Yeah, back then unattractive men couldn’t even form a community.

  To be sure, it's a ridiculous way to align a community today. Evidence: The ridicule.

    Disenfranchised social groups form support groups to cope.

      The sad thing about this particular disenfranchised social group is the disenfranchisement is re-enforced by the group. Contrast with other support groups that help their members learn how to live a healthy and fulfilling life while coping with or managing whatever disenfranchised them.

        I would not sooner hook up with a gang of Christians than incels. Some of us are just better off with smaller groups aligned by positive interests rather than a sense of collective victimhood.

      @shadowgovt I agree that many communities labled as such engage in self-destructive behavior. It may even be psychologically similar to the mentality of a suicide bomber.

        i'm not sure i would compare a person coached to despair so hard that they would sacrifice their life to a person seduced by their cope club into staying in the cope club.
