1. Read Paradise Lost for John Milton’s insight into female psychology. Milton might have had a messy personal life because of beta tendencies, but he knew the optimal way to organize the relationship between man and woman, even if you set aside the religious rationalization for it:

   To whom thus Eve, with perfect beauty adorned:—
   “My author and disposer, what thou bidd’st
   Unargued I obey. So God ordains:
   God is thy law, thou mine: to know no more
   Is woman’s happiest knowledge, and her praise.”

2. Well did Morpheus speak when he said that some people are so deeply hooked into the Matrix that their minds reject the red pill.
   Solzhenitsyn was the greatest author of the 20th century. His Gulag Archipelago has a lot to teach us about being mentally tough in a society gone mad.

   1. I’ve had that on my shelf for years and haven’t read it. Time to start.

3. Down with the Matriarchy! 🙂
   I’m surprised no one has used this phrase yet to parody Feminists.
   It would be hilarious to use against them.

   1. Matron suggests something more…benign…than what these insane feminists have become.
      Perhaps better, down with the Cuntarchy?
      Yeah, it’s the end of the day and I need a drink, heh.

   2. There is no matriarchy, at least no matriarchy oppressive enough to complain about.
      If it is meant to be a joke, still I’d say no. We are not trying to act like fools here.

4. In light of all the toxic ideas and lies being fed to the masses of men growing up in western society, it’s very refreshing to see that there are still men out there who aren’t shady with sharing the revelations and truths found on many articles on this site. There are still many isolated honest capable men out there who have to brave the emptiness of western society alone. A true Renaissance can’t happen unless all capable men are willing to work together. Too bad society teaches us to be shady to each other, deny thy brother out of every essential supply (money, healthy women and all other resources) i.e. through the spread of lies found in romantic comedies, promotion of feminism, beta bitch boy behavior and other PC crap you get fed as a normal guy growing up around these neck of the woods.

5. If nothing else, Feminism is proving to have a similar effect on population growth as the black death did.
   The mechanism by which the Black Death improved the average lot of survivors, were not because of some “worker shortage”, but simply because most valuable good back then were not far removed from pure natural resources, and fewer persons sharing the same resources, means a larger amount of resources per person. (There was probably also some shakeup of previously established hereditary transmitted suboptimal land distributions, but the big deal was simply having fewer people sharing the same sized crops.)

6. Historically, the European Renaissance is perhaps the only time where a dysfunctional culture has been transformed from within. Much more often, it simply grows weak, and is sacked by better men from the outside.
   Hence, if it was my money on the line, I’d place my bets with the nominal “Muslims” being the catalysts that will correct the slide the West is on, rather than some internal awakening.
   But I do applaud all those, us here and myself included, that are working to prove me wrong.

   1. You know I’ve actually thought about that and think it is pretty valid. I mean look at Europe and how the Muslims are imposing their way of life. And if the Muslims are not able to impose their will in a country, it is a result of a backlash by a conservative/nationalist group that would instill similar social ideals on the country.
      Either way a win-win for people like us who want to end liberalism, feminism and all that jazz.

   2. the only way the muslims will be the catalyst is if we have to discard the blue pill in order to prevent their destruction of our culture.

7. This article is just the kick up the arse I needed to get me into reading about the renaissance, I’ll start with purchasing one of the recommended books now. This site has changed me so much it’s unreal and I’ve managed to get good hardworking beta friends to take the red pill too. “each one teach one” Thanks men.

8. Great post. But, to both inspire and encourage men to act, I humbly take issue with one part of the above post and that is – this will take a long time. And it very well may, but, it doesn’t have to. Present day versus the Renaissance and present day versus…say, second wave feminism (1970s)…what’s the commonality? No web, which is a key advantage to us. In the days of the renaissance information traveled at the speed of livestock, in the 1970s I suppose the speed was there but it wasn’t efficiently distributed. Today, we have information traveling at light speed and applications that get it to the right people. That’s why the Renaissance took so long to transmit across Europe and, for that matter, why feminism took as long as it did, but, importantly, why feminism had to resort to storming board rooms, lawsuits and even women’s studies departments. Luckily, the leverage current technology gives men may relieve us from many of the arduous tasks the feminists had to do, and that’s a good thing. In my opinion I think the first thing men need to do is to spread awareness or red pill whatever. You see, we live in an era where some of the most insignificant dribble goes “viral” on a global basis in seconds. Moreover, the web allows us to organize and create our own community, in fact, I keep harping on the power that each one of us has right now to molt our feminized culture and create a new masculine one just by being able to deselect traditional media for a customizable solutions. In other words, having entertainment/media/news alternatives (and using them) to the statist media trough currently brainwashing all the blue pillers. This is the post singularity world, gents, we have all the tools and capabilities to make this social development occur, develop and mature at a very fast rate.

   1. My advice: begin separating your ideas into paragraphs. People won’t read a wall of text no matter how good your ideas are.

9. I see this often, this “How do we SAVE the others out there?” And the answer, unfortunately, is we don’t. They have to save themselves.
   I equate the red pill to a hot stove. No man who’s never been in a relationship will adopt the red pill thinking. He has to have been in that relationship and watched it deteriorate. He must realize all the chivalry he was taught to apply wasn’t water, but gasoline to the fire. He has to put his hand on the hot stove.

   1. Well, there are naturals, but otherwise, yeah, it’s tough to convert the idealistic.
      That said, with the huge amount of anti-male propaganda out here these days it’s not hard to see a lot of guys getting visibly frustrated at always being made into either the fool or the villain. While not quite the club we need, it does for a decent driver to advance us towards the hole, so to speak. Throw in one or two bad relationships (instead of a string of 20) and bam, new recruit.
      Just thinking out loud here.

      1. Bad relationship (hopefully just one or two) > frustration > moment of clarity, seeing how men in culture are treated > detached amusement> red pill.
         I think men realize something is off about relationship dynamics and advice, but like you said, it takes a bad relationship where things go tits up that he realizes he’s been lied to and he was prescribed the wrong rule book from the get-go.

         1. I agree that’s the big eye opening moment when you realize you have been conducting your life under the wrong rule book due to all the Blue Pill programming out there and then you begin to develop the right mind-set; Red Pill hopefully.
            Most people learn best with a 2×4 off side the head.

         2. I think detached amusement often comes AFTER red pill 🙂 It’s always funny to watch people trying to claim you are ‘angry’ after you give them a good dose of reality, when you are essentially watching with interest to see how many idiots make themselves clearly known by attempting to ‘debate’ the truth into nonexistence.
            I haven’t posted ‘angry’ since before the internet became the internet.

