Youth Cultures and Potent Signifiers: Some Thoughts on 'Stranger Things'


I have heard a number of younger colleagues in my workplace extolling the wonders of the TV show Stranger Things. My interest piqued, I watched seasons 3 and 4 and found their earnest attachment to the show slightly enigmatic: why was a televisual homage to the 1980s (and set in the 1980s) so popular among Millennials and Zoomers? I will here offer a few explanations for their enthusiasm, which might help illuminate the current (terrible) state of Anglo-American gender relations. 

On the face of it, there is nothing especially interesting about Stranger Things. It seems to be a tidy blend of John Hughes movies like The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful, teen adventure films like The Goonies and Stand by Me, TV shows like Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills 92510, with various supernatural/conspiracy ideas culled from the novels of Stephen King (Carrie, It, The Stand) and Dean Koontz (Sole Survivor, Twilight Eyes) adding weight to the mix. 

Why do Zoomers and younger Millennials find all this Gen-X retro-schlock so engaging in the twenty-first century?



While it is not an easy question to answer in simple terms, there is a strong sociological component to Stranger Things; and this component not only explains the show's popularity, its also offer insights into the mass inceldom and gender conflicts of the present age. Let us begin: 

  • The show is set in the early 1980s, when a strong and well-defined youth culture prevailed. The 80s had immensely powerful and lucrative youth cultures with magazines and music aimed exclusively at the young. This culture continued into the 90s but was effectively dead by the end of that decade. Obviously, the decultured and drifting modern Zoomer is going to find this vibrant youth culture incredibly novel and  inspiring in relation to his own isolated, vacuous life. 
  • The 80s was the last decade with powerful symbolic signifiers, especially those associated with youth culture. The pan-Anglosphere youth culture of that decade transcended genders, sexualities or socio-economic classes: everyone knew the same stars and underwent the same rituals (prom nights, concerts, movies, TV and radio shows). These shared, global signifiers made it relatively easier for members of Generation X to relate to each other across barriers of class and (especially) gender. My suspicion is that this facilitated broader friendship groups and in turn, more opportunities for relationship formation. Gender relations are quite different today, where most girls are TikTok mini-celebrities while most males are sexually marginalised pariahs
  • The absence of modern social media plus the media monoculture of that time made the 80s the last decade with instantly recognisable global superstars. Music generated by organic, coherent youth cultures makes a powerful and vivid soundtrack for Stranger Things.
  • The 1980s was the last Cold War decade, which empowered rebellious youth cultures by default. The threat of nuclear annihilation inevitably does great things for youthful rebellion; by contrast, branded consumerism and social media promote youthful conformity
  • The absence of social media or mobile devices permits normal interactions between the characters in Stranger Things. Again, such real interactions appeal strongly to 'tech-alienated' Millennials and Zoomers.
  • Stranger Things cleverly hides 80s problems like endemic racism, presenting a sanitised and appealing view of the decade. The 80s were not flawless, by any means; but Millennials and Zoomers do not need to know that to appreciate the show.
  • Chronological proximity: in simple terms, the 80s are close enough to the present for modern youth to appreciate them. The 80s had video games (albeit in arcades), an emergent black middle class and a vocal LBTG movement. The overtly sexist and racist Boomer culture of the 50s, 60s and 70s is now too culturally remote (and offensive) for modern audiences. The 80s hits the 'sweet spot' in terms of cultural proximity as no other decade can.



So there were have it: the appeal of Stranger Things to people who were not even born when most of its cultural icons were stalking the lands. Unfortunately, cultural time only moves one way; so the dynamic youth culture that defined the 80s is gone forever, never to return. Its memes will persist as nostalgia only, while the Anglosphere hobbles onward into mass inceldom and overt gender-conflict.

Tales from the Frontiers: Female Pedestalisation and Anglo Colonial Culture

In his excellent and definitive article from 2018, a former US Corrections Officer noted that most of the English-speaking world – in fact, everywhere but the UK – is defined by a colonial history marred by racism, slavery and genocide (though all this was all engineered by and from Britain, of course). In the Corrections Officer’s enlightened view, feminist ‘protest culture’ has appropriated the residual resentment associated with these crimes to empower itself, even though white women (and even white feminists) were often complicit in them.

As I re-read his article, his profound observations opened my mind to a further possibility: did the Anglosphere’s colonial culture of ‘womanless’ men directly influence the ‘pedestalisation’ of women and institutional misandry that currently defines the Anglo-American ‘colonial’ countries (the USA, Canada, NZ, Australia)?

