i think its deeper than that, a lot of these men are just isolated. ive been through some rough patches, and there wasnt any space for me to go back to after a particularly bad crisis or event in my life. i spent a huge amount of time completely alone in my life, and the right is there for people going through this exactly like televangelism is there for disillusioned boomers.

you can bet “Society lied to you, you aren’t superior.” was in my mind the entire fucking time: on my proto conservative little shit phase, on my apathetic lib phase, and today on my fuck capitalism years.

i just had the luck of having someone who didnt turn his back on me. because libs cant be argued with or some shit.
