This article.... makes me sad. Guys aren't getting laid, so why maintain and contribute to society?
I made a comment on this before:

Your primary desire is to find a woman, yet all your investments that you made into society yielded no such return. Except for food and shelter, the vast majority of your time was taken from you, while never truly giving you the thing you need.
As such, the most sensible course of action for you to take is to become a minimalist. That way you make sure that nobody get more of your time/recourses than the absolute minimum. I.e. The less you "sacrifice" for society, the less taxes you pay, the less can be stolen from you.
A problem that I see here on the forums is that we, as a group, are self-selected. Members on this forum are generally independent, mostly successful with women, and most of us have our shit together to some degree. Consequently, a lot of us simply don't see how
dire the situation has become for most avarage men.

This isn't a surprise. On the forum I think we often overlook the fact that most of us are a rare breed.
This is exactly right! The problem here is that most of us simply don't see the other side of the fence! Most of my former (high) school friends I am still in contact with are now approaching 30. The most taboo topic never talked about in these groups is relationships. I can only collect data points through anecdotal evidence and a decade of observation:
At least a third 30% (!) of my former schoolmates have
never had a girlfriend or a serious relationship of any kind!
That group of men gets by on beer, bbq and br0-culture, and video games and/or American tv series. They almost all work in some low-wage job or welfare, giving fuckall about what is going to happen in the next 10, 20 or 30 years.
They are, by definition, MGTOW, without even realizing it.
Not all of them had troubled childhoods, and even though most live by themselves by now, they invest zero effort into self-improvement or advancing themselves in life.
They are exactly as described in the article - minus being "beautiful."
I am preparing a series of posts pointing out the root causes for this development, but if you need a hint for the real driving force behind this process, then the mouse-utopia experiments should give you a hint: Overpopulation.
