Does anyone here think that online communities (Incels, red pill, mgtow, etc.) are causing greater numbers of young men to become less resilient and more resentful?

Frankly I don't think it's all society.

Testosterone causes feelings of anger even when there is no cause. They look outward for something to justify the feelings they already have. Men from different backgrouds choose different things, a if a guy on MGTOW had been born into a Muslim family they might have fallen into radical Islam instead. The vast majority of crime around the world is caused by men under 25, no matter what the culture or opportunities, because of this problem.

No I don't think society is only to blame. Obviously every person has personal responsibility. These kids want to rebel and be mad, that's partly from society and partly from being a teenager. Their mind hasn't fully developed at that point. Teenagers mostly cant think about their lives and future long term. They dont realize they won't feel the angst and the anger and the I know everything mindset forever. Its always easier to be a victim and fall into the "everyone else is the reason I suck" mindset. I think part of the reason they feel this way is the alienation from society.

But I agree with you. Teenagers and young adults are generally very dumb and don't understand the long term consequences of their actions.
