The entire "dude-bro" / "tech-bro" / DOGE nut sniffer subculture is a vast wasteland of idocracy brought to life. The saddest par is that when they wake up and realize that Crypto is a scam, they are broke and they have lost any chance at building skills or viable plans for life in their 30's and 40's i will be too late.

them to support him. It was the fact that he was running against a woman. An accomplished powerful woman. Their misogyny and hatred towards women like that drove them to trump.

This poor men thing is ridiculous.
I saw a recent article that said men feel restrained in the workplace and feel like they are walking on egg shells for fear of saying the wrong thing.

As a father of 3 amazing young women, the husband of an amazing wife (who I would work for any day of the week and twice on Sunday if I could), and the son of a mother who was a trailblazer for all that has followed, I am agahst at the "manosphere", the "incels" and whatever other name is popularized for young men who are essentially taught to fear and hate women rather than treat them as equals and humans first.

The whole thing - especially the online elements like podcasts and daily shows - is disgusting and pathetic on one hand and predatory and opportunistic on the other. The young men feeling lost and rudderless find this kind of hate and pseudo-tough talk in forums and podcasts and chatrooms while playing video games and get swept into it as if ANYTHING they hear or say in those settings is remotely true or wise. The volume of victimhood and blaming and outright hate that is spewed by, for and at them is like a tsunami of bad ideas and worse outcomes.

It makes me sad for the future and angry at the present constantly.
