    Prior to starting this nanoessay, I mention one of my reasons for writing it. I explore the theme of Conservative Revolution's effect on men in a fictional drama which includes a 2036 presidential match between DTJ and AOC. Even though the events set in the Future are fictional, below I discuss real Societal patterns observed so far.

    Inevitability of Conservative Revolution


    One pattern I have noticed is the following. "Feminism's greatest weakness is reliance on censorship of opposing views in order to succeed. Feminism's greatest strength is the power to impose such censorship." Men in Western World do suffer a lot of discrimination, yet most people are unaware. Men are discriminated in divorce and family courts. Male offenders are much more likely to be convicted on the same evidence and get 63% longer penalty for the same crime. Men accused of Sexual Misconduct are presumed guilty. Male victims of Domestic Violence are treated like criminals. It is not uncommon for a nonviolent man who is severely injured by a violent female partner to be treated as the Primary Aggressor. As such, he has to attend abusers classes and write a letter of apology to his attacker. Had these facts been presented to the Mainstream Media audience, most men and most decent women would have been outraged. Without awareness of these issues, most women and even men view men as Privileged Oppressors.

    Many Feminists claim that Feminism stands for Gender Equality, thus any WrongThinker who criticizes Feminism opposes Equality. I will not debate this point. If you truly believe that Feminism stands for Gender Equality then you will not oppose addressing men's issues. If you are a man who believes that Feminism stands for Gender Equality, then it is your legal right and your moral duty to help male victims of abuse and discrimination. Yes your.

    Cultural War between Liberals and Conservatives involves much more then Gender Issues. Typically these issues account for less then 2% of all discussion. The conflict between Liberals and Conservatives is dominated by discussion of Nationalism, Immigration, Taxes, Weapons, Corruption Scandals, etc. Looking at totally different issues, one may observe a pattern very similar to the one existing in Gender Issues. "Liberalism's greatest weakness is reliance on censorship of opposing views in order to succeed. Liberalism's greatest strength is the power to impose such censorship." For a long time, the Mainstream Media was shared between Strong Liberals who control ABC, BBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC and Very Mild Conservatives who control Fox News. During that time no Strong Conservative candidate would have been able to gain any popularity. Independent Social Media with complete Freedom of Speech appeared along with the Internet. By 2016, the effect of Strong Conservatives on Media Consumers was sufficient to elect President Trump. Even though the consumption of such media was at most 1% of the consumption of Liberal Media, the effect was overwhelming.

    Free Social Media would have ensured continued shift of Popular Sympathy toward Conservatives. It would have assured President Trump's victory in 2020 and a victory of a more Conservative candidate in 2024. As expected, Liberals expand Tens of Billions of dollars to silence all Strong Conservative voices on Social Media. By Spring 2019, they are about 70% done, but they are likely to impose total censorship by Summer 2020 -- in time for presidential campaign. WrongThinkers are not only banned by all Social Media but also denied access to many banks, fund raising sites, and commercial avenues. On a short time scale, imposition of censorship is Liberals' victory. Return of Liberal Hegemony is likely to result in Far-Left presidents, House and Senate.

    Over longer times, a system based on Censorship and Repression is doomed to fail. No such system has ever succeeded, and no such system can succeed. Censorship in Information Age would be more difficult then ever before. In the age when 32 GB of data can be stored on a tiny chip worth $12 or a USB worth $5, and 1.5 GB of data can be sent in a Skype file, censoring WrongThink is impossible. Liberals are likely to prevent Strong Conservatives from educating (red-pilling) the public by 2024, but they will not prevent Strong Conservatives from educating (red-pilling) the public by 2036.

    A Conservative Revolution will begin with a significant majority of people realizing that Liberally Controlled Media is not trustworthy and gaining access to media where Strong Conservative voices are not silenced. In 2019 already, more then half Republican believe that the Mainstream Media is the Enemy of the People. The demand for alternative Free Media will guarantee the success of producers. The next step will be election of Presidents who are on the Right of President Trump. An example from Brazil is President Bolsonaro.

    Effects on Men

    Conservative Revolution will have a significant effect on men. Even though most of the effect will be positive, there will be also neutral and negative aspects.

