Came across another good substack today on my internet travels:

We trapped these kids in an ideological straight jacket against which they were not allowed to resist. Against which resisting made them evil. Then we gasped in horror when they aged out of our stewardship and decided that, actually, they’d had rather enough of all that.
Not to be hyperbolic, but what we did to these guys was something like abuse. What we did to their childhoods was something like theft. And we would have no trouble - none at all - understanding that if it had been any other group on the receiving end. We caused them to come of age in a world that hated and blamed them, and that never missed an opportunity to remind them of just how much.
10 years. For 10 years, we did this.
We also ruthlessly punished any liberal voices that dared extend them comfort or encouragement. Thus ensuring that the only supportive voices they could hear from were the toxic ones who’d made “cancel-proof” edge-lording their whole brand.
I know this is a bit long, but I think it is very good.
I like a lot of what he is saying, but something about this really rubs me wrong:
2015 is just when the word "Woke" entered common parlance. It had been going on forever before that, under multiple labels and names. "Woke" was literally people repurposing their own word to mock them, much like Snowflake before it, as they used it relatively often to be "woke to the problem of microaggressions" or some other. For a brief period it was "Intersectionality" which was the time when feminists, negroes and gays realized they hated White Men more than each other and combined forces under the Leftie umbrella.
I've talked before about it, but in my public school decades ago we would have regularly scheduled White Guilt months in Feb/Nov for angry black and Indian dudes to come in and talk about how evil we were for what we did to their ancestors. We'd do little assignments and projects basically cementing it into our brains and apologizing for it all. This wasn't optional, they didn't send home permission slips to attend, it was part of the curriculum and every class would attend. I became an adult significantly before 2015 and I knew at that time that the world hated me for everything I was, and expected me to grovel for existing.
This has been happening for a lot longer than he or really anyone gives it credit for, and its very important to recognize that longevity both in how deep it goes but also in how long it took for people to finally resist. If Trump hadn't won in 2016 and TDS didn't make them turn everything up to 11 in a frothing rage, they'd likely have kept the much more subdued and insidious plan going until it was actually too late for any choices or resistance to matter.
For sure. Prior to woke we were calling them SJWs for years. Prior to that we still knew they were faggots.
They were 'political correctness' and 'PC culture' before that, which goes back to the 70s and 80s, until that term was used to mock them so much they abandoned it.
On that note, I'm tired of conceding language.
They'll always conjure up new words and phrases to disseminate their ideas and we'll always use them to mock and deride That much is a given.
But when they latch onto commonly understood words or our particular parlance to twist and corrupt it, we need to hold onto it much tighter than we have done recently. It's all bold words but soft lines.
that's their holy grail. every chance they get they try to replace common words with themselves, effectively gaslighting the world. for a recent example, look at their insistent use of "democracy" during the Biden administration.
Or their redefinition of racism, conflation of religion and race, redefinition of indigenous (this one is at least being fought hard currently), biological realities... the list is endless. All of them paired with appeals to authority as they get pushed by NGOs and other politically adjacent organisations. Perniciously peddled with a religious zeal and fervor. Couched in academic language to appear erudite and a result of balanced thought or consensus, with 15 pages of context and poor rationalisations to disarm and dissuade those that look beyond the phrase they've coined or the term they've redefined.
They have a serious issue with things like right wing populism because it is a direct competitor to what they do. They're reliant on being able to sway people with charisma and clout so that they don't look beyond the face of it. Any cursory look behind the curtain and the house of cards crumbles, so they fracture and expel those that peek. There's a not too dissimilar thing happening now with the current splitting on the right. That's whatever to be honest, just par for the course. Using it to clear the deck of rot and corruption to start building on a solid moral foundation again is what we should be using right wing populism for. MAGA won and, in their euphoria, everybody forgot the game is much larger and much longer than that one victory.
It was definitely ingrained in our government since the 70s.

And before that communists, Marxists, and various other things.