Female pedestalisation arises naturally in a colonial situation, since frontiersmen are bereft of sexual opportunity. Women are remote, almost mythical beings and nearly all males are hardcore incels by simple virtue of their situation, whatever their social status or appearance. This sexual and emotional deprivation leads naturally to an intense and unnatural idealisation of women. For example, it is said that men in the American West would often burst into tears at the sight of any woman, regardless of her age or appearance. Moreover, gunfights over women were common and prostitutes could earn small fortunes sexually servicing cowhands, frontier soldiers, gold prospectors and other sexually disenfranchised males in the untamed West.

If we look at modern North America, both the US and Canada are the global epicentres of misandrist and sex-negative feminism. In the US prostitution is strictly prohibited, divorce outcomes for men are crippling, women are exempt from Draft registration and can mutilate (or even murder) males with complete legal impunity. Meanwhile ‘oppressed’ misandrist feminists like Katherine McKinnon dominate American law, politics and what remains of the mainstream media with an iron fist. In Canada, the situation is very similar: female ‘educators’ are showing pre-pubertal children their genitals while Canadian males are viewed as third class citizens, stooges and criminals by the police and other authorities.

When we take their distinctive colonial histories into account, it should come as no surprise that the US and Canada are now the most obviously misandrist of all Anglosphere countries. North American culture was strongly defined by sexually disenfranchised males who never saw a woman for months on end, plus entitled females who enjoyed maximal ‘scarcity status’ as 'controllers' and 'dispensers' of sex. When added to religious puritanism, malleable common law and underhand legalism, this sexual deprivation/scarcity situation was fertile soil for misandrist, sex-negative feminism to flourish. With various modulations, the other Anglo-Saxon colonial nations (Australia and NZ) exhibit the same institutional misandry so intimately associated with ‘colonial puritanism’.

One last thing: the colonial factor also explains why North American men (both tradcons and liberals) remain so strongly complicit in their own oppression. Since the colonial cult of female exaltation retains such a potent residual presence in North America, most North American males remain strongly attached to the delusion that women are somehow ‘guiltless’, ‘victimised’ and ‘oppressed’. For example, sexless White/Blue Knights and other male buffoons are fiercely protective of tattooed, misandrist feminists and intensely hostile to the Red/Crimson/Black Pills. Although their confusion can be partly attributed to rampant Sexual False Consciousness, a deep 'colonial' need to ‘pedestalise’ women is also in play.

The modern Anglo-American White/Blue Knight is essentially Judge Roy Bean, in all but name: a deluded fantasist with a Lillee Langtree poster nailed to the wall of his dust-bowl shack.

Where we Stand: Amidst the Embers of a Dying Civilisation

Is the ailing Anglosphere truly finished, at last?

When I started this project over a decade ago, a simple argument formed the cornerstone of my thesis. In short, I argued that Anglo-American feminism embodied the oppressive Anglo-Saxon puritanism of the Victorian era (although puritanism has been a potent force for much longer, as my books demonstrate). Although it claims to be ‘revolutionary’, modern Anglo-American feminism is in truth an extension of puritanical Anglo-American culture, not any kind of challenge to it. This is why Anglo-American feminism is so virulent and powerful, drawing much more support from the dominant culture than feminism outside the Anglosphere. Feminism is now truly the dominant ideology across the Anglophone world, persecuting and vilifying men at every turn. We see this in law, politics, academia and of course, across the mainstream media (or what remains of it).

This is why - despite its progressive rhetoric - Anglo feminism remains an essentially racist, elitist and puritanical movement. Its conceptual DNA adheres to the prevailing themes of Anglo-American culture, despite its stated opposition to them. The media maintains a screen of Sexual False Consciousness to prevent males from seeing the real situation (or challenging it if they do), keeping them locked in a fog of self-delusion. Since the broad mass of Anglo-American women enjoy exalted status in a sex-negative society as 'owners' of sex, they have every reason to support these agendas, of course.


Writing in 2022, it might appear that the puritanical stranglehold over the Anglosphere has weakened somewhat, what with the rise of 'Trans Rights' and alternate sexual lifestyles in general. However, making such an assumption would be a grave mistake

In reality, I would argue that the Anglosphere is even more repressed and puritanical than ever before – even more than it was before these movements arose. Driven by its reflexive hatred of natural heterosexual relations, the Anglo-American world has rapidly adopted sexual deviance as a means of managing the tensions that naturally arise in a denatured, sex-negative civilisation.

