Out of all my podcasts, I’ve received the most amount of comments about The Black Pill, where I state that it’s fruitless to try to change society instead of yourself. Many men feel that this possibly can’t be the right approach, because if we don’t try to change society, how can we ever make it better? Won’t the whole world just become one big African slum?
What is society composed of? Buildings, music, art, language, government, and more, all produced by people. Without those people, there would be no society. As a living human being, you are an integral part of a society, and it will change by a degree, however minuscule, when you die. You’re already changing it through your mere existence, but trying to change society directly through conscious effort is futile.
The problem with becoming an activist to change a broken society is that it’s almost always done by imperfect people. Broken cannot fix broken. If you’re not living by the code you think your perfect society should be, or you suffer from anxiety or fear, you can’t improve the whole that you’re a part of. Changing society is therefore a form of therapy, just like how teaching game was a form of self-help for me.
This car should not be designing the highway system
Your problems, vices, mental issues, and addictions are too difficult to solve, but it’s all to easy to command other people on how to live. If you gain a soapbox, you’ll feel soothed that others are listening to you even though your own life is in disarray. The ego boost of becoming famous or influential can’t compete with even the best sex or anti-depressant pills, and in the end we have a case of the blind leading the blind.
The only foolproof way to change society is to make yourself the best person you can be. The society then automatically changes upon your change, since you are a part of the whole. If you rid yourself of your brokenness and your fears, your addictions and your denials, society will improve. If you become a golden standard for others to follow, you could then advise others on how you solved your own problems. Until then, any attempt to change others is just a way to delay or procrastinate your own change. This is the most obvious with pundits on the internet who have an interest in changing the minds of people who don’t even live in their country. They don’t care about their own neighbor, yet they are activists for those who live in lands they have never been to.
I will not tell you by which standard of morality to live by, because I know that a society full of fornicating men like myself would lead to catastrophe more than not. Unless we’re talking about a man like Jesus, a society filled with the person who wants to change the world would always lead to disaster. If you ask me questions, I will give you answers, and I will surely share my opinion like I’m doing now, but I will not take a crusade to save those who did not ask me to be saved.
A society full of men like Jesus wouldn’t be so bad
Today, I would not run a “Fat Shaming Week” like I did on Return Of Kings several years back. I can state that I’m not attracted to overweight women, but I no longer care how women I don’t know choose to live. I set a weight limit for my body, and if people want to ask me for health advice then I will help them, but if the whole world becomes obese then so be it, for it must be a part of human nature if its occurrence is so seemingly inevitable.
One of the first things you may have figured out when learning game is not to convince a blue pill friend to also use game. The friend will resent you for thinking that you’re better than him. It turns out that this basic lesson applies on a societal level as well. People don’t want to hear your opinions, standards, and morals. Even covertly inserting those opinions into movies or music won’t work unless you’re programming people to do what is already within their primal nature.
It’s easy to attack mainstream media and Hollywood, but most people really want to sleep around, accumulate material possessions, be addicted to all matter of substances, invent their own gods, and simulate being a “good” person by virtue signalling for an outgroup. It’s easy, fun, and makes them feel powerful and superior. They don’t want you to tell them how to genuinely be a good person or solve real problems. Doing so is a waste of your time, and if you’re too persistent, they’ll try to kill you for it.
I intend to live for several more decades. I will use that time to face my lingering demons while sharing what I know to people who want to hear me, but I will not attempt to change the world. That’s just a form of therapy that is kicking the can of my own problems down the road. I know that if I become the best man I can, and be open and honest with how I did so, society will improve ten times more than if I try to jam my opinions and theories into people who don’t want to hear it. There will be no arguments, no persuasion, and no debates, just an individual journey that leads to openness and dialogue, and I hope that I will be successful at it.

