I accidentally watched some youtube shorts and algorithm pushed a ahort about elon and then some shorts about tate . The comment section was acting like they were gods among men and everyone was wanting to be like them or praising them or wanting to follow them .etc . Do they only know who these people are from shit like shorts or reels and not anything else ? I think most of em are teenage boys . It was kinda disturbing anyway what are your thoughts ?

There is no 'solution', no amount of education or compassion will change them for the most part.

You will see occasional defectors but never enough to stem the growing tide of young entitled male bigotry.

In order to treat this, we need to address wealth inequality and the collapse of upward mobility.

Both of those take decades, and we don't have that kind of time.