The whole deluded and discredited notion that gender identity is purely a ‘social construct’ springs from exactly the same puritanical neuroses. Encouraging 8-year old children to ‘transition’ before their personalities have properly formed is – like Anglo feminism itself – driven by an insane hatred of natural human sexuality. It is subhuman status and sexual disenfranchisement that drives low value men from the Anglosphere West into becoming transsexual 'women', not some deep-rooted longing to be female. As ever, the Anglo-Saxon terror of natural sexuality seeks refuge from the fact of sexual differentiation in crass denial of biological reality: in short, the ‘new’ transsexual agendas are really as old as the hills.

From our awakened perspective, these bizarre developments have amply confirmed my original thesis (however much the authorities strive to present them to the masses as ‘revolutionary’ or ‘liberating’).

In philosophical terms, puritanism is the key ‘episteme’ underlying Anglo-American culture, including its misandrist feminism; it can no more escape from it than an ocean can drown itself. Only the manosphere – and in particular, the Anglobitch Thesis – can offer awakened men an objective critique of the Anglosphere, or show them how to escape it. Our linguistic and conceptual innovations – the various Pills, our lexicon of new terms, our reliance on robust quantitative data – are essential keys in this revolutionary struggle. Because they are independent of (and unsullied by) Anglo-American degeneracy, these matchless weapons show men both how to resist and defeat it.

Remember, you are heroes and never let anyone tell you different.

Is the Anglosphere Ripe for the Taking? Moscow, Geopolitics and the Anglobitch Thesis

The Kremlin - beating heart of the Thesis?

Although it is hard to believe, the Kremlin view this blog quite regularly (the Senate, to be precise). It is easy to track any viewer's IP address on Google Maps to find exactly where they live. I never normally do this, since knowing such things is none of my business. However, when I get regular hits from Moscow, London or Washington it makes sense to undertake further enquiries. Unless the Anglobitch Thesis has any fans in the Kremlin – and why would it have? – we are safe to assume they are using our articles and commentary to gauge the mettle of the Anglosphere West.

It must be said that their interest is fairly understandable:

  • We describe the Anglosphere as it truly is, not as the Anglo-American authorities want it to be seen. We hear from exploited immigrant workers in Canada, American expatriates and incel Brits: a broad and representative slice of articulate and intelligent Anglo-American males.
  • We discuss various statistics and stories that undercut ‘official’ Angloshere narratives about the Anglo-American world being a peerless stronghold of sexual freedom and happiness.
  • We have had some pretty high-powered commentary on here by law professors, corrections officers and former military men describing the legal and cultural problems of the Anglosphere in great detail, especially as they relate to gender issues

Accurate knowledge of an enemy informs what Alexander the Great called ‘The Whole Campaign’: the economic, infrastructural, social and political landscape of an enemy nation, not just its military prowess. By any reckoning, the myriad problems of the Anglosphere must be very interesting to a potentially hostile state like Russia. Here are a few examples:

Institutional Misandry alienating millions of men

I will not bore the reader with what they already know about the Anglosphere’s institutional misandry, a legacy of its puritanical and sex-negative cultural heritage. The issue has become so bad that many weak-minded men are ‘transitioning’ into 'honorary' women, in order to acquire the exalted status that Anglo-American women enjoy by right.

Inceldom, Mass Shootings and ‘Idle Hands Theory’

In the US, nearly a third of all men under thirty have not had sex in a year. Including those men who exclusively use sex workers, that number is probably closer to half. Entitled girls and women dismissing such a high proportion of young males as sexual partners inevitably breeds feelings of resentment, making North America less stable than comparable societies. Mass shootings are not a simple matter of sexless young men shooting women or 'sex havers', however; while true incel shooters certainly exist, most shooters are incels by accident rather than design. That is, they are not deliberately targeting young women (or promiscuous 'sex havers') in the manner of Elliot Rodger or Seung Hui-Cho. Rather, they exemplify what I term the ‘Idle Hands’ Theory of mass shooting: that inceldom frees them to pursue a more general vengeance against those they resent or despise.

