The weird thing about incels is that they are a group specifically formed to NOT improve themselves. Its like if someone supported a sports team by.......not going to any of their games and criticising everything their team did but still insisting they are the most loyal fans and everyone else are posers and frauds.

Its patently ridiculous.

    As you can see what they have built isnt a safe haven. Its a jail of their own making. Maybe they will make more mass murderers, but there are two major factors which prevent them from becoming too dangerous:

    1) Population. Their population can only ever decrease.

    2) Recruitment. They cant actively recruit people. No sane person would join a group whose specific intention is not to reproduce and to isolate themselves from any possible forms of improvement.

    There is an interesting and similar group to incels (minus the violence and stupid ideals) and is of the religious group "The United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing" also known as the Shakers which are an offshoot of Quakers. Shakers cant actively recruit, you have to join them of your own accord and Shakers cant marry non-Shakers. Therefore, most shakers are family members of previous shakers.

    I remember watching a documentary about them many years ago. The current Shaker population was 6 people I think.

      Actively welcoming new people isnt the same as actively recruiting people. There is a fixed number of incels in the world and that number can, technically speaking, only ever decrease. Unless they actively go out and convert sane people to their insanity.

      You could argue that they can 'recruit' from a pool of vulnerable people who find them, but you can you can also argue that people in the incel group can leave as well.

      This is where Scientology and incel's differ. You cant just log out of Scientology. They'll come after you. This makes incel's a evolutionary dead end.

      a group specifically formed to NOT improve themselves

      That's my main issue with them, combined with it being in my face often enough, yet with me inexplicably banned unable to engage makes it a problem. My freedoms are limited to only receiving their bombardment unable to react, constructively, negatively, or generally.
