Blaming others for your issues is a problem. These guys are just dialing their own problems and insecurities up to 11 and saying someone else is at fault.
Yes, blaming others for their problems is not productive. And taking out their frustrations violently deserves nothing but condemnation.

Still, this is a social issue that we can't simply ignore. Societies with lots of unattached low-status men tend to have problems. We're becoming a society where marriage, and long-term monogamous relationships, are no longer the norm. Young adults today live in a world where the high-status men have lots of partners, and low-status men have none. Women have lower numbers of partners than high-status men, but fewer women are entirely celibate. There are not only more alienated, low-status men than women, but alienated, low-status men pose more of a problem for society because men are far more violent than women. Especially young men.

We can mitigate the danger low-status men pose to the rest of us with the sedative trinity of video-games, pot, and porn. But as we see with these incel martyrs, just because low-status men aren't roaming the streets burning cars and mugging people doesn't mean they can't be radicalized into anti-social behaviour in other ways.
