  • Man Gets Woman And Fattens Like A Porker

    Where does the glory go?

    In my now not insignificant years of being in the world, I have noticed an alarming trend.

    Same guy just happier now. Wildly clearer thinking.

    This first began in my early adulthood when my good college buddy got a girlfriend by the middle of freshman year. He and I were on the same floor in the dorms. The girlfriend started sleeping over. She’d bring her friends over. The other guys would go stark raving mad and congregate in large numbers in this small room. I quietly resented the change in our floor’s dynamics and tried to stay out of it. The women would bring the most inane chatter with them. There was always some girl on the periphery that was being a slut – big source of gossip. The men would nod along in a daze or play Xbox or chitchat. I’d pop in but I couldn’t handle it. There was one young woman, Morgan, who in particular I felt just sunk everything to such a putrid level. I resented the change. In the early months it felt like the guys and I were building something. We were building what were supposed to be long-lasting bonds. We’d go on joy rides. We’d do all sorts of wild stuff. One of the main guys gets a woman and suddenly he’s the main guy and everyone is congregating around him and his girlfriend.

    At my university, there were co-ed dorms and lots of birth control freely available. I thought it was kind of psychotic and strangely scientific without fully understanding why. I started to read the works of Neil Postman and came across the term “social engineering” and then better understood all that was repugnant to me but couldn’t divorce myself from.

    The women invade the men’s space, terraform things to their liking, and the men go soft and doughy.

    Let’s cuddle on the bed and watch TikToks, Daddy Poopee.

    Women have a domesticating effect on men. That’s no secret.

    It’s the way that men respond to it that unnerves me.

    I write you from a firmly ensconced position of domestic bliss:
    -I am a father who practices peaceful parenting
    -my wife and I have been together for 16 years
    -my day-to-day concerns revolve around the needs of my family
    -I had to retire from politics due to health concerns and family considerations

    I go back and forth on the domesticating effect women have on men.

    This is from a recent livestream Stefan Molyneux did with his daughter where she did his makeup. Is this a good or bad thing? If I was in a will-to-power, I would automatically and reflexively say YES with contempt. But that’s just programming. I thought the livestream was funny. I guess his daughter wears makeup. If everyone is doing it, you leave yourself at a disadvantage by not doing it. I will say, Stefan is manipulating his SMV upwards here by wearing makeup and that’s a form of dishonesty 😉

    Would I ever do something like this? Hard to say. I don’t know – ask me in 20 years. Stefan is 20 years older than me. I’m so far removed from Makeup World. My wife stopped wearing makeup like six months into knowing her. She never felt right about it. She is lovely to me without it.

    Without his daughter and wife, Stefan wouldn’t be the person that he is. And I rather enjoy the person he is. He offers a genteel touch to the world that it so desperately needs. He’s British and has a theater background, which is a part of the charm – if you’ve read any Shakespeare you just kinda get where he’s coming from. Shakespeare lived in a fun world with far less government and zero multiculturalism.

    The way men respond to women’s domesticating effect is what unnerves me. There’s a privation men express in their over-enthusiasm to be tamed. Like they weren’t brought up enough and so they yearn for some kind of direction. Perhaps they didn’t get enough mothering and never sought to work that out in themselves before getting into a relationship. That’s probably it.

    Fockin’…

    I never ever wanted to take my cues from that direction. Despite rough health that has diminished me, I have always sought to reach out and up toward the stars. I’m not saying I haven’t changed relative to my wife’s maternal and nesting instincts. That’s an important part of being human. I’m saying that that’s not all there is to me. I am not subsumed by it.

    Rather than do the hard work of self-discovery, a lot of men leave large portions of their personality up to the effect that their marriage has on them. And if their woman is psychologically immature, they sort of live with that and let it be the way things are until things change on the woman’s time. They don’t permit themselves to feel impatient and dissatisfied with this arrangement.

    I never wanted that for myself.

    I have never wanted to live in reaction to someone else. That does not mean I don’t ask my kid with some frequency what they need, would like to do, or how I’m doing as a parent. The experience of the people around me is of vital importance to me. This is so much the case that when my health was at its worst, the family gave me the feedback that we should move south a ways to sunnier climes and I made sure we did just that.

