What are the books that talk about the reactionary epidemic among young people? I know that everyone grows out of the reactionary phase in their 20s, but have any academic philosophers looked into this? I think pseudointellectuals like Jordan Peterson are quite problematic, since young men only turn to reactionary idols if they grew up without a male role model in the house.

I think that if we replaced the Petersonian reactionary male role models around today, with men who are less prone to falling victim to the toxic masculinity personality type (someone like Justin Trudeau comes to mind) then we would have far fewer teenage reactionaries running around and ruining this board

Maybe its because we need to get rid of the stigma around the "tough white male reactionary" archetype for men? Men need to learn that they dont need to be strong, tough warrior types. Peterson has been poisoning the minds of the youth and is quite dangerous considering how influential he is

There used to be subcultures that would siphon off alienated youth. Where do white teen boys have a place of their own now?

The type of “conservative” people become as they age is a pragmatist who has no time for politics. They become more concern with paying the bills than any lofty ideas, no matter what those ideas may be.

If you think people become die hard conservatives as they grow older rather than just going for whatever ideas make their day-to-day life easier, you’re delusional.

In reality, masculinity is emerging for the first time in history. We can measure this by the market price of vagina. 100 years ago, and for all of history before that, you had 80%+ of your life's wages committed to a woman in order to even sample the pussy, and you only got to pick one. In today's dollars, that is a market price of about $2,000,000 for pussy. Today, however, the price of vagina has plummeted to about $0 (download an app and send a few "netflix and chill?" messages). This $0 market value of vagina represents an approximate equilibrium in the masculine-feminine competition, albeit with some legacy biases towards the feminine owing to a few thousand years of matriarchy. It won't be long before the market value of vagina is strongly negative, which is another way of saying that patriarchy has finally arrived. What we're experiencing today is the transitional phase from matriarchy to patriarchy. The dying matriarchy is making a fool of itself lashing out in a few ways (which you interpret as liberating feminism, not yet being wise to the fact that things are usually named opposite of their reality) but this will pass soon enough.

Justin Trudeau is like the male feminist who pretends to have "emotional intelligence" just long enough to get some naive girl into bed. He's an arrogant twerp who doesn't care about anything except the next election.

Being a Trudeau in Canada is like being royalty. I don't think foreigners really understand how privileged Justin's entire life has been, and how easy his road to power was. His father's party has been in charge of this country for the better part of a century. Because of this, Justin routinely gets away shit that would be a political death sentence for anyone else.
