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, violence, notoriety 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.

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.

Is Incel New? Tinder, Orwell and the Scourge of Sexual Disenfranchisement

Truth? What is Truth?

In the wake of the Alek Minassian massacre in Canada, the lamestream media has just ‘discovered’ the incel (involuntary celibate) phenomenon.  One question that haunts me is: Is the incel phenomenon new?

There are two broad perspectives on this:

1. Younger men seem to think incel is fairly new and that earlier male generations generically experienced more sex because of socially-imposed monogamy. Also, looks-orientated social media such as Tinder have excluded uglies, manlets and ethnics from the mating market as never before, while boosting female hypergamy to insane levels.

2. Older men broadly think that incels have always existed and that the recent incel explosion is a myth created by social media. That is, that incels have only now been allowed to express their inceldom via social media, creating the illusion that inceldom is new.

A case can be made to support both perspectives. Writing as early as the late 1980s, British crime writer Colin Wilson coined the term 'sexual disenfranchisement' to describe an emergent male sexual underclass which was unduly represented in the ranks of sexual criminals, mass murderers and so forth. His argument was that social status is now stated not through wealth or social status but through sexual prowess, and that unfettered female hypergamy has created a male sexual underclass with nothing to lose. Similarly, Robert A Heinlein in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) described a lunar colony in which polyandrous line-marriages prevent the inevitable social chaos caused by a surplus of single men. The great George Orwell wrote extensively about male sexual disenfranchisement in Britain and other Western countries, especially in his bleak memoir Down and Out in Paris and London (1933). Some might call these writers fringe thinkers, yet it must be said that people have been pondering these issues since the 1930s; they are clearly not new.

Joe's Chadly efforts fall on stony ground...

On the other hand, there are several new factors which lend credence to the idea that inceldom is a recent phenomenon. Aside from the obvious looks-orientated social media apps like Tinder, some are unexpected.

One would be the rise of genuine multiculturalism (the real thing, not the largely rhetorical 60s upper-middle class variant). A disproportionately high number of modern incels seem to be non-caucasian ethnics, or of mixed race. Back in the day, before the advent of multiculturalism, people were forced to marry within their own ethnic group because of cultural pressures and white racism. Today, those boundaries have slipped and ethnics now have to complete in a wider sexual marketplace. One result of this is that ethnic males are suddenly bottom of the sexual heap, with women of their own race preferring black or Caucasian males over males of their own race. Hence the rise of angry Currycels and Ricecels, and the fact that incel shooters are overwhelmingly ethnics.

In the age of social media, looks clearly matter

Another factor would be the rise of genuine feminism (again, not the upper-middle class 1960s version). Western women now outperform males in education, and most simply do not need men for financial support. They can spawn a child with a handsome Chad or Tyrone and raise it quite happily without having a male around. Female emancipation is really the ultimate expression of female homosociality. Simply put, women no longer need omega nerds to maintain them once they breed.

Another consideration might be increased levels of autism in the population. This is surely not wholly the result of modern over-diagnosis. The fact that people now have children at ever older ages is boosting the number of autistics in the West, and many male incels clearly occupy the autistic spectrum. Many are also from the educated middle class, a trait closely linked to autism in much of the medical literature.

At a general level, older people seem most astonished by the incel phenomenon. This is what one might expect if mass inceldom were simply less common in earlier eras. However, this might be simply because incels from earlier times had no social media platforms to express their experiences (or lack of them). Whatever the truth, this aged pastor seems genuinely baffled by the incel phenomenon:

On the other side, what is the evidence that incels have always been with us?

As we have seen, writers like George Orwell showed that incel males were common in the 1930s. Works like Keep the Aspidistra Flying (1936) prefigured the Anglobitch anti-feminist thesis, showing that women used sex as a manipulative weapon long before the modern era. However, since males of low status typically formed the majority of incels back then, their experiences were largely omitted from books, journalism and academic discourse. While that is still true, today there are countless online platforms where modern incels can express their views and experiences. In other words, incels are not new at all; it just seems that way because earlier incels had no public venting platforms.

Certain criminals claimed incel status long before the Internet era. For example, the 'Son of Sam' David Berkowitz, who shot several courting couples in New York during the 1970s, claimed to be motivated by a desire for revenge against 'normie' society for his incel status. Other murderous 'old' incels include Edmund Kemper and British mass shooter Michael Ryan.

The mainstream Anglo media have gone into freefall since the rise of the Internet. Once, there was a clearly-defined youth culture which forcibly imposed a narrative of 'sexual bounty' on the masses via films, TV shows, magazines and rock music (also known as Sexual False Consciousness). With these restrictive artefacts gone, incel men are now free to discuss their arid sexual reality openly and without shame. 

Classic movies like Midnight Cowboy (1969) suggest that the 60s Anglo-American 'sexual revolution' was largely a myth, anyway. When Joe Buck moves from Texas to NYC to sell sex to the new breed of 'liberated' women, he finds only pink poodles and the sad caresses of lonely homosexuals. Revenge of the Nerds (1984) suggests that high status girls (indeed, all girls) have always shunned Omega nerds for handsome, high status males. In sum, the notion that monogamy forcibly collectivised male sexual access in the post-war era is probably an MRA myth. Equally, the modern incel assumption that a few 'Chads' are having sex with 80% of women is probably shaped by Internet porn and the mainstream media generally.

One Helluva Gorgeous Chick...

Anglo culture is and always has been defined by puritanism/homosociality and white Anglo-American women have always been sexually conservative. In Hollywood versus America (1992), Michael Medved showed that most Americans (over 90%) still aspire to a monogamous heterosexual marriage, for example. Despite the Anglosphere’s sacralisation of recreational sex in recent years, most incels are probably waiting for ‘the one’ in time-honoured fashion, and not unduly unhappy about their situation. And maybe Chad is not having quite as much polygamous sex as the incels imagine (if he even exists at all).
