Dec. 6 is the anniversary of Marc Lépine’s misogynistic assault on École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. On that day, Mr. Lépine entered a classroom armed with a semi-automatic rifle. He asked all the men to leave and then opened fire. He murdered 14 women and wounded another 14 people before taking his own life.

The day before the anniversary, Mr. Rochefort posted an altered photo depicting Mr. Lépine with an assault rifle in front of a group of women, telling his readers that Dec. 6 “should be a day when we remember the first counterattack against the femin*zis’ war on men.” In August, 2022, he was convicted of inciting hatred toward women.

Some incidents of incel violence have started to be treated as acts of terrorism, and the Canadian governemtn IIRC has recently considered treating the incel “movement” as a domestic terrorism threat.

The uncontrolled growth of the incel movement is terrible, but also really indicative of how irreparably fucked the social fabric of most capitalist countries has gotten.

i’ve noticed any time any event risks uniting a majority of the population behind something (epstein, COVID, and likely the labor unrest that’s coming) there is immediately a massive injection of funds to some fake grassroots/psyop to split everyone into two camps. the media then does it’s thing to reinforce this. for example it was a strange first 2 weeks when COVID went public and everyone i knew was totally down for a centrally planned semi war economy and were ready to build community and worker solidarity. there was a tiny spark of collectivism.

then BAM it all became red/blue politics as soon as the “vaccine/COVID skepticism” movement sprung from reactionary cesspits.

also right and left everyone thought Epstein did not kill himself and wanted to bust it all down and see how far the pedophile network extended into the elite bourgeois.
so an op injected into reactionary cesspits responds with Q-anon which has now merged with earlier reaction to become the current “groomer” shit

if a big economy freezing strike happens the strikers will be clearly labeled as democrats or republicans. We will get chuds doing a mass shooting against a picket line. no national guard required.

they think they can control this beast as it grows increasingly feral.

Strange to think that they, Qanon, and 4chan will probably be in history books.

But yeah people pivot to extremist ideologies (both right and left) as society around them collapses. We are living in 1920’s Germany and Italy rn. The only silver lining is that as much as fascism is growing popular in the US, so too is leftism, to certain extents. People always leave out that the growth of Nazism and fascism was in large part a reaction to the growth of communism and trade unionism.

But nowadays the growth of Nazism is a reaction to the failures of their own making

In all honesty the bullying is probably a huge part of the incel pipeline. Despite how much dating dynamics have changed, it’s still generally expected of the male to take the initiative and show no weakness or vulnerability. People still get mocked for shit like being a virgin or opening up about having difficulty dating, which is fucked up. Add to that the fact that there’s very few social support structures for men around dating and its not surprising that some men who are mocked fall into the PUA to Incel pipeline.

huh, it’s almost like bullying people and making them feel more isolated and alienated isn’t actually effective.

Not if their whole shtick is that they’re alienated and isolated in the first place.

Bullying works on fash because fash relies on a projection of strength.

Bullying works on libs because libs rely on a projection of competence.

Bullying does not work on incels because incels rely on a sense of victimization which bullying perpetuates.
