The prevailing moral doctrine of the early 21st century in the Euro-Atlantic democracies is that genuine moral virtues are wholly independent of worldly results, of which said mentality is applied to the social construct (rather than merely left to the cosmic as previous iterations of the concept was). The effect of this is the decoupling of moral virtues from worldly results on a macro scale, and all the consequences of that. It's also interesting that this shift of accountability (as far as th…

Besides the questionable worldly utility of the advice from the morally virtuous, the flip side of no entitlements is that there'll be a corresponding lack of obligations. The thing about societies is that it is often held together by a complex web of unwritten obligations and entitlements.
/r/PurplePillDebate31/07/26 04:22 PM

Appealing to a person's sense of honor (which in effect this is) in this day and age is functionally a lost cause given that [at least in the context of this subreddit] the majority of the folks do not have enough of a sense of honor to have it being one of the guiding principle of their major life choices. And why would they, when the society and institutions they inhabit have already discarded that a while back? And then there's the slight issue of that sense of honor being earned and that an …

So the lack of wickedness is worse than that of actual wickedness. But then again, it is already known since the mid 2000s (at least the current iteration*), hence the rise of the manosphere and the modern misogynist movement. *Salvation through faith alone is one of the previous iterations, being a reaction against the doctrine of faith through good works, which arguably itself is a compromise of the teachings of Jesus.

Most of the usual reasons one sees people give for not having children usually falls into 2 categories: Economically incapable of providing said children with the lifestyle that they deserve (read: what the society (social media) and culture around them says is the bare minimum, which totally isn't being influenced by modern consumerism or anything). The current and future state of the world (which totally isn't being influenced by ragebaiting and demoralizing groups or anything). Both of them a…

The biggest impediment towards population replacement rate is the moral virtues of the socially middle class, so in a way it's unsurprising that both governments & corporations are doing their best to cull the socially middle class.

It's interesting how the morally virtuous are far more concerned with rooting out the tiniest of ulterior motives from the inoffensive rather than dealing with the overt transgression of the openly wicked.
/r/PurplePillDebate29/07/26 10:24 AM

When genuine moral virtues are wholly independent of worldly results [in a socially enforcement context] said worldly results will become independent of moral virtues. Most of the arguments are concerning the first half, the below will be discussing the second half. Now with that in mind, so long as the consequences of unwanted persistence is insufficiently severe said persistent men will outcompete [in worldly matters] their less persistent (or more respectful, depending on terminology) male co…

Traditionally males (a majority, if not at least a plurality) accept (begrudgingly or otherwise) being pack mules and providers provided that they is an overarching goal of sorts and that their efforts will not be in vain (or at least a decent chance of that- people do accept that nothing in life in guaranteed barring death and taxes). However, modern cultures/societies of the Euro-Atlantic democracies for the most part no longer offer those types of assurances, and thus the main [non-sexual] mo…

The root of most of the younger generations' woes is that their tastes, mentality, and moral virtues are of the middle class while their income and assets are of the lower class: In effect the worst combination. But saying that their prison is in effect self made is heresy and so we'll ignore that.
/r/PurplePillDebate27/07/26 12:31 AM

Both are simultaneously true at the same time, and the seeming contradiction in that lies in how modern society is structured in where moral virtues are [by design] out of sight & out of mind while vices are spread far & wide. Coupled with illegitimatization of vigilante justice (and the increasingly patchy application of the regular justice system- debatable, but at least the perception of that is there) means that the small number of badly acting men are able to affect a far greater amount tha…

Pragmatically (because arguing from the emotional angle is a lost cause and others have already gone over that), maintaining existing friendships (especially for males with any women friends) is a good way to maintain social legitimacy & networking, which is important in avoiding loneliness down the line. That being said, none of that matters to those who have rejected society (or rejected by society) already to begin with.

