Thank you! And for real, you can't throw a rock at a Nazi party without hitting an MRA or PUA. Here's pickup artist Roosh V on Red Ice TV (actually a YouTube channel, lol) last night.pic.twitter.com/Sna30eVyQv

The frustrated entitlement of MRAs, PUAs, and incels is a *very* fertile recruitment ground for fascists. And that anger toward women is so well-represented in the alt-right, it's a little much for the old timers.

As Matthew Lyons puts it in "Insurgent Supremacists" (PM Press, April 2018) "they [the alt-right] also promoted a misogyny so extreme that even many neonazis criticized it."

It's a really weird case of "talk to your son, before someone else does"... all over again.

This is 100% true! A lot of the dudes in these umbrella orgs aren't necessarily white nationalists, but they're also not opposed to that idea. But they are deeply entitled, alienated, and convinced that it's someone else's fault-- "SJWs," "PC culture," "the Jews," etc.

Essentially, this is how the alt-right was able to build so quickly. By convincing other groups-- MRAs, incels, etc.-- that they, too, were victims of the same forces "persecuting" cis white men.
