On the basis of the recent poll I got this request:
Something Else – How to Survive Long Term in a WWIII Scenario for a married man with young children (Shelter, Food & Water, Surviving extreme Heat/Cold, Defense, How to keep your wife and children in good spirits, Not drawing attention to yourself, etc.)
It’s a pretty comprehensive question and an entire book could be written about each of the topics, so my reply will necessarily be brief and somewhat generic, but hopefully still specific enough to make a difference.
Good Spirits
Also known as Morale, may be the most important factor of all. It certainly tends to be in most conflicts throughout human history.
You should be aware of this, especially for your wife and children more than other factors. Consider: If you move to rural buttfuck-of-nowhere intersection and Hillbilly country, you might feel wholly relaxed that no one will waste a nuke or military to come steal your 3 goats and 15 chickens. However, your wife might miss things like actual shops where you buy food instead of have to skin and gut whatever you shot for dinner. She might even like to get a coffee at a cafe once in a while, frivolous degenerate that she is (joke! That’s a JOKE!). The rugged life of an off grid prepper that has his own bomb-shelter may be the stuff of manly dreams and boyhood joy, but generally is not seen in the same light by the gentler sex. So discuss these things and make sure everyone is clear on the difficulty and/or changes of lifestyle. Are there women out there that would love this life-style, sure. But they are a minority. And almost everyone likes hot water and indoor plumbing, and not freezing in winter. So, read my 4 part series on taking on clown world and winning (use the search me button on the right). If you do, you will see that ideally you need to pick your place on the basis of the geography you want to have ideally. Although, for most people that is already set, it is not too late to make the jump now (it is likely to be more expensive if you want to do it quickly, as always). The factors affecting morale are endless, and even more so for women, so it is difficult to give sound advice to all. One lady I spoke to was having trouble being an hour or so away from her family in what is still a pretty civilised area of a very urban country. She had not been living further from her parents than a few minutes and the change was a shock. The rural area she was in was not remote by any means but felt like it to her and feeling isolated with small children made her days feel like an interminable Groundhog Day. So you need to consider these things and take them into account.
Unlike men, most women will not be happy with an ideally fortified home in an ideal rural area, with a secure bomb shelter under the house, gun ports and plenty of weapons and stock-piles of ammo, food and clean water. Unless you have a wife like the one of the main guns-ho guy in the Tremor Films, what would seem to be ideal to a man is rarely ideal to a woman. She wants mani-pedi and spa locations nearby, a good hairdressers, nice friends to gossip and laugh with about the goings on in the town and their respective husbands and girlfriend’s love affairs and so on. Trivial nonsense that doesn’t matter in a hot war zone? You bet.
On the up-side, it’s mostly because women like these things that we don’t live in a permanent hot war zone, for the most part. Because we men tend to want to please them. And do they appreciate our efforts to give them a poisonous Starbucks on every corner in lieu of bashing irritating neighbours over the head with a nicely shaped stick? Not even a Thank you, kind Sir, I tell you. It’s just the way they are. No point getting upset about it.
So, the HOW you ensure good morale with your wife, is a giant minefield that no one on the internet can possibly navigate fully for you. I can only tell you to not ignore it, prepare for it, prepare her for it and consider that the things that are so insignificant to you that they may never even have entered your head all your life, might be extremely important for her. After all… she doesn’t even think about Rome daily!
Women are primarily solipsistic, so if they experience some discomfort, the Universe is out of whack and God should stop and make it right (through you mostly) and if He (you) don’t, then, you must be the problem. By and large. Your 14 hour days stacking wood for winter, pondering how to build a biological septic tank and your own solar panels, really are not as interesting to her as you would expect of any normal person.
You need to have a very deep connection based on honesty with your wife in order to navigate this well. And keep in mind off-grid farming is brutally hard. And even harder with small children to look after. So, building your community, having one that is active and fun and good is very helpful. Having little friends for your children is also very helpful.
That all said, I sincerely hope that your wife is good natured enough to be the kind of person that can read this entry and laugh, in unadmitted generic agreement with my caricatures. And more importantly, that she is smart and logical and objective enough, to realise that if and when the SHTF, she better be ready to take up a shovel and dig the dirt with you, and at minimum reload the rifles while you hold off the zombies, and preferably shoot some of them herself. How you find/foster/cultivate/generate that delicate balance of manicured nails, pretty, sexy dresses and chocachinos with friends with the realities of having your entrenched fall-back positions for the zombie apocalypse is a puzzle you need to figure out on your own. But figuring it out is VERY important, so don’t ignore it.
Children can generally be kept in good spirits by simply spending time playing with them and teaching them things in good order. Which of course takes up a lot of time, but our children (the little ones) are learning from us all the time and actually enjoy being helpful. The two older ones may need ye old dad’s foot in the backside to motivate them, because they were raised outside of functional family structures, unfortunately, but they are definitely improving and will get there soon enough, and when they do the sense of achievement for them and us both is also an awesome feeling to have. So make the entire concept of having good morale a game you enjoy instead of a chore you dread.
Not Drawing Attention to Yourself
Better than that is being thought of well by your neighbours and community. Help the people near you and be friendly and genuinely a good guy. Of course, if and when the SHTF they will also all come looking to you for help, so you need to balance that. For me that is relatively easy. I am a misanthrope by nature and don’t like people much as a rule, but I am polite and friendly to everyone, until they give me reason not to be, then there is no mistaking who I am and what kind of level of “force” I can bring to bear if required. Generally, if people realise you’re a nice guy but have no hesitation in turning heads of bad guys into pink clouds at the drop of a hat, you get the right balance of helpful (and good) friends, and respectful strangers. The down side is that if and when they DO get organised to come for you, they will actually be a force that is organised and to be reckoned with. But that is my way, because it comes naturally to me. You need to find your own natural way and work your strengths and better your weaknesses. I am not particularly worried about organised roaming gangs of zombies, because if and when it comes to that, there probably isn’t a worse guy to go after in a radius that probably reaches the nearest army base. Even so, I have made good friends where I live and will help my neighbours if I can or when needed and they do the same in return.
Shelter, Heat and Cold
Obviously, your primary home needs to be suitable for wherever you have chosen (or are forced) to live. I tried to pick a place that is not too extreme one way or the other, but in reality, it gets snow in winter (which will probably only increase over time) and is a bit too hot in summer with a lot of attendant bugs in all seasons (flies and mosquitoes in summer and stink bugs in winter). If the weather changes drastically here, a greenhouse will become a requirement (and I plan to have one anyway at some point) and livestock might require better shelter, but your primary shelter and provisions for heating in cold climate is obviously a priority that needs to be faced and that you need to be ready to address in a grid down situation. If not, I suggest you move! It is a lot easier to survive hot places than cold ones. I have plenty of wood to last me literally years and I installed a large wood stove that can heat the whole house and also be used for cooking (not as quickly as the gas stove, but in an emergency, the house remains livable and we can still cook food even without electricity or gas).
The next big item is electrical independence. the easiest way to have some of this is to have a generator and some fuel set aside. It is however a temporary and not a long-term solution. You eventually want to get at least enough solar panels to run your fridge and a couple of lights and at least one or two power tools at a time.
My gasifier project was meant to do this by providing wood to fuel a gasifier that could power a generator, meaning I would not have to rely on petrol. That project, however, has so far been a failure. Which is not to say it is impossible, only that the effort required to make it work in the first place is a lot more than I thought, and more importantly, the effort required to keep it functional if you get it working might be even an order of magnitude higher. That said, I still want to provide value to the people that supported the project, so I am looking at alternatives ways to at least give them something that might be of use or interest for them.
Conclusions
Overall, the main issues are to create a home that is self-sufficient in terms of the basics: Water, heating, food, electricity, and sewage processing.
If you have achieved that, 90% of your problems are taken care of. After that it’s just being able to maintain and even improve on things as you go and preparing with better shelter, better community engagement, better weapons, better food stockpiling and even alternatives to using cash and especially digital money. The economy WILL collapse at some point, it’s not an if, but a when, and when it does desperation will drive people to accept whatever draconian slavery will be imposed on them. The whole point is for you to be able to survive completely apart from that, and in turn be able to inspire and help others near you do the same.
If you saw the recent (2020) series based on the Brave New World of Aldus Huxley (and with he same name) you want to be one of those “troglodytes” living outside of the “utopic” city. And you certainly don’t want to end up caught by them and influenced and ultimately caged by them in any way. Ultimately, you want to be able to roam free and either KEEP them all locked up in their cities, or have their cities crumble to dust with the architects of them buried under them.
The sheer number of young men that I at first simply thought were rudderless, spineless, weaklings, is huge.
And perhaps many of them are. But I was also surprised by the enormous improvement and sensible life choices many of them make with only a little guidance. This post then, is like the postcard version of all you need to know to be a successful man.
And please understand that by “successful” I do not mean having great wealth or being famous or anything along those lines. Those things are incidental to the action and reality of being simply a man. In the order given below then, with mere bullet-points and little to no explanation of each of the points, except the last, here it is:
First decide what kind of man you want to be. What attributes, what values, what skills, what is important to the man you want to be and what is not. You can take inspiration from anyone or anything, from comic book characters, historical figures, or people you know, but decide who you would like to be. And try not to limit yourself. Obviously if you are 5’ 4” you aren’t going to become 6’ 4”, but aside physical axioms, you can decide how honest, how proficient at a chosen skill and so on.
Second: Work at it. From now until the day you die. If you feel at any point you have already achieved all you can in terms of who you want to be, you’re either lazy or aiming too low.
Chose your own path. Yes you will make mistakes, but everyone does, and your own are far more tolerable than having to live with the consequences that arise from making someone else’s mistakes.