   2. @JJ_Sefton:disqus well said. Truth can only be obtained from pain. When has anything worth it ever been easy? Better to die alone choking down red pills than to be a slave under the con of some bitch. The only way anyone on this site was able to obtain such knowledge and validate it as truth was to run pure, objective and repeatable experiments out in nature (via fucking bitches, conning bitches etc); resulting in the same experimental results every single time. Women are like repeatable cycles in nature. Once you analyze these things in nature and you understand the fundamental principles in runs on (no matter how absurd you think it is because western female brains are absurd) you can practice the applications of such principles provided that you lose your own pride and fear. Perhaps the more profound lesson is that who you are and what you feel is irrelevant because its all just a beautiful lie. A beautiful lie with a pretty face. Your con must be stronger. Once you fall for the lie, you’ve lost. I actually don’t even like to promote the idea of red or blue pill. What I see is purely scientific. Women in our society lie. Because they have options. The trick is to make them all think that you “believe” their lies. But then it all becomes one big juggling act for you. Its like the con artist trying to con all the other con artists. This is my experience with the dating world post fuck boy LTR.

      1. Great, couldn’t agree more!

      2. quote: “The trick is to make them all think that you “believe” their lies. But then it all becomes one big juggling act for you. Its like the con artist trying to con all the other con artists. This is my experience with the dating world post fuck boy LTR.”
         Especially today when calling women and society on their BS will get you shunned, unaccepted and almost outcast from society this is the only way to go.

   3. a guy getting married in a few months? the bluest of blue pill betas. a guy who just got divorced a few months ago? primed and ready to swallow a whole bottle of red pills.
      good observation. you can’t tell these morons a damn thing when they are starry-eyed dreaming about the forever after with their NAWALT princess.

      1. Toby….is that avatare a pic of you?

         1. A fat beardy guy tipping his fedora? My guess is the avatar was chosen ironically. Anyone actually looking like that would be unlikely to espouse any red pill ideas.

   4. Good looking dudes never have to worry about that. They always get pretty girls that are loyal.
      Just like the chick I talked to once that said in her whole life she had never been stood up once.
      Red Pill is for the other 95% of us.

      1. This is patently false. Even as a man in the top 5% of looks/height, I was in my blue pill days regularly friend-zoned, cheated on, pushed around by girlfriends, and more than once spent multiple years involuntarily celibate. And I regularly see men even better-looking than me being dominated by their average-looking shrewish girlfriends or wives. All looks do for guys is get you an initial interview with or occasionally opened by an attractive woman–that’s it. The rest is completely dependent upon the guy’s remaining attributes/Game, and the post-initial attraction phase was a test I failed repeatedly in my blue pill days.
         That’s what you have to remember–a female 9 looks-wise is a 9 in attractiveness. Period. Her personality might add or detract a half-point at most. But a male 9 looks-wise can literally be anywhere from about a 3 to a 10 in terms of overall attractiveness. I was probably a 7 as a blue-pill beta but was mainly shooting for 8s and 9s due to the quality of women I could initially attract but could never sustain. Obviously, life is great now, as looks + life achievements + Game is pretty much an unstoppable combo.
         Red Pill is for the 95% who are not naturals. But even the naturals could benefit from it, in my opinion.

   5. I’ve noticed that most “blue pill” men at best aren’t very self reliant, and at worst are total dorks – their might be a connection between the ability to be independent and the degree to which you buy into the mainstream cultural narrative. Like an exchange you make: your soul/your heart/your truth, for the survival of your body (assuming you can’t make it – more or less – on your own). There may also be a connection between the amount of time you spend with women and “red pill” ideas as well. I suspect many of the people who frequent this site and come up with the ideas therein have spent on average far more time with women than the typical guy. Either way, I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, the higher your iq or emotional intelligence, the less likely you are to buy into the BS society sells, and ironically, the more likely you are to find a way to profit from it. Always see the positive side of things gents!! 🙂

      1. there are definitely incentives to being blue-ill that go beyond being deceived by the matrix. Those incentives need to be mapped and understood, before alternatives can be properly given

         1. Assuming I understand fully what blue-pill means, I couldn’t agree more. I still think what I mentioned above lends support to being blue-pill and red-pill respectively, but there are other factors. One huge one for me and perhaps all men is the emotional price you must pay accepting the truth.
            In the past, I believe only a small number of people needed to be fully “awake” for society, whatever its form, to function. It was the price they paid (those small number of people) for being leaders, but was more than made up for once because of the personal benefits of truth – power, understanding, clarity, tough mindedness, unity and singularity of mind etc., and once again because of the interpersonal benefits groups of people bestow on their leader.
            Just as dreams – even the most common ones of being chased – are often “sweeter” than the waking world leaving us a little sad whenever we must leave them behind, so to is being “partially awake” in the waking world more sweeter than being “fully awake”. In today’s world, more and more men who would be better off blue pill are exposed to knowledge (whether they accept it consciously or not) that could potentially cripple them – it’s a testament to human resilience that society has pushed so far in such an ugly direction without swallowing up the wellbeing of most individuals (weirdly enough, women included! they perhaps suffer the most from the ongoing changes) even as I recognize the increasing number of those diagnosed with various levels of psychopathology – those among us who have bore more than they are constitutionally able to without the psychic cushions the blue-pill provides. That blissful ignorance that allows for the highest levels of happiness (and I do mean happiness, not satisfaction) is missing from the redpill man and I believe to some degree all people as the effects of knowledge whether accepted or disavowed, fully understood or actively rejected, cannot be denied to our body and senses.

         2. “Sorrow is knowledge; cause he who truly knows, know that the tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.” – Byron

         3. psychic cushions – nice image. Maybe we can replace with red pill funbags down the line, but I agree, before that is possible, we need perhaps to be capable of laying our heads on the cold stone floor.
            It is right that we should seek to strip away consolation wherever we should find it, while bearing in mind that our self-deceptions may sometimes be mechanisms of survival. Hence the pessimism that too often harries our ranks when we divest ourselves of comforting blue pill beliefs.
            from blue to red pill is not just a shaking off of comforting lies and illusions. It is an epistemic crisis. Such a crisis is never just about facts, of what is the case, it is also about a loss of trust. When we discover that what we trusted was false, or wrong, or worse, designed as a system of manipulation, then we break off our relations of trust, in order to re-negotiate (or not) from the ground up.
            The philosopher McIntyre sees this an epistemologic crisis, such as Hamlet suffered on discovering proof of the murder of his father. Red pill requires a better response than madness and tragedy though. Those things are not an option when the will is to adapt. Rather it requires using this loss of trust in the world about us as a source of freedom and renewal, and as the basis for the re-birth of – if you like – the phoenix of civilization rising from the ashes.
            But of course there is much yet to do. We must first understand the systems in place, including the incentive systems, and complex dynamics, before any real re-wiring and re-building of the city can commence

