Discussion Gaslighting is dangerous and pointless

[Highfield78]

Gaslighting incels by telling them that with threapy and better social skills they can ascend is very dangerous.

What happens when this strategy inevitably fails? The dude will become more resentful towards the world. Or subjected to more gaslighting until they eventually realise it's all bullshit.

I'm seeing this happen at the moment with a dude I know online. He's 5 foot 5, balding, poor frame and average looking. He's tried to jestermax, improve his social skills, etc. The result? No matches on Hinge in over 1 month and friend zoned several times. He becomes angrier with each passing day.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but gaslighting certainly is not it.

This is exactly why the mental health industry is a scam, especially when it comes to incels, whose problems are fundamental and societal. It promises a fantasy solution that only leads to more disappointment and bitterness, which insidiously turns into anger and resentment. Alas, they are not searching for an actual solution but rather a way to silence those who deviate from the system. The goal is to gaslight the incel and turn him into a subservient slave, not to fix his problems.

I prefer LED lighting...

But I do have a few gaslights.... (Mostly #1 aviation fuel...) But I do find that its very - I would slso say its too - evaporative. Hence making it less than ideal for lighting.

They did it to me and I regret ever listening to them.
