EP 231: 'Enough White Guys Already': Jacob Savage on a Lost Generation
About this episode
The popularity of identity politics, and the subsequent fallout from this ideology, is something that we’ve tried to unpack and understand on the Lean Out podcast. Our guest on the program this week has published a viral essay on the impacts of this moment on Millennial white men. He argues that an entire generation was shut out of certain professions and found themselves in a society that was “deliberately rooting against” them.
Jacob Savage is an American writer. His latest essay, for Compact Magazine, is The Lost Generation.
