Lately ROK writer Corey Savage has penned a couple of pieces about the negative sides of anger. His pieces exude hard-earned, experience-based wisdom. It is very easy, when one is red-pilled and wants more than riding the tide of the dark age, to get angry at something: the daily news, the hegemony of cultural Marxism, how the so-called “far right” gets beaten down by the forces of the system at each election, the ever-increasing number of non-whites in the streets, the degeneracy of women… in a world as ugly as the current mainstream, sources of anger are potentially infinite.
The system knows well about the downsides of anger and mercilessly plays on them. It maintains a lax policy on black-on-white and anti-Trump violence in order to force whites into defending themselves, then points finger at their supposed “violence.” It constantly demonizes innocent people and sacrifices them on the SJW altar, and if said people show a righteous anger against their attackers, this very anger will be singled out to reinforce the narrative that locks them down into the villainous role. In short, the system provokes in us an anger it is able to recuperate and turn back against us later.
Getting angry at people or things we have no power over, getting provoked into flaring up publicly at something and then being labelled the violent one, are important downsides. Anger is one of the most potent emotions we are capable of, and for this reason one of the most dangerous. Yet it has a positive aspect as well. If one is able to dominate one’s anger, this burning emotion can prove immensely useful. Just like fire appears beautiful and warm when we cast it into a chimney or between small rocks, anger is part of our makeup because there are circumstances when having it—and using it wisely—can turn the tables to our advantage.
1. Physical prowess
Anger gives an energy boost and a sense of drive. During an athletic performance, the emotion can endow us with the extra momentum we need just when we need it. This is something I grasped firsthand. While swimming, at the end of an extended race, I would almost automatically think of a person who greatly disrespected me in the past, then feel the extra drive and pulse coming straight from the heart. Likewise, while running the last miles of a marathon, I became angry against the race organizers—for reasons that seem silly in retrospect, but it actually helped me to maintain the proper pace until the end line.
2. Need some heat?
Anger makes us hot, in the proper, physical sense. If you get really angry at something, even if you manage not to express it by words, you will feel a new heat growing into your body, perhaps making you red-faced. This can be useful in any situation when you actually need some heat.
For example, taking cold showers brings a variety of health benefits, including increased energy during the day, more resistance to cold in general and an increased testosterone, but is also really difficult if you are not accustomed to cold water. When I started taking cold showers, I quickly noticed that an extra dose of heat from the inside was necessary to withstand the thermal shock, and started to do some black metal-style singing to help awake the “inner fire.” This is not as silly as it may sound. Black metal-style singing is a surrogate of real anger, and it works even better when associated to real anger on the moment. So, summoning some bad memories and growling about them actually helped me to generate heat when needed and get past the initial thermal shock of cold water.
3. Present threats
When someone is actually threatening you, whether physically or for example by attacking your reputation, anger is a normal and spontaneous answer. The difficulty lies in modulating the externalization of anger as to express it in just the right way.
Sometimes looking at the other guy in the eyes and speaking with a slower, deeper voice does the job. Sometimes doing a coarse joke about a shameful flaw the attacker has is enough to dispel any stain from your reputation. Sometimes you have no other solution than punching hard—and perhaps running straight after. Just like when you are gaming a girl, the key consists in modulating, which implies an awareness of the situation. This is something one gains by experience, and here as always, anger ought to stimulate and perhaps determine what you look at, but ought not to compel you into doing something you might regret later.
4. Improving in arts and sports
Ever been shamed or ridiculed by a teacher, a trainer or some other specific field-related authority telling you that “you will never do [whatever practice] correctly, you lack the potential”? This kind of psychological blow usually results in two types of consequences: either you disengage from said field, feeling that dwelling in it would be a waste of time and energy, or you work twice harder to grow genuine abilities in the field and show the teacher wrong. In the latter case, you are usually angered against the teacher who rejects you and are motivated by the idea of growing such abilities that he will be forced to give you due recognition.
Now, if the teacher is really disagreeable and maintains a harshly critical attitude against his student, simply staying in the course might be an ordeal. But in the end, whether you succeed at obtaining final recognition or not, if you manage to better yourself in the field and/or maintain calm under a heavier pressure, you win.
