Is it possible to be MGTOW and a Democrat at the same time?

DangZagnut · 2018-07-07T21:49:04+00:00

I'm MGTOW and a liberal, but I don't vote democrat, because those people are too racist for me.

Global_MGTOW · 2018-07-07T22:46:23+00:00

MGTOW is apolitical, it's about avoiding the marriage trap and living the best possible life for yourself.

Both Republicans and Democrats support marriage, that should give you pause for concern.

Darth_Toenail · 2018-07-07T22:11:10+00:00

Normally I'd say MGTOW is separate from politics, and yes, you can be a Democrat and MGTOW. However, if you voted for Hillary Clinton then IMO you have betrayed not only your gender and your country but also every living thing on this planet, and therefore you ought to be shown the level of hospitality typically shown to lepers, or more precisely a flea carrying the bubonic plague.

Science4Lawlz · 2018-07-07T21:47:48+00:00

I hear this argument all the time. Lol, it makes me laugh. That's the problem with American politics, everyone thinks they should "fit into a box." We need more people in our society who don't fit the mold traditionally or as they portray this ridiculous bi-partisan politics. MGTOW and Democrat are not mutually exclusive. Let go of the herd mentality and be a unique individual. Be what makes you self-fulfilled and happy.

Universities, Hollywood, and the mass media are all incredibly liberal, influential, and actively contributing to our downfall. That being said conservatives are bad for other reasons. I think MGTOW is a libertarian or classically liberal ideology. Although MGTOW is apolitical, liberals are making SJWs and femininists and whatever else garbage that is pushing gynocracy the hardest. Classical liberals are cool though, the ones that value freedom, like Dave Rubin or something. Thats fine.

As a MGTOW I think for myself on all the issues, and not how a particular party tells me how to think. But as a middle aged, heterosexual, self supporting, white male, with ancestors from the original 13 colonies, the Democratic party considers me oppressive, patriarchal scum. They have nothing to offer people who haven’t been oppressed, or a victim of something. Their sales pitch is: Let us help you fight against the oppressive men who built this country.

Here’s the thing: I believe in clean energy, I believe we need alternatives to expensive American healthcare, but Democrats are so under the thumb of their core base they can’t reach out to independent voters like me without being internally reprimanded. They’ve helped to create the US vs THEM environment.

Kasich would have made a good president. For all you Democrats: #walkaway.

michaelmindset · 2018-07-07T21:56:59+00:00

Look dude, I’m a conservative and in 2018 I am absolutely disgusted with the left. That being said I respect all men that choose the MGTOW path regardless of politics, race, etc...you do you man. We can disagree on our politics, but we know the same truths.

Id also like to point out that the Democrats are primarily responsible for the feminization of the West, but I’m not trying to argue.

Lord_Teapot · 2018-07-07T22:03:09+00:00

how could you be MGTOW and also support politicians who tell you they'll vote for, and pass, laws which give women preferential treatment over men?

2018-07-07T22:05:47+00:00

It’s possible to be MGTOW and be communist as well. Like Stalin.

TormentedEveryday · 2018-07-07T22:56:51+00:00

Sure it is. As long as you ditch the gynocentrism. You can even be a communist MGTOW or a Nazi MGTOW. It's compatible with a lot of things.

Don't know how your fellow Democrats would take your non-gynocentrism, though. Generally they demand resignation or try to get you fired from something.

But usually MGTOW see all sides of politics as the gynocentric shitshow they are.

xslracket · 2018-07-07T23:22:52+00:00

Yes MGTOW doesn't have political affiliation.

justkoln · 2018-07-07T23:40:35+00:00

MGTOW is politics neutral. There are some fuckturds here claiming MGTOW is conservative or libertarian. Bullshit. On Reddit MGTOW though, it seems there are more people from the right.

vercingetorix14 · 2018-07-08T01:31:58+00:00

I would guess it leans US right here, because it's slightly easier to eat Red Pills from a conservative background than a liberal one. But really, MGTOW has the fun distinction of being utterly hated by both the left and the right.

I would guess it's a lot more diverse than you think. Probably feels more conservative to you because the very idea of talking negatively about anything other than straight white men as a group is total taboo in democratic circles. "Only racists do that, etc"

MGTOW doesn't play well with entitlement culture or identity politics (particularly feminism). But it would certainly be inline to stay as a democrat and fight for the party you want instead of the party it is becoming. An "old school" liberal could easily fit as MGTOW.

Also, I have a strong dislike of Hollywood, which claims to be liberal, but isn't really, since it bashes Asian males a lot.

When you see liberals, and Hollywood, talking about "white" people they are really lumping Asians of all varieties in there too. "White" is often a synonym for "not a protected race" and Asians aren't.

HorusEyeDrops · 2018-07-07T22:15:24+00:00

A democrat can also be a man going their own way, forging his own identity and paths to self-defined success.

All men are created equal in spirit, all men can be MGTOW

2018-07-08T00:53:12+00:00

I'm Canadian so I might not know all the finer points of your political system, so all I can do is give you my point of view on it. Don't think of yourself as belonging to one party or another, instead judge each politician on their platform and (more importantly) their history.

