On this week’s episode of INCEL, Naama takes care of some “housekeeping” and lays out the (uncertain, expanding) future of the show by teasing out some upcoming episodes, before sitting down for an interview with Kenneth T. Jolivet, author of the new book “Society Kills Men.” Ken is a husband, father, and 20 year veteran of the US Air Force, whose book addresses some of the implications of contemporary society for young men, and the grievances shared by many incels and members of the manosphere... which leaves her wondering if she’s radicalizing herself??? ————————————————————— Find out more about Kenneth T.

Over the past few weeks, Naama and guests have grappled with the question: what happens to incels when they “ascend” or simply decide to leave the community? How do they take that leap? And then adjust to life without their former friends, their beliefs, and their “second home,” for a strange new world? This week on INCEL, Naama speaks to ”Jack Peterson,” (not his real name...) the first “former” to go public about his upbringing, his time inside, his decision to leave, and life after “ascension.” ————————————————————— Listen to more of Jack Peterson’s story on NPR’s “Invisibilia,” at https://www.npr.org/2019/04/11/712276022/the-end-of-empathy/ —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ‬—————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In episode 10, Naama is joined by forensic psychologists, Dr. Scott and Dr. Shiloh, from the LA Not So Confidential podcast to pick up on the conversation introduced last week, about their experience with inceldom, and how they determine an individual’s predisposition toward violent behavior from a clinical perspective. They also discuss the societal factors that many incels describe, and their thoughts about the black pill as a worldview, and some possible steps forward for members of the community, mental health. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Incels have been in the news. In episode 9 of INCEL, Naama unpacks some of the recent events behind the headlines, such as the military warning issued about the release of the new Joker movie. Through statements from the community’s leaders, the chatter on the forums, and the start of a conversation with forensic psychologists Dr. Scott and Dr. Shiloh from the LA Not So Confidential podcast (which continues next week), INCEL starts to really grapple with the question of potential violence from this community. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Due to the developments of this past weekend, INCEL is taking this week to provide you all with an emergency breaking news analysis of the case of alleged perpetrator of the Toronto vehicle-ramming attack of April 23rd, 2018. Naama analyzes various aspects of the newly released transcripts to look into possible motives. ———————————————————————— She also speaks to Jesse Morton, founder of Parallel Networks, a DC-based organization that combats hate and extremism, about radicalization. His history as a former American jihadist provides incredible and unique insight into the process of “radicalization,” and a framework for addressing it. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

In episode 7 of INCEL, Naama goes back to the beginning by deconstructing some of the popular media hit pieces about incels, which are usually all anyone sees. She also returns to her first guide through the incel landscape, Frothy Solutions, whose insight on the community, as an “agecel,” is invaluable. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

Elliott Rodger, "the supreme gentleman," committed a heinous act of domestic terror in Isla Vista, California in 2014, earning the nonstop attention of media, and an ironic martyrdom in the incelosphere, to the point that "going ER" has become a meme. In this episode of INCEL, Naama examines his downfall and pathway to intended violence with his manifesto- a primary source revealing his cognitive processes.   —————————————————————  She follows this story by detailing each incel or incel-adjacent massacre that followed in the years to come, most of whom were "copycats," who attributed Rodger in some way. Is this community a radicalization vector? Why is this happening? We can't stop it if we refuse to ask that question. —————————————————————— Please check out my all new Patreon for ad-free, uncensored episodes and weekly blogs! https://www.patreon.com/NaamaKates ————————————————————— INCEL is created and produced by Naama Kates for Crawlspace Media.

This week, Naama travels to SEA with “K,” who has discovered a way to ascend. They discuss a variety of concepts and terms, including JBW, which stands for “Just Be White,” and manlet, the term for a short incel. ASD stands for autism spectrum disorder. Next week, INCEL will cover the mass shootings linked to the community, including, of course, ER. —————————————————————— Autism Spectrum Diagnosis Screener: https://psychology-tools.com/test/autism-spectrum-quotient —————————————————————— Questions for “K”?
