The hard truth is nobody cares about men. Even men don't care about other men. We have a lack of compassion for men and the issues that impact them. It is difficult to convince people to empower a group they believe already empowered.

It’s not that people don’t care about men. It’s that liberals don’t want to talk about class issues.
What is a liberal
In the context you usually see on Lemmy I believe it refers to anyone who believes in some form of market based capitalist system as opposed to communism or some form of.
Liberalism is a political ideology that arose in Europe in the late 18th century amongst intellectuals of the newly emergent middle class. They believed in individual rights and were opposed to the authority of the church and monarchy. (People who supported the church and monarchy were called Conservatives.)
Liberals later opposed the more collectivist ideologies that emerged in the late 19th century, like socialism and Communism.
Liberal ideas are so ubiquitous in the Western world, that you might not even realize them as part of an ideology, but they are.
For a long time, English politics was a rivalry between Liberals and Conservatives, and so those terms have been imprecisely borrowed to describe the Democrats and Republicans in the US, but that usage is incorrect. The US has never had a state church or a monarchy. Both sides of US politics are liberals.
filtered masks on jobsites with particles is still not a hard requirement, pay is not keeping up with the cost of living, no universal healthcare
welcome to the US
Class warfare is real shit.
Basic income, nationalized health care, public housing, free education. Would solve a lot of problems.
Enforce existing tax laws. Increase penalties for cheating on taxes. Tax unrealized gains. Break up monopolies.
The problems facing work class men are mostly downstream from all of these things.
Unfortunately working-class men are precisely the demographic most likely to adamantly vote against each and every one of those proposals.
Break up these “investment firms” whose only purpose seems to be to suck all the productivity for themselves, destroy the company, then move on to something else. They’re like the aliens from Independence Day, locusts.
Taxing unrealized gains is a terrible idea.
I think UBI and reskilling or upskilling programs with apprenticeship placements would help. I am not saying coding boot camps, I am saying more specialized stuff like electrical grid maintenance etc
ubi is only a bandaid to gross wealth accumulation by the rich.
Its rough out here. Every boss I've had in the past 10 years has minimized my labor, when I work my as off while he complains he's broke as he buys a Tesla and $2000 wheels and tires.
Working class people of all backgrounds wont be ok until the economy is owned those who produce the labor. Once the economic struggles are fixed the social struggles will naturally become historical.
We're ugly, and we smell bad.