Cast informed votes instead of loyal votes.

AlexiLaIas · 2018-07-08T00:58:25+00:00

There are a lot of humorless cunts with miserable lives trying to fashion a fake world that suits them because the real world doesn’t. In this place specifically those people take the form of future mass murderer/blue pilled incels and white supremacist idiots trying to rally together after having their tiki torches extinguished in other threads.

These people focus more on hating women for not fulfilling their tradcon fantasies, rather than focusing on how to live a life that’s 100x better by not falling for all that traditionalist bs. (Kids,marriage, monogamous women who stay at home, etc).

You absolutely CAN be MGTOW without having to read exclusively from Alex Jones/Breitbart. Don’t let the loudest people in this room tell you otherwise.

nu_leaf · 2018-07-08T05:49:48+00:00

The whole system is fucked.

Tercalerc · 2018-07-07T22:17:27+00:00

I'm more of a "fuck politics" kind of guy.

MetalGearHank · 2018-07-07T22:34:33+00:00

As long as you are truly a MGTOW, then you can believe whatever you want, as long as it doesn't conflict with MGTOW philosophy.

2018-07-07T23:02:03+00:00

Sure you're not just taking the first step away from liberalism? Yank one out of a house of cards and the whole thing tumbles.

tricky1992000 · 2018-07-07T23:54:52+00:00

Democrat no, democrat yes.

HeavensUpHere · 2018-07-08T02:46:51+00:00

To be honest, the two parties for decades didn't seem all that different to me - or at least when they tried to execute their policies the compromises made them almost indistinguishable. We all almost as the public regarded them as corrupt as each other. Trump is such a fucking wildcard - I don't think you can think of him as a Republican in the traditional sense, and yet, he's been more conservative than I could have possibly imagined. I'll never vote democrat again, and I have in the past several times, for the simple reason that to me, they left the working class and embraced the "identity politics" to such a degree that its become more divisive than Trump could ever be. Not the place to argue about it, but just saying, bachelorhood was simply men wanting to keep their freedom over marriage and family, but most eventually settled down albeit sometimes much later in life. MGTOW is a different animal. It's the child of years of left political policies IMHO.

solitudeisunderrated · 2018-07-08T04:37:08+00:00

"I am, at the Fed level, libertarian; at the state level, Republican; at the local level, Democrat; and at the family and friends level, a socialist."--Geoff and Vince Graham (quoted by @nntaleb, Skin in the Game)

Seems to me you are Democrat at the state level and MGTOW at relationship level. I don't see anything wrong there.

Humans are multi-dimensional, expecting them to think one way about man-woman relationships just because they are democrat or republican is as stupid as expecting them to think one way about peanut butter.

TormentedEveryday · 2018-07-07T21:54:32+00:00

MGTOW is not a political affiliation. It is just a way of life. So yes, you could be conservative or democrat even libertarian, Not sure on communist though... :)

BDK

padraigmarcus · 2018-07-07T22:09:04+00:00

Don't allow for others to define you. You should define you. Being MGTOW actually requires courage and you already have that...so you have the courage within you to not wear the tags society wants you to wear or what you think you should wear. In other words, be a liberal if you want. Don't sweat it.

Yeah, I’m one and fuck politics, religion and ofc bitches.

laptopdragon · 2018-07-08T04:44:26+00:00

if we unanimously said "no" would you care?

gyow doesn't need permission.

2018-07-08T10:02:36+00:00

Christ, I didn't know MGTOW has a political faction, lol. Men of different race, politics, gender, religion, et al are free to go their own way! I turned into a hardcore libertarian who gags at the thought of government. I also went from ”Egalitarian”, anti-feminist cuck boy to being against equal rights because men and women are not equal. I don't sympathize with the Republican/conservative or Democratic/liberal parties because they still support the institution of marriage and, in turn, the biased court systems. That having said, I really dislike the concept of politics. It's just another tool to divide people, just like religion.

bonusfruit · 2018-07-08T12:13:38+00:00

The dissonance must be staggering. Your party hates what you are at your very core. be that as it may mgtow is apolitical, so you do you

2018-07-08T13:15:38+00:00

John Kasich is a RINO, a fake republican. along the lines of McCain or Lindsey Graham

nigelh · 2018-07-08T16:49:27+00:00

I'm a MGTOW and I live in Europe and probably believe things about social medicine and gun control that would make a Republican shit his pants.

MGTOW is about how we relate to women or more precisely how we do not relate to women. Outside of that we are a very diverse crew. Politics can be an interesting discussion topic but if your own way was the same as mine life would be boring.

I voted for Bernie, think we need some more forms of progressive social reforms and safety nets for the poor and working class, even if it means higher taxes (to a point). But I am also pro-2nd Amendment, Anti-Hillary, and think the democrats are a bunch of hypocritical and corrupt corporatist puppets. Same as the Republicans.

Political views can be complex. The whole Red and Blue team game is just to distract people from voting with their brains.

SmrtMouth1 · 2018-11-10T04:46:17+00:00

Nope.