I was looking at the National School Walkout website and looking at photos of these kids and all I can think to myself is, “I don’t think any of these kids have touched a lawn mower, pulled a weed or helped an old lady with her groceries in their entire life.” In fact, I’m pretty sure these kids haven’t helped anyone or anything. It’s pretty clear that these kids want a purpose because they are otherwise pretty useless and nothing but a burden. Looking at the photo and I’m seeing a lot of skinny arms, fat rolls and enough soy to keep Starbucks in business for a few more years. Future’s lookin bleak my friends. The amount of respect kids have for adults who are worthy is pretty pathetic. Call me crazy but I’m not going to listen to a kid who snubs good advice in a defiant manner, turns around, eats a laundry gel pack and goes on a YouTube Mylie Cyrus boogar picking marathon. I’m not trying to be mean here but I think it’s time for some atomic wedgies, noogies, Indian sunburns and a few swirlies. Might be a good place to start.
They’re just easily manipulated pawns or did you really think kids magically come up with ideas like that by themselves after decades of school shootings with no such things happening.
If it doesn’t look kosher there is probably someone kosher behind it if you catch my drift…
Larry, I catch your drift. We need an increase in drift catchers.
“It’s easy to attack mainstream media and Hollywood, but most people really want to sleep around, accumulate material possessions, be addicted to all matter of substances, invent their own gods, and simulate being a “good” person by virtue signalling for an outgroup.”
Wow! That is powerful truth!
I’ve recently become persuaded that the God of the Bible is actually the true God, and that the Bible rightly reflects His character. I am setting my life to fear, trust, serve, love, and obey the risen, ascended, and soon returning Lord Jesus Christ.
I like the above picture of Jesus with the whip. Next time however, He won’t be so gentle. He is coming back with the sword of vengeance (Revelation 19).
Don’t get me wrong. There is a lot of idolatry in churches. There always has been (Jesus, Paul, Moses, and the Prophets were always dealing with idolatry from supposedly faithful people). The Bible is full of that stuff. False teachers are everywhere. False Christians are everywhere. False Jews are everywhere.
I honestly believe most pastors (and church members) will probably go to hell (because they are unregenerates who don’t really fear, trust, believe, and follow Jesus Christ). I’ve been one most of my life. I’ve spent my life around such people. Many, probably most pastors are cowards.
Read 1st Corinthians 10. All Israel went through the Passover, and the Red Sea, yet died without mercy in the wilderness because of unbelief. They are an example for us. We must not be isolators like they were.
I consider myself a conservative evangelical, Protestant, Calvinist Christian. Still, I’d bet money that many, probably most, people even in my own group, and local church will not make it to the Celestial City (and I do believe in the perseverance of the saints, preservation of Christ’s elect).
Jesus Christ is Lord, and it is high time I act like it (whether or not other people want to).
It’s just a form of intoxication for them because it makes them feel empowered and a part of something bigger than themselves. These kids have plenty of time to grow up and figure things out for themselves. I too got seduced by the excitement and got into some pretty silly causes at that age. It’s just a part of being a teenager.
Imagine the change. Instead of 6 million jews, all of the plus the homos, gypsy, and commies went into the gas chambers. Only you can gas them all.
Nobody,except those that died of natural causes went into any crematoriums in the camps. The Holocaust is a lie.
Gotta keep the goyim demoralized and malleable with holocaust mythology bro.
Bonus points posing as a gentile calling on gas chambers, ovens and the like. But don’t mention shrunken heads and lampshades, they’ve wised up and know those are bogus now.
As long as by ‘natural causes’ you refer to dysentery, typhoid, and malnutrition. I suppose considering ‘all roads to Auschwitz’ were bombed to oblivion by the USAAF & RAF, and also considering the almost biblical over-population in the camps and the authorities complete inability to deal with that (due to their almost complete lack of resources and manpower by ’44 & ’45) the aforementioned afflictions were indeed the ‘natural’ outcome.
6 million femikooks in Canada!
“Steely Dan” now wears a dunce cap for propagating the Holohoax lie. The big lie.
What I see is polarization which can only lead to civil war. I’ve never seen so many old school gyms opening in my area and young and dedicated buff dudes. That’s what we need to crush the leftists. Now are they all red pill ? I doubt it. Many do it to impress the ladies but ey it’s a trend I’m seeing for the past 5 years now.
How many chicks are at your gym?
not a single one, dammit ! too friggin hard.
