Ignore your Critics

While I think this advice may well be positively life-changing, especially for younger men, but men in general, let’s first point out some things that should be obvious to all, but probably aren’t, so bear with me with the disclaimers for a second.

  1. This advice is primarily for men. It certainly does not apply to women in anything to the same degree, and there are lots of reasons for this but let’s look at the main 2.
    • Women are solipsistic by nature, so they hardly ever take on board criticism, valid or invalid.
    • The social interactions relating to men are critical from both men and women, while the social interactions for women tend to be politely suggestive from men, or typically, completely positive gaslighting from other women. See this humours clip to understand.

As a result, the advice provided here applies to women only rarely.

2. General common sense (which is exceedingly rare) should prevail. Some criticisms are obviously valid, but these tend to be of the extreme nature pretty much everyone is already aware of, including the perpetrator (don’t rob little old ladies, don’t do drugs, steal, etc. etc. etc.) the advice here is primarily related to more general and widespread life choices, your career, job, relationship/s (of various types) and so on.

3. I am not your dad. Ultimately you make your own choices and suffer their consequences or gain from their benefits. Ultimately, all responsibility for your actions rests with you. This is ALWAYS the case. Always.

Ok, now that we got that out the way, let’s get into the meat of this.

For the most part, men, and moreso the younger ones, have been thoroughly dipped in absolute bullshit narratives from birth.

Now, don’t go feeling particularly special, everyone on this planet has been lied to massively from birth, about pretty much everything, and the only way you may begin to see some truth here and there is by studying history. Not the prescribed narrative you have been told to believe in primary school, and later all higher education, but rather the real history, as documented at the time. Do your own investigations into things that interest you. One down side of realising you have been lied to is that as soon as enough people begin to figure out the truth about a few things, like say:

And many, many, many other topics, you invariably get the screeching harpies of complete bafflegarble idiocy, lies, and outright intimidation based on getting you cancelled, fired, and demonised or even physically assaulted and killed. We are referring of course, to absolutely dishonest things like:

  • Antifa in any form
  • Social Justice being about any kind of Justice
  • BLM in any form relating to any kind of Justice
  • Feminism being a good thing
  • Flat Earth
  • Equality being real
  • Diversity being a strength
  • The immigration of “poor war victims” instead of fighting age males by the millions from cultures that are incompatible with the civilised west
  • All cultures and all religions being equivalent in morals, ethics, and civilising value

And on, and on, and on, of course.

On top of that, men have now been percolating in the nonsensical invention of radical feminists and cultural marxists: “toxic masculinity”.

Should you be a normal man, interested in, for example, hunting or exploring remote areas; learning to use weapons or practicing martial arts; studying historical conflicts, human biodiversity and different cultures; noticing the differences between men and women, and cultures and cultures, religions and religions, chastising weak, cowardly, lying men, and teaching your sons honour, courage, and anything from handling woodworking tools to shooting a rifle, you are most likely going to be labelled as some kind of violent monster that hates women, homosexuals, likes to torture animals for fun and is a sociopath. It is, of course, complete nonsense, and accusations that only radicalised feminists, virulently and toxically homosexual men, child predators, and completely dishonest people would throw at you. But then, their numbers are on the rise lately.

So, let me explain to you, my brothers in arms, first of all WHY your critics are complete fucking idiots to begin with, meaning they absolutely must be not only ignored, but actively shunned and distanced from all aspects of your life, and secondly I will explain WHO your critics tend to be in the vast majority of cases, which will make the need from keeping them out of your life even more obvious.

Why are they wrong?

The reasons are almost infinite, but as a general rule:

1. They are Historically Ignorant

Now, you may think this has nothing to do with their criticising your “toxic masculinity” or your choice of weird “career” or of becoming a farmer in remote forests far from large cities, and building your own home starting out with only basic tools (but think about things first, eh?), or your personal relationship with your girlfriend, and so on. But it does.

The recent somewhat humorous meme about men thinking about Ancient Rome on a daily basis is essentially true.

Consider:

EVERYTHING you see around you that can be considered a positive factor of civilisation, was essentially created by men willing and able to do violence to defend, protect, and remove enemies in the way of building those very things you appreciate today.

Indoor Plumbing: Romans.

System of laws that are still in use today all over the world in diluted and worsened forms: Romans.

Roads: Romans

Astonishing works of architecture never before seen: Romans (and Greeks)

The longest and most functional of human empires in all of human history: Rome. The only other system of “empire” that lasted longer and is still functional —as a remnant— is the real Catholic Church (today remaining true and correct as it has for 2000 years only in actual Catholics (Sedevacantists)). And guess where the Catholic Church sprang forth to conquer the world with its truth, beauty and goodness? Rome.

Literally, everything you see would not have happened without the Romans civilising pretty much the then known world. Yes by brute force. Yes by imposing rules and laws on the conquered people, yet letting them have autonomy in their own affairs. And whether you like it or not, the fact is that Rome, by civilising most of humanity at the time, opened the door for the next step, which was the even greater civilising effect of Christianity, which, let’s be clear, is and always was, and always will be, Catholicism. All other pretend versions of “Christianity” including the Novus Ordo fake “Catholic Church” are at best Churchianity and in many cases, actually Satanic inversions.

But even if you step away from Rome, understand that every city you have ever seen or lived in was created by men. Men who fought, and died, against other men, the elements, wild beasts, disease, famine, and natural disasters, in order to impose systems of law, order, food production, animal husbandry, mining, smelting, forging, building, and improving. All while they also did artwork, created places of worship, contemplated the infinite and the divine, raised children, protected their families, and led them to what was best for them, often regardless of personal sacrifice.

Literally pretty much EVERYTHING you see around you was invented, created, improved and built by men. While there are certainly exceptions and some women here and there have contributed positive things to civilisation, you will find even the best among them were aware of the fact that it was essentially men who had the objective perspectives of logic, reason, and factual appreciation of reality to make the necessary choices and actions that improved life for all. Florence Nightingale and her statements concerning women in general comes to mind.

So, when so random effeminate male, or bitter, entitled, spoilt, pointless female criticises you, realise, that in the first place, they literally know NOTHING of how the world came to be so pleasant and easy that they can sit on their ever-expanding arse and pontificate about thing that they never had the intellect to even understand, never mind philosophise about or create.

They are cargo-cultists. What is a cargo cultist? It originates from groups of tribes in the Pacific Islands that assumed that cargo (material goods, shipping containers full of new and wonderful stuff they had never seen before) would come if they pleased the gods in various rituals. In modern usage, this means something slightly different. The retards criticising you and your life choices are generally morons that haven’t got a clue about how to perform the most basic of tasks, like changing a car tire, or knowing what a spark plug is, and so on. They take all of these things for granted, as if moving vehicles (with their spark plugs, and tires and rotary wings and so on, and on, and on) are just a normal fact of nature. Apples grow on trees, and international flights and iPads just sprout naturally from the ground. And female Grrrrll power makes them work even better.

This complete ignorance and detachment from history translates into a complete detachment from reality. The same retards are bound to think that a woman can compete in sports at the same level of a man, that mutilating your genitals changes your sex, that shoving people from different cultures, religions and backgrounds together by force results in anything other than eventual war between them, and so on and so forth. So, their opinions, are invariably completely ignorant and detached from reality. And have as much value, generally speaking, as the farts of drug-addled gnats.

