Intro.
On numerous occasions I have outlined the social apparatus underlying the so-called 'rape claims' made up by women. A while ago I made a thread indicating how rape stories imply a sexual desirability and thus function as a status symbol amongst women. [1] Here, I would like to complement that theory with an altogether different one.
Thesis.
This theory relies on Kaczynski's Industrial Society and Its Future (aka the Unabomber Manifesto). If you haven't read it: in brief, the décadence of the Industrial Revolution means that mankind is provided for all his primal needs (food, water, shelter), which takes away our existential desire to work hard for our survival; to fill in this nihilist void, we indulge ourselves in many surrogate activities.
I claim now that many people take this a step further, from surrogate activities to surrogate threats. By this I mean that people create for themselves certain threats which they must then fight to ensure their survival, thus fulfilling the desire to fight for our existence. Curiously, people have a tendency to collaborate on this illusion, which both affirms and strengthens the threat. There are many examples of surrogate threats [2]:
Conclusion.
What lesson can we learn from this? Frankly speaking, none in particular come to my mind, but I like to think that it underlines yet again the importance of the Ted-pill. Industrial society has been a disaster for mankind in so many ways that it outright isn't worth the benefits that it brings. We have to go back to our roots.

[2] The extent to which surrogate threats are based on reality is debatable but irrelevant for present purposes.

- Climate change. "If I don't reduce my carbon footprint, then I will die in five years." [You can replace 'I' by 'we', in line with aforementioned collaboration.]
- Politics. "If Trump becomes President of the United States, then I will die in four years."
- Racism and right-wing extremism. "I might get killed by a racist."
- Homophobia and transphobia. "I might get killed by a homophobe."
- The coronavirus. "If I don't wear my mask, the coronavirus will kill me."
- Rape culture. "I might get killed by an incel."
