Just a made up "epidemic" by the incels

[–] InappropriateEmote@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

There absolutely is a human loneliness epidemic, and though they're not the only ones, males are included within it. We just know it to be a major symptom of the deeper disease: atomization by capitalism. The only part that's made up is the false limitation on it being restricted to just males.

Yeah the solely "male" part is incel shit, everyone is lonely and alienated in late capitalism, but they've twisted it to only focus on men and frame it around relationships with women.
