I just came across this Economist article, which talks about the rise in the number of individuals cutting family ties — something that is historically unprecedented. The article implicates the rise in individualism as the primary cause, now that people are less patient in dealing with perceived impediments to their happiness. Self-help literature and internet message boards are amplifying this by encouraging questioners to cut ties with problematic family members.

I believe that MGTOW is either directly part of this trend or a reaction it.
Errr, I gotta tap a new sign of mine now. Attachment Issues. You've got very broken people who don't even realize that they are or even know how and why they could possibly be broken asking each other for "help" and thinking that they'll actually get it when what they'll actually get is the exact opposite. For instance, most "MGTOW" people's advice amounts to advising broken men to embrace and amplify the behaviors that are the result of their attachment issues. The exact opposite of what they really ought to be doing!

MGTOW, Feminism, PUA, Atheism, the list goes on and on but it all has a single root, Attachment issues. It really all started in the 60's, though the foundations for that were forged in Weimar. I'm a bit spent at the moment so I cannot go into further detail but if anyone wants me to when I've got the gas to spare ask and ye shall receive.

To put it bluntly: We are all very broken people living in a world that was broken by intention of our "rulers" for very dark yet logical reasons. Another harsh truth: Once you fully get what those attachment issues mean and result in. You'll feel quite bad for "hating" the people you did/do right now. Just warning ya.
