they won’t get the donations for the next campaign, that’s what. all that money will go to their opponent and the companies will probably take out a PAC to run ads against them.

politicians aren’t self-sacrificial noble people either. they are in it for the money and power, and for the huge benefits they will get post-political career by coming lobbyists themselves.

we need more male therapists and teachers. that’s what we need.

we have systematically removed male teachers from the school system due to the pedophilia panic.

alcoholics anonymous and narcotics anonymous

rich men do those things. poor men do not.

so do rich women.

something is always better than nothing. esp if you are starving.

I dealt with the same thing in all my relationships. Nothing got my gfs hotter than when I acted like a complete asshole towards other people. They got off the duality of me being shit to people and the being this ‘sweet man’ to them. And they’d get super jealous and bitter if I was kind towards anyone else other than them. It was Toxic AF. It made me hate myself and made me depressed. To know that i had to be a shithead to get my girlfriends to like me.

I’m so much happier single. I’d rather not get laid then have to be a POS asshole like they wanted me to be. Soooo many people get off on anti-social behaviors. I’m also so glad I never got married or had children with these ladies who have such a horrible Zero Sum way of thinking about the world.

They wanted me to be vulnerable, but only in the sense that I was some heroic figure overcoming the odds. If i said I was sad when my dog died or my dad died, then I was a giant pussy to them.

When shitty people only validate your shitty emotions… well that’s why so many women only date shitty men. Because they are turned off sexually by men who are more complex or behave outside of their per-determiend ‘what a man should be’ image. Especially when you reject them for sex… holy shit. Way to see what a lady really thinks of a men when a man turns her down for sex.

In my many years single now, I do a lot of volunteer work. Giving back here and there w/ kids and adults and community building. I’ve never met or a dated lady who thought it was cool. They all think it’s weird to be kind to strangers and/or I’m secretly homosexual if I do so. If it comes up they always get ‘suspicious’.

.

amen to all this. i really started removing ‘leftists’ people from my life and it was like… so much better because so much of their entity message is just this weird revenge/hate pron against straight white men, and men in general. when ironically, the people they should be angry at are the wealthy… but honestly most of these ‘leftists’ I’ve known were trust fund kids… so that tells you right there why they would never rag on the wealthy…

normal well adjusted people don’t hate anyone or blame anyone for their problems. but for some reason it’s become mainstream A-OK to say horrible awful shit about men that would you get you banned/shitcanned/ostracized if you said ti about anyone else. esp in liberal/left groupthink.

it’s entire the same discourse as neoNazis and all that too… just replace jew/black with white straight men.

i have been assaulted and harassed and faced domestic violence from women. sometimes from same women. sometimes indirectly, by women I rejected who claimed I SA them as a way to ‘get back’ at me. (thankfully they got caught because they did it to other men as well)

it sucks. no one will ever believe you. you have to deal with it alone. but some people will own up to their mistakse. I had some people apologize to me after they harassed by based on false SA claims.

but there are good people out there. they are just hard to find. you will find them. you just gotta remember they exist when you come across that next shitty person who wants to exploit and abuse you.

but also you get better at recognizing the shitty people in your life, and around you. and that lets you give yourself the peace and happiness you deserve.

but also don’t be afraid to tell people. because that will tell you who they are. if you tell someone about your history and they say ‘well what did you to do deserve it?’ you just saved yourself from being with another shitty person.

so are we going to help them, or are we going to wash our hands of them and let the problem fester and grow?

incels need positive reinforcement to loop them out of their cognitive loop. not shame and harassment that further entrenches it.

the easiest way to get someone who is hateful about some group or thing… is to introduce them to it in a positive manner.

i pivot to wealth inequality because the wealthy have all the resources and the rest of us don’t have enough.

that includes access to medical care and mental care. easiest way to get healthcare and therapy is to be rich so you can pay out of pocket and skip the limits/lines imposed by insurance companies.

a lot of people’s mental and health problems would also simple be alleviated by being able to have better food and a better work-life balance, both which are privileges of the wealthy that the less economically fortunate do not have access to.

these are straight facts, but i’m sure you’ll go into denial mode about how the poor and mentally unwell should just become their own therapists or something.

AI might also be giving them better advice than anyone else in their life.

Growing up I certainly had no role models in my entire community. I never found anyone who was remotely helpful until I went to an expensive college that had lots of resources and they were freely accessible to me. Mental, physical, and academic.

A lot of people fail to realize these resources simple do not exist in large swaths of the country/economic bracket. They are mostly concentrated in wealthy and educated areas and given to wealth educated people who live there. If a farmer in Nebraska needs therapy, they will have to drive to multiple hours to Omaha or another urban area to have a decent shot at getting any assistance. Not everyone lives in a major coastal city that have the bulk of these resources.

It’s is effectively self-treatment with more steps.

And for many people it’s better than nothing and likely the best they can do. Waiting lists for a basic therapist in my area are months long. Shorter if you pay out of pocket, but that isn’t affordable to average people because it’s like 300-400 for a one hour session.

incels are people. their problems are legitimate problems.

why society can’t acknowledge this is beyond me. I guess because it’s socially unpalatable.

incels or any extremist thing (terfs, religions extremists, etc) … is a product of the same issues. but people just want those people to ‘go away’ and not address the issues that would actaully make them go away… because that is hard.
