How the multiplication of needs and of the means (of their satisfaction) breeds the absence of needs and of means is demonstrated by the self-improover who represents his redpilled creed as follows:
(1) By reducing the incel’s need to the barest and most miserable level of physical subsistence, and by reducing his activity to the most abstract mechanical movement; thus he says: Man has no other need either of activity or of enjoyment. For he declares that this life, too, is human life and existence.
(2) By counting the most meager form of life (existence) as the standard, indeed, as the general standard – general because it is applicable to the mass of men. He turns the incel into an insensible being lacking all needs, just as he changes his activity into a pure abstraction from all activity. To him, therefore, every entitlement of the incel seems to be reprehensible, and everything that goes beyond the most abstract need – be it in the realm of passive enjoyment, or a manifestation of activity – seems to him an entitlement. Red pill, this science of malleable social hierarchy, is therefore simultaneously the science of renunciation, of want, of saving and it actually reaches the point where it spares man the need of either relationships or slumber parties. This science of marvelous transformation is simultaneously the science of asceticism, and its true ideal is the ascetic but extortionate miser and the ascetic but productive slave. Its moral ideal is the incel wagecuck who takes part of his wages to the gym or the PUA, and it has even found ready-made a servile art which embodies this pet idea: it has been presented, bathed in sentimentality, on the stage. Thus red pill – despite its worldly and voluptuous appearance – is a true moral science, the most moral of all the sciences. Self-renunciation, the renunciation of life and of all human needs, is its principal thesis. The less you consoom tendies, drink Sproke and watch anime; the less you go to the movie theater, the café, the Brony conventions; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you invest into yourself – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your masculinity. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, i.e., the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being. Everything which the self-improover takes from you in life and in humanity, he replaces for you in muscle and in masculinity; and all the things which you cannot do, your willpower can do. The incel may only have enough for him to want to live, and may only want to live in order to have that.
