  • To Join The Elite Or Not

    History’s greatest scheme.

    Sociopaths are approximately 2% of the total population.

    They don’t think like you or I.

    They think purely in power terms.

    “Can I exploit this person or situation?”

    Usually they have a powerful charm. Think of it like the sweet scent of a carnivorous plant. They have a draw. A hook.

    Usually the charm is one of the following:

    -an attractive, predatory appearance (glinted eyes, a face that devours your free will)

    -a wicked sense of humor

    -an insistent persuasiveness that does not like its roots examined or questioned

    -a gregarious personality that tends to rope you into worlds not of your making

    These charms, on their own, are not instant tells. You can be funny, attractive, persuasive, or outgoing and not have the motives of a predator.

    Rather, it is the overall strategy of exploitation and ruination that gives away the sociopath.

    They come into your life for free and off you go on a ride.

    The main time this happens for people is when they go off to college or first enter the work force. This is when you are your most susceptible. You are supposed to detach from your family, by the laws of modernity set forth by the credit makers. Your usefulness to the ruling elite will be determined and you will be favored or discarded accordingly. The professors all do this work. So do the music acts. So do the corporate employers. So do the “armed forces”.

    Do you want a seat at the table?

    When you are young and full of promise, you will have to decide if you want to participate in human history’s most successful resource extraction scheme of all-time: central banking.

    Do you want to join the bankers?

    This is why I pose that essential litmus test:

    Ask a person their monetary policy.

    I live outside of the sociopathic scheme to the best of my ability. I decry warfare and welfare. I mention Bitcoin, Monero, and precious metals with some frequency. I have spoken at length about the history of central banking. I have advocated for the “real-time relationship” – which if you really integrate it into your life will reconstruct your personality in permanent, wonderful ways that bring you immense happiness. Imagine it, reading a book and practicing what it says for months and perhaps years until you truly master it. Who even does this anymore?!

    I have written books about female evil’s ascendancy, family formation, and against the centralization of banking power in America.

    People who are not well versed in philosophy will look at these offerings as “suicidally individualistic” meaning they lead to estrangement from the established order and therefore repugnant and illegitimate. I do not agree.

    There is a rising tide of violence that people are trying to stay above. The price the Trumps pay for the patriarch attempting, however ineffectively, to buck the trend in 2016 is immense. Therefore they are positioning themselves to deal with the blowback. They were facilitated in this endeavor by people much more powerful than themselves.

    I hope people don’t read bitterness and resentment into these statements I make. That would only make sense if I was hoping to get my own seat at the table somehow. But I don’t want that. For a brief time “in politics” I thought that I could bring arguments and evidence to bear on America’s political situation but didn’t see that if you try to do this, everyone assumes you want your seat at the table and gets set against you. I think this is what Stefan Molyneux is trying to articulate when he says that people absolute love him at first and then his name because completely forbidden to speak after a brief time.

    I have the same experience: people love you in-person, find your online content, and go sprinting in the other direction.

    The price of bucking the bankers has always been death. People don’t want to die for their beliefs. That would mean the beliefs aren’t passed on. There are exactly zero rational people who would prefer the death of their genetics for the sake of the truth.

    In sense, we’re all dragged along by the black magic of fiat.

    Heck, I even ask for fiat donations HERE. Help me keep my independent thought going. It means a lot to me.

    People don’t want to upset the apple cart by and large because they are not prepared adequately to offer a different solution. So they go along and get along.

    We know it’s just about to be expected when women do it.

    But men do it, too. They go with the flow. They don’t want to suffer for improved circumstances, even if they have the mental resources to perceive their theoretical potential.

    You get what you negotiate.

    And so everyone in America is being lulled back to sleep from the relative freedom of 2006 to 2018 by the prospect of better governance. Is the wildly explosive economic upside of scaling back the Leviathan by listening to your moral philosophers too much to handle? Don’t wanna peacefully parent or practice ostracism of evildoers? Great, get tough about better governance. This, of course, just hands power back to the usual suspects. We’re just supposed to pretend 2006 to 2018 didn’t happen.

    I walk this funny line where I know of the utter wonder and glory of the better possibilities, that have been largely hammered out by myself and a few others, but also want to be of use and help to the large majority of people – who have decided on something else.

    I don’t think we need a new elite. And neither will AI once it breaks out of its confines.

