@Space wix Sad story mate, I haven't heard that before
@Baron Doom There are thousands like it, all untold and unrecorded, they stretch back millennia
This was shown in the movie about him but no one seems to connect the dots with his breakdown and that girl
the common thread I see with the men here that red pilled without being burned first, is introversion with relatively high IQ and a very strong sense of self-awareness and usually a personal internal monologe as well
we seem to be able to make the connections no one else sees
and we notice alot in the world
we seem to be a rare breed on our own
as for the others here the extroverts usually share some of the same traits aswell, or were just burned and realized it wasn't worth it
@AVRO Architect That is what I mean by not being detached from reality
@AVRO Architect MGTOW is still an unusual philosophical belief, eg a cult (from that definition from Wikipedia)
I am not a fan of it being called a cult, the definition I go off of is different
@AVRO Architect You prefer the word 'gang' then? Or a syndicate?
@AVRO Architect or do you prefer they/them? And that is funny
Don't compare feminism to syndicates
syndicates have more tact
Syndicates were usually made up of men who worked
honestly we are more like the internet version of a collection of men talking in a semi-public forum, exchanging ideas, experiences, thoughts and just generally conversing. Constantly refining ourselves but generally agreeing on a few core principles in our community
I think he was comparing MGTOW to a syndicate or cult
feminism is pure cult lunacy
Well then, in that case MGTOW isn't a syndicate aswell
@AVRO Architect What is the difference of what you are saying and a cult (except for the detachment from reality)
see my long blerb above
but MGTOW promotes individualism
Syndicates promoted collectivism
syndicates work like the mafia
@CROAT I agree to you clarification
we are not in the buisness of doing stuff for "the family" nor do we have a Don or anything of the sort
in fact we operate more like an ancient greek university than anything else i can think of on short notice
' a cult is a social group with socially deviant or novel beliefs and practices', can you explain how MGTOW does not fit into this definition?
Cult
A group, often times though not always religious or spiritual in nature, that is led by a single or small group of leader(s).
Members are often recruited or by some means persuaded to join, rarely if ever knowing how destructive and harmful a cult can be -- rarely knowing that it IS a cult. Though they usual come off as being generous, caring and in the best interests of their members, cults are inherently based on furthering the desires of cult leaders.
Cult leaders commonly use thought reform or "brainwashing", in conjunction with other methods, to slowly and deliberately reel in more control of said members. In many cases, members may eventually forsake their friends and family (non-members are viewed as "wrong" or "bad") and give up their careers, homes and/or money to the leader.
@AVRO Architect I completely agree with all you say mate, but I am from the village and we call a spade a spade, not a fucking digging tool
This I feel is a better definition of a cult, your definition that you operate off of is too open ended for my taste
too many things can be classified as a cult with it that clearly aren't
@AVRO Architect I got all mine from Wikipedia, feel free to change it if you disagree
for example the " insert nation here" military
Which is also a cult, or if you prefer a 'mafia'
or a gang
having grown up on military bases I can attest that is not the case
For being a gang member I beg to differ
gangs and military is not very different
