Deconstructing TheRedPill -- what this subreddit looks like from an outsider's point of view

You need to work more on your subtlety in trolling. But congratulations, you came up with original content!

First of all, can you provide a few examples of this Inoculation Theory in action in TRP, or is this just an assertion?

Second of all, can you prove there is a "true purpose" behind TRP, or is this just an assertion as well?

Third of all, we completely understand that our viewpoints aren't going to be understood by outsiders; we just don't care.

We don't have a leader, we are not ideology-oriented, we don't have an agenda, we're not organized. On the other hand, we are something like an ultimate cult: We DO have a huge secret, we will change your view on life forever, we deliver some of the greatest promises made by ''secret societies'' and ''cults'' around the globe, and we don't charge you anything for it. We give our ''members'' a sense of superiority and clarity. But what is decisive, what makes us truly different from any cult, is that our ideas have real, actual, measurable effects in real world, meaning I just fucked a HB7 last night and didn't even exchanged numbers afterwards using red pill knowledge.

Another thing: MRAs aren't the opposites of Feminists, they are, in the purest sense of the word, real Feminists begging women to deliver their promises, beta herblings in search of true equality and failing to find it anywhere. If I were to give a pseudo-description of what manosphere is like in terms of ''extremity'', it would be something like this:

The Political Wing(Liberals)= MRAs, r/mensrights, AVFM, Paul Elam ...
The Fun Wing(Moderates) = PUAs, Most of Red Pillers, Roosh, Roissy ...
The Extremists = MGTOWs, Barbarossa, Stardusk ...

You're a fucking idiot. Men's Rights and their politics are fucking stupid. Fuck off.

The whole point is that it's hostile to outsiders. It's a safe space where we can vent our emotions without being judged.

And the fact that it exists makes everyone furious.

I disagree. I don't think that the creators of this subreddit care that much if men's rights are taken seriously or not. I compare the two like noticing your house is on fire. Men's rights guys would sit and argue with the fire and tell the house that it is unfair that it is being burned down. TRP is more concerned with getting out of the house without getting burned and maybe getting some of your valuables out with you.

Oh my god, you've totally opened my eyes! Not only is TRP a cult, but so is feminism!

Everything about it seems characteristic of a cult:

It appeals to the disgruntled and disadvantaged.
It creates a place of belonging.
It evokes an "Us versus Them" mentality.
It uses Inoculation theory to build resistance in its members against any form of counter-argument.
Its true purpose is hidden from the majority of its members.
It creates in-group terminology ("Rape Culture")

Any thoughts?