Specific men are evil but coincidentally a lot of those men are the ones that modern societies [of the euro Atlantic democracies] will keep making excuses for and not actually punish in any meaningful sense. Thus the only solution [for the morally virtuous] is to enact collective punishment (in the form of shaming) and hope to get the desired effect via proxy. It hasn't worked and it won't work, but their doctrine demands it regardless.

The problem with such declaration of personal morality is that the individuals in question are often still part of society, and regardless of how wrong society is currently perceived to be said individuals still resides within it, and thus it is in their material interest to adhere to said societal norms. It's easy to talk of rejecting the oppressiveness of existing society but much more difficult to decouple oneself from said society.

It is (as ordained by the norms of this subreddit and similar internet spaces) when said want is combined with complaints about the supposed unfairness of the state of affairs, though the latter can be waived if one is in one of the "in-groups" (which most such LWM are not by default).

It's called capability: Those who are capable do so and get the results, and those who cannot don't do it and thus no results. When the latter want what the former has it's entitlement as they have not shown the capability to achieve it.

Nice guys (not even the genuinely morally virtuous, merely those with ulterior motives as defined back in the late 2000) are about as extinct as the original goth subculture. The ones observed today are attention seekers wearing the surface aesthetics of the archetype in order to farm attention (goth "baddies" farm thirst from simps, modern "nice guys" farming ragebait from the morally virtuous) from everyone else.

While there will always be those individuals that are capable of enacting years or even decades long schemes the decline of attention span in the past half century will likely have the side effect of those types of people becoming less (as a percentage of the overall population) over time.

Why would the poors [of the Euro-Atlantic democracies] care about the material consequences when those societies & cultures have already ordained that it is the obligation of the more fortunate to care for their less fortunate counterparts regardless of specific circumstances? Children are still net gain for the poor/lower class: They're just being farmed for sympathy from the rest of society rather than for their labor.

Most of the men here have seen in their lives that the males who do such assessments are being outcompeted by the men who don't concern themselves with such thoughts, but then again since genuine moral virtues are wholly independent of worldly results what they see in reality is also irrelevant.

Women by their default existence have a measure of social legitimacy that their male counterparts do not, and this social legitimacy is why single women are higher valued than their single male counterparts even with all material factors adjusted. It has not always be that way, and it might not always stay that way going forward, but in the here and now (early 21st century Euro-Atlantic democracies) it is the case.

Another day, another reminder that law & social norm abiding males need to atone for the sins of real men. And clearly [the morally virtuous] want the former to atone for the sins of the latter because all the tactics they're using mostly work on the former but not on the latter.

The question that must be answered before the issue can be debated in earnest is what is the definition of treating someone as a human being in their full complexity (or even just the precursor: what counts as part of an individual in their humanity)? And it must be a definition that must satisfy the majority of the [relevant] population.

And this is why the dismantling of existing incentive/disincentive systems by the morally virtuous is so concerning: It is those systems that are keeping the worst of the excess of men in line.

No because society would never grant the social legitimacy aspect of it, as society has a vested interest in preventing have not males from any significant form of cope, since such copes would sap away their motivation to contribute to society/economy. It is also the same logic why society would never grant the same level of dignity to NEETs as to wagies.

As I said many times: It's all the relevant men, but the community will balk when it actually comes to do anything serious about it, and the excuses will flow about how that *particular* man should be exempted, until most of them got exempted, and the problem remains. Therefor, the only remaining solution is to scapegoat the irrelevant inoffensive males, as is tradition.

Two main points to consider: The bluepill side lacks any unified hierarchy or doctrine, self appointed spokesperson are supported on specific points rather than overall system. Thus incoherence and internal contradiction are to be expected and in no way indictment of the side at large. Much of the same could be said of the manosphere side as well.

Given how balkanized modern cultures (mainstream and sub- if there's even a mainstream left) are, it's difficult to debate/discuss this in any meaningful sense. That being said, it is also easier than ever before (at least for those who live in the various Euro-Atlantic democracies) to leave any particular subculture and scope out one more to one's liking.

