    Tolerance is not a value, it’s a mutual social contract.

    If these people are not willing to give it, they can’t expect to receive it when it’s convenient.

      This is a callous, zero-sum, losing strategy.

      If somebody is in a position where Tate appeals to them, my criticism of Tate’s brainwashing combined with criticism of those who ridicule lonely people will be more influential than this meme’s ridicule of lonely people for being desperate enough to fall prey to brainwashing.

      These lonely people are trapped between two hostile forces. I am drawing attention to that.

        We aren’t criticizing lonely people. Go take your strawman elsewhere.

        Incel/NEET/sigma/Redpill “culture” 100% deserves as much and as frequent derision as fucking possible. The only remotely positive thing these horrendous ideas perpetuate for their target audience is the “grind mindset” (which in itself is horrifying). The only reason the “grind mindset” is helpful in these situations is that it helps people stuck in this world get into the real world.

          Ridiculing people susceptible to psychopaths actually drives those people to red pill bullshit. You’re doing Tate’s work for him.

            Again… since you are incapable of holding this though in your brain.

            Ridiculing people and ad ideas are two… count them: one (1), two (2)… different things.

              Again…

              This is the first time you said these things.

              Ridiculing people and ad ideas are two… count them: one (1), two (2)… different things.

              The meme mocks the people who can’t get a girlfriend. It’s right on the picture: “Why can’t I find a girlfriend starter pack.”

              If it was mocking the ideas, or the grifters who perpetuate the ideas, it would say “grifter starter pack.” But it doesn’t say that.

              It puts the effect before the cause so that it can mock weak people. It’s kicking lonely people when they’re down.
