    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.

                  Why do you think you’re defending incels? What? No. Fuck incels. FUCK INCELS. They’re terrible and dangerous and we need to realize they’re dangerous and weird and make a society that keeps everyone else safe from them.

                    To me, it’s more about them not being able to reconcile an obvious conflict within themselves. They feel so strongly about what they are is right and just, or maybe just permanent, that they can clearly identify they are incapable in achieving something so important to them they accept the inability as their identity. Even though they accept it, they will not accept any outside assistance in correcting it.
