Probably the ballsiest video I’ve done yet.  I’m already getting stupid messages in my inbox about it.

Lunatic Fringe Radio: the only Reactionary Podcast on the Internet!  This week, I sat down for an interview with Aaron Clarey aka Captain Capitalism.  Watch it on YouTube, or download the MP3.

My previous article.

Less Wrong: Guessing the Teacher’s Password.

Man or woman, black or white, Jew or Gentile – I write for those who have eyes to see, for those who aren’t blinded by ideology.  The great Evils of this world do not follow the lines of demography; they infect and spread through all peoples, a fungal infection of the mind.

When demography comes into play, it is merely the symptoms which vary.  This Beast has a thousand different heads, and I will not hold my punches because one of the heads belongs to a Sensitive Group.  In all likelihood I don’t need to say this.  I have some of the best readers on the planet, and I trust that you can read between the lines, so my apologies if this came across as Condescending – but I feel it’s a necessary caveat.

In rediscovering the Ancient Reactionary Wisdom of benign sexism, racism, and classism that our Forefathers held to, it’s easy to fall prey to a Reductionist biological determinism.  One the one hand, it’s blindingly obvious that families, countries, and races have certain ingrained behaviours – why, I once knew a Native woman, adopted by a white family, who – despite her Waspish ways – still spoke with the stereotypical Native Cadence.  Me?  I speak with my hands.  Africans love dancing.  The Asians are taciturn.  Go figure, we’re different.

But let’s not ignore Environment.

I’ve linked before to Omnipitron’s thesis that blacks are the Canary in the Coalmine for feminism; allow me now to introduce you to Barbarossa’s take on what he calls ‘Spousification’ within the black community.

Is it not blindingly obvious that black dysfunction is largely a result of environment?  Feminism shattering of the family, a Hollywood-promoted culture of machismo, the denigration of Uncle Toms who “be actin’ white,” and so-called community leaders with all the charm and callowness of Senator Clay Davis?

The ultimate victims of Leftism are its Own Adherents.

A great deal of analysis out there misses the environmental factors – or at least, it doesn’t emphasize them enough… and quite frankly, this is understandable.  Every year the cries for racist wealth transfer grow louder, while the Truth about inter-racial violence is increasingly silenced.  Yelling about the Surface Facts which are being ignored, while failing to provide a deeper analysis, is, perhpas, justified.

Which brings me to this question: why all the hatred of the Jews?

It’s inevitable whenever you read a post about interracial violence, immigration, or the destruction of European culture, that somewhere in the comment section somebody will bring up Zionism and the Jewish Controlled Media.

I find this boggling.

Jews might be a lot of things as a race; they’re funny – they’re smart – and, yes, they’re certainly over-represented in Law and Banking… but Evil?  One of my closest friends is an Italian Jew, Libertarian at heart, who hopes to run as a Conservative; he grew up in poverty, and never told me about any Master Plan.  Then you get folks like Jerry Seinfeld, standing by Michael Richards when that man made the mistake of thinking that funny-on-screen would translate into funny-in-the-comedy-club.  From where I’m sitting, Jews look like Fine People Indeed.

And yet…

If you pound back a glass of whiskey and start reading through their evidence, it you can’t help but notice how often Jewish names pop up in the Circles of Power – Hollywood, foreign affairs, even Communism (the Bolsheviks were pretty ‘diverse’) – as often as not, you’ll find a Jewish presence amongst left-wing advocates.

So what exactly is going on?

Let’s pull back for a second and remember Crusaderism – that wonderful word coined by Captain Capitalism.  The salient points of a modern Crusader are:

1. They have a worthless under grad. The reason why this is important is it shows you, that early on in the person’s life they had no desire to be a contributing member of society. They wanted to major in fluff and by that sole act they are yelling at the world “I want the rest of you to take care of me while do what I want to do, not what you would pay me to do.”

2. Because they have a worthless degree, they then pursue careers that are not of the skill level, like say, flipping burgers or laying sod. No, their egos are much too big for that. They then go into law or politics or activism where they can champion some kind of “crusade.” This does two things, it bloats their precious little egos, but it also provides them a “moral defense” of sorts they can hide behind. So when a rugged, no-nonsense guy like me comes in and exposes them, they go and run and hide behind “the children,” “the environment,” “the poor,” “the oppressed,” etc. etc. etc.

3. They come from the richer castes of society, which affords them the luxury of protesting like an OWS protester.

Hmm…

A brief History lesson: during the Medieval and Middle Ages, with Christianity dominating Europe, money lending – ‘Usury’ – was banned amongst Gentiles.  The Jews – though they had proscriptions against lending within their community – took on this vital economic role, and eventually grew to be the Bankers of Europe.

