I notice when I read it about the media they write article about everyone in a while, but then forget about for a while. shouldn't it be really concerning lots of young men are going to the far right, and the issues that could come from that years down the line? There is also plenty of places that these men can get radicalized that isn't even technically political like MGTOW, Red Pill, and Incels.

    I'm kind of surprised that I didn't end up being an incel. I was perfectly set up for it: I was a male teenager who played video games, browsed reddit constantly, was not conventionally attractive, was rejected by some girls in high school. I'm pretty sure the only reason I didn't become an incel is that when I tried to browse 4chan for the dank memes, the UI scared me away so I never ended up finding /pol/ or other shite like that.

        For me it was my personal method for trying to break out of my conservative religious upbringing where I assumed everything that didn't line up with what I currently believed was actually correct.

        Luckily fascism has a lot in common with Christian fundamentalism so I ended up just going lib and drinking heavily until my love for unions drove me to being a communist.

      I basically was one, before it had a name, but if it had been a thing back then I def would not be on this website today.
