    There’s some very bizarre phrasing here.

    “It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being x” implies some kind of entitlement, as though women should be shared out equally by some women dispensing system.

    He’s really just saying “women do not find x appealing”.

      Some kind of incel Communist where women are supposed to be commonly shared like the famous toothbrush.

      Or maybe something more marxist leninist incelism, where women are distributed by the state.

      Have you seen that website that gives you the % of a population (of your desired gender) that meets the criteria you want ?

      Turns out for someone like me that basically put “everything with a pulse around my age (24-32)” resulted in a stupid low percentage, like sub 2%. Imagine on top of that I added “and conservative”. I would bet that number goes to 0%.

      These conservatives are falling for their own propaganda and think that there are white young blondes in the millions that are willing to be a trad wife.

      It sounds like one of those games people play with their phone’s auto-complete. Let me try.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being married.”

      … actually, yeah, that tracks.

      I’m not sure that’s true.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being a hermit.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being lost at sea.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend because of my curse of invisibility.

      It’s hard to find a girlfriend as a patient with locked in syndrome.

      “Women like having rights and i want them to make me sandwiches.”

      Conservatives and incels loooovvvveee to feel entitled to things personaly, which is kind of crazy because you’d think theyd support socialism in that case. Socialism distributes resources evenly, so in the dystopian end game where women are still treated as objects, every man would get 1 woman. Meanwhile the capitalist equivalent requires you to provide something of value for trade, which many of these men simply do not have

        The older I get, the more clear it has become that the defining distinction between conservatives and progressives is the field of people you care about/consider worthy of concern. The broader you are concerned for the rights, well-being, and advancement of other people, the more progressive you are. The more narrow your concerns for yourself and your immediate connections, family, and friends, the more conservative you are.

        It is why conservatives discover concern for LGBT rights after decades of rejecting them once their kid comes out. It is why “I have a black friend” is such a common refrain among the conservative crowd to avoid accusations of racism (because they probably genuinely do have concerns for their friend’s individual wellbeing, even if they don’t give a shit for black people at large). There is an awesome black dude that has reformed many KKK members just by becoming their friend so they actually care about a black person now. It is also why they think that Capitalism is the ideal form of economy, as the very principle and justification of it relies on the notion that all humans are inherently selfish and will accidently improve others lives just trying to generate profit for themselves. They do not feel true altruism for other people, at least not those who aren’t directly tied to themselves or that they do not see as being like themselves. Everything that they consider normal and typical from their own limited experience should be the default, should be protected, and anything that interferes with that, threatens that, or challenges their perception of that should be vehemently rejected. They literally cannot put themselves in someone else’s shoes, and suggesting they try is an attack on them.

          That’s what I realized after COVID and Trump. The people I had as friends started to show if they cared about others in general, or just their own immediate circle.

          But there is a blindness in their reasoning, that makes otherwise intelligent people fall for propaganda.

          One family member talked about leaving Canada to move to Texas with their daughters. That one blew my mind.

      You took the words right out of my head. How do you say this sentence and not connect the dots??
