It's hard to come at this with a "we need to do what the right does, but leftistly" mindset because fundamentally what the right and left offer are incompatible things. JP and co say to young men who are being hurt by the system, "you deserve to be treated like a king and here's a list of boogeymen to blame for why you're not", while Hasan and co say "everyone deserves to be treated equally and here's a sometimes complex and unfulfilling explanation for the problems you're having". Young men who have an expectation of privilege are not going to be especially convinced by the person telling them that they shouldn't have it, which is why men tend to cling to these kinds of reactionary sentiments.
