MGTOW enlightens us in the deception and lies we've been indoctrinated with since we were able to crawl.

However, actually taking action--once we've been enlightened to our brainwashed state--takes a herculian effort to "de-program" ourselves from what could be considered the largest, most pervasive, entrenched CULT of our time...the "Cult-like" reality of Blue-Pill existence.

Here's some interesting snippets taken from "checklist of Cultists Characteristics."

"Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged or even punished."

"Members (the “true believers”) feel there can be no life outside the context of the group. They believe there is no other way to be, and often fear reprisals to themselves or others if they leave (or even consider leaving) the group."

"induces feelings of shame and/or guilt in order to influence and/or control members. Often, this is done through peer pressure and subtle forms of persuasion."

Everyone, IMO, "on the plantation," or "in the matrix" (been there) is so shit-scared of not being accepted by, and/or included-in the larger group, they may willingly throw their identity, individuality, logic, rationality, intelligence, honor and integrity right under the bus (especially with regard to marriage).

Add to this, the fact we men have Mother Nature (10 times more testosterone coursing through our bodies) pushing us to pursue pussy (females) at all cost, its not hard to understand why we're where we are.

MGTOW shows men the CRITICAL IMPORTANCE of learning to seek validation and acceptance from OURSELVES. This allows for a healthy questioning of our OWN motivations, needs and desires from an INTERNAL perspective, to BE OUR OWN MAN (which scares the shit out of the gynocentrized horde), which is the true, natural, empowering state for any man.

I love it when I read of a man, (as an example) who being enlightened by MGTOW TRUTH, says he's left his soul-sucking, drudgerous, albeit "very high-paying" job that was killing him from the inside out. A job he NOW KNOWS he pursued primarily for the shallow, materialistic, status-based admiration, attention, attraction and desirability from the larger group (especially women) it garnered him.

He now changes careers to a job he finds much more inspiring and enriching, albeit it doesn't pay nearly as much, gets rid of the "crap" he didn't need and now doesn't want and shuns marriage. He is now happier, healthier and centered being his own man. His new-found sense of freedom, coupled with his overall sense of well-being and ever-increasing self-esteem, almost seem to good to be true. But he knows it isn't, as he reads daily of his MGTOW peers stating the same newfound experience.

He knows this change may indeed confuse his blue-pill peers, family and friends. After all, in their minds, he "had it made," and will look at his healthy-readjustment as a THREAT TO THE STATUS-QUO.

He, however, being MGTOW, fully expected this reaction, and knows their reaction is DRIVEN BY FEAR. After all, they know they must "belong" and be "accepted" at all cost, even at the expense of their own identity. And predictably, when/if they start in with the suspicious questioning and other fear-based tactics in attempt to ease their fear by persuading his re-entry into the fold, he shrugs it off, for he knows he was once there himself, smiles, and keeps moving forward, unwavering from his path.
