PATEK: “Racepill” as inceldom ideology

1h 29m | Jun 25, 2021

What is within and beyond our control? This episode considers a facet of inceldom known as the “racepill”. I chat with Patek, a redditor who describes his involuntary celibacy. Despite Patek's financial success he describes interpersonal aspects of his life as “abysmal”, namely being a virgin at 20+ years of age with which he attributes this plight to his ethnicity, specifically being of South Asian descent in Western society. We chat about hierarchies of attractiveness based on race and the objectivity of beauty juxtaposed to its subjectivity. Patek shares ‘rabbit holes’ he has ventured down leading to beliefs about ‘phenotypes’ thus putting language and ideology into place for the calculability of beauty and attractiveness or lookism as a basic tenet of inceldom as a worldview. Discussions include globalization, the cultural practice of arranged marriage, ideas about reducing men and women to objective scales; and certain ‘taxes’ associated with incels’ disfavoured attributes. We talk about pornography and masturbation in context of religion and the relationship between sex and violence. We conclude on the notion of perception being projection and question what it may require to shift toward an internal locus of behavioural control in which the adage of ‘mind over matter’ holds true.