5. Creativity
Some emotions are good at inspiring works of art. Many of these emotions are not agreeable and compel one into using art as a way to express them without getting (too) obnoxious. A lot of poems deal with inaccessible girls, tragic love stories, and so on. The motivational role of basically negative emotions is implicitly recognized into the dictum “stay hungry, stay foolish”—if you are too content with what you have, you won’t be motivated into having more or better.
Likewise, emotions that can be channeled into drive can also be used to fuel a work of art. How many rappers became so and blamed whatever they were angry at—often, but not only, the police—in their lyrics?
6. In-group solidarity and group longevity
This applies when the anger is not yours alone, but shared by a group of like-minded people you belong to. When shared, anger can fuel solidarity, motivating the like-minded to help each other. The basic condition for this to work is that everyone must remain in agreement on what to be angry at.
Groups that managed to use this feature of anger to survive, as it tightened the social bonding between their members and reduced individualism, might be found amongst the Jews. As the specialist of Judaism Kevin MacDonald put it,
Non-Jews have a difficult time fathoming Jewish communal memory. For strongly identified Jews, the “vilely discriminatory” actions of immigration restrictionists are part of the lachrymose history of the Jewish people. Immigration restriction from 1924–1965 is in the same category as the Roman destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., the marauding Crusaders of the Middle Ages, the horrors of the Inquisition, the evil of the Russian Czar, and the rationally incomprehensible calamity of Nazism. These events are not just images drawn from the dustbin of history. They are deeply felt images and potent motivators of contemporary behavior. (Culture of Critique, p.x)
After all, is there anything better than negative emotions targeting non-members of the group, or a specific enemy group, to maintain the cohesion of one’s group? This trick seems to have been (perhaps subconsciously) used by Jews since long ago.
7. Politics
Shared anger works well in politics too. A dictum says that politics are mostly fueled by greed and envy, which might be a bit simplistic but certainly not far from the truth. During the eighteenth century, the English Whig party already had the upper hand over its Tory counterpart, and the Whigs were way more prone to political anger: they easily accused the Tories of being “traitorous,” “antipatriotic” or “against liberty”—which was one of their main totem poles—whereas the latter tended to submit or negotiate. Today, one can notice the same phenomenon, as the self-righteous cultural Left always pushes its agenda farther while the conservative establishment keeps bowing as long as its own income keeps coming.
SJWs are the prime users of political anger and self-righteousness. They will do anything out of mob mentality and hatred against “straight white males.” Notice in passing the Left’s double standard: for decades, it stirred anger at selected audiences—workers through “class struggle” and “class oppression,” later so-called “minorities” through identity politics—by constantly repeating a narrative where said audiences happen to be unfairly oppressed, but attack us if we show the least sign of anger.
8. Memories
Memories that are associated with anger tend to remain alive much longer than emotionally neutral ones. This feature of the human mind is used by groups that maintain a collective identity through a narrative where they play the role of a formerly persecuted minority. Their memories, even if more constructed than genuine, remain alive for a very long time, and can do so for centuries.
Men of ability who keep resenting their past tend to both remember it fondly and derive from said memory a constant sense of drive to succeed more and more. In a sense, traumatic, angering memories may show useful, whether we extract valuable lessons or maintain a sense of drive out of them: whoever has them might be advantaged, but should also be wary of not ending up consumed by them.
Conclusion
As disagreeable as it may be, anger is also a source of motivation, drive, and physical heat. If sublimated and channeled appropriately, it can give us exactly what we need to succeed. If shared, it can help to bond and express solidarity with like-minded fellows. Alas, if it overflows beyond the borders of publicly acceptable behavior or over petty objects, anger can also backfire and burn us more than anyone or anything else.
The double-edged nature of anger has long been used against us. The “far right” is basically nothing else than a Leftist labeling, used to finger point specific people, views, facts… as deserving public condemnation without reflection. For long, whites have been fleeing and bowing when they were threatened by labels such as “far righters,” “racists” and so on, out of fear to be the next victims of SJW anger and other whites’ cowardice. Conversely, the Left that uses SJW and “minority” anger against us loves to provoke us into getting publicly angry in order to represent us as negative and obnoxious.