Listen to everyone and ignore them all. Sounds contradicting but is really paradoxical. EVERYONE will give you free advice on EVERY aspect of your life. And most of it is bullshit. So, go ahead and ask or listen to it, but realise that in the end only YOU make the decisions in your life for everything in it, and that happens as a result of those —YOUR— decisions. No one else’s.
Respect hierarchies that deserve respect. Ignore fake one.
When it comes to women, remember that infinite topics are reduced to pithy sayings only as a result of large number statistics and generalities. And while that is true, generalities are still facts, just not every time; only most of the time. Most PUA stuff is advice given by people who think human beings are reducible to a set of mathematical variables. And who prey on the wallets of men. All you really need to know and do is simply to be a man, that is, your best self as per the advice above, and stick to your guns. Not unreasonably so, not eternally and unchangingly. Just most of the time in most of the ways.
On that last point especially, a recent conversation I had with my wife was quite endearing. I forget how we got onto the topic, I seem to recall it may have been to do with mentioning our son and life advice for the future and so on. In any case, my comment was simply along the lines that all a man needs to do is stick to his own road and way. Because women have no idea what they really want, and it changes with the weather, or the alignment of the planets and so on. So if you were to try and change your life in accordance with that, you will achieve the opposite kind of result you want and be miserable throughout it, and, so would the woman you are trying to please. That last being the key point almost all men today (and pretty much all women) get wrong, or don’t understand. She looked at me for a second or two, then smiled and kind of shyly carried on looking at me in that way she has. I always knew she was the right one. Long before she did.
And she told me a story about one of her relatives who as a young man really liked this girl, and when he told her and her other relatives about it, every one of the women present advised him to stay away from the girl, as they deemed she was trouble and up to no good and would get him in trouble too. She went on to say how this young man ignored all of them and carried on his pursuit of this girl. And now, years later they are not just married with children, but very happily so. And she said how glad she was he didn’t listen to any of their advice.
We talked about this too and two films come to mind, one is the one with Mel Gibson called What Women Want, which is where Mel gets the power to read the minds of women and in a scene, in a meeting, he reads the mind of what one of the women in the meeting is thinking, so he says exactly what she is thinking so as to get her to agree to whatever the issue was, and she immediately disagrees with him. I thought that was a brilliant aspect of the female mind well-explained.
Another, film, which we recently watched for the second time actually, as we had forgotten about it, is called About Time and is possibly one of the best films I have ever seen. So if you don’t want a spoiler, skip the next paragraph in Italic below this one.
In it, the main character wants to get with this girl and he has the power to travel back in his own timeline. He finally gets the nerve to ask the girl about being with him on the last day of her holidays with his family, and she says, it’s too late now, he should have made his move earlier. So he goes back in time and makes his move earlier and she says they should wait and he should ask her on the last day of her holidays.
Once again, a perfect exposition of how the female mind actually works. Because it has very little to do with linear logic or keeping your word, or being honest and direct. A woman may want to do all of these things, but… and there is always a but… her mood might change, her hormones may be out of balance, the Moon may be full that night and make her euphoric or morose. It’s not even that they mean to lie or be deceptive or inconsistent. A feminine woman will genuinely want to be a good girl, but will still screw this up regularly. And as long as those screw ups are within a certain realm of “passable” a man will forgive them, because from time to time, his life choices for them both will go via forest animal tracks instead of good, safe, highways, and she will forgive him those too.
The worst women, of course, will calculatingly use the fact they are a woman to put into action the very worst, nefarious schemes they planned from the start, then act the poor hormonal victim, but then, narcissists of either sex are a complete nightmare, and we are discussing here non-demonic types of human beings.
The point is that a man should first and foremost be himself. And as the ancient oracle to Delphi stated (a place I visited, by the way) the first rule for a man, is to know himself.
Know who you are. Know who you want to be. Know what you have done and are doing to get there, and what you will keep on doing until you do get there, and then improve on it, to the end of your days.
Now, a man that is himself, that knows who he is and why, and that has chosen to be as he is, consciously —not merely being the result of the hazards and parenting and trauma that invariably shapes all our lives— well, such a man will not veer his path for the mere whimsy of some woman. No matter how pretty she is, or how good in bed, or what promises she makes him. A man needs to, first and foremost, alter his path in the ocean he sails only as a result of his own choices and his own decisions.
Which is not to say he does not consider anyone else or ignores all advice or runs roughshod over the wishes and dreams and desires of his woman or other loved ones. It simply means exactly what I wrote, no more and no less. If you do veer the path for your woman in some way, let it be because YOU decided to do so. YOU calculated the risks and the losses and the gains. YOU decided this move was the best move, and YOU and only YOU will be to blame if it is the wrong move. Because to try and hold your woman to account for YOUR decisions is almost entirely nonsensical, weak, and fruitless.
Of course, YOU will be held responsible by her, for every stupid, weak, bad, decision SHE made that turned out badly. And your reminding her that if she believes the feminine imperative that women have their own agency in reality (the only actual fact of feminist theory, arguable though it is) then her mistakes are hers and hers alone, will not endear her to you (I know, it’s a shocking surprise!). Nor will explaining that if she does reject that feminine imperative, well, then, she should just go along with whatever her husband says and if and when some of his decisions turn out badly, she should be nurturingly understanding and remember all the good decisions he made for her and how the overall total (hopefully!) balances out far more in the positive than the negative.
The point is that ultimately, for all human beings, making your own choices and taking the responsibility that goes with it is your just lot in life. Few human beings live this way though, of either sex. Men generally are statistically a lot better at it than women though. And those men that live this way may have good or bad lives, but for the most part, they at least are at peace with themselves.
If you find a woman that lives this way, and she is happy with you, then marry her. It won’t mean she will not do female things in that infuriatingly chaotic female way. She will. Because she’s a woman. But if she also happens to be the type that in time or at least when faced with the cold facts, realises her own faults and admits them (at least to you and you alone) then, know you have with you an uncommon human being, and as far as women go, practically a unicorn.
And of course, it also helps if you are learned enough in mythology, to know how to guide unicorns to pleasant meadows where they might find fresh water to drink. And then they might choose to do so. While you patiently wait along the shore.
The morons reading this that will assume the usual (me big, bad, patriarchal, misogynist, chauvinist pig and woman, poor victims always and regardless, with all agency but no responsibility whatsoever) are, as I have always said, irrelevant human wreckage, so, as always, don’t just ignore them, shun them from your life, for they are a pestilence and bring nothing good to your life.
Those that are merely severely brainwashed by the modern zeitgeist (and who isn’t on some level) simply need to see, observe, learn and notice in their own lives, that women are happier when able to rely on their man to guide them both through life, with them helping and offering their perspective, but being comfortable letting him “drive” so to speak.
Of course, this is true when the man is actually a man, and not some semblance of a caricature, either being overly “dominant” or rather, arrogant, in an endeavour to cover up his lack of ability/knowledge/status/power/big dick energy/whatever.
And remember that I always make a distinction between an arrogant man (someone who says and/or thinks he can, when he actually can’t) and what in Italian is known as superbo which is a man that says he can, and he can. In short, someone who is not humble, (or at least apparently not humble at first impact or exterior appearance) but not a fake either.
The worst type of “man” is the faker who takes on the airs of a competent and self-conscious man (as in conscious of himself, not as in shy), while being an actual empty shell inside. Such men might fool a woman initially, but bring only misery. While an actually competent man, may or may not land the woman of his dreams, but pretty much any woman that is into him, would be generally happy with him if he is into her too.
But all these more detailed explanation and imaging of overall concept still boil down to basically just one thing:
Be who you choose to be, be consistent with it, and make your way in it. The rest, more or less, will follow and happen as it does and perhaps needs to. And the right woman for you will, indeed, not only follow in your path, she will help beautify it.
Life on this Earth can be very hard, and likely to get harder. Picking the right man or woman to make children with and go through it together is one of the things that makes it absolutely worthwhile. So choose carefully… but first…
As mentioned en passant on a previous post on the infiltrators, a lot of so-called “red-pilled” or MRA (Men’s Rights Activists), or PUA or MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way [incels for short]), or general inches and embittered “men”, make the mistake of assuming I am “one of them” or at least “nominally” on their side.
And ALL the embittered, acidic feminists, as well as the generally brainwashed females of planet Earth assume I am just a misogynist, EEEEBIL (yes with a B, because they are retards after all) woman-hater, patriarchal, oppressor of women everywhere.
And of course, before we delve into this topic at all, let us say a prayer of thanks to the Saintly Professor Cipolla and his first Law of Human Stupidity:
1. Always and inevitably, each of us underestimates the number of stupid individuals in the world
That there are stupid people in the world is well known. But Cipolla was convinced that we underestimated their number and influence in our lives and in society. He stated that “any numerical estimate would prove to be an underestimate”.
It’s enough thinking, for example, of those people we classified as intelligent but who suddenly begin to behave in a foolish and obtuse manner. Or it’s enough going out to the street to see how many people insist on hindering us, for no apparent reason other than stupidity.
Ave professor, Ave.
Armed with his fundamental concept, let us then proceed to discuss in a little more detail my actual take on women.
Very simply put, it is simply Catholic. As we give respect and reverence to Holy Mary, mother of our Lord and Saviour, without any shame or discomfort as experienced by Protestants, who seem to think to do so is somehow “worship” or “unmanly”, so Mary reflects the natural positive aspects of womanhood in general.
The demonic secularisation of Christianity, also known primarily as Protestantism, has caused incalculable damage to humanity over the last 500 years, culminating (and not yet at the apex) in today’s absolutely insane ideology of madness, where even something as absolutely obvious as the sex of a man or woman is “questioned” by the freaks trying to groom children into their disgusting sexual deviancy.