2. They are Stupid

You can’t get away from it. They are simply not very intelligent. They are unable to observe reality and make effective, logical, reasoned, conclusions that match reality. Ignorance, even engrained through indoctrination, can be remedied, albeit far less easily than most people assume, but the absolute absence of historical context, constant lies spread by all mass media in its multitude of forms and so on, can make the best of us ignorant.

That, however, is less excusable when you become old enough to make your way in the world. If you have any kind of functioning brain, you should be able to notice reality around you; and where it is intentionally being subverted and lied about to you in a consistent and ridiculous manner. In short, only a complete fucking idiot believes that a man can become a woman by genital mutilation, or vice versa, or that wanting to rape little children is just “another form of sexuality”, or that men and women are equal (or that any two human beings are, for that matter, including twins). Now, it is fair to say that one can be confused about a great many things, and not necessarily be an idiot, and I will give a few brief examples below to give a general sense, but anyone of middle age that still believes the absurd versions of the narrative described immediately above, is, without question, a moron. And why on Earth would you ever take life advice from a moron?

If you are confused about a topic, study it. Look into it. On the surface, feminism sounds like a good thing, right? I mean, I thought so too at about age 13, way back in say 1982 or so. Because, on the surface, what did we initially get told feminism was about? Well, equality before the law. And who would want to argue that, right? I mean would you not want everyone to be treated the same before the law? Sounds good right? Except it’s not.

And let’s leave aside for a moment the reality of who the luminaries of feminism were, and what they actually wanted to achieve and what their motives were. Let’s just skip right over that little portal to Hell and instead just focus on the supposedly “good” aspects of it, like that whole “equality before the law” thing.

It’s actually fucking evil, and a perversion of justice. Roman Law (the original one, from Ancient Rome, now very diluted) knew this. Anglo-Saxon law, and eventually American “law”, being a gradual and increasing descent into hell, have steadily moved away from the fact that the law, if it is to be just, should NOT apply equally to everyone. Is it fair to judge someone that has an IQ of 75 by the same standards as someone that has an IQ of 150? Is it fair to judge someone that is biologically less emotionally stable because of how hormones work in their body than someone who is biologically more stable hormonally? If you are honest, while you may well (and justifiably) become fearful at the prospect of just how do you act fairly to everyone, the reality is that each individual circumstance, as much as possible, should be somewhat allowed for.

Personally, for example, I have no real problem with women generally receiving lighter sentences for most violent crimes against adults. Take the example of say Charlize Theron. Her mother shot and killed her father supposedly because of the physical abuse she was subjected to by her husband, and imminent threat in that specific instance. Was it all real? I have no clue. Apparently she was found not guilty of murder because the situation was clearly one of self-defence. And if so, good for her. It seems a pretty clear cut case, and I have zero problem with the lady in question being perfectly free. But even if there was some question of it, in general, I too would tend to favour the woman’s account of things. It is —for the very same reasons that women did not build empires— generally, not usual for a woman to resort to deadly force as a “go to” response. Of course exceptions exist, the specific of each case need to be looked at etc etc. But as a general rule, what I am saying is that, while we know that women receive much lighter sentences than men for violent crimes, I don’t really have a problem with it. The exception for me is when women harm children, particularly their own. In those instances, the penalty, as far as I am concerned, should absolutely be equal, and when they kill children, the penalty should absolutely be death.

Why don’t I have problem with the lighter sentences for women? For the same reason I don’t have a problem with lighter sentences for children. On average, they are less emotionally capable than adult males.

Or to put it bluntly: Should a woman (in general, on average) receive a lighter sentence for, say, a shooting that results in a death?

Yes. I think in general that is probably ok. Why? Because in general, women will also have less access to legally owned firearms. The training that I personally would like to have in place for people to own firearms would be far above present requirements. (Note I said training, not bureaucracy and paperwork). BUT, if and when that training is done and regularly kept up with, I literally would have zero problem with people (citizens of the country only, regardless of country) going about and being armed in their day to day life. Despite anti-gun people screaming till they are blue in the face, the statistics on this are absolutely clear. Where concealed carry of firearms is legal, violent crime drops dramatically. It’s not what they tell you or want you to know, but historical statistics on this are unequivocal.

Despite the fact that the rules as I would like them are NOT in place anywhere, it remains the case that in those societies where being armed is permissible, most women choose to not go through the process. And many are indeed, scared of guns in se. As they might be of a chainsaw too. And that’s perfectly normal. I also strongly agree with men using chainsaws and not women, unless absolutely necessary. None of this is rocket science, but can you see how that translates in making all the rules the same for everyone, unjust? Roman law applies principle as a generality, but looks at each individual case on its own merits, and because of it, is an eminently better legal system than any of the ones currently in place in the English speaking world for sure, and probably the rest of the planet too. So, once again, an echo of Rome, but also, of the inability of the ignorant giving you crappy advice to think things through based on what’s in front of their own eyes at any given point.

The same idiocy applies to pretty much all of their assumed ideas about life, the Universe and everything. Because in the main, whatever idiotic idea they think they have, is not even theirs. These people have never had an original thought in their entire existence. They merely absorbed whatever “fashionable” nonsense they have been instructed to believe. And it is so with literally everything in their stupid lives.

Fifteen years ago, Russell Brand was supposedly this sexy, intellectual “naughty boy” that any woman would (should?) have been grateful to be bedded by, him being constantly described in the press as a “Lothario”. Now he is supposedly a perverse sexual predator that has been hiding his vile practices for years. The reality is that Russell Brand always was a complete fake with respect to being any kind of “intellectual”, he was an entirely manufactured “sensation”, and above all, as I stated way back then, in my opinion, always was a creep, and I am also certain he was sexually inept on every level. I would have bet money on it then and I would do so now too.

But the same cretinous people that used to “love him” then, will “hate him” now. And not because they finally see through anything at all. Because they never do, and never did before. They simply follow the narrative they are imbibed with. These are not the behaviours of people you can respect for their intelligence, insightful nature, or valid powers of observation. So why on Earth would you listen to their criticisms of you and your life choices?

And those two are main and general points that apply to over 95% of the morons that spew they idiotic opinions out of their drooling mouths, which is enough to discredit all of their opinions, pretty much, but please keep in mind there are many, many, more valid reasons, that can also apply generally, or more specifically, and it would take a book or ten to list them all in detail. I list only a few here for ease of use:

  • An inability to understand percentages, probabilities, and statistics in general.
  • As a result of their innumeracy, a complete inability to evaluate a scientific paper, a news report, or really any bit of information, including self-observed ones, for objective factual value. In short, they are completely unable to even be aware if a scientific methodology as applied to a study is valid or not. Never mind analyse the results of the study with a critical eye founded in statistical knowledge.
  • An inability to spot obvious logical fallacies.
  • An inability to follow, much less produce, a valid logical syllogism.
  • An inability to foresee obvious problems with a theoretical concept or idea. Even after the problems start showing up en masse.
  • An inability to select for logic over emotions.
  • A complete inability to design, perform, execute and review an actual scientific experiment of any kind. And the total lack of imagination to even consider doing so.

So, yeah. They are ignorant and they are stupid. Really that is all you need to know to realise you can and should ignore their bullshit ideas about you and/or your loved ones.

Who are these Critics?

1. Human Wreckage

Ever notice who the biggest critics are?

I have.

You will never receive as much criticisms from the human equivalent of flotsam.

The alcoholics. The junkies. The permanently unemployed. The drug addled, pot-smoking, shiftless human shadows that perambulate life in a way that is analogous to the permanently sedated inmates in a mental institute for the criminally insane.

