Why Today’s Young Men Feel They Have No Place in the West | Nick Freitas

Young men have been under attack by popular culture for the last 20 years, argues Nick Freitas, a former Green Beret and Virginia state legislator. They have been told that masculinity is toxic, the future is female, that they are responsible for the world’s problems, and that they no longer have a place, he says.
Despite this onslaught, Freitas shares a hopeful message for young men of today: “God has created men for a particular purpose. We are supposed to be strong. We are supposed to be capable. Why? So we can honor God, protect our families, and protect our civilization.”
Freitas recently wrote a book entitled “The Manbook: A Point-by-Point Guide to Sucking It Up and Getting the Job Done,” where he shares hard-won lessons on how to be a good man despite resistance, or outright attacks, from popular culture.
In this episode, Freitas reveals why a whole generation of men are flocking to radical ideologies—and how to prevent it.
Perhaps surprisingly, Freitas puts the onus on men of older generations. He argues that young men desire good role models and guidance. Older men, therefore, must live the kind of lives that young men would want to model.
“The best argument you make is not just the one that you articulate through your words,” Freitas argues, “it’s the one that you articulate through what you do in your own life.”
