Incels gave up on being “manly enough”. Their whole schtick is that its “un-fair” that “only the manliest men get laid”, and that they believe they deserve sex just for being born with a dick.

I’m not saying all the “red-pill”/“sigma-pill”/“incel” groups/narratives don’t feed into eachother, but you’ve gotta realize these people are already in the minority. It’s not their influence keeping the subsidies going, it’s the public’s wallets keeping demand just high-enough to “justify” the subsidies, and the fact that the subsidies are backed by decades of established law.

There is no point trying to reason with the die-hards that will keep on consuming long after increased prices drive the rest of us away from beef consumption. The subsidies that keep their bull-shit lifestyles affordable and convenient should be the focus of our efforts.

Let them waste more money on being single and lonely. Their pocket-books will shout at them louder and more convincingly than the rest of us ever could.

Minority or not, they are in politics and gaining power everywhere the right wing is surging and tbey are the same people in favour of all those subsidies. That said, i agree tbat the rest of the general public needs to change their consumption habits to make a real difference. I still think it’s worth pointing out the manly beef eating misogynist connection though, especially in advertising and its pernicious effects on society.

Right, that’s why Kamala is ahead in the polls. You are confusing escalating rhetoric and the volume of such for the number of people that believe that garbage. They are spamming their gibberish everywhere because they know they won’t win the election if enough people turn out to vote…

… but sure, go on pretending Andrew Tate represents the average American man. If you keep it up, you can scare enough women and young voters away from the polls to make a difference, and won’t that be just a joy for any of us with an ounce of sense to deal with?

The idea that Republicans/conservatives are surging in numbers/influence/popularity is itself a MAGA talking point. The numbers do NOT bear it out.

How would that scare those who don’t support him away from the polls? I would have thought it would be an incentive to vote? Assuming most women and young people do not support Andrew Tate.
