Young men just need to understand women more. They think guys like Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate know what women want. They don't.

That's a smaller part of it. The spaces they associate with the left are full of things saying, in so many words, "men bad". Of course they would be repelled from that, and attracted to things saying "the world is treating you unfairly, men are great actually, he's how you can be more masculine". Sure, those sources are incredibly toxic, but why would the average, low-info, and lonely young man ever choose otherwise?

One huge issue is that any leftist Joe Rogan would either be a total asshole nobody should listen to, or would face intense criticism for any ideological diversions and not trying to end Zionism and Capitalism

Not until they positively support sex and sexual discovery/exploration. As well as support fetishes and kinks among consenting adults.

Because young men just want "bang-bang-bang" all day long.

What does leftism even mean if you're not at a minimum opposed to those two things? At that point, you're talking about a liberal, not a leftist. And that basically already exists, he's named Jon Stewart.

It's true that it's very hard to occupy that type of space on the left though because of all the important and unimportant sectarian splits and different ways of thinking. But that's not going away.

More on topic, it's going to be very difficult for some basic and unavoidable reasons. Chief among them is that one side is telling people they're awesome as is or that any problems they're having are being caused by women or minorities or secret communists and one side is going to have to ask a lot of men of any age to reflect and improve and possibly experience significant and ongoing discomfort. That's a big ask.

Plus, we have to think about what's waiting at the end of the rainbow for these men when we're talking to them. The right offers them prosperity, control, strength, etc. The rewards on the left aren't always as clear, or people are expected to sacrifice without reward, or the reward is being a better person and supporter of other types of people. That should be enough, but often, it's not.

There has to be an end worth aspiring to and it has to be clear that the right wing path is a mirage and a trap.

I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black.
There's a reason you don't see many Democrats going on leftist podcasts.

Because leftist podcasts are usually run by actual leftists.

Young men are pretty much too far gone at this point and it is better to focus on who we have than convert the others.

The thing is, this can transfer over to these same beliefs that 'all black people are bad', 'all trans people are bad', 'all mexicans are bad'.... etc. They just fail to see how the same people they attack face this kind of shit day in and day out, and these people try to still be upstanding citizens and are still attacked for being who they are.

To me, the whole situation is the blind leading the blind here. They want to be seen as 'not all men are bad, I am a nice guy' but refuse to give those royalties to other groups because they feel they deserve it and they are in the right.

America has been strongly getting more publicly angry and defensive. It's incredibly rare to find someone who will agree it was 'their bad' when they were at fault. And the media has been feeding these people this narrative for decades. "You lost your job because THAT GUY FROM COLOMBIA stole it!" ...... not because "You may have an anger problem" or "Saying sexualizing comments to people is bad" .....

Like, I dunno. I am trans. I am pretty much ace. I cannot relate to these guys but it's always been absolutely baffling how they can't just act fucking normal around women. Oh, and on that note, accept that the 'friend zone' is bullshit, and many women would love to settle down with a guy they got to knew first. I think randomly starting dates with people you never met is absolutely the wildest thing and it definitely makes women more on edge and in danger, so women's retaliation against men overall when it comes to dating, likely stem from this.

This kind of stance does not help get men into leftist spaces, because it's ignoring the issues that they face, because you don't see it. Tate and them didn't come out of nowhere. They saw a generation of men who didn't feel like they belonged anywhere and took advantage.

The young generation is big on TikTok and TikTok likes to promote both misogyny and misandry. Men obviously aren't going to listen to misandry, so they will end up falling into the hole of misogyny.

Right, sure, absolutely no one but those people are using twitter. That's why bluesky has gotten so much bigger than twitter over the past years. Except none of this is true. You're confusing Musk's directives and the increased right wing presence with the total population of twitter, which, until this decade, had a majority left wing presence. Most of those people are still on twitter. A lot of people here are still on twitter. Twitter allows you to fall into a bubble easily, but don't be fooled by it.

Before Elon took over, Twitter did have an overabundance of smug liberals who always lectured people. Remember all the "check your privilege" stuff? >_>

That's why some people were glad when Elon bought it, because he was supposedly gonna equalize the platform so leftist echo chambers wouldn't dominate and things would be more "fair."