    We are talking about a compass orientation. The typical situation with Western men is that the woman enters the room and all other considerations are dropped. I refuse to live this way. The main thing is the main thing.

    Men are broken by giving up the hunt.

    Women will goop men’s brains by cuddling them and encouraging them to watch TV shows. And let’s be honest, the word “encouragement” here isn’t actually what happens. They whine and blather about their “needs” as if they have self-knowledge when 98% of the time they fockin’ don’t.

    I don’t partake in this. Never have. Never will.

    Women are trained to be feminists and none of that programming is ever undone unless she runs into a philosophical, self-knowledgeable 🔥White Man🔥 who keeps the flame and burns away the programming, no matter the cost. There is a superstructure, a super-sophisticated curriculum women have been raised in and their every impulse is to be the water the seeps into the rock of the man and breaks him apart.

    The media landscape is so radically pathetic and meager. And that is where men take their cues from. And so they give up – quietly and to little fanfare.

    Happy wife, happy life eh, heheh? Happy daughter, happy totter, hoohooo.

    Men get a woman and they just give up.

    The quest is gone. No search for the Holy Grail. Just cummies and rubbies. Snackies and whackies.

    Who still yearns?

    I cannot hide my disgust response.

    It’s a bitter disappointment to see so many men step off the path. Over and over, my whole adult life has been seeing men do this.

    Men’s hormones are getting wrecked by modern pollution and guys just unconsciously accept it and lose frame. Their women help them. The wildness goes out of the man and he forgets.

    Men are so cowed that they forget the glory of the past (liberalism). Or men get into these clever arguments with themselves (aspects of libertarianism) that they forget what drives them and animates them in the first place: to build, to spread virtue, to expand, to perfect justice, to fly.

    I won’t do it. And yet I am happy, fulfilled, and my home is peaceful – full of love. It’s a good situation. You can have it all in this life.

    I know how it’s done.

  • War With Iran Appears Inevitable

    More American wealth is set to vanish.

    I’m going to set up my commentary a little bit, so bear with me as I dump a few negative headlines on you – ice bucket challenge style.

    The Bush Administration said the invasion of Iraq would cost $50-60 billion.

    The actual cost?

    The Costs of War Project at Brown University’s Watson Institute (a widely cited nonpartisan source) estimated around $2 trillion for the Iraq War alone in earlier reports, with more recent analyses (covering 2003–2023 operations in Iraq and Syria, including anti-ISIS efforts) putting the figure at about $1.8–1.9 trillion to date, rising to roughly $2.9 trillion when including projected future veterans’ care through 2050.

    American wealth is going going gone…

    Long-term costs, given healthcare obligations to veterans, approach $6trillion by some estimates.

    Now tack on another 40% to account for fraud.

    The Kushner/Netanyahu war against Iran will be much the same. It is truly a sight to behold to watch an unelected cabal of foreign businessmen traipse around American military sites as if they owned the place:

    You think they’re discussing how they’re going to deliver for the American people?

    After all, they do own the military sites. Rather, they are direct representatives of the people who do. If you interrogated them after a police arrest, they would probably admit as much without blinking an eye.

    Check out the current US national debt. This is the money that is owed to the R*thschilds, Chinese banking cartels, Japan, and various other elite conglomerates:

    The Federal government spends a million dollars roughly every 17 seconds.

    Having been raised by an award-winning accountant and a trained, professional scientist, I know the importance of the financial figures. They cannot be handwaved away.

    America’s liabilities exceed $180trillion.

    Trump has been directed to open a US Board of Peace which is basically a real estate group that looks to make upwards of $50billion on the seaside land that the United States just helped Israel level and empty of human life.

    Let’s check in on public sentiment regarding the Board Of Peace.

    Three weeks ago, the Vatican was invited to the Board Of Peace but declined:

    The new Pope isn’t exactly based:

    It’s worth noting that Trump did not campaign on the Board of Peace and that the $10billion “set aside” for the board and Gaza’s real estate development was literally conjured out of thin air.