Those who have made a complete shambles of their own lives somehow find it fit to give you advice on how to live yours. The mothers that failed their children at every turn pretend to tell their daughters how to parent. The fathers that failed completely at fatherhood will criticise their sons mercilessly no matter what they achieve.

It is always thus.

These human equivalent of sewer rats, will try to drag everyone down to their level. And this is true across cultures and nations. The ghettos of the Bronx are no different from the council estates of London, or the “case popolari” of Naples. Humans are generally, flawed, weak, greedy, petty-minded, envious creatures, and when one of their numbers tries, or succeeds, in elevating themselves from the surrounding rat-people, these will try to drag him or her back into the sewer.

Because, ultimately, if that man or woman does escape, does become happier, more successful at life, a better parent, a happier wife, a richer son, then it tells the rat-people what useless beings they are in a way that even their unconscious mind finds difficult to avoid. In fact, the usual response, if that happens and they totally fail at dragging the escapee back, is to then try to claim credit for their success.

If it were honest, it would be stated more like: “Oh yes, Johnny only became a successful man because of the alcoholic beatings he received from me, the cocaine fuelled orgies he saw me and his mother partake in during swingers parties, my constant adultery and taking my life’s frustrations out on him. I did all that for him. And the ungrateful little bastard won’t even buy me a new house! After all I did for him!”

So, when you get criticised by someone, look at their own life in that respect.

  • What kind of marriage did they have?
  • What kind of children did they raise?
  • What kind of achievements did they have?
  • How successful at their chosen life paths have they been?
  • What are their biggest failures and biggest achievements?
  • What’s their drug use been like throughout their life?
  • What has their business or careers achieved?
  • Did they provide well for their loved ones?

And if all of the above is one train smash after another, why would you care one little bit what they think, or what “advice” they are giving out under the guise of “helping” you?

2. Losers and NPCs

Not quite as toxic as the human wreckage, these are nevertheless people that while perhaps meaning well, (you might want to think so, but never assume it is the case) have an over-inflated sense of their own ability and/or importance. These are people that either have had some disappointment in life, tried and failed at something, or several somethings, or just plodded along without ever achieving too much and resent it. A bit, or a lot.

Please do not mistake these people for the genuine, middle-of-the-road people who simply did the best they could, without lamenting their lot too much and just got on with it, but are not by any means captains of industry, or particularly successful at anything specific. Few things are as under-appreciated as the steady, normal people, who nevertheless kept their family together, fed, and relatively happy. I am not talking about these people. I am talking about the father who was never a good enough football player so he tries to live vicariously through his son and makes him go to training daily when his son would much rather take up woodworking, say. It’s the “I could have been Miss County of Whocaresatall!” And by golly, she is going to dress her 5 year old daughter in the latest fashion accessories.

It’s the parents who, even though they did not divorce, when you announce that you are not going to university, because you really like electronics and have found a job as an apprentice in an electronics repair shop, immediately criticise your choice, because spending 100k on a nose picking degree in business economics gives you the prestige to be a Starbucks barista with a degree! And neither of them knows how to wire a plug, never mind solder a bit of an electronic components.

In RPG game parlance, if you are born into a family of zero-level NPCs whose life revolved around selling clothing made by hand to the local nobility, and you announce that you are off to be a ranger, learning how to hunt in the woods, even as you study magic in the evening, they will naturally tell you you are crazy; you will get eaten by werewolves, orcs will rape you, and giant wasps will paralyse you and lay eggs in your rectum that will eat you from the inside.

And some of that may indeed be a possible outcome. But while no one wants to be raped by orcs and become an incubator for giant wasps, the idea of spending your life as a tailor for the nobility makes being eaten by a werewolf more attractive. Besides, if you are only partially chewed you become a werewolf yourself and while not ideal, eh… at least it won’t be boring!

So, while they may even have your best interests at heart, they simply don’t have any relevant experience really. And, more importantly, they do not have your heart. And heart counts for a lot in life. In fact, as far as I am concerned, without heart, what’s the point?

So, what now young (or not so young) adventurer?

1. Generalities

Of course, the point is not to go off half cocked and oblivious of the dangers, obstacles or other things you may have to face.

By all means, study and research. Figure things out and have backup plan A, B and C. But also…

Don’t over-think it either.

Remember that as Von Clausewitz put it, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

And in life, that “enemy” is reality. And the ability of your plan to deal with it is a direct relationship with how distant the plan is from observable reality and the happenstances along the way. The more able you are to adapt, and yet continue along your chosen path, the more likely your eventual success.

Keep in mind that failure is part of life. Falling down happens. You didn’t learn to walk by not falling down. You learnt to walk by continually getting up again. And the advice you may have got at age 8 or 9 months, when you could not speak and did not understand most of language, was mostly just so much babbling. And so is the mouth noises most of your critics make today.

Notice also, that most of the people who do encourage you, who do say, “You know, I think this and that might be a problem, but man, I think you can do it. And maybe you can figure out how to even avoid this or that, or maybe they are not even things. After all, I didn’t do it that way, so you might be right.” Or who give you constructive criticism designed to help you stay on track and be inspired, are not the losers, not the NPCs and most certainly not the human wreckage. They are people that in whatever capacity have achieved a measure of success. Whether it is financial, emotional, familial, or whatever.

I never had criticism of me and my ways as I did from the losers at life, and I learnt early on to ignore them. There is also a specific type of critic that is externally successful (they may be rich, or apparently want for nothing) but in reality they absolutely resent your own personal freedom. This can be from your own parents too as well as strangers or even billionaires. I have no clue about Elon Musk’s life, and I am picking him as a random example, and possibly totally unfairly so, but let me put it this way, I would not be in the least surprised if Elon would be envious of my life-long freedom of always having been able to tell whoever I want, to fuck right off, if I felt like it. And I would assume that Elon has a lot more to lose than I do, and as a result, paradoxically, is perhaps a lot less free to do that to the extent I can and have done. So, beware of those critics too.

2. Specifics

Most men who grew up in the Western world had half-stunted or actively bad examples of male role models. The easy life made the necessities of manhood less of a requirement and more of a cultural option. One that carried increasingly high levels of discomfort and risk in many cases.

The changing “morality” (increasing degeneracy and destruction of wholesome ethics, honour, and traditions) also meant that your own fathers were under intellectual assault for most of their lives. My own upbringing, in the relatively savage African wilderness was rare for a Westerner to have. The realities of life and death are almost never impressed upon to Western men. Instead, a barrage of absolute nonsense is forced in their heads with a crowbar-like attachment to narratives intentionally designed to destroy the natural, healthy, heterosexual, European male. That is just an objective fact that becomes obvious if you merely pay attention and notice things as the are, and why they are being driven in that direction, and by whom.

So:

1. Study History. Indeed, learn about Rome. And Greece, and the Catholic Church as it really was, and what it really did, not what you have been told about it; look it up. Hundreds of volumes exist of writings by the people that were there in the first couple of hundred years after Jesus. And many more after that. Start at the beginning, not the fake end they tell you is the whole story. It isn’t.

2. Learn Logic, Mathematics, Statistics and Probability. “Oh it’s hard to study…” Suck it up buttercup. Life is hard. Being a man is hard. Being an educated man is even harder. It’s also a requirement. Stop being a pussy. Get on with it.

3. Understand the role of being a man and what it entails. Do NOT attempt to do this without having done one and two above first. You will be led astray by a lot of gay wolves in heterosexual sheep’s clothing. I will be making my subsequent blog post about this very topic. And you have plenty to get on with before then, so get on with it.

