'They should have been more Honest': Sexual Hauntology and the Sexual Revolution that Never Happened

Why were these 60s 'Free Lovers' always rich, attractive and white?

This will be quite a demanding essay but I hope the reader stays with me to the end because this little  piece has quite profound implications for awakened men living in the Anglosphere.

Jacques Derrida

In its original form as devised by the philosopher Jacques Derrida in his 1993 book Spectres of Marx, 'hauntology' is a narrowly political concept. Since the ‘inevitable’ Communist utopia promised by Marx never materialised, Derrida claims that Europe is now haunted by nostalgia for a 'lost future' that never came to pass. Unsurprisingly, the Anglosphere (where Marxism is an intellectual non-event) has applied Derrida's concept to a much broader range of cultural activities.The Wikipedia entry for Hauntology reads:

Due to the difficulty in understanding the concept, there is little consistency in how other writers define the term.

In the 2000s, the term was taken up by critics in reference to paradoxes found in postmodernity, particularly contemporary culture's persistent recycling of retro aesthetics and incapacity to escape old social forms. Writers such as Mark Fisher and Simon Reynolds used the term to describe a musical aesthetic preoccupied with this temporal disjunction and the nostalgia for "lost futures". So-called "hauntological" musicians are described as exploring ideas related to temporal disjunction, retrofuturism, cultural memory, and the persistence of the past.

However, in my view the real 'hauntological' factor haunting the Anglo-American world is sexual: the west is haunted by a sexual revolution that was extensively promised in the 1960s and 70s, but never came to pass for the vast majority of men.

In short, we are haunted by nostalgia for a sexual revolution that never happened. This painful nostalgia is best described as 'Sexual Hauntology'. 

Truly, this realisation is equal to my concept of Sexual False Consciousness in its implications for Manosphere thought and the growing corpus of incel ideology. Of course, the West is haunted by many more broken promises than just its sexual ones, some of which directly relate to Sexual Hauntology: failed multiculturalism, failed Christianity (Jesus never returns) and the failed promise of the Aquarian 'New Age'. However, most men reading this are primarily haunted by the failed promises of endless sexual bounty promoted throughout the 1960s and 1970s; promises not only broken, but actively reversed by the Tinder Age. Feeling 'haunted', experiencing a sense of Sexual Hauntology, is our painful reward for Black Pilled knowledge.

The white, educated, able-bodied, upper-middle class 60's 'Sexual Revolution'

Of course, Blue Pilled ‘normie’ society believes the Sexual Revolution was not only fully realised but remains an ongoing reality for the vast majority of people. These cucks seriously think that inceldom is a 'lifestyle choice' for sub-8 young men and that 'everyone' is having free sex on a 24/7 basis without regard to appearance, wealth, ethnicity or other social striations. Of course, these absurd Boomer delusions arose from the rarefied experience of a small minority in the first place - namely, pampered upper-middle class whites practising 'Free Love' on college campuses - but that did not prevent them being amplified by the lamestream media into an unquestioned (if imaginary) 'norm'. 

Little wonder - only over the past ten years (with the rise of our Manosphere) has this faux 'consensus' being challenged at any level.

Of course, the Black Pilled reality is completely different. Instead of a sexual utopia, Tinder and the debased reality of female nature (Dog pill, hyper-hypergamy, sexual fascism) have unleashed a wave of mass sexual disenfranchisement for sub-8 and ethnic males; a tsunami of incel frustration that deprives the bottom third of young males of any sexual expression. The spectre of Sexual Hauntology only makes this grim reality all the more painful by contrast, explaining the acute sense of sexual grievance felt by incel killers like Elliot Rodger or Alek Minassian.

In the Anglosphere, Sexual Hauntology is amplified by another broken promise – namely, multiculturalism. The endemic sexual racism of Anglo-American white women is a potent colonial residue, contributing greatly to the sexual disenfranchisement (and general social ostracism) afflicting most non-white males residing in the Anglosphere. As several learned men have commented on this site, the colonial Anglosphere is defined by genocidal crimes against aboriginal peoples (Maoris, Native Americans, Australian Aborigines), as well as the more obvious crime of black slavery; all crimes the Anglosphere has never come to terms with (or, until recently, even acknowledged).

In the 60s and 70s, the rise of feminism became associated in the popular mind with sexual multiculturalism. However, this perception only arose because liberal observers falsely associated Anglo-American feminism with progressive values. As I have been saying for the past decade, Anglo feminism actually represents the extension and expansion of core Anglo-Saxon values - puritanism, misandry, sexual classism and racism - across the Anglosphere nations and even beyond. This is why non-white males in the post-feminist Anglosphere are even more sexually disenfranchised than they were in the first place.

False Promises: No one-eyed Indian Janitors wanted here

I hope the reader has enjoyed this little foray into post-modern philosophy and its implications for the Anglo-American Manosphere. We all know the Dog Pill is a real and present danger but I feel a need to return the blog to a more conceptual footing. Concepts like Hyper-Hypergamy and Sexual False Consciousness are now common currency in the Manosphere, and I feel Sexual Hauntology deserves to join them.

When Anglo-American men are growing up, they are generally fed the fiction that their adulthood will be filled with endless sexual encounters with warm, willing beauties, like a living James Bond movie. The naive Joe Buck - hero of Midnight Cowboy - is the classic example of this. For most men of course, this fantasy never materialises; and they are haunted by it for the rest of their lives, trapped forever in a state of Sexual Hauntology.

From this standpoint, the incel subculture is more a vengeful 'blowback' against broken promises far more than it is a 'cult' or 'movement'. Similarly, high-value dissident men who seek women outside the Anglosphere are striving to escape their 'haunting' by misandrist, low-value Anglo women.

Really, the concept of 'Sexual Hauntology' explains so many things.
