Not only did Darwin NEVER say that the strongest or "best at dominating" will survive. He said that the ones most able to adapt what their environment required of them, woud survive, as well as the ones able to cooperate. He also said that the pinnacle and most evolved and noble attitude of humanity was our love and compassion towards other animals. As did Einstein. Which for some reason everyone ignores.

The notion of "the struggle for existence" already presupposes that life is driven towards domination. Even when you show animals compassion you do so because you do not naturally fear them like a bird, you completely dominate them. But you are never going to ever "cooperate" with a polar bear so your usage of the term doesn't even make sense. Cooperation between two humans is motivated by the will to dominate the environment. Adaption in darwinism is just pure luck where those that don't fit in are killed and don't get to pass off their genes. That's what he meant by adaptation, he's not a lamarckian in ehich he thinks you can accrue traits over time based on how you live. It's all determined at birth according to him. It's arguably not even wholly efficient since many female birds select for so many useless and ridiculous traits to the point where it has become detrimental to the male bird.

I think an important thing to note on this topic is that getting out of the manosphere and away from the antisocial traits it glorifies does not make you feel better either. You may feel just as depressed, anxious, and alone as you felt while in that culture, probably more so, since you lose that artificial sense of purpose. I think sisyphus creates this image that being inside the manosphere leads to a large but empty life, and being outside it grants peace and happiness, and contentment. You won't suddenly find love, acceptance, or a new sense of purpose by rejecting these ideals. You should absolutely do it, but it's by no means a fix for the underlying issues, it's just the first step.

Right, I think things like the "manosphere" is similar to Alcoholics Anonymous. It can help some people. It saves some peoples lives. A.A. saved my life to be honest with you. But after awhile it becomes something different that its original purpose. You can become addicted to it. What you become addicted to is the social factor. You get a sense of reward by being apart of the group. People in the manosphere will lie constantly because they just want to be apart of something. These are the people who are usually borderline violent in the things that they say on forums and such. Its like people who don't know how to fit in and don't know that it is crazy to say things like that all getting together and saying crazy things. The problem is that some of these kids take this VERY seriously. They are part of this group now that is bigger than them after all.. and this is what these guys are all doing.. It's like the cult that they make in fightclub. It grows bigger and more fucked up as things go along. All these men are pissed off and really now they are bound together by their anger and hate and their utter feelings of pain and loneliness they feel. The rejection they feel becomes extremely deep. They no loonger even want to solve their own problem... They just want to be a louder and more influential member of the group. They want to say things that other people in the group might admire. All of this leads to a HUGE downward spiral with none of these dudes getting what they want. Which is probably either sex, or a loving relationship. Ideally both I would imagine. They are totally fucking themselves. Drowning in their own anger and pain. If that becomes your whole world or a large part of it and you suddenly leave it then you will probably go through withdrawals. The whole thing is your addiction.

Which does more harm than good imo. Who is going to listen to people that actively ridicule their beliefs. And you are absolutely right, I have struggled with this too.

I Loved Your bit about Darwin in the epilogue. Yes he did infer there is a “survival of the fittest” in his Natural Selection Theory but many cut it off at “fittest” when in reality he said something closer to “Survival of the fittest to adapt.” The world and it’s nature are ever changing. To want to be the same forever is truly a fool’s task
@chinobambino5252
@chinobambino5252 Жыл бұрын
It is correctly stated as "survival of the fittest", but the word "fittest" itself is what's often misinterpreted. Fitness is not just a physical attribute, it's a quantitative measurement of the likelihood of survival/reproduction - taking into account both individual attributes and the state of the surrounding environment. So it's not just a measurement of an organism's abilities, but rather the "personal usefulness" of those abilities in the context of it's surroundings.

A lot more people being open about testosterone usage and a significant support toward more accessibility to newcomers has I think improved the scene immensely.

