Let me just put this out there: young men should not be looking for good masculine role models among the right-wing online commentariat.

When people say “young men are drawn to Tate because the right has no good masculine role models,” the assumption is that the only role models these young men can find are rightwing podcasters and online influencers. That’s ridiculous. 

Young men get offline. Smash your fucking phone if you have to. If you need a good male role model, find one in your town or city, in your church, in your family or extended family or neighborhood. Read history. Study Catholic European history. 

One of the very LAST place you should expect to find a good masculine role model is in rightwing media. Stop looking there, and look in places closer to home.