But then we all saw how that turned out....

No, she said Tate "know what women want", not "care what women want". Different things. The old misogynist standby is that women want to be taken control of, despite their own protests.

Not unless leftists can get past their purity tests, superiority complexes (just because you're smarter than a right winger doesn't mean you should be a dick), and actually get a decent platform to stand on (this is the most important).

Problem number 1 there is the false assumption that all of them also think trans are bad, or whatever you insert.

Like what you are saying in your first paragraph works both ways. Too many fall into this trap when asking the question to how to win a base over. If your genuine intention is to win them over.... accusing them of believing something that they genuinely don't isn't winning them over.

For the same reason one shouldnt point to one black person, and then paint all of us as bad. Same applies to many other groups such as immigrants, white people, etc etc. Or in this case, young men.

Pointing at actual bigoted young men doesn't mean it's correct to assume all young men who voted Trump in 2024 think immigrants are bad, or hate women, or any other assumed belief you think they voted for Trump for. Especially when many people voted for Trump for things like the economy, and for example don't know what a tarrif is.

TLDR, So to answer this topic question, start with tackling this question as if all young men aren't a monolith. So why we lost some this election is not a monolith reason. Assuming all of them hate immigrants or LGBT or whatever you want to insert your assumptions..... aren't helping if you genuinely want to win them back.

I've heard enough from Tate to know he just doesn't think what women want is relevant. It's not 'he knows what she wants", his view is "what she wants is irrelevant."

Given how hostile left-leaning spaces can be towards men, I think it's safe to say that they'd be more easily converted into being liberals than leftists because of their desire to be providers and earners.

You're right, they didn't come out of nowhere they're the spawn of the anti-feminist movement that has existed since before all of us were born that's done nothing but turn the idea of female empowerment and equality into an attack on maleness. The idea that leftist and liberals hate men is a lie that uses extremists to push a narrative, you can't argue against it with facts anymore than you can the idea that vaccines cause autism because the person you're arguing against no longer believes abject reality. There is no war on maleness anymore than there's a wave of violent crimes being committed by immigrants.

You're right though, I don't know how to turn young males away from the right because I'm not going to prey on their insecurity to get them to do so but the fact is if being a decent human being isn't going to convince them I don't know what possibly can.

I think making people's lives meaningfully better will do more to get young men than trying to convert them through allegories for their current media consumption.

The reason someone like Andrew Tate is popular among young men is because he's promising a society that can't really happen anymore but it's more appealing than slow, incremental improvements.

Might be a joke but honestly, I genuinely think the online left ironically embracing being conservative in regards to male sexual interests plays a not insignificant part in driving many young men away. I've seen tons of straight men who were otherwise progressive with a lot of things get grifted into becoming anti-woke solely because they feel the left are censoring their sexuality.

Everything I read about the non-pipelined youth is that they're too scared of repercussions if they make any kind of direct move, so a lot of them just don't make any move, at all.

It takes empathy to be a left wing individual. A great many people are lacking in that department, and that's why the world is a terrible place.

It's easier to hate and do no self-reflection instead of trying to change things for the better.

It's possible but not likely, at least in my opinion. There would need to be some noticeable disconnect from establishment Democrats that's visible and palatable enough to normies while also having the perception of being counterculture.

I'm sure it wasn't your intention but this logic is part of the problem. Even though there's more than a shred of truth to it, you can't win people over with the "if you disagree you're uneducated trash" line of thinking. Part of what turns off a lot of people from the left (or at least establishment Democrats) is this air of condescension and superiority.

Thanks for reading!

And this is the true crux of the matter. The reason it's hard to turn people away from right wing spaces is because some of the riches and most powerful people on Earth have a vested monetary interest to keep them there so everywhere they go they get bombarded with messaging designed to keep them there.

It happens in the spaces and among the people I like to spend time with and associate with. I get a bit tired of queer and/or enby people telling me what my experiences must be like and how I should feel about them.
