He bests down on young males to make him feel better about his sad life.

Thought provoking and I think quite penetrating analysis.

 

Looking from outside, I  think that there is a a major problem in American society, which your post identifies.

The US might be the epicenter, but the problem of underachieving males is worldwide. It is likely what is behind the growing movement toward autocracy and fascism, which is why it is particularly dangerous. Opening up the playing field to women, or in some melting pot nations to minorities, has smacked the egos of men who face stiffer competition. Rather than say "molon labe"; let me challenge myself and be the best I can be, too many males demand what they think is their entitlement.

 

Note how many times you've seen white males try to steal valor, as in "We gave the world this, this and this", when the "we" is just a male who happened to have the same color skin.

 

The most dangerous person is the failed young male...full of testosterone and looking to find people to blame.

 

 

The world has reached peak white guilt. Everyone is on equal playing field now. Blaming whites isnt going to work out anymore, the left needs a new playbook

One group is old white males, guys who are reflecting back on a life of mediocrity and minimal accomplishment, bitter at what they failed to achieve in life, and wanting somebody---anybody---to feel pain for their own lack of success. Trump won them by not only telling them their failure wasn’t their fault, but he gave them people to blame, whether that is immigrants or minorities or women. They can take that to their graves, but it doesn’t change the reality of their own inferiority.

 That first group of people seem to represent quite a sizeable chunk of the AseanNow keyboard warriors... Interesting thing is that they themselves are in large percentage immigrants to Asia, yet not seeing themselves as a (insert whatever dirty word here) they considered immigrants to their own country to be. Someone should to a research into this, I'm sure results of looking into the minds to those would be fascinating.

He probably illegally entered th or is on overstay.

Wonder where he plagiarized that from.

While I am a progressive, I think I’m in the majority of those left of center who believe the US benefits from a true conservative movement, just as it benefits from a true progressive movement. When both are present, the excesses of both sides are held back.

 

Trump hijacked the true conservative movement and turned it into a fascist, self-serving, oligarchic movement, that appeals to the forlorn by preaching hate and blame. His timing was perfect, as he arose at a time when the playing field was becoming more equal, and those accustomed to entitlement by virtue of their gender or ethnicity faced more competition and realized life was going to take a lot more effort than they were willing to put out.

 

That hateful, blame-driven, lazy demographic has taken over what used to be the conservative movement. They have built upon the warped ideology Trump introduced and are now taking it down an even worse path. They’ve embraced the fake Christians, the racists, the antisemites, the conspiracy theorists, the misogynists and other miscreants and try to portray themselves at patriotic, piously Christian, masculine and tough, when they are nothing of the sort.

 

It's time for both sides of the spectrum to police their own outliers, but the right has much more work to do, because their fringe is now their mainstream.

Trump built his brand by courting and appealing to two types of white males. Together, these two are his bread and butter---or extra crispy and fries---and propelled him to his two wins.

Trump won them by not only telling them their failure wasn’t their fault, but he gave them people to blame, whether that is immigrants or minorities or women. They can take that to their graves, but it doesn’t change the reality of their own inferiority.

 

The second group is the new young white male, a grossly underachieving guy whom society has left behind, but for whom tech bros and the social media tycoons have a ready product.

 

Young white males have fallen far behind their female peers. Females now greatly outnumber males earning college degrees. The pay gap has closed dramatically. Social media and addiction to phones and laptops has prevented young males from developing any sort of social skills. Young males are much more likely to live with their parents, be unemployed, and according to NYU Professor Scott Galloway, four times more likely to take their own lives. Fully a third of young white males are now reaching age 30 as virgins. They have no game, and because women are, on average, better educated and more likely to be gainfully employed, these males have nothing to offer women. The women don’t want them.

 

Young males tend to blame immigrants for their economic failure and women for their relationship and romantic failure. They’re incapable of accepting responsibility. The tech bros recognize this and produce algorithms that direct these guys to content that will feed their frustration, whether it’s on Reddit, Telegram, Truth Social, Facebook or Twitter. As Galloway, a former marketing tycoon said, the tech bros realized advertisers long got things wrong: they thought sex sells, while the tech bros know rage sells better. They feed young males content that enrages.

