It's not a perfect video by any means, but it's legitimely the first time I saw someone acknowledge a lot of issues perpetrated by men is men reacting to inhumane conditions of living as poor people under capitalism.

I don't have stats to back this up, but from my experience men tend to "fail" harder at capitalism - once they're not doing well, they don't get as much help if any, and it goes downhill. The rough sleeping homeless are predominantly male and people hate them. Tons of low paid unsightly uncomfortable jobs are filled entirely by men. Men live less yet tend to get worse retirement age (in some countries not even equal to women's). Men are dehumanized and frequently entirely seen as fully equivalent to robots to do the rich's bidding. They're meat fodder for their wars. And if they don't want to participate, they're systematically abused mentally and physically for it. And there's so much more. I do believe systemic misandry is possibly the biggest chunk of capitalism self preserving. And it's so ingrained into the society I nearly never see it spoken of, and right wing men's rights activists tend to only observe it skin-deep, without reflecting on who gets benefited by working men to death. Capitalism also always needs to create a group who is content with status quo, so it wouldn't benefit them to apply it to the entire society as severely, plus they need constant supply of new workers. But they also supply new workers mainly through immigrants such as myself, and they dehumanize as much and more as they dehumanize men in homogenous societies. As a chronic man lover, I find it grim. I love men so much I yearn for communism, so men don't have to suffer like this.
