You know it’s bad when people their age are calling other people out their age about complaining an anime is too diverse and woke.

"A blind, twelve year old Asian girl beating literally everyone?!? Get outta here with that DEI bullshyt"
Every comment section on this sub makes my ashamed to be associated with this generation
I need yall to think deeply about the state of American political culture now. Not everyone, but many people would very much have anti-woke opinions on this show if it premiered brand new today (the show was over 10 years old when it came out on Netflix so I don’t count it as being “released today”)

A blind girl who kicks everyone’s ass? JD Vance would hop on twitter and call it a DEI show

S3 when Aang goes to the fire nation school and learns about how they blatantly lie to the kids about the history of the genocide of the air nomads? Libs of Tik Tok would call it woke

People like Katara and Uncle Iroh teaching Zuko to be more sensitive and realize his mistakes? Andrew Tate would say that it’s the woke left feminizing men

It’s not everyone but there’s definitely a population out there that would have these opinions and there’s no reason to pretend like that’s not the case
So depressing that this generation was given unlimited access to information and instead of doubling down on progressivism and progress decided to backslide into boomer conservative because ‘checks notes’ “woke is cringe”. Pathetic.

Like man, how are you not even 30 yet but more bitter than people in their 70’s who have seen some shyt? Weak generation.

From what I can tell, Gen Z and Gen Alpha are going to absolutely age horribly. If you can’t even enjoy your 20’s, you robbed yourself. Most miserable and whiny generation by far.

With the 2000s nostalgia going on for the past 5 years the post is correct, if you bring any show or movie from that decade that had any ounce of diversity, they'll shyt on it with no hesitation. Hate watching been a thing for the past several years and it's really fukking people up mentally.

The reason you can't afford a house is found in your mirror. Quit blaming other people and get to work. Do something people value instead of whatever it is you do now.

"The guy responsible"..... for 10-15 years of millennials signaling a desire to never own homes, with developers matching their build plans accordingly, progressive cities seeing no sense of urgency in timelines while also emphasizing inner cores, then millennials growing up, and having kids, somewhat concurrent with covid era, the congestion, work from home and need for home study space making it clear to them that houses are good and suddenly causing a spike in demand after a lengthy period of light supply?

.....for the 3 years or so it takes developers to scout property, conceive plans, get financing, get preliminary city approvals, execute buys, complete plans, initiate construction, get approvals along the way, finalize builds and proceed into marketing?

....for higher interest rates due to second phase of covid stimulus, raising costs of ownership and slowing developer investment models?

I don’t know why this has to be political. The glass Steagall repeal in 1999 by passing the Gramm Leach Billet Act destroyed lending practices, which is what caused the 2008 crash. It gave banks the green light to lend to people who were poor and irresponsible.

@grok how is the Regan Bush administration responsible for the inflation of the housing market that we’re experiencing today? Did they allow corporations to buy them in bulk and artificially inflate the price?

@Gemjam42069
That's one hell of a delayed reaction if Reagan is why we can't buy houses.

Seeing as how I bought one as Covid was gearing up and would have been unable to after Covid ended, it seems more like the largest transfer of wealth in human history that occurred as a response to Covid is a more likely culprit.

Young men are blaming Democrats for Trump bleeding them dry

Supporters arrive before then-candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in North Carolina last November.

Young men are flocking to the GOP in distressing numbers, and thanks to them, Generation Z is on track to be the most pro-Republican in a very long time.

In other words, we dismiss them at our own peril. That’s why I’ve taken to writing about the topic so much. It’s easy for progressives to wave them away with talk of male privilege, but it doesn’t serve us to smugly ridicule them if it leads to more Republican presidents down the line.

The problems these young men face are varied. Culture wars over “wokeness,” feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, and race often frame men as either villains or as beneficiaries of unfair privilege. But young men, being young and new to the world, haven’t necessarily enjoyed those supposed perks of patriarchy. As such, they feel unfairly maligned. Many respond by embracing the oppositional, anti-establishment posture the right offers, especially online, where figures like Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, and other conservative influencers reinforce the narrative that Democrats are hostile to male identity.

At the same time, young men are falling behind in education, employment, and social mobility compared with women of their generation. Young men’s college-graduation rates lag significantly, and economic insecurity fuels resentment toward elites and institutions. Conservatives capitalize on this by scapegoating immigrants, diversity programs, and feminism, suggesting that young men’s struggles are the result of a “rigged” system favoring others.

And then the social media algorithms finish the job. YouTube, TikTok, Discord, and podcasts are powerful pipelines for conservative and reactionary content aimed squarely at young men. Algorithms reward edgy, contrarian voices that frame liberal politics as humorless, authoritarian, or emasculating. Democrats, meanwhile, have failed to counterprogram in these spaces, leaving right-wing influencers free to dominate the conversation among disaffected young men.

The economic picture adds more fuel.

“While the overall unemployment rate was still a respectable 4.2% in July, for young men aged 20 to 24, it was 8.3%, which is near recession levels—and for recent college graduates, the annual rate is 5.3%,” wrote Bloomberg columnist Allison Schrager. “Both of these numbers are about double the comparable figures for young women.”

Part of this, she notes, is cyclical: Men tend to work in industries more sensitive to downturns, such as construction and manufacturing, while women are more concentrated in sectors that are less vulnerable, like health care and education.

But that’s where the irony kicks in. Manufacturing and construction are also the industries arguably most affected by President Donald Trump’s tariffs. An analysis by the Washington Center for Equitable Growth found that of the top 25 subsectors of the U.S. economy most harmed by tariffs, a shocking 19 were in manufacturing.

And that’s not all. Repair and maintenance came in at No. 14, construction at No. 20, waste management at No. 21, and energy-extraction industries—i.e., mining and drilling—rounded out the list at No. 23 through No. 25. These are all overwhelmingly male-dominated industries. And as Schrager points out, the first to be laid off in those industries are the young ones.

You can see the vicious cycle. Trump’s policies directly damage the industries that employ young men, but when layoffs come, the right blames women, immigrants, and “wokeness” rather than the real culprit—the right itself. And thanks to the echo chamber of online influencers and algorithms, too many of those young men believe it.

Republicans break their jobs, then harvest their anger—while Democrats get the blame.