         4. Very well said! Like cutting the (in this case metaphorical) umbilical cord once more, one of the toughest issues to deal with is that loss of trust. It sends many crazy, or to drugs, even suicide. I believe the biggest issue facing aboriginal peoples in Canada is precisely this: this loss of trust and the resultant fractured identities caused ultimately by the loss of their culture. Though most seem unable to articulate it to themselves and most abort the process far short of the “re-birth” you mention.
            This too is one of many reasons why women are poised to suffer the most from societal changes. They, most likely for survival and reproductive reasons, seem to have evolved to leave their “umbilical cords” in tact after the first birth. But if one can make it through the disintegration process, profound freedom awaits on the other side.
            I don’t think society as it exists now can function if everyone were “red-pill” though. Free men aren’t divorced from their labour, free men don’t “work” – they create and play and explore. I would also wager that there are some men among us who are constitutionally unable to successfully “cross-over” – hence many of the problems afflicting aboriginal communities. Pushing them to may not be best. Of course societies often create rituals, rights of passage, and other various structures that aid these sorts of things. But at that level is the man truly red-pill now? And at that level will the new civilization remain immune to the peculiar corruption dependent on certainty that comes from without?
            Lastly, despite the popularity of the phrase “red-pill woman”, and again assuming I’m understanding what red-pill is exactly, a red-pill woman is impossible and can never survive/thrive “sane”. A woman disintegrated by the red-pill (whether avowed or disavowed) is forced to bear her suffering either stoically until a new culture is created, or succumb to her psychopathologies.
            I guess ultimately what I’m asking is if it’s possible to have the city and the red-pill and how should the two be balanced the maximizes the success and lives of the human race. As we are now, free men, we are in the city but the city is not in us. I acknowledge the need for the city because there are those among us who can not and should not adopt the red-pill. The city for them is as a metaphorical womb where they remain incubated for their whole lives. But there in the safety of the womb, many a red-pill man is tempted to never leave the cave and see the sun for the first time. This too is a tragedy should it happen in large enough numbers.

         5. The reason I am not a pessimist is precisely because of the possibility, which is no more than a possibility, that as you say “if one can make it through the disintegration process, profound freedom awaits on the other side.”
            Idealism is a dangerous thing, and it is perhaps at odds with the idea of the red pill, at least to the extent that it is not firmly grounded in reality, but one of the opportunities of the twentieth century which I think has largely been missed, was the idea of some men such as bonhoeffer and maybe korzbyinski (I won’t claim to know that much about him) that this was the time of the adulthood of man. Which is to say that we now have the opportunity to take responsibility for ourselves: to think for ourselves, and take responsibility for our actions, including with respect to their outcomes.
            The missed opportunity is that everywhere in this society exactly the opposite is in
            evidence. Feminism in particular, the cults of victimhood, and the narratives of abuse, avoid all responsibility, by fleeing from a reality seen to be unkind and above all by adopting an other-blaming attribution style (though we too may be guilty of that sometimes)
            The result is infantilzation. Presented with the possibility of taking baby-steps towards real adulthood, the adulthood of taking responsibility for who you are, what you do, what you think etc., most of us, with the full support of the civilization we are part of, simply flunk the test, retreat to the bedroom of life, and even to use your image seek to return to the womb ….to re-attach the umbilical cord. So to state the obvious the cord must be cut once more that we may become men, adults once more.
            With regard to women. The wisdom goes that men are made, but women just are, and I think for the most part that is true, though of course feminism would disagree. Is that the whole thing? Certainly on the evidence I would say feminists mistake mimicking men with adulthood, all the while encouraging women to behave like children by refusing to take or accept responsibility.
            If the red pill is hard for men, it is doubly hard for women. Nearly all of feminism is either mimicry or defensive in nature. The protection from physical threat that society – and men – afford women, is the least of the protection they are given. Indeed protection from physical threat is increasingly unnecessary, whereas protection from ideas, hurtful or cutting speech, and of course from reality itself, is increasingly what society organises to provide them with.
            A society that organises around a psychosis cannot stay in an acute stage for long. It will either become chronic or will recover with help and support. And that is precisely why we should offer the red pill, offer to lead them out of the cave.
            Some will accept, most will not.
            This is idealism of course, but provided one measures ones expectations it may not be blue pill. It will no doubt depend on the woman, as much as the man. And perhaps
            on the seduction used, in its broadest, most transparent sense.
            But to return to the profundity of freedom, what we have now is a facsimile of freedom: a freedom that flees from reality, from responsibility, from our origins in nature and history. Those are things which absurdly feminism would set us free from. But some of that freedom can be real. In the absence of compulsion, an adult human being may choose what once they felt was compelled upon them. So much of feminism is pride, resentment and indignation. But if you choose something, why would you feel any of those things?

         6. “A freedom that flees from reality, from responsibility, from our origins in nature and history.” Yes!! I believe that is precisely what feminist want except I would say it another way. They want to be free from the “body”. I couldn’t say for sure, but my intuition tells me that freedom from the body is no freedom at all – rather we become imprisoned in idealism (I believe this is what you were also hinting at); a sort of death in life. Embracing the whole body does run the risk of becoming determined by our sexuality or pushed and pulled by our compulsions should we deny that sexuality in even the slightest. But if one can do it right, idealism and the ethical will embrace our sexual energies in those times where reality says we must not act, and instead of being determined by our sexuality, or denying it and in turn possessed by a compulsion, we give life to the sexual in our conscious imagination. Our creativity. Feminist will never get what they want because all pleasure comes from the body and they deny the body. Their movement is a decadent one.

         7. yeah, unfortunately everyone’s too polite to tell them that a raging strap-on isn’t any part of a woman’s body and that lots of little belly thrusts won’t change that.
            there is definitely a paradox here: feminism is both flight from and obsession with body. Just as it is a flight from and obsession with the men the men they feel commandeer that body.
            I think the death principle is at the heart of all levelling. Perhaps the essence of life (unfortunately?) is that we are unequal. That is its truth and cruelty. There is some death seeking in all civilization perhaps, but feminism, socialism takes that to its extreme, always working towards the moment of flat-lining.
            They are alive only because they have yet to fully succeed

      2. They go through life getting their way by complaining a lot and having other people help them. If you strip away their self-righteous causes, most leftist men have very few real accomplishments.

         1. So true.

   6. Pain is the most efficient method by which organisms learn, and for many it is the ONLY method save evolution.
      Is this really so surprising?

   7. The sad thing is when men, even after having some trollop destroy their life, accept total blame for what happened. Sure she ran me over with a car, but I had it coming to me! What kind of spineless fucking logic is this? Even the women who ran them over don’t respect it. Yet the blue pill man is so tied to the misinformation machine that he walks over the cliff willingly, needing no push from anyone.

