Plenty of posts on the Internet exist about the five stages of grief, as they apply to the Red Pill and women, such as https://therationalmale.com/2012/07/25/the-5-stages-of-unplugging/.
What some guys fail to do though, is to apply the same mindset to things beyond women, such as politics.
Let's run through an example to demonstrate. A typical moanosphere manosphere one now is to "save Western Civilization."
- Denial - "I don't believe you. Western Civilization is fine."
- Anger - "I can't believe this! Western Civilization is DOOMED! I've got to wake everyone up by posting on the Internet! If you don't help me you're a cuck!"
- Bargaining - "I can't wake up everyone. But a few people can change history!"
- Depression - "I can't wake up enough people to turn it around. Sigh ..."
- Acceptance - "The West may be ending, but whatever, I tried. Now, how do I enjoy the decline?" -> https://www.amazon.com/Enjoy-Decline-Aaron-Clarey-ebook/dp/B00AY5WUY0
Sadly, even some highly respected Gamers who are at the fifth stage, when it comes to women, are still stuck between stages two and four on politics. Some reasons why include:
- They've exhausted posting about Game, but their finances, ego, and/or self-purpose depend on posting anyway.
- They'd rather feel something strongly - typically anger - rather than feel the more neutral nothingness of acceptance. (Such a desire to feel is actually ironically quite feminine.)
Unfortunately, just as guys stuck on one of the first four stages on women can't be saved, and can only save themselves, so too it is with guys stuck on the same stages with regard to politics.
I can now accept that.