 

There are a large percentage of young white males who live in Mom’s basement, spend their days playing video games or scrolling social media targeted to their needs, and getting any carnal satisfaction by fapping to online porn. They think sex is pulling hair, choking, butt-to-mouth and other means of domination. No wonder women don’t want them. If they have a job, it’s being a crypto or meme stock trader. Online has become their life. They lack the motivation to improve themselves, get educated and learn job skills, get in shape, develop a personality, and learn how to build relationships with women. It’s much easier just to do nothing but blame others. They’re content to have Mom provide dinner, porn to provide “relationships”, and the fever swamps of the far right to provide “news” and outrage. They get into online echo chambers where one guy reinforces the misogyny and racism of another, until they become a hive of hate and anger. They think “Bros before hoes” is some clarion call of masculinity.

 

Trump’s “gift” was that he knew this anger and frustration was out there, and inherently knew such people were just like him----always looking for others to blame for what they failed to achieve. Of course the average young male lacks a daddy who will fund and back his life, allowing him to manufacture a false persona.

 

If Trump could possibly be honest, and admit the cause for his woeful insecurity, he would admit the only thing that kept him from a dead end job pouring Slurpies at a 7-11 or driving a truck was his daddy’s money and co-signed loans. On his own, Trump’s record is one of continual failure. Six bankruptcies---and for casinos of all things---says what his skill level as a businessman is, or isn’t. He took his father’s money, got loans co-signed, regularly stiffed contractors….and still failed in a real estate bull market. What finally saved him and got him where he is today is that Mark Burnett saw Trump’s self-created fantasy of a “dealmaker” and a business success, along with the constant hyperbole, could sell to a naïve and clueless audience. Burnett thus created “The Apprentice”, a TV game show that became a ratings winner and put hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s pocket. Trump additionally benefited when his successful father passed and left him almost half a billion dollars. Not so surprisingly, Trump then proceeded to fritter away that enormous wealth on money-losing projects such as golf courses and a myriad of failed businesses, from a fake university to steaks. (His domestic golf courses, being privately held, need not issue P&Ls, but his international properties such as Turnberry must issue P&Ls, and they show losses.)

 

Just how poorly Trump handled his own finances came to light when he said he did not have the ability to pay the fines and penalties imposed on him due to court cases he lost.

 

As a man who understood failure and his own tendency to need to blame others, Trump inherently knew how to appeal to similarly incompetent young males. He was vocal about all those people who should be hated and scorned. Immigrants were destroying the fabric of America, even “spoiling the blood”. Women and minorities were taking jobs because of DEI programs. Trump could fix that and give these loser males what was “rightfully” theirs. He couched his hatred in patriotic terms, even with his tag line about making America great “again”, with “again” a transparent call to a time when women and minorities “knew their place”, and white men were supreme simply by virtue of their birth, gender and skin color.

 

Certainly Trump’s siren song of “It’s not your fault you’re a failure” resonated, at least with white males. The problem is that rage and ability to blame takes on a life of its own and is moving out of Trump’s control.

 

It comes as no surprise that when hatred and blame are policy, platform and ideology, it will seep into the darkest corners of human thought and behavior. It’s no wonder young white males are into misogyny, following such miscreants as Andrew Tate. It’s no wonder they are embracing fascism, just hoping they’re on the right side of it. It’s no wonder they get glee watching masked and badgeless stormtroopers rough up people who “look different”, even when some of these people being roughed up are US Citizens. It’s no wonder there is a growing movement to not only embrace, but voice public admiration for Hitler, Naziism and antisemitism.

 

Trump gave the all clear to the worst of humanity in many ways. He called white males who marched with Tikitorches chanting “Jews will not replace us”, and males who attended a protest against the removal of statues of men who supported slavery, “some very fine people”.

 

When he called his cult to DC for 6 January 2021 and told them to “fight” and march to the Capitol as Trump’s election loss was being certified, he told them “We love you very much”, even after they beat 140 cops and set up a gallows to hang the Vice President. That isn’t tough love, it’s pandering to the worst human instincts.

