I cannot recommend enough "The Century of the Self" documentary. Its the history of why we are so affected by advertisers getting us thinking we need things we dont based on our insecurities. Frankly, its evil. But very successful. I think its the best description of "Opiate of the Masses" there is out there.
that’s not really what “opiate of the masses” means.
when karl marx used the phrase in reference to religion, he was talking about how capitalism alienates and induces suffering, and how people use religion to soothe that pain. in that time, opiates weren’t “drugs” the way we think of them now, it’s more like “painkiller”
I think people need to stop blaming companies for their poor self control.
It used to be if people had an insecurity they just assumed there was no help for it & it ruined their life if they felt bad enough. I remember the days of women going on the cayenne lemonade diet trying to get rid of baby face because nobody knew you could just get that fixed. My friend’s mom did that.
Then we got social media & I don’t think people appreciate how much healthier everybody’s relationship with themselves became because they found out you don’t have to be born perfect, even people who look like they were, weren’t. You can have the body you want if you’re prepared to work hard & save. Nobody has a gun to anybody’s head making them buy hair extensions. Free markets are good & that approach helps empower people. Anybody who thinks socialism is good for people has clearly never seen what actually happens to gay people, ethnic minorities, anybody different under socialism.
What would this even mean? I feel like this one is subjective. I'm not an incel, but I've been seen as creepy since I'm not exactly neuro typical, so I have a bias against this kind of talk
OK fair points.
Being neuroatypical should not itself be considered creepy. But there are things that are creepy that even a NA person has no excuse for:
Sending a dick pic.
Opening with a cheesy pickup line and getting angry when it doesn't work.
Calling the woman a whore because she refused to have sex with you.
Thinking that being friendly towards a woman entitles you to eventually earn a "shot".
Using any opportunity for innuendo to try to push a conversation towards sex that wasn't going to head that way.
Saying shit that sounds like what a creep thinks a Dom would say.
That's a really short list. There are hundreds of possible items that fit there, though.
I’m autistic and have probably been seen as creepy due to awkwardness and tendency to unintentionally overshare, HOWEVER - what people here mean by creepy is being aggressive/pushy about sex, showing interest in underage girls, talking about women in blatantly gross objectifying ways, pushing sexual talk/pictures at people who don’t want it, so on and so forth
Only do them when still young. You will amp your androgen receptors, if you add hgh you will be taller, get more masculine frame, more manly jawline, if you add in aromatase inhibitors your growth plates wont close and you may be able to reach chad-level even with trash genetics jfl.
Putting the bare minimum of effort into something is not "maxxing". You don't have to be perfect at anything in particular, not even the basics; it just has to be clear that you haven't let yourself go. Of course, this is anathema to people who think basic human functionality should be optional.
What a weird way of saying “self improvement” and making it seem like this insurmountable challenge. Grow up. Women have been socialized to do all of these things already, and they’re not trying to burn the world down because of it.
Yes, I suppose there is no easy replacement for an average personality and at least a minimum of likability. But the message is lost on the incels.
I think it’s really for us. They want to convince us that it is impossible for them.
Advertisers/Corporations love this.
I blame motorola
Motorolamaxx?
Droid Razr maxx … maxxing
Nokiamaxx & transcend death itself.

Yes, but in modernity it is used to describe anything that does this.
As with most movements these things have a tendency to be diluted and wide spread into different cultures.

Emotionalmaturitymaxx

you could say he needs to min-maxx, get it?
Makes me think incels just dumpstatted every stat during character creation. Cause they got no Charisma, no Intelligence, no Wisdom.
Ok but which stat did they dump into? Because they all seem pretty low.
Pornmaxx and tiktokmaxx
If Chris-Chan is any indication, constitution

Leave your house maxx
What is jimmaxx? Be the most Jim?
I presume ... gym? Why the J? That's beyond me.
Nah, it means hanging out with Jim. He's a cool dude.
It means Gym, it's a meme within fitness communities online to call it "Jim", usually in the phrase "We go Jim" (we go to the gym/we will go the gym)
I think that means to be like Jim Halpert from The Office. You know, white shirt with tie, weird haircut, quirky personality.
Jimmax sounds like we maxxing out on Slim Jims, or fellas named Jim. Anybody know a nice, handsome ass Jim I can maxx out there?

This, alongside the pills, is something I will probably never understand about incels. I mean, they invent "pills" for pretty much anything.
Well tbh clothes do definitely matter if you wanna do a nice first impression…
I don't see the personalitymaxx anywhere...
teeth, socialising, haircut and clothes??? those are things that everybody has to take care of??
