So I'm assuming your theory is basically that whoever organized the hit was aware that their son is a deranged methhead and is thus easy to frame.

I'd argue that no, it's actually not pretty clear, and I also don't believe that the material condition of the average young man factually improved in the past couple of decades.

I think you know that surveys don't mean a thing in this context, at least not in the way you imagine. The current feminized world is all that 20-25 year old men - or their fathers, for that matter - have ever known and most of them cannot imagine any other, they don't grok what it'd mean. Either way, you as a woman(?) are probably also affected by the apex fallacy, which is why you'd probably be surprised by many of the answers to that survey.

The "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" narrative is of civic nationalist, conservative / Red Tribe origin and presupposes a society that is at least neutral but definitely not hostile towards white men on an identitarian basis, is based on meritocracy and promotes masculine virtues. I guess this is what the OP is referring to.

a lot of movies are produced outside of LA and California
Isn't that just a simple case of corporate outsourcing?

From Wikipedia:
Hawley studied history at Stanford University, where his mother was an alumna. He graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree with highest honors and Phi Beta Kappa membership.
From the viewpoint of white liberals, I guess this means he was evidently supposed to become one of them.

It should be mentioned here that, for one, the Galician minority in Ukraine is culturally closer to the Poles than to the Russians.

Except that GWB wasn't campaigning as an interventionist and a neocon in 2000, he was doing the opposite.
At a societal level, though, this sort of discrimination is both counterproductive and wrong.
This article reinforces one of the theses I encountered on Red Pill sites. Namely: if you elevate the relative social status of young hetero single men, it’ll incentivize them to pair-bond, marry and have children. Thus the marriage rate and the birthrate will grow, the average age of both men and women at first marriage will drop, and men will become more economically productive on average. This is what happened in the US after WW2, for example. If you do the opposite, you’ll get the opposite of all of this, which is what we’ve been seeing throughout the West for decades.

“What troubles me is that a lot of thriving white millennial men have had to follow the Josh Hawley path, where you have to leave liberal America,” an old friend, the father of two biracial children, told me. “I don't want to do that. Liberal America is my home. But if everyone says, this is not the place for you, what are you supposed to do?”
Can anyone clarify this part please? I don't know who that Hawley guy is, and according to Wikipedia, he was never a liberal.

Whatever arguments you want to make about the improvement in material conditions for young men over the past couple decades
Which are mostly BS anyway, if we want to be honest.

They always said that they "wanted to start a national conversation about diversity."
This is a completely BS term just like the one about needing to start a "conversation about race [i.e. blackness]". What is promoted is not conversation but exhortation and secular evangelisation.

Indeed. He claims that them merely making use of new opportunities available to them is their only role in this whole thing, which is clearly not the case.

I remember when this sentiment was prevailing.I think it was mostly based on the recent memory of Gorbachev and Yeltsin, both of whom were willing to surrender (in effect) territories in exchange for (in effect) bribes. It was probably tempting to believe that some new version of them will step up and carry out a successful palace coup. People were also forgetting that an armed force that stumbles and bumbles may later actually learn and adapt. There was also wishful thinking that the Ukrainians will receive and learn to master Western wonder weapons that will sweep the orcs away.

The whole reason "Some of my best friends are black" became a boomer-cringe punchline is that it was actually true for a lot of people! They did have black friends, and yet they also had racist opinions about blacks in general.
Why the past tense?

One predictable perpetrator of this was Jimmy Kimmel during the manufactured outrage around the death of Cecil the Lion.
Hold up. Both the girls and the rioters in question were college students. How is that a case of sexual predation? I doubt rape was their intent.
Also, early Nazi and fascist groups usually formed among veterans of the world war; in other words, all of them were men and most of them were young. To state that they were disproportionately gay isn’t exactly saying much.

Well, in one case a woman simply surrenders to her prejudices and instincts. In the other case, an illegal immigrant would have to transform into an entirely different human through sweat and tears.

There was also a rather banal and evident factor at play. In the old days the average young woman was either pregnant or caring for small children. Both situations render her vulnerable and dependent. For the man that is her provider, this makes Game unnecessary and for other men it makes it ineffective. Game is basically a modern response to female infertility.
Whatever we're slipping into will definitely be worse than the Days of Rage. The great majority of leftist terrorist acts in that period were nonlethal and symbolic bombings and abductions; this will definitely not be the case this time. Also the Days of Rage took place in a country that was much more homogenous ethnically and religiously, where civic nationalism was a much bigger social factor than today.
