Posts like this meme are just angry 19 year olds who hate their little sister's music and think this makes them "political".

Yeah, the thing about that is it extends to not just those you dislike. Using your Syria example, you as a private citizen can be murdered in the street by another private citizen with no repercussions, too.

You are an American, you don't live in Syria. As bad as America is, it's not Syria. Wanting it to get that bad is not smart.

 

Health Canada says daily cannabis use has remained stable since it was legalized in 2018.

The federal agency released data from its annual survey on cannabis consumption Friday, showing approximately 25 per cent of respondents consumed cannabis daily, or almost daily.

Overall, males were more likely to use cannabis daily or almost daily at 26 per cent compared to females at 21 per cent.

Among teenagers, 20 per cent per cent reported daily or almost daily use in the last year, compared to 23 per cent in 2018.

Fifty-six per cent of respondents consumed cannabis three days per month or less, compared to 55 per cent in 2018.

The survey also found 72 per cent of people who reported consuming cannabis in the past 12 months bought it from a legal store or website, an increase from 37 per cent in 2019, as statistics were not available for the previous year.

This is a typical, lazy straw man.

"The left" are first of all not some kind of monolith. Obviously. Second of all, the notion that this supposed monolith are all "shouting down men" is nonsense, too.

Now, there IS absolutely validity to small pieces of these arguments that the "left" have not offered young men the kind of guidance they need, while the right have done a great job providing them with tantalizing bogeymen. But the argument sin this post are more of the same tired perpetuation of a false Left/Right culture war argument that is generally levied by people like Rogan, Peterson, Crowder, Carlson, etc. They tell these lost young men it's some nefarious leftist plot to take away their manhood or whatever. The left's failure is to not have a could counter to that. But creating "their own joe rogan" is nonsense because that's just saying "they need their own version manipulating lies".

What the "Left" needs to do is be able to able to not blame young men for falling for that nonsense, but to recognize there it is filling a wanted gap among that demographic to have certain archetypes.
