Coincidentally I’m writing a book about this, because it’s not an isolated phenomenon. In Japan they have “hikikomori“ and because they’ve had hyperadvanced capitalism, their social issues are pushed forward 25 years. What ends up happening is these dudes die and nobody finds them for years because they automate their rent payments. Modern society has purposefully made these guys feel “redundant” in the terms of Zygmunt Baumann, and they have more ways of distracting themselves than ever before through electronic morphine drips. French philosophers have been discussing the effects of this technological virtual world we live in, it’s a theory of “hyperreality” where life is experienced through television screens (now computers) hence him saying he “feels more real online”. Other byproducts of this are those cyborg sex dolls, and people paying girls to pretend to be their girlfriends.
In other words, modern society attempts to use conservative forces to maintain the status quo, and in doing so becomes paranoid of any subversive ideas that threaten social order. People in order to conform to this paranoid society then must become neurotic themselves and mentally dependent upon the epoch. Their way of living is entirely predicated upon what society lays out for them, like a parent laying out a child’s clothing. These people are then repeatedly rejected by society: failing school tests, failing at meeting women, failing at getting a job, and because their whole existence was supposed to be dictated to them by society - this rejection by the society leaves them shyt out of luck with no way of fathoming a way of being outside the boundaries delineated by the neurotic society that rejected them.
. He actually left a letter about the bullying on his rack. Our Leading petty officer used to call him queer because of how soft spoken he was. Breh was extremely anti social and avoided women like the plague. Needless to say, our LPO went to mast after breh killed himself.
. Incels have a psychopathic look to them. I highly doubt that we have posters like that on this forum.
