I think it's valuable -- but how do you put the numbers in context? This forumice is basically driven by 30-40 posters. So, I can see a subreddit become a monster with a 1000 people. But that's not even a drop in the general population bucket.

R/incel had 40,000 members before it was shut down

The Red Pill which is, like I said, an improvement strategy for incel types or those who are trending towards that life style, has...wait for it...262,000 members

Not including facebook groups,4chan, and other social media where these people congregate.

And it's not like kids are getting better at dating and relationships. If anything, with social media, kids are getting much worse at it.

Real Social Skills Are Diminishing

One of the biggest reasons why social networks are causing loneliness in teens is because real social skills are going out the window. Teens today are not equipped with learning how to make new friends due to the digital age of social networks.

There is also the issue of maintaining the friendships, which often times is just done through social networks as opposed to hanging out. The lack of real personal interaction with these friends is leading to feelings of isolation.

Being Ignored is Now Amplified

Another part of social networks is the ability to reply to messages, texts, and other forms of online communication with a blink of an eye. This ability to instantly communicate and talk back is leading to teens knowing pretty quickly when they are being ignored, especially since Messenger allows you to see if your message has been read or not. The teens feel insulted, lonely, depressed, and even anxious when they realize they are being given essentially the “silent treatment” by a so-called friend online.

Study Finds Mental Health Connection

While we are still trying to figure out the whole impact of social networks on teens, a study has come out showing some alarming information. The University of Houston released results of a study it did, which showed how long and how often people spent on social media affected their mental health. This was a study on Facebook and it showed that people compare themselves with others. This social comparison creates feelings of envy, loneliness, and depression. The feelings of loneliness often come from people posting only happy and positive things in life, such as parties and hanging out with friends or going on vacation.

Social Media Brings Negative Thoughts

While not all of social media has a negative vibe, there are many websites devoted to feelings of depression, loneliness, and isolation. Tumblr for example, is a place where teens can go to reinforce negative thoughts and feelings. These social media platforms tend to push teens into only interacting with like-minded people. The interactions of only like-minded people can significantly impact feeling lonely and isolated because teens are not engaging with different viewpoints or different thoughts or feelings. Teens that are not looking to enhance their world view will find themselves feeling isolated like no one hears them or can help them with their problems.

as an opiate for them sure. But the root of the problem is their inability to talk to/be successful with women (and then the hatred they develop in their echo chamber as they seek out each other for solace/socializing, etc)

If anything it will make the problem worse as it's a more effective and alluring a tool to use to temporarily forget that they're not out ****ing.

It is, re reading what you quoted I see that I may not have been entire clear.

It's a personal improvement strategy for those who are currently unsuccessful with women. The goal is to yeah, over come being incel (or trending in that direction) and carve out your own piece of territory in the "sexual market place."
 
Ok. my point is I'm not scared of the RP crowd. They haven't given up on getting laid, and thus have ruled out mass murder

Serious question... why do you take time out of your life for this?

I guess my ignorance shows at times but i honestly can't be bothered to waste time on clowns like that.

Even though the people that Mindz (and others) reply to on these topics are too ignorant to bother with, I often learn stuff. I'd like to think there might be a few more reasonable people reading that get something out of it. Maybe they change their views on something.
 
I am .... learning new stuff here all the time.
And reading the replies and coversations from the posters on this site give a different perspective, which is good.
But being from an older generation it is hard to understand the perspectives and reasoning of these youngsters.
I just inherited a young granddaughter, she is 3, and i am doing everyrhing i possibly can to be able to understand her future needs and perceptions. You guys and your insight help very much.
I still think there is nothing wrong with bouncing a ball off a wall or doing chores to fill your time, but my god has it become complicated out there for the youth.
Beforr any of you become worried about my little rant earlier having my granddaughter, i may not be perfect but i think i am the best shes got and i love her.
So keep up the great work because what you post here will be regurgitated and passed down to her lol.
Thanks again all.

No. But in his mind he probably got even with the society that crapped all over him. Every person he killed will no longer get laid, no longer reject him, no longer get the girl instead of him.

He is the one in control of their lives, and he is choosing to take it away from them. For once, he gets to negatively effect them and their families instead of them crapping on him and others like him.

That's as powerful as 72 virgins in heaven in his twisted mind.

Also, he planned to die doing this, this was his last hurrah, and other than death, he wouldn't need to face the consequences of his actions.

Stupid though, if he had a decent sized kitchen knife and charged the officer, the officer would have shot him.

Not really directed at you but I decided I should add in.

Of course we do not actually know his motives.

Even if this is legit it might mean nothing or it might be only part of the issue.