10. What translations do any of you recommend for the books listed above?

11. > Some say that the Black Death helped to facilitate the Renaissance period through a number of socioeconomic changes such as creating a labor shortage which in turn increased wages allowing for a better standard of living.
    This is it. It sounds horrible but it’s the truth: if population were to decrease right now, standard of living would increase dramatically. And with it, culture and progress. The conventional blue-pill wisdom that popoulation growth = economic growth is not based on reality but based mostly on personal political agendas (people looking to increase the population of their own race so as to become the dominant one, even if their ‘race’ is actually going against every single ideal they stand for).

    1. We don’t have to decrease the population by killing them off. We need to deport the 30 million illegal aliens and place a 5-year moratorium on all immigration. If we had the political will to do that, life for the average American would dramatically improve. Blame shitlibs for cockblocking any changes that would actually work, thus forcing us into civil war.

12. I can’t emphasize enough how important and necessary it is for every man to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius on a yearly basis. Start with the Hays translation.
    “Accept whatever comes to you woven in the pattern of your destiny, for what could more aptly fit your needs?”
    “Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.”
    “A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.”
    “Nothing happens to anybody which he is not fitted by nature to bear.”
    ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

13. Actually it was ISLAM that brought on the Renaissance in Europe.
    http://jesusneverexisted.com/cairo-autumn.html
    Christianity is what created the dark ages.
    And once again, ISLAM will save the West from feminism by bringing it’s superior culture to Europe.
    ALLAHU ACKBAR!

    1. The decline of Roman Empire resulted in the Dark Ages. Islam a “superior culture”? Haha, in Mohammed’s pants!
       P.S. Allah doesn’t exist either.

       1. Actually, the dark ages were caused, not solely by the decline of the roman empire, but by the successive waves of barbaric ‘human migration’ the loss of Roman military might permitted combined with a series of incredibly potent plagues that literally decimated white europe.
          When half your culture has been replaced by cannibalistic druids and the other half has lost 90% of it’s members, survival requires some damned draconian methods. The real wonder is that the dark ages managed to keep european culture alive in the face of muslim adventurism.

          1. You are correct Brigadon to attribute the “waves of barbaric” migration as influencing The Dark Ages. Plague, too, is a downer. It’s amazingly resilient of them to have survived. Something about a “superior culture” was mentioned above… haha The big factor was the Roman fall – whatever contributing factors. Similar results (infighting, bad economy) occurred in Britain when Romans pulled out leaving only Hadrian’s Wall, my family’s surname and a mythic desire for a return of the king. Interesting stuff, but too much detail for my intended insult to ‘allah is great’ above.

    2. LOL

       1. Q: What’s the difference between Dar al-islam and Dannon yogurt?
          A: The yogurt has a living culture.

    3. A true Muslim would never say that Jesus never existed – they hold Christ to be a prophet.
       This is either a joke or…well, it must be a joke.

    4. GTFO Jewish Feminist Troll.
       As ODriscoll put it , A true Muslim would never say that Jesus never existed – they hold Christ to be a prophet.
       Your agenda is to pollute this site by pitting Christians against Muslims by posting under a Muslim sympathizer name, and replying back to your own comments in another Christian alias, with Islamophobic comments.
       Pitting Christian goyim against Muslim goyim by creating mutual hatred –
       classic Zionist propaganda. Just as they created feminism to destroy the women of the goyim religions.
       It’s pity to see that because you failed to spam this site with anti-red pill comments, you now try to create dissensions among the red pill society by sowing religious hatred.
       On the internet one can see the correct spelling is Allahu Akbar, not Allahu Ackbar.
       Ackbar is Jewish propaganda.

       1. Leaving zionism aside, I’ve always found it suspicious that the anti-muslim feeling that inevitably followed 9/11 etc coincided with a massive spurt of legitimacy for feminism / LGBT campaigns. Maybe the muslim attacks happened because they thought the west had become decadent, but the consequent ability to attack anything that could be associated with religion (as a cause of backwardness and mayhem) has spurred ‘progressivism’ on no end. Has this been manipulated. I believe it probably has been

          1. Who created pornography? Jews.
             Who runs the pornography/prostitution industry? Jews.
             Who are the elite rich in the world (especially US)? Jews.
             Who runs the world bank? Jews.
             Who created feminism and are in fact the leading proponents of it? Jews.
             Who controls the media in the US and other Anglosphere
             countries? Jews.
             Which country in the world still has a rising population with
             rising birth rates while the rest of the Christian goyim dominated as well as Muslim goyim dominated countries continue to experience decreasing populations
             and falling birth rates? ISRAEL!
             How could this be possible? By spreading disease (through
             pornography) and feminism in the Christian and Muslim goyim dominated countries – to create decreasing populations.
             Jews already control the banks, and their domination over the goyim populations is complete with mutual hatred among Christians and Muslims by propaganda (by spreading anti-Christian as well as anti-Muslim sentiments among the population), and feminism.
             Feminism is synonymous with Jews and Zionists. It was
             created by them to destroy the goyim women of the world – because if the women are destroyed, the men will immediately follow.

          2. I am well aware of the arguments. The jewish race is a very clever and influential one. I am just wary of anything that can’t be proven, and whatever its truth, sounds like ‘conspiracy’, and will be interpreted in terms of the cataclysm of the mid twentieth century.
             The jewish race is supremely adaptive, and part of that adaptativeness is defensive, which to the extent that any or all of the above is true, will be what accounts for any such behind the scene puppet-mastery as you are alleging.
             My suggestion, if you have a problem with jews, conscionable or unconscionable, your best bet is to persuade them to abandon matrilineal descent and to open their religion to as you say, the goyim, the gentiles. Let them experience multiculturalism with full effect for their race / religion . Work to help them embrace the world according to the beliefs they have themselves propagated to the extent that they have propagated those views.
             Petition equality minded jews for patrilineal descent and the opening up of their great nation

          3. You can’t argue, or negotiate with Jews/Zionists. As their vision and ambition of the promised land and eventual supremacy over the goyim populations is a dream and goal which has been pursued over centuries right from Mosaic times – to which the average Jew/Zionist still holds sacred in his heart. They even killed their own prophets who spoke out against their ungodliness; they even persecuted Jesus for the same.
             The Talmud itself condones killing of infant goyim children; and an average modern Jew/Zionist will rarely betray his faith, as compared to the average goyim Christian or Muslim who has lack of faith in his own scriptures. The weakness of Christian and Muslim goyim when it comes to their faith has allowed the Zionist to exploit this and control them.
             There will never be “equality minded Jews”. Are there any “equality minded feminists” who’d accept the suzerainty of men over women? Feminism was itself created by Jews to destroy the suzerainty of goyim Christians and Muslims over them, by proxy.
             The greatest manipulation of the Zionists is the destruction of modern society by feminism. Once you destroy the women of a society, the men will inevitably fall too. That’s what happened to the Christian goyim societies of the world by feminism; and is now been seen also in Muslim goyim societies. Whereas Jewish/Zionist women continue to procreate with rising birth rates in Israel. The destruction of foolish, worldly Christian and Muslim goyim societies by Zionist-funded feminism is one of the biggest manipulations in modern history.