    Alright, done with the headlines – on to the commentary.

    The recent Venezuelan venture done under the goofy auspices of the Monroe Doctrine, Operation Southern Spear, cost US taxpayers approximately $7billion plus ongoing security commitments in the region.

    Have you seen the price go down at the pump?

    No, you haven’t because all that Maduro oil is languishing in hoc for whatever reason.

    The hope with Operation Unalive The Mullahs is that it will be a decapitation strike. The Democrats are pouncing on the political opportunity by attempting to shutdown Trump/Kushner’s military buildup in the Middle East:

    Strip Tromp of all his powers heheh

    I don’t like the Mullahs. The Ayatollah is a Black Lives Matter guy:

    And he’s probably not an ally, he just said these things cynically to oppose “the Great Satan that is America”.

    A part of me would be relieved for total outcome conclusion in the Middle East but we all know it will never end until the entire planet is completely subjugated.

    Nest cameras are here. Drones flying by your house will be deployed after a “national emergency”.

    Thankfully there is hope: Bitcoin is hanging in there after taking a walloping the past 4.5 months.

    People who want to project their power don’t want to hear about Bitcoin. Why? Because all State power is advanced by taking other people’s money for one’s own ends.

    That’s the accountant in me.

    The accountant don’t lie.

    The accountant is grateful you’ve made it this far and so here’s a cool pic as a reward.

    The Accountant 1 with Ben Affleck? Good stuff. Accountant 2 with the swarthy little brother? Not so much.

    If I was a betting man, I’d say that Bitcoin is set to go down another $20k but I’m not a betting man anymore and your guess is as good as mine. No one can predict the short to mid-term future of Bitcoin apart from figuring that war will drag it down another ~$9k or so, as it has done in each of the last 3-4 military engagements of the past ~6 years (including Biden’s war with Russia).

    A nifty way of looking at the baseline price of Bitcoin is that is near or just above energy cost. Beyond that, think of the people who are HODLing right now despite the mountains of Bitcoin FOMO being spread on the timeline. These people are doing what they can to hold the uncivilized world to account. That’s the idealism in Bitcoin. Everyone has their reasons for being vested in it. Some people see that the health of Bitcoin as the death of the creeping Leviathan.

    I will be appearing on these people’s show here in 2-3 weeks!

    I’m sick and tired of having to live with the decisions of other people, especially when they’re so inefficient at allocating capital that they force or defraud it out of others. Love the oil and gas guys. Love the organic food producers. Love Toyota for the wonderful, 32 year-old pickup they put into the world for me. Not exactly a fan of these bureaucrats in business suits brainwashing my fellow Europeans into going and dying in yet another Middle Eastern military engagement.

    I guess I’ll hope for a limited decapitation strike. Once the money’s stolen, there’s no morality in it and so then you’re just stumping for your personal interests. I guess my personal interest is that as few White men, zero if possible, die in any conflict with Iran. Of course, I don’t want anyone to die. That’s because I’m kind-hearted. That’s a turnoff for a lot of people these days because everyone’s minds have been gooped by short-form video content and a constant barrage of negativity via headlines (sorry I did that earlier to you).

  • Women Who Don’t Want To Be Wives

    We all know feminism has created millions of women who are married to the State.

    How can you outcompete ~$110k a year in welfare offered up to single moms? As a man, you have to earn like never before just to tempt a woman.

    A woman isn’t automatically cured of her feminism by getting married.

    There isn’t exactly a lot of quality assurance baked into society anymore. Multiculturalism, liberalism, the child abuse pandemic, and inflation have destroyed the pillars of the community.

    The community used to keep us honest to our values.

    No community = no values transmission.

    As a man, you have to ask yourself: is this woman wife material? Can she be cured of her feminism?

    I have a book that deals with these questions: The End Of Female Evil.

    If you truly love your woman, you will want to help her be disabused of her illusions. When you love someone, you tell them the truth.

    Wives who don’t want to be wives owe their loyalty to someone besides their husband.

