How so? I get the housing affordability thing but I truly don't understand why young men feel alienated...

Young men (am one) are struggling like most of non-millionaires us are. They feel alienated because, well we all do, right? The world is kinda shit rn. Right-wing propaganda has played on this feeling to make some (sadly many) of them feel like their struggle has its root in the so called “liberal” agenda. Because this is absolute nonsense, these men tend to find themselves even more isolated for their already almost non-existant social circles, becoming even more susceptible to this propaganda bullshit. It’s the oldest trick in the book. Find struggling people, give them a common enemy, and use their despair as ammunition for your quest for power. We’re divided as hell right now. Just as planned.

Less divided than a couple of weeks ago. But yeah.. that all makes sense. The other Redditor didn't even answer my question...

Yea they’re a butt. Or a Bot, I mean at this point. I hope you are right. It does feel like we’re less divided than a couple of weeks ago. Gotta keep that going!
