[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re interested in this topic with regard to how it is or may play out in the US, check out people like Charlie Kirk. He is a conservative founder of Turning Point USA and regularly speaks on college campuses

Last week he was at Cal Poly and had 1200 students show up to see him. He has had similar outcomes on campuses around the country. His take on what is happening is that it is young men who are finally waking up. They see their future with things like home ownership threatened, plus culture issues like the transing of a generation.

As a mother of three boys I concur with his observation. [/quote]

My boss' son is in Turning Point. While teenage boys are exposed to more than of this ludicrous right-wing nonsense from Andrew Tate et al than is good for them, I don't see Turning Point as being more than a fringe group, mostly because it's cultish. These kids have been radicalized much like their Fox-watching adult counterparts. They are so far out of the mainstream for their generation it's sad. Unless they temper or reconsider their conservative stances, they will be perpetual outsiders in their generation. I see this in my boss' son. He's dropped out of college, doesn't have a girlfriend, has difficulty holding a job, comes back late after nights out drinking. It's bad. Some of this is as a result of the family dynamic/dysfunction, but anyone who would encourage their child to be involved in Turning Point is crazy.[/quote]
