I firmly believe anger is a form of cope. The evolutionary purpose of anger can be described as a motivational catalyst or agent for changing an unfavourable situation.
Often the reason we get angry is as a response to unfavourable surroundings or seeing others surpass us, this tends to indicate a negative impact on our potential to pass on our genes and so we evolved to experience anger in response; The brain actually makes the situation more unpleasant for the subject in an attempt to galvanise his will to escape from it. In other words your brain is making you feel bad in order to make you fight harder for more favourable prospects for your genes’ survival.
This is much like how the brain exerts physical pain (another unpleasant experience) in order to protect the subject from physical harm, no one likes pain, but it is necessary to detect and thus prevent serious injury.
These processes serve their evolutionary purposes until they meet an evolutionary dead end; a situation where there is nothing that can be done in response to the unfavourable situation (i.e. inceldom) anger in this situation has no use, because despite the motivation it engenders within the subject, the subject is of a limited capacity to improve his situation, but the ‘anger tap’ doesn’t recognise this, and cannot simply be turned off.
It is much like how chronic physical pain can become debilitating over time and actually weaken a subject in the long one, it has overstepped its evolutionary purpose because a person with a bad back or lost limb is an evolutionary dead end in a Palaeolithic context and thus the process that was designed to protect them, having detached from its original purpose, actually begins to cause them harm.
This is the situation incels are in with anger and hatred, it runs havoc through their systems because it doesn’t have an effective outlet through which they can pursue the improvement of their lives. Yes it can be channeled through gymcelling and workmaxxing but these are merely deviations from its fundamental objective and ultimately it is doomed to foster itself until in many unfortunate cases the subject is consumed and it forces its way out like we have seen happen with multiple mass shooters like ER.
