Whats with this 'warrior' thing?

Beta males like to LARP it makes them feel masculine. Yes the original idea of the Red Pill was to get them to stop LARPing.

However they never stoped LARPING. Whenever you call them out on LARPing as James Bond, they'll start LARPing as Entrepreneurs and then after that a warriors.

The only solution is to demand the posting of gains because gains can't be Larped. Once you have them cornered you can expect extreme mental gymnastics as to why lifting is the first rule of trp yet they look like shit.

You're taking it literally. It means that society emasculates us whilst we're growing up and having masculine behaviors i.e (Fighting, risk taking, confidence) is punished and vice versa with feminine behaviors. Western men are stripped from their masculinity is what they're saying.

The way you put it sounds pretty gay, but the general idea that modern society restricts men from becoming what they are supposed to be is true. The warrior aspect of masculinity that represents aggression, stoicism, discipline, courage, decisiveness, etc is the most repressed by the modern world. Today society wants us men to be docile, confused consumers controlled by our emotions and ashamed of our own existence. All while limiting our warrior energy to fantasy realms like sports or videogames. Of course there is more to being a man than being a warrior, but It’s good for a man to embody some amount of that energy. Obviously dressing up like Master Chief irl isn’t what I’m talking about.

It likely just came from mythological archetypes. There’s a fairly decent book that examines masculine archetypes in literature, and why/how they’re useful to consider - “King, Warrior, Magician, Lover”.

I doubt the people parroting “we are warriors” are doing so in direct reference to mythological archetypes though, but it’s likely where it came from I’d guess.

Look up Ernst Junger(the most decorated soldier of WW1), particularly in his youth, read his Storm of Steel. Read about young Napoleon, his memoirs. Then come back and tell me how much you deadlift or how many numbers you got last night.

People saying they are warriors or alphas only proves the opposite. Often these guys want to be seen in a particular way, they use social media to project an image and convince themselves that they are masculine enough(the irony) . But it only has short term effect until they face real life when an effemenate politician has more real power than a warrior with a six pack and 10k followers on IG.

It's about having direction and principles, aka FRAME.

Bear-With-Bit · 2019-09-25T14:45:37+00:00

But I really am a warrior. I battle every day to get to Planet Fitness.

"Warrior" doesn't mean "badass". It literally means someone who fights a war.

Most of them aren't badasses. They are lemmings, they are too stupid, untalented, naive, or just plain unlucky to avoid being used as a blunt instrument for someone else's cause. And they die like sheep, or come home broken and can't get fixed.

Moreover, fighting wars doesn't even make you a badass. It just tests if you already are.

Think about it. Think about this example:

I am an engineer. I've been an engineer for sixteen fucking years. Five days a week. If that makes you think I must be pretty good at engineering, you'd be wrong... I'm fucking amazing at engineering.

But why was I able to do it five days a week for sixteen years? Because engineering, as an activity, carries a 0.0% percent chance of fucking dying, that's why. If you fought in armed conflicts five days a week, eight hours a day, for sixteen years, you'd be... well, dead. So people who fight, actually fight, haven't fought enough to learn all that much from the actual fighting. There wasn't enough of it. If there was, they would eventually have gotten unlucky, and be dead now.

No, if they can do badass shit, it's because they fucking trained. The only thing anyone ever learned from fighting for his life is "here is some shit that I saw that I should probably incorporate into my training if I am lucky enough to live through today".

So don't call yourself a warrior, because you aren't one. And don't go become one, because they are disposable and get the shit end of life. Instead, if you admire the things about them that are positive, seek out training and learn those things.

How I see it... men are supposed to be warriors.

If you're not a warrior, what are you? The tribe slut getting gang-banged by her brothers and uncles?

