Where the HELL are left-wing influentials and intellectuals!? - sh.itjust.works

A new study [https://www.indy100.com/news/andrew-tate-jordan-peterson-gen-z-men?utm_source=chatgpt.com] on Gen Z men revealed that Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson are among the most trusted influencers. It also found that 52% of UK men believe a “strongman” leader is needed to improve the country. Meanwhile, this article [https://www.teenvogue.com/story/young-men-trump-adin-ross-andrew-tate?utm_source=chatgpt.com] highlights how the right has been incredibly successful at indoctrinating young men into their ideology. Why the hell is right-wing content so much more effective at gaining support? And why do left-wing influencers consistently fail to do the same? I’ll tell you why: we decided that social issues should take precedence over everything else, and by so doing have thrown all nuance out the window in the process. The left—and I don’t want to hear Marxists bitching about how progressives “aren’t really leftists” because this kind of in-fighting is part of the fucking problem—needs to radically rethink its approach. Right now, the priority isn’t pushing our agenda. It’s stopping the worldwide fascist takeover. And yes, this might mean abandoning identity politics entirely, as it is largely responsible for driving people away from the left and toward right-wing populism. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_post-material_thesis?wprov=sfla1] We need left-wing influencers who can effectively use populist tactics. We need less extremism from the progressive left, because in our obsession with social issues, we’ve lost the plot. We need to refocus on the economic needs of the people and stop alienating those who would otherwise support us. The clock is ticking. Germany’s elections are coming up, and Elon Musk has already shown support for the AfD—the most far-right party in Europe. If we don’t correct course now, we’ll soon be living in a world where fascism dominates and equality is a pipe-dream.
