“While millennials tend to be batsh*t insane on their politics, their decision to not participate in life is a very rational response to the conditions they face. Until that gets recognized and addressed, they’re going to continue to wreck every social institution in their path, whether it’s needed or not.”
This article is about males in particular, and for white men in particular, they’ve been shoved to the “back of the bus” for decades now. They don’t wreck social institutions; they’ve been told they have no role at all - so why should they care if your local Elks, Boy Scouts, or churches close? They are attacked by the same people intent on destroying Western Civilization, and are merely witnesses to it. They see what has happened to previous generations, and understand all too clearly what would condemn them to a life of economic misery: Marriage/family, and mortgages (with accompanying property taxes); who can blame them for opting out of both?
I was addressing millennials in general. Your analysis of millennial men in particular is on point. The problem is exacerbated because the institutions you mention have bought into the feminist lies (churches are especially guilty here and they mostly don’t realize it) and men don’t wish to participate. And why would they when those institutions subtly side against them every time.