It is time for us to outsmart whoever wants us shattered by making an intelligent use of our emotions. This applies both to our individual, personal lives, and to pan-masculine and pan-European solidarity. It is okay, fair, and even necessary to be at least minimally angry at the present world order. The pseudo-wise withdrawal from the world is often not much more than a legitimization of cowardice.
As long as neomasculinity does not have the upper hand, long live the “angry white male”! Just be careful to remain on top of your anger, as a rider on his horse, and never the opposite: if you don’t master your own anger, someone else will, and he will quickly turn it against you.

I’m amazed that Roosh allows some of these articles to be published.
amazed or angry?
I see what you did there.
This is one of a small handful of free speech sites. He does a great job.
Why ?! Why a picture of French leftist prime gnome-minister Valls’s demonic red face in the middle of this Rok article ? Triggered.
Well, he is an angry little man, isn’t he? I can’t remember watching any of his televised speeches in which his forehead veins didn’t protrude and the shrills didn’t overcome his voice…
It’s actually a good contrast to cuckmaster Hollande.
Edit: http://www.journaldugeek.com/files/2014/01/manuel-valls.jpg
They could indeed do a great comical duet.
Oh, those 2 are regretfully destined for
tragedy… Nevertheless, they have potential, I suppose.
I am curious, how do you think the french political scene will evolve after the Brexit? Is Le Pen finally going to win any elections at all?
How do you feel about Alain Soral?
He’s a great speaker, very charismatic, and his blog is very useful, sometimes revealing some truths, and linking to very talented people. He also said some red pill truths about women in his books. But that stops there.
He’s a narcissistic diva, with an obscure past (apparently was a communist, skipped the draft, then spent a lot of time frequenting the fashion gay parisian jet set) who has built a completely fake character of manly Frenchman for himself.
He made a buisness out of conspiracy theories and became very rich, and while even I believed I some point that he could be dangerous to the establishment, he now belongs to the statu quo, and will stay there, with his news site, his publishing house, and his videos in which he keeps saying that he was right all along and that he’s super manly, and that the jooes rule the world etc. The all point of his movement was to provide him a retirement fund, I strongly suspect.
I don’t see it happening, a lot of leftists and cucks in power have warned that they won’t let it happen in the name of “the values of the republic”.
There is also the truth that Marine Le Pen is just a diva surrounded by fags, freemasons and cucks.
So there is the possibility that the party will have finished ( the process is already well underway ) morphing into a second Republican Party when it comes to power, if it does, and won’t do any major change.
But if it happens it will be a nice mayhem. All these radical leftists currently rioting in French big cities won’t have disapeared by 2017.
The Algerian and Moroccan minorities who riot everytime there is a football game will still be there and probably won’t stay quiet.
It will be an exciting time.
Front National will destroy all the other parties. Remember that during the last election they got over 40 opercent of the vote and the commies and conservatives had to team up and told their voters how to vote simply to stop FN.
The whole (((post 1945 world order))) is basically over.
Now comes the clean up. I cant wait for the civil unrest and reprisals.
FN will sweep. Mark my words.
Guillaume Faye is better I think
http://www.counter-currents.com/tag/guillaume-faye/
Sadly the FN is not held by J-M Le pen anymore, the ex paratrooper, war vet from Algeria. He would have swept the scum into oblivion, no doubt. Now it’s run by his least intelligent daughter, a female lawyer who betrayed her own father and only listen to her faggy grey emminence Philippot.
Franch leftist and jews? nah
But good work using black guys to indicate threats
It is unfortunately a true representation of reality. If you are a white guy you will be on the receiving end of many hate stares from groups of ghetto “youths” if you ever happen to be in the poor section of town or accidently cross their paths. They hate white people with a white (irony) hot passion. You will be hated, and if they out number you, they will threaten you.
Jews ?????????? Niggas ???????? leftists ??????? WTF
And the usually modern symbol of creativity – splashing colorful paint all over.
This article is gay!
If you find yourself angry at things you cannot control, focus that passion into improving your own life.
