So after the Canadian attacker mentioned the 'incel (involuntary celibate) rebellion and made reference to the 'gentlemen cuntwaffle', is it time to take these people seriously?

We laughed at them (as I've done in the past in the dating thread - Idar will ring a few bells to the regulars in that thread), we called them all manner of names, we labelled them pathetic as they seemingly rant into the ether about the injustice they face in trying to develop relationships with women, but none of this has helped to combat the real threat these people are starting to pose.

The only real common identifiers are their hatred of women (who they call Stacey) and the men (who they call Chad) they perceive as stopping them from having what they consider fulfilling relationships. They radicalise themselves through movements like MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) and yet bringing this up in any serious way is usually met with ridicule and classing those men as losers who are better off ignored.

We can't ignore them any more, but what can we do to identify, help and stop these young men from launching murderous attacks?

Yes, we will need to help these young men as the alternative is to see a rise in attacks.

Only thing I can think of is authorities need to treat them like potential terrorist groups and monitor them for extremist behavior, much like they do ISIS etc.

The media also needs to remove its head from its ass and stop portraying terrorism as something only done by people who follow Islam.

I mean, men can stop treating women as objects that they somehow are "owed", for one...and have parents raise their children to treat women as equals. Not much "we" as a bunch of random people on the internet can do to change this though. There have always been sad, lonely men, who lash out because they can't get laid. It's not a new phenomenon by any means.

You’re going to have to explain this to me like I’m five, because for some reason the opening post just confuses me.

the silicon valley tech bro libertarians need to put proper efforts into moderating their platforms

government resources need to be put towards monitoring those internet communities where these people aggregate

the education system needs to work towards curbing toxic masculinity at an early age

Basement dwelling shitbags who have little interaction with women blame everyone in the world for their problems but themselves. So they complain on the internet to other adult babies about how the world and women are out to get them (even though they are gross) which then becomes an echo chamber of filth.

Involuntary celibacy. Basically people with ugly personalities who have trouble with relationships. Instead of trying to be decent people they've gotten together online and decided it's everyone else's fault and get really mad at anyone who is more socially successful and women in general. Basically they believe it's everyone else's fault they're lonely and instead of trying to attract people to them they work themselves up into believing everyone is their enemy.

I wasn't aware there might be a mobilization for this. Oh internet..!!

I'm not sure what can be done from the inside atm. People will organize under anything. Best just to mark any active group that uses extreme tactics as specific targets to look out for and raise awareness about it. In the meantime, to quell the movement over time, de-antagonizing and creating a proper discussion to help address this early on before it becomes a vehicle for other growing young generations will help.

People who would normally be that weird harmless kid who grows up to be the odd person living alone now has access to hangouts with 1000's of others like them where they can all sit and reinforce each other's views while getting angrier and angrier.
