The insel world view has a huge emphasis on the natural and the given, with a lot of appeal to evolutionary psychology. Incels have a nestalgia for lost tradition, but not any real hope that concerted right wing political action can restore that lost tradition. A key concept for incels is being black pilled, this notion of coming to a realization that things are totally messed up - so best you can do is "f*** up the world"
What are the politics of sex? Incels, porn, sexual racism, the feminist sex wars, and more. Philosopher Amia Srinivasan on her new essay collection The Right to Sex: Feminism in the Twenty-First Century.