4. Understand the role of a woman and what it entails, but above all, understand how a man should relate to a woman and how she should relate to a man. Again, this is a complex topic that has been vilified in every way imaginable for at the very least 70 years. Do not attempt to begin this without first having done the three above points and having read my very next blog post after this one, which will cover this aspect in more detail. Hint: Women are not the enemy.

5. Understand that religion is pivotal. Not optional. This is a massive topic and of course, rivers of ink and blood have been spilt over it, so I am not going to bother doing more than I already have with my two books, the short one, BELIEVE! and the detailed one Reclaiming the Catholic Church. But be aware that atheism leads to mass murder, and so do many fake religions. Churchianity leads to fakeness and gayness (of the butt-sex kind, not the happy kind). False religions lead to dysfunctional societies, not functional, happy, safe ones that are able to deal with reality head on. Catholicism has been vilified and lied to from the start, and had bad men, in it and all around it, throughout it’s existence, and yet, in keeping with our Lord’s promise, it remains active, and has been the most successful method of creating loving, safe, humane societies full of beauty, humanity, justice and happiness. And this despite the constant lies, attacks and since 1958, total inversion of it by the Satanists currently residing in the Vatican. So, at a minimum, read a bit about it. My books of course save you a lot of time and give plenty of references you can verify by yourself, but it doesn’t need to be my books. Just learn the real history of Christianity from the very early days, as written about by the people that were physically there at the time. Then see if you can still refute catholicism as it really is, not as you have been told it is by pedophile Satanists pretending to be Catholic Clergy.

And last but also first: I don’t know about you, but personally, I have always believed it is better for me to make mistakes or bad choices as a result of my own bad decisions than by listening to someone else’s bad advice.

So, go forth man. And conquer life and do the hard things, and do the good things, and ignore the naysayers, the critics, the failures, the alcoholic, drug addled flotsam of life, the NPCs, the envious millionaires and jealous prisoners of their own failures. Build your life, your friends, your family, your community, based on solid foundations, leading a loving wife who respects and cares about you and looks after you as a woman that is happy to be a woman and act as one, even as you take care of her and love her, as a man that is happy to be a man, and acts as one.

Some Truths about Self-Sustainability Farming

Despite everyone somewhat jumping on the bandwagon of wanting to go off-grid, rural, and become a self-sustaining farmer, you need to understand that the task is not for the faint of heart.

In particular, if you have been a city-boy most of your life, don’t expect to suddenly be able to move to the country, go off-grid and be like little home on the prairie all flowers and daffodils and unicorns.

Farming, regardless of where you are, to a level that actually is able to feed you and your entire family AND earn you some cash for those other “incidentals” that are inevitable in the farming life, is far from easy.

At a minimum, assuming a family of 7, like mine, where the children are all still quite small, you will require:

  • Sufficient land to grow a number of different crops
  • Sufficient water/irrigation or natural rainfall to water your plants
  • A greenhouse of suitable size to grow those foods that are more susceptible to being eaten by bugs and wild animals and produce better results in a protected environment
  • A tractor with the various attachments to plough, cut and dig
  • If you plan to go off-grid you need a serious solar/battery setup. depending on where you are this will run several thousand euro/dollars/gold coins. At a minimum here in Italy it would be 30k Euro, but 50k euro would be better. Even then if you get snow in winter (we do), it will not be enough to run everything you ideally want to run, so prioritising becomes important.
  • Wood-heated stoves to warm the house and water too in winter
  • Wind turbines tend to break and not be anywhere as efficient as you hope
  • Permits/Bureaucracy/Taxes/Regulations be sure what these are before you even buy the property. Sometimes there are legal ways to do what you want despite initial setbacks. sometimes there aren’t. That might not matter in a SHTF situation, but until you’re actually fighting off hordes of zombies, it does matter and can cost you dearly to fall foul of it.
  • You will also need an array of tools and tool storage solutions that will cost you a further several thousands at a minimum and many several thousands if you go full “apocalypse warehouse”
  • Your income will be very different from what you are used to, and in the best case, dependent on things like: The weather. Chemtrails. Your ability to purchase a bunch of things, from petrol to fertilisers. And possibly, all the way to Laser-fires from above, or, immigrant petrol-lit ones if you are in a place that some government pedovore fancies you should not be in.

And that’s just the material/practical side of things.

There are some intangibles that are also very important to consider:

  • Your wife/children may not be ready or willing to undergo the rather extreme shift in lifestyle from “I’ll have my latte Venti with Vanilla extract, a Peruvian berry and a unicorn fart on the foam, thanks” to “You wanna eat? Clean out the chicken-shit from the coop, collect the eggs, water the goats and then make breakfast. I have to feed the chickens, feed the goats, fix the fencing, trim the brambles around the fruit trees and butcher the pig. I’ll be in for breakfast soon.”
  • They may also find the remoteness hard (at least at first), and if they are not helped to appreciate nature, farming itself, hunting, building and fixing things and so on, they may well resent you and, like many farmer’s children from all the ages, run off to the glitzy city lights you just escaped from. The difference being that back then the city lights offered a real job and still some semblance of a life. Today, the glitzy lights represent the beams of the operating theatre where they operate on your genitals to make you “more real than a real woman” while telling you that the plastic cheese is good for you while you work in a cubicle farm and are hooked up to a VR headset for 3D masturbation in the 3 hours before you pass out in a glycemic coma; before you are woken by a snort of cocaine and do it all again the next day. And the next. And the next.
  • There are no days off. Pretty much ever. The up side is also that there are no set alarm times to get up, although, necessity sees to it that most farmers rise early and go to bed early. I am a crap farmer, because my natural inclination is to be a hunter/scout, so I tend to rise later and go to bed never, but that’s not the way of the farmer, trust me.
  • The income you can make from selling produce as a small farm is not a lot. You really need to organise yourself to do that if that is your idea. Personally, misanthropic as I am, I am not too inclined to do that, but it is an inevitable need if your farm becomes your sole way to earn a living.
  • Farm animals stink. Chickens stink. Pigs really stink. Goats stink. Cows stink. And they all shit. A lot. All the time. The up side is that if you have raised 5 kids from birth, you are mostly used to the stink already. Being regularly sprayed with snot, vomit, liquid shit, piss, undefinable sticky substances from their grubby little hands, and having the occasional dead bug or small animal brought indoors, somewhat hardens you to the farming life. Even so, your wife may occasionally miss wearing long, flowing, colourful dresses, high heels and smelling of jasmine and morning dew. Try to cheer her up by reminding her that if the farm animals escape, there can be early morning runs in underwear and farming boots, where the freezing dew will mix naturally with the sweat and adrenaline pheromones.
  • This may depend a bit on where you are, but the vast expanses of Earth that are covered in greenery, have bugs. Lots, and lots, and lots of bugs. If you are like me and grew up in that environment, you may find the bugs, the scorpions, the snakes, mice, random little animals cool to see or even study. If you are a city girl, you might freak out every 5 minutes and feel like Dresden in WW2 being dive-bombed by mosquitoes, gnats, and other fiery-biting things.
  • Injuries. Just like you cannot do martial arts without getting some, it is quite likely that you and yours will suffer some injuries. If you are smart, careful, and go about things intelligently, these should mostly be limited to cuts, scrapes, thorns, twisting an ankle or pulling a muscle or ten. If you are an unsafe idiot, it can mean your death, or worse, that of one of your children or wife. I have worked as an armed bodyguard in South Africa, which is basically one of the murder capitals of the world, with a level of death by violent crime that surpasses the war in the baltic states of the 1990s. And has kept this level of homicide steady for some 30 years, year on year now. I have also done martial arts for over four decades. And I consider farming, especially on hilly, uneven ground that has not been well-maintained, to be more dangerous than either of those endeavours.
  • Sometimes you will simply need other people to help you. Be they friends or paid workers, especially while setting things up (which is also when you will make the most mistakes). Some jobs can’t be done alone, and some jobs really need an expert guy who has done that most of his life to come help you and show you how it’s done.
  • Community. Wherever you are, as a farmer, you will need to be a good neighbour and rely on them too. This is not optional. Every farmer knows this. Which is why farmers are some of my favourite people on Earth, always have been. They are also far more level-headed, salutary and pious than soldiers; though, the two types are not as far apart as you might think. Especially if the soldiers are honest types instead of wound-up toys pumped full of battle drugs and retarded ideology. So… make sure you can get along with the people living near you.

