There are those that believe that by maintaining the old codes of chivalry, by sacrificing and accommodating feminists, that by not becoming the very thing the feminists say men are, that somehow men will prevail in the end by virtue of being nice.
The problem with niceness, is that it is not a virtue.
Being nice is the easy way out. The cowards way out. The path of least resistance. The path of the mouse, not the man. You may (and the operative word is may, not will) suffer less, but you will also accomplish less. People may like you, especially women, but they will not respect you. They will not love you.
If you are God, the ultimate alpha, than you can indulge in being nice, and still come out o.k., well, after the scourging, the crucifixion, the descent into hell, but after all that, it works out.
I would argue though that Jesus was not nice, in fact he was extremely stern and demanding most of the time. Reading the bible, there is a dissonance between what we are taught about Jesus in church, and perhaps of more concern how we have seen him portrayed on television and movies, and the vastly different man in the book.
There was an interesting post talking about how Jesus used game. I would suggest for any Christians out there, that they should sit down and read the Gospels again and think about whether Jesus is being “nice” or if he is in fact being more traditionally masculine than we have been taught. Jesus never loses frame, and he never loses his composure, and he doesn’t give forgiveness freely, he demands real contrition and he sacrifices himself for a a huge payoff. This is a masculine act, not a feminine one.
I submit that Jesus was not nice.
Some will point out the Golden rule: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. If you see a man being robbed and you are nice to the robber, are you not being cruel and heartless to the victim? If you are friendly and loving to a pimp, are you not in fact encouraging the prostitution? If you are nice to the crime lord, are you not in fact endorsing crime?
For those of you that are Buddhist, I would point out that Siddhartha had to flee the gilded palace that his father had made into a beautiful prison for his son, in order to be enlightened. So to, do most men need to escape the glamor of the prison society has set them into. I would also note that he abandoned his wife and child on his quest for fulfillment and enlightenment.
What did Buddha teach? Forsaking earthy relationships and attachments because they were a trap. Sound familiar? He was the ultimate MGTOW. I suggest that any of the MGTOWers out there when faced with criticism for eschewing traditions and relationships to just tell them you’re Buddhist.
Buddha was not nice.
If you are Muslim, Muhammad was a warrior. He had thirteen wives, concubines and slaves. Muhammad was not nice.
Shiva, even though Kali ultimately dances on his body (and what better depiction of mother nature and women is there than Kali? The goddess nurtures and eats people at the same time), destroys the world and recreates it.
I repeat, that although men have been taught to be nice, it is not a virtue. It is in fact the opposite, it is a vice. An addiction. Something that nice guys can’t help doing, and continue to do, even though it doesn’t get them what they want, like a junkie or gambling addict, they keep doing more of it until it leads them to ruin.
What is the reward men get for being nice? For accommodating feminism, for being a good boy? Here it is (HT: Objectify Chicks), read it in it’s entirety. Read every last word until the full meaning of what our society thinks men are sinks in.
The society that wants you to sacrifice, thinks you are a pig, a dog. An animal that needs to be silenced, not even given the dignity of being able to speak up, but to take their abuse. An animal that they want to geld, so you are more cooperative and docile. Society hates you.
If you are nice, if you are quiet and meek, you are doing what the feminists want, they want you cowed so they can strip the last vestiges of your humanity away from you. They want to take your ability to defend yourself, to take away every last shred of your freedom.
Stop being nice. You’re a collaborator if you are. Men are called monsters, because that is what feminists are afraid of, because the power of men becoming actually men, and not nice docile little pets, is something they cannot overcome, something that they cannot fight and win.
We must become what they are afraid of, in order to overcome their evil and cruelty. We must become cold, their tears must not move us, we must harden our hearts.
Since I have been discussing religion, I am reminded of the story involving the massacre of the Hivites by Simeon and Levi in Genesis 34. Despite Jacobs attempt to resolve things between his tribe and the Hivites, his sons go out and seek retribution.
At the end, Jacob says to his sons after the massacre: “You have brought trouble on me, you have made my name stink among the people of the country . . . . My numbers are few; if they muster against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed . . .”
For most of history, the Jews followed the path of Jacob and accommodated themselves to the societies around them. They were nice essentially and although they suffered hardships, their numbers grew and they survived, but this did not work with the Nazis.
It will not work with the feminists. It has been tried for forty years, and men are vilified more, not less. It is time to realize that niceness is the path to destruction for men, it is time to set that aside and become men, uncompromising and unsympathetic to the weakness and emptiness of our society.
