    Wealth inequality is the cause of almost every single economic and social issue in existence.

    If young men had the money to have agency in their lives they would be living life instead of living with their parents to save money while seeking validation through internet fascists.

    If school wasn’t desigend to be a day care service for Capitalists our children would be properly socialized with the different sexes/genders before getting the chance to grow up into incels.

      I call it economic infantilization.

      Back in 1960 US minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00 A brand new car was around $2,500.00 A teenager could move out of the house and be self supporting and grade school kid could work hard and pay for a car on their 18th birthday.

      It’s hard to feel like an independent adult when you can’t afford anything.

        I cry bullshit. Incels aren’t that way because of money. Generation X ate out of dumpsters and did what they could to survive. Not saying younger generations have it easy, but you can be broke and not be a misogynist. From what I understand, sex offenders created the incel movement to normalize their bullshit. Trump and all of those rapists want a world where they can be evil with no consequences. They are working hard towards that end. They need an army of like minded degenerate perverts to achieve this. The algorithms promote this sort of insecure male content on YouTube and other media. Most of those influenders make money trafficking women for sex. This is a new thing. 30 years ago, people were moving away from sexism, and racism. Now, everyone is a protégé of the sociopath billionaires and misogynist tech bro oligarchs. People need to realize this isn’t a natural movement, it’s a synthetic one. Fuck incels! Not literally, of course.

          what ? my liberal friend, you’ve been in an echo chamber since birth. welcome to the real world. sun down towns never stopped existing. the glass ceiling never shattered. dropping racist slurs in the company of white friends never went out of fashion.

          you are just too poor to know anyone who isn’t performatively liberal

            Back 30 years ago, there were spheres outside the old boys club and celebrity racket. Naturally, much was done to destroy that. If people had the option to interact with people who aren’t psychpaths, racists and assholes, they choose that option.

            Conservative Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, and Conservative Ronald Reagan put Sandra O’Connor on the supreme court over more qualified candidates because he wanted a woman on the bench. People were pushing the GOP to make Colin Powell the 1996 and 2000 candidate [he didn’t because his wife was afraid he’d be assassinated]

          the Nazis and other fascists used hyper masculinity to appeal to young men’s lack of agency in post WW1 Europe

          It’s kind of a perfect storm.

          Fifty years ago, Alvin Toffler wrote a book called ‘Future Shock.’ He knew that there would be people who couldn’t/wouldn’t adapt themselves to the coming change from the Industrial era to the Digital Age. We’ve got people using the most advanced tech to push the stupidest ideas.

        Okay lets do the litmus test:

        What do you think of Israel?

        What do you think of the C.E.O.'s who encourage policies that deny warranted health care?

        Did the URSS create famines? (I’m leaving this one in here because it’s a hilarious typo and you deserve to understand how silly you look)

          You don’t know what URSS is?

          Even if I had made a mistake, you just look like a sore loser festering about il lol.
