Good stuff. I hate the tendency of certain commentators (of all persuasions) to pathologize politics they disagree with, so glad to see someone critiquing a manifestation of it.
Galloway and co.’s spiel about (basically) incels channeling their frustrations into political radicalism just seems… incomplete? I feel like the median high school quarterback / prom king type skews just as right as the median Groyper. How does Galloway account for Trump’s fraternity fanbase? Galloway’s diagnosis reads as more of a thinly veiled insult than anything. He needs to nuance around the fact that “radicalism” has gripped young men broadly - entire spectrum of romantic fortune
Right on point, and not just young men too, look at Hasan Piker fans and how the left on TikTok reacted to Kirk's death. Boomer institutions are still strong but the status quo has been coming apart at the seems for the 18-30 set.
And we all know that too-we're all like watching each other on reels.