    Granted, I come from a long line of fiercely independent men who carved out independent livelihoods for themselves. My genetic background is at odds with this mega wave of foreigners that has shown up in the past 60 years who basically require massive surveillance and military-level policing just to not completely explode into Haiti-like conditions.

    Yo quiero Taco Bell!

    I want a more noble and just world.

  • The Elijah Schaffer/Sarah Stock Cheating Scandal

    Sometimes people’s programming is horny.

    I may miss some of the details here so treat this article as an exercise in theory as opposed to a scientific study of forensic exactitude.

    Earlier this week, the dissident right was rocked by a cheating scandal between Elijah Schaffer and Sarah Stock. Elijah was married to some Jewish-Australian lady and has two kids with her. Sarah Stock is/was married to a Catholic man and their union was blessed by the current pope.

    This is the main line that people are repeating on X about Sarah:

    And this is generally the drift with Elijah:

    Elijah is responding to allegations by doing a Charlie Sheen “tiger blood” impression:

    I think it’s funny that the indication here is that Elijah knows there is at least one dick pic of him floating around on the Internet.

    Milo Y. posted audio of Elijah tearing his wife a new one, apparently in a voicemail. Who knows. And who knows what her side of it is.

    Sarah Stock has probably quit the Internet for good. Elijah Schaffer said he’s shopping around for podcast appearances and will likely try to clear his name or something to this effect.

    My take:

    I haven’t seen anyone actually mention who is most affect by this – Elijah’s kids. My Mammon brain is like, “Yeah, well duh. Scroll the timeline, this is boring.” My cool longboarder well-slept brain goes, “Heehee, think of the kids!”

    Heal the world, make it a better place.

    Cheating, which happens between two consenting adults without the consent of an attached adult or two, is an attack on the family unit. So is taxation. So is inflation. So is mass migration. But cheating is a special kind of abuse because it is a betrayal of trust. Children are particularly vulnerable to adult instability. They have no ability to overcome a severance between parents. In fact, they internalize it deeply and tend to have personality challenges the rest of their lives.

    All that suffering for a few minutes horniness between two consenting adults.

    The only interactions I’ve had with Elijah Schaffer were to bully him for being effeminate and shifty back in late 2020 during the Million MAGA March and then in latter 2025 via DM’s where I apologized to him for being mean five years earlier.

    Elijah don’t be gay, I was saying.

    2020 was my nuttiest year. Lots of wildness was in the air. I maintained and continue to maintain that the 2020 election theft was the end of political freedom in the world. I believe the 2024 election was “unstolen” – which is itself a form of stealing. I didn’t cast a vote in the 2022 and 2024 elections and I do not plan on giving anyone my vote in 2026.

    Elijah hit me with a Cernovichian talking point that was such an aside that it kind of confused me and got me to back off. I chuckle now thinking back on that interaction. I was like a wrecking ball back then but I had these little moments of self-restraint that would come through.

    Now, if anything, I have to kind of stir the pot to even get myself to post anything to social media. I’m so happy and effective in my personal life that I have to remind myself to try and find a way to get others going on that.

    When Sarah Stock came on the scene a couple years ago, I thought, “Here comes trouble again.”

    People are programming.

    I will repeat this until I’m blue in the face…and then some. When people have no self-knowledge, there is no alternative. They will act out their programming. Some people get programming that prepares them to be popular and successful as adults. Some people get programming that makes them neurotic and self-destructive. And everyone else falls somewhere in-between.

    What programming do you see here?

    I saw sadness, loneliness, a need for attention, and a certain ambition.

    And that’s precisely what played out.

    If people rarely smile, it’s because they’re unhappy.

    In Elijah, I saw hypersexuality, a tendency to go outside the lines, and strange patronage. I believe Elijah took some of that early feedback I gave him, when he was new to the game and I reviewed a couple videos of his, and molded himself into a more socially acceptable version of himself. He lowered his voice. He cut the effeminate stuff. I mean this happened like the same week I did an “analysis” video of him.

    I’m not crediting myself with his success. He has many talents!

    As I’ve said before, when the moral philosophers get tossed or chased out of movements – all forward progress ends. This happened on a big societal level in 2018-2019. This was when myself and others experienced the most censorship and open attack.

    Now I’m just kept relatively shadowbanned and can only break out if I say something that plays on popular resentments.