What the hell did I just read….
don’t shoot up a school. Head down to the gym instead
Aren’t there less people in the gym though?
haha
Yes, but if it’s in a black neighborhood there will probably be more dindus there. KFC’s are good targets as well
I thought the pic under #3 was BellBivDevoe for a second
“never trust a big butt and a smile.” words to live by
Caaaan’t get it out of my miiiiind, your shoes cost 14.99
Hmm, didn’t read the whole thing but I do have to point out that being known to have a temper is not universally bad lol.
People tread lightly around me because they know I don’t just bark, I bite.
That said I do think there is a big difference between someone of sound mind getting angry about something justly, and some over emotional asshole getting “triggered”.
What about individuals such as myself who enjoy the rage inducing moments?
We should just bring back the viking raids or we start an ROK fight club.
Viking raids, definitely.
I’m with you 🙂 let’s start loading the long boats and sharpening the axes fellows! Victory or Valhalla, by the beard of Odin!
Some quotes of yours.
“Anyway I am pro Israel, and militantly so. The IDF is a unit worth knowing and fighting with”
“Who gives a fuck about the shit you say, have you ever had anything to do with he IDF? No? Well I have, plenty, and I can guarantee that they make the US army look like a band of fags and queers in comparison.”
“People attack me for being pro Israel lol, no other country is willing and able and actively fighting these fuckers.
I volunteer my time to help them, and I’m going to continue doing so as long as there is a heartbeat in me.”
That’s not a Viking.
So to you a Viking is someone sitting in the corner jerking off?
Heh good thing we don’t give a fuck about random shithead opinions.
Your soggy antisemite shit doesn’t really get much traction I’m guessing?
Anyway if you want to check how Viking I am hit me up when your here in NL. I’ll show you from where the chickens piss ;-).
Vikings fought for their people and their survival. Not crusading against so called ‘anti Semitism’.
It leads me to believe you are either a fraud or a fool who slaves for a foreign group that despises you.
Thor* god of thunder, let me die with a sword in my hand.
You obviously don’t know shit. Vikings fought for whatever reason was good, not for fucking survival or their people you twat.
You are so stupid the guild of idiots must be embarrassed. You assume I’ve “slaved” for something just because it fits your shitty little bird brain. Well guess what I’ve never slaved for anything and never will.
Any good fight is a good fight. But you’re too much of a pussy to get that obviously.
Thank you for the confirmation. You severely lack credibility and I would hope forum user’s can discern your deceptiveness.
Thor is the god of thunder, for Odin’s sake.
Whoops. You got me there. How stupid of me. I must have been thinking of something else. Ugh. I deserve to have the Niddhogg devour me for that.
Hehe its cathartic to flip out completely every once in a while. Just go completely berserk and fuck something or someone up.
After it, I usually feel some strange almost zen like harmonious calm…
One of the greatest joys for myself is putting on a metal cd and wrecking everything in sight.
I have always measured myself against my Viking ancestors and before I was up for a family I fought every time I could hehehe…
Now I have the rep and scars to make my case without fighting, and I have a family now too.
But letting out steam is always beneficial 🙂

9. Motivating one to go out and vote Brexit after being called a bigot and stupid by euro cucks!
Nothing says Democracy like a clearly worded question on a ballot box.
Of course the elites and their SJW muppets don’t like it..
Next the Continent!
Hmmm… an interesting article… I don’t like how #3 of a group of young black men and #6 of how Jews are explained. Kind of OFFENSIVE in the “bad way” makes me ANGRY lol. Very condescending; not cool.
But seriously, smh… am I as a young black men perceived as a “threat” to the audience: white men? lol As FOR ME I’m not after “white women” or any destruction of society.
lol What’s with this “disguised fear” (some) white men may have as though “black men” are out to get them by getting the white women? I can understand the “concern” but what’s the hopeful outcome of it all?
The Jewish people have it hard especially now in this very ANTI-CHRIST society and world. The Jews are GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE ISRAEL and God’s Coming back from them to be saved through the Jewish Messiah, JESUS CHRIST.

Bro. Jed
Well, I think the picture of the black men(boys more like) is playing on what has become quite common with black guys. Thuggish attitudes.