Since time immemorial, however, every sane and normal human being, yes, even the stupid ones, was perfectly aware that men and women are different on every level. Not just physiologically, but also and inevitably psychologically, because after all, form does follow function and mentality follows both form and function. Their different bodies mean also different ways of being, thinking and experiencing reality. The physical structures of a woman’s brain are also physically different from those of a man, and obviously, this too influences their thinking process.
In broad terms (and it bores me to death to have to explain BASIC statistics to retards, so do catch up if you don’t understand what that three word sentence means) we can say that women:
Are less Logical
Are more prone to being emotional
Respond more to Rhetoric than Dialectic
Have shifting hormonal patterns that greatly influence their moods
Are more nurturing and less combative
Tend to nag and complain instead of resolving issues (because it irritates the men into doing whatever it is… eventually)
Tend to want to be “listened to” more than “fixing” the issue
Are more verbal than men
Are absolutely more solipsistic than men
Have a completely different concept of things like Honour, Courage, Friendship, Loyalty, and so on than men do
These are simply observable facts. It really doesn’t matter if you agree or not, if you like it or not, if you understand it or not. the Universe, (and me) really don’t care if you can’t grasp the basic reality placed in front of your nose.
But does the above mean I see women as “useless” or less worthy of men, or that they are somehow inferior?
The ultimate answer is simply: No.
Are women less able than men? Sure, in a BUNCH of things. Pretty much anything requiring physical strength, iron-clad logic (especially under duress) or non-solipsistic abstract thought, they are at a massive disadvantage.
BUT.
And it’s an important but, a feminine woman makes life worth living for a man. Her loving tenderness, her animalistic instinct (acted on in the positive) will produce a sensation of care, love and attention to detail that a man simply would not even think of, but is absolutely able to appreciate and enjoy. The devotion of a woman in love with a man can be insane to the point of self-immolation in a way that goes beyond the rational and conscious self-sacrifice that a man may (and should for the right woman) have towards his woman. They are able to suffer day-to-day grinds that are as detrimental to a man as attempting to be a coal miner would be to a woman. A perfect example I recall that explain this is the one of a Southern Belle recounting the time her husband went to do a shopping trip in a supermarket for the first time. And consider these two had been married a long time and have grandchildren. She said when her husband came home with the shopping, he dropped the bags off then immediately went to his wife and thanked her profusely and hugged and her and told her how much he appreciates and loves her for doing all the shopping for all the years they were together. I laughed when she told the story, and she was of good humour telling it. And it absolutely represents the natural instincts of a man and a woman. A woman actually (probably? Almost?) enjoys going shopping. Especially if not rushed and able to buy what she wants without worrying too much about budgeting (but, conversely, they are also good at budgeting if they are provided parameters). While a man is just as likely to prefer being in a trench in a bloody war than traipse at funeral speed through endless shelves of despair and soul-crushing routine.
Her caring and listening to every little issue her little children tell her about is a necessary and important part of their feeling loved and cared for. Of course, a father too should never ignore his children, but let’s say that my enthusiasm for their showing me their scribbles “art” wanes somewhat at the 14th example. On the other hand, when it will be time to teach them to drive, or handle a firearm, or discuss the Illiad, or the principles of astronomy, or how a star works, and so on, they will find it difficult to have a more enthusiastic teacher than their father. And this balance, this being present in both the day-to-day minutiae, as well as the life-defining aspects, balanced between both father and mother is pivotal in having healthy childhood. It is indispensable. And yes, it is true that statistically, single mothers turn out far worse prospects for their children than single fathers, because an objective understanding of the Universe is gained primarily from the father, and not having a good grasp of that invariably leads you to bad choices in life. But the absence of motherly love can also result in an austere, somewhat desertic, self-evaluation that is not healthy, especially if that man or woman in turn goes on to become a parent.
Just like I do not think less of a man that has no warrior instinct, because he has the soul of a painter, of maybe of a farmer, I do not think less of women for their different skills and abilities. I cannot give birth to a child, nor would I ever want to, and I am infinitely grateful that women can and do this.
In short, when it comes to dealing with the world, it is just, proper and normal that the man leads in this. And leads absolutely in extreme situations. The reason is obvious: A man (if he is worthy of the name) is more objective, is more logical, is instinctively designed to put his family first and himself last in situations of extreme danger or even death. And in general, being non-solipsistic is better able to plan ahead and for the future of his family, children and wife, without being as easily swayed by temporary set-backs, difficulty or hardship.
And it is also just and proper that, generally speaking, if a woman wants a specific set of plates or layout of a room, (as long as certain basic practicalities are not ignored) or detail of their home life to be just so, that she should feel free to have it her way. The exception, of course, is any specifically male space the man has in the house, and/or, the in any way messing with his tools/weapons/workshop/study/books.
Similarly, a child is far more appreciative of the general attentiveness his mother gives to things like the clothes they wear, the school lunches she prepares for them, and so on. While a man’s general attitude is more akin to: Is it snowing? Here is a huge weatherproof jacket, boots and gloves and a hat. So what if it’s bright yellow, the boots are pink and the hat green with a pom-pom? Packed lunch? What, you can’t catch something and cook it over an open flame? What do they even teach you at kindergarten anyway?
The balance between a man and a woman is delicate, but not so delicate as you may think. It is increasingly difficult in the modern era mostly because of the degrees of lies that women have had inculcated in their heads (it’s easier to fool a woman with nonsense aimed at her solipsistic nature inspiring a victim complex, since it uses her own biological weaknesses against her). And of course, men have been lied to as well, using the same “chink in their armour” of “well, just man up”, which in a way is true, however, actually manning up, would probably look more like an armed rebellion that hangs all politicians from the nearest lampposts, rather than a peaceful demonstration about men’s rights that achieves precisely nothing. Instead they try and convince men to just shut up and take whatever new emasculating, humiliation ritual they come up with while convincing women that they are poor, oppressed victims of sexist men.
It’s all lie. Men’s natural instinct is to protect and take care of women’s primary needs. And women’s natural instinct is to nurture, feed and take care of her man’s secondary needs of comfort, peace and tenderness.
A very feminine woman and a very masculine man will feel a natural attraction to one another, but if you think the modern world is in any way conducive to their finding peaceful bliss right off the bat, you’re dreaming. The path to that has to be consciously chosen by both. Held to firmly by the man and eventually understood and appreciated by the woman too. In fact, the natural dynamic between the manly man and the womanly woman, was always a spark-filled dynamic since ancient times. The stories could as easily result in tragedy as in heroic bliss. Perhaps more often tragic in fact, if the ancient poems and legends are to be believed. Even so, the risk, for those men willing to take it, always seems worthwhile to them, it’s just that in modern times, the “crazy” of the feminine woman has risen exponentially and has far more paths to lead down nefarious ends. Which means the man must have all the more resolve, calm and steadiness in all things. A man’s strength lies in his willingness and ability to simply walk away if a when a woman is unwilling to listen to reason. Not as a ploy, not in anger, not as some kind of “game” theory. But simply, as just the truth of life. Hard as it may be; painful as it may be; if and when you have determined what is the ultimate truth of a situation, you are best served by taking the objective course of action that follows from it. Because in the end, that is the path you will be most able to live with in your own dark moments. The Ancients Greeks at Delphi said:
“Man, know thyself.” And they were right. I would add, “And act accordingly.”
In the end, if a man is simply coherent, consistent and true to himself, I guarantee a woman that fits with him exists in the world, and his chances of getting with her and eventually finding a lasting happiness with her are far better than if he simply tries to modify himself to try to fit with what he perceives is “expected” of him.
Fuck what the “world” wants. Let the world worry about how to fit to truth, justice and beauty instead, while you hold to those things and navigate life by them.
Remember, as Catholicism clearly states, we live in the world, but do not be of it. As a man, it is your duty to live, aspire to, and inspire in others, the virtues of life. Truth, Justice, Honour, Courage, Beauty.
Hold that line, friend.
Hold that line as surely and as absolutely as your Spartan ancestors held theirs, at Thermopylae. And let your stance reflect, and reverberate, and shape history, and inspire men for thousands of years to come, no matter what the specific fate of your individual life might be.
Over the last few days (and years and years) I have posted various things highlighting several of the very disordered aspects of modern society. I have specifically focussed in various ways on relationships between men and women, and how these are affected by so much of the surrounding nonsense.
I have often pointed out the Satanic nature of feminism (literally, it has purely Satanic roots at all levels, no matter how seductive the initial presentation is), which, of course, upsets feminists, and may rub many women the wrong way even if they are not avowed feminists.
The measure of discomfort a woman feels on reading that feminism is a net evil in the world is directly proportional to her lack of understanding of what it means to be a woman in reality, nature and as God intended.
And if that last sentence makes you even more upset, well, it’s unlikely you will have the mental fortitude to read the rest of this post, or ever learn anything useful about correcting the ills of the world, starting with yourself, as we all must.
In fairness to women, and as I have pretty much always stated, the fault of their disordered attitudes to life, lies in great part with men. That said, however, unless women want to be thought of, treated as, and in fact be, the human equivalent of cattle without any agency whatsoever, they need to take at least some responsibility. Incidentally, I advise they do. A vast majority of men would be perfectly happy to assume women have no more agency than ruminants, but I don’t think that’s the way forward.
So, then, according to me, and a lot of thoughtful men, what is it that women are getting so wrong and should make an effort to improve?
Settle down and let me mansplain it to you. Feel free to imagine me manspreading with a cowboy hat on and a redneck accent if it helps. Hell, if it helps go ahead and really fire up your imaginations and try and imagine me with a mullet and a cigarette. Whatever works ladies, whatever works!