So what is 'Idle Hands Theory'? When a young man is enjoying a sexual relationship (and the greater fulfilment this brings), his ‘idle hands’ are much less likely to act on his natural male desires for vengeance, violencenotoriety and so forth. Remove that sexual relationship from his life and the same young man is suddenly ‘free’ to go after his classmates, work colleagues, black/white/brown people or any other target group he holds a grudge against. Indeed, crime statistics show that single males are ten times more likely to kill someone than males in a relationship. In sum, ‘Idle Hands’ Theory explains why North America increasingly resembles Liberia or Mexico rather than a stable post-industrial society; unchained from social responsibility by their inceldom, sexless young men are free to ‘act out’ vengeance fantasies that would normally remain firmly in their heads

In sum, raising the proportion of sexually-disenfranchised young men to the levels typically seen in unstable, vendetta-based societies has made North America far more vengeful – an obvious outcome, from a rational standpoint.

Borderline Cultural Values

Partly due to its feminist orientation, American culture as a whole seems to suffer from collective Borderline Personality Disorder: that is, it sees the world in dichotomous 'black and white' terms with its head continually striking the ceiling of reality. The North American assumption that ‘everyone’ can ‘make it’ and become rich/famous without reference to appearance, intellect or talent is a good example of this. An astute external observer like Putin is bound to see an entire culture mired in mental illness and fantasist delusions as an opportunity, not a threat. And Canada is even worse than the US, if that were humanly possible.

Canada: epic scenery hiding feminist child abuse

Dysfunctional non-selective Secondary Schooling that breeds Mass Shooters

I have noticed one important this about school shootings that no one else mentions: they are more frequent in countries without a selective state secondary education system to segregate the intellectually able from the mainstream (namely, the Anglosphere, Scandinavian and some far eastern countries).  In France, Holland or Germany, which retain a selective state secondary education system, mass shootings are relatively rare. The US has become home to almost daily school shootings, as unhappy students or former students take out their righteous resentment against bullying, ostracism and unrealistic academic demands. I doubt Klebold and Harris would have shot anyone if they were surrounded by other high IQ adolescents in a selective secondary school; neither would Salvador Ramos, if he were in a more congenial (for him) trade school environment.

Despite their socialism, Scandinavian countries are also highly prone to mass shootings (especially Finland).  This is because they share the Anglosphere’s non-selective secondary education system: a one-fits-all model of secondary education that breeds dissatisfaction for both the gifted and the average alike.

Dysfunctional non-selective state secondary schooling

Not only is state Anglosphere schooling a largely toxic social experience, it is fairly ineffective; in the UK, one person in three cannot divide 65 by 5 with pencil and paper. The fact that most inhabitants of the Anglosphere are stupid and lazy must be quite heartening to its many enemies, Russia foremost among them.

Failed Multiculturalism

Nations with alienated minorities are never robust, by definition. They have higher crime rates, less cohesion and a poorer quality of life. Due to their distinctive colonial/slave trading history, the Anglosphere nations are full of angry, profoundly alienated minorities who grow up as outsiders and justifiably hate the countries they live in. Although the authorities continuously strive to define multiculturalism as  positive and enriching, it is obviously a source of endemic dysfunction and profound alienation. As some commentators have written here, the racial tensions specific to post-colonial states create residual resentments which also feed generic radicalism; Anglo-American feminism is an obvious example of this (despite being a white, elitist and largely racist movement). That divided, hate-filled societies are ripe for the taking is one of war's oldest lessons; consider Alexander's effortless conquest of multicultural Persia.

Also, there are strong sexual dimensions to minority alienation: despite fake mass media depictions of inter-racial sexual harmony, puritanical middle class white women do not view non-white sub-9 males as potential sexual partners, however 'Woke' they claim to be. The extensive grooming and abuse of underclass white females in the UK is an predictable and obvious response to this wounding sexual ostracism.

Destruction of Monocultural Social Management Systems by Social Media

Without a media monoculture maintaining youth cultures to alleviate isolation and tensions between the sexes, gender relations have steadily worsened since about 2007. The coherent youth cultures that defined the Anglosphere in the second half of the twentieth century (and provided instant social circle and relationship formation opportunities) are now largely extinct, further worsening the incel problem and feeding male alienation in general. Social and sexual status is now based on one’s Tinder profile,  feeding female hypergamy and excluding a much larger proportion of males from the sexual marketplace.