If I am walking somewhere and I see some gangsta style dressed guys who look like hood rats hanging out on a corner, I am justified in being prepared for some kind of shit because that’s likely to come from shitbags like that.
If I see some well dressed white guys standing around I don’t have the same reaction because I have had no experience of being harassed or robbed by well dressed white guys.
The weird thing is that where I live, the NL, 70% of black guys dress and act like hood rats. 70% of black women dress like two bit hookers too.
The thing is, I don’t think any differently if a well dressed and mannered black guy than of a white guy, but they are less common than the thug types.
Yeah, I get where you’re coming from…
(Note: I called those young black boys “young men” in the picture to foster and stand for positive uplifting. I call all young boys “young men” because if you give them the courteous expression of calling “boys” “young men” they often carry themselves as young men. It’s never too early to start training boys into growing up to be MEN…)
On the other hand, just because a black man may be wearing “thuggish gangsta clothes” doesn’t mean he’s gonna jump you; though I understand your real life experience concerns… More so most of the time it’s just the “black culture” conformity tribal mindset than it is actual “out to get you” mindset; but you’re right about thuggish black dudes. I don’t “hang” around them either.
I agree with most of what you’re saying but as a CHRISTIAN; I have to GO BEYOND the OUTER APPEARANCE and not “give in” to a “spirit of fear” and assuming the worst than REFRAMING for the positive outcomes.
I get along well with anyone I have to. Amen.
~Sincerely,
Bro. Jed
Your comment in terms of religion doesn’t make sense (although you’re right about #3, to an extent). If Jesus is the messiah (which Christians believe him to be), than the Jews can’t be God’s chosen people since they haven’t embraced Christ as the messiah.
Hello jz95. Hope you’re doing fine in life…
“If Jesus is the messiah (which Christians believe him to be), than the Jews can’t be God’s chosen people since they haven’t embraced Christ as the messiah.”
Amen. That’s for making this comment. For clarification, yes, Lord Jesus Christ is in FACT the Jewish Messiah that all believers namely called “Christians” and of the Jewish born again believers who usually call themselves “Messianic Jews” believe in.
Now the natural Jews” after the physical flesh are NOT of the ISRAEL of God which is by FAITH on the SON, LORD JESUS CHRIST; *ALTHOUGH* the natural Jews are of the seed of Israeli patriarch Abraham and are of God’s Covenant with Abraham. That’s why the Jewish people are blessed and favoured in this world and have been the subject of hate, envy, jealousy and resentment since the beginning of early human history to this time. God’s generational blessings on the Jewish people have blessed and prospered them in any work or ambition the Jewish people have done which is how there are many powerful Jewish people in Hollywood, in government and politics called “Zionists” and the like…
Yeah, many Jewish people today have rejected or ignored the actual Jewish Messiah Who is JESUS CHRIST Who died for them and all the people of the world on the Cross at Calvary. Unfortunately, since many Jewish people still errantly believe that the Jewish Messiah has not come yet; many Jewish people will be deceived by the Devil, SATAN, in the form of the coming New World Order (N.W.O.) dictator the ANTICHRIST…
Here’s a good article on “If the Jewish people are God’s People” I think you should consider; (if you’re serious for a good answer that is): http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Believer's%20Corner/Doctrines/gods_people.htm
_______________
Also, as you’ve made mention of many Jewish people not being believers, I’m compelled to ask you: “Do you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God?”
I hope you do so you are SAVED and FORGIVEN of your SINS. Amen.
Howbeit from your response… I’m getting the sense you may be an (unsaved) unbeliever yourself. Amen.

Bro. Jed
“The difficulty lies in modulating the externalization of anger as to express it in just the ride way.”
The ride way? Haw-haw!
I disagree about the shared anger thing. In fact, I just felt inspired to write an article about that kind of stuff myself, heh. http://manwithoutfather.com/2016/06/25/anger-hypnosis-politics-enrage-us/
I hate collectivism. It is a disease. The moment you need to agree with your group on what to be angry about, you already give up your personal freedom.
Also disagree about the memories thing. Granted, it does seem to be very typical for us to hold on to those things. But I don’t think that it is healthy in the long run. Okay, what does healthy mean, right? I guess do as it suits you, but letting go of anger is very freeing. Ironically, to let it go, you have to learn to truly love it in the first place. I almost dare to say that holding on to anger is caused by not really allowing the anger to yourself fully.
