@xkforce yeah youtube have a hair trigger for recommending Andrew Tate.

The UK's Tate Modern gallery sent an art exhibition about Light to New Zealand and I was very specifically looking for info on when it closed. Next minute Andrew Tate popped up in my youtube feed and was quite hard to dislodge.

I've since turned all recs off.

For real, doing a double take on one video can leave their shit popping up in your feed for weeks (on pretty much any social media site). Gotta be quick on the trigger to avoid that stuff

I use pipepipe without account so no algorithm just started watching some shorts and they showed one of his in similar and went to see him getting trashed and was kinda disturbed .

It's easy, first disable youtube history, then clear it, then enable it and search one video you like, watch it for 15 seconds, then disable youtube history again.

Now it will base off of your subscriptions.

He did ? Lol this guy is really a POS

Investigate tech companies. They know what theyre doing is causing political polarization to get worse.

Ive had this discussion with my wife.

Young (teenage) men are CONSTANTLY hearing about "Toxic Masculinity" with no real explanation as to what that is while they watch girls bully each other into eating disorders. Being told to "Respect women" but not what that means in practical terms, being told to not objectify women while their body is literally pumping them full of sex hormones. Regularly hearing and seeing stories about how "men" or the patriarchy are responsible for everything wrong in the world. Then here comes the confident man with the Lamborghini telling them "Nope being a dude is awesome, dont listen to those bitches. Look at my lavish lifestyle and these attractive women. Be like me, have this! Look at all the guys doing what the women say, do any of them live like me?"

Add in some good old fashioned teenage rebellion and the possibility of a lack of good close male role models...

Women, Yknow, wanting control of their bodies and not wanting to date Trump supporters.

• Good for them for having an actual brain and not dating trump supporters.

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.

I honestly don't know, but I'm afraid it won't end well at all.

Thank you

Both. Both is good.