Although ‘mainstream’ discourse is still controlled by upper-middle class Boomer politicians and commentators firmly stuck in the 1950s, social media has somewhat replaced such discourse and the Sexual False Consciousness associated with it. This revolution has found expression in the rise of the alt-right, the manosphere, protest voting and radical dissidence in general. Nothing wrong with those things, of course; but they are hardly conducive to societal stability.

Generation X Youth Culturists

Gerontocracy, Class Distinction and ‘Elite’ Incompetence

Anglosphere countries have relatively rigid class structures that result in alienated minorities, a huge white underclass and a cranky Boomer gerontocracy stuck in the 1950s. Johnson is a buffoon while Biden is clearly senile and younger Anglosphere politicians are either misandrist feminists or Marxists: Trudeau, Ardern and Albanese being three prime examples. In sum, the Anglosphere is run by a weak, degenerate and useless pseudo-elite who are clearly incapable of resolving internal problems or resisting external threats. Looking at that laughable crew, Mr Putin and his cronies must be rubbing their hands in sheer delight.

A Few Conclusions?

Considering our long-term interest in all these issues, it is entirely obvious why the Kremlin is so interested in this blog. Like a hyena eyeing a limping wildebeest on the Serengeti, the Russian oligarchy must open a new bottle of vodka every time a new Anglobitch post or comment appears. And since the invasion of Ukraine, the Anglosphere West has largely demonstrated only the dysfunctional weakness we ascribe to it: it will neither enforce a no-fly zone or send anything but military equipment to the battlefront, for example.

There is one problem with the Russians’ approach, however: Ukraine is not an Anglosphere country, and thus more robust than its crumbling western sponsors. Its boxers are renowned, its people retain a strong religious faith and they are ethnically homogeneous and fiercely patriotic, for the most part. In short, Ukraine has all the resilient qualities that the trans-obsessed, school-shooting, misandrist Anglosphere nations with their failed multiculturalism lack completely. Which kind of proves an important point: unless you are going to attack the Anglosphere directly, studying its weaknesses is a fairly pointless activity.

Still, we ought to be flattered at Moscow's interest in this humble blog. Their attentions prove that the Anglobitch Thesis is a tool of immense value for understanding the unique problems of the Anglosphere West.

War on the Horizon? Watch the Feminists throw ‘Social Constructs’ Out the Window


During wartime, this critter is suddenly more 'valuable' than the average male


I apologize for my tardiness in writing. At last, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is confirmed and settling into a regular pattern, as is the west’s response to it. Since the invasion was the focus of this post, I now have all the ammunition to make my general case.

So Russia invades Ukraine for whatever reason, Ukrainian women are permitted to flee the country while all men under 60 are expected to remain as a reserve-pool of potential cannon-fodder to resist the invaders. Now, this sounds pretty sexist and traditional to me. Yet nowhere have we seen or heard any opposition to this outrageous ‘sexism’ either from feminists or the ‘progressive’ western media. In fact, all we hear is unstinting and universal applause for these policies. Predictably, the west's tradcuck conservatives haven’t had much to say, either.

Despite the rhetoric espoused by feminists and their various 'progressive' apologists across the Anglosphere, these same apologists never propose that women should take an active role in the military or any other dangerous occupation.

Despite their chatter, the Anglosphere (and indeed, the west in general) accepts the following policies without a moment's thought:
  • Only women and children are allowed to leave Ukraine.
  • All men under 60 have to remain in Ukraine.
  • All men under 60 remaining in Ukraine will be expected to fight.
How interesting that the same countries which were recently arguing that gender is a 'social construct' now happily embrace Ukraine's overtly 'sexist' policies without a moment's demur. Indeed, the lamestream media is already promoting biological females as more 'important' than males with 'trafficking' rhetoric, in time-honoured Anglo fashion. The only concern they register for men is for the few hundred trans women living in the Ukraine. As Vice puts it:
One trans woman said she is “terrified” of being stopped trying to leave Ukraine, and being forced to join the Ukrainian army “as a man” – especially because authorities are stopping men aged 18 to 60 from leaving. Another Ukrainian trans woman is too scared to leave her accommodation in fear of transphobic attacks. She’s the only person left in her neighbourhood.
I do not blame these transsexuals, they are merely responding rationally to the fact that low value men have 'subhuman' status in the world. But hold on - what about all the non-trans men who might be forced to join the Ukrainian army "as men"? If everything is a 'social construct', without any biological or physical foundation whatsoever, why have non-trans males suddenly become legitimate cannon fodder