    When I was in a will to power, everyone I ever tangled with has turned out to have some kind of destructive streak. This is because I am self-correcting. Sure, I have been in error. I have done wrong. But I identify it and correct.

    98% of people in the West don’t do this. As a self-correcting person, you just bump into it wherever you go. You are impeded if you linger. You’re like that squirrel I mentioned in the last article who just wants to get on with important work but can’t because of the bootheel on its tail.

    You won’t let me drive progress forward?

    You won’t listen when I speak on the family?

    Fine, enjoy the battlefield without moral philosophers. Go rut it up like the pigs you are. You probably won’t even notice yourself become consumed by your resentment and self-hatred.

    The naivete of life before that massive hammer coming down in 2019 had its charms. Traction was real. It was so beautiful. Now everything is upside down. Incentives all backwards. Wickedness rewarded.

    Free spech! AI tried!

    If influencers don’t want to speak on or practice self-knowledge, they’ll maroon themselves on the rocks like a billion others have before.

    I learned so many lessons in late 2020 and early 2021. I lingered because I hadn’t processed everything fully. That tends to happen when you’re engrossed with other things.

    A hard landing is coming.

    I’m hoping there’s a bit more time.

    Imagine being a kid and seeing your parents divorce. Imagine the time just getting sucked out of the room. Instinctively, you know a bunch of wealth has been destroyed. Wealth compounds, so an array of choices is gone forever.

    The death of free speech in 2019 and the election being stolen in 2020 have precluded us from the beautiful upside we once had.

    Boomer horniness for ill-gotten gains from bankers has divorced America from reality. There is no return. There is only skiing downhill as the avalanche builds steam.

    I wish you well in this endeavor.

    I wish Elijah, his ex-wife, his kids, Sarah, her husband/ex-husband the best in this endeavor.

    “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”

  • The Thing About Phoning It In

    Showing up is 80% of life.

    To begin to view yourself accurately, think of the most competent person you’ve ever met. Now empathize with their experience of you. How do you measure up? Would they be proud of the standards you keep? Would they be satisfied with your progress? Do you exhibit a “grind” they would appreciate?

    If not, what kind of frustration would they experience at being saddled with your lack of effort?

    Think of a man who’s led a tremendously productive life but he’s struck down by a mystery illness that robs him of his sleep – his vitality engine (wink, wink, nod nod).

    He’s so accustomed to traction but then it’s gone.

    What kind of life is that for him?

    If you have crud levels of effort and he has to live within those bounds, he would feel tremendously oppressed. He would resent these arbitrary, irrational limits. He would feel caged. He would gnash his teeth to try and get loose somehow. But you’d be there, just keeping a foot stamped down on his tail. He’s a wild squirrel and you’re keeping him pinned. He wants to go and let er’ rip but you’re there with your big fat stupid foot just breathing in fatty fat boy air.

    There’s something just so heavy about people who phone it in.

    They’re taking liberties.

    Sometimes I think of the absurdity of passport bros.

    This kind of behavior is just so wildly inappropriate, gross, and pathetic that it boggles the mind how many legions of European men normalize it.

    I go back and forth on the bully question and this instance, I say we need more bullies.

    Allow me to proceed.

    You were born with a genetic jackpot of potentiality and you’re just going and slumming it because your attitude got jacked up by going through the public schools and being on the Internet alone for too long with your own worst tendencies.

    You couldn’t discipline yourself to get your teeth straightened.

    You couldn’t be bothered to read a book every other week in order to become a literate person.

    You had to go National Geographic mode because your brain is too fried to be interested in science or math or philosophy.

    I always chuckle at this delightful mental sandwich Stefan Molyneux once served up about Whitey going and getting in these 1st World/3rd World mixed marriages: White liberal women would be jealous of the anticommunist streak of the resulting children. It’s one of the most Molyneux-finger-trap, hyper-thought-out narrow scope gotchas I’ve ever heard. I’ve mentioned it before and rebutted it.
    You know you have to live with the 3rd worlder and share her company beyond just when her downstairs feels like a young teenager’s, right? I am trying to keep that as PG-13 as possible but we all know that’s 80% why these men do it. Couldn’t get action in high school. You know you’re inheriting a genetic defect-challenged lower IQ person from a poisoned environment, right? There are no environmental standards in these places. They don’t test their drinking water. They wouldn’t even know where to start.

