In theory.. But in practice, when men are trying to acquire more resources for other marginalised men e.g shelters for male victims of domestic abuse, who is lobbying against them? Feminists.

I don't understand why you are getting downvoted. What you are saying is basic economics and I guess people in here are too ideologically invested to accept it. The claim that governments foster healthy competition when their effect is the exact opposite is ridiculous.

How is an IRS agent a regulator? IRS are just enforcers of regulation.

Regulators don't care about stopping it, they only care about lining up their pockets. You have a corrupt agent and then you expect another corrupt agent to do you justice.

Immoral and unacceptable according to whom and which value framework?

The author is just trying to shoehorn his political ideology into a completely irrelevant topic to score social points with his friends and pat himself on the back. There is no need trying to find anything of substance here. He is hearing hoofs, and imagining zebras instead of horses.

Feminism is about women's rights. Whenever men rights groups(or egalitarian groups for the matter) fight for men's rights - like increased domestic abuse shelters, parental rights, custody rights etc. - they find feminists lobbying in the opposition.

I agree that women have historically gotten the shorter end of the stick in this area. But that's hardly classified under suffering - especially in an era where the barrier of entry for women in everything they feel marginalised in has been lowered artificially to accommodate them.

That's not true though. There have been countless of instances where perfectly reasonable positions have been branded by leftists as 'Fascist' in order to justify themselves in initiating aggression - unprovoked. Then they perform Olympic level metal gymnastics to justify themselves on how they are not at fault but the other side's fault for 'spreading hate'. People are starting to see through authoritarians like those and have increasingly stop falling for that bullshit.

That's not true. The strongest leftist movement in the Western world now is Progressivism, which is statist and not libertarian at all.

Let's not forget that the Progressives lauded Hitler and his eugenics program in the 30s shall we.

They care about the poor and vulnerable as long as they support their power grabs. Otherwise they send them to the Gulags or execute them - and the excuse is always the same "It's for your own good".

Isn't it very convenient though when you brand anything to the right of Marx as 'Fascist' so that you can silence those viewpoints by any means necessary? Even using violence?

Ok, the author has to decide. Is this a product of progressivism (he admits that the city has been left leaning for decades, a symbol of globalism) or is it a product of late capitalism? Progressivism is at odds with Capitalism, you can't have both, except if he means the Chinese version of 'Capitalism'.
