Most of us, particularly men, feel unfulfilled and unhappy. There is no purpose to it all. We won’t be able to afford a house, we will never live in a functioning community based on mutual aid and respect, we will never explore, nor have meaningful adventures, having children is a moral dilemma. We have no agency, no control over our own lives. And it’s all very boring.

These are the perfect ingredients for radicalization.

I’ve undergone the process myself, slowly turning from a liberal into an anarchist. But whereas my ideology is based on freedom, mutual aid, diversity, a sustainable coexistence with nature, and a longing for happiness, most others revert to the most basic of instincts:

Hate is spreading. The majority of people actually want war.

Thanks for this. I left immediately after I read “NATO expansionism” as the chief reason for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They can fuck all the way off with that.
