A truly excellent post.https://twitter.com/fakedansavage/status/989253150656860160 …
As someone who reddits, and as such has found about this communities before anyone got killed, feels like he is just getting on with the latest news. Plenty of women incel, even if it obviously skews the other way, plenty of people there that acknowledge their fault

That may be and it's interesting. Does not invalidate his conclusions at all.

I think he is completely messing up some internet subcultures. The chad/stacy/normie whatever memes are way more related to a culture war than to communities of loneliness

It's not about sex, just like it's not about religion with muslims radicalized,it's about meaninglessness, and certainly it's not about sex working having a stygma, all during the piece I get the impression that he thinks sex workers are for losers,

Dan definitely does not think this. But many people do - if you think he does you misread his piece badly. Your other point is interesting, though. Actually I don't think the point you make and his are mutually exclusive. Not at all

Don't know him so maybe I assumed wrong. But as laudable as his campaign in favour of sex work, it's completely missing the target. A hookup isn't meaning and it's even less of an identity.
-
And given how that sounds I feel it needs a clarification. I think, whether or not I like it, that identity at some level is important. In the past we got identity from our jobs, our religion/community and our gender.
-
The changes in the labour market, the welcomed appeareance of feminism and the social changes have changed the way most people create identity. And I think that's making some people and even nations go cray cray

There was a paper by RAND on ISIS very interesting showing how the factor with biggest correlation to terrorism wasn't,poverty, jail, drugs, faith, inmigrant background,but unemployment and gender