    Here are some of the ideas they prefer over their husband:

    -my parents loved me and my childhood was fine
    -it’s good to have a job because my gal pal has a job
    -the current financial order is the same as yesteryear and so I’m entitled to spend
    -I’m really smart and so my efforts are best spent vexing you
    -my government job I had before you is going to last forever
    -my high school gal pals are forever and high school is forever
    -there are no consequences for my shitty behavior because the courts are on my side

    The common theme is the acceptance of messaging that, embedded within it, has an anti-male bias.

    You must remember how all-pervasive liberalism is in 2026.

    Thankfully, the old order is falling. Democracy is gay and dead from AIDS. Immigrants are smelly. Bankers have no clout. The military isn’t glorious or patriotic. Mainstream media is pathetic and behind the times. Movies suck. The food is poisoned. Blue light gives you cancer. The religion of the 20th century is gone.

    But within every person there is an essential question: how much of my personality is anchored in the old order?

    For the Boomers, the answer is 99%.

    For Gen X’ers, the answer is 85%

    For Millennials, the answer is 65%

    For Zoomers, the answer is 50%.

    Think of that: your wife or prospective wife has those exact odds, based on her age cohort. Millennials are passing out of breeding age, so we’re talking Zoomers almost exclusively at this point.

    50/50 chance she’s able to recover.

    If you don’t know how to undo someone’s programming, your odds are dicey.

    If you learn from my books and paywall content (kept gated to prevent AI from stealing my hard labor) how to deprogram someone, you have the winning edge. Yet, people’s insecurities go deep. Never underestimate the world’s ability to derail the progress you feel you are making in yourself or in someone else.

    Some wives just don’t want to be wives. And they’ll make your life difficult if you have a child with them. Children are not leverage. But tell that to a woman who was raised by the State, is loyal to some delusion, and undermines your good word as a husband.

    Guard your inputs.

    Women have lower boundaries than men. They get brain warped by programming more easily than men. Men have always been the ones to strike out into the wilderness and endure social disapproval in order to complete the hunt.

    Set aside your lovey-dovey enamor for a time in order to view the woman clearly.

    The vast majority of human communication is non-philosophical programming. Programming has been designed to plummet White birthrates. A woman has embedded within her messaging that is anti-maternal. Find it, work it out.

    And if you can’t, run run run the other direction.

    You are being lulled into a false sense of security by billionaire sophists. Their stormtroopers are the women. The women drive the growth of the State. They have been convinced of insecurity, through media programming, and so they will flock as a group to security – welfare.

    Personality is an infectious disease. Madness is transmitted through media. The higher the production value, i.e. the greater the capital base, the more legitimacy women will grant it. They want luxury. That’s the buffer from Stone Age privation. The Middle Class has been wiped out by people who voted themselves into the treasury. The Federal Reserve rules all.

    Keep on walking.

  • Clavicular And Looksmaxing

    There is so much government in America now that getting anything done is a completely suffocating prospect.

    Men are looking for their competitive edge.

    To some degree, women have become an extension of the State.

    You can’t fraternize with them because they’ll accuse you of rape – which means the courts will carpet bomb your life into non-existence even if you’re eventually found innocent. And there’s no counter-claim you can make.

    Think of all the economic productivity female evil wipes out.

    There’s no culture in America anymore because women have been hive-minded by the State into hating the best aspects of men: brashness, risk-taking, fortune-seeking, adventurousness, and the quest for glory. Can’t quest for glory if every woman that happens to spot you along the way can make up a story about your interactions and thus sink your reputation with all the other women (who enforce social conformity).

    Rather than the conformity to glory of the past, we have conformity to timidity and bitterness being enforced by la policia.

    The main drivers of economic decline are women-

    -women whose minds have been captured by the State.

    Some people see the hyper-statist environment and figure they can at least lean into the momentum and shift everything in a hyper masculine direction.

    The implication for this is that you retaliate against female power.

    This is how you end up with a figure like Clavicular.

    This guy mogs.

    He’s the top streamer in the country right now. He’s being featured in major mainstream media outlets and gets 10’s of thousands of likes on X for having random interactions with people that have great significance attributed to them. He is rewriting the rules of the dating market.

    This brings to mind plastic surgery rates among women in South Korea, which ranges from 1/5 to 1/3rd of all women, depending on the source you consult.

