Screenshot of a post by user "former-incel" on Tumblr. The post discusses how phrases like “you will die alone, no one will ever want you” are used to manipulate and harm people’s self-esteem. It argues that while this phrase is often used by abusive partners against women, the manosphere uses the same tactic on men, especially shorter men and even those of average height by convincing them they’re inherently unlovable. The author compares this to emotional abuse, saying it’s a way to make men dependent on the manosphere for validation and community.

It's amazing how often this plays out politically; people have a problem and the right has a bad answer while the left takes too long to look for the right answer. The end result is the only people who have an answer gets attention/votes. The other side will look like complainers who are trying to tear down the solution and become "the bummer" that becomes the butt of jokes and general animosity.

The left needs some answers to big problems before the right can make up some snake oil solution.
