In the UK, we still know very little about the Aurora Batman massacre or its perpetrator. This gives us the opportunity to make a few predictions about him, to be ‘reality-tested’ at some future date.
I
predict that James Eagan Holmes will be:
- Single – not married or in a relationship.
- Sexually disenfranchised – that is, not in a sexual relationship. In truth, he will probably be a virgin.
- Deeply disillusioned – his life never ‘lived up to its promise’.
- A mercenary – one of the new breed of Anglo-American men who are (or become) indifferent to 'mainstream' society and its misandrist values.
- Alienated – he will have no (or very few) deep relationships with other people.
- A nerdy, high-IQ individual of the type typically shunned by Anglo women.
- He will exhibit no sign of organic brain-disease. He will, however, be labelled mentally ill.
- He will hail from a middle-class or affluent working-class background.
Young
men who slavishly conform to the misandrist agendas inherent in the Anglosphere eventually
find themselves trapped in what British psychiatrist R D Laing called a ‘double
bind’ – a contradictory situation where all avenues lead to failure. Instead of
being applauded for their conformity, they find themselves despised and scorned
for it. While snarling, illiterate thugs monopolize all the sexual action, the
Anglo conformist finds himself in a blind-alley of lifelong sexual frustration.
While posturing rappers and sadistic jocks rake in millions, many
highly-educated males who ‘did the right thing’ end up flipping burgers for a
pittance (as James Holmes did).
From
what little I have seen of the news footage, it is clearly the toxic blend of
knee-jerk misandry and female pedestalization we all expect from the American
media. Reports tirelessly praise the female victims – their selflessness,
intelligence and vivacity. For example, Jessica Ghawi is universally lauded as a
female saint while (somewhat predictably) the male victims hardly merit a
mention. With fearful zest, the tragedy has been twisted into an anti-male
circus. The only males with positive write-ups are the three White Knights who died 'shielding their women' from Holmes' bullets. The well-worn feminist double-standard at work, here: men are unwanted except as workhorses, ATM machines, cannon-fodder and now, bullet-proof vests. What clearer proof do we need that the Anglosphere’s ‘default setting’
is misandry – and that men who conform to it are fools?
Oddly,
the killer’s behaviour prior to the massacre (dropping out of his doctoral programme) suggests he had belatedly discerned
this truth. Further, his adoption of the Joker’s persona implies identification with the
anti-heroic, since the Joker is ‘mainstream’ society’s relentless foe. Perhaps
the atrocity was an attempt to express his new identity in the most adversarial
manner possible. In a culture where manhood is reflexively vilified at every
turn, troubled minds will clutch at any archetype containing the least shred of
masculine self-worth.
PS: I see David Futrelle has produced a 'pussified' version of Anglobitch. Such incisive barbs... such cutting irony... for a moment there I was, uh, humbled by the brilliance of his wit. Charlie Chaplin, Peter Cook and the Monty Python team will doubtless be looking to their laurels.
What a tosser, as the English would say.
