act like a better person.
Oh come on. They’re a little overzealous about posting but it’s a major stretch to call them disingenuous and bad faith simply for disagreeing with you.
Voting third party is viable when we change the voting system, to ranked choice voting for example. Until that time comes, the two primary parties will remain dominant.
That is never going to happen.
It’s sure not going to happen by voting for Stein.
It’s literally already happening. Locality by locality state by state at least take the time to look around you before you make any absolute statements. It’s going to take forever at the national level absolutely. Far longer than I should. But it can and will happen.
The Green Party thanks Lemmy for all the publicity it has given to the Jill Stein campaign
Who?
Some rando
hahahah, yep!
any news is good news