So, know all of that before buying into some online grifter telling you how the “homesteading life” is the easy way to removing yourself from Clown World and be totally trouble free. And while people like Wranglerstar might make their living from their YouTube channel, or others may survive on donations, that is not a model you should base your ultimate survival on. Nor is it one in which most will succeed, either. It can be a side stream of income and it can take off and be great for some, but beware of anyone that tell you that the self-sustainable lifestyle is easily or quickly achieved.

And if you want to multiply those problems by an order of magnitude, then try creating a brand new community of people that all do this together and in harmony.

Believe me, you need God then.

In any case, despite all the above, it looks like soon we will have the first purchase of a home near us by a loyal henchman. May he be the first of many to come.

Oh… one last point… if you ARE prepared to face all that stuff… is it worth it?

Absolutely, yes!

A Question for a hypothetical Scenario

Assume a race of aliens has the ability to basically clone or adapt themselves to look exactly like human beings except for a tiny mark, a symbol, say, either tattooed somewhere on their body, or occasionally no tattoo, but adherence to using a specific item of clothing, say a type of hat, or a handkerchief of a specific colour say.

So, in short, while some of the aliens could be recognised by the tattoo in the case of those who sport it, others could only be inferred by a specific item of clothing that they carry on their person, but that obviously, also non-aliens can carry on their person, either unknowingly, or intentionally to try and either curry favour with the aliens or to appear as one of them to the humans, for whatever reason.

Let’s also postulate that these aliens have nefarious intentions towards humanity at large and their first order of business is to get rid of all those people who:

  1. Understand they are aliens and expose them as such
  2. Have the best chance technologically and socially to prevent their nefarious actions and intent to subjugate the whole of humanity to a state of perpetual slavery and depopulation
  3. Organise to prevent their take over

Now, given their human appearance and lack of ease in understanding they are aliens, and secondly, that they have evil intent towards us, I think it’s fairly obvious that the average person would have trouble even being aware an existential threat to their entire civilisation even exists.

Even if they DO become aware and research and realise this is real, they will have an almost impossible task in trying to convince other humans, especially given the level of distraction the average human is subjected to daily.

But there is more. Suppose that in the past of human history, throughout the centuries, these aliens have, at different times and places, been recognised as a threat, and different groups of people took action against them. Sometimes violent, other times, merely excluding them from certain geographic areas, since they looked perfectly human and no normal person would have tolerated what they saw as a genocide.

Yet, these pushbacks from humanity, over the centuries, became always labelled as unjust, the persecution of innocents and so on. You could see how much more difficult that would make the task of the humans who become aware of the aliens and their plans. Exposing them would become almost impossible socially.

Now add to the fact that the aliens all seem to be linked by a kind of telepathy, or some other form of communication, that the humans are unaware of and don’t really recognise. Very quickly, the aliens, though an overall minority on the planet, would infest positions in government and begin to dictate policies in all countries around the globe, to begin acting in a coordinated fashion to the detriment of humanity in general. What are the things these aliens might want to begin doing on a large scale, and over long periods of time? Because remember, they have been among us for centuries.

I think the following would definitely be things they want to do:

  1. Erase any history that exposes their existence and their practices as well as how to recognise them as aliens.
  2. Create systems of taxation, bureaucracy, legislation that all overburden the local humans in each region, and focusing first of all on the people and geographic areas that have the highest level of technology and best communication.
  3. Create multiple systems of distraction and malediction. If the humans can be kept distracted, stupid, overwhelmed with he daily concern of living and so on, they won’t have time to even notice the aliens, much less act against them in concert.
  4. Take over the financial reins of each nation and eventually centralise them as much as possible, with aliens being ultimately in charge of the very process of the creation of money and how and why this is distributed at national and supra-national levels.
  5. Incite as much chaos as possible, especially in the more technologically advanced ethnicities and geographic areas. This can be done by mass movement of peoples from very different and disparate cultures, religions and wealth levels. The more mixed and chaotic the cultures, the more there will be clashes, further distractions and a general breakdown of any kind of law and order, as social cohesion breaks down.
  6. Ensure that the entire legal and government system, works in favour of the most technologically incapable sections of humanity and to the detriment of those most able to organise and create both technology as well as robust social systems of law and order.
  7. Begin a strong system of sexual confusion, promoting any and all lifestyles that do not result in reproduction, and/or that can damage and collapse the normal nuclear family that is the bedrock of humanity, and has been for millennia.
  8. As much as possible, turn the humans one against the other, by any and all means possible. Men against women, gays against straight, one religion against all the others and vice versa, nation against nation, ethnicity against ethnicity, culture against culture, history against narrative and so on.
  9. Begin a process of malediction that begins to intrinsically question hard science and replaces it with emotional and subjective political issues. Math can suddenly become racist, for example. Men can suddenly become women, or vice versa. Child rape can become merely a sexual preference. A nuclear family composed of a man and woman of the same ethnicity, background and culture becomes vile and racist. Borders that protect different cultures and societies from each other become barriers to “social justice” and are to be done away with, and so on.
  10. Infiltrate and corrupt the medical profession, and begin to make global efforts to force theoretically “helpful” vaccines and other drugs onto healthy people, especially children, so as to begin to weaken their natural immune systems and actually make them less healthy in large numbers over long periods of time. Use the fear of illness and the need to safeguard the weakest members of society as a moral crowbar to begin to implement these things, especially in the most advanced human populations.

Alright, starting to feel pretty dystopian yet?

Good, good. Now assume that on Earth there is ONE organisation, that is at least a couple of millennia old, that has always been aware of these aliens. They started out small, but then grew very large, but eventually they too were infiltrated over the centuries and corrupted and very nearly destroyed. Let’s say this organisation is a religious one, that has rituals and orders and so on, with a military arm and a clerical arm. Now that it has been almost completely corrupted, however, a small core of them continue to exist, and practice their religion, as well as the knowledge of the aliens, if not completely in secret, certainly to the almost total ignorance of most of humanity.

Suppose also, that you, as the aliens, are aware of this last remnant of hardcore human loyalists. What are the actions you might take, aside from direct force of violence?

You might slander them, call them all sort of crazy, bigoted, racist and on and on. In fact, you would try to exclude them as some kind of cultish band of crazy people. You would do all in your power to keep people ignorant of their history, of the fact that their religion models reality better than any other systems humans had ever come into contact with, and the fact that their rules were all codified and written down and have consistently produced safe havens of human progress, safety and advanced civilisation.

While you would be far less critical of all the other misguided religions on the planet, and in fact, even help promote many of them, especially those you have convinced that you are their greatest ally, you would absolutely try to stomp this small band of resistance fighter out of existence.