The pivotal error most women have been trained to do, is to stop being women. To stop being feminine, and girly, and pretty, and pleasant, and polite, and dignified, and well-dressed. Yes, in effect I am saying that the pivotal error is that they are failing to act, be and enjoy being, like a prim and proper lady straight out of a 1950’s fiction about what the future would have been like.
Allow me to present to you some imagery that may help inspire you a little to at least understand what I mean. Try and grasp the sense of what the woman in these images feels like and how she feels about herself and her place in the world. Imagine it as something eminently positive even if you have been hypnotised to believe the opposite. Imagine their smiles, whether in drawings or photographs are genuine and happy, not posed or faked. Genuinely try to grasp the sense of this, and, if you like, imagine too, what the men in their lives are and should be like for them to genuinely be that happy and content and internally free.
And in case you think those images are too “dated” for your sense of modern style, then allow me to further help you “update” them in modernistic fashion as envisioned back then too.
You see, you can transpose the imagery, you can change the setting, you can manipulate the exterior and the style, but it is the inner sense of things which is the key.
What no man wants is this:
Or God-forbid, this:
In fact, almost all men, certainly all sane, well-balanced, normal ones, being confronted with this in their home,
Will gladly and regularly put up with this:
which, by the way, is pretty normal and natural for a woman to have and be like. And occasionally, when we deserve it, and as we are humans, we all do at times, even this:
ESPECIALLY, if it is presented in this very feminine fashion, which is indirectly and sweetly, VERY direct.
Now, to the squeals of the beached whales complaining, my ears are deaf, but to those perspicacious females that noted the question above as to what the man in their life should look like and act like for them to be happy to be as mentioned above, again, perhaps some inspirational imagery is in order.
And again, the images above reflecting men, are not supposed to “inspire” a bunch of metrosexuals to take on the airs of such imagery as boxers, mountaineers, soldiers, and random adventurers so as to impress women. The whole point of such men is that they do what they do because they want to. The impressing or not of others is inconsequential to them.
And while the entrenched feminist will continue to squeal like a poked pig that such patriarchal oppression is endemic of rape-culture and toxic masculinity and blah, blah, blah, who cares… it will be essentially because deep down in their core, like the hole at the centre of the Gamma male’s soul, entrenched feminists have a similar eternal void of self, and deep, deep down know they will never be able to snag, keep and be loved truly by such a man. So, just like the gamma male, they rage. And their rage tries to burn down all men, all pretty, feminine women and all nuclear families.
But every woman who has not yet succumbed to totalitarian feminism, deep down, knows she would love to be with such a stereotypical manly man. Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. And truly, actual manly men, are happy to treat their wives as their princesses as long as they in turn treat them as their kings. It is a mutual admiration society founded in genuine care for the other above our own concerns.
That is not to say the manly man will not screw up from time to time. Or that the feminine woman will not. Humans ALL screw up. But that is not reason enough to give up on them. God didn’t. Jesus let himself be scoured, spat upon and nailed to a cross while wholly innocent in order not to give up on us. So… be kind to each other.
And as we are only human, and not like Jesus, it is perfectly acceptable to completely avoid feminists, not engage with them, not have sex with them, and most certainly not marry or have children with them. And it is equally perfectly acceptable for women to similarly avoid “male” metrosexual “feminist-allies”, and their spineless, manipulative, weak, PUA ways.
What no woman wants, in keeping with the imagery above for what men do not want, is the gamma male:
Ultimately, cliched as it is, the natural order of things is probably most expressed by Tarzan and Jane.
And the 1981 version of the film with Bo Derek as Jane remains one of the better versions. If memory serves, the point where Tarzan meets Jane and sniffs her is very well done. I think it was the 1981 film version, but it’s possible it may have been the 1999 version with Christopher Lambert as Tarzan.
The man being a quasi savage is fine. Dealing with the world, especially if one understands the reality of things, often resembles something not unlike a fight with wild animals (with apologies to all wild animals who do not deserve to be compared to the parasitic classes of human bureaucrats that infest our lives today), but it is the very femininity of his woman that softens his ways with her, and it is his caring and protective masculine efforts that give her that peaceful sense of security that no matter how crazy the world gets, he will take care of her.
Today’s world has made the acting as a man almost illegal. And the acting as a woman something to be disparaged and ridiculed. The effect is most noticeable on women, as they are far more social animals than men are. But the results are destructive and create profound unhappiness in women above all. Quoting various scientific studies is near useless given that overall so-called peer reviewed studies are fake and irreproducible by over 50% of cases, however, you can find some with actual methodology that is explained (if not verified).
Here is an interesting graph that measures overall self-reported happiness (of both men and women) against perceived freedom. From this site.
The interesting thing to note, if you search a bit and try to get a general sense of all these studies, is that general happiness took a dive for everybody starting around 1990, although the trend had been downward already. What happened in 1990? Well, political correctness really started up quite prominently and feminism began its ascendance on steroids.
The world has made it quite difficult for a man to single handedly go and work and provide for a numerous family of a wife and several children.
And equally difficult for a woman to be a home-maker and housewife without being criticised by her (less happy) “peers” for being a spineless doormat, subjugated to the always evil and perverted desires of her male oppressor (aka husband).
The answer needs to be in a certain evolutionary step women need to take and it needs to be a step they understand and choose for themselves.
Just like men had to learn to somewhat curb their temperament. Because challenging a rude waiter, or a slow one, to a death duel with your sixgun or samurai sword apparently is “rude”. And then they went completely overboard correcting in the other direction and outright banning the challenge to a duel as being all “illegal” and “murder-y”, go figure.
Well, anyway, women need to now make the evolutionary step that realises that the opinions of other women, especially, but other people, in general, are pointless to worry about or lose sleep over. My post on whoyour critics most often are, is as valid for women as it is for men. Perhaps even more so (with respect to the who).
If it is rare for an efficient and capable man to be your avowed critic (unless you in fact are, mostly an oxygen thief) when it comes to women, even if they are efficient and capable, they are generally worse than men at gaslighting each other as well as critiquing you unfairly or wholly based on their own failings (usually not to your face though). So in that respect at least, the advice given in that post, is valid for women too.
Biologically, it is objectively harder for a woman to be objective than a man. That is just a fact of nature, and trying to deny it is pointless and counter-productive. Because hormones are real and a thing. Nevertheless, assuming that because of it rationality and good logic are therefore impossible, is a lie. Just as men had to evolve to not let their own hormonally driven instincts direct their actions, so now women need to learn the same lesson.
And remember, always, always, always:
Women are not the enemy. Men are not the enemy. The lies and the liars who speak them are the enemy. And you should give them no quarter and no mercy. Expose them, reject them, and have nothing to do with them.
Safeguard the roles nature intended for us and learn them anew if you must (as most of us have to), supporting each other as you do so and learn together. There is no human unit, group, or community, more important, more necessary, more valid, than the nuclear family composed of one man, one woman and their children. All the rest is shadows and lies and meaningless details in the face of that truth.
So come together and know: You have been lied to. Rediscover. Rebuild. Learn. Marry, for life, make children, and reject the world’s lies and fake “rewards”.
Is it easy? No. Of course not. Your own family, especially if you had boomer parents, is probably riddled with divorce, lack of funds, and dysfunctionality at a core level. That’s the reality. So YOU be the start.
You’re like a rootless couple of shipwrecks on a hostile alien planet. You need to first of all get together, realise you need to make your partnership, your marriage, be the core of everything. Without that, you will not survive. Then do all the things that need doing so your children will be able to start off their lives in a tradition that is worthwhile, healthy and gives them the chance to create a solid footing for their own children.
Make that future bright and real, no matter what difficulties you need to face.

And ignore the human wreckage and misshapen mutants that try and tell you you’re wrong, a racist, some kind of supremacist this or that, a hater, an evil, evil, EEEEBIL (yes with a B) toxic male or spineless female.
They, after all, are evolutionary dead ends. The blind frogs that can’t swim that nature experiments with by the thousands just to have them die off in a genetic cul-de-sac.
Forge ahead and take a picture of the freaks, so you can leave a warning in your photo-album for your grandkids.
This is gonna be a long post, and many will interpret it as either some kind of general shit-cannon against all sorts of supposed “gurus”, or some way to tell you all how clever, smart, and cool I am for having seen the obvious more than a decade ago, or whatever. So let me disabuse you of that notion right from the start.
The ENTIRE point of this post is simply one:
To show, by showing ample working out, with indelible proof, that the best path for men to take, especially young men, is to choose the ancient and classical virtues. Above all seek truth, honour, courage, perseverance, beauty, and justice. Never compromise your personal integrity. Learn from your mistakes. Reject degeneracy, lies, puffed up ego, material status over integrity, and understand why a small deviation into the lies and nonsense of the World, can lead you to perdition, even in only the material sense, even if you are not a believer.
If you learn just this, even only from a secular perspective, later, you may begin to compare the life of a righteous man and how it compares to the life of pious man, and recognise they are the same path. And later still, you may realise that Catholicism has always championed the virtues and rejected the lies. But that is a far-away hope. For now, I want to demonstrate to you, how the snake-oil salesmen, the liars, the peddler of sexualised fantasies, have, and continue, to lead men astray into distraction, nonsense, and perversion, and away from a life that can be truly worth living and is rooted in all that is good in mankind.
Let me show you the ways of the serpents exposed.
PUAs
Pretty much as soon as I became aware of them, I was critical of PUAs, and not once, randomly, but rather, consistently.