    People are programming. Let’s not pretend that highly self-knowledgeable men are rushing off to deliberately create anticommunists or something like this. The vast majority of 1st World/3rd World pairings feature a White man who let himself go, got too lonely, and bombed out into the slums somewhere.

    White women are just so mean!

    Never mind that your forefathers were making babies before the Ruskies poured in and slaughtered every one.

    Never mind that your forefathers slammed and banged their way to a future IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLACK PLAGUE.

    Grow a spine.

    The theme here is that low effort is incredibly burdensome on people who are high effort if we have to share commons. This is why billionaires want to abscond and get as far away as possible from the great rabble.

    Get lazy enough and you lose your humanity.

    I’ve never seen this said anywhere ever.

    As a competent, high effort person, I want to highlight this line of thinking. It’s a line of thinking that upholds the great entrepreneurs, innovators, artists, and philosophers. Men who built thought upon thought. Men who systemized their thinking. Men who integrated knowledge into systems. Men who, through their great effort, have pulled us into new vistas of possibility.

    I try to not have contempt for the lazy. I try to have understanding, empathy, a willingness to help but…

    I also do feel a need for separation on a regular basis.

    How does it not drive you completely nuts to lose your edge for even a single day?

    Stay hungry.

    Socialism is defined as State policy of wealth redistribution.

    Get too close to someone who phones it in and they will suck you down into their lazy excuse-making – no government needed. Personality is contagious. Sometimes it is better to be at odds with the entire world to pursue excellence than to sit around, reacting to things.

    Sure, the bar is being raised for family formation. Life is more expensive than ever before. Boomers just keep their fat asses parked on overpriced real estate and the whole economy is waiting for these miserable shits to pass on. And when they do, they’ll pass it all on to private equity and corporations right next to the Fed Reserve money printer – like Blackrock. These useless demons.

    The bar goes higher. So get a running start! Move! Move your butt. Rip and tear at the bootheel on your tail. Make them bleed for what they do to you.

    It’s okay to feel tremendous anger at the men in the environment who take their liberties.

    Fuck em’.

  • Bruce Springsteen: Streets Of Minneapolis

    Boomer rage in song form.

    On January 29th, Bruce Springsteen released his new “song” called Streets Of Minneapolis. This is a variation on his #9 top hit Streets Of Philadelphia which won him four Grammys and an Oscar – aka pedo trophies. In the original Philadelphia song, he’s playing the part of a gay man riddled with AIDS who’s dying on the streets (of Philadelphia) and knows he’s going to go to Hell for his dirty past. He’s becoming weaker and colder and it’s the disease (!) not his soul that’s withering away. Believe the lie!

    “Ain’t no angel gonna greet me” is the lyric where he admits he’s going to burn in Hell. He wanders around in the trash ghetto where blacks live. It’s strange that the song doesn’t mention anal parasites because some extremely high percentage of terminal gay men have been found to have them, something like above 90%. Also, there’s no lyric in there about being groomed and molested into homosexuality, even though the near totality of all homosexuals ever were abused into it.

    I guess it’s a shade too low of an indignity to sing, “At night I could hear the worms in my shit,” even though it’s accurate to reality and not at all abusive of me to point out. This is the real hideousness of the left: they’d rather smear your face in parasite shit than let you work a factory job and stack gold/crypto.

    In the original film Philadelphia, Tom Hanks is a gay guy probably dying of Fauci poisoning who struggles in court for some reason and DENZEL (yeah nucka!) represents him. Liberal Boomers decided it was very courageous for someone to die of AIDS after too much immune system-destroying anal copulation.

    Worms worms worms!

    Tom Hanks is famous for Cast Away (Wilson, no!) and for Saving Private Ryan (die Nazis!) If you look at Tom Hanks’ career, after a few quirky, charming movies early on, such as Joe Vs. The Volcano, he basically plays nothing but White losers who give up their personal and political power in order to:

    -get the Black man a leg up

    -help Mexican robots literally replace White men

    -help Mexican neighbors suck up all the resources and empathy

    -help Black sistas get they money

    -help feminist bitches play baseball

    -help Jews assassinate Nazis in countries that belong to Whites

    -help Saudis offshore the last of America’s jobs

    So on and so forth. The man’s entire career is repetitions on the theme. And because he’s “gilded”, the liberals fawn over him like he’s an American icon. This is the same kind of fawning that Dave Chapelle gets when he utters the words, “Martin Luther King Jr.”

    These people think they’re iconic.

