how the fuck are American men getting more conservative since the 2010s

what the fuck silly specs are they looking at the world through (I am aware that the answer is patriarchy)

It's mainly YouTube/social media. It's on 24/7 for zoomers and younger. What gets promoted on YouTube is all the conservative shitheads (because they have the most money invested in promoting their propaganda), and once you click on conservative commentators you get recommend fascists. Even if you click on 100% Marxist-Leninist stuff, it will recommend you conservative slop.

How can anyone be on the side that big tech social media algorithms push for HARD, and think they're on the side of the "good guys"?

Well chuds think they're against "big tech"

Brainworms brainworms at every level

They’ve moved from edgy libertarianism to edgy fascism

Is this really what the study shows? The BI article makes that claim but doesn't show any data besides a contradictory graph that shows young men identifying as "liberal" has stayed roughly the same. Yes, the gap between young men and women has increased, but I'm a little skeptical that young men overall have been shifting right compared to previous generations.

Yeah idk, something seems off about this data. The UK results are especially weird, I’m not ready to just accept these results. It’s also trying harmonize results from different polls. Might be a broad trend in the US of young women becoming more liberal faster but the idea that young men are more conservative than they were years ago, not sure about that.

This too conveniently falls into reactionary narratives about women.

I can't view the FT page. Is this multiple studies or just one? Who did the studies? That might give some hints if there is some intent behind publishing the study or studies.

Different studies for each country (fine print at the bottom of the image)

American men are told they need to be the strongest, cleverest either because they need to stand out against dei hiring and admissions policies, amongst their peers in the dating environment or simply live up to an idealized male.

Conservatives address that need directly, leftists do not.