The passive and listless males have long been bred out of the gene pool (if they ever were there in the first place), what's left, even the most misshapen lumps, are the products of the drive to pursue.

Because they're not going to leverage the social legitimacy that comes from being a platonic friends with a woman: Either they don't recognize/understand said social legitimacy, or that they're so worthless [by societal standards] that no amount of social legitimacy will be enough to even get to baseline social acceptance.

The disintegration of societal norms (which is especially pronounced in the cosmopolitan metropolitan area of the Euro-Atlantic democracies) means that what constitute as standard behaviors & norms are constantly in flux. That same cosmopolitan nature also meant that all the cranks couldn't be just dismissed out of hand.

The same reasoning could also be applied to the various unfortunate in life and their hopes & dreams, and the slippery slope retort is of questionable validity, because fundamentally to do anything relevant about such issues would always require the disruption of the existing order and thus the comfort of the majority.

And none of those things are legally mandated or even socially expected in a relationship (especially a modern one, which this subreddit focus on) either.

Most people (at least among the older generations) accept that their job/career will consists of mostly (if not entirely) drudgery, even the subcultures that allegedly counterculture ("sigma grindset" for an example). So why are relationships held to a much higher standard, when [in the context of modern capitalist societies] it's arguable the less important of the two?

As by [modern secular] doctrine [of the Euro-Atlantic democracies] genuine moral virtues are wholly independent of worldly results (and expecting otherwise is the height of entitlement and admission of ulterior motives), proof/evidence of the immoral winning across the board is irrelevant to the morally virtuous.

The moral arguments against passport bros (which is very similar to the arguments against offshoring and globalization) is independent of the worldly/material benefits (affecting all the parties that directly partake in it) of said things.

People in general [in the Euro-Atlantic democracies] have become disillusioned with social institutions that involved loyalty, duty, obligations, and sacrifices.

The obsession with sexual intimacy [amongst certain segments of the populations] is a result of the deemphasizing of other worthier causes and sense of belonging [as part of a larger grouping] that modern societies & cultures of the Euro-Atlantic democracies have effectively fostered.

If having "something to bring to the table" isn't even enough to better the odds of results (which is the heart of the anti-entitlement doctrine), then implicitly it means that having nothing to bring to the table isn't a detriment.

All the noticeable ones perhaps, but that's because the nature of moral virtues is such that they are invisible by their nature, and thus out of sight and out of mind.

And males without prior baggage/experience are not entitled/deserving of a woman of similar lack of baggage/experience, because nobody is entitled/deserving of anything and relationships are formed due to mutual desire regardless of any societal expectations. That's the point: Since current cultural norms are such that all standards are illegitimate (in the sense of being seen as entitlement) by default any discussion on what standards people should have are also illegitimate by extension.

Even besides the obvious that performative frauds (or suspected as such) should be dismissed on ideological/moral/doctrinal grounds there's the implicit (though rarely explicitly stated) notion that any male who genuinely support women's rights/causes (and other morally virtuous causes in general) tend to get their man card revoked, and as a result aren't seen as men by either real/manosphere men or women. Thus being due to perverse incentives from both real/manosphere men and women to define ma…

The modern government provides all the benefits of children (assurance of retirement packages, continuation of society, etc.) with none of the backsides, thus making the choice of having children on the individual level a choice filled with exclusively negative effects with no payoff (after all, parents are not entitled to their children's direct support).

The incentive is that it takes less effort (compared to the pursuit of moral virtues and being a contributing member of society) and ragebaiting is cathartic for many.

I'm saying that the more tolerant a male is towards a woman's difference from her past and present the less said woman will be attracted towards him, mainly because it is exceedingly difficult to differentiate a tolerance from a position of strength (ideally, hence why everyone openly talks of when they say they like more tolerant people) rather than from a position of weakness (which is despised, because of people's innate disgust at weakness).

Since genuine moral virtues are wholly independent of worldly results, the world being from that perspective means that a lack of external reward for moral virtues is completely consistent.

