I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

I don’t understand your point. If you are mildly upset at a political group you may donate a small amount of money to their opposition. If you absolutely despise that group you may donate more money or even your time to their opposition. This is basic knowledge. The more hatred you hold for a group the more you are willing to work to stop them from gaining/maintaining power. I don’t think it is a superiority complex to say “No, I don’t have to act like the existence of people who make hateful choices is valid. They can make different choices. They hate people for things that aren’t a choice, so why should I coddle them and let them do whatever?”

My point, in your odd example, is that you are stoking an arms race you lose by default by engaging in it

Its a silly and highly inefficient way of life

Its not an arms race, you dont use arms to win elections. It was not an example, it was a very broad description of how the more emotionally involved you are with something (especially politics) the more involved you will be in general. To “not engage” would be to outright lose elections, lose international conflicts, and lose personal conflicts. You HAVE to engage because to stop engaging would be to stop living. I dont lose anything by default by telling incels that being an incel is stupid, refusing to be friends with an incel, or by refusing to hire Incels at my work.

... you've literally lost every significant election and part of society by doing that tho

It is an arms race. The fact you think it isn't just makes your actions all the more dangerous

Ive never lost a race. I have never ran for office. I would argue that you insinuating being firm with not letting incel shit fly with “an arms race” is significantly more dangerous. Im stating that there is no need to respect or ignore incels. That is the conversation that has been had this whole thread. You are stating that it is more of a game of who can make/own more forearms. To try and hype incels up to think they should own guns and be prepred to shoot people really shows why you have an auto username.

Incels were shooting people long before I said any of this. But not before yall were saying everything I just outlined as problematic

Ye, it is problematic to enter a discussion about whether or not its moral to tell incels that they are stupid for being incels and start talking about it like its a war of firearms and death.
