    Of course the incel ‘movement’ is about immaturity and self-loathing. What terrorist movement isn’t? The difference is that when it’s young white men, their pain is considered an excuse, a reason to treat them with kindness and understanding. I think they’v had enough of that.https://twitter.com/slackbladderPB/status/989062339671584769 …

    This 'movement' is bred via frustration, immaturity and inner-self loathing. More focus is needed by society on developing tools and resources for young boys to create healthy ways to mature and grow into adults, and calling out bad behavour.

        What is clear is that people like you are fundamentally incapable of dealing with this problem in a way that would lead to desirable outcomes. Kindness and understanding is usually the most effective tactic in most situations.

        “I think they’ve had enough of that”. Maybe even too much of that.

        "White male" became a slur, which you helped create. Anti-white tweets get hundreds of thousands of RTs. Now you are pretending it's a "privileged" category? Not to mention including Middle Easterners in the "white men" category for convenience makes it completely meaningless.

        Someone on Twitter said white people think mayonnaise is too spicy. If that's not racial discrimination on par with Jim Crow, I don't know what is. Help my fragile white ego

        Spreading and rationalizing hate against an identifiable group is what you both do happily, apparently. Polarization is rising. How many people are going to die this time when this barrel of gunpowder finally explodes, I wonder?

        On a serious note, it's very telling you're so offended by these mild Twitter jibes against a privileged class. Are you also offended by the far more prevelant and violent rhetoric surrounding Muslims?

        Islam is a toxic set of ideas, a design for a dystopian sociopolitical system, not a race. And no, the most "violent" rhetoric consists of calls for deportation, not rape and murder.

        I'm pretty sure they just mean boys need to be enculturated more healthily. I'm not sure what you mean.

        But instead of kindness and understanding, what? A war on angry white men? Compassion aside, I struggle to see that as a path to peace.

        The point is to try to stop young boys circling into this activity in the first place. Much like avoiding extremism in reaching out to communities which are at risk of it. Sure no tolerance with toxic behavour (and it should be called out for what it is).

        Yes please tell me more about the outpouring of empathy and explanations for black criminals. Is that why they get 20% longer sentences for the same crime? Is that it?
