If you've followed the news recently, there's a trend of young men joining fascist fight clubs. How can we stem the tide? What underlying issues are causing this?

Men are joining "fascist fight clubs" because gyms("fight clubs") are one of the few places in society that are truly accepting of men while encouraging aspects of masculinity that society still accepts and women desire.

They are being pushed more right due to the idea that everything men do is wrong and bad that the left has been talking about for 10-15 years. "Men are causing all the problems in society." "I'd choose the bear."

Alienating anybody pushes them towards anyone that accepts them. Why would you try to gain the acceptance of people who say you, everyone like you, everything you like is the problem, and we need less of you in the workplace?

How do you keep men from drifting right? Stop pushing them there by alienating them and gyms will be less right.
