Young white men are being indoctrinated with 24/7 propaganda telling them they are the real victims
- What/Where is this propaganda?
  
  Its the lifeblood of the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
  
  Check Adolescence https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/adolescence for a drama on the topic.
  Warning: VERY dramatic.
  
  Social media, podcasts and media
  
  I'm sorry, I try to keep my media intake low, but what is being said that makes these white men feel like victims? Or, portraying them as the victim?
  
  Are you really fully unaware of incels, the manosphere, and the alt-right pipeline? This shit is all over social media.
  There's a strong encouragement for men to fall into this "redpill" philosophy that casts everyone who doesn't look like them, especially anyone who ends up on the less-privileged end of any measure of intersectional privilege, as an aggressor attempting to steal their place in society and "replace" them.
  Have you heard anyone complaining about how you can't make jokes anymore or can't compliment women anymore? They're echoing a hallucination of white male oppression by queer feminist socialists. In response they elected Trump and spend their days rumbling around in their massive coal-rolling pickup trucks that have never seen a speck of dirt or a heavier load than a few groceries or maybe a couch.
  
  What's the point of bringing this weird, condescending Reddit energy to what seems to be a genuine question?
  Not everyone lives on the internet, not everyone knows what an incel is, or who Andrew Tate is or what a manosphere is. Why not just answer the question normally? Holy fucking moly.
  In response they elected Trump
  Young incel type white guys did? I thought most of them didn't even bother to turn up. Look fuck the extremisation of the yutes through social media, it's genuinely awful and will likely have long lasting effects but we can't put the blame on them for all the ails in the world without recognizing that a lot of different segments of our population are fucking up right now and are in some small part contributing to more people being alienated from the left. You have to at least admit that it's a little ironic to say that they're imagining everything while also seemingly putting electing Trump solely on them. It's ultimately counter productive in the long run.
  
  It's weird... cuz, even if there is a bias against white men, its still white men that rule the most of the world and have all the money, and run the major corporations. But white men feel like they're getting replaced?
  On the other hand, America has always been a mix, but always had a strong foundation of white men, and it does feel like that base might be changing. Something is changing
  Edit: it's flabbergasting that a reply like this gets down votes
  
  People are becoming educated about the myth of racism and the privilege bestowed on pale skins by racism.

  I don't know how much privilege we can say was/is bestowed on white people. I think in history, white people weren't having much bestowed on them, rather, they were usually the bestowers.
  That sounds harsher than I wanted it to.
  
  USA is a nonstop racist shithole. You haven't noticed? Probably part of the problem.
  
  You can't classify all of America as a "racist shithole", it is just too big. We kinda have most of the spectrum. There are many towns and cities that are very welcoming, but there is the opposite as well. And some states compared to others are very different in their tolerance levels. (Real quick, Texas is bigger than most countries, i.e. Japan, Germany, the UK., etc.)
  But no, I live in a very diverse area, and in my area, at least, there are very few racist assholes. I traveled quite a bit around the states, for over 15 years, and I have seen many types of people. Many types of racist. But they are a very small minority. The shittiest minority groups are the loudest. That's why they can be loudest, because they are the shittiest. It's weird, but that's how it works.
  You know what other tiny group of the population is super loud? Like, you can't stop hearing about them/from them? It's the transsexuals. They are the loudest, most in your face... anyway.
  Honestly, you sound like a little judgemental twat.
  
  Your first reaction is to insult and write someone off? I think you sound like the problem. And an asshole.
  
  Troll
  
  It's only offensive because It is something I don't fully grasp. not a troll.
  
  Even if you were a troll, your questions are worth asking. All the reactionary downvoting and accusations are because you made them have to think about their position so they get defensive and echo their aggregated hate. I wonder if they also espouse the lack of empathy of the other party. Imagine the hypocrisy.
  
  No "empathy" for fascism.
  
  Okay. If that is meant as retort, you need to read my comment again. Otherwise, I don't see the context.
  
  You must be a victim.
  
  No I don't, you do.

  I see you've never heard of Fox News.
  
  What if one doesn't watch fox news?
