Shorter thread. I guess.
When a new patch comes out in a (video) game, players learn to adapt to the new meta or become irrelevant. Exceptional individuals can, for a time, keep playing the way they prefer but sooner or later they are outcompeted by people who are both good and have adapted to the new state of the game.
Modernity seems to me to revolve around battles of group interests. Women vs Men, Natives vs Immigrants, Whites vs Blacks, trans' rights vs women's rights, Dems vs Republicans and so on. Wokeness itself is an agglomeration of groups of general underperformers and "victims".
Data shows pretty clearly that more politically right-leaning people are more individualistic. I suspect people on here are even further above that already elevated baseline, at least most of you.
To get here you also need to be disagreeable enough to reject the popular explanations for inceldom and consider some quite offensive ideas about female sexuality. So the people here are very individualistic and disagreeable, would be my bet.
In addition, on sites like these there's probably also a collection of varying mental illnesses, even if you were to exclude neuroatypcials from the mentally ill.
I believe you can see this all in how much wrangling there is over meaningless differences in the local status hierachy of inceldom. Who is a real truecel? Who has it the worst, someone extremly short or extremly ugly or of the least desired ethnicity? Instead of being able to compromise and unite behind some shared, realisable goal incles just come together to vent, sometimes against women or bluepilled normies or against each other.
Which is fine and all. It just shouldn't stand in the way of actually organizing around common interests. Or torpedo any sense of unity, leading to splintering into smaller and smaller subfactions which are all to tiny to achieve anything on their own.
I can think of multiple smaller projects that could and should be done to help other incels. I'm in part making this post to put some pressure on myself to get working on those and put something tangible out there. In general though I'm wondering what has lead to this state of affairs, this general mood of petty internal conflict? Has everything attempted prior just not worked out? Have the people for whom it worked out all left, leaving only the most defeated ones behind to still be here? The only plans to do anything that seem to be still around are unrealistic enough as to be a safe fantasy to cope with that can't actually be put into action.