Yeah it’s just Jews
sloppy job Mossad
Yeah, 2013ish was GG, and that wasn't even the first instance. And that was already the kickback to an existing problem since had been ramping up since the mid-late 00's. Really, it was all going downhill ever since we imported the communists and Nazis back in the '40s, and even before that, since we already had sympathizers.
It's been around century at least of the long march through the institutions. Saying this started in 2015 is indeed preposterous.
society has been infected since the french revolution started (and is still happening this very second)
Then you weren't paying attention. They went mask off in 2008 when Obama being in office meant any opposition to their policies was just racism.
I remember my dad, White american, said when he went to college in the 1980s that people would just call him racist to shut him up.
Back then, it didn't feel like you had to pay attention. Politics wasn't such an incessant part of everyday life. Normies could just tune out. During Obama's second term it became harder and harder to do that.
I mean...Days of Rage. The left and their ideology ebbs and flows. They've been an issue since long before the 2010s. GG couldn't have been a pushback against that if it hadn't already been an existing issue.
It depends on what deep end you consider the breaking point.
I was a MRA for a long time, we hit peak feminism sometimes in the mid 00s and that was years after going off the deepend on that front. Someone could say Rodney King was the tipping point for their anti-nigger stances.
The later Obama years was when they finally felt comfortable enough as an Intersectional whole to leave the shadows and stop operating as puppetmasters and could just outright act in your face.
I remember seeing "Ron Paul 2008" everywhere on the internet and in real life. YouTube comments, bumper stickers, laptop cases, in restrooms even. If elections weren't ratfuckedly rigged at every level, I was convinced Paul was going to sweep '08 with how popular he seemed.
It's a long, continuing march; but they really ramped things up between welfare programs and the sexual revolution.
Don't forget sjw.
I picked up on these inconsistencies in behavior from a young age and they gnawed at me as I got older. After getting derided for being the best in my grade academically and refusing to say women are better than men I realized it was all a scam. I was probably 12. This was before 2010
Yeah I was picking up problems with it in middle school myself, though I was certainly too scared to speak up on a lot of the problems, sans the gender one. Plus there was that youthful ignorance of "let people do their thing" regarding a lot of it.
Which is why I take a lot of issue with people acting like "omg, how could we have known it would get this bad? I voted for Obama three times but like I'm so totes on your side now!" It was obvious to a retarded little swamp boy who'd never even been to a city, how could anyone not figure it out?
Go watch a kids cartoon from the early 90's. Captain planet is a good example of totally over the top overt propaganda.
That is a great one, and its also a great example of how the shift happened from "positive indoctrination," as Captain Planet was generally fighting totally unrelateable villains whose evil was laughable over the top, to the modern form where its meant to say "this is you and you are evil!!" in many of their characters.
Which is likely why it feels to many like it just started, because its easier to recognize when its cruel.
The notable thing is that the Republicans and Trump don't even explicitly court or acknowledge the discrimination & the plight of the young White men.
They might mock the ideology of their woke ID pol opponents. But they are still too cowardly to advocate for Whites or young males as neglected & oppressed voting blocs.
well if you court male voters always painting yourself as a victim isnt a good strategy even if its true. Better to just mobilize that build up spite against the opposition. Men rather want a target they can attack, while women love the victim role more, thats also why they love crime drama with female victims and serial killers.
Yeah, that's been a major issue with men's issues for the longest time.
The guys who want you to pity them and be taken care of are the biggest losers that nobody wants to associate with, while the actual men of value who are being held back barely want their suffering to be acknowledged and just want to be left alone to succeed on their own merits.
So in a way, not acknowledging it directly while simply removing the problem likely is the most effective way of fixing it, even if it lacks the feeling of justice being accomplished.
With due respect, this is putting the cart way before the horse.
These "fascist" MAGA politicians are still too afraid to actually utter words like "White" & "male" in an affirmative context.
And the above comments are already worried about leaders even acknowledging the elephant in the room problem goes against "muh stoicism".
