PhG = Phenomenology of the Spirit/Phänomenologie des Geistes
This nigger presupposes that incels lack a self-consciousness because we don't recognize ourselves in women and that this thus servers as the basis to explain our disdain for women. For Hegel, self-consciousness means being aware that another person is aware of himself. So you're only self-conscious when you see yourself through the eyes of someone else. In a way, becoming self-conscious is a task. In the video he euphemizes this insinuation (incels not being self-conscious) as incels not being able to develop themselves as a person or whatever.
In his shitty video, he tries to bring forth an explanation of Hegel's extremely abstract phenomenology of the spirit through which he "analyses" the incel psyche. Incels are presented as brutes with the desire to fully express and impose a will constituting of not being interfered or controlled(complete freedom) but women act as an obstacle to satisfying this will because they refuse us due to our low SMV(Looks/Money/Status). In order for incels to exercise their will, they must brutalize women and assert themselves as their master analogous to Hegel's master/slave dialectic and this demands absolute submission from the woman. According to Hegel this creates a contradiction because the woman's(substitute for the slave in Hegel's master/slave dialectic) absolute submission means an acknowledgement(or recognition) towards the master and this is completely undesirable for the master because this sort of relation will lead to the master's dependence on the slave in the long term which goes against his will, so in order to realize actual freedom the master needs to recognize the slave. The slave who is in fact on a path to liberation by deriving satisfaction from labor and understanding of his world while the master becomes evermore useless so the situation kind of reverses at the end with the master ending up as a loser who was in fact the loser from the very beginning.
So the solution is mutual recognition for if either wish to be as free as possible. Only then have you achieved self-consciousness.
Of course, you can just say you disagree with Hegel and the whole video's moot because it only targets those who go along with Hegel's philosophy.
However, I see women as soulless creatures who's metaphysical reality rivals that of plants and animals incapable of self-realisation or manipulating one's surrounding world through means of creativity and ingenuity to echo Otto Weininger, which renders the last stage of the master's total dependence on the slave impossible. I believe Hegel thought of women as moronic, illogical and uncreative creatures as well so this whole master/slave dialectic can only apply to men.
But this critique of mine is only minor and I may be even wrong or have misunderstood some aspects because I've given Hegel's PhG only a quick glance. Here's someone on 4chan's /lit/ who articulates himself better than I ever could on calling him out for the pseudo-intellectual who panders to other brainlets who desperately wank to anything that pushes their narrative how it's always completely the fault of incels.