    There is a massive political divergence in South Korea with women sprinting to the left in favor of “gender equality” (war of the sexes Communism) and men trending toward the right because they sense their impending collective doom at the hands of… “Communism”.

    The UK men are like, “Oh shit what are we doing?”

    In South Korea, all manner of beauty surgery is common to women, including jaw reconstruction surgeries. The before and after can be astonishing:

    The same has been taking place in America, albeit at a slower rate, for close to 40 years in women.

    Men are catching on. Two can play this game.

    Clavicular may not be the first looksmaxer but he is the Michael Jordan of the game. He sets the standard for Lookism.

    Women let the cat out of the bag when they began getting cosmetic surgeries. They have no room to complain if men do the same and adopt their own kind of hypermasculinism in response.

    Women got to have their Kim Kardashian. Nobody turned their back on her when she and her mother released a “sex tape” and degraded social norms thereby.

    353M followers.

    Women don’t get to complain about Clavicular.

    If women are going to lie about their natural appearance, so can men.

    If women don’t bring the State down on him, Clav will likely outperform Kim Kardashian. She started LATE in her looks career – her sex tape released when she was already 27 years old. Clavicular is 21 years old.

    Here’s the funny thing: women will likely drive much of Clavicular’s explosive growth over the next 5 years. They all love a supremely handsome man and they don’t care how a man gets there. It literally doesn’t matter to them. If it did, cosmetic surgery wouldn’t be the titan it is today.

    Recent data from 2024–2025 reports indicate:

    • The U.S. cosmetic surgery market was valued at approximately $21–23 billion in 2024/2025, with projections for growth to around $36 billion by the early 2030s (e.g., Custom Market Insights estimates ~$22.6 billion in 2024 growing at 5.4% CAGR).
    • Women comprised 93–94% of total cosmetic procedures (surgical + minimally invasive), with men at about 6–7%.

    Lookism reminds me of Nazi Germany’s Heroic Realism:

    Arno Breker at work.

    Women are making it more and more difficult for men to join the gene pool. So if men have to even the odds remember: men didn’t start it but men will finish it.

    When I was a young man of 23, I put a shirtless picture of myself on my dating profile. I was slim-jacked, as I usually am (health permitting). I could do 50 chest dips in a row, no problem. I noticed a huge difference in women’s responses to me from when I had no shirtless photo up to a shirtless photo. I had some really good looking young women responding to me and I chose the one I thought was most virtuous and the best conversationalist (she’s also tested at a high IQ confirmed).

    My gym bod, intelligence, and general aggressiveness got me into the gene pool with a quality mate – the picture simply accurately reflected my aura. Of course, at that point, I did not need cosmetic surgery to tilt the odds in my favor. There are surgeries I could get to make myself look better but hey, I’m in the gene pool and it’s going swimmingly.

    Sex sells.

    If you’re not looksmaxing, I think you’re making a big mistake. You cannot wade into the weaponized dating marketplace without an edge. Does this entail plastic surgeries? I generally don’t favor them but there are always exceptions and edge cases.

    Remember, not all of it is “looksmaxing” necessarily. You may have not grown up with the best diet, the most attentive parents to your looks and appearances (which are markers of health), and you may have grown up with an exercise, sleep, or happiness deficit (nothing marks the face more beautifully than happiness). You are right to make up for deficits you experienced on the outside. If you grew up under blue lights in the public schools, consider what that did to you.

    But take fair warning: no amount of looksmaxing will compensate for a bad conscience.

    That said, what’s a conscience got to do with a homeland completely overrun by demonic foreigners?

    I think men can always improve themselves by 2 to 2.5 points by hitting the gym hard, getting their teeth straightened and mewing, and taking a few supplements – whether for thickening your hair, livening up your skin, or making your workouts more effective.

    Some will complain that looksmaxing is “sociopathic”.

    Maybe White men should become a bit more “sociopathic”.

    I am learning to become more tolerant of Western Civilization “biting back”.

    The virtue of sociopathy? That’s an interesting one.

  • Walk Toward The Fire

    Philosophy’s encouragement.

