I just think it’s crazy that the term incel has been on the net since 1996. A woman is credited with creating the phrase, which got shortened to incel when the radical misogynistic ******** co-opted it. So essentially incels have been around since the late 90s, but it only recently has become a problem/talked about because far-right/misogynistic/racist/white supremacists have plugged into their communities to recruit.
Think about it? Someone who is lonely and angry is wayyy easier to provoke and indoctrinate than someone who is happy and sociable. Not saying that those people can’t snap but rather that it’s genius, as a radical, to plug into a community of people that are largely white, male, and have the means to fund their own attacks. It’s ****ing brilliant, and equally ****ing scary.
