Incel is just a pejorative that makes them get even more blackpilled. Use "emotionally unstable" or even "constitutionally weak", because if they knew the real issue, they'd be more predisposed to actually fixing themselves so that they can also get laid.

Also, legalize sex work. Just get them laid. Watch the alt right and fascism crash harder than a drunk driver speeding at night.

Pretty fucked up to think that sex workers should be subjected to a bunch of misogynists.

There’s a disconnect with capitalism and culture. Getting laid isn’t going to fix that.

We need a new Judo craze in America.

What happens when you do Judo?

You become confident, and typically very humble. You also get fit AF.

What happens to guys who are confident, humble, and fit AF? They are viewed positively by women.

It’s hard work but very fun. You do need decent health insurance though because it’s easy to get injured. The younger you are when you begin, the easier it is.

You can do BJJ instead but that’s way more expensive and not always so humble.

Oh yeah confidence by physical appearance, the best kind of confidence... Let's hook up him in modern society, maybe we should teach him that there exist plastic surgery too...

Confidence and being humble starts when you accept yourself aa you are and you value that. The hyper fixation of the current state of society of creating gym bros is the opposite.

The only thing about judo is the Zen part, that most of the centers don't teach. Because they are hyper fixated on creating gym bros.

Someone that bases his confidences on what he does is not confidence. Confidence is a self appreciation and it does not depend on what you do.

Society is fucked up if the tip for helping young boy to be confident is to send them all to do martial arts. And I'm especially talking about western martial arts that deviate so much from the original meaning that they have in China or Japan.

Lol, there's already an obsession with martial arts in America. I don't think having more people with Joe Rogan brain running around is going to help anyone.

I thought school was for basic education, not getting ready for the labor market.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (7 children)

The point of school is to churn out workers. The government didn't throw money into education because it felt generous.

Sorry to burst your bubble. We're all just pawns for the capitalists.

That hasn't been the case... Ever I think. We're still trapped in the industrial revolution's education system - create laborers - but with a lot of extraneous bullshit tacked on in an attempt to mesh it's obsolescence with modernity and labor-saving tech. It's always been about controlling the workers.

i wish i would go back to those days where i never heard of incels

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 week ago

That's just ignoring the problem though. We agree there's a huge society level problem here right?
