But the manosphere is much more present in the lives of young men than anything in the past due to the internet. I'm into fitness and I had to work really hard to train the social media algorithm to not show me Andrew Tate garbage. And that was without following any of them and following lots of inclusive fitness people. These guys aren't taking the lack of jobs or women willing to date them as a sign they need to change. So far they seem to be reinforcing that it's the fault of immigrants and women.
