Why Rp makes man insecure

It makes sense as a feature of something that’s supposed to make money off of guys looking to address a complicated mix of hurt, anger, loneliness, curiosity, self-loathing, etc. and don’t know how. It’s a twisted balance of baiting someone and keeping them simultaneously miserable and convinced that you’re the cure for their misery.

You have to make a video or a blog that convinces the reader that their woes aren’t their fault to reel them in, but you’d start to lose people if there’s no cause to rally against. That cause in this case, can be one of two things:

“You’re not lovable/valuable/worth anything but you can be if you listen to our patented technique (which of course implies that you didn’t have the secret cheat code to be better, even if it then doesn’t work or makes other things markedly worse) OR
“The world is so fucked up that you’ll NEVER be lovable/valuable/worth anything. Subscribe to our channel for comforting, addictive, invigorating rage that directs all of those complicated emotions at THE ASSHOLES WHO CAUSED THIS and feel like part of a righteous army against Those Who Have What I Can Never Have.”

“You’re valuable, have intrinsic worth, and deserve to find love” doesn’t sell with the righteous fury that prompts endless internet spiraling. “There’s an elite group that I can beat/join, but who’s currently beating me in this game because I haven’t learned all of the secret rules yet” sells endless clicks.

Cuz insecure, hopeless, and desperate people are easier to manipulate, and a lot of Red Pill grifters are only out to make money.

Basically they call women gold-diggers and stigmatize sex work to distract their audience from the fact that Red Pill influencers are also doing it primarily for the money!

They don’t really want to empower men because they have no desire to lose their audience to actual contentment.

People who are content enough spend less money on crap they don’t actually need.

I don’t necessarily think that red pill “makes” men insecure… the men who fall for this way of thinking are already incredibly insecure. Red pill influencers/grifters take already broken men and trap them in the same vicious cycle of thinking, which only makes things worse… but men who are confident and secure do not fall down the red pill rabbit hole in the first place.

This is why I think it is a cop out when people blame social media alone for this problem. Social media definitely makes the problem significantly worse, but it’s not the root cause… there are several different root causes that vary based on a person’s age, race, religion, class, location, etc… and one of the most important factors, their fathers.