          4. A lot of feminists are jews. We know that. If your arguing a connexion that’s correlation not cause. That doesn’t mean it is or it isn’t but just that you should keep in mind that correlation is all that you can demonstrate, whatever you may or may not suspect.
             Personally I have a problem with conspiracies, not because there aren’t any, but because of the way they come across, and the assumptions they seem to require in order to believe them, argue, demonstrate them etc.
             All conspiracies conjure up the picture of people communicating in secret, physically or otherwise, ideas that work against others. That is they conjure up the idea of something very conscious, and very articulate, directed against others.
             Such things to happen. It is in the nature of conspiracies that they are rarely exposed, so one can rarely say anything very much for certain but probably the truth is more of a mixed bag. People, or in this case ‘peoples’ – may share ideas, goals and strategies, and will continue to share them to the extent they work. With regard to jewish people, whatever it says in the torah etc, they have a shared history that is chock full of pogroms, persecutions and exiles. They were always going to respond to such things defensively, and indeed it is precisely the need to defend against attack, persecution, pogrom etc, that motivates the strategies they have come up with. Making money is the desire to be secure, above so that you are not below. It is a function of that far more than it is a function of any motivating laws permitting usury. Likewise zionist ideas relating to israel, is defensive. The cultural marxists of the frankfurt school, although they pre-dated the second world war were almost certainly inspired not just by a desire to break down gentile cultures from within but to whatever it took to defend against war and violence, because their experience of war and violence, particularly within the second world war was annihilatory.
             Therefore if you work on making jews more secure rather than less secure, while working to open up their closed culture and make it an open culture (ok its a long term project), then you remove the fuel from the fire so to speak.
             You say you can’t argue with jews any more that you can argue with feminists. That’s true, but its a question of how you argue. After all we are arguing with feminists.
             And as for there being no equality minded jews it is not about what is in the heart it is about the internal logic of their own ideas, in this case of equality, and multi-faith, multi-culturalism (something which many jews are involved in promoting as I imagine you would agree).
             If there is one thing that jewish history shows clearly, it is that persecuting jews does not work. If though they are guilty of what you say they are guilty of, then there is nothing to say they should not, to the extent only that is true, be hoist by their own petard.
             Work from within

          5. what was even more manipulated than that is our perception of who carried out the attacks. all roads lead back to Tel Aviv.

          6. I don’t dare to think that…….and wouldn’t that mean the jew and the muslims co-operating. The only time that ever happened was in the Naked Gun

          7. no, the jews and the zionist christians in the Bush white house cooperated to allow/encourage the attack to happen. the whole thing stinks to high heaven, the official story is the most obvious lie of the century, and I’ll just leave it at that.

          8. anything’s possible in this fallen world

          9. This stuff is the TRUE red pill, that most of the so-called enlightened ones have yet to grasp. The pill doesn’t get any redder than this. But it’s all the truth, easily verifiable by anyone brave enough to spend a couple evenings on Google doing their own research.

          10. Yes, powerful men never get together in private and make plans to increase their power at others’ expense……hmmm. I know that’s not exactly what you said but denying conspiracies is tantamount to making that statement.
              As for the roots of feminism, make a list of the 50 most prominent early feminists in America – the loudest ones who were most influential in spreading it – and then tally up the percentage of them that are jewish. Their own actions speak louder than any conspiracy theories ever could.
              As for the rest, it’s all very easy to prove most of your points misinformed or false, but we are getting way sidetracked here so I’m going to bow out for now.

          11. fair enough. I would never deny that conspiracies exist. But they’re nearly always impossible to prove conclusively; including because they’re are other ways of explaining the evidence e.g. self-organising activity short of conscious strategised goals, and most importantly once you start to believe in conspiracies ….. it starts to effect you. I know that from personal experience. Sometimes also its about how you describe the evidence presented.
              for the record I’ve seen the list of feminists so i understand where you’re coming from

          12. I respect your points, you are obviously a very intelligent and reasonable guy.

          13. I appreciate that. Likewise

          14. For you, and all those red pillers who haven’t seen it yet, here is the most red-pill documentary of them all. They didn’t even consider it for the Academy. Truth can be strangled, but can’t be annihilated. Falsehood is evanescent.
              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkRTSBYbZRA

          16. Michael Moore Fahrenheit 911?
              you must be joking! If ever there was a picture of a communist propagandist surrender monkey omega manbood well just Look below:

          17. Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw, HG Wells, Richard Wagner, Martin Luther, the apostle Paul…what do they all have in common, besides being giants of Western civilization? They all condemned Judaism for its
              excesses.These quotes are on record and easily referenced. It’s no conspiracy – it’s documented.
              “Second wave feminism,” the most extreme form, was lead by predominantly by Jewish women: Betty Freidan (The Feminine Mistique), Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Andrea Shimulith, Andrea Dworkin, etc. It continues today
              with women like Naomi Wolf, Sheri Argov, etc. There seems to be no end to these Jewish women and their attempt to overturn the traditional family structure: to create a “schlemeil” out of the American male – an ineffectual Woody Allen buffoon.The names of these women are on record and easily referenced. It’s no conspiracy – it’s documented.
              And let’s not forget the greatest crime of Jews in America- bringing the scourge of circumcision into the medical community. The Greeks, the Romans…all the world’s great civilizations – they told the Jews to GTFO with that cock cutting garbage. The pleasurable benefits of the prepuce have been well known since antiquity, and few societies were willing to part with it. But America has been duped. Jews have been hated for ages for one principal reason – their tireless desire to mutilate the world’s genitals in their image. It’s no conspiracy – it’s documented if you have the courage to seek an answer.
              If there is anything that has stolen the mojo of the American male, it is clearly the rise of Judaism.
              So saying this is some conspiracy, akin to crop circles in Wichita, is denial.

       2. …one who has eyes to see…

    5. *~~ Congratulations! You have won the Dumbest Post Of The Week award. ~~*

       1. Hey at least Muslims know how to impress their girls…. LOL

    6. It’s a trap!

    7. I have to say that I am gradually starting to come around to this Muslim thing. They have their priorities straight when it comes to women. I see Muslim men with their women following behind them and it just seems right.
       I am literally thinking about visiting a mosque to see how it goes.
       I don’t think that I could actually make a good Muslim in terms of regularly practicing their crazy religious rituals. But I wonder if I could fake it for a while?
       What would be really great would be if we could find some place that practice the typical Muslim cultural aspects, but does not include much of Islam, or has Islam light.

       1. Agreed, they know how to control their womyns, behave like men, are great fighters and very religious. All good traits unfortunately they follow a false Prophet and a bad religion.

