You're being pedantic then being a pedant about being pedantic.

Look up The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving by John Hoffman.

I don't know about it's quality, whether the advice is any good. I just know it exists.

America has democracy??

I mean, misinformation has been a problem for as long as humans have existed. The overabundance of information and misinformation is new, but not their existence.

Legalize drugs, stop the war on drugs from Nixon era. It should be treated as a health problem, not a criminal one, and once they're at least decriminalized the cartel's profits would PLUMMET.

Ofc USA has probably the strongest propaganda system and has incentive for the cartels to continue existing, so I don't see that happening unless some change that's major and unexpected happens.

Disinformation has always been a problem, and it continues to be.

Consider that the sky is only ever one colour at a time. Let's say it's blue rn just for simplicity. It's not red, orange, yellow, etc. There can be more false statements made about this subject than there can be made a true statement. There will always be more misinformation than truth.

Now, a lot of that misinformation is disqualified cause even the most propagandized person has eyes. But that doesn't disqualify all of it.

There are questions science won't ever have a definitive answer to, because religion makes claims on them that are unfalsifiable. Part of it is just that people need an answer to those.

I left Islam, and while I wish all muslims would do the same, it required me ro go through a series of existential crises I'd be hesitant to force on my worst enemy.

There are plenty of other factors to consider too, traditonalism, the way the human brain forms neural pathways and how it is harder to get rid of a pathway than it is to form new ones from that, nationalism or the use governments and powerful people have for religion...

The good news when it comes to propaganda though is that if those in power don't constantly exert control over the masses, then their entire hierarchy would collapse pretty quickly.

His beliefs didn't change exactly, but his understanding of the world did.

I'd say he switched from lawful to chaotic over time as his character arc.

Okay

9/11 has been so overblown. Literally, with the bombing of middle eastern people when the US government used it as an excuse to attack an uninvolved country... such that most people think of it as a joke now.

Also with what the other person said regarding COVID. I personally cannot take that event seriously anymore. In fact, I see anyone who complains about it having to be taken seriously as overprivelaged... Yes, really.

And? That doesn't contradict my perspective of him at all. There are plenty of reasons to retire beside what you're inferring.

While there can be some healthy trends in these online communities, we should look at it from other angles as well. How does it compare to just getting therapy? Does growing some emotional intelligence turn men into incel terrorists the way a blackpill site might? How do these communities loom from the outside?

Let's assume that the toxic males among MGTOW are just a loud minority. Why would you still want to hang out there? There's plenty of supportive spaces, both online, and IRL that don't include men who call women trash. Tolerance of intolerance and all that.

If MGTOW stuck to the goal stated in their name, I'd have been happy to stay with them. But even the most reasonable men I found who identified as MGTOW often had sexist tendencies.
