I think progressives never thought about this because we banked on immigration and demographic change allowing us to win culturally and electorally but the issue is immigrants tend to be overwhelmingly male, that is how Trump won actually he won over a lot of Hispanic,Black,Asian and indigenous men who feel humiliated by a new culture, economy and world.

So what can we do rhetorically and policy wise to win more young men over ?

    I want “manly-ness” to go extinct. Honestly I bet mods might delete my comment. But I feel the issue is we as a species are figuring out (slowly) that we all need to go extinct. Human brain architecture is fatally flawed. Greed and selfish notions, always striving for power, and the destruction of basically all other life in this planet, tells me we all need to simply accept that we are empherial, transient and temporary.

    Nothing is sacred, there is no gods or meaning. Ultimate Nihilism essentially. MISANTHROPIC ANTI-NATALISM. But also negative-utilarianism, which states that those who choose to stay living need to focus on reducing other people’s suffering. Honestly, it’s almost fascist itself, my beliefs. Here’s one: those who cause other people suffering should be executed! No tolerance for intolerance…

    Start by burning all the churches down. Outlaw religion, the mind sickness. Only allow what can be proven scientifically. But yeah, basically we need to genocide the genociders… no forgiveness. Cull the conservatives. No more nations or governments. No patriotism or nationalism or exclusive cultures… above all though, we humans are garbage and we have poisoned the entire planet. We must go extinct. Never get off this planet! Kill any who try to leave, gotta contain the cancer!

    EDIT: to answer the question of what could we do to win over more young men? Tell them and everyone else this, “we are going to Eat the Rich, and fucking slaughter Nazis!”
