## Resource

ICE is many things — chief among them, an outgrowth of a seemingly neverending masculinity crisis. The U.S. government has devised a billion dollar strategy to recruit aggrieved young men into ICE with the promise of giving them a purpose: to “restore the homeland.” And their masculinity. The results have been devastating. A parallel crisis of manhood is unfolding in the form of looksmaxxers, a booming online community of men injecting meth and breaking their bones to enhance their perceived physical beauty. Today, YouTube essay legend F.D Signifier, Twitch culture streamer Caroline Kwan and I explore the evermore bizarre ways patriarchy is setting men up to fail while everyone else pays the price.
