(MGTOW version of "This is John Galt speaking")

I have taken it over. You were to hear a report on the marriage, and by extension the world crisis. That is what you are going to hear.

For years, you have been asking: What is MGTOW? Here before you is the man. I am the man who loves his life, who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are perishing -- you who dread logic -- I am the man who will now tell you.

You have heard it said that this is an age of toxic masculinity. You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had meaning. You have cried that men's sins are destroying the world and you have cursed masculinity for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of our sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster you yourself created.

In the name of a return to your so called equality, you have sacrificed all those evils, which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed responsibility to the so-called "social justice". You have sacrificed independence to hive mindedness. You have sacrificed reason to feelings. You have sacrificed wealth to want. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed men's happiness to duty.

You have destroyed all that which you held to be evil and achieved all that which you held to be good. Why, then, do you shrink in horror from the sight of the world around you? That world is not the product of your sins; it is the product and the image of your virtues. It is your female ideal brought into reality in its full and final perfection.

You have fought for it, you have dreamed of it, and you have wished it, and I-I am the man who has granted you your wish by walking away.

Your ideal had an implacable enemy, which your code of morality was designed to destroy. It was called Masculinity, I have withdrawn that enemy. I have taken it out of your way and out of your reach. I have removed the source of all those evils you were sacrificing one by one. I have ended your battle. I have stopped your motor. I have deprived your world of a man's wisdom.(In your own terms: Mansplaining)

Men should not live by our mind, you say? I have withdrawn those who do. Logic is Racist, you say? I have withdrawn those whose Logic isn't. There are values higher than the manhood, you say? I have withdrawn those for whom there aren't.

While you were dragging to your sacrificial altars your so-called good men, men of independence, of reason, of wealth, of self-esteem -- I beat you to it, I reached them first. I told them the nature of the game you were playing and the nature of that gynocentric code of yours, which they had been too innocently generous to grasp. I showed them the way to live by another morality-"To go their own way". It is MGTOW that they chose to follow.

All the men who have vanished, the men you hated, yet the workhorse dreaded to lose; it is I who has taken them away from you. Do not attempt to find us. We do not choose to be found. Do not cry that it is our duty to serve you. We do not recognize such duty. Do not cry that you need us. We do not consider need a claim. Do not cry that you own us. You don't. Do not beg us to return. We are on strike, we, the free men.

We are on strike against self-degradation. We are on strike against your creed of undeserving punishments and unrewarded relationships. We are on strike against your dogma that the pursuit of our own happiness is evil. We are on strike against your doctrine that life as a man is guilt.

There is a difference between our strike and all those you've practiced for centuries: our strike consists, not of making demands, but of granting them. We are evil, according to your morality. We have chosen not to harm you any longer. We are useless, according to your economics. We have chosen not to exploit you any longer. We are dangerous and to be shackled, according to your politics. We have chosen not to endanger you, nor to wear the shackles any longer. We are only an illusion, according to your philosophy. We have chosen not to blind you any longer and have left you free to face reality -- the reality you wanted, the world as you see it now, a world without men.

We have granted you everything you demanded of us, we who had always been the givers as it were, but have only now understood it. We have no demands to present to you, no terms of bargain about, no compromise to reach. You have nothing to offer us. We do not need you, just as when you said you need us men as much as a fish needs a bicycle.

Are you now crying: No, this was not what you wanted? A man-less world of ruins was not your goal? You did not want us to leave you? You fat bigots, I know that you've always known what it was that you wanted. But your game is up, because now we know it, too.

Through centuries of scourges and disasters, brought about by your hormones, you have cried that your feelings had been broken, that the scourges were punishment for breaking it, that men were too weak and too selfish to spill all the blood it required. You damned man, you damned existence, you damned this earth, but never dared to question your own.

Your victims took the blame and struggled on, with your curses as reward for their martyrdom-while you went on crying that your womb was noble, but your hypergamous nature was not good enough to sate it. And no one rose to ask the question: Good? -by what standard?

You wanted to know what is MGTOW. I was once the man who has asked that question.

Yes, this is an age of crisis. Yes, you are bearing punishment for your evil. But it is not man who is now on trial and it is not masculinity that will take the blame. It is your genetic code that's through, this time. Your Hypergamy has reached The Wall, the blind alley at the end of its course. And if you wish to go on living, what you now need is not to return to femininity -- you who have never known any -- but to discover it.

You have heard no concepts of morality but the superficial or the social. You have been taught that morality is a code of behavior imposed on you by whim, the whim of your hormones or the whim of society, to serve the Big Government or your own pocket, to please an authority beyond the Senate or else, the next door whore -- but not to serve man life or purpose.

Your pleasure, you have been taught, is to be found in your own immorality, your interests would best be served by evil, and any moral code must be designed for you, but against men, not to further our life, but to drain it.

For centuries, the battle of humanity was fought between those who claimed that your life belongs to the society and those who claimed that it belongs to your wife-- between those who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of the bureaucrats in the state and the women who preached that the good is self-sacrifice for the sake of incompetent women on earth. And no one came to say that your life belongs to you and that the good is to live it.

Both sides agreed that their ideals demands the surrender of your freedom and of your mind, that the feelings and the logical are opposites, that their ideal is not the province of reason, but the province of blind faith and servitude. Both sides agreed that their so-called "clean masculinity" is impossible, that there is no right or wrong in their reasoning -- that in their reason there's no reason for men to be free.

Whatever else they fought about, it was against man's mind that both traditionalist and the feminist have stood united. It was man's mind that all their schemes and systems were intended to despoil and destroy. Now choose to perish or to learn that the anti-men is the collapse of the world.
