I've seen many community figureheads who have been part of this forum (Most notably Jack Peterson in 2017) describe incels as a "coping movement". I find this description pathetic and self defeating in that it undermines our potential as a force for social change which we very much possess, albeit in nascent form, at present.
It is factual that the Incel movement mostly functions as a coping space for disaffected men, but we ought not ignore our potential to evolve into a subcultural force akin to the LGBT movement of the 80s in terms of structure (lifestyle-based) and goal (social transformation). In my estimation, we lack 3 crucial traits towards achieving that end: Leadership, ideological foundation and vision.
Leadership: We need leaders to fixate the efforts of the community towards tangible goals
Ideological foundation: We need a cohesive, [UWSL]self-consistent [/UWSL]theoretical grounding not unlike Intersectionalism.
Vision: We need a commonly agreed upon roadmap with commonly agreed upon aims.
I cannot offer leadership, and we already possess an ideological foundation (though it certainly requires further development and greater coherence, it is still lacking), but I'd like to proposition a vision of praxis that I deem capable of achieving social outcomes desirable to most of us: INCEL-ORIENTED DUAL ACCELERATIONISM
Fundamental Thesis:
By Accelerating the forces of hypergamy and removing coping mechanisms that keep incels docile (pornography, prostitution) while simultaneously propping up institutions that propose an alternative acceptable to the incel cause (hence dual), the post sexual revolution mating arrangement will collapse and be replaced by an incel-endorsed model.
Praxis:
1: Encourage social forces that heighten hypergamous conduct and Incentivize young normies who might have a chance in the dating market to adopt the incel lifestyle by spreading fear and uncertainty with regard to women, dating and sex itself. The aim is to increase the overall number of incels in the male population by any means necessary.
2: Remove coping mechanisms that keep incels docile, namely prostitution and pornography. Back sex-negative feminist movements against prostitution/onlyfans and encourage measures that make pornography less accessible (Laws that require special permits for online access to porn such as the one proposed in the UK). The aim is to create a dedicated, radicalized vanguard without any outlet to quell their impetus for radical social change (Very similar to the Mazdaki movement of Sassanid Persia: The clerical nobility monopolized most of the female population in gigantic harems, leaving peasants with scraps. The peasantry had no outlets to cope with their sexual deprivation and lived lives of suffering, so they formed a religious movement centered around the idea of sexual redistribution and turned against imperial authority)
3: Prop up Christian institutions in an expression of extrinsic religiosity, extrinsic religiosity being defined as: "Extrinsic Religious Orientation is a method of using religion to achieve non-religious goals, essentially viewing religion as a means to an end. It is used by people who go to religious gatherings and claim certain religious ideologies to establish or maintain social networks while minimally adhering to the teachings of the religion. People high in extrinsic religious orientation are more likely to conform to social norms and demands rather than what the religion requires, and are often prone to twist religious beliefs to serve their own political goals." Christendom offers a social model desirable to incels that can replace hypergamous polygyny post-accelerationist collapse if strengthened accordingly.
