Also, literally who cares. This isn't politics. Zoomers and millenials are very left-wing and that hasn't changer significantly in recent years. This isn't happening at scales that are shifting the political landscape. Idk why there is an obsession with this shit.

    The big thing that isn't talked about is learning social skills. I think a lot of people are way behind on that. But unfortunately, due to being context dependent, it's harder to teach someone social skills than it is to teach them how to learn a hobby or an exercise routine. Honestly, that's what I think people are talking about when they talk about how there isn't enough advice for men about this.

    And the red pill types, while they hide it in so much misogyny, pseudo-evopsych, and a bunch of shit, does actually have some good advice on how to learn social skills hidden in them. Now, even when they give good advice, the reasons why they say it works is completely wrong. One example of this ks in the Mystery Method, when the reader is interested in a woman but she's talking with a group of friends, the reader is advised to talk to all of her friends to make her jealous. That is good advice, but hidden behind someone who thinks relationships are adversarial. The reason that works is not because it would make her jealous, but because she likely wants to talk to her friends, and she still can while talking to you, plus, if her friends approve of you, she's more likely to.

    Social skills are learnable, maybe we need to do more advice on that. Plus, I mean, how can we ever expect to organize if nobody knows how to socialize or build community?
