Why incels take the “Blackpill”—and why we should care
A growing number of incels are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training). That should concern us all.

Don’t worry, there will always be Irish people to assure those who are stupid that they are, indeed, stupid!

@arstechnica some of these guys have mental issues. But I think the majority are byproducts of the "all men bad" mentality. Being told that your mere existence is offensive. Id wager a lot of them never had any positive male role models either.

@Terminhell @arstechnica I could believe this if the group saying this had any sort of meaningful power but look who's running the politics, who's running FTSE 100 or S&P 500 , who's running the film industry.

@tomtom @arstechnica film industry is still mostly leftist. They're still pushing this.
But it's more than that. And no, I don't think wall Street has much direct involvement with this. These guys have a sense of nothing to lose. That's the tipping point to being dangerous.

@Terminhell @arstechnica I don't say these guys are not close to the ' nothing to lose' kind. But saying that this is related to die hard feminism of the 'all men are bad' kind is a bloody. for one, die hard feminism is very minor and has as such little influenc .but more importantly, these guys feel sorry for themselves because some boys are accepted and have a girlfriend and not them. So it's not die hard feminist they hate, what they hate is actually women who like men but not them.

@arstechnica Internet really did ruin Society. Turns out that connecting morons, bigots and idiots was not a good idea after all...

@arstechnica Ever notice how every time you turn around, someone on the internet wants you to be concerned and worried about something?

@arstechnica

☝️ It is important that mainstream articles like this are explaining the "manosphere" in detail to the general public. It is not until the full scope of this destructive phenomenon is well understood that society can marshall the collective will to really confront it. Parents, for instance, need to know more about these twisted ideas so they can guide their children to reject them. Not saying it's easy, but knowledge is the first step.

@arstechnica Somebody is enabling them, likely family members. If I was NEET, I’d be on the streets.

Put them out in the TL or ESO for 24 hours and see how quickly they run to get a job, find training, or an educational program.