That the Ashkenazi Jews have the highest IQ on the planet should be no surprise, given this evolutionary environment.

Meanwhile, the Jewish community, already isolated culturally and physically (the word ‘ghetto’ derives from the portions of cities where jews were allowed to live), became hated – as bankers, accounants, and insurance agents have always been hated – exacerbating the cultural divide.

And then, of course, you have The Holocaust; a foundational bedrock of our Cultural Mythos.  The Armenian Genocide, Rwanda, countless Communist attrocities – most people aren’t even aware that these things exist.  And yet proles who don’t know which war Hitler fought in, know as a Matter of Fact that America libertated the Jews in Auschwitz.

It’s the perfect setup, ain’t it?  High-IQ, wealthy, socially isolated, with the perfect brand of Victim stamped upon their shirt-sleeve from birth.  Jewish Conspiracy?  What are you, New?  Never assign to malice what can be explained by incompetence.

The Jews are not Evil – no more than Women are Evil because of Feminism – they’re just the perfect Useful Idiots for the Leftist memeplex to infect.

If your goal in life is to live in a community that’s 100% ethnically homogenous, then I wish you all the luck in the world – diversity shouldn’t be forced down anybody’s throat.  But that said, I’d appreciate it if you toned down the rhetoric.  I’m going to associate with, and marry, whomever I want.  I’m not beholden to some imagined Aryan Race.

White Nationalists – I get it.  You’re pissed off about the erosion of traditional European values, and I largely agree.  But could you please drop the lunatic conspiracy theories?  You’re making us all look like loons.

A condensed summation from Pravda:

Charles Milles Manson (born November 12, 1934) is an American criminal who led what became known as the Manson Family, a quasi-commune that arose in California in the late 1960s. He was found guilty of conspiracy to commit the Tate/LaBianca murders carried out by members of the group at his instruction. … [And eventually convicted] …

Manson believed in what he called “Helter Skelter,” a term he took from the song of the same name by The Beatles. Manson believed Helter Skelter to be an impending apocalyptic race war, which he described in his own version of the lyrics to the Beatles’ song. He believed his murders would help precipitate that war.

It takes a special sort of Lunatic to look forward to a race war: all the hordes of humanity hopped up on Sheer Hatred, murdering children with dull machetes… and in Manson’s case, it took a particularly Stupid Lunatic to think that murdering a handful of celebrities would be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Genocide requires a coherent external factor; be it the starvation which kicked off Rawanda and the Holocaust, or an institutionalized power which profits off of misfortune.  Manson had neither of these.  Quite frankly, I fail to understand why people find him so interesting.

What I do find interesting, however, is how the interest in him manifested.  A shot from the past, then – this is what the TV news used to look like:

Spare the 53 seconds, and watch all of it; the Press Secretary’s urgency is important.

Nixon’s faux pas was widely criticized by the media, and in fact it came back to bite his administration in the ass.  Again from Pravda:

On August 4, despite precautions taken by the court, Manson flashed the jury a Los Angeles Times front page whose headline was “Manson Guilty, Nixon Declares.” This was a reference to a statement made the previous day when U.S. President Richard Nixon had decried what he saw as the media’s glamorization of Manson.

For journalists, the use of ‘alleged’ is a matter of personal integrity.  For government agents, it’s a necessity of policy.

Ah, how times have changed.  By which I mean our culture has declined.

(CBS News) President Obama spoke out for the first time on Friday about the fatal shooting of an unarmed 17-year-old African-American boy in Florida named Trayvon Martin, calling it a “tragedy.”

“I can only imagine what these parents are going through,” Mr. Obama said from the White House Rose Garden, “and when I think about this boy, I think about my own kids, and I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together, federal, state and local, to figure out how this tragedy happened.”

This isn’t the first time Obama has done this.

Nixon, remember, was criticizing the media for it’s morbid obsession; his failure to use the word ‘alleged’ led to an immediate retraction by his Press Secretary, and harsh criticisms by said media.  Obama, meanwhile, feels entitled to repeatedly comment on how the cops ought to be behaving, when he knows little or nothing about the event in question.  It would seem that his only important Prior is the races involved; whenever a black person is victimized he demands that all the King’s Horses and all the King’s Men be tasked with making double-triple certain that it wasn’t white folk being rassist.

***

That Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman have become household names is a symptom of our times.  The story itself is even less interesting than Manson’s.  Put simply, a 30 year old neighbourhood watch captain, patrolling his neighbourhood after a series of burglaries, confronted a 17 year old whom he thought looked suspicious.  Violence ensued.  Two witnesses heard Zimmerman yelling for help, and saw Martin punching him in the face.  Neither deigned to help.  Eventually Zimmerman pulled out a pistol, and shot Martin once, killing him.