So… here, finally, is the question.

Assume you are just a normal human, going about your business, unaware of most of this stuff, and then, in whatever way, and by whatever means, you begin to become aware of all of the above. What would you do?

Would you take the time to investigate the seemingly absurd claims about alien invaders hellbent on the total enslavement and massive reduction of the human race?

Would you investigate the belief systems and history of the small band of remaining resistance fighter?

Would you be willing to have all your dearly held beliefs exploded in the face of factual evidence that yes, these things are in fact true?

Realistically, would you take the time to really look into it? Or would you pretend you never came across any of this and just carry on with your day to day life and hope it was all just a bad dream?

Honestly, I am curious, what would you do?

In a way, it’s the same question one might ask of the original film the Matrix. Would you want to wake up and become part of the resistance against the aliens? Or would you choose to remain oblivious in your caged in state?

I put it to you that most will choose to remain caged in. Especially those who are not in already poor and tragic circumstances. I put it to you that the boomer ethic of “hey, I am still ok, screw the world” would preside majorly in almost all of the people who stumble upon the reality of the evil aliens.

And I call such people NPCs. Non-player characters. After all, just like in role playing games, be they Dungeons and Dragons, Traveller, or my own Q.O.R.G. , only a few take the risk to become relevant in the world they live in.

So that’s my question. What do you do?

The Subtlety of the Demonic within Protestantism

Oh I know, protties will ass-u-me that this is just yet another rant against their facile and absurd version of Christianity. But no, it is actually something quite subtle yet very important.

It has taken me about the last two years to really begin to observe the clarity with which the protestantism zeitgeist affects really not just protestants specifically, but in fact, pretty much all of the English-speaking world. Regardless of your religious beliefs, I think if you take the time to read this, and then make some observations, there is a real benefit you might gain from it. Even if you remain a protestant (tragically misguided as that position would be).

In a succinct three sentences, the problem is this:

Protestantism mechanises human beings, and is designed to do so by its ultimate “creator”, reducing the humanity between people and subjugating the individual to ever growing rules, as if he were simply a cog in a machine.

Catholicism (the real one, not the Novus Ordo version, which is just a Satanic perversion of Christianity) on the other hand is religion best suited for human beings, it ennobles, elevates, and improves the condition of the individual at the individual level, and thus of the family, and thus of society at large. Never losing sight that the individual is the key and his or her individuality is a gift and joy when expressed within the protective confines of Catholic dogma.

This assertion, which might at first seem mere opinion, can be verified by you in a number of ways. Most of these are what I would call large scale statistical studies/observations and as such, while individual counter-examples can be found aplenty, they do not in any way invalidate the overall thesis. Here are some of the easiest and most profitable areas you may wish to investigate for yourself:

Marriage – Divorce and Abortion – Family unit Cohesion – Children

While the Novus Ordo Satanic cult has damaged this institution a lot in the intervening nearly 70 years, even today, divorce, even in nominally “Catholic” families is viewed as a great failure and although the stain of scandal is much reduced, there is still a hint of it. This, of course, stems from the concept that marriage should be for life. A stance that the Catholic Church always had, and even the present day Satanic impersonators find difficult to reverse, though they give out annulments like confetti as of late. In fact, until the early 1900s, even amongst protestants, divorce was still quite the stain. It all changed with the introduction of contraception in pill format, invented by a Jew, and readily taken up by Protestantism. Although condoms had existed for a long time, their use was banned by Catholicism, since, as per Catholic dogma, the PRIMARY purpose of marriage, is to raise a family, which means children, which means divorce is out because you should be adult and possessed of reason enough to know this BEFORE you even enter into any kind of sexual liaison with the proposed wife/husband. Meaning you will make your choice based on their suitability for that as your PRIMARY point, and your compatibility in terms of sex, lustful attraction, and so on, only as a distant second, if not third or fourth. The reason being obvious, in that two people actively working towards creating a harmonious environment for their children will both work towards finding a harmonious compatibility of a sexual nature, and, as my pre-Catholic experience tells me, almost any man and any woman can become sexually really quite compatible, when they both aim to do so, even if at first this might not seem the case. The honest wish to have children and raise them together makes it an easy thing to ensure both parties work hard at any apparent incompatibility or lack of symphony in their individual ways. So it all stems from the lack of contraception amongst Catholics, which is a far deeper and fundamental aspect of marriage than most people today, imbibed in the Protestant mindset, even begin to realise. Divorce is the result of placing the lust/attraction/ephemeral traits of the potential partner ahead of the fundamental/primary/lifelong attributes. If your focus is on the ephemerals, these will inevitably change and degrade over time. The fundamental aspects, are far more resilient and knowing this consciously helps you make better choices from the very start. The extreme of this attitude of focusing on the ephemeral instead of the fundamental is, of course, the total inversion of the very essence of marriage, where children are seen as an inconvenience to the extent that we then murder them in the womb. Tearing them literally apart, limb from limb so as to not get in the way of our buying a new iPhone and having sex with whoever we fancy, without any wish to even have a long conversation with them, much less spend a lifetime together. Catholicism has this aspect correct, and protestantism has it completely wrong and inverted. As a result protestant society is no longer family oriented and what children result from the bonobo-like couplings of humans are often urban-feral examples of disrespect, savagery, complete lack of moral character or discipline, and the denizens of broken homes. You can see this in broad terms by simply observing the generic or “average” behaviour of teens in Anglo-Saxon/teutonic countries (which are overwhelmingly protestant) and comparing them to nominally and presently really ex-Catholic countries, like Spain, Portugal, Italy and to a lesser and modified, but still valid extent, South American also ex-Catholic countries. The family unit in such cultures still matters, and children will tend to get corrected sharply and quickly if they behave in unacceptable fashions (much less so now than say 50 years ago, but it still is a much improved situation when compared to the protestant countries).

Anglo-Saxon or (God forbid, American “law”) Vs. Roman law

The British legal system is fundamentally flawed in that it tries to mechanise and compartmentalise human behaviour in a number of pigeon-holes. You kill a person you get punishment X to Z depending on prior case law (that is, whatever happened in the past to some other guy in supposedly similar circumstances will fit here too, regardless of square pegs and round holes). And quite often, even just punishment X regardless, and not even the option of Y or Z.

The American legal system is actually a complete perversion of any hint of justice and merely a façade to keep the average plebeian and brainwashed American mostly quiet, into thinking they have an actual functioning system of law and order, when in truth, all they have is a system designed to keep the oligarchy well and truly above the rest of their society, while they do whatever they please at the expense of the little people.

Roman law, instead is a perfectly humane and human-based legal system, where a general principle applies, but the details to each case are looked at in the specific. So, yes, murder is generally always wrong, but the pre-meditated murder of a little old lady to steal her pension, is quite different from the premeditated murder of a child rapist. And while the Anglo-Saxon system pretends to adhere to this with various degrees of penalties for various degrees of murder, in reality, the practical aspects are that very often people are forced to make a guilty plea in order to avoid prescribed sentences. The Roman system of law, which is rapidly being ousted by the ever-encroaching Americanism spreading like a plague over the planet, is fundamentally different in that it is dependent on human aspects of life that we are all both familiar and subject too. In Italy, still today, construction contracts are only a few pages long, because the so-called spirit of the law, applies and is self-evident to any honest person. By contrast, in UK law, —which remember has a principle of “the reasonable man”— a similar contract, for a similar job, would be at least a couple hundred pages. In America, it is usually a few hundred pages and also references a bunch of other documents which can run to several thousand pages. As in for example, the Federal rules for Acquisition Regulations. Which is a stack of Satanic nonsense compiled into several volumes that sits well above a metre high if you pile them on top of each other.

