The red-pillers were committed misogynists who believed that women had too much power, that only through self-optimization and manipulation could they convince women to have sex with them. The Black Pillars who came after didn't believe that was possible. They thought they'd lost a genetic lottery at birth, and that the only reasonable response was nihilism.

That's a dark story, one that's been told, one that many of us have at least an ambient awareness of. You still encounter these cultures online.

I think every subculture has a certain predilection to pseudoscience and craziness. One of the best examples is the fascist occultism that starts to infect the black metal scene in Europe in the 80s.

It tries to identify who else is like you, and then it puts you guys whose attention were drawn to the same things in a category that can be advertised to, and then advertisers show up with their products.
