Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Maybe I went too far say being a good person "unequivocally" won't get you laid, since it could indirectly. Like if it replaces your guilt and shame from being a bad person with confidence, or gets you involved in activism where you meet people, or keeps you out of jail where there are no women

I feel like you don't understand just how much they actively fight good advice.

Like people would come into r/incel go "Hey guys I started showering more and socializing with people and I got laid and I feel way better! There is hope!" and they would be downvoted into oblivion and accused of trolling and whatnot.

Yeah they call it "copes" and anyone who did get laid was never truly an incel to begin with. So yeah ideologically they have specific tools to prevent themselves from being helped

I disagree on that last part, I have friends that I disagree with pretty fundamentaly and we can gently caress with each other about it or just stop talking about it. There non zero is a chance to open up some of their isolation and crack their lovely ideology. I am also comfortable enough with my own beliefs that I won't get pulled more to their side.

that just means you're willing to tolerate their ideology to some extent, that you're willing to treat it as just a "disagreement" that can be put aside and ignored for the sake of maintaining the relationship

I'm kind of lost in the weeds with where this thread has gone, but as far as I can tell most of the disagreement stems from the inability to deliniate "being a good person/productive member of society" from "being a pushover/people-pleaser/bitch". Regardless of where you draw the line between the two, I think we can agree that the former is a net positive, at least mildly helpful when it comes to finding a mate, and rewarding in its own right; while the latter can absolutely be a turn-off and a liability.

Oh I am not suggesting engaging them on their bullshit, just on anything and everything else. Walking away from people if they insist on being offensive is good, but sitting and chatting with people when they are not being offensive even when they believe some hosed poo poo is also good imo.

Yeah people in these situations feed on the attention that they get for their beliefs and fluctuate between martyr and "owning" their opposition. I don't think feeding that is good.

or to put it another way: that thing you're suggesting bad feminists do (and I don't even disagree that some of them are weird and selfish; they're human beings) is the same thing as saying "these guys need to learn empathy"

nah, that's absolutely not what they're saying- you're conflating correlation/causation and taking the relatively uncontroversial proposition that having a well-developed sense of empathy would make you far more likely to embrace some flavor of feminism and suggesting that adhering to a developed ideology will actually fix someone's basic problems in relating to other humans in a healthy way, which is an extremely dubious proposition (ideologies are hardly all equal, but even good doctrine seems to have quite some difficulty creating good men in a moral sense, much less good men in a functional one)



it's also odd that you move "subordination" to a purely relationship context in your previous post

humans are social animals and (if not necessarily sex) they need healthy forms of connection/intimacy, and if someone can't make those connections it's a real problem in their lives they actually need to address directly - it strikes me as extremely wrongheaded to equate the sacrifices and compromises people make in normal/functioning relationships with a decision to embrace a social/political movement that barely cares to give lip-service to your personal needs and has little in the way of actionable advice over working on your problems directly


e: (I suppose I should have weighted in on the related conversation that started after these original posts, but it had only been a couple pages so seemed easier to address the source than people's interpretations of it)

Inside their own specially-cultivated social space, which as you say encourages constant performative reinforcement of its own dominant ideology, of course they won't take contrary advice. But realistically, individual incels can't maintain that ideological outlook in every moment of their lives (especially given that its conclusions tend toward violent suicide), and so in a different context there may be a chance to meaningfully communicate with them. I probably couldn't do it, but I don't fault someone else for trying.

Also please give Rudatron back the floppy sleeves anime avatar after an appropriate period of time has passed, thank you.

They have to persevere their status as victims of a flawed system. In general, any acknowledgement that change is possible by personal perseverance is admitting that you've chosen the situation your in, that it's your fault. They can't face that.
But to say change is impossible leaves them in despair.

I think we should teach boys the fundamentals of healthy relationships and enthusiastic consent in public school because nobody really is and there’s so many bad sources of information that teach men to be straight up rapists and that might do a great deal

I also think capitalism isolates people structurally and with the internet allows them to intake so much toxic information and ideology on a level like never before. we need to rebuild the public space and destroy the mall as well as foster places for people to find healthy relationships

inceldom is a result of structural issues in our society and is utterly illegitimate, but it cannot be destroyed until we start tackling the core of where it originates from: a society and economy that teaches us all but especially men to see everything and everyone as transactions and resources for exploitation

I mean that is how mating works in the animal kingdom.

"female is in heat, males approach, males fight, winning male makes displays to show his good genetics to female, female decides male would give her good babies so lets him gently caress her".

In 1st world countries the "males fight" thing has been taken out, so genetic markers are what females use to determine who to gently caress.