As a woman, I have always found it very strange that not only men but also women feel the strong need to be the best representation and act the best to present their gender I never wake up and think "I'm feeling very woman today" I wake up, feel like myself and have an existential crisis of "who am I". I want to be me, myself, whoever she is and I think "women" very loosely ties into that 'me' but is not my entire identity as a person. And during my teens I had a very strong urge to be "not like other girls" until I grew up a little and realized there are no "other girls" to be so scared of. We are all individuals looking to be loved and validated. So I act how I want and look how I want, which is a scary yet very calming at the same time because you embrace the ugly parts of yourself yet present them proudly to the world. TL:DR I went from a very sad little girl who only wore oversized black hoodies to a rainbow fashion disaster because colors are fun 😊

Because the majority of people feel most comfortable in traditional gender roles. I don't think many people wake up feeling "woman" or "man", they embrace the construct and find variation inside of it, because there is indeed a lot to choose. The idea of a man or a woman is so broad even in a classical sense that you pick any identity that resonates with you. Man can be strong and ambitious testosterone-filled machines or brave and honorable yet sensitive knights. Girls can be strong and reliable or weak and soft, or unpredictable and chaotic. We are all individuals indeed but don't get bound by a thought that old-school woman image is somehow limiting, I feel like as we've started putting labels on everything, we made human interaction only worse. Certain things don't need names, they don't need to organized, structured or explained by some guy on the internet, I believe.

In my friend group, the ones that got hooked the most with the weird misogynistic evo-psych-ish rethoric were the ones of us that didn't have much interests. When you are a dude bad at sports teachers kind of perceive you as smart/intellectually inclined by default, and it becomes part of your personality (and ego). It was rough growing up and being academically surpassed by mostly women, so probably we were searching for a rationale of why they were getting better results than us if we were, supposedly, the smart ones. Red pill, manosphere content was just that. Even though I'm ashamed of the things I thought (and did) back then, now I realize that it was a way for us to cope with our own mediocrity. I don't know how to word it but we didn't necessarily want to be shitty to women, but to feel good without having any merits. Growing up and pursuing my passions helped me let go of that bitterness.

While this is a great deconstruction and analysis of masculine identity, I feel like it could largely be applied to identity as a whole. Any form of identity requiring validation or confirmation will necessarily become enslaved to others. There will always be those thinking what it should or shouldn't consist of, and where it's value ought be on the social ladder. Its as boundless as humans are opinionated. And if you wish to fight for it, prepare for a battle without end. Whether it be gendered, occupational, educational, hierarchical or sexual, the impersonal identities requiring validation and confirmation will never be free of problems that can't be solved. The true self, the authentic self, has no labels.

Yes. I knew from a young age that I wasn’t straight, but a label like “lesbian” or “bisexual” always seemed so limited, inaccurate, and fuels division and hierarchy. So I went with the label that effectively isn’t one, and requires little explanation: pansexual. There are no bounds to who I could possibly be attracted to. Anyone anywhere, if hot, is hot. Crucially, it doesn’t give people room to question the decisions that I make about my life, because “pan” is effectively a nonlabel that just says “I’ll like who I like.”

This is because loneliness often results in a resentment towards women and attracts these lonely young men to figures who criticize women and tell them “It’s not your fault women reject you, it’s society’s.” Loneliness comes in all forms, you can feel lonely due to lack of peers, lack of support from family, lack of role models, not just with women. What makes rejection from women harder is due to the fact that it is emasculating and creates insecurity in one’s masculinity. The red pill movement utilizes the same mindset as Qanon and other conspiracy theories, “If you agree with me you have done your research and are smart, and if you disagree it is because you are brainwashed and your opinions have all formed due to the lies of society.”

Autumn Leaves is the perfect outro for this video. Every time I hear this iconic melody I gaze into my incompleteness and mortality while embracing it with acceptance, that this doesnt need to be so bad at all.

Growing up I found it to be quite underwhelming when I did actually reach the ideals of masculinity, but depressing and worrying whenever I couldn't. There was an asymmetry and emptiness to it all. I think that led to me eventually understanding the fact of masculinity being nothing more social construction, which was a scary idea but eventually became immensely comforting. something I could critique and choose to listen to or ignore. After that you gain the freedom to be a 'man' in whatever way you want, which I think leads to an authenticity that just makes life easier and better. I used to feel insecure about the 'feminine' aspects of my personality but now I feel most proud of them and happy to have them.

Serious comment: I really don't like the underlying assumption that men's problems aren't "real" in the sense that other groups' problems are. Like, when we talk about men exhibiting aggrieved entitlement, we're saying very explicitly that men do not deserve the improvements in quality of life that they're looking for. What kind of person would look a lonely, financially destitute person in the eye and say to them, "You do not deserve the success you're looking for"? Is this how we want to be engaging with our fellow human beings?

