The Alt-Right is What Happens when Society Marginalizes Men

Summary

Owen Strachan says stereotyping alt-right males as childish, vicious losers avoids facing the plight of contemporary men as an  important social concern. He says young men are "angry, flailing and dangerously volatile." He warns that dismissing their perspective is foolish and dangerous.

Quote

"It leaves you susceptible to groundswells that sweep over a culture seemingly without warning—the Tea Party, Brexit, Trump. Many folks on the progressive side assume that because they have won the college campus and now dominate the urban centers of power that the cultural game is over."

"But what looks like a fortress-grade progressive order is really an unstable element, as we have seen several times over. The ideological insurgency will never have Ivy League degrees to award, coveted Beltway bylines to dole out, or global-power conference invites to issue. But the insurgency is finding its audience, and the audience is destabilizing and even remaking the public-square, and all without central coordination or control of leading cultural institutions."

Understanding

It's finals week at my college, so here is a response to this content as a multiple-choice question -

1. Oh see how alt-right apologists are trying to normalize their behavior and create sympathy for these victims of political correctness
2. Why yes young men are falling behind and we should try to help them rather than  judge them by the most extreme behavior of their tribe
3. The fundamental problem is gender stereotyping that prescribes roles and norms which limit how men and women can freely express ourselves 
4. All of the above

I choose #4 which leads to no immediate solution other than treading warily, yet optimistically, forward looking for opportunities to connect and reconcile.