From my February 2010 piece linked above, which was probably one of the more gentle criticisms:
By the time that I discovered anything about PUAs I had developed quite happily on my own into a man more than capable to satisfy his curiosity of women. This was a fortunate thing because it allowed me a perspective on PUAs and their techniques that was free of being sucked into the promise of alluring women falling at my feet almost as if by magic. To a degree, I already had this power (insofar as it can be had let’s say) so I could look into and study and evaluate the information with eyes already filled of my own experiences. To sum up PUAs briefly is difficult, however I will try. Initially, most of these guys are frustrated geeks that have broken down social interactions between naturally successful ladies’ men and attractive women. They then practice these routines like social robots and begin to have some success at obtaining sex with these plastic techniques. As their confidence grows they refine the techniques and become more adept at luring an ever increasing series of women to their beds. The more daring then continue into experimenting with multiple partners at a time as well as multiple girlfriends at a time. Some openly, others secretly. By and large though, certain truths remain evident. Even if successful at having multiple sex partners most of these individuals are still what I would consider socially inept people. They may have achieved an ability at obtaining sex from women but that per se does not make them good people necessarily. Or likeable. Or happy. Furthermore, the level of hyperbole in this community is rather extreme; especially when you consider that many of the so called Pick-Up Gurus sell products that supposedly will increase a man’s ability to bed stunningly beautiful women.
In brief, PUAs are not really picking up women. they are picking up men. In order to sell them fancy stories and elaborate processes by which they can supposedly gain sex from alluring women.
Later, they tried to morph into a general, self-betterment community and even went into how you could use PUA tactics to keep your marriage intact.
And later still they even tried to morph into how real relationships were a mixture of game and Churchianity.
At every turn, the targets were other men.
It is probably true that some desperate men did gain some benefits from some of these guys, but that’s more along the lines of me coming closer to Christianity by reading the arch-heretic Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In other words, more by random luck, effort on their part, and that leading to something positive. Overall, however, the whole PUA movement was mostly a con. And the people who set themselves up as gurus often poor excuses for functional human beings. One of the most egregious examples was a guy who called himself Mehow, who produced a whole host of products and seminars and books, all aimed at men and teaching them “Game”.
From the same 2010 post:
Mehow has been in the pick-up community pretty much to the exclusion of everything else (it’s his day job as well as his lifestyle) for some 10 years. He also has spent by his own admission about $500,000 of what seems to mostly be daddy’s money to set himself up in the “PUA business”. Again by his own admission in 10 years of hard partying day and night full-time and being trained by the biggest and best Pick-Up Artists in the world, gaining invaluable knowledge of body-language, NLP and who knows what other mystical seduction arts of his own invention, and spending half a million dollars essentially on this sexual crusade, what is Mehow’s tally? By his own admission again, as of about mid 2009, Mehow had had carnal knowledge of “something like 30 to 40 girls”.
So, yes, most PUAs are hyperbolic, dishonest, socially inept guys, preying mostly on desperate and other sexually inept men first and foremost, and possibly the occasional drunk, indiscriminating, kind of woman they might get a one night stand with.
But it gets more insidious than that.
The mindset created by PUAs is one of accelerated mechanisation of human beings. In this respect, the mechanisation of women as mere sexual masturbation devices for men. And, by cause and effect, the mechanisation of men as masturbation devices, and/or, walking wallets for women.
In short, it is a destruction of intimacy, humanity and genuine connection between men and women.
And I wrote this even during the relative “height” (or depth, if you prefer) of my own depravity, when I was never short of female company. Even in my hedonistic phase, I always preferred a genuine connection, however brief, rather than mere sexual relief. I especially never indulged in sex with any woman that was under the influence of anything. Certainly not as a beginning anyway. Once I was comfortable with a woman I had been seeing for some time, it did happen here and there that they may be a little drunk after a party (I never was, I have been drunk precisely once and that was by choice under rather controlled conditions), but certainly compos mentis enough to know precisely what was happening and be quite enthusiastic about it.
My point here is that even as a non-christian of any kind, even in my zen-agnostic, hedonistic general approach to life, I never saw the PUA stuff and the related attitudes as anything other than the weak, pissing about, damaging, cowardly actions of sub-standard men.
And time has proven me eminently correct.
The point here is not to focus on how smart or cool or prescient I am/was, but to note the pattern. To notice what made me notice (lack of virtue in their ways and at least basic adherence to at least some virtue for myself).
And to notice the path and the trajectory of these “men” who instead either fell into, or promoted the PUA grift and general attitude.
Let us then, notice the paths of some of these characters and who and how and where they link to and where they ended up.
A relatively decent article (despite it being by buzzfeed) and already 4 years old, overall is pretty good about the whole situation of PUAS, and Mystery and some of the early PUAS. Mostly, they really are scattered like rats, with a few hangers on like Mystery himself, trying to reinvent himself (and failing).
Some, like Tyler Durden (Owen Cook) as can be seen from this review video of his “skills” which also includes some of his seminar antics (about 6 minutes in and later too) make both men and women marvel at the fact that he managed to procreate. I mean, does this not look like a macho-man that women naturally swoon over to you? No? Why then, the problem must be with you then, naturally!
But ok, enough of these sad creatures. I think you can do your own research to figure out they are basically noxious beings. They are pathetic, but they also have contributed to the ongoing degeneration of life in general as far as it relates to intimate relationships. But where did they originate from?
The “Hypnosis” and NLP Connection
And here we come to some little known truths. A LOT of the whole “Game” and PUA stuff started with Hypnosis, and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is the brainchild of two guys: Richard Bandler and John Grinder. I know. God has a sense of humour.
Dick Bandler and John Grinder (the gay app… was it named after him? One has to wonder).
There is one last point that I cannot help but enjoy needling the hordes of NLP enthusiasts who seem to consider Richard Bandler as their guru with. Milton Erickson practiced hypnosis and cured many, many people of sometimes very serious afflictions and certainly cannot be disputed to have been overall a power for good in the world. The man usually mostly credited with the “discovery” of NLP is Richard Bandler —in great part also due to his own self-marketing as such— it is interesting to note that Bandler was one of only three people in the room when one of those three people, the only woman in the room, was shot in the face with a .357 magnum revolver and killed. Neither Bandler nor his then friend James Marino was ever convicted of her murder though it was clearly not a suicide. Bandler also was demonstrated to be a fantasist about more than a little of his past, somewhat obsessed with violence, having threatened innocent people with firearms on at least some other occasion before as well as being a heavy drinker and also user of cocaine in large quantities. Personally, I am also extremely dubious that Bandler was a force for good in anyone’s life that he acted on directly, though of course I have met many of his devoted followers, who have attended his seminars and trainings at rather expensive prices for the privilege of being trained by a fantasising, heavy drinking, cocaine user that was somehow or other involved in the murder of an unarmed woman in circumstances that can only be described as suspect in the best of cases. [1]
Because pretty much all the hype about how you could use hypnosis to get women into bed supposedly at magical will, pretty much all originated with the whole PUA “gurus” reading up and trying to learn NLP to “trick” women into bed. The same was somewhat true of magic tricks, which Mystery himself still practices, as the buzzfeed article points out.
So, a bunch of socially maladjusted, sex starved, incels (involuntary celibates) learn the BIG SEEEECRIT of how to “hypnotise” women into becoming sex slaves from… a cocaine snorting, con man who is responsible either directly (my personal opinion) or at the very least by proxy, for the murder of his then on-off girlfriend.
What could possibly go wrong?
And who else took up the Bandler flag of being a master-guru of manipulation to achieve riches, glory and concubines?
Yeah, this is not gonna make anyone look good. Brace yourselves.
And let’s look at what handler in his prime affected as his guru look:
Now, I don’t want to say for sure it was Bandler, but in one of my delving into various subcultures of cults, I took a Tony Robbins seminar, which generally tried to upsell you other stuff during it. One of which was some advanced guru magic of some sort or other and you could go meet the guru in question briefly if you wanted to take the add on course for some eye-watering cost that I forget. Anyway, I went to see what this guru’s guru looked like and if it was not Bandler (I honestly don’t recall the name that was given or even if it was given) it was his spiritual twin. He had black painted fingernails, a leather vest very much like the one in the image above, a graying pony tail and some odd rings and other accessories on and about his person. It fairly screamed new Age Hippy Boomer dipped in narcissism and lies. I didn’t even listen to his free presentation.
Now let’s look at what Miles Sonkin looks like:
Honestly that’s the most flattering image I could find of the man.
Here he is with the War Room’s supposed main guy Andrew Tate and some of his victims successful peers.
According to the credible side of the reporting done on Miles, he really is the main brain behind the whole War Room thing, that apparently, and credibly, teaches men to essentially brainwash naive girls into becoming their cam girls as well as getting their names tattooed on them, as Andrew Tate himself has done to several women. Supposedly a few dozen of them having tattooed his name on their bodies. A kind of branding really that is not uncommon in various prostitution rings, and sex cults, like the notorious NXIVM one that involved the actress from the Superboy Smallville TV series.
It is fairly obvious from pretty much everything about Miles Sonkin that he has styled himself, literally, as a wizard and very much on the lines and methods pioneered by Bandler.
And insidious as the “hypnotist” NLP/PUA guru persona is, and as much damage as it does to those unfortunates that decide to “follow” them, the fall-out goes well beyond the directly affected.
The mannerisms and manipulation techniques of these conmen affect to one degree or other many other second-tier snake-oil salesmen.
Second Tier “Gurus”
Here we see a link between Miles the “wizard” and Ivan Throne, the boastful deaf salesman of supposedly man-improving seminars, and self-help… packages of… “Dark Triad”… I dunno, books, grandiose bullshit, etc.
