Intro

Jack’s post, Thus Saith Ye Olde Red Pill Lore (2025/12/15) described how Red Pill wisdom has not just gone mainstream, it has become the new standard for based thought.

Funny timing. I was writing a note in a similar vein and planning on sending it in.  Well, here it is.

On My Disengagement with The Manosphere

I have been away for more than a minute.  The last time I posted here was a full year ago: Why I am “Red Pill” (2025/1/8).  And that was on Jack’s initiative, reposting something I had written ages ago (ca. 2018).

I stopped writing for several reasons:

  • Everything is a doom spiral now.
  • Reacting to current events gets tiring, especially these days.
  • Discussing “Red Pill” concepts all the time is circling the drain, for me at least.
  • I also don’t believe the hyper focus on Red Pill stuff is that great for men, long term.
  • When you read and write all day (as I do), it becomes exhausting to do so as a hobby.

But I’m still here.  Checking in to give my respects to Ye Olde Faithful.  Wishing you all the best~!

On the Blogosphere

Blogs are dead.

There has been a death of long form content, and a decline in both the audience and the demand for it.

WordPress has gone downhill, and requires additional apps to comment or create posts if you aren’t on a desktop. WordPress killed itself with its stupid Jetpack thing. This makes writing or commenting a chore.

Meanwhile, Substack is more popular and simpler, but Substack killed comments and then monetized everything.  The platform lacks commenters because you have to have your own Substack account in order to leave comments. It’s designed to trap more authors and readers into Substack’s microcosm, but it’s not worth the trouble for most readers.

Everything is and has to be monetized now. As a result, most higher quality posts are stuck behind paywalls.  It’s exhausting.  Again, not worth the trouble for most readers.

All interaction and debate has been outsourced to Twitter/X.

No one goes to Twitter/X for long-form content, but ironically, it remains the place where such debates happen.  With responses lost in cyberspace, it’s entirely awkward, hard to track, and totally inappropriate, but yet, here we are.  Maybe that’s exactly what TPTB intended.

On Grifters

In years past, I wrote a few posts criticizing grifters.  Looking back, I think going after grifters was a mistake (outside of theological disputes), because I was wrong about grifters being effective.  In fact, they had an important purpose in the grand scheme of things.  They created a cult following of hungry young men, and brought a broader awareness of Red Pill concepts, thereby cementing these ideas for the next generations. And at this point in time, I’m not a fan of punching anyone who moves people to the Right.

On Churchianity

The church in America has failed its youth in every way imaginable. Everything is the fault of men. They don’t encourage young family formation. They don’t speak out against the cost of housing. They don’t speak out about the lack of job opportunities for youth.  The only message the church offers — whether Catholic, Protestant, Baptist, Presbyterian, or whatever — is, “Young women should go to college and find careers before they get married, and young men can go f_ck themselves with their bare fists.  But magically, they should abstain from sex for a whole decade, and the man should forgive the woman if she is a ran through whore when she decides to settle for him and marry at the post-fertile age of 35.  Oh, and if men use p0rn in the meantime, they are evil.”

How inspiring.  Give me a break from this crass, fake religiosity.  I’m done.

On National Economics and Politics

On the political side, I was NOT wrong about how much of a disaster Trump 2.0 has been.

We celebrated having a Republican back on the porcelain throne after the embarrassing Biden nadir, but Trump has been an utterly disappointing disaster, and I couldn’t imagine being vindicated this badly!

We’ve been flooded with immigrants, the crime rate continues to expand, every product is lower in quality and costlier than it was a few years ago, and it keeps on getting worse.

We expected Trump to curb the inflow of excess immigration.  But in spite of his “Big Beautiful Wall”, and other punitive measures on immigration, etc., the federally subsidized programs for immigrants (including illegals) still exist, and there continues to be a massive influx of both legal and illegal immigrants.

Housing costs have almost doubled since 2016. In some areas, it has gone up even higher than that.  No one can afford a home, and people can barely afford to rent.