Sqtlol · 2019-09-25T12:58:02+00:00

The problem is that most of the material posted here nowadays is drawn to extremes, and a lot of people here take these extremes VERY literal. You read about how a womans biological instinct pulls her towards the leader of the tribe, how you need to be a strong warrior caveman etc, but what most people fail to interpret is the modern spectrum of being «the strongest caveman»

High SMV, income, status, game, confidence and abundance mentality are all examples of modern societies way of filtering males. Being Redpilled does not mean you have to shout the loudest, being able to strangle just about anyone with your bare hands or any of that nonsense - it is about being in charge of yourself and always continuing to improve oneself.

Take a fictional character for example: Hank Moody from Californication. For some considered the living embodiment of an alpha male.

Hank Moody isn’t a «warrior». Hank Moody would probably be dead within the week in any given cavemen tribe. Hank Moody isn’t physically intimidating, nor does he try to be.

What traits Hank Moody possesses: - Assertive (in his own ways, albeit) - Confident - IDGAF attitude, doesn’t care about anyone elses opinions/does his own thing. - Has charm/game - Abundance mentality - Status

Yeah that's super gay. I mean do they even carry a sword everywhere like me, a real blood warrior who has been castrated by modernity? How many Confederate scalps did they take in their past life as a native American? Or how many miles did they row on their Viking vessels? Bunch a fuckin amateurs.

Domebeers · 2019-09-25T17:25:55+00:00

Meh, men are pretty beaten down these days. I don't think male empowerment messages are a bad thing. If that mindset helps them in life, then it is a good mindset, if it doesn't, then it doesn't.

I've not seen this phenomenon myself (on the internet), but I play sports in real life, and in the locker room we go 'Be better, you're a fucking warrior, start acting like it." I mean when I'm coaching I yell that at my players too. Am I indulging in fantasy? Seems like normal motivational tactics to me.

Tip: Wanna be a warrior? Join an army or navy.

It's that simple...

sebastianconcept · 2019-09-25T10:23:28+00:00

If there is a Gender War going on, then there are either warriors or prisoners.

exscionewhuman · 2019-09-25T10:23:27+00:00

Beta, alpha, blah blah, back someone into a corner... back any living thing into a corner... well life do what it do. Warrior is not some new made up idea. We are here from all those times people got backed into a corner.

Sylvester_Sterone · 2019-09-25T13:08:28+00:00

Haven't come across this yet. Sounds like mystical internet BS though.

dgd_mobius_centurion · 2019-09-25T15:48:41+00:00

It is not uncommon for many circles to compare their struggle to that of a warrior. In Christianity, we are told to "put on the full armor of God." Not literally, but building resilience to whatever comes at your life.

YouWannaPutMoneyOnIt · 2019-09-25T16:08:03+00:00

Is the warrior king not the archetype we’re all after? It’s not that far off. Read the koans and scriptures the samurai would read and you probably wouldn’t even be in this sub lol

aWorldBornDead · 2019-09-25T17:37:25+00:00

They saw that episode of Banshee where that guy goes "I am a warrior."

genital-love · 2019-09-25T07:49:21+00:00

prolly something they saw on youtube, dw ab it

Ohboohoolittlegirl · 2019-09-25T09:25:14+00:00

Guys trying to convince themselves they are more masculine than they are and trying to play a victim card of society. Ignore people stretching and reaching for such things. Easier to blame someone else than taking your responsibility

Couer_De_Lion · 2019-09-25T10:19:58+00:00

Big overlap with what used to be the “alt right”, the current trend in those circles is a kind of return to the land steppe warrior cult like ethos, basically get big and bully nerds.

My second favorite Red Pill saying, after "Spinning plates is a rational response to open hypergamy" is "Women don't care about the struggle, they hang out at the finish line and fuck the winners."

Sport is ritualized combat. That's really obvious in combat sports, very obvious in football....and very obvious in non-contact modes, like chess (not that chess is a sport, let's not get too pedantic).

A warrior mentality is a winning mentality. Done correctly, anyway.

The shit about lifting and TRP is endlessly annoying. If an average frustrated chump lifts enough to get to college athlete level, he's going to be way more capable of fighting, and way more attractive to women.
