How/Why do men become ‘incels’?

Perhaps this is partly the result of a desire, or need for, a homosocial brotherhood, a form of tribal collectivism, [in a process that may be facilitated by both the internet in combination with a frustrated testosterone tormented male adolescence], that …
provides [the promise of] comforting protection from the Monstrous Mother lurking in the shadows, threatening terrifying existential dissolution ) and this …
allows inevitable and incipient narcissism to flourish without the need for the protective fetish-object to mask the fear of the phobic object – ‘Woman’ or The Monstrous Mother – unleashing the will to destroy Her.
This may be, in part at least, a consequence of digitalised capitalism that ‘allows’ and makes visible all consumption – including that of the female’s, [Woman’s], life, without restraint.
Just like western Imperial ‘Forever War’, which providing a home for the the homosocial military ‘band of brothers’, the military family, esteem, and identity, emerges from the joint mission to hate, seek and destroy the enemy, without any need for an intermediate fetishistic substitute. The military become an unfiltered all consuming hate machine, providing identity and meaning, binding men, especially, together in their destructive enterprise.
The perfect soldier is an incel.
