For those of you thinking MGTOW is a legitimate option and considering it, it is not a legitimate option, because you are playing the game whether you like it or not.

Sure, you can minimise your losses at the table but you still have to play the game, and the rules are changing all the time, being shaped by those with the power to do so.

If you play on the back foot, and are continuously worried about minimising your losses, you miss out on numerous ways to learn to adapt in real time to how the game is being played.

Secondly, you are being forced to play. If you pay taxes, you are playing whether you like it or not. Your taxes are being used to pay for abortions, child support, and other socialist policies that basically means your chips, even if you sit passively at the table, are being taken and transferred to other active players.

Unless you go and isolate yourself away from society, do not partake in it at all, and literally break one of the most fundamental laws of power by doing so and conceding defeat, you are playing the game.

You can choose to be an active player who decides to study the rules, his opponents, and the environment, or you can be the passive player that allows himself to be played.

'Look man, I do what I can do to help y'all. But the game is out there, and it's either play or get played.'

Omar Little, The Wire

MGTOW's are still playing the game just passively, unless they have left society altogether which most of them have not. They've just minimised their losses by giving up on the game at the table.

Their income taxes are being used to fund those socialist policies. Sales Tax is still being used to pay for those policies. The rest of society still goes on without them.

Everything they are against is still being funded by them, and will be in the future with the introduction of bachelor taxes. There will be other ways created to force them play.

The system is being perfectly crafted to extract from both active and passive players. It's becoming more fine tuned by the day to suit this set up.

At the end of the day, you either play the game and try to get some ROI, or you get played. The government won't give a shit about MGTOW until they stop working and actually revolt.

Passively sitting at the table and allowing your chips to be transferred to other players is not revolting, it's being passive.