Work Ethic and Social Dynamics

The protestant work ethic is often touted as a superior thing above those shiftless Catholics. And I myself, having lived mostly in protestant countries and working as a freelancer all of my life, have also, always appreciated the aspect of the “mechanisation” of work-related routines. The interchangeability of personnel, also meant that as long as I outperformed my colleagues, I would always have a job, since I had an almost endless supply of firms that would be only too eager to slot me in, cog-like, in their machinery. And outperforming my colleagues was not hard to do if your slight autism lets you play “by the book” while your Venetian genetics uses all the instinctual genetic humanity involved to produce results the poor binary thinking protestants can’t even imagine, never mind implement. By contrast, working with my countrymen was exasperating, they would almost never respect deadlines and at times even used strong-arm and duplicitous tactics to stay in the game. As in “Eh… you are already neck deep with us, if you try to get rid of us and change supplier you will lose out even more, so… suck it up and wait/pay.” To which my general response was to play along while I set up an alternative, then I would dump the offenders with a claim on them to boot. I had zero interest in wasting my time talking with them about their (or my) dog, children, whatever, that had zero impact on the job. I never particularly enjoyed my job or work, and I tried to avoid the rat race as much as I could, but when I do enter it, I give it my best to perform my job well. My attitude is pretty much samurai/soldier when it comes to work. It may be a necessary evil, but that doesn’t mean I should be half-assed about it. I perform well for whoever hires me, and have always done so, even when the specific people that hired me, or even the company as a whole may have been populated by complete assholes. When/if their evil/retardation/dishonesty/harm-causing behaviour crossed a certain point I simply left. And in a few cases, took corrective action to the point they would fire me. I have never been fired by “surprise”, I always knew it was coming and why, and it was usually because I put them in a position where they either corrected their ways (which, paradoxically would also improve their profit margins) or got rid of me for being a “meddlesome interloper” as they would see it in their corrupt view, instead of an honesty and profit increasing asset, as I would see it, looking merely at the bottom line and not the egos of the people involved.

All of that preamble to say that I too was under the mistaken idea that a Protestant work-ethic was superior. Well… after a couple of years in a decidedly non-protestant operating country, I have to re-evaluate that idea massively. So, here in note form, are the “positives” of the protestant work ethic:

  • Increase efficiency in the final result overall
  • Increased efficiency in production/delivery/timeline
  • Increased efficiency if there is illness/absenteeism
  • Reduced down time when critical people die/leave
  • Standardisation of systems and methods across the board
  • Standardisation even across industries
  • A supposed “positive” is work-life being very distinct from home-life
  • Due to the standardisation even average or sub-average people can “perform” “adequately”.

Now, pretty much every one of those points turns into a negative for the Catholic work ethic. Less efficient, and so on. However, two of those points above are a “positive” in the Protestant world, but actually a negative in the Catholic world. So let’s consider what the positives of a Catholic work ethic are:

  • Personal relationship based results. Loyal customers and well-performing companies are generally given automatic preferential treatment.
  • Meritocracy based results. Those that perform well can rise to the top because the average is so generally poor on things like delivery timelines.
  • In general, attention to quality in bespoke items is second to none. Timelines are non-existent, but often quality is unmatched by Protestant systems until those systems are mechanised by sufficiently advanced technology; in some industries this wipes out the Catholic competition, but in others the Catholic version is unlikely to ever be replaced by mere AI and higher technology.
  • The absence of a neat separation between work and home life seems impractical and intrusive to Protestants, but, if your society is composed of Catholic-observant human beings, then there should be no huge separation. Which is why they take a siesta in the middle of the day and see their families for lunch. The human connection aspect is more important than the chase for profit margins. Seeing your children at lunch-time and taking a break is good for the family and the mental health of all involved. The customer is of course important, but always second-fiddle to my family and my good friends. As it should be. And of course, those good customers that become also friends, eh… you might work through the weekend or at 3 am to help them out. Because they are friends, not because of profit.
  • The relationships are generally more human-based. In general, if I do work with an Italian firm (after careful selection and experience with them) I am also happy having those guys over for lunch at my house or vice-versa. This has hardly ever been the case with the semi-automatons I worked with (even quite pleasantly) in the Anglo-Saxon world. While I am happy enough having Giovanni the client or sub-contractor over for lunch, the last fucking thing either me or John from the UK want, is to spend any more time in each other’s company after work. And that’s even if I like John and he likes me. John may be a great guy, and he may think the same of me, but John knows, that he will see me at the office, and he will keep well away from my front door. And I will extend the same basic courtesy to him. This is why Anglos will have “team-building” days. The Latins look at that and go, “What is this shit? Are you trying to force us to like each other? That’s not gonna work!” And it doesn’t. I never heard of a Latin firm doing “team-building” days. They do invite and spoil clients to lavish dinners or things like that, but even then, it is only in the last decade or so that this has become more common-place. And generally used to be more of a way to introduce themselves to a client. Hey we build blue widgets and you seem to like blue widgets, can we take you for a nice dinner and chill so you will later come visit our factory and see what you think?

In short then, the protestant work ethic is a better machine. But do you want to spend half your life inside a machine? Or would you rather spend your life surrounded by all the messy inefficiency of humans, but also their beautiful and redeeming human aspects too? I for one was convinced the Protestant way was better. I am misanthropic by nature (and by virtue of my IQ I learned later in life, which makes me feel generally bored or exasperated by average humans for the most part) and have learnt since a young age that I can be fine in quite extended solitude. However, if you develop your charity, humanity, and grace, broadening your perspective of the average human (yes, ok, he may not grasp physics, or astronomy, or respect deadlines, or keep proper accounts, or, or, or… but… he is a great dad, a loyal husband, and will come help you with totally unrelated stuff at 2 am because he’s a good guy) then the Catholic perspective is INFINITELY better, because it allows you to interact with your fellow humans in a much more pleasant way even if you have very little in common with them, and that interaction is not the same as the plastic-world “Have a nice day!” of the USA. It may be a grumpy “Ah, what a shit day, fighting with the wife, screw it!” or it may be “Have a nice day!” but it is intrinsically more human and connected. So yeah, you may not get your work done in the timelines you wanted and if that is all you see, you will eventually move to a 15 minute city merely for the organised functions. Or you know, a prison. Things run on time there too. But if you are interested in the humanity of life, then, you will begin to enjoy the messy side of life, out here in the Catholic “jungle”.

The Subtle Implications of Boxed-in/Binary Thinking

This is the most subtle aspect, but —in my opinion— also the most important. Because Catholicism is true, and founded on God’s Will, it generates a certain “built-in” charity and grace when dealing with the rest of humanity, tempered by a steely resolve to do whatever is necessary to preserve our way of life, our loved ones, and innocents in general. There is a very wide and fluid range of human interactions, which have as wide a capacity for harmony even between very different personalities as possible. Which is not to say that there are not hard lines. There are. But, just as God finds extremely improbable, even miraculous ways to turn even evil to an ultimate good, so too, the average Catholic has a much wider supply of responses to life and other people, all while inhabiting the very clear lines of Catholic dogma. The protestant, not having a culture or tradition, or habit of being imbibed in humanity and its myriad idiosyncrasies, nor viewing them through a theological lens that is also in keeping with both God’s mercy and charity as well as God’s Justice, is far more limited in his response to both situations and people. Things tend to fall into a good or bad category. Permissible or forbidden. Much like the Anglo legal systems, these approaches to life, events, and especially other people, including your children, is very sub-optimal, and over time leads to quite serious perversions of reality and life. Particularly for the raising of children.