    This week has been a brutal week for America:

    –the Supreme Court has struck down MAGA tariffs
    -Trump has directed the Secretary of War and other relevant departments to begin releasing government documents regarding alien and extraterrestrial life to distract from…
    -the DOJ has refused to release any more documents or footage related to Jeffrey Epstein despite speculation that it may have only released 5% of the total
    -the largest massing of American forces in the Middle East since 2003 has taken place, with limited aerial strikes on Iran expected in the coming weeks
    –Democrats have an 83% chance of winning the House in the midterms

    The job market is sour:

    MAGA has been sold out, abandoned, and left to the wolves.

    I ran a poll to see what you guys think:

    Personally, I’m split but I like to stir the pot a little and so I voted Yes.

    What is the average guy to do?

    Walk toward the fire.

    All there is to do is serve the good.

    This is most immediately possible in your personal relationships. What is the quality of your personal relationships? Are you missing anyone that could be brought into your circle? Do you owe someone an apology? Do they owe you an apology? Do you have quality conversations on a regular basis?

    It is important to remember with some frequency these essential questions.

    I like this Andrew Breitbart quote and circle back to it infrequently…

    Be excellent even despite the ever increasing rates of taxation and theft via money printing. Town, county, and state governments have gone completely apeshit.

    Be excellent even if you are discounted, mocked, attacked, vilified, sexualized, stricken by illness, overburdened, underappreciated, so on and so forth.

    Have you checked in with your people? The people who share your values? Are you isolating out of fear? What’s your upper body strength like? Have you done some squats recently? Have you gone and grounded your feet on the bare ground recently?

    If you keep walking toward the fire, whatever that is for you in your life, you can be assured there will be strenuous challenge involved. But what else is there to do? If you don’t do what you were put here on this Earth to do, you will fall into despair. If you cannot spread virtue in this life, you are a net drain to everyone and your conscience will torment you – even if the power structure rewards you amply.

    There is little gratitude in this life for doing the right thing. Just little drops of it once in a while.

    Gratitude in droplets.

    The people running things see us as tax livestock. Their work, as they see it, is to demoralize us as completely and totally as they can. They make their bizarro displays of eerie dominance because their predatorial instincts tell them their symbols grant them power. For whatever reason, it is in our primordial programming to recoil from such symbols.

    These masks are meant to terrify the inner child into submission.

    The Epstein files show that Jeffrey Epstein was intimately involved with the Rothschild family. He had unlimited access within America’s borders and it seems to have stemmed from this association. He interfaced with all the top intelligence agencies with ease and at one point appeared poised to buy the literal Pentagon.

    If you harken back to my article The Sea Of Negativity:

    You know where you go if you need negativity.

    Negativity sells. Follow the money. The more power and influence in a degenerate system, the more negativity.

    Finding positivity is quite the feat. Positivity is elusive.

    What good can come from any of these people? What good can come from a President who has been bedfellow with some of these people?

    Rather than wait around for results, do what it is in your life that you are avoiding:

    -lose the weight

    -make time for your kid

    -ask the woman out

    -make the cold call

    –send in the donation (your conscience will thank you)

    -speak out on what’s going wrong

    Your conscience will tell you what the answer is, the moment you ask the question, “What is it that I’m avoiding?” Philosophy is about asking the right questions. You get to the right questions by knowing how arguments are formed, how feedback is collected, and how to determine what is truth from falsehood. Without a study of philosophy, you are completely lost to happiness because you haven’t the ability to form the essential questions.

    Make the time for philosophy in your personal life, your time off from work, and watch your effectiveness increase.

    But be prepared for the fire.

    Sometimes it do be like this.

    Spreading virtue can be a thankless job. Worse than that, it can get you crucified if you do too much of it. Moderation in all things.

    I used to think the proverbial Pain Box was limited to just political action. If you exercised a will-to-power, to dominate and subjugate others, you’d be enclosed by the pain box. But standards have dropped so low and so fast that honestly, even just showing up for work or paying bills on time has appeared to give people this experience. The disaffection is near-total. How could it not be?

    “They’re farming babies while the slaves are all working.”

