The Incel Ideology: Roots and Radicalization

This one’s not your usual 10 Minute Murder. It started as a blog I wrote for the site, and a lot of people asked to hear it out loud. So here we are.

This is a more thoughtfully written piece than what I usually record... something I originally meant for reading, not necessarily narrating. But the topic matters too much to leave it on the page.

We’re unpacking the incel ideology. Where it came from, how it spread, and why it turned violent. What began as a lonely corner of the internet turned into a breeding ground for hate. We’re talking about real cases like Elliot Rodger and Alek Minassian, and what connects them.

It’s uncomfortable, but important. If we want to stop this kind of violence, we have to understand where it starts.