Regardless, if those behaviors from those men are corrosive towards social harmony (and they are, that's why women complain about them), then society should mete out sufficient consequences to deter others from doing it (and if those said men are immune to have their behavior corrected- then they should be removed from interacting with the societies that doesn't want their behaviors).

Ulterior motives are usually more despised than overt malice, and generally males who work against their [material] self interests* are held in suspect (and there's enough examples of male feminists showing their true colors that it colors the perception of the entire type).

Because sex [under normal circumstances] implicitly requires trust/vetting as a prerequisite.

Words/terms evolve all the time, just like how the term imbecile, retard, mentally challenged, special, unique, autistic, on the spectrum, and neurodivergent (and terms that aren't even invented yet in 2026) were all once upon a time denoting specific medical conditions and evolved into generic insults.

Once the consensus is agreed upon that emotional labor is just as legitimate as physical labor the next frontier of debate will be that of social labor: Of which women will rightfully point out that they are paying massive social costs and takes upon significant risks when they enter into any sort of relationships with a male, and that in a truly equitable relationship they should be compensated for that.

All males are motivated by something, and there's no free lunch.

The same reasons why most people hate offshoring of industries to developing economies (even as they benefit from it): It is fundamentally the arbitrage of capital to exploit cheap (and less regulated) labor for ever greater profits.

Social legitimacy only has value when there's a society that values it, and the current societies in the modern Euro-Atlantic democracies for the most part doesn't, at least among the younger generations across most of the lower social classes. As for the actual upper classes who would appreciate such social legitimacy values, they also for the most part have much more choices to begin with.

Social legitimacy is the baseline (i.e. the lowest tier) of being accepted by [mainstream]* society. To merit respect/honor one must do something that goes far above & beyond.

Instincts can't be negotiated but can be suppressed via application of social pressures, but those whose instincts can be suppressed in such ways also lose what little desirability they had in the first place (as in, how potential others desire them), and so the struggle continues.

The consequences for both types [in a best case scenario] is that they are ostracized by the wider society, so again from the perspective of the undesirables they are being treated in a similar manner as the nominally bad people, the reasoning behind the consequences not noticeable enough to differentiate.

If that's the bare minimum standards then surely the men who don't meet those requirements will be [in general] worse off (by most worldly metrics, but especially those pertaining to relationships) than the males who do...

Modern studies of economics has been about the study of human nature and its interactions with each other (as well as the environment in which they inhabit), but like any other specialized fields the specific vocabulary makes it dehumanizing (and for the same reasons as well, in that it strips away the mysteries of the world).

The unintended effects of that would benefit the worst types of men: The conservatives/reactionaries: Who are against things like free love and casual sex in the first place. The incels: Who now can enjoy the suffering/privations of other men, dragging other down to their levels. There are so many internal factions within the patriarchy that any potential course of action (both on the micro and macro levels) will benefit one faction or another of such.

The only times that the majority of the males are considered men are when it comes to atoning for the sins of those minority of real men. Thus there is no incentives for anyone to make meaningful changes to deal with those men's advantages.

One can get everything they professed to want, and still remain unhappy, because they past life choices and lived experienced have twisted them. That is at least one of the implications that TRP hints at for those who spent their youth promisculy. Since society already acknowledge the difficulties of veterans (even those who never saw combat) in reintegrating back into society it's not that much of a stretch to assume that similarly sudden change of lifestyle choices would have similar issues.

Life might not be fair but the modern societies & cultures of the Euro-Atlantic democracies have made it a goal of helping/assisting the less fortunate and making the world more fair for all.

Due to the nature of the distribution of criminally inclined populations, the criminals are doing their crimes elsewhere, but the heinous wickedness of the incels & the ulterior motives of "nice guys" is everywhere. Thus it is logical to hate on the incels & "nice guys" more than the actual criminals, as the former's effects are more relevant than the latter's.