       2. They have managed to keep their sex roles straight, but thats about the only thing they have going for them. Apart from some of the oil wealth, Islamic societies aren’t exactly prosperous, technologically advanced or culturally enriched, and I dont believe thats an accident.

    8. :and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell Followed with him. –>>>>>
       Hey Turban-Head Muhammad was the biggest con man in history, all you sand monkeys lapped up his insane ranting as if it was scripture.
       Go back into the black hole you crawled up from evil scorpion; everlasting Hell fire awaits you and your kind.
       

14. Just bought a paperback copy of Meditations on amazon for…$1.06.

    1. Just downloaded Meditations off The Pirate Bay for…free

    2. Just downloaded it for free- here…
       http://www.philaletheians.co.uk/Study%20notes/Living%20the%20Life/Marcus%20Aurelius'%20Meditations%20-%20tr.%20Casaubon.pdf

    3. I still got a better deal than you two because it would cost you more than $1.06 to print that shit.

       1. Unless they just decide to read it off their kindle, tablet or smart phone like any other non luddite 😉

          1. There is pleasure to be had in reading a real paper book… besides, it’s more environmentally friendly to use, produce and recycle. Men have been growing plants and manufacturing paper for thousands of years with no problems at all…

          2. Paper books take up a fuckload of space and weigh a lot however, and when you read as much as I do that becomes a problem. I was starting to run out of space to put my books until I went mainly digital a few years back.
             Theres also the benefits of reducing shipping cost and time (instant delivery!) when you go digital. Plus using no paper at all is more environmentally friendly than using recycled paper, if you care about that sort of thing.

          3. Not to throw water on your parade here Apollo, but I’d like you to research exactly how many resources go into each and every microchip in your Kindle, then get back to me about “environmentally friendly”.
             You’ll be shocked, is all I have to say.
             Then, consider the power and resources needed each time you recharge it. Books cost resources after production, whereas every time you read, some schmo in Kentucky has to remove more coal out of the ground.
             Not being a Luddite here, just a realist. Nothing against electronic books, but let’s not pretend it’s some kind of hippy dippy eco-friendly thing.

15. “One of the reasons feminism is so powerful is because they are united, men are not. Man has always been a selfish creature and we have yet to change our actions and thoughts accordingly to adapt to this modern world. Strength in numbers is key; help yourself, then your fellow-man.”
    – Try teaching that to the modern man, who’s more loyal to his own dick and his bitch’s holes, than to his fellow brothers. And all you’d get is guffaws of hysterical, sarcasm-laden laughter.
    Feminism knows this weakness of men and that’s why women have always ruled men, because they know a man will betray his fellow brother just to get access to her holes. And women were, are and always will be united to bring men down using sex, and men were, are and will also be united with women to bring masculinity down.
    So end result – women win, men lose.
    One of the purposes of Woman’s existence is that she is Man’s greatest trial.
    And Man may have fearsome wars to defeat other fellow men – but he always loses to woman when it comes to sex. Shame on modern men.

    1. And that is the weakness of the PUA movement and the “rack up notches at any cost” mindset. It only further entrenches female social superiority and dominance by pitting us against each other to AMOG the next guy. Good that this site is taking a more big-picture approach to being men, rather than just reveling in being a bunch of cooze hounds.
       As soon as you realize that fucking girls just isn’t that great compared to, say closing a big deal for your own business, bench pressing 300 lbs for the first time, or hanging out with a close circle of bros, you understand that pussy is a side dish, not the entree. And ironically, at that moment, the pussy begins throwing itself at you.

       1. I don’t know, I think there may be some other things to consider.
          PUA seems to be more red pill than it is given credit for. For example, some of the basic concepts:
          – One women doesn’t want you, then “next” her. More around the corner (if that isn’t the opposite of putting women on a pedestal, what is?)
          – Realities of social interaction required to get anywhere worthwhile with women
          – Changing yourself in order to better fit the challenges you have to face
          –
          Maybe it would be more accurate to consider PUA concepts as an add-on to the red pill and the things needed to improve our own masculinity. The social skills a blue pill man lacks definitely will be enhanced if he learns “game” and know that in the real world it takes a lot more effort to get those skills.

          1. I agree that PUA is an integral part of the red pill, and will be the gateway for most. I also think it’s time to move to a bigger vision, and a more comprehensive approach to shaping the world to our will. The journey begins with PUA but leads to something much greater and more important. A reclamation of who we were meant to be as men.

          2. A spoonful of pussy helps the medicine go down.
             When you get rewarded positively for improving yourself, then you keep on doing it.

16. I think the red pill comes complete with it’s own dissemination.
    Once taken it is impossible to see the world in the same way again. Over time it forces changes in behavior. One of those changes is the tendency to promote red pill concepts either in word or deed.
    People notice. Some of them want to learn more. And the red pill compels Red Pillers to teach those with the ears to hear.
    That’s it’s power; it spreads organically, like a benign virus, moving past those who refuse to accept it with barely a ripple, but being embraced with open arms by those men who thirst for a true understanding of the world. Neither the laws of the land, the powers of the State or the mores of society can stop it spreading. It’s why feminists hate it. For all the power they have gained over the last 50 year – there is nothing they can do to stop it spreading and growing.

    1. what’s powerful is that it is stands largely outside the ‘consensus values’ that are part of the core programming of a liberal education. What is eye-opening is that while many of the ideas are taken from the ancient to modern western canon, you could spend much of your life in education or academia and never really encounter them. Yet there is a point of recognition, a sense of recovered memory, here because you find yourself hearing ideas spoken that you already at some level believed but couldn’t quite articulate, precisely because the words needed to say those things have been or are in the process of being stolen from us

       1. Only those who voraciously absorbed Neitsche recognize the source of their familiarity.

          1. The eternal return. Bring it on.

    2. The down side is that you stop enjoying entertainment media so much. Once you can see the liberal propaganda, the hardcore agitprop, and political education in even the most innocuous programming, you lose some of your joy in mindless absorption.
       After all, there are not too many programs like ‘firefly’ around anymore 🙂 And most ‘intelligent’ programming does little more than flatter innate intellectual bankruptcy.

17. Suberb. Well done.
    When I was a small boy my father was very protective of me. He would not let me walk across the highway to where all my friends from school lived. I spent my childhood years alone. My father had many books in our basement – one of which was a large Art book containing only the work of Michelangelo. The images scared me. Yet, it always drew me back. And my young eyes and mind absorbed those images. And forever left their mark.
    Now – in todays age — these beta faggot fathers give their fucking kids Nintendo Wii’s to look at.
    Lol.

