## Resource

John Lovell from Warrior Poet Society dives deep into the struggles of Gen Z men (ages 13-28) in today's world. After reaching out on X to understand their perspective—especially conservative and libertarian young guys—John shares his shocking realizations. From skyrocketing inflation, unaffordable housing, and a dating scene wrecked by hypergamy, online apps, and cultural divides where women lean woke and promiscuous while men turn conservative and religious. It's a raw look at the anger, despair, and institutional distrust facing this generation. 00:00 – Intro00:15 – It Would Super Suck to Be a Young Man Right Now01:38 – Economic Trap: Inflation, Housing, Student Loans04:13 – Distrust in Institutions & Legacy Media05:04 – Generational Power Shift & Hope for Partnership06:16 – The Dating Crisis: Hypergamy & Online Apps08:00 – Invisibility, Promiscuity, and Cultural Damage from Feminism09:11 – Massive Ideological Rift Between Gen Z Men & Women10:09 – Building Common Ground on Corruption & Foreign Influence12:22 – Shared Values: Closed Borders, Free Speech, No Endless Wars13:43 – Call for Unity: Millennials & Gen Z as Allies15:44 – Olive Branch to Gen Z: I See You
