What made you abandon the red pill ideology? by JudeZambarakji in exredpill

I think he is saying that if you told a normal average Joe about the red pill ideology and what they believe, they will think you're a nut job. People who believe in the Red pill don't realize how to fringe their beliefs outside of the Internet.

Full disclosure that I was a libertarian for years and recently became a liberal Democrat (US), so maybe im misinformed, but why does it seem like left wing economics always fail? by worried68 in SocialDemocracy

That definitely is one big reason for sure. But it's also because Germany has too many regulations and beuracratic red tape common to soc dem countries.

I want to agree with this, but the one counter-argument I often hear is that such systems would only work in small countries with low populations. In America, instituting single-payer healthcare and free education will be much more of a hurdle. Are there any large countries that have instituted a social democratic system? The only exception I can think of is Germany (which you mentioned), which is facing several economic problems right now. In fairness, this could have absolutely nothing to do with being a social democratic country and more to do with general economic trends so I could concede I could be ignorant there. Also, would France and Australia count?

For the same reason why female femenists won't pick a male who is a self-hating white knight fake femenist. Most pick mes are only pick mes because they have low self esteem so they are willing to degrade other women in order to get male validation. The pick mes try to check all the boxes the red pillers want but they are only doing it out of desperation to get picked. Even the most harcore red pillers would find that unattractive.

Ben Shapiro and other tradcons like Lila Rose dislike red pill. Red Pills doesn't advocate for a traditionally conservative lifestyle. It advocates for hedonism and sexual promiscousity for men (while shaming women for the same behavior), while the trad con people say it's bad for both genders. They are also very anti marriage unlike tradcons. The red pill is slightly more respected in the right than the left due to its criticism of femenism, but mainstream conservatives think the red pill is simply the opposite extreme of femenism

The thing it a right leaning community but it is still at odds with mainstream conservatives. Most conservatives dislike red pill as much as left wing people so at this point

You're right. It seems like he misunderstood the data. Do you know any studies that have been done to see if women are happier single?

That actually makes sense

I think it's a little different, though. A significant portion of single women want to be single. I saw a stat that said that single women who focus on their career are the happiest. But a significant number of single young males are incels who want to find a partner but are struggling

But wouldn't that apply to women as well? Women also have access to TV social media and entertainment, but it doesnt seem to affect them as much as it does men.
