I decided to pre-empt my planned post for today to discuss the recent mass murder in Pittsburgh. I usually ignore these events, but these posts by Half Sigma and Roissy piqued my interest. Go read them, if you haven’t already. DGL’s annotated version of Sodini’s diary is also worth checking out.

A.J. Travis left this comment at Roissy’s:

No surprise, I disagree with Bhetti and Roissy.

I think every man DOES deserve to get laid.

For every nerdy, smelly, fat, or otherwise socially undesirable man out there, there is an equally unattractive woman walking around. (more than one actually because there are more women than men on the planet)

The problem is, our feminized society has given every woman the power to hold out for higher quality men than they deserve.

This creates an imbalance that leads to tragedies like the one in PA.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Newton’s 3rd Law)

If empowered women keep applying pressure, they will create an explosion.

The concept that men deserve sex from women runs counter to the fundamental concepts of game and the nature of human sexuality. Being a nice guy is not sufficient to get into a girl’s skirt – in fact, nice guys usually end up chasing the chicks away. Sodini spent his life expecting pussy to fall on his lap, and shock of shocks – it never did. If he had spent $20 on a copy of Bang, for instance, his woman problems could have been solved. In this, I agree with Roissy.

But despite my normal revulsion for nice guys, I can’t bring myself to completely condemn Sodini. The man was no Cho Seung-hui. He wasn’t a borderline-autistic headcase who creeped people out easily. In fact, by the standards of fortysomething American men, Sodini was doing quite well for himself. He had a high-paying job as a computer programmer and he was reportedly worth $250,000 – no small sum. I’m not sure when this picture of him was taken, but he’s one of the better-looking 48-year old men I’ve ever seen. The guido tan probably wasn’t winning him any favors, but Sodini was thin and in good shape at an age when most men are nursing a bowling ball belly. By the metrics of public society, Sodini was a successful man in every way, but he still couldn’t get a girl.

Not too long ago, there existed an unwritten contract between men and women in America and the West at large. Men spent their years working at shitty jobs, working their asses off every day and shortening their lifespans, obeying the laws and generally staying on the straight and narrow, and in return, they had guaranteed access to women through the institution of marriage. You think we guys work hard because we have to? You think we do it because we enjoy having our souls sucked out through our assholes? The amount of work a single man needs to perform in order to stay above water is very small indeed – men will only work to get and hold gainful employment if they have women or the opportunity to get them. Most working married men would love to make like Kevin Spacey in American Beauty and quit their nine-to-five gigs to flip burgers, a job that pays poorly but is low on stress. My own father hates and continues to hate his job as a state bureaucrat, but he keeps showing up at the office at 8:30 every morning because his paycheck is necessary to pay the mortgage and feed my mom and kid sisters. As a twentysomething bachelor, my expenses are minimal. I have no credit card debt, I use public transportation to get around most of the time so I only need my car when I need to make a trip outside my immediate area, my vices are inexpensive, and I spend almost nothing to get with women. Aside from paying the rent and student loans, I have little need for money.

If George Sodini had been alive as late as the 1950’s, he would likely have been able to get married in his 20’s to a reasonably attractive woman (6 or 7, possibly an 8) and have children. He would not have spent twenty years in an involuntarily celibate torture, allowing his mind to warp in all sorts of perverted ways. He would have been normal, because the situation that led to his mental abnormality – his inability to get laid – would never have happened. So, according to the sexual contract, A.J. is correct – Sodini deserved to get laid.

The contract between the sexes is no longer valid. The wheels had been in motion for decades prior,  but the motions that destroyed the contract for good occurred in the late 60’s and 70’s. Women were liberated from their contractual obligations by cheap contraception, legalized abortion, no-fault divorce, WIC and welfare for single mothers, punitive child support and alimony payments, sexual harassment laws, and the Violence Against Women Act. And yet, despite giving women the freedom to do as they wish, polite society still holds men to their contractual obligations. We guys are expected to go to college and rack up five-to-six digits worth of debt in order to get a spirit-crushing job in order to be worthy of a woman’s attention. We are expected to pay for dates and save up three months’ worth of pay to buy an overpriced gold ring with a shiny rock on it so our fiancee can brag to her friends. We are expected to blow thousands, possibly tens of thousands of dollars on a wedding plus honeymoon in order to please our soon-to-balloon wives. Even worse, popular culture is engaged in a massive campaign to hide the truth from our eyes. How many movies have been made in which the awkward beta loser gets the girl? In which the guy who stays on the straight and narrow is rewarded for it?

In the past, men who played by the rules won out in the end. No more. Women of all types are spreading their legs exclusively for pick-up artists, cads, players, badboys, and other men whom a healthy society would regard as the scum of the earth. Men like George Sodini who succeed and contribute to society have only their right hands for company, while bottom-feeders are drowning in more vaj then they know what to do with. Is this just? Is this right? I wouldn’t have a problem with this if women were honest about which men they preferred to get their pussies pounded by, but they aren’t. This society is dependent on men like Sodini who put in a honest day’s work and obey the law, and without them, the hypergamous utopia of modern women would dissolve like a condom in Vaseline. This is why our mangina and feminist overlords do everything in their power to keep the betas running on their hamster wheels, all the while tightening the nooses around their necks with ever more punishing laws.

