Living in Melbourne almost all of the left wing political movements I’ve seen in my daily life revolve around support for Palestine, womens issues and broadly anti trump/ All cops are bad. The only one of these that directly applies to Australians is women’s issues and none of them directly apply to men.
You know what young men want. They want to buy a fucking house so they can move out. I swear to god all the men I’m friends with primary political concern is the cost of living. Guess what? The liberals in Melbourne are advertising on the housing crisis. If they get in they’ll actually do shit fuck all about it but, when the messaging you are getting is “free Palestine, women’s rights and ACAB” from the left and from the right its “were gonna make it easier to get a house” guess which way the men who can’t afford fucking houses are gonna go

Beyond that, identity politics stopped being just minorities and has become part of white male politics.