Its not about stoicism, its about condescension. Grown men generally do not enjoy being treated like a poor victimized little thing, and will be less likely to go along with someone who treats them as such. Its why rape and domestic violence against men will never be given the daylight it deserves, no matter how much people harp and try to destigmatize it.
I don't need Trump to validate me or my struggles, I just need him to remove the obstacles that I cannot myself.
I understand your personal rationalization.
But this still comes off as "Trust the plan" cope.
Its not trusting the plan, I doubt they've thought about it in such ways.
I'm just not going to get upset about something I don't want in the first place, because I don't see it as helpful nor productive.
And when we finally do get someone to represent us, they aren't going to know what hit them. It's coming soon, one day...
A very good write up. Leftists don’t realize what’s potentially coming in the future. It’s going to get very ugly for everyone if the global cabal can’t get their total surveillance state installed in time. Heck, it may not even matter if they can.
Unfortunately the global media is still on their side which means the vast majority of humanity (roughly everyone sub-85th percentile or so) will readily Do What Screen Says
I worry that they will get their total surveillance state installed and then it will just become a game of hot potato for who gets to use it to abuse me. The far left will use it to demonize me in much the same fashion it has been for the past decade or so, whereas the right will roll the clock back to the 80s and 90s and it'll just be the old flavor of moral busybody fucking with me. I don't want either side having that kind of control frankly.
I'm hoping for a victory of the very farthest left truth be told, as they're most likely to end up destroying it all either through sheer incompetence, infighting, or a revolt of the radical anarchist fringe.
Only after they murder a couple hundred million of us. You sure you want to roll those dice?
Also from the same article from the comment section.
What's the only cause of death more common in women?
Breast cancer? Childbirth? Dementia & old age?
Literally dying from the ick
Quick check of the stats to confirm from here;
https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender
Largely because it's hard to get more than the top 10 + other from anything more official.
And the answer is strokes, more women die from strokes than men. Stroke is a heavily old-person skewed health problem, and there's no particular reason for more women dying from them other than the fact they're outliving men much more often to reach the "dying from a stroke" danger age.
That said...
So for a given age, more women have been increasing their stroke risk as it's been widely adopted.
Note that HRT has the same effect, so MtF have 2.8x the stroke risk of a normal man.
Ovarian cancer.
And the troons are trying to wrangle that back.
THE PATRIARCHY SIMPLY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
And yet they were, so here we are.
Considering the latter are provably true...
To twist a phrase, "Your condemnation means nothing, for I have seen what your ideology supports."
There's nothing quite like a "Hans, are we the baddies?" moment of realisation surfacing.
But, as Adamrises has already pointed out, this is just a brief lull in their momentum before they push on once again with a slightly different logo or brand.
I don't know exactly when or how it happened, cathode ray nipple or village idiots collectivising due to the Internet, but this hatred of daddy has outlived him. The daddy now is them, and boy-o-boy what a terrible father they have been.
They might moan about the housing market and whatever else they can think of that still stands after their attacks. But what have they built? What example have they set for their offspring to model themselves upon?
Rigour, character and success is the way forward. That's how we progress.
Saying otherwise means you don't understand what they jungle has in its shadows always waiting. And the jungle has been waiting a long time now.
They won't learn. Their takeaway is "go harder on White Men" because that's all they've got and doubling down is all they know how to do.
Cool cool. But is he going to speak out against immigrants? Is he going to write an "It's OK To Be White" article? Without looking through the rest of his stuff, I highly doubt it. These "now you fucked up" internet tough guys quietly go back to voting blue no matter who when they realize what change would entail. See: James Lindsay and the rest of the IDW.
"All you had to do was empathize with the straight white male"
Or, to be more direct: Their conditioning broke their children.
Your job as a dad is to protect them from this shit.
“Having white children is racist, goy.”
Never read this quip before. From another posted article in the comment section.
Guy made the fatal mistake of assuming men and women are equal. Women can't handle banter, and they will piss and moan about it every time they invade a male space.
I think you'll find the threads go all the way back to the 1948 UN declaration of human rights for it to be formalised. And a lot further back informally.
Kalergi plan and before even.