    The revelations of the past two weeks have painted the grimmest picture possible. And a huge majority of people, because of their addiction to violence and their hatred of children, are in on it.

    All the more to raise yourself up. Why wallow with the rest of them?

    You were born into a situation not of your choosing. You were born into a slave field overseen by the most vicious and nasty verbal abusers yet to date, oh and they have AI now. The Internet has been invaluable for human freedom but it has also been used by the predatorial elite to entrench and upskill their sophistry and wealth extraction.

    Don’t separate from the good in life because you are discouraged. Take heart in the good things you have going, whether they are natural gifts, good health, a decent sleep schedule, a meaningful friendship or two, a loving family, good exercise habits, a good diet, or a job that augments your value to others.

    Don’t count yourself out because you have not attained acclaim or security in the service of virtue. These are the most fleeting of possessions because they are at total odds with the prevailing order. Such a thing wasn’t possible by the late 1950’s. America saw a spate of traditional Christians retire from public life because they were so fed up with the subversion they were witness to. There is no “retirement” possible now – only to march steadily forward in service of future generations.

    Don’t let the financial elite get you down.

    The prison bars are already legion. Don’t add any.

  • Is Christianity To Blame?

    Per the downfall of the West.

    There are a few lines about Christianity that have been floating around on the X timeline in recent years:

    -Christianity worships meekness and so no wonder more aggressive religions are dominating

    -Jesus Christ is actually a revival of some ancient pagan savior figure, look at the numerology

    -Christianity was the prevailing orthodoxy of the West as it was subverted, therefore it must be confronted with something antithetical to its values for it to get a grip

    I’ll give my response to each of these points.

    1) Meekness:

    Teehee oh fiddlesticks hopefully no one bullies us!

    I remember going to Kiwanis as a kid a number of times and thinking to myself at the time, “Everyone is so nice.” It was disorienting to me. I didn’t have the words at the time. There was a disconnect between the usual testiness and aggravation parents showed their kids in the home and the cookies and ice cream pie way they were at Kiwanis.

    I remember going to many LDS functions as a teenager and it was even more intense. I remember a girl I liked having a bad weekend because her father slapped her across the face on a Friday and on the Sunday everything was love-bombing pumpkin pie while she was still smarting from the trespass. You were just supposed to pile in the van with all your other LDS siblings and go off to happy camp all day. I was so confused by this.

    I remember going to Wednesday night Youth Ministry at the Catholic Church and group discussion time had a little bit of venting about your home life. Our youth minister Mike would listen to a bit of it and talk to people’s parents. That was the extent of it. I don’t know that this was systemic. Seemed more like it was a Mike thing, who is still the youth ministries director at my hometown church. What a kind man.

    Some Christian churches have gone totally off the deep end. I don’t understand why. I haven’t dug into the doctrinal differences that would lead to these extremely goofy logic fractals where you somehow can have Stormtroopers dancing Gangham Style under a lights show. Many millions of Americans across the Bible Belt rock out to Jesus in these mega churches. I don’t understand it. I’ve attended a number of services at churches like these and it just bewilders me. Feels like I’m experiencing the madness of whoever is in charge of the show.

    2) Ancient Pagan Numerology Stuff

    “Jesus was a rehashing of this guy, mon. 9/11 was an Inside Job!”

    When someone tries to rope me in on, “Jesus was an inside job!” my eyes glaze over in boredom. This seems to me the kind of stuff massively underemployed, intelligent but anti-social people get into. There’s all kinds of goofy Internet rabbit hole stuff people get into essentially because America has no manufacturing base and women are in the workplace. Used to be you could work a job, buy a muscle car with a summer’s wages, buy a house with four years’ wages, and Boomer it up. Now you have to finance trips to the restaurant and become an expert dietician so you don’t face unexpected medical bills. There has to be a middle ground.

    I tend to be able to spot spergy people from a mile away.

    Time to stop for a moment and ask you to send over a DONATION. Help me keep my independent voice in the world. Your support means more goodness spreads through the world. Do it, donate!

    Back to spergy people.