So,what lessons can we draw from this fiasco of double-standards?
  • Gender equalism and the Anglo-feminist notion that gender is a 'social construct' are instantly forgotten when war or any other dangerous activity comes into view. Then, only men are expected to defend these ideas with their lives. And yet if the Anglosphere authorities truly thought gender was merely a 'social construct', they would put women and their flat heads straight into the front lines.
  • In general terms, Anglo-American feminists don’t really believe a word they say or write. All their cloudy talk about 'gender-equality' and 'gender anti-essentialism' is just that: talk. When it comes down to it, they are still living in the 1950s on gender issues, male rights and everything else: exactly as one would expect from the Anglobitch Thesis.
  • Anglo-American liberals still view men as ‘disposable’ even while spouting their ‘gender is a social construct’ rhetoric. One cannot make a leopard change his (or her) spots - not this one, at any rate. In the final analysis, 'progressives' are no friends to Anglo-American men. As a reflexively sex-negative and misandrist cultural bloc, the Anglosphere will always pedestalise women and devalue men; that is its default position, and it can do no other.

In conclusion, don't be fooled by all the hollow rhetoric. An Awakened Man puts himself first, second and last, in every situation. Stay aloof, stay strong and let the Crimson Pill continue to guide you.

 

Imaginary 'Trafficking' tales are stirring up Blue Knight Anglocucks

Old Maps and New Territories: Why is the Anglosphere stuck in 1958 on the Verge of 2022?

The 1950s ideal looks good; but don't rely on it

On the eve of 2022, it moves us to ask this urgent question: why are so many men still using outmoded information to navigate gender relations? Although most Anglocunts are either chasing tattooed thugs or angling for some Blue-Pilled beta to marry before running into the Wall, most Anglo-American males still worship them as secular deities

Why?


The hideous reality of the 21 century Anglobitch 

Answering this question necessarily involves addressing the whole of Anglo-American culture, of which gender-relations form but a small part. Such a timely appraisal will reveal that the same outmoded values govern politics, the media and law: a temporal false consciousness strongly akin to Sexual False Consciousness, which I will here call ‘1958 False Consciousness’. The ridiculous 'War on Drugs' is a good example, despite law enforcement knowing it to be a costly and abject failure.

There is more. In the Anglosphere, the most urgent issues are ignored while politicians and the media fixate on issues that are decades out of date (or just completely irrelevant, like 'trafficking'). While I do not rate Bernie Sanders’ policies, he deserves great credit for pointing out that most poor Americans do not vote at all. No mainstream American politician discussed this ‘elephant in the room’ until he did. In fact, Anglo-American politics itself is a ludicrous relic: electoral colleges, ballot boxes, wooden rhetoric and doddering politicians still fighting the Cold War. Meanwhile, the real issues - including mass male sexual disenfranchisement, institutional misandry, male suicide rates and the declining value of college education - are completely sidelined. In sum, the prevailing wisdom on most things in the Anglosphere is old and outmoded, if not completely useless.

On the cusp of 2022, we need to know how and why this ridiculous situation arose. Here are a few suggestions:

Boomer Domination of Mainstream Culture

The Boomer domination of mainstream media, politics and the cultural life is beginning to decline as they die off, yet remains a powerful force. For example, the Boomer assumption that attending college automatically confers 'middle class' status still governs mainstream discourse. Boomer assumptions still govern gender-relations, too; the lame Tradcuck canards that snotty Anglocunts are ‘oppressed’ or attracted to physics professors being good examples. Supposedly 'cutting-edge' commentators like Aaron Cleary and Jordan Peterson are essentially Tradcuck Boomers, in all but name. Peterson’s views are worthless to sub-8 men in the 21st century, yet he enjoys vast popularity as a ‘revolutionary’ thinker. Meanwhile, LMS and myself are marginalised figures even within the manosphere.

It is fair to say that the Manosphere arose to fill the vacuum between the reality of life for sub-8 men and the Blue-Pilled Boomer rhetoric that still dominates films, TV shows and pop music. Indeed, the Anglosphere’s strident ‘All women are victims!’ agenda is a fifties relic; given that they are now shown preferential treatment in every sphere of life.