I can foresee these red and blue haired trigglypuffs in Toronto having their skulls bashed in by bulky white men. Why only white men? Because the non-whites will take the side of the feminist even if white liberal femithots subconsciously fear black men or if Moslems and femithots only agree that trannies should not be considered women.
These kids are your future bosses all you pathetic cubicles slaves. Wait until these young assholes fire your ass because you didn’t fill TPS Report#17 or you made comments about Latosha, your new transrace-transgender coworker.
That’s cool. I went to an MMA recently and it seems like they always have to have at least one invader.
Its all because of the Russians. This has got to be some long running KGB subversion operation , turning schools into the vector of neo-Marxist, feminist, pussification, feeding us gobs of roundup laced gynocomastic soy.
Russia is a God-fearing Christian country while America, Canada and the rest of NATO are mainly feminist occupied Zionist colonies.
The Bot has spoken.
I notice a teenaged neighbor (about 14 yo) mowing the lawn yesterday. I had never seen this kid mowing the lawn before (usually it has been his mom or aunt). It is sad to say, but the sight of this chubby kid mowing the lawn really made me feel happy. He just took a tiny step in the right direction.
Clean your room🤣
Societies are changed through dreams.
If enough people buy into one ideology, they’ll transform their society. When enough westerners decide they’ve had enough with the current system they’ll change it. Atm the liberals are starting to lose some ground, but not fast enough, if u ask me.
The idea is for the westerners to have this change of mentality before they become a minority in their own countries.
World changes by rejecting ideologies…
For example,
Many women today suffer from severe overconfidence
which was trained by the propaganda of politics and the media.
Women are considered smarter and stronger than men;
In film and television, and even video games, women cheat, beat up, and overachieving men.
Why?
Women should work, earn a profit, pay taxes.
It only makes sense to focus on the immediate economy: it makes a big difference whether half of the population does not make a small or complete contribution to gross domestic product.
Unfortunately, biology is in the way.
Training women has often proved to be a waste of resources:
The women work from the first child or generally no longer or only half-time (while men tend to work overtime) – women love their work-life balance more than a little more money. As a result, there are, for example, formally veterinarians and women doctors in large numbers, but these are hardly half as available as equally trained men.
Women are programmed to hypergamy with sexual instinct. When the man earns less, not only does his interest in it go away, but it also becomes sexual rejection.
But if, as is already the case in many areas, there are more well-educated and deserving women than men, then these women, with their biologically unchangeable dating schema, can not possibly get a partner they want.
For many men it is (though less well known) that even their potency fails when the woman is more powerful / rich / earning stronger / stronger – men are predominantly delicately, sensitive, cuteness, vulnerable, a certain childish naivety in women sexually attracted, and repelled by thick muscle packages, deep voice, dominance, superiority and just financial superiority in women – because men are looking for a small, sweet, cuddly and worth protecting “baby” rather than even the baby role (ie to be the weaker) in having a relationship – that reminds me too much of their mothers and of themselves as helpless little boys – and that’s sexually repulsive for men.
In addition, it seems to me that too many women overestimate their sexual market value.
Women die three times:
On average once in their twenties, when they lose their maximum cuteness or sexual attraction and then become even more unattractive every day, until they become not only neutral but sexually repulsive to men (men are biologically programmed to look for signs of aging) Fertility markers in women with sexual disgust) – and that can happen well before 30, depending on genetic quality and healthy lifestyle.
The second death of women is the menopause, then they are infertile, show for male instincts their sexual, fertility-related worthlessness to clear (false signals such as Botox, makeup, etc. do not help, as a potential partner must see her “undressed” naked).
After another decades, then follows the biological woman’s death.
Women have an extreme power advantage over men thanks to their sex appeal; but almost always only for a few years, until the first death. Therefore, many women underestimate the time pressure under which they find a man to find and bind – and take their time, hoping for a Prince of Wales millionaire Nobel Prize winning athlete – who never arrives, never arrive.
The sexual decline of women is so rapid that it leads most women to extreme irrational life choices.