 

Trump further shouted the “all clear” to hate and antisemitism when he invited Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes to a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago along with antisemite Kanye West. Fuentes has now even been platformed by far right icon Tucker Carlson. Also, the recently leaked transcript of an online chat of Young Republicans (many of whom are in their 30s and some are running for public office) showed such absurdity as “I love Hitler”, and “I’m ready to watch people burn”, and “Rape is epic”.

 

Trump opened Pandora’s Box and let these miscreants out. He encouraged their hatred and rage, and it has now become the bedrock ideology of the MAGA movement. MAGA now equals fascism, racism, misogyny and antisemitism. Never has that been more clear than in the last month, with everything from Young Republicans to the MAGA-ly conservative Heritage Foundation coming to the aid of Nick Fuentes, preventing Fuentes from being “cancelled”.

 

The bitter old white male demographic is dying off, but the up and coming leadership of the MAGA movement are these angry white males who love Hitler, blame women for their own romantic failures, and blame immigrants and minorities for their lack of economic success.

 

MAGA increasingly is the Party of hate, Hitler, racism and misogyny.

 

All of that got Trump elected, but the damage it wrought has only just begun. Ideally, real conservatives will retake the Party from MAGA and give Americans a fair choice. Ideally, there will be a role model emerging who will teach young males what it really means to be a man, not a misogynistic self-serving psychopathic crybaby like Trump. Trump is certainly the farthest thing from a real man, but sadly, he influenced a large segment of the young male population, while he appealed to the loser old men. The old guys are dinosaurs, on their last gasp of existence, but the young ones remain a threat to all that is good and decent and truly American.

1 Hillary and Kamala being retarded

2 tax cuts

3 Fixing the border

4 He has a better personality which you obvious lack and bore everyone with long rants

What a bowl of racist pablum.

What pushed Trump to victory were minorities: Black and Asians, who once were Democrats and then flipped for the 2024 election.  Trump already has the conservative white male vote wrapped up and tied with a bow.

Hey OP.  You hate whites, right?  Just say it.  You could have shortened the entire OP to, "I hate whites."  Or more likely, "I hate straight white conservative males."  👈 Less words, more impact.

Well we are at the end stage of a collapsed empire that lasted for 400 years but we still don't have 40 million relying on food stamps, the American 'empire' lasted barely a hundred years and is just beginning to dissolve so you have plenty of time to consider that wealth due to debt isn't sustainable, eventually the 'lesser' countries of the world stop lending you money for 'the American dream'.

I don't like the OP's premise, but his screed is OPINION.  Opinion doesn't require "facts being <sic> backed-up with links and data."  I don't agree with any of it, but I'll support his right to his opinion.  This nonsense demanding that the OP supply, "facts being backup with links and data," to support an opinion piece is just your way of attempting to shut down his voice.  "Opinion" is self-evident 'truth' to the holder of the opinion regardless if others consider the opinion to be highly factual or utter baloney.  I consider his OP to be utter baloney, but he has my backing to express his opinion. Censorship - to me personally - is more vile then the worse of opinions.

Well we are at the end stage of a collapsed empire that lasted for 400 years but we still don't have 40 million relying on food stamps, the American 'empire' lasted barely a hundred years and is just beginning to dissolve so you have plenty of time to consider that wealth due to debt isn't sustainable, eventually the 'lesser' countries of the world stop lending you money for 'the American dream'. 

The US will live on and Europe will collapse.  We don’t 40 million people relying on food stamps.  We have a lot of people taking advantage of a government program.

I didnt read that. Nothing wrong with white people although i realize this forum seems to have a big problem with them

Pretty humorous considering that the majority of forum members are old, white guys.

What a bowl of racist pablum.

What pushed Trump to victory were minorities: Black and Asians, who once were Democrats and then flipped for the 2024 election.  Trump already has the conservative white male vote wrapped up and tied with a bow.

