So could one say incels are a result of overpopulation?
- giantg2 2y agoI don't think so. I think the social dysfunction driving it is tied more directly to other factors like technology and the erosion of traditional community.
- voidpointercast 2y agoI can't speak to technology but the errosion of community stems from...?
- giantg2 2y agoIt stems largely from technology eliminating the need to directly depend on each other and increasing geographic mobility that tends to disintegrate community bonds. It's also in how technology has been used to communicate, both in reducing in-person experiences and in how the mass media can influence populations. It also provides alternative entertainment compared to previous entertainment which usually included other people.
