      So much that is dark and disturbing floats under the surface of the term “involuntary celibate.” I think we have to expect more of thishttps://twitter.com/ArshyMann/status/988818797086871558?s=20 …

      For the past little while, I've been working on a piece about Toronto's relationship to the alt-right, especially the "manosphere." Unfortunately that research has become relevant. I'm going to share as much as I can here for people who may not be familiar with these movements.

      Obviously “incel” presumes that sex & affection are something women owe men, which is extremely dangerous in itself. But the figure of the frustrated, seemingly emasculated, powerless male has been rising in the culture for a while. Fight Club was an early, key manifestation

          I see a few big things happening here: 1. General anxiety of white men & status loss in diversifying society, 2. Perceived failure to compete & conform successfully in a postindustrial economy where women are rapidly pulling away in terms of education and social mobility...

          3. Relatedly, the steady decline of reproduction, parenting, and the patriarchal family as the organizing principles of society across the Western world, particularly in Europe & Russia, but also in North America...

          The frightening and ugly slogan “you will not replace us” contains behind its menace the usual vulnerability of the bully: I’m scared because there’s no place for me, or not the place I thought I would have. And because I’m scared, I’m angry and wanting revenge

          I’m not trying to write a pitying brief for Nazis here, but rather to think about how broad demographic, cultural, economic and indeed technological changes are giving rise to a pathological political culture...

          The old pathways to male self affirmation are seemingly being closed off, as more women eschew marriage and children for other kinds of fulfillment, while only those men who can play the game of higher ed, career advancement & postindustrial labor get to have “the good life”

          The Springsteen narrative of getting a union card and a wedding coat at 19 was already dying when he wrote it in 1978 (as he was well aware); now you have a millennial/postmillenial gen of young men coming of age w/ no apparent path to goals of career, family, even sex

          Again, none of this to rationalize the utterly frightening & abhorrent #incel #altright culture. But it seems to me there are fundamental changes in gender relations and the nature of work in our postindustrial world that are bubbling up in unpredictable ways

          What’s even more frightening is thinking about what this means for places like India & China, where men dramatically outnumber women, as well as demographically collapsing populations in Japan, Russia, most of Europe. Very scary possibilities here

          None of this is necessary though. Nothing is innate about men that makes this inevitable. If we could find ways for everyone to feel included & contributing meaningfully, while breaking down toxic old metrics of what “success” as a man means, you wouldn’t have this violence

          I just found out there's a whole subculture of young men who dress like Tyler Durden. I wish I were joking.