Hey OP.  You hate whites, right?  Just say it.  You could have shortened the entire OP to, "I hate whites."  Or more likely, "I hate straight white conservative males."  👈 Less words, more impact.

Yep he must have been bullied. Last year he was talking about gyms.

Trump built his brand by courting and appealing to two types of white males. Together, these two are his bread and butter---or extra crispy and fries---and propelled him to his two wins.

 

One group is old white males, guys who are reflecting back on a life of mediocrity and minimal accomplishment, bitter at what they failed to achieve in life, and wanting somebody---anybody---to feel pain for their own lack of success. Trump won them by not only telling them their failure wasn’t their fault, but he gave them people to blame, whether that is immigrants or minorities or women. They can take that to their graves, but it doesn’t change the reality of their own inferiority.

 

The second group is the new young white male, a grossly underachieving guy whom society has left behind, but for whom tech bros and the social media tycoons have a ready product.

 

Young white males have fallen far behind their female peers. Females now greatly outnumber males earning college degrees. The pay gap has closed dramatically. Social media and addiction to phones and laptops has prevented young males from developing any sort of social skills. Young males are much more likely to live with their parents, be unemployed, and according to NYU Professor Scott Galloway, four times more likely to take their own lives. Fully a third of young white males are now reaching age 30 as virgins. They have no game, and because women are, on average, better educated and more likely to be gainfully employed, these males have nothing to offer women. The women don’t want them.

 

Young males tend to blame immigrants for their economic failure and women for their relationship and romantic failure. They’re incapable of accepting responsibility. The tech bros recognize this and produce algorithms that direct these guys to content that will feed their frustration, whether it’s on Reddit, Telegram, Truth Social, Facebook or Twitter. As Galloway, a former marketing tycoon said, the tech bros realized advertisers long got things wrong: they thought sex sells, while the tech bros know rage sells better. They feed young males content that enrages.

 

There are a large percentage of young white males who live in Mom’s basement, spend their days playing video games or scrolling social media targeted to their needs, and getting any carnal satisfaction by fapping to online porn. They think sex is pulling hair, choking, butt-to-mouth and other means of domination. No wonder women don’t want them. If they have a job, it’s being a crypto or meme stock trader. Online has become their life. They lack the motivation to improve themselves, get educated and learn job skills, get in shape, develop a personality, and learn how to build relationships with women. It’s much easier just to do nothing but blame others. They’re content to have Mom provide dinner, porn to provide “relationships”, and the fever swamps of the far right to provide “news” and outrage. They get into online echo chambers where one guy reinforces the misogyny and racism of another, until they become a hive of hate and anger. They think “Bros before hoes” is some clarion call of masculinity.

 

Trump’s “gift” was that he knew this anger and frustration was out there, and inherently knew such people were just like him----always looking for others to blame for what they failed to achieve. Of course the average young male lacks a daddy who will fund and back his life, allowing him to manufacture a false persona.

 

If Trump could possibly be honest, and admit the cause for his woeful insecurity, he would admit the only thing that kept him from a dead end job pouring Slurpies at a 7-11 or driving a truck was his daddy’s money and co-signed loans. On his own, Trump’s record is one of continual failure. Six bankruptcies---and for casinos of all things---says what his skill level as a businessman is, or isn’t. He took his father’s money, got loans co-signed, regularly stiffed contractors….and still failed in a real estate bull market. What finally saved him and got him where he is today is that Mark Burnett saw Trump’s self-created fantasy of a “dealmaker” and a business success, along with the constant hyperbole, could sell to a naïve and clueless audience. Burnett thus created “The Apprentice”, a TV game show that became a ratings winner and put hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump’s pocket. Trump additionally benefited when his successful father passed and left him almost half a billion dollars. Not so surprisingly, Trump then proceeded to fritter away that enormous wealth on money-losing projects such as golf courses and a myriad of failed businesses, from a fake university to steaks. (His domestic golf courses, being privately held, need not issue P&Ls, but his international properties such as Turnberry must issue P&Ls, and they show losses.)

 

Just how poorly Trump handled his own finances came to light when he said he did not have the ability to pay the fines and penalties imposed on him due to court cases he lost.