I interacted with Throne directly online for a time as I had introduced him to an online Facebook group I was part of before it was nuked. Something I soon regretted when I saw his bluster was padded with what he thought was grandiloquent language, unfortunately for him, despite English being my second language, I actually know how to use it and was not the only one to notice that, more than once, he did not know the correct meaning of the “big” words he used. Something I took him up on, which caused him to get rather upset and use more words he misused, thus losing a bit of the shine anyone in the group may have had for him. The group has long since been nuked and I never had anything else to do with him.
Chernovich, he of the ever present lisp, gorilla mindset and, “it wasn’t me, it was a friend who sucked off the ladyboy, even though it was on my blog as a first person experience without explanation” infamy, also has attended the war room in some capacity or other.
The whole War Room, Secret Knowledge, I was born to be King and have women fall eat my feet, is as old as humanity.
It is by no means new.
Nor are the scams they pull, the dishonesty, the manipulation and the grift.
In the past however, the damage they did was limited by their reach. Today, their reach is the entire world, and Andrew Tate has managed to convince an untold number of young men that somehow manipulating young women to be your personal cam-girl whore, and stealing her money and being essentially a digital pimp, is the epitome of what success as a man is.
And keep in mind that Andrew Tate is on the record on video, stating that he would rather be with a 10 looking transvestite (that is a man, pretending to be a woman) than a much lower number looking woman.
Yeah. Peak heterosexuality right there boys. I just wonder if Tate will be the pitcher or the catcher when he eventually gets jail time in Romania for the things he is being charged with: sex trafficking, rape, and other stuff, including, I presume, tax evasion, which historically governments look to as a far more serious offence than mere rape and sex trafficking.
So. What was the point of showing you all these links?
Is this just an extended gossip girl column of pointing fingers and showing you just how “bad” these guys are. And how “smart” and “good” I am?
No.
Personally I don’t really care about any of these guys. I have known their associations and methods for years. I avoid them as soon as I become aware of them and don’t interact with them after I recognise them for the unethical people I judge them to be. I haven’t even shown you all the links by any means. I trained in hypnosis with a guy that is probably one of the best hypnotists in the world, but he too was pretty useless with women and fell into the PUA thing enough to “learn” some of the “tricks” of people like Mystery and then trying to use them at his teaching seminars. He wasn’t a bad guy. He was ambitious and he tried very hard, and I believe he was trying to be a really good and honest guy. But, as is the case with pretty much all “thirsty” men, his lack of ability with women, meant he was not in a satisfied relationship, and as far as this guy is concerned, I believe he would have been happy with just one woman. That’s actually true of most men. If they could get with a woman they were attracted to that treated them well, they would probably be unlikely to stray. Or at least would be a lot less prone to it.
In short, it doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone that had anything to do with any of these linchpins of the PUA movement and related scams is by default a complete loser, manipulator or freak. Some are just sad guys that want to get a girlfriend or wife. And have no idea of how in the modern setting of things, so they try to find some knowledge from people who tell them “this is how you get all the sex and glory an riches”.
PUAs are the sexual equivalent of Nigerian Prince e-mail scams.
The difference is that not only are they after your money, they are also polluting the general zeitgeist of human interactions.
It’s the difference between the 1950s’ dishonest door-to-door seller of encyclopaedias or vacuum cleaners and today’s online marketers of get-rich-quick schemes. The financial damage the old version could do has been amplified by several orders of magnitude. And in addition, the degradation of humanity has taken several steps closer to hell.
The whole point, of this loooooong post, was not just to show you the links between these people —and believe me, there are many more that go to both, higher places of power, and lower ones— but more importantly, how they percolate into the grander overview of life that you are slowly being boiled alive inside of.
Take this post together with the one I wrote immediately before it and think about them a bit. Then you may begin to appreciate why it is probably far safer for you to strike out on your own and make your own mistakes, always with a critical eye on taking note of how reality works and how to better adjust yourself to reality, rather than fool yourself into being into some fantasist’s scenario that you would prefer to believe in.
If you want to meet women and eventually make one your wife, start talking to people in general. Become someone you are happy and proud to be regardless of the attention of lack of it you get from anyone else. Learn to mix and talk with everyone. Become comfortable in the presence of people, then women, then beautiful women, and learn to talk and interact with them. Learn from your mistakes and failed interactions, keep your cool, adjust and correct your approach to whatever it is, be it becoming comfortable with women or learning to pilot a plane. Obviously, in the latter case, you really need to study enough to ensure you don’t go into a tailspin. Recovering from a bad relationship can be hell, fatal even at times, but no one walks away from a plane screw-driving into the Earth with you in it.
Above All
Learn this one thing: Honour, Truth, Justice, Beauty, Courage, the traditional virtues of Catholicism and manhood even before it, are Good. They are true. And they are a better guide for you than any guru. Have faith. Trust yourself to be good. To be able to become virtuous in these true ways, not the fake ones of Clown World. And beware, there are a lot of Clowns out there, and “Wizards”, and snakes in the guise of doves, and gay wolves in the guise of heterosexual pet dogs.
Be careful my adventurer friend. Count your gold pieces, equip yourself well, and follow no man but your own heart.
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.
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.
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.
I can prove quite conclusively to you, within about an hour or two, less if you are a bit less brainwashed, and if you can do basic math, that the lives of the so-called “rich and famous” are a complete and utter pit of despair.
All you need to do is browse CDAN (Crazy Days and Nights) and scroll down the blog, reading the entries. If after about an hour or so of doing that and doing a quick mental guesstimate of the number of glitterati there are in the pool from which that litany of despair is taken, you will soon realise that the toll one needs to pay to enter that club is —literally— at minimum, a piece of your soul, and in many, even most cases, the entirety of it.
What CDAN does, above all, in my opinion, is list very clearly, the resulting human wreckage that a life dedicated to hedonistic materialism produces.
Most of those people are so far gone, so utterly lost, that a homeless guy who is not a drug-addict has a better shot at making a happy life for himself.
I knew this at a relatively young age, and then confirmed it when I was offered certain “tickets” to do with being involved in a tv documentary-series at various points and/or a film, both based on my book The Face on Mars. I was 26 at the time and even before these “offers” came in, I had already seen the effect of being an author with books on the shelves of the local bookshops had on “friends” and acquaintances.
The interviews I did for television and radio were absolutely geared to turn the whole thing into clickbait, and since I’m a pretty quick study and I realised the interviewer was trying to take the approach of letting me run my mouth to then edit things in some tinfoil hat fashion, I very quickly reverted to one word answers and mini-sound bytes. the result was they could not make me sound crazy, so they did what a friend of mine at the time suggested they would do, jokingly.
I explained to him the interview was a hit piece and they would try hard to make me look insane, and he laughed and said, “yeah they may morph you into an alien on TV! ha, ha, ha.”
Well, that is exactly what they did, I kid you not. When the interview aired, at one point they fade my face out and gradually faded a gray alien head over it. My friend and I couldn’t believe it and laughed ourself to tears. I was 26 and I didn’t care for these people or their lies.
An outfit that was supposed to do a 13 part documentary had only to produce an outline of the 13 part documentary, I had already lined up an investor for them and this was all they wanted. They had 2 months to do it. They produced 2 pages of incoherent A4 where they had also screwed up the major premise. I advised the investor to not deal with these clowns.
Graham Hancock plagiarised large parts of the book as well as its main concept and still got the basic premise wrong. It’s like… steal Ferrari’s plans for a fast engine and still build a crappy Mini Morris one. They aren’t even good thieves. The guy who wrote the original comics on which the film The Matrix is based more than a little, will tell you the same thing.
Elvis didn’t write his songs, though I like how he sings them, and so do many others. Everything in the entertainment world is basically a lie. And usually also very gay; when it’s not also pedophile infested.
Graham Hancock certainly made a lot more money than I ever will from my work, with “his” stolen, then half-assed-executed ideas. And sure, that can irk a person somewhat, but you know what, when I confronted him face to face on it in Cape Town, his demeanour was the one of an apologetic, scared, cardboard-cut-out of a “man”. He apologised, blamed his ghost-writers and “complimented” me on my astonishing and brilliant work. He was a middle-aged journalist of supposed world-renowned fame, I was I think 27 at the time, had little or no money and did karate on an almost daily basis and worked as an armed bodyguard/security specialist and sold computers now and then when I could.
And I wouldn’t have traded his life for mine for any amount of money on the planet. I could then, and I still can now, look in the mirror and know that whatever errors I made in life, they were honest ones, and that despite all my faults, and they are many, I, at least, did not become whatever subspecies of cowardly, underhanded, sneaky, slithering animal people like that become. My brother and others were more enraged than I ever was by such occurrences. Which makes sense. They saw only the surface loss of what generally gets perceived as money, fame, and glory.
But I got to see the people that supposedly had or created this money, fame and glory. And this is what I saw, time and again:
The fame was a net negative. People wanted to be with you, whether as friends or sex partners, based on your fame. They had no idea, who you are, nor cared. the scary thing about this was that it wasn’t limited to gold-digging whores. In fact it was something that affected roughly the same percentage of people that decided to take the genetic serum or buy into the lie of the rona. Men wanted to be my friend and women wanted to bear my children, because I had a book on the shelves of the local book shops and did signing events. Or because they heard me interviewed on the radio or saw me on TV in the UK or, the USA, or in one case, saw my book briefly on CNN apparently (I never saw it myself but several people told me they had in a brief mention).
What becomes absolutely obvious then is that most human beings do not live, love, or care about the person they are with, perhaps marry and even have children with. No. They do not. They care about the idea about them they have in their head of them. Or they later end up hating the idea they have about them in their head. It is absolutely rare that they even glimpse the reality of who or what you are even if you spend decades with them.
In the modern era, this “disease” is a lot worse than it ever was in the past before television, the internet and mobile brainwashing and attention destroying machines we call “phones”.
