The Violent Incel Cult


Listen Later

An alarming number of incels are terrorists. Yes, I said terrorists. But you do not have to take my word for it. Members of the Council of Foreign Relations who specialize in counter terrorism and homeland security made the statement. Here is what they said: "The involuntary celibate (incel) movement might seem to be just  another sad online community, but strands of it have turned violent,  committing repeated attacks that are best described as terrorism. Bruce  Hoffman and Jacob Ware of the Council on Foreign Relations provide an  overview of the incel movement as it stands today and argue that it has  numerous characteristics that make it especially dangerous."-Daniel Byman Incel stands for involuntary celibate. In other words, a men who are not able to obtain sexual relationships with women. These people seek to do away with all of the gains women have made. They are violently opposed to abortion, bodily autonomy and freedom to be with whoever you want to be with. They want to bring us back to the stone ages, putting an end to things like divorce and forcing monogamy on everyone. Yeah, that means men too. Incels are not only a threat to women. They seek to use terrorism to kill off men and women who do not apply with their dogma. This is not just some fringe group. An incel was arrested just two weeks ago for publishing a manifesto that stated he was planning on murdering three thousand people.

Do I have your attention yet?
