I think some of them imagine themselves to be the protagonist of the world and will be elevated to the dictator’s best friend at some point. I’m basing this off having talked to an Iranian monarchist.

I agree, but I’d take it a step further and say the ultra rich are even worse than parasites. Parasites serve a purpose to the stability of their ecosystems. Billionaires just consume.

Are they the same person?

Imagine thinking being a Biden fanboy is being antifascist at this point lmao

That’s partly what my novel is about. I’d list it, but I’ve changed my writing style to make it more accessible, and I plan to make a 2nd edition soon that hopefully my relatives can read. English isn’t their first language.

Realizing angels and God are evil is what made me come to the conclusion it’s all a lie and leave Islam.

You need to find your niche when it comes to writing. For example I write mythological science fantasy, and I can count on one hand the number of books I’ve come across that fit that specific genre. You might not be able to write as well as someone else in general, but you can write what you write about better than anyone else.

America has democracy??

I mean, misinformation has been a problem for as long as humans have existed. The overabundance of information and misinformation is new, but not their existence.

Okay

And? That doesn’t contradict my perspective of him at all. There are plenty of reasons to retire beside what you’re inferring.

While there can be some healthy trends in these online communities, we should look at it from other angles as well. How does it compare to just getting therapy? Does growing some emotional intelligence turn men into incel terrorists the way a blackpill site might? How do these communities loom from the outside?

Let’s assume that the toxic males among MGTOW are just a loud minority. Why would you still want to hang out there? There’s plenty of supportive spaces, both online, and IRL that don’t include men who call women trash. Tolerance of intolerance and all that.

If MGTOW stuck to the goal stated in their name, I’d have been happy to stay with them. But even the most reasonable men I found who identified as MGTOW often had sexist tendencies.

Yes. My excuse is that I moved to Canada from Iran where men and women are segregated, but when I wanted to learn about women and their experiences I made the mistake of going to men to hear about them… as if women can’t speak.

What? When has MatPat EVER put his craft ahead of fame and money? I haven’t watched in forever, but I recall him churning out content almost as if he were an LLM.

maybe MGTOW has a valid point or three to consider.

No. Just no. Don’t even consider it. Broken clock being right twice a day.

I went down that pipeline simply because on the surface it presents itself as something to help men gain independence from relationships, but the hate and vitriol there and the rest of the manosphere is more misandrist and misogynist than anything this random woman can ever do.

I find it interesting that even then they slip up. Not Christian but ex Muslim, and even if I had stuck to learning only what Iranians mullahs and the nationalized education system wanted me to learn, I would still think Wtf is this BS?! And just that did happen.

Religious nut jobs and authoritarians have their sense of morality so twisted they see some of the fucked up parts of their beliefs as normal for others as well.

Well, if they were capable of empathy they probably wouldn’t be in that position.

I haven’t watched the show, but I believe the characters in it are stupid crazy rich.

Whoopsie, someone fell for misinformation. Did you seriously believe what a politician (Biden) said?

It’s when democracy. And communism is when government does stuff. /s

That’s how slavery in America was first abolished, right? Well, nvm that it wasn’t really considering the prison industrial complex.
