Do you think the concept of "involuntary celibacy" as a special affliction plaguing straight men isn't pathetic or angry?
I didn't say that. They seem to be an unreasonable lot who are very annoyed at women in general, and would respond to "hanging chad" with "good idea!" I just objected to calling them all, or generally, terrorists.

They're too unfocused and vague to be terrorists.

Yet.

They are an at risk group for radicalisation though, largely drawn from exactly the same stock of socially excluded young males that actual terrorist groups like to recruit.

Which is why, in their vague and unfocused way, they sometimes commit atrocities. Because they autoradicalise.

("Incels" aren't actually about sex or relationships, as much as that's the face of the "movement", they're about the social standing attendant on being "successful with girls" among young men.)

I have to admit that the first few times I saw it, I had no idea what "incel" was even referring to. :lol: I almost wondered if it was a typo of Intel.

I have a feeling the regressive left will try to use this as ammunition against the MRM and other related groups, though, just based on their history of doing similar things and their "#NotAll" double standards.

Even if they aren't terrorists, the entire Incel ideology is...well, a conspiracy theory at best, and organized misogyny promising violence at worst.

I thought Incels we're just unsuccessful pick-up artists. Guess I was wrong.

Incels just kind of sound like people who can't get laid and are playing the sour grapes game to me.