 

As a man who understood failure and his own tendency to need to blame others, Trump inherently knew how to appeal to similarly incompetent young males. He was vocal about all those people who should be hated and scorned. Immigrants were destroying the fabric of America, even “spoiling the blood”. Women and minorities were taking jobs because of DEI programs. Trump could fix that and give these loser males what was “rightfully” theirs. He couched his hatred in patriotic terms, even with his tag line about making America great “again”, with “again” a transparent call to a time when women and minorities “knew their place”, and white men were supreme simply by virtue of their birth, gender and skin color.

 

Certainly Trump’s siren song of “It’s not your fault you’re a failure” resonated, at least with white males. The problem is that rage and ability to blame takes on a life of its own and is moving out of Trump’s control.

 

It comes as no surprise that when hatred and blame are policy, platform and ideology, it will seep into the darkest corners of human thought and behavior. It’s no wonder young white males are into misogyny, following such miscreants as Andrew Tate. It’s no wonder they are embracing fascism, just hoping they’re on the right side of it. It’s no wonder they get glee watching masked and badgeless stormtroopers rough up people who “look different”, even when some of these people being roughed up are US Citizens. It’s no wonder there is a growing movement to not only embrace, but voice public admiration for Hitler, Naziism and antisemitism.

 

Trump gave the all clear to the worst of humanity in many ways. He called white males who marched with Tikitorches chanting “Jews will not replace us”, and males who attended a protest against the removal of statues of men who supported slavery, “some very fine people”.

 

When he called his cult to DC for 6 January 2021 and told them to “fight” and march to the Capitol as Trump’s election loss was being certified, he told them “We love you very much”, even after they beat 140 cops and set up a gallows to hang the Vice President. That isn’t tough love, it’s pandering to the worst human instincts.

 

Trump further shouted the “all clear” to hate and antisemitism when he invited Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes to a private dinner at Mar-a-Lago along with antisemite Kanye West. Fuentes has now even been platformed by far right icon Tucker Carlson. Also, the recently leaked transcript of an online chat of Young Republicans (many of whom are in their 30s and some are running for public office) showed such absurdity as “I love Hitler”, and “I’m ready to watch people burn”, and “Rape is epic”.

 

Trump opened Pandora’s Box and let these miscreants out. He encouraged their hatred and rage, and it has now become the bedrock ideology of the MAGA movement. MAGA now equals fascism, racism, misogyny and antisemitism. Never has that been more clear than in the last month, with everything from Young Republicans to the MAGA-ly conservative Heritage Foundation coming to the aid of Nick Fuentes, preventing Fuentes from being “cancelled”.

 

The bitter old white male demographic is dying off, but the up and coming leadership of the MAGA movement are these angry white males who love Hitler, blame women for their own romantic failures, and blame immigrants and minorities for their lack of economic success.

 

MAGA increasingly is the Party of hate, Hitler, racism and misogyny.

 

All of that got Trump elected, but the damage it wrought has only just begun. Ideally, real conservatives will retake the Party from MAGA and give Americans a fair choice. Ideally, there will be a role model emerging who will teach young males what it really means to be a man, not a misogynistic self-serving psychopathic crybaby like Trump. Trump is certainly the farthest thing from a real man, but sadly, he influenced a large segment of the young male population, while he appealed to the loser old men. The old guys are dinosaurs, on their last gasp of existence, but the young ones remain a threat to all that is good and decent and truly American.

 

Good grief!  
 

Another cut and paste from Cosmopolitan? or Vanity Fair?

 

You think people actually read that crap?

 

One look at the title and OP is all I need.

 

Meanwhile the male GenZ’s are turning to Trump.

 

The betas, not so much.

Wonder where he plagiarized that from.

Sounds like his own "voice" to me personally.  However, if you wish to check for plagiarism, it is easy enough to do in this day and age of AI.  Just Google: "Free Plagiarism Checker" and go to town.  The only link that is cited for the OP's opinion piece in the Plagiarism Checker that I used is the original Asean Now link to his OP.  It's not plagiarized.
