If every incel somehow got a girlfriend, the net violence in the world would only go up. Because guys who think like this are violent to their girlfriends. It's not their singleness that's dangerous; it's the way they think about women.

I'm sure calling people sexist, racist, toxic, and so on will help fix their problems. You don't understand their world view so there's no way you can defuse them. For the record and to make it explicitly clear: I am not an incel nor do I believe their ideology is good.

Why I should care about fixing their problems, when they embrace them as an identity? I care about preventing violence from these people, but you can't do that if you're not honest about the problem.
-
Why should you care about fixing any problems? The honest answer to the problem is that they feel or are lonely, atomized, and abandoned.

You thunk the problem is loneliness: it isn't. The problem has always been misogyny (and the entitlement and violence it breeds).

The San people are perhaps the most ancient group of humans current around. There is little doubt that they have a fairly patriarchal culture. Yet, they do not have an incel problem. It a modern problem and its main driving force is loneliness.

Nope, if that was the case, women would be angry pieces of shit as well, and there would be more men of color incels. Loneliness is part of the potion, but what causes loneliness is at least in (big) part misogyny--misogyny in a culture where women will not comply.

Aren't Western women some of the most medicated in the world for depression, anxiety, and other mental illness? It would stand to reason that the San are doing something right and we are doing something wrong. Maybe we could learn something from the San and their kinship groups.

Are Western Woman not also the most likely to have access to the kind of mental health services that are vilified in other cultures and here? Why exactly are you so determined to blame their choices on anything but them making bad choices?
