Prime Minister Keir Starmer claims he’s tackling knife violence by blaming online “radicalization” of young boys. But conservatives say he’s missing the real problem. Starmer wants schools to show a Netflix drama called “Adolescence” that pins blame on internet influencers like Andrew Tate. The show tells the story of a teen killer influenced by toxic online content. While the Prime Minister calls this a solution, critics argue it’s just political theater.
Starmer’s plan ignores the collapse of family values and personal responsibility. The Netflix series pushes the idea that social media turns boys into killers. But real life isn’t a TV script. Boys need strong fathers and moral guidance – not more government programs. The manosphere’s extreme views thrive when traditional structures collapse. Woke policies that attack masculinity as “toxic” leave boys adrift, making Tate’s message appealing.
The “Adolescence” show pretends to have all the answers. It paints a world where every troubled teen is one TikTok video away from becoming a murderer. But parents know better. Raising good men starts at home, not in classroom screenings of Hollywood lectures. When schools push feminist ideology instead of teaching respect, is it any surprise some boys rebel against it?
Banning social media – like Australia did – won’t fix deeper issues. Teenagers will always find ways around government controls. Meanwhile, the real crisis of absent fathers and broken homes gets ignored. Starmer’s focus on tech companies lets failing parents and schools off the hook. Conservatives argue you can’t regulate morality through app restrictions.
The manosphere’s growth reflects society’s failure to celebrate healthy masculinity. Instead of attacking all male energy as “toxic,” we should channel it productively. Boys need role models who combine strength with virtue – not just more warnings about online boogeymen. When we tell boys their natural instincts are wrong, they’ll seek validation elsewhere.
Starmer’s policies continue the left’s war on traditional values. His push for “specialist rape teams” in every police force sounds tough but does nothing to prevent crime. Real prevention starts with rebuilding communities and families. You can’t “awareness campaign” your way out of societal decay. Strong neighborhoods with married parents produce stable kids – not government-funded TV shows.
The Netflix drama’s creators want “radical action.” But their solution – more censorship – would make things worse. Free speech matters, even when ideas are ugly. Silencing Andrew Tate won’t stop boys from seeing through hypocritical feminist narratives. We need honest conversations about male purpose, not scapegoating internet memes.
Conservatives know the answer isn’t bigger government. It’s fathers teaching sons accountability. Churches guiding young men. Schools emphasizing character over politics. Starmer’s trendy blame game won’t stop knife crimes. Only a return to timeless values can fix what’s broken in our boys – and our culture.
