        Meh, I know everything there is to know about incels. You’ll never, ever, convince me I should be afraid of them.

        Put me in the incel run concentration camp. I’ll put it to the test.

              Yes. And an incel terrorist killed 32 people in my home town. Last week an incel terrorist killed 2 people and injured 6 more at FSU. I’m not saying you have to agree with the video, but give it a try

                Incels are a very specific group of men who feel as though they do not have the ability to attract a member of the opposite sex. It’s not just some term used to put down evey sad disaffected white male.

                Do I believe they are capable of terrorism, yes. Do I think they are dominant force in society, no.

                  Yes. I know. And that’s not the conclusion of the video or what I’m trying to drive us towards. But courting them and weaponizing their frustration with that they can’t perform masculinity in a way that works for society has been done frequently. It’s important to understand the role they play in fascism as we experience an intensified form of fascism from the one we’ve been living under. I’m not asking you to agree with the concept, I’m just asking you not to dismiss it before you’ve considered the totality of the systems of play which you can’t have done in this short of time.
