like you know you’re a good person at heart but life circumstances and trauma and bullying and etc prevented you from learning the proper social skills to find companionship. not necessarily a forum to actually find friends (i find going into things with that intention feels fake and weird), but rather a forum to commiserate and share advice and coping mechanisms and so on.

loneliness is increasing worldwide, esp in men. and it’s very easy to get into the weeds on this of course…

happy fuckin holidays

    Calling incle sickos “incel sickos” is 100% okay and acceptable. There is no reason to shy away from calling spades spades.

    There is this idea that we need to pussyfoot around calling out hateful groups so what? We don’t offend them?

    No, confront it head on. You encourage that type of behavior if you shy away from confronting it.

    Don’t be so open minded your brain falls out.

      I.e. Karl Popper’s tolerance paradox of being intolerant towards intolerance. Or, in a less confusing way: if someone doesn’t adhere to the mutual rules set by a group of people (read “society”), those rules no longer apply to them.
