For the past 30 years the young men of the West have received one universal message from politicians on the left and right of the mainstream:
“Shut up, step aside, and let others take the stage.” Young men have been told they are surplus to civilizational requirements. It’s an incredible shame.
This constant rather droning anti-masculine message, often laced with spite and even misandrist hatred, is being refreshed yet again by the Labour Party in the United Kingdom. The Labour government of Keir Starmer is cobbling together a strategy to combat “toxic masculinity” and the UK’s Secretary for Education, Bridget Phillipson, has said that the government must “combat” a “generation of misogynists.”

At best the left view men as a non-important group to ignore while at worst they diagnose masculinity and “maleness” as a pathological disease in need of curative intervention. This is reflected in the across the West.

The left is not alone in its abandonment and condescension toward young men, though. On the right the Republican Party in the States, Tories in the UK, and CDU in Germany have largely insisted that men shut up, man up, and take the socioeconomic punches with a stoic silence. Men have taken the punches in relative silence for decades at this point, and yet these “right-wing” parties also engage in the blame game against young men.
The Republican party blames the marriage crisis on young men and attacks young men who offer a nuanced opinion on the matter.

All this hatred from the left and badgering from the mainstream right has come to naught, however. The rise of so-called far-right parties—which are in fact nationalist parties—across the West is also giving rise to an increasingly confident youthful and engaged male voter bloc that is, for the first time in three generations, asserting its own interests. After years of being told men have “no right” to speak on issues such as abortion or racism young men are indeed beginning to make their voices heard.