Agreed. That was the only part of this video which was both pervasive and which I don't agree with. The struggles of the straight-white young man are fundamentally viewed in a different light than those of minority groups. It is entitlement rather than healthy aspiration, toxic aggression rather than rightful protest. Ironically in the video it is emphasized that empathy and compassion are the best tools in decreasing in-group/out-group hostility. Yet it is so notoriously difficult to extend this compassion to men in this category. It is not a wonder to me that so many young men find solace in the words of public figures like Jordan Peterson. The whole world seemingly regards your disadvantages as irrelevant, at best, and deserved or earned, at worst. For naught but being born straight and/or white, you are either to sacrifice your self-worth on the altar of social justice, or clamor in the opposite direction, rooting your identity as deeply as possible in traditional (and toxic) masculine stereotypes. Young men hear what they _shouldn't_ be so often, yet are never given hints as to what they _should_ be. The manosphere/alpha male/redpill communities therefore have an advantage because they offer a path, providing rigid guidance rather than arbitrary admonishments. Young men need good role models, not lectures on the patriarchy that they had no choice of participation in.

As I’d probably label myself a fairly feminine guy who lives in Scotland I certainly didn’t realise the absolute depths that this whole ‘manosphere’ goes it’s wild. I’m a dad and certainly never required any overt masculinity myself when it come to self worth or meeting women but I can appreciate I’m a single person in that sense. But in my work life I have interacted with some young boys/men who seem to fit this bill and it always confused me why they cared so much about others perception and let it drive there behaviour. Quite aware of incel types and there whole thing but it’s very interesting getting such insight and listening how you’ve made such changes in your life, you should be proud of your introspection and I really hope this helps some others out that need it. Much love my guy, newcomer but I’ll stick around. Also if any young men see this which they might not I’d implore you to seek something you really care about as an individual, I’ve found love in many people and different passions that honestly make each day worth living that don’t conform to any ridged ideals. You’ll find your own happiness when you start working out who you are, not how you are perceived.

As long as men outsource their own fulfilment, joy, motivation and contentment they will cling and attach to "in groups". Doesn't matter if you are straight, gay, bi, trans, left, right or whatever. Awakened masculine energy does not need validation. A man does what he is called to do. He is who he is without worrying about appearance or opinion of others. An awakened masculine energy is a creator, protector, builder and leader. Everything else is just attachment. Boys crying over perceived issues or lack of validation. These discussions get one thing right. Man up and be yourself. Don't let anyone define who you should be but don't angrily project onto others who they should be either. Social programming wants you to compete and be divided. So called male gurus thrive and profit from your doubt in being yourself and seek to mold you in the way that will aid them or validate them. You are all you need men. Money, women, muscles, cars, prestige and so forth are nothing but distraction to your own journey to self-actualization. Go beyond the bias and comfort of familiar views. Your role as men is to protect, build, create but also to love, feel, imagine and see. No awakened man worries about other men or competes with them. He only competes and masters himself. Stop seeking validation and fulfilment outside yourself. You are all you need. Everything else is just bonus. Be blessed brothers.

I'm a woman and weirdly enough since a very young age I was always chasing after being masculine because my self-worth was put on the boys that didn't accept me as one of them because I was female Over the years I even questioned if there was something within me that transitioning may fix And though I do think that what I felt was at least some kind of dysphoria, I quickly realized that if I were to be born a man initially, Id try to combat the gender norms by trying to be as feminine as possible, since it wasn't me who I hated, but the way people saw me based on my gender identity Right now in my life, I guess I'm kind of on the non-binary spectrum? Not really? I don't really like labels, they can help you discover yourself but people get lost in them, your gender is a label in and of itself in which you get lost in People are way too diverse to live in a society so desperate to organize itself with such one-sided ideas Personally I believe that the world would be a better place if people treated each other as people And it's okay if some of yourself fits into the labels and some doesn't I myself have lived a big portion of my life in the "edge lord" phase, where my actions still depended on others expectations of me, I just tried to be the opposite of what I was told I know better now and that is to just see yourself and other people as simply extremely diverse humans You don't have to agree, just listen to each other This has helped me immensely at understanding myself and I absolutely love this video and this channel Don't know why I felt the need to share but it hit home so why not, maybe someone out there can relate :)

So as i see it - Boys are told to be strong, to stop crying, to not look back and to not rely on others and if they dont do that then other people, mostly men, will see them as weak and will abuse them. Musculinity represents fear of community and love for self. On the other hand, girls are told to be kind, expressive, thoughtful of others, sometimes even to be subserviant, etc. and if they dont do that then they will be forgotten, forever alone and sad. Femininity represents fear of self and love for community.

