Well, everybody in the manosphere is a toxic idiot/asshole, no matter what particular brand of stupidity they follow. It does feel very similar to religion, though. Some sects might be more violent, but they all follow some made-up shit.

It is semi-religious in that every single head in the "manosphere" is just a leader of a cult of personality.

It may be true of humanity in general, but it's definitely true of Americans that they just love themselves a good cult.

So where do we meet the devotees in the middle to try to deprogram them?

It won't work, as long as these right wing grifters designed to draw in incels to their circles. It seems even if they get married somehow it doesn't solve their issues, as long as the grifters convince them otherwise