(Men are better off – assuming good lifestyles and money, a man, like many of the more affluent, can easily bind women nearly half a century younger, and there is no second death (loss of fertility) for men) famous Indians recently gave birth to healthy, strong children over 90 years of age – good genes and life success (wealth) attract women.)
https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/35185444/1523419588617.png
This picture shows the average sex market value of women, based on global, transcultural and historical indexes – the same pattern is found everywhere and at all times.
For the data u.a. Interest rates on dating sites, scores for brides (in respective cultures) and the income earned by prostitutes, as well as the demand for pornography, with variation in the age of the women in demand in the pornographic values.
All this leads to the fact that more and more women, unfortunately most often the smartest and most ambitious remain childless and have botched their lives and their existence, their reproduction, by always placing too high demands (and becoming cat moms) – and they contribute to it
Found on Telepolis.de A german lefty site
tl;dr
Communism has been defeated globally and is doomed to become more and more moribund. Nevertheless, the more corrupt a thing becomes, the more destructive it becomes during its dying struggle. To discuss democratic improvements with the Communist Party is like asking a tiger to change its skin.
…
At the time of Mao Zedong’s death, so many Chinese cried bitterly before Mao’s portrait, wondering, “How can China continue without Chairman Mao?” Ironically, 20 years later, when the Communist Party has lost its legitimacy to rule the country, the CCP has spread a new round of propaganda, making people again wonder anxiously, “What would China do without the Communist Party?” (Commentary 9: On the Unscrupulous Nature of the Chinese Communist Party, The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party – URL: https://www.theepochtimes.com/commentary-9-on-the-unscrupulous-nature-of-the-chinese-communist-party_3951.html)
That inspired me to make up a quote, that a Pro-EU Narcissistic Liberal could use as a stock question: “How can Europe exist without the European Union?”
Fuck fat people anyway
Dude I love seeing you mature here, even though some of the old school ROK stuff would still work just fine and definitely serve a purpose. Because you have to remember, everyone is at a different stage on their journey. That wild old shit might be crucial to someone younger than you who is locked in an old mode of thinking and needs to read something crazy to knock him out of it. Some of the old articles on ROK made huge impacts on me, even though I didn’t take them as gospel, they shook me out of useless incorrect paradigms. So long story short, don’t give up on that completely.
The new stuff lost its spirit.
The last two Roosh articles:
1. Achieving personal goals isn’t worth it
2. Working towards societal goals isn’t worth it
So no effort is worth it. Giving the benefit of the doubt, that this is not a 180 switch to intentional demoralization, it just sounds like a personal retirement.
Fine, retire, but achieving personal goals is fundamentally important in a man’s life. And spreading sane ideology is critical, even if it seems to go nowhere. Look how far we’ve come since Obama. It’s best not to spread personal demoralization.
Roosh 100% agree with you.
I said the same thing weeks ago and some dumb fucks got mad cause I SHOULD think about a society as a whole ?lol
Nah. I’m responsible on myself, family and close friends…the rest can fuck up their lives if they want. not my problem.
Yeah, but if the rest of society fucks up where does that leave you, your family, your friends?
He’s a negro or equivalent. It’s not his society. He’s happy to see it ruined.
Roosh, I have completely given up trying to pass on so called Red Pill information to my so called mates its a waste time and energy telling them most Hollywood films are just proper- gander. What might be the best food to eat and drink. Tips on gaming women, suggesting manosphere / Redpill websites to visit. All totally a waste of time I no longer care and will only now take care of myself and leave everybody else alone and let them be. They will learn the hard way or not at all.
Unplugging betas from the matrix is a dirty business. Best to walk away from the toxic influence and seek out new like-minded friends.
Losing friends in the red-pill transition is a common occurrence. Don’t sweat it, frankly it will be a noticeable improvement on your life.
Not a red-pill warrior, but tried to talk some sense(obviously, while being all drunk)to friend of mine regarding him putting all the eggs in the same basket. He didnt listen. Perhaps he knows that his wife is cheating slut, but he choses not to see it and ignores it and stays way too dependent on her despite me trying to kind of put a seed of bigger, manly independence into his mind.