Thank you for making this video, its insightful in looking at this phenomenon, but i do feel in this video that sometimes the extremes of “manosphere” is taken as the common principles of it. Being loving & caring is also a part of mascuinity, increasing abilities of self through learning new skills and exploring the world can, and is considered as masculinity. From a personal experience, the red pill community is self growth, physical fitness, sitting down in the morning at the desk and jotting down goals to accomplish and staying disciplined to finish the goals. Being a follower of the red pill community does not always mean dreaming of a guy with a expensive watch or a luxury car, but enjoying the finer things in life - family, friendship and community and being ambitious in the things an individual loves to do. It does not include hating on things - being the angry young man(hilarious term tho it may be😂). But i really do appreciate the making of the video as it allows discussions like this and makes people think and question themselves and their ideologies. Those who sexualise women can go fuck themselves.

hey man! This video is a great resource for finding reading materials on the subject and very well presented :)) I'm working on an article for a Scottish magazine on the same issue. I don't have as much room to discuss as you have put in this and I'm mainly going to focus on the pre-radicalization phase of the Manosphere, kind of the waterline of the iceberg. I want to look show people who might not be very aware of it what the surface of this area looks like and also what role algorithms and idolism plays in trapping people who may have originally been seeking entertainment in that ideological echo chamber. Thank you again for this video :))

The issue is, the blame for dehumanization, and essentially all societal issues that men face isn’t directed at society - socially and economically - but rather the blame is pushed on women, gay people, trans people, disabled people, immigrants, poc, and anyone opposing them when they too suffer from the same society, only in different ways. The blame for dehumanizing men is put onto people who are dehumanized to be, in this order, sex objects, perverts, pedophiles, useless husks, lazy slobs taking our tax money/job stealing superhumans at the same time, and sex objects/violent animals. For example, it’s a toxic norm that men can’t show emotion, but instead of directing their frustration at the socioeconomic machine and other men for reinforcing it, they say “It’s because women want it that way!” when yes, some very outspoken women might be that rigid and never change their stance, others can very easily reconsider their thoughts on their own or with a heart to heart with someone they’re close to. When we mention privilege, we don’t usually say it to exclude people as enemies that must be destroyed, we want them to be able to use the upper hand they have in society to help those who do not.

@@gliiitched yeah we fight back because those are the people who are fighting us. I as a man haven’t done a thing to women or lgbt people but they are the ones who attack me. However since I’m part of “bad” group it’s ok for me to be hurt by everyone because it’s revenge. Also this “privilege” which I have yet to see for myself since I haven’t experience having it I should have no reason to help others for it when they themselves haven’t helped me and have left me to rot. You’re very naive especially when you think the people who are “oppressed” are innocent little angels when in reality they are a bunch of vultures as well and not the “good” people you thought they were

It’s gonna sound weird, but as a cis woman, I almost feel like this is as important for us to watch as it is for cis men. It’s a reminder that, as a more or less suppressed group, we can’t forget that dehumanisation goes both ways. We tend to demonise the concept of the white man, but of course that also means that young boys and men today feel like they don’t deserve to have any kind of pride in their own existence. So it’s no wonder some of them become jaded and bitter about, well, everything. There’s nothing wrong with feeling happy to be a guy or being masculine. The issue is when those traits are either framed as superior or as an excuse to hurt others. Still, no red-pilled guy is ever going to listen to our side of the argument, if they know they’re being demonised and looked down upon . If we want to be humanised by them, we should do the same back, otherwise we’re no better than those that have become so stuck in their toxic world view that they refuse to get out of the muck and have a constructive debate! That being said, I can see how those podcasts could be a good thing, if they focused on healthy masculinity, like learning to be self-sufficient, taking charge of your own life and working to become healthier both mentally and physically. But those insane, rigid and often contradictory stereotypes that are being pushed onto the listeners, aren’t healthy. They discourage such basic things as sleeping or relaxing. They claim that any emotion that is not anger is bad, and that being happy isn’t even possible for a man, because all a man must know is pain and suffering, or he is weak. That’s the most horrific “advice” possible! I just wish it could’ve stuck with “Clean your room, take a nice shower and take a little walk once in a while. It’s good for you, and people around you will be able to sense that you’re working on yourself in a positive way.”..

That's how it always is, no? Any group that that caters to an identity group and tells them that the world treats them unfairly - as true as it might be - will inevitably end up attracting people who hate out-groups and start pushing insane stuff. Are redpillers and feminists, white and black supremacists, nazis and communists, etc. all that different?