Seeing this firsthand, noticing a girl you might have thought of as attractive and even intelligent if you had met her under different circumstances, and then noting how she is so transparently offering herself as some kind of sacrificial sex toy, purely in order to have the “thrill” of having had a “famous” person inside her, well… I know I am the minority perhaps in this, but I assure you, it is depressing. It destroys a certain aspect of innocence that makes life easier and more beautiful, and is hard to live happily without.
And that’s just the “fame” part.
And if you did sleep with such a girl, chances are, that after a while (or maybe only after minutes if you’re no good in bed) she would too feel empty, and disappointed, and lacklustre, because her fantasy of who you are and how her life might become is a fairy tale. As much as the one you might have told yourself if you’d met her as a nobody at a party and saw how pretty and quick-witted she appeared. Only to realise later it was just a facade, she is not smart, or quick-witted, she just learnt a routine of things to do and say at parties.
That, right there, the shabby feeling of mild despair that grows on you if you do take the ticket, if you do reach for the “glory”? That is the real “glory”.
The fame makes you a cartoon caricature and the glory turns out to be dust and emptiness. I at least was wise enough to not indulge in either.
The money sure can be useful, but it invariably comes with those two strings attached, and no amount of money on the planet is worth that. Not to me anyway.
It is possible, to get at least some of the money and dodge the “fame” and the “glory” and if you are smart, you can even manage a certain level of “fame” in a way that it doesn’t harm you, but it takes uncommon firmness of mind, courage, and not a little luck, or fate, or divine providence, whatever you choose to call it. In short, it is very rare, and probably has a cost anyway, as all roads do.
All of these despairing things, are made a thousand or a million times worst if you are alone in it all. Even family and close friends can turn, like zombies in a horror movie, becoming infected and turning on you with those soulless, dead eyes. Imagine your own parents or children becoming swallowed by the despair and materialism of “fame” and “glory”, or, much more often, your wife, or husband.
And where, in a world like the one of today, do you find a wife or husband that is not ready to jump neck-deep into the mire of “fame” and “glory” given a half a chance? Especially for those who grew up with the internet as a done thing?
There is no easy answer, but I assure you that whatever difficulties I faced or will face in life, I would always choose them over the ones that come with Hollywood level “fame” and “glory”.
I made my life an exercise in living between the cracks and not getting caught by what Vadim Zeland calls “Pendulums”, and just to be safe, I never tried to “transurf” the waves more than a tiny little bit here or there, (long before I read anything Vadim wrote) because in this game of life, one big wipeout is enough to reduce you to shark-food. And even as it is, I took my wipeouts, and they were hard enough, and perhaps many would not have survived them, but I did; again, by my will, but also a lot of divine providence and grace, which the lost often call luck or fate.
My problem has always been the same one.
My DNA, as far back as I can find information on my ancestors, has the curiosity of the explorer in it, and the fearlessness of the fool. It is a dangerous combination, and I do not advise it to anyone. I certainly hope my son is wiser than I was, but already, I see in him, the brutal honesty he has with himself, the fearlessness in the face of danger, at times due to innocence, and other times due to calculated observation. And the calm, considered, approach to things that might be dangerous, which he has not yet investigated.
How to guide such a boy?
There is no simple or clear path, because these are the qualities of a man, and ultimately, as men know, we are born alone, and we die alone, and every choice we make, every effort, every despair, every victory and every crushing defeat, is ours, and ours alone, no matter who loves us and may help us, or who hates us and may try to destroy us. All we can rely on is providence, God’s grace and our tiny, but eternal flame of faith inside ourselves, regardless of if we know it exists in there or not. He has it, and perhaps all I can do is try to make him aware of it consciously. Maybe, if I can help him be less mute than I have been to myself, he might be able to more readily rely on that fire in the centre of his heart even when he is alone and tired and scared, and I am no longer around to do what I can.
Maybe, if I train him even as I play with him, he can learn to roll with the punches of life and pop up nearby and unexpectedly, and turn things to his advantage then too.
And above all, I hope I can do a good job of showing him the decay and deceit and lies and illusion of “fame” and “glory” and instead choose the real Glory of, and for, God, and Honour, and the ones you Love. And to know fame is a lying whore riddled with disease and fancy clothes, and make-up; and real fame is the trust and loyalty of your friends and your loved ones, and nothing else compares.
And hopefully, in the Fake New World that is being prepared for him, either we are able to collapse the shit out of it before it gets off the ground, or there will in any case remain a way for him to navigate the “pendulums” and “surf” the “waves” remaining as best as possible, untouched by the filth of the sewage from which they are formed.
The lives of the “rich and famous” are a preview of the Hell that awaits us all if we don’t wake up and return to what really matters: The virtues of Truth, Honesty, Honour, Fortitude, Courage, and Faith.
Except it will be worse for you will not even have the villas and the retinue of concubines and the drugs, because you will not even have the money to distract you from the despair.
So.
Choose your path wisely, friend, and support that which is real, and see through that which is fake, and gay, and Satanic.
Vox has posted something I can commiserate with very much, namely his attitude to the average human post covid.
one of the few benefits of being an elitist intellectual is that you assume the vast majority of the programmed quasi-minds that surround you will not only disagree with you, but are not even capable of understanding your position if it was explained to them very slowly and with small words.
But I was a little stunned to discover that I had somehow given the average individual too much benefit of the doubt. I did not see that coming. I’ve been told my entire life that I was too arrogant, too harsh, too dismissive of the intellectual capabilities of others, and yet, when push came to shove, it turned out that in the end, I had erred on the side of generosity! I truly did not see that coming.
I don’t see how it can be a good thing, but now I have absolutely no regard whatsoever for the opinions of others, unless and until they are observably proven worthy of consideration.
I have had exactly the same experience. While I have been often told I am an arrogant bastard, that I should have more compassion for my fellow man, and so on, as it turns out, I too had thoroughly erred on the side of generosity too. While I assumed the average human was a complete idiot, I had not realised at all, just how much more widespread the problem was. Even those people I thought merited some consideration, because they could grasp certain basic issues, as it turns out, in most cases, were no better than circus monkeys trained to do a trick for others’ entertainment, with no real grasp of the issue at all.
My reaction has been a little different, in that I generally did not have any consideration for the opinions of others to begin with. Although I did, for my own sanity, and at least entertainment, try to find something interesting, whenever possible, about said others. With many, it was merely enough to get me through a dinner or so without calling them retards to their face, but what can you do; noblesse oblige.
What I did note, probably by growing up mostly in deepest, darkest Africa, is that you can generally rely on genuinely low IQ people more, in many senses than you can in those supposedly educated and of at least nominal, or even “above average” intelligence. The genuine illiterate who imagines the operation of a car as some sort of magic, can generally be relied upon to be, if not always truthful, at least extremely predictable. It doesn’t make for good company, other than in the narrowest of senses, but it can be a relationship that has a certain level of respect and dignity. Admittedly it’s probably closer to having a smart pet you like than an equal with which you can discuss the finer points of philosophy, but there is no confusion as to the abilities and really stations in life in terms of those abilities. And having grown up a hunter, I certainly don’t begrudge such people their lives, any more than I do that of a wild lion or hyena, including if they were to maul me and eat me. Of course, one needs to take precautions and if required, blast a wild animal with a suitably powerful weapon so as to protect yourself and your loved ones. It’s true it’s a trickier thing when they have two legs and appear to be human, but the basic response is the same, you just have to be more careful.
The dangerous ones are the ones that fool you into thinking they may be your peer. Just like those “conservatives” that end up stabbing you in the back, when it counts. Or the vegan conscientious objector in your trench that throws all the bullets of everyone in the mud because “violence is not the answer”. Those guys need to be shot first and placed in front of the sandbags outside the trench to protect the sandbags from enemy fire.
The life of a really intelligent person, if often quite a lonely or at least loner-like existence. My own mother, in one of her rare times she even noticed anything, commented once when I was about 16 that although my own father fancied himself a loner, I was on another level, as I’d pass weeks of my vacation time simply reading books or doing things by myself. She asked if I didn’t get lonely. My reply was simply pragmatic.
“What choice do I have?” Was I to hang out with retards and that would somehow make my day better? It wouldn’t. As the old saying in Italian goes, “Better alone than badly accompanied.”
So, my reaction to discovering that even those I held out some hope for are, for the most part, just circus apes on this planet of the apes, has been a little different. I have noticed three things, that are relevant:
Those of similar intellect are few and far between and in general are on their own path and unlikely to veer from it.
Actual Catholics, Sedevacantists, are the most reliable human beings I have come across as a class, by far. It’s not even close.
Possibly because being Catholic means utterly believing in hierarchy, there is little friction when a team of Catholics is put together and the roles are clearly explained beforehand.
This has led me to the conclusion that for the rest of my days on this Satanic Domain, it makes absolute sense to begin the process of creating what I believe will be the only hope in the future for my children or my children’s children: City States.
It is questionable what level of success I will have, but in the long term, meaning after I am gone, most likely, the only people who may retain some semblance of actual freedom are those who:
Are able to defend their property, will, lives, property and so on.
Have the numbers to do 1.
Have the economy to do 1.
Have the means to do 1.
Have the conviction and an unchangeable set of rules to do 1.
Have the will, the faith, the indomitable spirit of being to do 1.
Have demonstrated this already by being Vaxx Free and having chosen to be Sedevacantists.
And as far as I can see, the only way that can happen is by creating a community of proper (Sedevacantist) Catholics.
To build it one man and one woman and one couple and many children at a time. To build a Church and get a proper priest on site, to have our children learn and train and practice and learn and grow together, to have our Catholic children grow up to marry the other Catholic children that they grew up with. To teach them above all to be, yes, as innocent as doves, but also to be as wise as serpents. And to be able protect from, and to strike back against, any enemies who try to infiltrate, weaken, destroy, or pervert those communities, in whatever way is required to secure those communities, those people, those values. To learn commerce and finance and all the subterfuge of the enemy and then to exclude them and their ways from our communities and exclude them forever.
