There are definitely people on the left who revel in pushing narratives generalizing about white men as though they're all villains. Those people are the equivalents of people on the right who push narratives generalizing about minorities as though they're all villains. In both cases their views are harmful and destructive, and in neither case are those views correct or representative of everyone on their side of the spectrum.

But, you're falling into the same trap of generalizing about a group from a minority of them with idiotic views. The last 15 years of social media and algos that promote the extremes have made that way too easy to do, for everybody. Moderate takes don't pull views. Still, it's wrong.

The binaries aren't real. It's not like the choices are either hate all white men or become a Nazi.

Also, not all men play combat or team sports. Lots of men's lives are full with other activities that Nazis aren't targeting. The Nazis just target these sports because they've always been spaces that are pretty permissive for the worst sides of bro culture to emerge. Regardless, real bros don't let bros go Nazi.

I applied to a couple remote jobs in Canada and was baffled when I go to the end of every single one, they had this questionnaire asking if you are everything except straight white male. Yeah Canada ya'll gotta fix the systemic racism and sexism and create true equality otherwise just look a bit further south to see your future. Radicalizing individuals and saying that your "society is equal, just some are more equal than others" is a joke that's been played out in history many times over, spoiler alert it never ends well.

Since ya'll elected a corporate bankster on the same level as a Blackrock CEO, I'll hit you with this one: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.” - Benito Mussolini

The people who believe in binaries are very real and everywhere. I live in Boston and I encounter it in person regular. You can't go to a party here without someone white rich people bitching about how rich white people are all awful and they aren't one of them... and these people are always raging hypocrites if you confront them.
