“Just Lift, Brah!” – The Red Pill as an Extension of the American Dream

That will be the day, when a Commie scum will tell me that "there are not individual solutions to structural problems", ignoring the fact that "not playing the game" is as an individual decision as individual decisions go.

Take your dreams of collectivization back to Saddam's Iraq.

There are no individual solutions to structural problems. Only Chinese circus artists can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, and the vaunted American dream, the ideal by which upward social mobility is available to any American, that life will get better, that progress and material prosperity are inevitable if only one obeys the rules and works hard, has been replaced by a hard and bitter truth. The American dream, we now know, is a lie. It has always been a lie. “It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.” (George Carlin) The truth is, that we will all be sacrificed.

Likewise, the Red Pill is based on the same ideological premises; it is the sexual extension of the “American dream.” Founded upon the same rootless individualism, it offers a concordant philosophy. The demand to work hard equals the request to lift hard, and the think-positive mantra is complemented by the phantom of an alpha male mentality. Furthermore, both ideologemes are based on the just-world-fallacy: the idea that the wretched of the earth only have themselves to blame. If everyone can “make it” simply by being diligent and by obeying the rules, those who don’t make it, must be morally ambiguous if not outright reprehensible. The poor man is despised as much as the lonely man. There probably is something wrong with him, he’s lazy, pervert, wicked – don’t let him get to close to the kids!