Catholicism is the only religion that has succeeded at this for as long as it has. It is true that Shintoist Buddhism served to isolate Japan for a while, and perhaps Imperial China may have had their own ways, but you didn’t want to be a Chinese if you could help it. And while being Japanese would have been fine, they didn’t last nearly as long. And I don’t see a tradition of Zen-Samurai forming communities. It isn’t going to happen.
So yes. My reaction has been what some started calling The Kurganate, as a joke, and so we took on that name. And yes, it’s not a democracy. And everyone is free, yet everyone has their place too.
There may not be many people that use their brains well. There are some that are able to be faithful and loyal though, and that is a good thing.
I know several men are already preparing to move near me and actively saving, getting married, looking for property and building themselves up to do so. So it can happen and it will happen. I don’t know all the details of how fast, or how big, or any of that. But I know it will. Like with anything else, I just have to keep going. And I hope you will too.
Surviving WW3 Long Term
On the basis of the recent poll I got this request:
Something Else – How to Survive Long Term in a WWIII Scenario for a married man with young children (Shelter, Food & Water, Surviving extreme Heat/Cold, Defense, How to keep your wife and children in good spirits, Not drawing attention to yourself, etc.)
It’s a pretty comprehensive question and an entire book could be written about each of the topics, so my reply will necessarily be brief and somewhat generic, but hopefully still specific enough to make a difference.
Good Spirits
Also known as Morale, may be the most important factor of all. It certainly tends to be in most conflicts throughout human history.
You should be aware of this, especially for your wife and children more than other factors. Consider: If you move to rural buttfuck-of-nowhere intersection and Hillbilly country, you might feel wholly relaxed that no one will waste a nuke or military to come steal your 3 goats and 15 chickens. However, your wife might miss things like actual shops where you buy food instead of have to skin and gut whatever you shot for dinner. She might even like to get a coffee at a cafe once in a while, frivolous degenerate that she is (joke! That’s a JOKE!). The rugged life of an off grid prepper that has his own bomb-shelter may be the stuff of manly dreams and boyhood joy, but generally is not seen in the same light by the gentler sex. So discuss these things and make sure everyone is clear on the difficulty and/or changes of lifestyle. Are there women out there that would love this life-style, sure. But they are a minority. And almost everyone likes hot water and indoor plumbing, and not freezing in winter. So, read my 4 part series on taking on clown world and winning (use the search me button on the right). If you do, you will see that ideally you need to pick your place on the basis of the geography you want to have ideally. Although, for most people that is already set, it is not too late to make the jump now (it is likely to be more expensive if you want to do it quickly, as always). The factors affecting morale are endless, and even more so for women, so it is difficult to give sound advice to all. One lady I spoke to was having trouble being an hour or so away from her family in what is still a pretty civilised area of a very urban country. She had not been living further from her parents than a few minutes and the change was a shock. The rural area she was in was not remote by any means but felt like it to her and feeling isolated with small children made her days feel like an interminable Groundhog Day. So you need to consider these things and take them into account.
Unlike men, most women will not be happy with an ideally fortified home in an ideal rural area, with a secure bomb shelter under the house, gun ports and plenty of weapons and stock-piles of ammo, food and clean water. Unless you have a wife like the one of the main guns-ho guy in the Tremor Films, what would seem to be ideal to a man is rarely ideal to a woman. She wants mani-pedi and spa locations nearby, a good hairdressers, nice friends to gossip and laugh with about the goings on in the town and their respective husbands and girlfriend’s love affairs and so on. Trivial nonsense that doesn’t matter in a hot war zone? You bet.
On the up-side, it’s mostly because women like these things that we don’t live in a permanent hot war zone, for the most part. Because we men tend to want to please them. And do they appreciate our efforts to give them a poisonous Starbucks on every corner in lieu of bashing irritating neighbours over the head with a nicely shaped stick? Not even a Thank you, kind Sir, I tell you. It’s just the way they are. No point getting upset about it.
So, the HOW you ensure good morale with your wife, is a giant minefield that no one on the internet can possibly navigate fully for you. I can only tell you to not ignore it, prepare for it, prepare her for it and consider that the things that are so insignificant to you that they may never even have entered your head all your life, might be extremely important for her. After all… she doesn’t even think about Rome daily!
Women are primarily solipsistic, so if they experience some discomfort, the Universe is out of whack and God should stop and make it right (through you mostly) and if He (you) don’t, then, you must be the problem. By and large. Your 14 hour days stacking wood for winter, pondering how to build a biological septic tank and your own solar panels, really are not as interesting to her as you would expect of any normal person.
You need to have a very deep connection based on honesty with your wife in order to navigate this well. And keep in mind off-grid farming is brutally hard. And even harder with small children to look after. So, building your community, having one that is active and fun and good is very helpful. Having little friends for your children is also very helpful.
That all said, I sincerely hope that your wife is good natured enough to be the kind of person that can read this entry and laugh, in unadmitted generic agreement with my caricatures. And more importantly, that she is smart and logical and objective enough, to realise that if and when the SHTF, she better be ready to take up a shovel and dig the dirt with you, and at minimum reload the rifles while you hold off the zombies, and preferably shoot some of them herself. How you find/foster/cultivate/generate that delicate balance of manicured nails, pretty, sexy dresses and chocachinos with friends with the realities of having your entrenched fall-back positions for the zombie apocalypse is a puzzle you need to figure out on your own. But figuring it out is VERY important, so don’t ignore it.
Children can generally be kept in good spirits by simply spending time playing with them and teaching them things in good order. Which of course takes up a lot of time, but our children (the little ones) are learning from us all the time and actually enjoy being helpful. The two older ones may need ye old dad’s foot in the backside to motivate them, because they were raised outside of functional family structures, unfortunately, but they are definitely improving and will get there soon enough, and when they do the sense of achievement for them and us both is also an awesome feeling to have. So make the entire concept of having good morale a game you enjoy instead of a chore you dread.
Not Drawing Attention to Yourself
Better than that is being thought of well by your neighbours and community. Help the people near you and be friendly and genuinely a good guy. Of course, if and when the SHTF they will also all come looking to you for help, so you need to balance that. For me that is relatively easy. I am a misanthrope by nature and don’t like people much as a rule, but I am polite and friendly to everyone, until they give me reason not to be, then there is no mistaking who I am and what kind of level of “force” I can bring to bear if required. Generally, if people realise you’re a nice guy but have no hesitation in turning heads of bad guys into pink clouds at the drop of a hat, you get the right balance of helpful (and good) friends, and respectful strangers. The down side is that if and when they DO get organised to come for you, they will actually be a force that is organised and to be reckoned with. But that is my way, because it comes naturally to me. You need to find your own natural way and work your strengths and better your weaknesses. I am not particularly worried about organised roaming gangs of zombies, because if and when it comes to that, there probably isn’t a worse guy to go after in a radius that probably reaches the nearest army base. Even so, I have made good friends where I live and will help my neighbours if I can or when needed and they do the same in return.
Shelter, Heat and Cold
Obviously, your primary home needs to be suitable for wherever you have chosen (or are forced) to live. I tried to pick a place that is not too extreme one way or the other, but in reality, it gets snow in winter (which will probably only increase over time) and is a bit too hot in summer with a lot of attendant bugs in all seasons (flies and mosquitoes in summer and stink bugs in winter). If the weather changes drastically here, a greenhouse will become a requirement (and I plan to have one anyway at some point) and livestock might require better shelter, but your primary shelter and provisions for heating in cold climate is obviously a priority that needs to be faced and that you need to be ready to address in a grid down situation. If not, I suggest you move! It is a lot easier to survive hot places than cold ones. I have plenty of wood to last me literally years and I installed a large wood stove that can heat the whole house and also be used for cooking (not as quickly as the gas stove, but in an emergency, the house remains livable and we can still cook food even without electricity or gas).
The next big item is electrical independence. the easiest way to have some of this is to have a generator and some fuel set aside. It is however a temporary and not a long-term solution. You eventually want to get at least enough solar panels to run your fridge and a couple of lights and at least one or two power tools at a time.
My gasifier project was meant to do this by providing wood to fuel a gasifier that could power a generator, meaning I would not have to rely on petrol. That project, however, has so far been a failure. Which is not to say it is impossible, only that the effort required to make it work in the first place is a lot more than I thought, and more importantly, the effort required to keep it functional if you get it working might be even an order of magnitude higher. That said, I still want to provide value to the people that supported the project, so I am looking at alternatives ways to at least give them something that might be of use or interest for them.
Conclusions
Overall, the main issues are to create a home that is self-sufficient in terms of the basics: Water, heating, food, electricity, and sewage processing.
If you have achieved that, 90% of your problems are taken care of. After that it’s just being able to maintain and even improve on things as you go and preparing with better shelter, better community engagement, better weapons, better food stockpiling and even alternatives to using cash and especially digital money. The economy WILL collapse at some point, it’s not an if, but a when, and when it does desperation will drive people to accept whatever draconian slavery will be imposed on them. The whole point is for you to be able to survive completely apart from that, and in turn be able to inspire and help others near you do the same.
If you saw the recent (2020) series based on the Brave New World of Aldus Huxley (and with he same name) you want to be one of those “troglodytes” living outside of the “utopic” city. And you certainly don’t want to end up caught by them and influenced and ultimately caged by them in any way. Ultimately, you want to be able to roam free and either KEEP them all locked up in their cities, or have their cities crumble to dust with the architects of them buried under them.
