https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-incels-are-a-real-and-present-threat-for-canadians.96089/post-17336875

CBC's Fifth Estate had a piece about incels last night. The Lone Wolf
They talked with one of them who made a music video that praised Alek Minassian, the Toronto van mass murderer. The reporter apparently talked with the guy for 3 hours and got him to change his views about the toxic social media he was frequenting. He deleted his music video and is no longer part of that incel scene.

Just talking to these guys and getting them away from that toxic atmosphere makes a difference. Shutting down these terrible social media sites should be a priority.

Just waiting for one of the usual suspects to show up and call this guy a liar because discussion and empathy never solves anything, the only solution is hatred and condemnation

[benjipwns]

Yet again:

It´s basically a mishmash of two core problems, a lot of lonely people and a lot of toxic garbage online that leads to radicalization.

First step should be deplatforming. Crack down on these incel sites and forums. There is no reason why any of those should exist. If there is less exposure to this kind of ideology there will be less people affected.

Second step is to help people that have problems and mental health issues. There needs to be a far bigger focus on metal health in general.

Step one: validate all their wacko theories and eliminate the few support systems they do have.

Step two: get everyone better mental health help.

[PogiJones]

that's true. But I am not talking about who his character was based on, but moreso who he was targeting. You gotta be crazy to think that if the Colbert Show was still running it wouldn't be mocking the Trump administration nonstop.

Who said otherwise?

 

Pogi did

 

I even said in my first post he was lampooning conservatives. What I agreed with Benji about was the shift in primary purpose. He mocked conservatives with the primary purpose to channel his funny. Now he mocks conservatives and dresses it with some limited humor for the primary purpose of mocking conservatives. IMO, humor was first and foremost on Colbert Report, even though the right was always the target. Now politics seems to be first and foremost.

Rich people don't have to worry about money whereas a college grad making low six-figures still has to budget, save, finance cars etc. etc.

Oh fuck off with this shit.  Yeah, trying to survive on minimum wage sucks, but I was able to do fine for myself once I got some real experience and was able to get jobs around $12/hour, which is a little under $25K a year.  Of course, I didn't have the latest iPhone, all the new games, was eating within a budget and cooking at home, living in a small apartment, etc. If you're not an idiot and don't run up huge high interest credit card payments, $100K a year is more than enough to live well outside of inflated places like Manhattan.

They don't want to change shit, they just want carte blanche to act like a cunt to people online while pretending they're fighting the good fight, not just being an obnoxious miserable shit like they wanted to be anyway.

Eras dirty little secret is that they couldn't be fucking happier Trump got the presidency, it gives them a daily dose of fauxtrage.

It's probably in part because wages have stagnated. 100k isn't going to get you what it did 20-30 years ago

I like the locations deflections though... maybe the fact that you live in a decent house in San Fran in the first place, is a sign you're rich?

Yeah I was just talking about this with some people the other day

Income taxes vary by state just like living expenses, often in the same way, more costly in richer areas

You're making almost $10,000 a month but maybe paying 2-4000 a month for rent

Then someone in the midwest makes $3000 a month but maybe pays 5-700 a month for rent, similar ratio

But you're both paying the same $300 for that sweet, sweet Nintendo Switch

No, they're wrong, it has nothing to do with wages stagnating. Inflation is a separate unrelated mechanism. I won't even get into the things not available for purchase 30 years ago.

Alright, I thought your "what" was in response to "100k isn't going to get you what it did 20-30 years ago". And that's a true statement. You're right that wages stagnating is a different thing.

From the socialism thread

It’s getting obvious that we’re being stamped out one-by-one. The dream goal for ERA’s administration is trying to make an HQ for centre-left types that wouldn’t dare think of criticizing the bourgeoise liberalism that got us into this political hell.

Shit, even GAF wasn’t afraid to push back on neolib bullshit when Bernie was running.

Besides the fact that this is probably true, I think it's mega ironic that the historical development of this thread has ended in paranoia about account assassinations, as well as advice to never enter a room without a friend

Thread skews ultra-leftist / libsoc, so I guess it's ironic that they ended up like groups to their right, but you probably didn't mean ironic that way.

I like how Steam was shoved into a catch-all PC gaming thread, but now Epic Games Store has its own dedicated thread.

Also, I laughed quite a bit at this post from the Steam free key generation thread:

Not only does Steam not let you use their servers and all of the benefits of Steam for 100% free without listing your game on Steam, Gabe doesn't even come to your house and perform weekly fellatio. Frankly, it's unjustified.

Politics are tribal. Other candidates are a threat to the tribe. It's not confusing at all-- especially when Bernie was very populist.

I don't think it's possible to project harder than this. jfc