However, theres one acquaintance whom I met and spoke to recently and turns out he learned rather similar life lessons as I did regarding red-pill truths the similar way -after LTR breakup.
Give or take what you want, its individual journey and only when youre ready you will arrive at your destination.
Mostly only those who have a clue what youre talking about will listen to you.
The same goes for changing the world, I say change yourself, be your best self as much as you can, be honest, then help your family and friends change, then your community-neighborhood and from there you might be able to start looking at changing your city, state or country.
Until then its just bulshit talks without any substance.
You simply cannot explain to them if they are not ready to receive this kind of information.
The Juu has corrupted them and it will take some harsh reality like a world war or economic collapse to Red Pill those cucks.
Working on myself, by myself and for myself.
Funny, on your last article I posted, “And then what… you learn to find inner, rather than, outer peace. As your ego chips away with time you end up being content reading a book and having an afternoon nap. Sounds terrible to me. Of course, inner growth can also apply to trying DMT.” And the comment was removed.
Anyway…
You can be an activist without actively activising. You can do it just by leading by example. Sure, you will have a small net of influence, but at least you’re effecting your immediate surroundings.
It’s all about aura. No, it’s not bullshit at all. You can tell when someone’s in a bad or good mood when they enter the room without even looking at them or them saying a word. Animals can sense it way better than us. So, yeah, work on your aura. Keep that alpha vibe strong chaps.
“The only foolproof way to change society is to make yourself the best person you can be.”
Politics is downstream from culture.
Being able to identify the distractions in society against a meaningful and content existence is step one. Those who are easily distracted are the fodder for elites.
I work in medicine. I can tell you truthfully that 95% of the mentally ill psychiatric patients we see in the ER are: Aging drugged out hippies, tatted up obese feminists, unruly children from liberal parents, underweight and hopeless soyboys. It is VERY RARE that we see god-faring, conservative, physically healthy people seeking mental health help. The mentally ill have embraced and attempt to live by the standards that our corrupted culture promotes.
Subtract yourself from the corruption and seek a living based on self-sufficiency and self-improvement. You will naturally inoculate yourself from the engineered degeneracy.
I am not a psychiatrist, but I kind of suspected there are not many conservatives seeking medical help. After all, they can always purchase a machine gun and go on a killing spree.
Even you must realize that your statement holds no water in the reality we’ve seen regarding the last decade’s worth of mass shooters. They were soyboys, liberals and medicated on mood enhancers.
Your Comment is a joke and falls flat on its face even by trolling standards.
No red pilled guy ever went on a shooting spree because we know how to fix our situation and have a plan that will work in the long run. Soy boys have lost all hope then blame the popular guys/girls at school for their misery, a red pilled man dont care about that because he is too busy creating his own future.
Yes very true. You must help yourself, no else can or should do it for you. Just last week i was asked why i do not feel for those who made bad decisions. My reponse was, they don’t, and it is up to them whether they want to improve their situation. How do i know they don’t? Because they keep making the same mistakes.
None of you fucks will ever change the world…
Yeah well you are a smelly dildo.
Fuck you
I will slap you soo hard
Eawick, that’s actually really good advice. The way you presented it, on the other hand, was perhaps a little distasteful. But you’re right. It’s not healthy to think you can change the world. If you set an overwhelming goal, you will find yourself falling into depression. It’s good to aim high but perhaps not all the time. I agree….. now fuck off! Hahaha, just kidding, I don’t care, go lick a light socket.
Trump was elected, that tells me there’s boatloads of red pilled people out there. So yea, we already did change the world.
If you want to change society you need to be a role model for people around you. You need to Express yourself and what you stand for.
I understand this mindset of keeping to oneself and not bring attention to yourself.
I’ve tried helping various people through my life, and more often than not my help goes unappreciated, they take advantage of it, or they don’t learn how to fix “x”.
It just comes down to people have to have that moment of epiphany of realizing their problem and working to fix it. I think the issue is that people do recognize it and they don’t have the discipline to fix the problem or just simply don’t care.
The Jews need to be gassed in order to change the world. No to Greater Israel Plan
I understand this mindset.
