The “real problem” is that young people broadly have rejected challenging themselves AT ALL, about anything, and as a result have lost many skills we used to nurture growing up, like how to socialize and be liked by others and how to be charming and make others feel good.
Our real problem is a gnawing emptiness that people keep trying to satiate with online discourse and safe-spaces and discord servers where you can kick out and ban anyone who doesn’t align with your values.
As a result, young girls and boys alike are more lonely than ever, but it’s hitting men especially hard because they’re less able to fill that gap with close friendships and cuddling a best friend on the couch in a non-sexual way.
And as a result, they get pushed towards right-wing messaging, which makes others drive them away further, and society is just fucking CURDLING all over, and the more we bicker about it on the internet, the worse it gets.
