7. What's really responsible for the rise in male loneliness
Tue Jun 23, 2026, 11:41 AM

Is conflicting expectations based on extracting profits from human beings.
The isolation is the method by which sociopathic money interests break down society in general and create doubt and unrealistic goals for normal people.
A self-confident young person who doesn't depend on being accepted by those around them or finding others to blame when things go wrong in their life will not turn into an incel.
We as a society are being conditioned to limit ourselves and our rights - to accept only our own realities, and deny any others we might not like or fear.
We're being encouraged to ignore the world outside our personal bubbles, and are being taught its okay to resent or deny others who don't live in our realities. It's a patronizing attitude pushed down on the general population by selfish, fearful wannabe "leaders" to create an equally infantilized, isolated mass to bully.

It's now considered weak to acknowledge other different people have a right to exist within a social compact.
Being able to manage in a world of diverse people and complex is considered "too hard" and unacceptable to be forced to do.
Being aware of the world around one is "inconceivable"...
