You got to break a few eggs to make an omelette you know? The detoxification of masculinity is a messy and necessary process after all. Some may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make as the ends justify the means. Do not pity them, they deserve it. They are reactionary radicals. ..Cool and normal.

Hi recuter. You wrote: "Some may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make". That is super weird: in what way would some person dying involve you making a sacrifice? - Do you include yourself in the list of the persons that would die? - Is it a sacrifice because you own these persons? - or is it something else I can't understand?

  That's a quote from Lord Farquad, the villain in the first Shrek film.

I have no idea what you wrote means and it certainly does not pertain to what I wrote. There is a very real crisis going on with men in the U.S. (and the world according to the article). It needs to be addressed. One consequence of marginalization of men is their tendency to radicalize politically. Amongst white men in the U.S. this radicalization is far more likely to be right leaning than left leaning. Regardless of the political direction this radicalization leans toward it is an issue and one should not let ideology blind us to reality. Wars, civil strife, etc. often times lead to totalitarianism (both left and right leaning) and all of its accompanying evils.

  I'm simply repeating to you mostly verbatim the article from The New Yorker espousing current progressive views. Forgive me but the radicalization appears to be every which way you look, marginalized men and women, just presenting itself differently.

    What some progressives say. In the U.S. no dispassionate person can believe that the radicalization of white men isn’t overwhelming right leaning. Right after the quotes you have is written: Richard V. Reeves, a British American scholar of inequality and social mobility, and a self-described “conscientious objector in the culture wars,” would like to skip past the moralizing and analyze men in the state that he finds them in.

      > In the U.S. no dispassionate person can believe that the radicalization of white men isn’t overwhelming right leaning. I suppose it fundamentally has to be that way? My understanding is that this radicalization stems from the "they took er jerbs"-type belief about economic struggle, which only applies if you believe in capitalism in the first place. Those on the left believe in the government (or similar model of shared ownership of capital) providing them a living and would be happy to see their job go to someone else. Any economic struggle they face is naturally blamed on that shared ownership model not being realized.
