    You called me a liar because of your lack of reading comprehension. I just thought it was a weird thing to bring up in a case like that.

    He had Asperger and that not an excuse either way but I was wrong about that.
    No, having Asperger's is not an excuse for literal murder. But I'm not sure, given his mental health record, if he can be taken as representative of the "incel community." Which was my initial point.

    He's an "incel terrorist," sure, but I'm not sure any discussion of incels that uses Rodger as a focal point is going to be productive.

    There was no separate legal category for women. They were wards of no one.

    making sex less taboo were all good things.
    Genuinely curious how is this a good thing?

    That's not true that correlation at best otherwise link sources. A lot of things happened between now and the 60 your over simplifying the issue. The problem is income equality, social mobility, and wages. It's a lot hard to do what your parents did and requires a much higher education. Most household need two sources of income now because of drunken spending by the government.

    I called you a liar because you clearly care when someone uses the word racist. You kept dragging it back into the conversation while be trigger by it. If it bothers you that much ignore it next time.

    He embodied everything wrong with most Incels though so he is a good example.

    Sources for what exactly?

    In the sense that he was violent? Sure. But rehabilitation of someone with mental health issues is going to look a lot different than any action that could be taken with otherwise neurotypical individuals who have ended up as incels, or somewhere in that sphere.

    That women entering the work force hurt the US.

    Nah in the sense that he couldn't focus on fixing or pin pointing his own issues and instead tried to project them on to others. He couldn't self critique at all.

    I think people are mad at me, thinking I condone it because I will not name call, or hate the "incels" for it. For the most part, I do not blame them, though responsibility is something they should take on. I look at the culture that is creating these people, instead.

    But changing culture is a fool's errand. Culture changes when people change, and we do not want to do that.
    A single man can easily change the world and that includes culture. Take drawings of the prophet Mohammad. All it took was one man willing to kill and die and since then the entire west has had its back broken on the subject and were scared into silence.

    A single man no matter how base can change the world for the better or worse through his actions. A single construction worker can easily have had a major role in the construction of a dozen building that will last over a century.

    A single man with nothing can pick up a weapon and shatter dozens of lives with it and effecting millions more to a much lesser degree.

    Change will come it always does.

    He clings to tired ass hippies as moral paragons because he is generally full of shit in my opinion. It could be ignorance but it's not, he knows he is spewing nonsense.

    I cannot sympathize with anyone that blames all their problems on somebody else and takes absolutely zero responsibility or action on themselves to do better, try harder, try something different...just WORK at it.

    Incels are generally socially isolated because of their own decisions and actions. They may not choose to be socially isolated, but they do choose to act the way they do which makes them socially isolated. That's on THEM, not society. If you want to live a relatively normal life and have relatively normal social interactions you have to conform to most of the social norms, though some things can be overlooked for several reasons (good looks, lots of money, charisma, talent, etc...).

    And the whole nice guy thing is fucking stupid. I can't find the tweet I first saw it in, but it was phrased really well. Basically, "nice" is not a personality trait, it's not a characteristic, it's not a talent or anything that really means ANYTHING, especially if that's your only claim. it's the bare minimum expectation for how people should interact with others. Being "nice" doesn't mean shit when the rest of you is not noteworthy, or noteworthy for the wrong reasons.

    But if we want to avoid tyranny, the change has to be in each person.
    Humanity in a state that isn't tyranny is a humanity rebelling against its true nature.

    Strength of body, strength of mind, and strength of will are what will always determine the fates of the individual and of society.

    On paper? No. As a culture? Yes, they were. But usually in the more educated, upper scale parts of society where women were seen as "fairer" and more emotional. In the country(rural areas), where farming was still done, both men and women tended to be equal. So this is really an issue with modernity.
    Rural communities weren't really egalitarian, either. That's fine, men and women are different and should have different cultural expectations. Things tend to work better when that's the case.

