The rise of the manosphere is a deliberate ploy by the billionaire class to divide young people.

Before about 2-3 years ago, capitalists had a problem. This problem was that each generation was becoming more progressive and more socialist than the last. That was the case with millennials and was also continuiing to be the case with zoomers. For that, they needed a solution. The solution was in the manosphere. If they could brainwash young men into becoming misogynists, they would create a fissure between young men and women and provide a means of bringing men to the right and therefore away from socialism and to the service of the billionaire class. So they pumped out a lot of money promoting these manosphere influencers, manipulated the algorithms, ran bot farms until they got the result that they wanted.
