12. Who is responsible
Tue Apr 29, 2025, 02:04 PM
Apr 2025

for the fact that some men feel powerless in this era of technological change? (The working class man's crisis is valid, but it has been distorted). I hope some of these wronged men are at least waking up and realizing their mistake in trusting the tRump thing and jumping on the MAGA wagon. Vote for an abuser, get abused. That should be sinking in. Vote for the 2025 Project, get axed.

Who is responsible? Not women or "libs." That's a really lame argument. Women and libs for the most part, have not had The Power. But they are easy groups to target and blame.

So who has The Almighty Power? (And who doesn't want to give it up?) -->> Conservative authoritarian white males who exploit others for profit, like maybe Joe Rogan, Don's gang, the Tech bros, the Billionaires, the CEOs, the honchos at Fux, ...the list goes on and on. The last 40 years have not been kind to anyone who really cares about economic justice, the working class, or democracy. And certainly it has not been kind to women.

There absolutely needs to be more emphasis on job training, for tech jobs and skilled trades. Biden initiatives on this have been seriously damaged. The Trumpian CEOS want dumb people who can be manipulated, not a stable, educated work force like for example, Germany.

At least assign blame to the guilty.

They don't need to. When they get out into the workforce, they still make considerably more than women. Scrivener7 Apr 2025 #20
