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.

Women don't desire misogynistic fascists.

Grow the fuck up. Nobody is saying that. If that's what you're hearing, then you're mistaking having your entitlement questioned for persecution.

So retreat to your "safe space" where you can spend your days virtue signalling to one another? Awesome.

Men need to take responsibility for their lot in life. Quit blaming everyone else. Get educated. Push yourself forward. Maybe take a bit of a lead from the women who are leaving you in the dust. As a middle aged white male, I have no time for these shitheels. I'd trade them all in for hardworking humble immigrants in a heartbeat.