I agree with W. C. Fields,
“I never hold on to a grudge. I get even with the son of a bitch, and then I forget about it.”
number 3; Present threats… now that’s just RACIST !
Anger, the greatest motivator for action ever created. Just don’t let it consume you or it WILL destroy you.
I used to think anger was an emotion that was ‘bad’. How feminist of me, I know. Now I LOVE anger, it burns away all this delusion.
I’m not sure about this. There is an expression: “Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad”
Mad means angry.
So doesn’t this mean if you get angry, you are about to be destroyed?
Also, the expression “losing your cool” – isn’t getting mad a sign that you’ve lost it, are weak, and cannot hold your own under pressure?
It only means you’re about to be destroyed if it was the gods who made you angry.
If it was, say, your wife accidentally burning the house down whilst trying to make pancakes that made you angry then no, you’re not about to be destroyed (but your wife is LOL)
There us a thing called “cold anger”.
Cultivate it – it is incredibly useful.
🙂
Here’s one to get angry about. HIV infections of children in South Africa are almost entirely due to the reuse of needles in clinics, such as are set up and supplied by our do-gooder charities.
White children in South Africa HIV rate: 11%
Black children in South Africa HIV rate: 5.6%
This means of transmission is also responsible for most of the HIV in the old Eastern Bloc and Asia. Needles are many,many times more effective at spreading deadly diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS than sex is – sex accounts for only 1/4 to 1/3 of such infections overall, much less for children. The problem could be solved with needles that cannot be reused, which exist (BD Soloshot) and are not expensive. Yet no one in these charities and aid organizations makes sure that these are used for all injections. Some even oppose their use because junkies will supposedly find it harder to get syringes. There may be some posturing and a trial run or two, but the safe syringes are still hard to get and the unsafe ones are handed out like junk mail. It’s not an accident.
This spread of disease is intentional. No one ever tracks down the clinics that do these infected injections, often of unneeded placebo “vitamins”. No one tells the Aficans and Asians to watch out for unneeded injections or reused needles. In fact, they go further than that:
It is not “virtue signalling” or sporadic ineptitude – one faction or group among these do-gooders doesn’t expose and accuse another, though it would make themselves look more virtuous at the expense of a rival, and these practices continue year after year — such constancy implies a plan, and malice rather than incompetence in sticking to that plan, indeed,
*planned and executed genocide.*
And the most hated target can be seen in those statistics above: White children. (a.k.a. evil racist oppressors, or rednecks, or proles etc.)
That is what is lurking behind the face of every international aid executive and promoter, whether government or NGO. People like the recently killed MP Jo Cox, former head of Oxfam GB, (6,000 employees, Charity of the Year at the 2013 British Muslim Awards). Oxfam’s #2 mission is “demanding that national governments
fulfil their responsibilities for equitable delivery of good quality
health, education, water, and sanitation,” (#1, 3 & 4 all boil down to redistribution of money and power to women, with nods to some random SJW hobbyhorses). Clearly they had reason to know and to respond differently if their goal were anything but genocide.
Be angry at such people. Hate them as they hate you and your people. Avenge the lives of the White children of South Africa. Their murderers are the common enemies of mankind. Destroy them.
When I was younger my brother and I used to spar with sticks and nerf weapons. Then we stopped because I scared the bajeezus outta him.
Somewhere in the scandinavian part of my heritage I swear there is a berserkir.
Anger and hatred are not only good, it is good to know what they are for. They are tools in your affective kit. Used correctly, of great value.
Another good one a lot of people disagree with is the fear of death. It’s a powerful motivator that will make you keep fighting in order to stay alive.
A VERY wise article.
Moderate and modulate, as called upon…but, use it.
🙂
Looking at that picture of those ‘youths’, I come to the sadly funny realization that most middle aged men would look away to ‘avoid trouble’. The reality that they are validating and encouraging more behavior like that by showing weakness and rewarding the aggressors is completely lost on them. Their lives are truly ruled by metaphysical bullshit reasoning rather than logic.
