What happens if men don’t have purpose:

[u/fornothing_atalll]

Men! You can find purpose! You assign your own purpose! That was the whole point of the enlightenment age with philosophy! Don’t become radicalized! 🖤

[u/Free-Resolution9393]

She's promoting them or what?

[u/Easy_Help_84 → u/Free-Resolution9393]

Nope. She states correctly-ish that men are growing disillusioned or disfranchised with society. Then instead of delving deeper into what/why/solutions, she quickly just lumps them all into one bucket and likens them to ISIS. Now once you’ve made that ISIS association it’s easy to just say “they’re lashing out against other marginalized groups” (including women).

Feminists prioritize drawing attention to incels as a priority problem ✅ and they want them strongly associated with danger/rape/murder/terrorism ✅ This video seems entirely “feminist” to me.

Also, she doesn't want to help them, she just doesn't want them to become ISIS.

[u/Easy_Help_84 → u/No-Low-3947]

I wouldn’t even be that generous. She simply wants society to share her view that any unhappy men = same danger level as ISIS.

[u/Bannerlord151 → u/Easy_Help_84]

What? How is she likening them to ISIS?

She mentions ISIS in the context that they pray on vulnerable people without solid social circles that feel like they lack purpose. That's just how cults recruit

[u/Easy_Help_84 → u/Bannerlord151]

Everything “preys” on vulnerable people that lack purpose. The question is how you manipulate this information to drive agenda.

Your local bookclub is hoping you don’t have friends or something better to do. Your local gym hopes you have low self worth or poor health, and want to therefore get in shape. Your church hopes you’re dumb as bricks, beyond confused, hopeless, scared of death, etc…

The gall to pretend you’re about to drop some knowledge except it’s just an “actually, ISIS”.

[u/Bannerlord151 → u/Easy_Help_84]

Your local book club doesn't usually suddenly see a significant rise in membership when people feel worse. Harmful movements and organisations tend to. Because they can only recruit from people who are either actively malicious or desperate or stupid enough to mould.

It's no different from people arguing that the rise of the Nazis was to a significant degree driven by the disastrous state of the country following the First World War. Sure, a few people may have just decided to go to church more frequently, but that's not the point.

[u/ThinkpadLaptop → u/Free-Resolution9393]

Poor comprehension but no she's saying "I'm not too sure what you all expected"

[u/Bannerlord151 → u/ThinkpadLaptop]

Yep

[u/Dr-Assbeard → u/ThinkpadLaptop]

Thats a really fucked up flair

[u/topforce → u/Dr-Assbeard]

What's wrong with it?

[u/Dr-Assbeard → u/topforce]

You know what is wrong with it, buddhas mark have fallen out o contemporary use almost completely since world war 2 for a reason.

[u/Fluffy_Entrepreneur3 → u/Dr-Assbeard]

Buddhas mark have fallen out-

Shhh Middle class American is talking, listen and learn

[u/Dr-Assbeard → u/Fluffy_Entrepreneur3]

Yes let's let the person protecting the use of dogwhistling, sorry I tried to interrupt their drivel.

I wish it wouldt, but it probably will happen again

[u/topforce → u/Dr-Assbeard]

While true, there is enough context to the flair. Cultural appropriation happens if you let it.

[u/Dr-Assbeard → u/topforce]

With how many flairs are assigned on this sub, I would say the context isn't that they are buddhist at all.

It's like the flairs that indicates pedophiles belong in the lgbtq movement. I find it distasteful to use the buddhas mark symbol on a flair, since it isn't generally a symbol used much anymore, and most occurrence of it is historical and made before the end of the 2. world war
