INTRO:
If you haven’t listened to the video conversation that is stickied, I would highly recommend it. Both speakers present great points and have enlightening argument from virtually the same perspective. The difference is how they approach the information, which is mostly collected on TRP sidebar.
What I will address is the difference between TRP and MGTOW, as well as what these differences mean. As a disclaimer, I will be speaking from a Red Pill bias. No, I do not think MGTOW is a philosophy to follow for an extended period of time.
BODY:
I never fully understood MGTOW, however, Niko was very enlightening in his discourse. The main difference is an acceptance of TRP knowledge provided, and on the other hand, combining this knowledge with experience and the will to evolve. As both speakers acknowledge, there is a difference between approaching things from an academic standpoint and an applied knowledge standpoint. If you are aware of MBTI, it is the difference between the N and S indicators. From what I could tell (through my experience and what the speakers divulge) MGTOW is a pure act of accepting TRP knowledge and living a life completely based on this revelation. In contrast, TRP is taking this knowledge and applying it to our shapeable reality and moving forward (perhaps more of a 50/50 approach when it comes to meyers briggs typology). We have a name for MGTOW here, it is called “monk mode.” Do we shape our life based on this perspective? No. We acknowledge its value and meld it into the greater picture. We acknowledge that it is not a final destination but only a step in the process.
I believe that MGTOW is a helpful place for many of you. Probably more helpful than TRP depending on where you are in your journey. However, it is only a stepping-stone. As Anteros states, leadership as opposed to isolation defines the Alpha male. The Alpha male steps up to the challenge of leading, sometimes to the point of sacrificing himself for what he has created. If his creation is a company, a ship he is captain of, or even merely a working relationship, he will take responsibility and take pride in what he has made for himself. This is masculinity. This is the type of man that will drive us forward. The feminist wishes to divide the sexes in a Marxist way. The MGTOW wishes to further this separation. The Red Pill man wishes to take what was given him and make something of it while bypassing the risks that come with it. A true alpha can take TRP knowledge and not be afraid. A true alpha is strong enough to face his enemy. He may lose a few battles, but only through these losses does he gain the knowledge to win the war. The true alpha fights for his tribe. If he didn’t, the tribe would not consider him worthy of being the alpha male in the first place. In the end, he will be glorified.
CONCLUSION:
MGTOW has its place, however, it is not the final outcome worth pursuing as a man. It is the total manifestation of “the anger phase” and autistic tendencies that plague men today. It is born of fear. The alpha male has no fear of rejection or failure. Use MGTOW as you may, but realize you were destined to leave it when the time comes. Please discuss.
