    You know a ton of Tate’s followers are children, right? There are a fuckload of societal issues beyond just “loneliness” in play here.

      The meme is explicitly about lonely men falling prey to brainwashing. That’s what we’ve been talking about this whole time.

      If you actually care about diminishing the power of Tate’s ugliness, you would offer something other than more ugliness to those lonely people.

        You are amazingly unspecific about what that something might be. How about something more concrete than generic feel-good platitudes?

          Not ridiculing lonely people for being lonely. That’s literally all I’m suggesting.

          But you go ahead and keep herding lonely people towards Tate or suicide.

          I think making counseling a mandatory part of school for everyone would go a long way to helping prevent this problem. Something to get the kids that are behind socially to be more comfortable socializing. When I was a kid all the incel types were coming out of highschool having had the shit bullied out of them for years and being afraid to socialize with anyone outside their group. Then they get out of school with social skills and at the mercy of wherever they end up(college, job, neet, whatever) if they don’t find someone to include them in shit and rewire them out of that “other people are cruel” mindset they’re fucked.