But if you gas every Juu in the world, their enablers and the sheeple will exist. The feminist at your local campus will continue to hate on men, and Juus who survive will make their story into a greater Holohoax. 6 millions Juus did not die in any genocide under Mein Fu,h,r.e.r. the great A-d-o-l-f-H-i-t-l-e-r or NationalistSocialistze Germany. Those Juus who died in those war camps were dying of diseases and war causes.
Roosh, why aren’t you doing podcasts anymore? I loved listening to those on the way to and from work. Please do some more!
“I dont wanna change the world. I dont want the world to change me”
-Ozzy
China, man. This is where the best babes are at. I’d still be just fornicating, too, if I hadn’t found a nice, young, sweetie here to hang onto me like I’m a tree and she’s my koala.
Peace is a lie, there is only ambition, through ambition, I gain purpose,
with purpose, I seek knowledge, with knowledge, I build discipline,
through discipline, I gain strength, through my strength, I gain power,
through my power, I gain victory,
through victory, my chains are broken..
that which is internal, sets us free
And yes I totally stole that from star wars but it mine and I’ll live by it
The sith code leads only to the same shit hole situation we are living in now.
There is so much that you, men, have to offer to the world. I hope that you will become fathers, husbands… That you will teach your children strong values that will carry them through rough times. That you will lead by example and act as role models to the lost souls around you. You must resurrect the masculine spirit. Who else can do it if not you? Please don’t spend your time on earth living just for yourself, that is not why you were sent here. Thank you.
At the end of the day we are a culture in an irretrievable slump. It seems to be as much an evolutionary phenomena as it is cultural marxism. The sun will set on the great western empire as it has on countless others. I imagine the next couple of centuries shall belong to China or other mid east/asian oligarchies. Sometimes you just need to accept the rise and fall of history, and make a mark as best you can. It could be a lot worse for us you know. To be born 100 years hence is unthinkable.
Excellent. Most people (including those on this forum; the comments prove it) simply don’t get it. For thousands of years we’ve been doing it the backwards: trying to create a moral society through political means. Not only does this produce sub-optimal results over the short term, in the long run, it leads to degeneracy 100% of the time. We are doomed for not understand that individual actions are what truly shape and mold society (for better or worse).
Rooooosh!
we have to do something, we have to organize some sort of massive campaign where you instruct us to contact a feminist organization and to call them out.
i.e.
we all troll the national organization for women and tell them about some guy that was screwed by the divorce ourts
or we all use a temporary and anonymous email account and create dating profiles and tell all the girls that message us that they are too old
regardless, you are our leader. Lead us!
from now on, (to me) you will be known as King Roosh
I hope you’re joking. I don’t want to be instructed by anyone for any cause.
SPLC, FBI, or Juu organization plant looking to entrap someone. 6 million Juus did not die in any genocide in A-d-o-l-f-H-i-t-l-e-r- Germany!
We need to do something, and one person sending a letter to NOW is not going to do anything.
That picture speaks volumes. Jesus detested capitalism before it even had a name. Something a lot of “red pillers” can’t wrap their heads around.
Who disliked my shit? Might as well say why.
Roosh, you need Christ!
Don’t gamble your eternal soul any longer!
Roosh, I agree with you. If we ALL focus on self reflection and self improvement, than good things will start to happen in society. We have to act independently, but simultaneously. When people see how together we have it, they’ll notice and seek us out. That fat girl will get the message soon enough when nobody wants to date her. Wherever your life takes you Roosh, please don’t fade away. Your wisdom is welcome and appreciated.
What is with all of the antisemitism on this comments? Israel is also suffering from radical American feminism. Tel Aviv is hosting nude walks and gay prides like any other city in America or Canada.
The feature picture looks like the dude is staring into a celestial butthole.
This is a great post. I go about life in the same manner. I liken it to parenting; forcing your kids to do something only results in them doing the opposite. I have to speak abstractly so they they think about the idea themselves, then act accordingly. And anyway, most men are too far gone that they’ll never hear you out. They’re the walking dead. They just want to feed their comfortable life with vulgar consumerism while their brain rots away.
