MEDIAWATCH: The Left attempt podcasts to win back men
I got sucked into the women-hating manosphere. Now I help others escape

Research shows 61% of young men in the UK regularly engage with masculinity influencers online. Will Adolphy was one of them. He talks about how he was drawn in, what happened next and why he chose a new path.
Dear men of Aotearoa New Zealand.
Brothers, Comrades, Mates & Fellow Blokes
There is a place for you on the NZ Left!
Now.
I appreciate that some of our more woke fourth-wave-feminist-non-binary-activist-vegan-mummy-blogger-Spinoff-subscribing-militant-cyclist-Trans-Rights Comrades have been a tad alienating (from between about 2016-2020), with their woke social media Lynch mobs but I want to reassure my Brothers, Comrades, Mates & Fellow Blokes that there is a place for them on the NZ Left.
Identity Politic Acolytes followed the holy trinity of woke dogma:
1 – All white men are irredeemable racists
2 – BELIEVE ALL WOMEN that ALL men are rapists
3 – Anyone who supports free speech is a Uniform wearing Nazi who hates the Trans Community.
REMEMBER – there is no wriggle room in any of that, ANYONE who ever jokes about that Holy Trinity must be terminally cancelled!
Pure Temple Politics and the narcissistic social justice minefield of hashtag activism kills the Broadchurch solidarity of class and allows for arseholes like Trump and this terrible right wing Government to get elected.
Not one working family in New Zealand is sitting around the kitchen table cancelling each other for misusing pronouns, they are trying to work out how to pay the bills!
Brothers, Comrades, Mates & Fellow Blokes
There is a place for you on the NZ Left!
Just because you have a penis doesn’t make you toxic!
Don’t feel alienated by the more woke voices of the Left, you should not side with the corporations and the Billionaires and the speculators.
300 000 years of evolution that have gifted you the altruism to protect isn’t a sin!
As a man AND as a citizen, you have an obligation to protect everyone weaker than you, and you should stand against corporate interests, implemented because our anger and alienation have been manipulated by their social media hate algorithms.
Look.
We hate each other thanks to social media.
While we hate each other more than ever before, we are more lonely than we have ever been before.
We are lonelier, more depressed and sicker.
Our loneliness, our depression, our sickness are all fomenting the spin of social media hate algorithms which only further polarise our debate into All Tribe and No Village politics.
I think we are a clever ape who has evolved over 300 000 years. Because we have to compete against other sentient and self conscious clever apes and work with them as groups so our intelligence and ability to use tools could change our environment, we have had to bond and understand each other over hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.
When we meet in person, our bodies and brains and taking in millions of different details subconsciously and we are working each other out through facial cues, pheromones, gait, stance, smiles, eye contact, etc etc etc: we have taken those 300 000 years of evolution and replaced that with flat screen interaction where we lose all that unseen evolutionary advantage and instead become brainwashed and trapped in rabbit holes of demented reality.
Flat screen interaction is warping our human capacity to tell what is true and what isn’t because we don’t have that sense of the person in front of us and all the million ways we asses each other in our evolved brain.
We have become an ocean of spite and resentment in an All Tribe No Village politics distorted by social media hate algorithms because 300 000 years of evolution can’t work in a flat screen interaction loneliness.
We need got fight against this anathematizing of our hopes and aspirations.
Turn that flat screen interaction into a platform where we can challenge this empty intimacy!

The new political podcast, The Bradbury Group starts this month.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
For the Democrats to win back men, they have to genuinely want them back. But they don’t, they just want their votes. Just like they don’t like black people, but need their votes.
The pretense is obvious.
Here’s the problem as I see it, and I think others do as well.
What you call the “left” are so far right, in terms of economic policy, that they have to compensate with bullshit social policy in an attempt to “be kind”.
Until the left change their economic policy to favour work over capital, which removes the need for all their bullshit social policy, voters will see them as a slightly less repulsive, but more insidious, form of the extreme far right we have in power now.
What is kinder? To boil the frog slowly in oil, or to put a bullet through its tiny head.
I’d like posts to start off with Kiwi stuff and then show how USA stuff affects us too not the other way round. The whole of politics has become a mega drama performance to hat titillates (suitable word eh) the punters, us as the passive audience. What we want is to make sure of audience participation in this country,not be looking at the USA all the time. We don’t want to be watching them as the country burns behind us. If we hre want to attract men back to the Left we need to be clever, Tamaki has succeeded in rallying men in one way, but we don’t want the brownshirt reaction – the Left should do better and then demand to take over Labour. Rationale – the present incumbents are losers, out of touch with the voters, and out of touch with their own humanity. They are caught up in the theatrical strutting and peacock side of politics minor stars under the guidance of a clever, calculating entrepreneur plus.
How did the modern conception of masculinity become so constrained and narrow that some men are threatened by women with assertiveness, well-argued opinions and a determination to maintain the sort of financial and physical independence that men take for granted?
What the hell happened? Where did the idea of Renaissance Man disappear to? The archetypal Renaissance Man being Sir Philip Sidney – the international diplomat, acclaimed poet and soldier who died at the battle of Zutphen aged 32 – reputedly from an infected leg wound after he removed his own thigh armour because his men had not been issued with any for the battle.
What happened to the man who has a larg, inclusive spirit, who can do many things, who (as Whitman said) “contains multitudes”?
Now he just sits and whines about something called ‘wokeness’ – a garbage concept invented by a malevolent right-wing propaganda machine. It’s not’ wokeness’ that’s the problem, it’s how contemporary capitalism, the tyranny of money and predatory rent-seeking limits the possibility of young men being anything more than a shadow of what they could be.
Hear, hear my good man! Thanks I think we all need those apposite and interesting facts and thoughts. (This is not a bit, bot or a butt.)
