1. "conservatives i've spoken to" <--- not an argument lol
2. it's nigh-impossible to formulate revolutionary strategy through bottom-up acquisition of the means of production via worker co-operatives; if only because they fail to take decisive hold of the large fundamental economic infrastructure which remains in the hands of the bourgeois state or bourgeoisie proper.

1. Ofcourse it's an argument if you're actually doing something other than arguing on the internet. How do you think Politics works mate? I'm actually fairly involved in discussing shit with the local tory party and know several members, I attended their meeting on environmentalism by invitation to discuss different perspectives with them and so on. I've been to more Tory social events than Labour ones by this point purely as a result of my local party being full of wokeists and blairites. They actively want me to join. Their opinions on these issues is obviously relevant because at the end of the day we're talking about convincing a room full of 5 or 10 or so (because attendence is just that dismal) people that market socialism is a good shout and compatible with Toryism and they should badger their MP to do it.
2. It would aid in increasing consciousness.

1. when talking of society at large we cannot take your (alleged) experiences in the party meetings you (allegedly) went to which do not necessarily represent the opinions of all conservatives in the country
2. expound

This shit right here, where you infantilise men and act like they're being corrupted and harmed by the lack of "traditional" masculine role models on TV? That's toxic masculinty in action. And it's fucking disgusting that the self-described MRA is going to reduce men to base urges like that.

Some trad cons (and sit coms) do infantilize men, just as feminism infantilizes women and seeks to give them equal rights without equal responsibility.

Not sure where feminists are shirking equal responsibility.
Insisting that they "are the table" while demanding that men still pay the full dating tab is among examples. Also, when she cheats, it's his fault, but when he cheats, it's also his fault. Can't take responsibility or accountability. Men can be objectified, but women can't. Men can be body shamed. Women can't. Men can be slut-shamed. Women can't. Women get lighter prison sentences on average. Women can have dating standards, but men can't. Jokes about men being raped are kosher with pop culture. Jokes about women provoke performative outrage, of course. The list goes on. Female tyrants in history are excused, but male tyrants are different that way. If Hitler was a woman, they would shout "slay, queen" in approval of the Second World War and everything. Deadbeat moms are ignored, while many dads are labeled deadbeats when they can't pay the unrealistic demands of the court. And are denied access to their children in the meantime. Social media censor's men's groups, but not women's. Male-only spaces are considered sexist, but not female-only.
The list is inexhaustible. Rules for thee, not for me. Feminists want equal rights, but not equal duties. They want supremacy, often framed as "equity," not equality.

The Notorious Mad Jack wrote:It does say something about Nick Fletcher's argument though when his examples are Ghostbusters, James Bond, Doctor Who, Luke Skywalker and The Equaliser are his cultural examples for this - outside of Luke Skywalker (and Luke and Rey are two entirely different characters so he was stretching a fucking ton here), none of these characters or properties are ones that engage young people - who are way more likely to cite YouTubers and other influencers as role models to themselves.
The Equaliser is especially laughable. Is the 2021 reboot of the 2014 reboot problematic as it deprives young boys of a role model but the 2014 reboot of the 1980s tv series not problematic despite it depriving young white boys of a role model by changing the character from a white male to a black one? If not, why not?
