Exactly. The real reason the Red Pill content exploded with young men is because of SEX period. That's it. It's not even about marriage or stability. It's about feeling left out of hookup culture and getting laid.
Every young man desires to get laid and, when they don't, they start looking for tips on how to do it. Then, it leads them to a rabbit hole in which there's some deep rooted societal issue that explains why they're not getting laid. That's the real reason for its explosion in popularity albeit there are good self improvement channels in that space that cater to a different target audience.
And, like you said, the nature of the hyper-capitalism of America means that men who haven't spent time preparing for the rat race will suffer the consequences of being left behind.
There's certainly a conversation that can be held about how to balance socialism and capitalism in a way that can offset some of this. But, ironically, Red Pillers are such Right leaning/"anti woke" shills they wound up simping for hardcore capitalism and bashing socialism even if their own target audience isn't thriving under hardcore capitalism. Go figure.
As I said before, though, the notion that a feminist or liberal can stop young men from applying to any field they desire to get into is just fantasy garbage.
If ex-convicts can enter programs that can give them jobs, so can young men. The barbers are begging. The plumbers are begging. The truck drivers are begging. The Air Force is begging. The auto mechanics are begging. The medical field is begging. The warehouses are begging. Amazon is begging. Culinary schools are begging. Hell, even H&R Block is begging.
No blue haired dyke on Twitter can stop you from applying and getting a position there. It's ironically "feminine" to even insinuate this. :mjlol
And, like I've said, I helped young men in real life with education and employment. So, I'm not talking down but I'm talking realistically.
If a young man stayed underemployed or unskilled for all of his 20's, then that's simply a voluntary decision that he'll have to pay the consequence for.
It's deeper than just economics tho. I saw a chart that shows a direct correlation between education and inceldom i.e. men with just a high school dipoloma where the least likely to be incels, men with PHDs are the most likely. There are exceptions but I think it's safe to say most men with PHD's are doing well for themselves financially.
You got to remember women are going for what they are attracted to and while money plays a huge factor especially after 30, there are less tangible things like social status, charisma, "aura", swag, being the leader of your friend group, etc. From 18-25 those factors are far more important than money. There are dudes making 300k at Google that can't get laid unless they pay for it.
Getting men to make more money is relatively easy if they put in the work and have a long-term plan. Becoming a man that women desire isn't quite as straight forward and it will be harder for some men than others regardless of them being a good dude, or intelligent, hard working, etc.
There are good women (on paper) who like scumbag dudes and dudes with high social clout (life of the party) because those men get their coochie wet. You can get young women without clout but you better be exceptionally handsome and/or entertaining. We can be honest and tell men to either become more like those men, try to find one of the minority of young attractive women who don't like scumbags and popular men from 18-28, become a passport bro or do the sugar baby/escort thing.