18. I like the idea of a renaissance following such a period of white feminist black death (or lesbionic plague if you prefer) but I would urge those who believe such a renaissance is necessary and possible to recall that just as we must ground that renaissance in the lessons of history and the literature of the classics and great writers, we should also be concerned to look forwards towards the future, and all its possibilities, technological or otherwise. Feminism and the progressives have stolen a march by claiming the future under the ‘banner of progress’. Whatever your view of history, whether you see it as linear progress or cyclical, be careful of believing that the golden age is necessarily in the past (as ironically, the greeks seem to have done). I dislike progressivism because of much of its content, but whether enlightenment values still hold water etc, the idea of progress is still a powerful one. I would rather seek to commandeer that idea, than seek to kill it. A literal re-birth must look forward at least as much as it looks back.

19. Check out this “manosphere blog” that’s a call out for men to rise up together and stop being bitches to their women. http://www.mensanity.com It’s all about how to stop bending over backwards to please your woman because the foundation of her expectations are irrational.
    The cause is lost as soon as one man bitches out in a group because all the other gfs/wives will use him as the “example” for you to behave. Weed out the weak ones amongst yourselves. Don’t let the beta male in your group skew your objective.

    1. You sound like just another fuckwad trying to take advantage of men for your own greed by spamming your fucking lame-ass blog.
       GTFO.

    2. shoulder to shoulder stupidity again… why is it that every other newbie assumes that ‘rising together’ is the only way to defeat collectivisim?
       Keep reading and researching. you may someday learn enough to understand that reality isn’t about collectivism. It’s about leaders who inspire loyalty and followers that inspire faith.

20. Great post!

    1. Thanks

21. It starts with education:
    – Gender segregation in education to stop pussification and let our natural competitive brutality emerge
    – A strong focus on science, philosophy and independent thinking
    – The use of religion, myth and stories to transmit red pill values
    – an unapologetic portrayal of Western cultural values as being superior with a hat-tip to the Asians, who also kick ass, but nothing but contempt for lesser cultures, socialists, and those who threaten to wreck society
    – lots of cool group activities including martial arts training
    – Red Pill lectures, including school organized sex tours to reinforce a healthy sense of misogyny

    1. I don’t know if I would willingly hat-tip asians. They might have greater intellect, but their evolved complacency and innate bowing to authority, lack of innovation and originality, and cultural stagnation makes them little better than the enormous fat man sitting in the corner drinking beer.
       Sure, he occasionally lets out a quip of ‘wisdom’ rather than getting down and dirty in the barroom brawl, but usually his ‘wisdom’ rather strongly resembles simply being too old to care.

       1. +1 man that is fucking deep to the point. LOL

22. Articles like this make me proud to be here.
    Funny how all the accusations of “misogny” and “pathetic little men” mean nothing in the face of men who seek to better themselves and take advantage of the wisdom of ancient authors.
    Honestly, I feel motivated to read the material he suggested.
    As encouraged by other “red pill” sites, I started studying stoicism and found wisdom offered by the Greeks.
    Interesting that we are accused of being sniveling, weak, pathetic boys yet we are discussing advanced subjects and literature & high-level concepts from days gone by…

    1. meh, it’s insults from women.
       who the hell cares? the only thing to do when a lesser species flings poo at you is clean it off and abandon them.
       trying to ‘teach’ them not to fling shit only justifies them and covers you in shit.

       1. Haha this. When writing I don’t give much attention to such accusations. Remember what the ancients said “Haters gonna hate” (or did they??).
          People are always going to have something bad to say, but if we wish to move forward we can’t expend our time and energy focusing on the negative and the hate, only on what will better us.

23. The first step in any Renaissance will be understanding that the decline of the West isn’t just the “natural progression” of a society, but rather a calculated, extended attack, meant to weaken and ultimately destroy the West. Once you understand that, and where it comes from, then you can begin to combat the source.

    1. This will be the next stage of the red pill. And sites that refuse to address the 800 lb. gorilla in the room will become irrelevant.

    2. Who’s to say that an extended attack on civilization isn’t natural?
       Every time a new group of elites forms, the first thing they do is try to shut down the path to power for everyone else. This has occurred in every civilization that has risen to greatness in history. Every new group of elites, once they have gained power, desires that that power not be diluted, in the foolish assumption that that will ensure that they and their offspring remain elite ‘forever’.
       The end of their power is always necessary for cultural growth, and it is ALWAYS bloody. It is as natural as killing and eating animals.

    3. The decline of Western society has been caused deliberitely, but theres a civilisation cycle thoery that suggests decline is inevitable regardless. All great societies of the past have peaked and declined.
       I think we are past the point where western civilisation can be saved, and the only thing to do now is prepare yourself and make the most of the situation.

24. I don’t think there will be a Renaissance. Things are too far gone.
    All you can do at this point is enjoy the decline, as they say. Just use the sluts, look out for yourself and you friends, and don’t sweat it.

25. Sooo excited to become Alpha. Reading of the classics begins now. Starting with Sappho, soon to be followed by Euripides’ Medea.

26. To the growing list of classics I might add Aristotle’s Rhetoric. It is a book about how to persuade, something that some of the authors here might find useful. Some of the book is devoted to learning to understand audiences, and it is in these parts that Aristotle lays down some deep red pill knowledge about human beings, and the ways we work.
    It is not the same kind of stuff usually promoted here, but I liked it.

    1. I usually recommend Spinoza’s Ethics as well, and a hefty dose of neitsche.
       Logic and Rhetoric is tough, but worth the time. It helps you understand the deeper reasons behind human (meaning male) interaction and why certain approaches to conceptualizing work and don’t work.

27. Truth is though, men tend to fight among each other. Even in the manosphere guys fracture into stupid little coalitions over minor ideological differences.
    This puritanism is not only irrational, it is a product of leftist indoctrination – one cannot be allies unless all parties agree. A realist should accept any ally working towards the same cause, regardless of how much the other party may offend them on other issues. Especially in situations like this, where the irrational feelings-first crowd has us greatly outnumbered.

    1. Peter-Andrew: Nolan gifted you men the answer to all your problems in Living Free in the Femnazi World. He proved the remedy he developed worked by bringing you video from inside a court room.
       And what did you men do with this gift of love to his fellow men?
       You attacked him for it. And now, 4 years after he achieved what can only be called amazing thing? Have things improved for you men? Are things better or worse? Because I know Peter. And I can assure you his life is better than it was 6 years ago.
       You fracture in to your own little ego driven groups and follow your own little ego driven leaders. Your look for someone else to solve your problems for you. Whereas Peter has been advising you to look inside, find your own path, and then just get advice from others so as to follow your own leadership, follow your own dream.
       When you men are ready to live in freedom? Living Free in the Femnazi World will still be there. Some of you might even bother to read it now that you are slowly realising that it was the gift to show you how to walk the path to live in freedom.

       1. you know, signing in as a ‘guest’ and talking in the third person doesn’t exactly lend credence to your point, Pete.

