Why America’s 'misogynist incels' adore Vladimir Putin and 'modern-day Russian fascism'

During the Cold War, nothing angered wingnuts more than seeing a red Soviet flag. But these days, Russian President Vladimir Putin is admired by many wingnuts in the United States’ lunatic fringe MAGA delusion — including incels. Washington, D.C.-based journalist Natalia Antonova, in an article published by the wingnut website The Bulwark on January 5, lays out some reasons why Putin is so appealing to anti-feminist American incels.
The anti-feminist movement, which calls itself “the manosphere” online, contains a variety of rival factions. And those factions really hate one another. The PUAs (pick-up artists) favor an in-your-face form of patriarchy and believe that men should totally dominate women sexually, and they have a very low opinion of MGTOWs in the “manosphere.” MGTOW stands for Men Going Their Own Way, and MGTOWs are male separatists who have given up on women. As MGTOWs see it, feminism has made relationships a bad deal for men.