    Because suppressing sexuality too much has consequences for a culture, and people. Keeping sex private, in the bedroom, etc, is fine, and that would have been the "moderate" approach. I am not talking about being loose sexually. Moderation needs to be practiced with sex... especially with sex.
    Go read literally any single one of J.D. Unwin's works. I'd recommend "Monogamy as a Condition of Social Energy" or "Sex and Culture."

    The single most successful model for social organization is abstinence until (lifelong) marriage. The Hippies helped undo that. We're currently dealing with the consequences. Incels are part of those consequences.

    I'm far more concerned with social consequences. The impact on working people was laid out fairly well, ironically by Elizabeth Warren, in "The Two Income Trap." As far as my actual concern goes, financially liberating husbands was a negative development. I'm really not sure what else can be said on that front.

    Nah in the sense that he couldn't focus on fixing or pin pointing his own issues and instead tried to project them on to others. He couldn't self critique at all.
    He absolutely couldn't, but again, dealing with him, or any other mentally ill individual, is going to be considerably different from dealing with individuals who aren't. I'm not saying every member of the incel community is mentally healthy, they're clearly not, but there's going to be a difference in approach.

    Take conspiracy theorists for example, the out there ones. There are literal schizophrenics running around in conspiracy circles. Rehabilitating them is going to be entirely different than talking sense into someone who's mentally "fine," but somehow believes everything is a false flag. They might both believe in Lizard People, or things of that nature, they might have similar personal faults, but "dealing with them" isn't going to work if we're focusing on the schizophrenics.

    I sense that it could be a topic onto itself so will tentatively agree till that topic arises I have to leave or would pursue it now.

    As on incels in general they lack the will to become anything. That can always change but they need to find it themselves no one can really help them with that past childhood as it requires facing true problems and over coming them.

    I'm honestly surprised people still engage him. He is a broken record that always manages to play the same old shit including Peterson, Paglia and Jung in whatever order fits his disingenuous drivel. It was old years ago; people are just too polite to tell him to finally stfu.

    Peterson is a man selling Christian theology without actually believing in Christ, so to speak. Admirable, but mistaken.

    Again yeah, and between his pivoting and likely being in with the right people who all either agree with his bullshit or turn a blind eye, yes. Nothing ever submitted is NEW, and consequently it's actually lead to a few others doing the same shit, some who get in trouble because they don't use the same pivots, but then they typically come in under some VPN and new name doing essentially the same shit.

    Honestly, for every occasional good take Peterson has, there are 10 bad ones to follow. I'm okay with him helping repopularize Christianity, but I'm beyond tired with the political moderates that have gotten sucked up in his "Classical Liberalism" shtick. CH Sommers is a big offender here, too.

    In short nothing. Except for the fact true Nihilism wouldn't advocate for itself, or any said cause. So it's very hard to be truly nihilistic, and any attempt to suggest otherwise typically comes across as pretentiousness or trying to be edgy as some say.

    Two incomes came because of income equality and wages not keeping up with inflation. Prove to me that women working is bad for the United States.

    That's mostly because it's become popular to try to rename shit like ideas, or terms to try to resell bad or stupid ideas. Some do it as a way of hijacking a new identity, when it's become clear they never really had one in the first place AKA Opportunist.

    Populism

    Britney Speaks fucking sucks, however never mind she sold millions of albums and some of the same people that say she sucks now and only sucked bought a fucking album.

    They didn't suddenly hate the music, they just simply decided based on what everyone else started saying about it.

    It's why Hipsterism is just as laughable on the right as it was on the left. Anyone speaking sincerely about any issue doesn't really give a shit about labels. Well except people who constantly try to redefine labels like "Classic Liberalism"

    Yes, I agree income inequality is part of the problem. If you think I'm a shill for Laissez-Faire capitalism or whatever you've got the wrong person.


    As far as women working being bad, go take a look at Childhood Daycare Outcomes, or like I mentioned earlier, follow the social trends of women being financially independent from their husbands.

    Which is a consequence of income equality and heavy work weeks not but meh women leaving the house. I know single parents are bad, I never argued against that but women entering the work forces being a negative.