There are multiple reasons why.

  • During COVID, a massive wave of New Englanders abandoned their expensive states to live in the South and work remotely from there.
  • Retirees and wealthy people from coastal areas buying up homes in the Midwest and South for rentals.
  • Combine that with companies relocating to more affordable regions.
  • Corporate investors doing the same.

This has radicalized Millennials and Zoomers. They can’t afford homes or to move. They just can’t “stop drinking coffee and find a job” like Boomers could do in the past. There are NO jobs for them. Saving a hundred bucks or so a year does nothing when “starter” homes are over $200,000.

COVID accelerated everything and distanced everyone.  Young people most affected.  The only upside to that horrible time is the surplus time people had to complain on the internet and to consume dissident content.

Then people realized that their loss of opportunity wasn’t a temporary loss from the recessions we keep having. Instead, it’s an Asset Price Inflation combined with systemic replacement by foreign labor.  A total bust for the average man.

Many have come to realize the uncomfortable truth that our system of Capitalism does not ‘work’.

Capitalism / Corporatism has no regard for quality of life, social cohesion, or the welfare of its customers — only the bottom line on corporate profit, all else be d@mned.

The libertine element of Libertarianism actually won, and it’s a f_ck!ng disaster. Gambling has proliferated, along with drug use.  It’s the whole reason why Trump had to label Fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.  What a gaffe!

I think we are going to be experiencing the last days of relatively free speech online. X is already cracking down abroad, and the GOP all but admits they work for foreign states.

It feels like every day is a new level of WTF!?!  And it’s draining.

Welcomed Changes

There have been a few positive cultural changes over the last few years that I did not expect.

Back in 2018, when anything Red Pill literally spelled a Death Knell to anyone espousing it, I could have never predicted the success of the message.

The Red Pill really took off with Gen Zoomer and Gen Alpha on Twitter/X and TikTok, to the point that it’s just common sense with many young men. As a result, the youth have become more Right Radicalized. And people are seeing through most of The Gynocentric Blue Pill / The Matrix™ on their own, thanks to social media, which is why TPTB will heavily restrict it.

Twitter/X has had its ups and downs, and is currently on an arc of censoring via shadow banning and social credit system; but nevertheless, ever since Musk bought it out and removed Leftist censorship, it has opened the floodgates to dissident thought.

Now, the general online Right Wing consensus is further to the Right than ever before.

This has been so problematic for our society-destroying “elites” that they decided to ban TikTok and force the sale of it to — ahem — those beholden to a different foreign actor.

Years ago, when I wrote about Buckley and Con Inc. being a disaster, it was a fringe position. Now it’s an accepted fact for most. Samuel Francis proved to be a prophet yet again.

We are moving closer to a change of political systems — NOT just parties, but systems.  If things progress the way they are going, it will NOT be in favor of The Powers That Be™.

Conclusions

I believe people realize how rigged our system is.  It’s actually getting worse under the current joke of an administration.  No matter who gets elected (like it even matters), some portion of the wealthy elite are rewarded while everything gets worse for the typical average American citizen.

People are waking up to the new reality, and it’s not pretty at all.

  • They realize the purpose of a government and a nation is (supposed) to serve the interests of its collective people as a group (which it doesn’t).
  • They realize that a diverse society (Hello immigrant friendly DIE W0kism!) has low social capital, is NOT cohesive, and doesn’t ‘work’.
  • They realize that our society is built on ideals and social mores that no other society shares (and with good reason).
  • They recognize that every social and political intuition is broken and actively works against them.

OTOH, they also realize that we live in a culture that values property rights, intellectual property rights, crediting those we borrow from (with respect to IP), honesty, and integrity. Everywhere else has a striver culture where you are expected to barter, game everything, and scam for social dominance.

Something has to give.  Something has to break.  Y’all watch now, and you’ll see it happen.  Soon. Very soon, and I’ll cringe when it does.

We’re almost there.
