These teens are getting roped into neo-fascism in absence of Marxist guidance showing them what the “matrix” actually represents. Vulnerable young men are getting told that yes, corporations are oppressing them, and yes, the US government is a puppet of the rich - but the solution being presented to them is to become an exploiter themselves rather than any form of class solidarity or dialectical materialism. I really feel like this “escape the matrix” rhetoric is the kind of thing we can capitalise on instead of just standing idly by as young men have their very real grievances with modern life twisted into something wholly unhealthy
I definitely had some incel tendencies when I was younger. I’m a bit older so that term wasn’t quite used, but I had some similar thoughts. Glad I don’t think like that anymore.
Honestly, a lot of those guys just try way too hard. If you genuinely listen to someone and show them respect, they will probably like you.
But also, no one is entitled to anyone else’s romantic feelings and certainly not their bodies. If someone isn’t interested, just respect that and move on. There are plenty of people, someone will like you (if you have a good personality).
People would be so much happier to just check their egos. It’s genuinely the quickest way to find happiness.