The police arrived on the scene, took Zimmerman’s pistol into evidence, and brought him back to the station to interview him.  Based upon his account, his injuries, the grass stains on his back, the eye witness testimonies, and the audio from an earlier 911 call, they decided not to press charges.  The facts all lined up.

You’d think it was a non-event; page A8, with a followup in the Sunday paper.  Especially when, this, this, and this happened during the same time frame.  But there was one single factor which made this newsworthy:: Trayvon Martin was black, and the media mistook Zimmerman for being white.  Local newspaper editors must have felt their first viagra-free erections in years.

***

The blogosphere’s been doing a good job of hammering down the specific details – click here or here if you’re curious – the more information that comes out, the more Zimmerman looks like a victim, and Martin looks like a scumbag.

***

The world’s in a Sad State when you have to rely on openly racist blogs to learn about systemic violence.

Mahogany Mobs is what they’re calling them (Flash Mobs is the term used by the media, but then we’d be lumping them in with pillow fights).  Ghetto-youth, organizing over Twitter, showing up for Beat Whitey Night at festivals and rich neighbourhoods; vandalism, theft, and hospitalizations.  All summer long, in city after city, while the MSM refuses to connect the dots – treating each incident as unique, and only reporting it locally.

Over on Stormfront they look on with glee, antipating the event which will trigger the race war.  They ask the question: what will happen when a carry/conceal white defends himself with Lethal Force?  That question is being answered

George Zimmerman may have been Hispanic, but his name is white enough; already the State Machinery is beginning to move, and the Black Panthers have put up a $10 000 bounty for Zimmerman’s ‘capture’.  This isolated incident – this personal tragedy for the families and neighbourhood involved – is exactly the sort of traction the Race Baiters of the world were looking for.  They Myth of Racism is a profitable one, you see, and those Advocates which promise you Cheese for Votes have never had your best interests at heart.

Feminism, Anti-racism, Housing Loans, Gay Rights, Anarcho-Tyranny, the Security State, take your pick – somewhere there’s a flavour of cheese for you, no matter how discerning your palette might be.  As our cities crumble around us the Jackals work up the Anger of the Mob, skimming off the top and laughing on their way to the bank.  Short-sighted and vicious, they break us apart, atomize us, and declare that Truth is derogatory.  They lie and cheat and steal while we celebrate their Depravity.

It’s almost enough to make you feel sorry for Charles Manson.  If only he’d known how to play the game as well as They..

And I’m just as bad as the worst of them.

But as captivating as it might be – watching their deft manipulation of the public, trying to spot the strings of the special interest groups, gambling on whom the Average Bear will choose – I know not to take it seriously.

Not that it isn’t serious, mind you – it’s deadly serious. The upcoming American Federal Election (which Obama is going to win) is going to send the world into an Evil Time. While it certainly won’t be the end of us (they couldn’t even kill off the dinosaurs on Jurassic Park, fer’ Christ’s sake!), the present Civlizational Nose Dive is arguably on par with the Burning of the Alexandrian Library.

Fascinating, ain’t it? It’s like watching Game of Thrones, with slightly less incest… and just as much influence over the plot.

“But- but- but-” I hear you gasp, “We need to do something- Vote for the least bad- Form coalitions- Use their tactics against them-”

Please, calm down, and listen for a second. I feel your pain, Brother, but I’m not being pessimistic – I’ve simply studied this Beast’s habits. And I’ve seen far too much sweat spilled over whether Romney or Santorum will hold us back from the edge – sweat spilled by Men who could have been working.

So: let explain why Democracy will fail (cribbing from my favourite Anti-Statist, Fringe Elements); the reasons can be summarized in four basic points.

1. Rational Ignorance. Because you only have one vote and won’t influence an election, it is rational for most people to not spend time researching the issues. Attempts to curb this problem could be to require a poll test, but that is full of obvious problems. Democracy depends on voters being informed on issues that they cannot have an impact on, which is to say democracy depends on voters being irrational.

Now I am going to presume that you, Dear Reader, are one of the most well-informed people you know when it comes to the subject of Politics (that you read This Site says mountains about your character). Furthermore, I’m also going to presume that you think importing a large numbers of illegal ailens is a Bad Idea for the Future of America.

With me so far?

Now imagine two hypothetical candidates; one argues that we must step-up border patrols, enforce Arizona-style ID checks, punish businesses for hiring illegals, and so forth. The other argues that we should end the drug war and thereby eliminate the corrupting influence of the cartels, thus allowing Mexico to return to a Civil state. This would remove the Incentives which drive Pablo to risk Theft, Rape, and Murder in his bid to reach the Land of the Free.

