I'm with you. I spent 2 years on active duty with USAF during the Korean War and learned a hell of a lot about my fellow Americans that served me well all my life since. It is what is lacking in current day youth whose outside cultural experience is confined to TikTok and other social media.

The most common theme I've seen with young men, as a 28 year old woman, is that they see everything as zero-sum, as you said in the article. Knowing young, successful, pro-MAGA men, I have seen that they still want more than they have, and they're difficult to satisfy. I think the rise of social media/influencer culture and dating apps has generally made it harder for people to be content. Pro-MAGA young men think they deserve more than they have earned and blame DEI taking away what is rightly theirs, even if they never had anything in the first place. There's an absolute loser mentality and scarcity mindset that has become normalized by the right.