Slowly but surely, the men of this country are realizing that they have been lied to their entire lives. Everyone from the cultural commissars down to their own friends and family has, knowingly and unknowingly, collaborated in this massive deception. I’m fortunate – I stumbled upon the seduction community and the MRA and MGTOW movements at the young age of 19, saving me from a lifetime of running on the hamster wheel. But what about men who spend their twenties, thirties, even forties slaving away only for society to sodomize them with a spiked buttplug? They’ll likely get angry and react in myriad ways.  Some, like myself, will study up on game to gain the upper hand with women. Others will get out of the mating game entirely. Most of them will drop out in some way and expend the minimal effort necessary to stay afloat and accomplish their goals. None of them will go back to busting their butts for no reason. A slim minority of men, such as George Sodini, will flip out, grab their guns, and go on a spree in the nearest public square.

A man like George Sodini, who listened to his cultural elites and followed their dictates to the letter only to get swindled, had no reason to love America. In fact, he had every reason to lash out at the society that screwed him over and make its denizens feel some of the pain that they had inflicted on him. There are millions, tens of millions of men in this country who have been deceived in a similar fashion, and there are numerous Sodinis amongst their ranks who will react violently and murderously once they uncover the truth.

What amuses me is how the women of this country and the West don’t realize the role they have in creating men like Sodini. Go back to that Roissy post and read the comments. Almost all of the women who commented in that thread have zero comprehension of what it is like to be lied to and swindled by a society that cares nothing for your sweat and toil, like Sodini was. Well, ladies, you want to spurn the betas of the world and only get fucked by the cads and jerks who make your loins moist? Fine. But the price you must pay is the risk of having a bullet fired into your brain by unstable lunatics like Sodini. And this doesn’t cover the millions more men who will dump their chivalrous pretensions and disrespect you in a thousand tiny ways, like letting doors slam in your face. You could stop this madness tomorrow by refusing to follow your vaginas straight into the arms of scumbags, and actually live up to your claims of wanting nice guys – but I doubt you will. You’ve made your bed, ladies – now sleep in it.

The media is now denouncing Sodini as a monster, which he is, but he is a monster that could only be spawned by a monstrous society. The sort of society that could send a hardworking, honest man down the path of insane, murderous rage is not only a society that will not survive, but doesn’t deserve to. Men of the West who are reading this, know that your society is out to fuck you over in a million different ways. You have no reason to be loyal to a country or a culture that has no respect for you or your needs. My advice: learn game and give women the sugary poison that will satisfy your needs, while working to get off the grid and living only for yourself and those whom you trust. Your acquiescence to the system is what keeps it alive – refuse to feed the beast and it will starve. Whatever path you choose, you must go your own way in order to secure a future for yourself.

I have been successful both financially and sexually under the current system, but I know that the existing configuration of society is both immoral and unsustainable. The anarchist in me wants to see it all burn – which it will. Trust me, it will.

UPDATE: To clear up confusion, here is part of my response to slumlord explaining my views on entitlement and sex:

Women have no inherent duty to service random men. Under the old contract, men are entitled to sex THROUGH the institution of marriage IF they uphold their duties as hard-working, law-abiding, morally upright citizens. Sex is not guaranteed if the man in question is a bum or a laggard, and is not guaranteed from any women other then the one he is married to. For example, up until about three decades ago, married women were legally required to service their husbands sexually. The link to the NO MA’AM essay in my main post explains this more thoroughly. To answer your question about my sister, IF you were married to her and fulfilling your duties as a husband, then yes, she would be required to service you. This is not a leftist notion at all, but part of capitalism, and is encapsulated in the ethos of the American Dream – if you work hard, you will prosper.

Under the new system, men are entitled to nothing they can’t take through their manly charms. See Roissy in DC or any blog about game. Under the new system, Sodini gets nothing and deserves nothing. Under the old system, Sodini gets, if not married, at least the opportunity to be married, because he excelled under the rules of the old system. I would think that having a high-paying job and being worth $250,000 would entitle him to “the fair maiden” under the rules of the contract.

The conflict here is that women are no longer obligated to fulfill their duties under the contract but men still are, because men who hold to their end of the contract are necessary to keep the economy going. This is what I find to be unjust. I would ideally like to see a return to the old system, as it sustained Western civilization for the longest time, but I would be satisfied if public society would allow men to drop their burden under the old contract. That won’t happen for reasons I’ve already stated.

I’m not holding Sodini up as a hero or someone to be emulated like some other people I’ve been reading. He was a nutcase who deserves to be scorned for what he did. That said, the greater sociosexual issues that dragged him that down that road cannot be ignored. Rage killings are a staple of our modern society – they almost never happened pre-1965. And gender-motivated rage killings DEFINITELY never occurred. Incidents like this are emblematic of deeper problems within our culture.
