The traditional right mostly still yearns for a world that has long since ceased to exist and they just can't let it go.
Like, guys can't just have hobbies like "working on their car" because cars aren't made the way they were when they were younger and are impossibly more complicated and expensive now. Not to mention Obama killing off the used car market and making beaters cost a shit ton to begin with. So your starting investment is much higher, you're much more likely to fail, and you lose a shit ton more when you do.
But that's the kind of "acceptable" hobbies they push instead without realizing why those aren't as appealing anymore.
Traditionalist far right Christian here.
We advocate reading, shooting and learning self sufficiency life skills. Everybody should know how to read and how to cook, women should know how to sew, etc.
But I've never met anyone in my neck of the woods who earnestly advocates fixing cars as an alternative hobby to video games. The few guys I know who don't play video games love board games or cards.
Most of the ones in my neck of the woods advocate cars, farming, and garage shop type activities (wood working or similar) and will loudly declare those the only proper things a man should have as a hobby.
There is probably a large divide here between trad right guys online, and trad right guys out in the world, because most of the aforementioned men I know barely use a computer to spread their message to anyone. These are not philosophers, they don't read beyond the Bible, they are a living stereotype in a lot of ways. But they are very loud in Church and everywhere else in the community about these things.
Nothing against those options, for the record, but if you don't inherit a shit ton of tools or land from your father you aren't getting into them. Speaking as someone currently waiting for his father in law to pass so I can get his bandsaw/lathe in my own garage.
Fair enough, certainly might be a regional thing.
Same. Lol I don't know anyone fixing cars as a hobby.
To tinker with cars as a hobby, one requires property, a garage (particularly one big enough to work in, probably at least two bays so you have somewhere to park your commuter vehicle while your hobby vehicle sits immobile in the second bay), cabinets & walls full of tools, etc.
So right off the bat, these requirements are going to price out most teens & young men unless they live with parents who own these assets, live rurally, have a father that owns a business, etc.
Another problem with living like a bugman in a tiny box in the sky.
