Yep, I'm analogizing the shape Environmentalism was in during the late 2000s(And had BEEN in, since The Late 70s)to the shape The MRM/advocates for "men's issues" more generally find themselves/ourselves in today
In '16, the most prominent figures within The MRM were speaking glowingly of the allegedly "Changing Winds", and the movement was attracting media attention, albeit mostly for their online theatrics and association with jackassery like GamerGate. Since '19 though, these same folks have spent most of their time lamenting so-called Blue Pill Normie society's alleged failure to comprehend their supposed genius
Admittedly, the question in The OP's article is semi-rhetorical. I don't personally believe The MRM, as it exists today, is likely to gain the support of The 80% of America that's amenable to persuasion. Ya know, that 80% who's support ALL activists who wish to secure concrete, tangible gains must win. And that as such, it's wise for us to call time of death on the entire movement, and to start taking a more expansive approach, rather than continuing to pretend that "men's issues" exist separately from the difficulties which are foremost in the minds of most Americans. Talking here subjects like the economy, crime, access to upward mobility, and providing pristine, affordable neighborhoods to live in
The most prominent faces of The MRM(Who also happen to be the stars of The Red Pill)were to "Men's issues" what Andrea Dworkin and her ilk were to The Women's Movement. I say this as someone who agrees with MRAs on many points