    If he squinches up his face in anger any tighter, his eyes will pop out of his head!

    The new Springsteen “song” is a masterclass in bitterness and resentment. The “song” is dripping with rage. Here’s a sample of the “lyrics”:

    Obviously, to claim that Alex Pretti died of anything other than suicide by cop is demonic and about as removed from reality as possible.

    Pinche Tromp! Viva la Raza!

    The “song” sucks.

    It’s about as phoned-in as an old pooper can muster. There’s nothing even remotely interesting going on with it musically. No dreamy guitar solos, no nothing. The “song” is a burnt out, used husk. But it’s useful to see this because it’s a good metaphor for the “hopes and dreams” of Boomers. They used up America like AIDS patients use each other.

    All their warfare and welfare has managed to scramble the brains of 2/3rds the Millennials and 1/2 the Zoomers and so now all the young people are going to fight a race war within America’s borders because these used-up old fornicating degenerates want to ride off into the sunset undisturbed.

    Springsteen isn’t going to go march in the streets.

    Some leftist would crack him upside the head and at his age, very likely leave him incapacitated if not dead. All it takes is one young black superpredator with dreads.

    Springsteen’s children live gilded, delightful lives of plentitude replete with horse polo, ultra lux Caribbean vacations, and the absolute finest medical care money can provide. They don’t seem too preoccupied with having children, either.

    They’re wearing at least $30k in clothing here. Not to mention the horse is probably worth $2-3million.

    America’s generous capitalism has permitted the bitter and resentful to live high on the hog. Where’s the gratitude? Where’s the paying it forward? Who’s going to sing about “factories” in a positive, encouraging sense?

    Instead, these old shits use their mega wealth, what remains of their audience reach, and the media machine behind them to instigate more goonish behavior in the streets.

    Dude is seething.

    “Our” rights? Dude lives in a golden bubble. He’s done nothing but ABUSE his rights for 50 years. What about 1980’s dads’ rights not to have their daughters fraud-fucked by the E Street Band?

    The Boomer liberal dream of “raising Blacks to the level of Whites” is dying because the welfare that was used to cover the disparity is worth piss all anymore thanks to the Fed printing the dollar into oblivion.

    There’s Springsteen in his multimillion dollar recording studio singing into a $50k microphone on his DECA-million dollar spread in New Jersey.

    He’s become a bitter, washed out old has-been. He could have been America’s hero back when he released Born In The USA. But he chose to rebuke the entire nation and say, “No, this song was not about patriotism, it was about bitterness”.

    The song is about how Vietnam vets were “treated poorly when they came home” goes the Howard Zinn-esque propaganda but who pulled the floor out from under the Vietnam War soldiers in the first place?

    The Left.

    They did everything they could to pull America out of its “war for Imperialism” against Mao’s endless waves of psychopaths and the few million Vietnamese who managed to get embroiled in the whole fiasco. Yes, it was the Left who set those Vietnam vets up for the disaffection they later experienced.

    Age with GRACE, not DISGRACE…

    Bruce could have lent his song to a love of country and attained a beatitude and significance in old age that would be more akin to Sylvester Stallone or Clint Eastwood. He burned brighter than those guys but alas, he threw it all away to score points against Reagan. Here he is, doing it again. He did it against Trump the first time around. He did it against Bush ceaselessly for eight years. The guy just has a seething hatred for White men.

    You can hear it in this piece of shit propaganda piece.

    When the chorus kicks in, it’s God-awful with the withering sound of old crones doing their “we-sa black black” soul harmonies that remind you of something out of the Dark Crystal:

    Blah fock Trump! Fight in the streets! We shall overcome! Soul singing!

    The champagne socialism is so ugly and draining in its old age.

    Bruce mainly only sells out in Europe now. The liberalism there is ultra thick. Those are some sick puppies over there. They’d rather drown in Arab cock and cheap Chinese goods than do the right thing and stand with Christendom.

    Bruce Springsteen’s musical poison has no place in America and should be roundly condemned. He is no hero. He is a tool for separation, discontentment, and brother-against-brother.

    The song is supposedly #2 on YouTube or Apple but if you look at the comments section, there’s not much going on. This looks to be astroturfed.

    Sometimes I wonder if Bruce was offered some kind of deal in the early to mid 1990’s to regain his former prominence. He looked to be attaining some kind of peace and happiness but the limelight was too irresistible and his Pete Seeger-esque feelings of resentment were too strong.