    2. minor ideological differences? seriously?
       If you consider the differences between big-government ‘oughta make a new law’ and little government ‘Oughta get rid of a law’ to be minor differences, what do you consider major differences?
       If you consider pussy begging ‘please give us a few scraps of what we gave you’ versus “fuck you, I am taking back what you don’t deserve” to be minor differences, what is a major difference?
       If you consider “Look, we are getting hurt as badly as you” whining versus “We are better than you and are ready and able to do what’s necessary to prove it.” to be minor differences, You need to seriously reconsider your priorities.
       The leftist-liberal, pussy-begging, gun-grabbing, big government worshipping social justice avenger is NOT the ally of the man of change, the doer of deeds (even if that deed is walking away), the historian and the researcher of reality. We are natural enemies. We can NOT cooperate, because our goals are in utter opposition. The pussy beggar wants the government to force equality, and the Darkly enlightened is working towards and encouraging the real world to eliminate the fantasy of equality.
       You seem to believe that ‘all men together shoulder to shoulder’ bullshit. Men create change as individuals, not groups. Alexander the great would never have succeeded if he had asked other rulers to join with him in uniting the world. Einstein may have built upon the work of others, but he did not demand their assistance in order to proceed. Neil Armstrong didn’t join with the rest of the world arm-in-arm before he set foot on the moon.
       Men need, or need to BE, leaders, not ‘comrades’. Democracy and mob tactics only destroy, they never create.
       Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way.

       1. And how many left wing social justice radicals are here in the manosphere? I’m talking about things like people fighting over PUA vs MGTOW or some shit

          1. the arguments between PUA’s and MGTOWs are simply strutting. They do not display a ‘split’ in philosophy. Sure, they seem to get rough, but they are no more than a couple of brothers fistfighting behind the barn.
             Basically, PUA’s and MGTOWS are exactly the same…. PUA’s have chosen to ‘go their own way’, but their way happens to include learning how to fuck lots of women.
             MGTOWS simply don’t care to spend the necessary time and energy on women. They’d rather spend it doing something they enjoy that is less stressful.
             Otherwise the two groups are more or less identical in outlook. Any strife you see between them is not ideological, it’s just chickenpecking.
             However, I would not look to devotees of either for leadership. They are both a bit too narcissistic to have what it takes to alter the liberal paradigm. They both assist in small ways, but are not going to be reliable for the big change.
             And BTW, the left wing social justice radicals are on AVFM mostly. Read some of their stuff to understand that the M(H)RM and the Manosphere are truly enemies.

28. Good article: there is so much discourse that can benefit the moderns man journey – consider John Bunyans Pilgrims Progress for instance http://www.classicly.com/download-the-pilgrims-progress-pdf

29. To counter this plague, we need to teach our sons and daughters early.
    The problem is we have these females( not femenists) who equate pushiness/bossiness with being strong, so they start unecessary battles with their spouse or boyfriend.
    They typically train thier sons to be little spoiled men of the house who will probably have serious relationship issues in the future.
    This is my experience that had me take the red pill.
    It’s sad but true that most men will have to experience this warfare in order to have this clatity.

30. This article has many great points but the Black Plague = Feminism analogy is inaccurate. In order to truly understand the Renaissance you have to understand what came before it – the Dark Ages/Medieval Europe. This was basically the Post-Apocalyptic state that came about after the fall of the Roman Empire. Plague was just one threat the people faced. Europe was overrun by Barbarians. Language and learning died. Life was cheap. The strong ruled. In essence, the Roman Empire and the stability and prosperity it provided was wiped out. Europe went backwards.
    Why is this important? Because by wiping out the old system it allowed for a new, more dynamic and vibrant system to take its place. Rome fell because it became stagnant and the external forces it faced were dynamic. Ironically, this is what gave Europe its advantage in the long run against the powers of the East. They had no Dark Age or great destruction, so their stagnant systems stayed in place. One historian made the point that if a Chinese person in 200 AD were to time travel to 1200 AD, he would recognise everything – the culture, the language, the social systems, etc. If a European did the same he would recognise nothing.
    So what does this tell us about today? Feminism is part of the problem, not the problem. It’s a symptom of social stagnation and a deeply illusioned culture that does not understand how reality works. Yes, a new enlightenment is the cure, but I’m wondering if we have the dynamism and imperative for social change that can make such an enlightenment possible. In other words, I don’t think our Dark Age has become dark enough yet.

31. There is a terrific blog by Charles Hugh Smith called Of Two Minds. He covers a lot of social, economic and political topics and has a unique and insightful mini-essay each day. They’re definitely worth it and he’s a go to stop for me each day.
    Here is a post entitled, “The Remnant, the Pareto Principle and You.” A lot of it applies to the ideas presented here.
    Give it a look. And the site. It would be worth your time for many of you I think.

    1. Good link, Ive only read as far as the first bit about “the remnant” and I can already see the connection you were indicating. Thanks for posting that.

32. You know who introduced me to the classics? My father. He made me learn a lot of latin for church, too. He also taught me how to shoot, to fish, drive, balance my checkbook, weld, to debate, and fight. That’s how we inspire masculinity in other men. We start, and finish at home. As St. Ignatius said “Give me the child for seven years, and I will give you the man.”
    College sublimated the red pill in me that was waiting to come out. Going out into the world, it took a few years, but I came around. I am astounded at my father’s patience, as he waited for life experience to counter the brainwashing that did manage to get through despite his best efforts.
    Any one of you who has boys has a hand in the shaping of our future as men. Those of you who don’t want kids are certainly playing it safe- for those of us who got lucky in love or tried and failed at having a family, shitty circumstances can be a hindrance, but not necessarily a roadblock to inspiring masculinity in our boys.

33. “The following are several examples of classic works that will provide one with invaluable insight:
    Meditations by Marcus Aurelius”
    Meditations is one of my all time favorites. A true testament of wisdom and inner strength. Rest assured, you will never find it in the selected reading list of any higher education syllabus.

34. This needs to go further.
    The Modern Man needs a comprehensive mastery of an array of competences — an everyman’s Septivium.
    To be a complete and competent Renaissance Man, you need to master the Septivium below:
    1. A Philosophy
    2. A Diet
    3. A Regimen
    4. A Trade
    5. A Muse
    6. An Art
    7 A Craft

35. I’m sure a lot of you heard about that kid in Pennsylvania who went on a
    rampage, stabbing 20 people at his high school and also the epidemic of
    school shootings in general.
    Notice how all of these school shootings and stabbings arise from boys who are being bullied? If there’s ever an example of the Emasculation of the American Male, this phenomenon is it.
    American public schools go out of their way to emasculate boys as much as possible, which is why we are seeing them act out this way. They are taught not to be assertive and to not stand up for themselves, which is what feeds the never-ending cycle of bullying.

36. “Thanks to the almighty Al Gore”
    Not really. It was Tim Berners Lee who not only invented World Wide Web (the architecture used by this website as well as all others) but freely gave away patent rights, making sure no one agency had exclusive authority over it.
