@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
There are some similarities, yes
@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
I must insist that they very much are, fundamentally they are different
One is legal the other one is not?
One get training to kill, the other not?
Yes there are differences
a proper modern professional military does not exist to accumulate wealth or power for the members
Do you mean they're the same in the fact they both might shoot someone?
their fundamental purposes are different
Because that's a very flimsy relation
@Whats gay anymore Not really, but in both it happens some times
@AVRO Architect Please elaborate about purpose
the military is supposed to be self sacraficial for the nation and is bound by the laws, rules of engagement, and has a very limited authority
