Ague Proof posted:there is help for them but their toxic self-reinforcing communities based on hopelessness will stop them from getting it It's not the hopelessness but the expectation of hope that has been betrayed. Hopelessness is easier to bear if you're not coming from a position of falsely perceived deserved privilege. The tragedy of the aristocratic failson.

By definition we're only ever seeing the hopeless cases.

I could see how the GOP could have been excited by the phenomena of alt right Pepe chuds being the youth movement of conservatism and their pathway into the next generation, around the time of cheeto's election. There's no way this black pill incel poo poo works for anyone at all. These bitter defeated fuckers aren't going to campaign for anyone or even vote, much less donate money or even earn any money TO donate. It goes against their whole ethos, such as it is. Incel-ism is just a formula for nihilism, acts of murder, suicide or terrorism, and just a lot of bad press in general.

I dunno, they're just plain not interesting and are extremely pathetic. I looked at it once and it's just full of people sharing pics of Chads, because the male standard of beauty is so self-evidently impossible to achieve.

business hammocks posted:How much of this poo poo is just bog-standard depression? I don’t have the expertise to tell the difference. I don't think depression is completely the answer, I think a lot of it is feeling entitled to do whatever they want but not getting it so they lash out and claim incelship. Instead of looking inward and addressing what makes them lovely humans they make up insane reasons women wont sleep with them and give them what they deserve.

There’s just something about the distorted all-or-nothing thinking that seems very familiar from depression, just that it’s—as you say—expressed as hopelessness about getting something they feel entitled to rather than feeling like they don’t deserve life or happiness.

business hammocks posted:How much of this poo poo is just bog-standard depression? I don’t have the expertise to tell the difference. The vast majority of diagnosed major depressive disorder is the withdrawal from the world along with loss of interest in daily activities and a loss of volition towards goal-seeking behavior. Psychotic depression is a much rarer type that includes things more akin to the violent fantasies of the incel crowd. RedneckwithGuns has issued a correction as of 20:57 on Apr 29, 2018 |

I don't know. This is the last week of 3 months paternity leave with my 5 month old daughter and I have spent a lot of time thinking of just how hosed masculinity is in our society. I just view incels as the end result of toxic masculinity in our society. I think depression might factor into it a little but at the end of the day its lovely white males who have found an echo chamber online that provides the "real" reasons they wont get laid. And the stacy/labia and all that other poo poo just shows the pure vitriol they have for others. However I will admit I have struggled with depression in the past so my thinking might be biased regarding that.

http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/the-decline-of-western-civilization/57715974fef27c0d7b022cec I've just been doing a rewatch of The Decline of Western Civilization, Penelope Spheeris' documentary about the L.A. punk scene of the late 70s-early 80s. It's a good film and worth a watch IMO even if the bands vary wildly in terms of their actual talent and charisma. If you start from 9:20 and watch the coverage of the pre Henry Rollins version of Black Flag, you'll see them performing "Depression". The song is a nihilistic tune that is completely about blackpill incel poo poo, distilled into about a minute. La plus ca change... But.. at least with the Black Flag members, performing is an outlet. The mosh pit punks have an outlet. They are out, most of them, doing something that is at least a little social. They could make actual meatspace friends going to shows, and possibly even get laid. The social outlet is not always good. Obviously maybe they could meet some fellow Droogs to commit acts of ultraviolence on brown or yellow people or just wallow in incel-ism in meatspace the way the 2018 versions do online. But I can't help but think just the act of getting out of the house gives a much better possibility of good things happening than rotting online. There have been awkward, even toxic, teenage and early 20s males who have trouble connecting with females or other people in general as long as human history. The current online paradigm just makes it easier for it to be reinforced so they can wallow in it.

In a very broad sense it is due to depression, but it's due to the same reasons why all these alt right dudes do what they do. They feel that they have failed in life and are blaming their failures on someone else. It's a large degree of toxic masculinity, but that is more setting the goals they feel they cannot meet rather than the method. Things like inceldom and immigrant panic are the perfect way to find a cause for all the woe in your life that totally absolves you from any fault. It's not that these guys don't recognize that they are garbage people, they just have a total inability to realize that what they are like is at least partially their fault. In that sense it is more due to narcissism than depression, because the latter would have them blaming themselves for everything.

It's a large degree of toxic masculinity, but that is more setting the goals they feel they cannot meet rather than the method. I feel like this hits fairly close to home. An admission of guilt, I've gone through an incel-like phase but I knew why I was a lovely person and why my life was poo poo, and that I was at least partially responsible for it. I could look inward critically, allowing me to focus on self improvement and while it's taken me years I've arrived at a way healthier place; it also makes me wonder sometimes if there aren't some AMABs who get swept into inceldom because they don't know how to process some of their internal thoughts and feelings and they've been programmed to filter everything through toxic masculinity. I also think it's one of those things you can't help with. They are going to be trapped their because they lack any ability to critically assess themselves, and any critique no matter how well intentioned is going to be an attack. It might take them years but anyone who has a healthy future will find it on their own and not a moment sooner, everyone else is a lost cause and the focus should be on addressing the underlying causes, basically capitalism and the warping affect it has interpersonal relationships.

The kind of person who brags about a 180 IQ without a list of actual accomplishments to go with it: you know, like real life Ignatius J. Reillys. To actual incels Chad isn't really the enemy; he's more like a demigod. They idealize him to mythic proportions and then exhaustively pick apart all of the ways in which they fall short of this ideal. It's very much like a kind of cuckolding fetish, only no one actually gets off. The thing about incels is they're not just some online community of lovely edgelords like KiA; they're actually a doomsday cult.

Dreddout posted:It certainly doesn't hurt that the incel community is the platonic ideal of a toxic echo chamber. It's not hard to imagine people who are otherwise capable of reflection being closed off in a community that embraces suicide as a foregone conclusion Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I feel like such a community would naturally filter out anyone who might encounter cognitive dissonance between reality and the group narrative. There are a series of identifiable stages before you become those truly loathsome r/incel fuckers, and better people filter out elsewhere. Not necessarily into being good people, just not into being a sex conspiracy theorist.
