As our number grows, I keep noticing a trend: that there's been a rise in internal conflicts and clashes of ideas and temperaments. I made a post several months ago about how diverse MGTOWs could be, and how each one's leanings could be different. These differences shouldn't call for or be a reason/ excuse for attacking one another; and by no means setting any "rules" here, just saying "internal conflicts is a major cause for a fall." Outsiders, I should call them, could capitalize on our "weakness" to tear us apart, if not totally obliterate us. Okay, my use of terms as "us" and "tear us" betrays an implicit meaning of "movement"; however, far not so is what I want to mean. MGTOW as a philosophy should be immortalized, so all men of all future generations know the "right course" to take in life.
So, I've identified a number of clashes:
1. RELIGIOUS/ IRRELIGIOUS: these two groups occasionally launch into hot, caustic (and sometimes constructive) arguments here. The religious include Christians (such as myself), Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.; and the irreligious as well come in so many flavours as atheists, agnostics, apatheists, etc. Not saying again here that, such discourses are to be discouraged, however, it'd work best to not attack, shame, disdain and insult whoever, purely based on his spiritual leanings or lack thereof. Also, I think it isn't right that one tries to restrict or hinder another who makes an attempt to share his truth and beliefs with others, after all, no one here owns anyone's freedom.
2. VIRGINS/ NON-VIRGINS: I think it's extremely dumb to condescend someone with your "sexual success". Showing pride over your "sexual success" is an evidence for a horrible creature masqueraded as humans. I've seen a lot of argument threads here where one tries to shame the "lack of sexual history" of another. You've slept with xxx number of girls? Okay! So tell me what you achieved out of it.
3. NO-FAPPERS/ FAPPERS: everyone I believe, on this sub falls under one of these two categories. Once again, it wouldn't help to berate one another on this. Everyone adopts what's good for their system—and sometimes tries to share the "benefits" of what with who. I shouldn't deny you of your experiences just us you shouldn't deny me of mine, however if you don't identify with mine, best thing is to either ignore or experiment/ research to verify it rather than irrationally attacking my points and conclusions. If say, I had abstained from sex and fapping for a year and recounting the benefits of it, it would do you no good to just try to dismiss it as "placebo effects" or some other disparaging/ insulting term, which would implicitly communicate that I'm deluded and didn't experience what I felt all—in order words, denying my experiences.
4. PRO-HOOKERS/ ANTI-HOOKERS: not much to say here.
5.PRO-DATING/ ANTI-DATING: lots of differences and opinions here as well but know that the "collectivism" this sub seems to project is only an illusion, but in reality, we are all individualists seeking for the best possible lifestyle to adopt. I just want to highlight the various differential views that seems to create a "divide" here.
6. UGLY/ GOOD-LOOKING: as a bachelor, I seek for the best ways to optimize and improve my living not rely on my looks (whether good or bad) and use it to condescend others if it's good, or wallow in self-pity if it's bad. I don't think anyone here is as shallow and superficial as the general world out there to judge anyone based on purely their looks.
7. BLACKS/ WHITES/ ALL OTHER RACES: I don't often see racial attacks here though, but it does more good to add that society does harm to not some specific race of men but ALL men! No man is safe in this feministic environment of misandry and gynocentrism. We are all men who are under societal attack.
8. PUMP-AND-DUMP/ MONK: choose what you will but choose wisely. Whatever life one wishes to adopt, it would be better for them to do an analysis beforehand to avoid future regrets.
9. LUXURIOUS LIVING/ MINIMALIST (OR ASCETIC) LIVING: life as we all know it is too short to be wasted on meaningless pursuits. Whichever style you prefer: whether to be kingly wealthy or simple with your living, is a decision YOU ONLY make, and no one.
10. LEFT/ RIGHT/ MODERATE: politics, I believe cannot save any man here much less benefit. Which isn't to "forbid" anyone for holding any political opinion and defending it.
Add more if you've noticed any distinct "divides" here and elaborate a bit on it.