    The unabomber wrote about leftists being “over-socialized” and this resonated with a lot of people. There’s nothing wrong with tremendous amounts of socialization. That was, in fact, the world before WWI. People born in the 1880’s were the last people to receive lots of natural socialization – meaning socialization within a free context. The “over-socialization” of leftists must be considered within the context of broad spread institutional capture by the Left, which happened throughout the entirety of the 20th Century. Leftist socialization should be differentiated from free association.

    People who’ve had too much input from the Internet have a kind of wimpiness about them that I don’t like. It’s not only that but I think that heaps of verbal abuse tends to drive people toward the Internet, which gives them easy acceptance. I believe in balance in all things: have good people in your life, get information from good online sources (anything the Australian or Euro governments would shid and piss about), work out on the regular, work full-time if you’re a man, mother full-time if you’re a mom, cut dramatic people out of your life, practice self-reflection, starve the Leviathan. This will give you a good balance. The love and consideration of a virtuous person is worth much more, in input terms, than dopamine rush info rabbit holes on the Internet. Spergy people, who have been verbally abused or just big league neglected growing up, tend to not have this balance in their lives. And so they try to pull others into their impotent cul-de-sacs of irrelevance and emotional privation. I’d rather put on some Billy Joel.

    Me when I get good sleep.

    3) Spook the SHIT out of Christians so they change

    This one is a bit more niche but the spirit of it is out there.

    This supposition that Christianity is this abomination because it oversaw the downfall of the West is one of those non self-knowledge answers that sounds cool. Why did the West decline? Everyone has their answer. Some people say it’s because of the Reformation. Some people say it’s because of outside religions. Some people say it’s because of socialism. Nobody wants to talk about the lot of children in this world.

    You can’t borrow hundreds of trillions in unfunded liabilities from the future and say you care about children or future generations in the same breath.

    You also can’t institutionalize public schooling and claim to care about children. The more you cede your children to forces outside of the home, the more screwed up they will become and the whackier their politics will become.

    People have all these whacky politics these days. Nobody is bread and butter. Nobody is a well-fed hoss.

    Who needs trouble when you’re a big old chonker?

    Can’t be an overly neurotic power seeker if you’re a big hoss. Big legs, big butt, big heart.

    Somehow it’s Christians’ fault that they were confronted with a playbook they hadn’t really dealt with in 400-500 years that was suddenly sprung on them because of advancements in mass transit?

    That doesn’t make sense to me.

    I think when someone says you have to spook the shit out of Christians, they’re just telling you they’re used to verbally assailing their kids, if they have any, for long periods of time. Or they’d do this if they somehow were able to join the gene pool. Same for people who say the West “deserves a time out”.

    The one thing I’ll say is that Christianity posits that all humans are “ensouled”.

    I just don’t think this is biologically true. I remember the hubbub a few years ago when some aid worker went to some distant tropical hellhole and came back swearing that the people there just literally did not have prefrontal cortex function. They had no conception of the future and so didn’t plan for it.

    Christianity went through this period of time of colonial expansion where Christians thought they could bring people over to the Way, the Truth, and the Light. I think it failed utterly miserably and not only that, managed to stoke up a bunch of vengeance because of course uncivilized and backwards people would irrationally strike back at the hand that fed them for 200 years. Don’t feed the wildlife!

    I don’t think all humans are ensouled. I think IQ disparities matter. This is not codified into Christianity in any meaningful sense. If you had basic brain scans of the amount of damage people accumulated from their cruddy parents along with some measurement of frontal lobe function, you could exclude brain-damaged people from society with ease. This would lead to a Renaissance that would outstrip Florence and the Medicis a thousand-fold. I wrote about such a society in an unreleased novel from ~2019.

    Some of my adult life has now been spent in or near Salt Lake City watching it turn slowly into a Third World shithole because LDS believe every 3rd worlder with a pulse gets to have their own planet in the afterlife. Now you have Pacific-Islander gangs run amuck, whole city blocks of literal Muslims with baby strollers, and half the valley is Mexican. Hey, but a small minority of them sometimes attend their neighborhood ward. Worth it!

    I’ll leave further commentary for another day. I appreciate you being here with me.
