This is such a good read!! It's so true that just because propaganda has evolved from random men on posters, it doesn't mean it isn't still endemic. It's so important to be clued into it <3
Your observation about the “male loneliness” epidemic was secondary (I think) to your over all critique) but incredibly powerful. Oppression is a deadly political, relational disease which embeds itself in systems and infects the oppressor and brutally harms the oppressed. The statistics are demonstrating how oppressed and oppressor are harmed by systemic sexism and “the male loneliness” epidemic is one such data point. It is the byproduct of oppression and it matters not if you as a male actively participate as an overt sexist or a benefactor of it. There is a price to be paid.
thank you for writing this and highlighting the political aspects of this show, I believe there’s so much to LIUSA especially behind the scenes and this definitely opens up to asking more questions about what’s truly being fed to us, keep on writing !
being the "too woke" friend has gotten me a lot of shunning, but i really appreciate how you've articulated why so many (including myself) feel so offput by the spiral into love island, especially with that Alleged Zio being brought on.

Amazing piece that effectively links political and social phenomena in the contemporary media space!