My wife at times got upset with me for treating each of our children differently when faced with situations that are apparently, superficially, the same. It took some time for her to begin to appreciate what I explained, that each child is unique, and their internal motivations, drives, and responses are unique and different from each other. It has absolutely nothing to do with any child being more or less like me, or me caring more or less about any one of them over another. I would take a bullet for any of them without hesitation in exactly the same fashion. The point is that you need to adjust the lesson to the individual (again, Roman Law over Anglo “law”).

Having had the benefit of doing and teaching martial arts for some decades, it became very clear that everyone improved faster when the lesson was general for everyone, but the corrections or suggestions were unique to every person in the class. how much more important this is with your own children!

But to a Protestant, this can seem unfair, unbalanced, or being biased or preferential of one person, or group of people, over another. It certainly can appear that way, and be experienced that way by the subject of the treatment, but it is in fact, nothing of the sort. It is the best approximation of actual Justice, since one tries to adapt the situation to the details of the individual or group involved. Anyone that has ever been in serious martial arts, or life and death situations on a regular basis as a pert of their routine, will understand this. Farmers will understand this too. Basically anyone that has to deal with reality in ways that give a serious consequence if you don’t deal with reality but rather your own erroneous perception or idea of it.

This “simplification” of perception, is a real issue and a real problem in the Protestant dominated Zeitgeist (which is pretty much almost completely global by now). And it applies at every level of life, be it the interpretation of natural phenomena (see Rupert Sheldrake’s excellent ideas on even things such as the speed of light on this and other topics), reality in general, theological concepts simplified to the absurd (sola scriptura, sola fides, once saved always saved, all completely unmitigated nonsense any normal child of ten sees for the completely illogical rubbish it is), and really, pretty much all human interactions. Everything from sex (instead of lovemaking) to friendship, becomes transactional and calculated, even if unconsciously, to an extent that damages and degrades the actual humanity between humans. And in fact has steadily done so for five centuries, and taken some nitrous oxide in the last fifty or so.

Conclusions

The afternoon siesta, the inability to use watches or stick to well-balanced “just-in time” delivery schedules, all pale in comparison to the benefits gained by stopping in the middle of your work-day because you saw Paolo and you grab a coffee together, as is, your ability to forgive Giorgio for having done the same thing and coming to pick up your car a day late.

Just as I would rather die fighting to be left OUT of a 15 minute city, in the feral and untamed, wild and unpredictable “jungle” outside of it, so too, I have come to appreciate the humanity of my Catholic ancestors to a huge and fundamentally important degree. I hope you can benefit from these thoughts, and am very open to discussing these points with intellectually aware and honest interlocutors. So, feel free to let me know your views, while keeping in mind the rules.

Who’s a Good Catholic Then?

My friend Tony sent me a link to this article, which is a very decent and short, to the point, article on Catholicism today. He deals well with the whole Sedevacantist and not sedevacantist issue.

In essence, and much more politely, it is not far from what I have been saying for years now.

And in case you are not aware, in summary, my position is this:

  • ANY clergy of the Novus Orco are NOT Catholics, nor valid clergy at all, and not members of the Church. If ordained before 1958 (or 1964 if one wants to be extremely charitable) they are apostate heretics that have defected from the faith, as per canon 188.4 of the Code of Canon Law of 1917. If they were “ordained” after 1964 at the latest, then they are not validly ordained to begin with and in any case the charge of non-catholic, either because knowingly and intentionally heretic or never-was catholic/Freemason/Satanist, or heathen pretending to be Catholic through INEXCUSABLE ignorance. Which all results in all the same thing: They are ALL, without exception, to be treated as heretics. Should ANY ONE or more of them, confess, publicly, repent and accept the true Catholic position, then, as per Cum Ex Apostolato Officio, they should spend the rest of their days sequestered in a remote monastery in perpetual penance and with authority over precisely no one.
  • Any layman that subscribes to the Novus Ordo (Orco, I say, ORCO!) in abysmal ignorance and laziness of their own purported religion, is guilty of laziness and ignorance, but is not, in such cases, a heretic and in his or her genuine innocence, remains, in fact, by virtue of their actual ignorance, a member of the Catholic Church. HOWEVER, if you have read this far, that no longer applies to you. If you have heard of the controversy of Vatican II, of sedevacantists now being the only Catholics, and so on, it is incumbent upon you to research and satisfy yourself of what the truth is, and where the actual Catholic Church is. So, while ignorance might be “bliss”, wilful ignorance is not. At best, such people who refuse to educate themselves once the facts are presented before them, are definitely guilty of wilful ignorance, wilful laziness (sloth) and probably a good dose of pride. While these people might still be considered Catholics, they are in definite error and wilfully so, and should be shunned and shamed, as one would a perpetual fornicator, adulterer, habitual drunk, and so on.
  • Sedevacantists are the only genuine Catholic left.
  • Disagreements amongst sedevacantists are not “schisms” but merely personal opinions they may hold, of which some will be in error and some will be less so. Humans are always in some degree of error, as we Catholics know, so this is nothing new or a reason for trying to label the other as a “schismatic” or heretic. And generally, the lay-people of Novus Orco “Catholicism” are also merely ignorant and/or lazy, but can be considered Catholics, though in error. There, are however, among them, definite wolves in sheep’s clothing, so SOME of these lay people can in fact be heretics and/or (more likely) Freemason/Satanists intent on leading the masses astray. Case in Point, see the degenerate Milo. Or any of a bunch of Opus Dei funded grifters.

In general terms, the article says the same sort of thing, except that I have two objections, a major and a minor one.

My “major” objection, is one that I well understand can be used by enemies as pointing to my “arrogant self-determining authority” (it is no such thing. I can simply read and do logic, just like insisting that 2+2 is 4 is not arrogant, regardless of how many fools say it is 5) and by idiots to become protestant in their “interpretation” of canon law, (the 2+2 = purple brigade) so one must tread carefully when voicing it, but in essence, it is this:

Whether a Pope is valid or not may not ALWAYS be absolutely and immediately obvious, but, logic, and God, demands that they eventually become so. Because Catholicism is the TRUTH and as such, sooner or later it reveals itself. And when it does, it does so unambiguously. Because the truth, like math, is not subject to opinion. And canon law is, like math, eternal and not subject to opinion, only error by those not adequately possessed of the faculties required to understand it, just as math is not subject to opinion, but only error in the same way.

In this regard then, I object completely to the idea that is initially expressed along the lines of “well, if everyone goes along with it (Bergy the Oleous being Pope) you gotta as well”. I no more need do this than go along with 2+2 being recognised as being 5 by an overwhelming majority.

Truth is not decided by a majority but by the laws of nature, reality, and God. End of.

And a second objection: quoting this or that doctor of the Church is irrelevant in trying to make a definitive argument. It is really merely a distraction. At best it can just be supporting evidence to further elucidate the only thing that matters: dogmatic, canon law.

In this regard then, while I understand, and appreciate the writer’s intent, and it is a very noble and good one, and I do not wish to detract from his fine points, well and succinctly explained, I must point out that, if one is careful, observant, and follows the rules of Roman Law (which are essentially reason and logic turned to the human condition) there is no ambiguity as to whom is or is not a valid Pope, and, as I have detailed in my works, from 28th October 1958, that is, from Roncalli on, we have not had a valid Pope to date.
