What is everyone's opinion on those far from weak, artistic motivation, you too can become an alpha male, man's life starts at 30 videos that have propagated all over the place on YouTube? Although some of the advice is all right, and men certainly can improve themselves, they seem to just be more of the old tradcon "man up and do your part" crap that the blue pill normies push, as well as the old "you too can become an alpha male if you buy my 6 dvd set" grift. They also seem to be a subtle way to try and push men back into the dating and work market place despite them being such shit holes.
Problem is, why would any man take any risk in such a society or try and protect it? And why not become a criminal if a man "lives in the dark" and his only role is to grind? These arguments don't make sense based on past healthy societies, as healthy societies always tried to marry men off at a young age to keep them invested in society.
What say everyone? Is this some sort of grift, or coordinated attempt to push men back into society?
I'm not familiar with the exact videos that you're referring to, but anyone who says that anyone can be an alpha is grifter. A man's looks and height put a ceiling on his SMV, and if that ceiling is anything lower than Chad then dealing with women outside of honest pay to play arrangements is a waste of time. That's not to say that self improvement in the fitness and career fields is a waste of time, it's just that if you're doing it to attract women then you're setting yourself up to get betabuxed.
I think it's mostly grifters looking to sell shitty books/videos or their insanely overpriced "red pill coaching" services. The Red Pill is pretty much correct about how sexual selection works, but it massively oversells what it can actually do for the typical man who needs the information because of the SMV ceiling I mentioned above. If you're not Chad you're not going to come out ahead in any relationshit that you subject yourself to.
The smart ones tell men to improve themselves for themselves instead of for our rotting society. The LARPing tradcucks resort to shaming almost immediately, so they're easy to spot.
Based. This is the fundamental wisdom of MGTOW.