    First and main effect of Conservative Revolution would be Freedom of Speech for all WrongThinkers. Of course most Conservatives do not agree with Men's Human Rights Advocates' agenda. Many Strong Conservatives believe that both Feminism and MRA are ``decadent". Fortunately, almost all Conservatives are strong supporters of Freedom of Speech for all -- including those they consider ``decadent" or wrong. Conservatives provide platform and defend Freedom for a very diverse range of opinions. Among hundreds of WrongThink views which are banned by Liberals and given a platform by Conservatives are Men's Human Rights Advocacy and several branches of Feminism proscribed by Mainstream Feminism. Some of these branches are extremely hostile to men, but Freedom is Freedom.

    Freedom of Speech would be a great improvement over the status quo. Under Liberal Hegemony, men are not free to voice their grievances with regards to discrimination and undeserved hate men experience. Any man who complains about gender-based discrimination is likely to be fired and blacklisted. He who is not at liberty to express his grievances is not a free person. Political Correctness is more then a form of Censorship -- it is a form of Tyranny and Slavery. Even though a Conservative Society would severely discriminate against men in some areas mentioned below, the fact that everyone including men would have Freedom to voice their grievances would be a great improvement vastly offsetting all problems.

    Second positive effect of Conservative Revolution would be an improvement in the public image of men. First, very few Strong Conservatives view men as a class of Privileged Oppressors. Second, men's newly gained Freedom of Speech would enable them to defend their Collective Reputation. An improved image of men would greatly improve men's relationships with women.

    Third positive effect of Conservative Revolution would be the return of Presumption of Innocence in cases of Sexual Misconduct. So far Democrats have supported Presumption of Guilt for men accused of Sexual Misconduct, while Republicans have defended Presumption of Innocence. Obama Administration implemented Presumption of Guilt for male college students. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos returned Presumption of Innocence to male students. President Trump was the first American President in several decades to publicly denounce Presumption of Guilt. He mentioned that it is a dangerous time to be a man.

    Some effects of Conservative Revolution on men will be negative. First, Conservatives strongly support the Second Amendment regardless of it's cost in human lives. In USA 1999-2015, there have been 198,760 gun homicides and 313,600 gun suicides. About 88% of those killed are men. I am not trying to diminish the tragedy of the women whose lives were lost to suicide -- each one life loss is a great tragedy.

    Second, most Conservatives oppose the Welfare State. Men who make up 75% of homeless people will suffer disproportionately. In 2016, 64,000 Americans died from drug overdose including 35,000 Americans who died from opioids. About 70% of them are male. Lack of free psychological help will increase these horrible numbers. The vast majority of people doing dangerous and dirty jobs are men. They accept such jobs out of poverty and desperation. A Welfare State would force companies to improve safety and raise wages for everyone doing such jobs. Unfortunately, Conservative Revolution is a move further away from Welfare State.

    Third, some Conservatives support tough Criminal Justice System. Unlike the system envisioned by Progressives, there is no gender-specific Presumption of Guilt for men, but men do suffer disproportionately. An example of a modern Ultra-Conservative president is Rodrigo Duterte. He leads a ruthless War on Drugs in Philippines. Prisons operate at about 900% of their capacity. About 5,500 people have been executed without a trial. At least 92% of those imprisoned and 96% of those killed are men.

    Brogressivism

    To conclude, the Conservative Revolution would be a great step forward for men. Unfortunately, this step would be short of Equality and it would still leave many men and some women in bad situations.

    The newly gained Freedom of Expression would enable men to work toward the new goal. That goal is a form of Progressivism which neither discriminates against men, not views them as Privileged Oppressors, nor silences them. Some people call this Brogressivism.

    A historical example of a Brogressive Society is Scandinavia in 1980s and 1990s. In 2019, men are discriminated against in Scandinavia, but not nearly as much as in USA.

    In short:

    Many Liberals view men as Privileged Oppressors, support discrimination against men, and engage in hate speech against men. That is wrong.

    Many Conservatives are harsh on everyone -- they support guns which are used in murder and suicide, they oppose Welfare which hurts poor people. That is also wrong.

    Many liberals view white men as privileged perhaps but they do not support discrimination against men and do not engage in hate speech against men. Sounds like right wing talking points
