Most young men live in quiet desperation, is it possible to resolve this?

Perhaps the problem is that all secular thinking is bad, and teaching young men and women to blindly follow is always a bad idea, even with good role models. If you don't learn to think for yourself and contextualize what you see/hear, you've got pretty bad odds at being a good adult.

And that's just a problem on both sides of the aisle. It will probably continue to dominate modern politics, until improving democracy becomes more profitable than making people argue passionately.

Uh huh? Sounds like you’d have no problem with blind following as long as it aligns with your beliefs.

You're just invoking the intolerance paradox. Also, you're logic is not sound. There is no evidence that the second claim came from blindly following beliefs.

What the hell are you even trying to say.

I never once claimed that there’s evidence that “teaching young men and women to blindly follow is always a bad idea” came from blindly following beliefs. That doesn’t even make ducking sense? Are you good? You seem a bit out of it. If you’re going to reply, at least make it comprehensible. Also tolerance was not even in my mind when I wrote that so take your blind copy/paste buzzwords back to Reddit.