The Boomer garbage we were raised with

Legacy Puritanism

Some of the Anglo-American aversion to reality arises from legacy puritanism and its reflexive tendency to suppress ‘unpleasant’ features of human nature; hence the hysterical and dysfunctional 'zero tolerance' policies concerning drugs and prostitution in the USA. By contrast, the Hispanic world is comfortable with both diversions. Similarly, the Anglo authorities would rather dismiss the issue of mass male sexlessness than accept the 'unpleasant' reality of human sexual needs. Unfortunately for them, reality cannot be banished indefinitely.

Legitimate Nostalgia

The post-war era, especially the period from 1958 to 1975, was an anomaly in economic terms. Because of its relative peace, prosperity and cultural significance, it has become a permanent lifestyle template for the Anglosphere (and indeed, the West in general). This is why the post-war era continues to ‘haunt’ the Anglosphere as an ideal, preventing rational appraisal of the present in many different spheres: education, law enforcement, politics and (above all) gender relations. Putting it bluntly, many people find wallowing in a half-mythical past far preferable to confronting (or even acknowledging) urgent contemporary problems. 

Anglosphere Atomisation: Social Isolation, Homosociality, Generationalism, Racism and Class Distinction

Because of its distinctive colonial history, laissez faire economics and ingrained homosociality, different classes, races, generations and sexes share few common experiences in the Anglosphere countries. Clearly, this conflicted situation will never promote objective appraisal of reality; consider how upper-middle class white Boomer politicians remain stuck in the 1950s, completely unaware of anyone else or their experiences. Similarly, homosocial academic feminists harbour distorted views about non-white or sub-8 men as 'privileged', since they never meet any. The Anglosphere's black urban underclass lives in an insular world of rap music, bogus aspirations and drive-by shootings, as if nothing else existed. Such atomised societies can never develop common arenas of discourse, the true engines of socio-cultural development. Inevitably, this results in a kind of existential inertia with no capacity to adapt or improve.

Conclusion: How Using the Right Map Confers Success


Rampant Blue Knights = Blue Balled Losers and Fantasists

For all the reasons outlined above (and doubtless many more), Anglo-American civilisation is trapped in a prison of outmoded information. As individuals, Anglo-American men are also applying outmoded information to their own lives; in sum, trying to navigate the twenty-first century with social and mental maps from the mid-twentieth century. This is potentially disastrous, given the reflexive misandry of the modern Anglosphere; a good analogy would be a modern traveller using a map of the Roman Empire to navigate around Europe and North Africa.

So here is the great lesson of this timely post: the Blue Pill in all its forms is a redundant map that no longer reflects reality. This is why those who follow it are invariably failures: Incel Tears are sexless Simps in denial; Blue Knights are blue-balled losers trapped in the cloying fog of Sexual False Consciousness; and PUAs are regularly fined (or arrested) for 'sexual harassment' (the feminist legal term for 'cold approach'). In sum, these Blue and Red Pilled clowns are trying to navigate the 21st century with maps drawn in 1958-1975: surely the road to nowhere, if ever there was one.

However, the converse must also be true: if the Black and Crimson Pills are accurate maps of reality, surely they ought to confer success instead of failure?

As John Smith says, the Crimson-Pilled man is primed to maximise his situation: he improves what he can while accepting his unchangeable limitations. After all, a sub-8 male kidding himself that 'looks or ethnicity don't matter' is on the royal road to failure. However, if he focuses on careers based on brain power and diligence alone (computing, engineering, finance, medicine) his life-chances improve exponentially. Similarly, a sub-8 male in misandrist North America should not waste his time pursuing hyper-hypergamous, racist Anglo women; far better to relocate to regions where gender-relations are more congenial (Latin America, Western Europe, Scandinavia, South East Asia).

In sum, the Crimson-Pill's skilful balance of self-improvement and objectivity guarantees personal success, within viable limits. In the 21st century, use a 21st century map; while the 1958 map looks nice, it no longer delivers.

Happy 2022!

Incelerando Now Available on Kindle


This revolutionary work projects the 
myriad perplexities of our age into both near and distant futures. It forms the third volume of my great Crimson-Pilled trilogy, which already includes Havok and Hope on Distant Shores.

Although it expresses many of the same themes and speculations as those two books, Incelerando does so from a wholly different perspective. It contains no footnotes or attributions, but is no less dynamic for all that.

The title Incelerando implies an acceleration of existing conditions, especially in the sphere of pan-Anglosphere gender-relations and institutional misandry. In sum, Incelerando explores such conceptual, political and social speculations on an infinite conceptual landscape spanning continents and centuries.