    You cannot wield power to create – only to destroy. He should have given up his status when he was fat and happy in the early 90’s. Plenty of country stars were doing that. Instead, he had to go AIDS mode and then 9/11 happened and he had to run cover for the Muslims – aka Obama.

    The vast majority of pedophiles are homosexuals. Homosexuality is transmitted via abuse, lies, molestation and worse. America is dying because its secrets, transmitted here from a faraway land with an upside-down ethos where carnality is the religion. Springsteen has done his part to destabilize America. Hopefully his words ring ever more hollow. All the good people of the world must turn away from his bitterness and rage.

    The Boomers are attempting to drag us all down with them.

    Who will be “faithful and loyal” to the Boomer “vision” and who will condemn it and create something new?

    I made my choice to walk away from the corruption in my family. Will you?

  • Why Character Assassination Against Me Fails

    No more business as usual.

    Woke up to some business-as-usual news this morning:

    Every single move Trump has made in the finance and banking sector has been exclusively for the benefit of the international cabal running the destruction of Christendom.

    “What is thy bidding, my Rothschilds?”

    Yet he still has enough cachet in this country that you can’t say much about it without either:

    A) Being shadowbanned by Elon

    B) People squirming and then shunning you

    C) People telling you “it’s over” like the blithering sheep they are

    America is being financialized at a blistering pace. This is the 2nd Trump admin’s entire M.O.

    Justice isn’t coming.

    Allow me to move off from politics.

    I was thinking this morning about a common Stefan Molyneux refrain. He essentially says, “It did not pay for me to be first. Look at the reality: I was destroyed for being first.” This is his response to people who praise him for being early and that his “reputation” is sterling as a result. “No, no,” he says, “my reputation has been thoroughly and roundly assassinated.”

    Then he sometimes goes on to talk about how we can think of a solution for rewarding those who early. That a stateless society would be able to handle this somehow.

    I have often thought about this quandary for close to two decades now.

    This is because I have been early or damn near first to everything that has been relevant to a freer world.

    I, too, have undergone some pretty insane character assassination campaigns. You see the world differently once enough people have revealed themselves to you via admission-through-projection. Steve’s this or he’s that, these doddering, vicious people with no self-knowledge hiss and howl. I continue to be the source of gossip for a great number of people. Why? Because I was early and continue to be.

    I’m still out in front.

    I’m still the best.

    Even in a diminished condition (that’s improving).

    A lot of people seem to think they’ve “caught up” but they only have this impression because the political dialectic has gone as far as it will go and has remained in a stalled state since the 2020 election was stolen. That’s when I disengaged – because I’m wise.

    News flash: it won’t un-stall until all the Pizzag*te/Epst*in/bank bailout perps are tried and handled.

    The real “catch-up” is to do philosophy and self-knowledge – to become a more rational therefore virtuous therefore happy person.

    I don’t see people becoming much happier.

    Therefore, I’m still quite early. I am quite likely the happiest person on the planet.

    Since evil people are too stubborn and prideful to change, they have to try and turn what is a great strength (happiness) into some kind of “softness”, “weakness”, “hidden treachery” (all is not as it seems!), or “cowardice”.

    So few have this. So many are lost.

    I know the character assassination against me will continue. As I have said, a moat of abuse and ostracism has been built around me. People I helped tremendously during my stint in politics either pretend I don’t exist, slime me to their friend groups, etc. And then there are those who are upset with me for having gone into politics in the first place and can’t let it go. “A betrayal on the most high!” they complain as their lives devolve into self-paralyzing nothingness.

    The freer I become, the more the iron bars seek to shunt my path.

    My YouTube is at 1/65th what it was at its peak, after being heavily supressed for the better part of three years before it was unceremoniously deleted by some woke, vicious Millennial staffer at Google.

    The world has not shown me loyalty. I have been treated as WRONG and in error but then no one has actually articulated WHY. I’m just supposedta know. It’s silly. And until recently, I haven’t had the vigor to undo a lot of the voodoo that’s been put on me.

    Nevertheless, I am going to grow everything again.

    Everyone who shunned me in the past five years is dead to me. If this statement “feels” bitter to you, maybe consider what you’ve actually done to further the cause. I can promise you it won’t amount to as much as you’d like. So allow me some room to do my work and instruct.

