mgtow always kinda confuses me, like 10-15 years ago i sort of knew this guy who was telling me about his “men going their own way” group, and it sounded like a bunch of 40yo+ divorced dudes deciding not to get back in the dating game but to go on a bunch of camping trips and shit instead. im sure there was a lot of dudes rocking and bitter shit-talking about their ex-wives at these camping trips, but even still it didnt sound like the unhealthiest coping mechanism in the world i guess? this guy seemed pretty put together and never said any weird shit about women to me, and he didnt seem like an online kinda guy at all
was there actually a somewhat-less-awful real-life movement this current online shitshow morphed out of? or was it always this bad?
Yeah I believe it started off as a sort of “make your own happiness” kind of vibe and then redpill reactionaries got involved and mutated it
Yes that’s how every Subreddit evolves
“kidsAreFuckingStupid” started as kind of a delightful series of small kids being stupid in surprising and funny ways. Like a fun demonstration of brain development.
Now you still have some of that, but a lot of it is
A) People scraping the bottom of the barrel, which is unsurprising
B) A picture of a literal baby hitting a balloon on a string, kinda flailing around or whatever, with a title like “Look at this stupid goddamn piece of shit”
I do distinctly remember a non shitty part of thew MGOTW movement, an old college friend was part of a group of divorced dudes who make 70K+ a year and the encourage eachothers shitty hobbies like working on cars or building bars in their basements
yeah that sounds much more like what this dude was talking about, glad he maybe wasnt a shithead, and i hope he didnt fall down the rabbithole
A few years back, a retired work buddy of my dad’s came over to visit us to get away from caring for his bedridden wife for a few days. He casually started quoting a bunch of “race statistics” during a movie we were passively watching (no one asked), and he later tried to tell me I should read/listed to JBP. This was a few months after I had found chapo and had listened to The Dark Professor and I straight up laughed in his face, like really hard. I think I made him pretty mad. Can’t believe that fuckin loser got into the MGTOW / JBP stuff lol, he had been a family friend for like 3 decades. What a waste.
