And I think all that matches the core of the BP idea when stripped of its weird hyperbolic rhetoric and sexism.
And I think it a genuine societal problem to have a bunch of people whose basic psychological needs are going unmet, who are suffering, who are often mentally ill, because of bad genetic luck, and who are forming communities online where they stir each other up with rhetorical excesses.
I don't see any solution to that problem.
Stopping the communities forming would probably be impossible with the amount of possible ways to form communities online.
A lot of those people aren't having their basic psychological needs met because they're kind of stuck in a stubborn temper tantrum. It's not that some form of sexual relation is unavailable to them, it's that they want the kind of women the best looking men are having and they want it pretty much on demand because they've seen someone else get it.
On the other hand some men just get the shit end of the stick entirely, they have barely any options and there's not much you can do about that either
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