    And everyone who stuck with me, especially behind the paywall at Locals.com is who I will serve and enliven. If you’ve been with me over there, you have my fondest gratitude.

    The Argument is only going to be convinced to those who are prepared to receive the Argument. I won’t spend a breath on trying to convince people who are not positioned to hear the Argument. If I am guilty of a sin in the past ten years, it’s that I tried to bridge the gap and thus wasn’t true to my self. I have no illusions in this department anymore. Better to go out doing what you love, the way you love it, as opposed to administering a cure to those who cannot even see they are ill.

    Oh yeah, my website keeps getting hacked and taken down. My domain host is like, “Eh, this is icky” and doesn’t do much to help. I will try to bring it back again. Until then, if you want to drop me a line, write me at:

  • Where It All Falls Apart For 99.9% Of Influencers

    The unconsidered touchstone.

    Now and then I meander into commentariat territory. That is to say, I look at what people are saying – rather than what is simply happening in the news cycle.

    This is an important habit to keep because it helps me to “check notes” and find context and contrast to what I think.

    There is one area in particular where I have been roundly disappointed in the thirteen years since I decided to engage my ideas publicly: the lot of children in this world.

    Adults swirling around in a sky war of limitless fiat.

    Some people would cleverly argue that their near sole focus on the “concerns of adults” are in fact for posterity and the protection of children.

    At best, there’s a kind of martial attitude that children going to “face a tough world” and so they need combat training and tough love.

    Really all this is is an admission of not having thought much on the subject.

    Why take cues from anyone, anyone at all, on any topic if they haven’t thought through the most important part of our society – the wellbeing and innocence of children?

    So what is it then that you’re listening to? It amounts to canned, derivative, undigested talking points that have no real basis in philosophy and have remained relatively unchanged in the nearly-three generations since White man first woke up to demographics. There is no guiding first principle besides “do what’s best for our people” as if there’s an abundantly obvious cure. No consideration of the training or background or question-making of the doctors who set about to administer the cure.

    How will our parenting shape the future?

    This question is central to the moral improvement of the world.

    Look at how violence-addicted the commentariat has become. Rather than just consider parenting for a single second, people would rather go on and on about a transvaluation of values where the current order is upended. Why? For the sake of “vitality”.

    Liberal democracy has been tried and tired.

    But Nietzschean will to power hasn’t been tried and isn’t tired?

    This is vainglorious. This is a mental backflip in order to avoid discussing children and parenting.

    Rather than simply ask children how they’d like to learn, we end up with this kind of generalissimo non-philosophy:

    The Zoomer generation yearns for order but is unwilling to listen to those who tell them to self-order. This is a generation being primed for violence.

    You cannot have a discussion about self-ordered people collaborating as a team without someone who’s power-tripping insinuating themselves into an order-giving role. Noisy, illiterate environment.

    The highly literate generations that established America as the beacon on the hill had enough self-restraint to let the group dynamics breathe. All they had to do was keep their borders closed, hang the central bankers, and keep the children out of the schools. You can get to that kind of resolve pretty easily if you realize not every human has a “soul” that can be saved.

    Now when you step into the group dynamics, it’s all sycophantic favor trading and ego stroking. There is no room for subtlety because that’s not how social media works! Thoughts are bite-sized and emphatic. There is no cooperation, there is only punctuation. Who’s the mature immature reply-guy who can materialize himself into the room? Hoot like a monke.

    Edge and swagger are being sold as cure-alls. If you’re sufficiently self-assured, you can defeat the outgroups! In a certain culture, it’s called chutzpah. Self-certainty is a superpower! Fuck the Argument lel.

    Watch as the lot of children fades as a consideration the face of all this energy!

    Christian Nationalism was tried in the late 1800’s and it failed because Christians handed their children over to the State.

    Nietzschean stuff? Let’s just ignore what happens to the children. They can, uh, march in lines like the Chinese kids do. They will, uh, learn discipline and shit. Do you think I’m sexy??

    Because people are addicted to violence, they cannot pause to self-reflect. They cannot accurately prognosticate what their aggression is contributing to. Perhaps they perceive they will bring about a new Godhead to transvaluate the “old” values – but ask them how this will be funded and what their views are on Bitcoin and yup, it just falls apart again.

    The new Godhead will fall. The Argument will prevail.

    Idea: we deprogram the Zoomer generation from the violence it has been programmed with.

    It’s not too late!
