Incels are perceived to be a threat to women, and women are indispensable.
But I do not agree with the thesis statement that anyone actually fears incels. I can very comfortably post some rant about how incels should be rounded up and slaughtered on any major social medium and face minimal repercussions, outside of perhaps a boiler plate dispassionate ban for “inciting violence.” I think this fear-mongering is empty posturing done to signal status (virgins are losers, and displaying antipathy towards virgins is a low cost way to signal sexual desirability). This antipathy isn’t even universal. Plenty of people (yes, even women) feel bad for incels and want them to succeed, and believe that overcoming their insecurities will at least make them happier, if not sexually successful.
And as a 30+ virgin myself, I do not believe there is any disease that has infested western civilization by a few men getting no pussy, or that incels are endemic of a greater social morass. For every Epictetus who wrote on the nobility of being blessed by God to live as a crippled slave, plenty of ancient low-status men hated their lot and thought God was a dick. They’re just given access to the cheap and easy printing press that is the internet now.

People have been claiming that Western liberal democracy will inevitably lad to degeneracy and collapse for more than a century. It never happened.
If Bill the Butcher were alive today, he would almost certainly say that it DID happen, and that America is now a corpse being animated to do the bidding of the Catholics, Jews, and Europeans who infest it.
Historical American reactionaries have been more or less vindicated, and it’s hard to imagine Poole or his contemporaries being impressed by your stock portfolio or the advances of modern medicine when the culture is so unrecognizable. The only thing separating them from the reactionaries of the 1950s is that Woodrow Wilson and Adolf Hitler poisoned the Overton window badly enough that you can no longer join the American military without pledging to “defend democracy around the world.”
If history repeats itself, it’s reasonable to conclude that America as we know it will be more or less “dead” and replaced by something else in 200 years. Even if the new owners keep the old place’s name to save money on a new sign.
It is absolutely true. Racism is virtually nonexistent in the military. Especially compared to academia and the kinds of NIMBY upper class blue communities who believe immigration is a good thing, so long as it doesn’t impact them.
Sexism is a different story.
