The Clash of Civilisations
Though it must be tempting for authority figures to claim they know best when it comes to all things law and order, there are often more than a few holes in their arguments.
Concepts such as Castration anxiety and Castration complex were lent great importance by Dr Sigmund Freud.
According to Wikipedia (see above) castration anxiety means young boys live in fear of losing their penises which is a metaphor for loss of power and fear of death.
Interesting that these ideas circulated before the invention of nuclear weapons.
Because nuclear bombs are a form of castration – Emasculation – loss of power.
The same school of thought suggests young girls fall victim to Penis envy.
So young men are scared and young girls are bitter and jealous.
I suppose any theory can be justified by the data if you collect and interpret it knowing what you want to find.
Tricking yourself into falling for confirmation bias is a schoolboy error. But we do it. We are so susceptible.
Imagine what the people who first spread these types of ideas thought when they realised they were getting away with it?
They will have, like Sigmund Freud’s nephew Edward Bernays, moved to Madison Avenue in New York and got involved in the advertising industry.
I remember reading that Edward Bernays, known for his Torches of Freedom, was asked to join the Committee on Public Information to drum up support for US entry into World War I in 1917.
The need to get involved in totally unnecessary wars feels very Incel to me.
I believe the likes of Johnson, Sunak, & Cameron in particular – our last three Tory Male MPs – have grown to rely on the Incel demographic to get them over the line – in Sunak’s case we have the unedifying sight of an ethnic minority PM trying to be the most anti-foreigner politician in the room simply because he thinks that is how to get votes. What a way to behave. All that money and he thinks the best way to go is by ruining as many lives as possible. These people are already dead inside. They don’t have to live with the consequences of their actions. But that’s ok because they probably think that hell is other people.
And of course the bizarre recent case of the Man known as ‘eunuch maker’ who streamed mutilations
