Fantastic article! Very deep insight. It’s so important to understand how the current culture is influencing us. Thank you!

Also is it helps…. I’ve 3 sons ages 26, 30, & 32 (all still at home, but working and on their own paths) plus a step son in college, age 20. We are all white Cisgender, and therefore in my view privileged. But to them they view themselves as just… themselves. Not more or less than anyone else. They realize that a lot of social media platforms can be dumpster fires. They try not to be reactionary.

That gives me hope, in this generations future. And by extension, the next generations youth.

Thanks again for your many thought provoking articles.

My heart goes out to young men who've been so badly treated by this industry of horizontal criticism that, have you noticed, hardly ever goes vertical? Power has been reduced to this horizontal hierarchy-building while the real issues of power wielded over us by the most powerful comparatively small class of people in history.

If people's critiques of society don't go in both directions, I'm beyond not-interested in what they have to say.
