We discuss White Knights a lot in the Men’s Movement. However, very
little digital ink is expended on their origins and motivations. Obviously,
‘sucking up’ to women gives low betas, gammas and obese, moronic misfits their
only hope of free sex. However, I suspect there are deeper motivations behind
their absurd idolization of the thug-lovers and misandrist feminists that pass
for women in the contemporary Anglosphere.
In my experience, most White Knights tend to come from ‘enmeshed’ family
backgrounds. Enmeshed families are dysfunctional, lower-middle class kinship
groups whose members live in splendid (or not so splendid) isolation from the
rest of society. They often have ‘time-warp’ values several decades behind the
mainstream. Their children usually wear outmoded fashions and have an inflated
sense of their own abilities. School or college is not a good time for them –
such ‘real world’ institutions shatter the enmeshed child’s pipe-dreams of
his/her ‘specialness’. During this stressful period, the enmeshed family and
its delusions are the child’s sole haven. Indeed, the youngster’s attachment to
the family matriarch grows ever stronger during these difficult years. This is
where manginas and white knights come from – cold, frigid socons spouting their
parents’ outmoded platitudes about ‘goddesses’ or, alternatively, socialist
woman-worshippers in ostrich-like denial of women's true nature.
Here is an academic description:
The term enmeshment has been widely used in the family therapy literature since it was popularized by the work of Salvador Minuchin (1978)...
"Enmeshment refers to an extreme form of proximity and intensity in family interactions...In a highly enmeshed, overinvolved family, changes within one family member or in the relationship between two family members reverberate throughout the system...
On an individual level, interpersonal differentiation in an enmeshed system is poor...in enmeshed families the individual gets lost in the system. The boundaries that define individual autonomy are so weak that functioning in individually differentiated ways is radically handicapped (Minuchin, et al, 1978, p.30)."
Minuchin described the lack of clear ego boundaries between family members which produced a form of fusion, a condition that interfered with a clear sense of self. Much like parental alienation, the phenomenon of enmeshment may be found in varying degrees of intensity, with corresponding degrees of negative impact on child development.
Tommy Fleming is a perfect example of the enmeshed socon while David
Futrelle exemplifies the enmeshed socialist. Fleming has the bony, fanatic face
of a defeated Confederate Colonel and his website often alludes to the
school-bullying and general ridicule he experienced during adolescence. His
reflexive adulation of the past represents a fixation with the twisted dynamics
of his biological family, nothing more. And his blind woman-worship is best
explained by the semi-incestuous mother-love he experienced during turbulent
adolescence.
Turning to Futrelle, he clearly had similar issues growing up. His
enmeshed family were probably hippies - or at least touched by that
counterculture. Man-boob David doubtless gambolled around a middle-middle class
home full of Raggedy-Ann dolls and hokey books by the execrable Timothy Leary.
In this candy-floss idyll, he could do no wrong: mother-love, food and
approbation were ever at hand.
Cue school. Cue gym classes. Cue ridicule by sadistic jocks. Cue
indifference by painted nubiles. Cue recoil into enmeshed family. Cue
mummy-worship. Cue self-delusion. Cue the obese, self-indulgent mangina we know
today, squatting like some grotesque Buddha in a faded suburb amongst cat-droppings
and lesbian love-letters, prattling on about how ‘human’ Anglo-American women
are.
The mangina’s retreat from the ‘real world’ into the arms of his
enmeshed family is crucial to his fanatic rejection of consensus reality. He
deliberately forsakes the social mainstream for a mother-centred dream-world
several decades behind contemporary values. Note how Fleming embodies the
1950s, Futrelle the 1970s – the Twenty-First century rarely figures in their
pompous formulations. And the same is true of other White Knights,
left-liberals and socons in general.
Why does the English-speaking world produce more White Knights than any
other cultural bloc? Partly because the Anglosphere’s individualist,
post-puritanical ethos creates far more enmeshed, lower-middle class families.
In other cultures, greater ethno-cultural cohesion plus overtly masculine
values do much to dissolve insular families and disrupt male attachment to
them. Military service and legalized prostitution force men out into the wider
world, whether they want to go or not. In Thailand, where most adolescent males
use prostitutes as a matter of course, the enticements of ‘the world’ are too
heady to permit the sickly ‘mother-attachment’ that dominates the Anglosphere.
By contrast, countries like England are full of latent-homosexual manginas
worshipping denatured, frigid women in the face of all rational evidence.
The enmeshed reactionary invariably becomes a White Knight because of
the gynocratic nature of pre-Internet Anglo-Saxon culture. Women were
effusively pedestalized all through the 50s, 60s and 70s in films, pop music
and television shows. This agenda began to wane a little in the 80s and 90s but
only met serious opposition with the rise of the Internet. Prior to that, the
Pedestal Syndrome prevailed across the Anglosphere, embracing both the
left-liberal counterculture and its socon adversaries. Thus, hailing from an
enmeshed family invariably embeds the victim’s mind in the ‘pedestal era’. Both
Fleming and Futrelle are perfect examples of this process, in their respective
ways. Trapped in their vanished worlds, the poisonous reality of contemporary
gender-relations passes over them like the wind.