Because generations (or at least the past couple of decades at a minimum) of people have clearly stated how easy it is to spot the ulterior motives of "nice guys", which implies a [societal] base level of competency in weeding out those with ulterior motives.

Generally speaking all those based & redpilled real men of the manosphere who make noises about "the decline" and relate topics, as the implications is that the moral virtues of the modern society are unsustainable because they do not benefit those types of men, and that said men will organize and overthrow such societies and impose [various flavors of] the off oppressive/misogynistic order.

Yes your reasoning is based upon the moral virtues as dictated by society but: [threats of violence by those who are effectively outside of society and seek to overthrow said society in which they feel that they are not benefitting from it]. There are times when one needs to acknowledge that there are irreconcilable differences and force is the only comprehensible language left.

The problem is that the individual is not apart from society, and society can & should utilize any & all available tactics to keep potential nonconformists in line (and it is in the interest of society to do so). Appeals to normalize lack of accountability to the greater good of society (such as the body of the OP) is in fact a tact acknowledgement of the power of society (and trying to bargain with said society to the detriment of said society).

But if one can get enough people to make enough noises it will become everyone else's problem. That's how activism work (in a civilized society*), and how social changes take place. Your challenge is to make your proclamation stick to enough people, convince them that accepting the status quo & rolling over is in their interest rather than making noises about their causes. *in the absence of one then it's riling up an armed mob large enough, but that's another story for another day.

Because the party that makes the first [overt] move is assumed to have some sort of motive, often ulterior, and since males tend to make the first [overt] move in the formation of relationships the assumption will be that they have some sort of ulterior motives.

For all the talk of accommodating the unconventional individuals, the reality is that there is a prescribed timetable to reach certain milestones, and those that don't are useless for the great glory of society (or the trendsetters who are the voice of the moral majority, same difference).

Those men who flock towards the redpill (and the rest of the manosphere for that matter) because of their hurt (i.e. baggage and whatnot), in which they even acknowledged it as such (the "rage" phase of the redpill, among other things).

The concept of collective guilt (and punishment) operates on the implicit assumption that the affected group has mechanisms to mete out additional extrajudicial punishments to the actual guilty members via vigilante justice. Modern societies [of the Euro-Atlantic democracies] has deemed that extrajudicial punishments and vigilante justice are no longer socially appropriate, and thus negating much of the power of applying collective guilt as a tool to reform those behaving badly.

The simultaneously existence of both white knights and the manosphere (and both hating each other on an existential level) disproves the first half of the premise.

Since [presumably] you're operating on the assumption of the fabled hyper rational homo economicus, married women, by being married, wield the power of their social legitimacy, and that's usually enough to keep the provide type males in line. That based & redpilled real men of the manosphere no longer desire them sexually (and thus [in theory] no longer prey upon them out in public) is a perk rather than a flaw.

Like certain other topics, the fundamental flaw of the premise is the assumption that equalization of the "hard" variables are sufficient when the existence of "soft" variables (and them not being adjusted) means that it gives the impression that the plan put forward is not done in good faith.

So the question is how can the innocent atone for the crimes of the guilty, because the based & redpilled real men of the manosphere certainly aren't going to listen to the pleading of the law & social norm abiding males.

The same could be said for taxes and [the implications of] certain monotheism religions. The point is exactly that most systems that perpetuate themselves are some flavor of immoral from a modern "genuine moral virtues being wholly independent of worldly results" perspective, but those systems are very good at perpetuating themselves, and said perpetuation is its own justification.

Counterpoint: The existence of established social norms themselves, either it implies that: that the nature of males is not that depraved or that the depraved nature of males can be restrained, to an extent that it's effectively not their nature anymore People have been living in civilization for so long that most have forgotten that those are not imposed upon from the outside, but build up from within.

For the based & redpilled real men of the manosphere perhaps, but for the law & social norm abiding males most of the previous existing social norms still applies to them (if not even more so than before because they are also on the hook for all the sins committed by those same based & redpilled real men of the manosphere).