Now, I ask you: how long are you going to study these problems? Which plan are you going to choose? What probability do you assign to its success? Because, quite frankly, I have no clue.

Do you still think you’re well-informed enough to vote?

2. Package deals. When you buy things from a store, you get to be a la carte to a great degree. You don’t have to buy a complete kitchen set, you can buy the refrigerator and the microwave separately. The specificity depends on demand – few care to buy each component of a refrigerator separately, and so that stuff is harder to find.

With democracy, your only choice is between platforms that have a shot at winning, and this is usually only two or three and encompasses too many issues. Maybe you want school spending to be cut, and want unemployment insurance to be cut, but each candidate or party is only willing to cut one or the other, so you don’t get to truly vote your preference.

This point really stands on its own, but I ask you to consider the Republican Primary whom you hate the most. Can you really say that all of their policies disgust you? Or do you prefer them because the Net Difference tips them in your favour? Again, remember your own ignorance in this matter – what is your probability of being wrong?

Or maybe you’re choosing a particular candidate because you believe he has a shot against Obama. So let’s say your guy wins, and we have a President who is Slightly Less Evil.

Slightly Less Evil.

I trust you see the problem here.

3. Voting wars. Group A votes itself the resources of group B. Simple enough. Elections aren’t really a competition of ideas, because trying to get group A to vote for not getting free stuff from group B is not a contest, it’s begging a thief. Humans are moral animals, and so theft-rationalization industries develop, which rationalize the theft with marxoid economic theories, appeals to racial identity and collective intergenerational debt, and various other obtuse and roundabout justifications.

Here’s our problem; we aren’t interested in stealing from others. It’s certainly easy enough, nowadays – half the work and twice the pay as a Real Job – but even the MRAs, for all their talk Domestic Violence Shelters for Men, for removing Men’s Military Burden, and whatnot, at the end of the day all they really want is Just execution of the law, and accurate, non-politically-motivated Facts to be used in court.

I guess it’s just something about the Red Blood flowing through our veins; stay off our lawns, and we won’t shoot you. We ain’t interested in Thievery – we can get richer through Hard Work.

But try explaining that to someone in the Ghetto; that voting along racial lines won’t end up helping them in the long run. If they’ll even listen. They’re busy waiting in line for that Sweet, Sweet, Government Cheese.

4. Concentrated benefits, diffuse costs. When you cut unemployment insurance, you are no longer giving a concentrated group of people the money they need to survive, and many of them will die. This makes them extremely motivated in opposing cuts. Whereas the people paying for unemployment benefits won’t die from paying a little bit more.

The other day I saw an argument in a comment thread between two Men’s Rights supporters. The point of it was that if all of the MRAs banded together and voted Republican, then the Republicans would take up our cause.

No they wouldn’t.

Even assuming you could organize enough people, at best they’d just issue us our own flavour of Government Cheese.

We aren’t seeking our own special place within the State – we’re trying to get its corrupting influence Out Of Our Lives. We aren’t trying to make an income as Full Time Advocates on the public purse – we’re trying to eliminate the Advocates all together. There aren’t enough of us with the free time to do anything about this – and that is why the Left will always win.

If your goal is a civilized, peaceful society, free of huge power conglomerations (be they corporations or interest groups), Democracy is the Wrong Tool to Use. Sure, for a couple hundred years it seemed to work okay; so did Socialism in the EU.

They worked despite their flaws. Having a strong culture and an ethnically homogenous population will allow pretty much any system to pull off Civilization. Democracy didn’t make us Civilized – We made it Civilized – it was a system designed by the most Savage of the European races, and it should have been abandonded when their Empires imploded 2000 years ago.

History did not End in 1885, and you can’t turn back the clock. Democracy is our past, not our future.

But this doesn’t mean things are hopeless. Next time: Inter-Subjective Consensus.

We start with Trotsky and the New Soviet Man.

Communism in practice is a centralized bureaucracy with sufficient guns to carry out its plans.  They – the educated, chosen elite – unabashedly claim the Wisdom to direct all individual behaviour.  Their Scholarship, you see, has granted them Greater Insight into the human condition than any Priest could ever dream of.  They know what is best for you.  The transformation begins by use of force.

But this is only the beginning; ultimately the secret police and bureaucracy are intended to wither away, as the people internalize the dictates of the Chosen.

Thus you get the New Communist Man:

Man will make it his purpose to master his own feelings, to raise his instincts to the heights of consciousness, to make them transparent, to extend the wires of his will into hidden recesses, and thereby to raise himself to a new plain plane, to create a higher social biologic type, or, if you please, a superman.
~Leon Trotsky, Literature & Revolution

This inversion of Nietzche demands a reorientation of the individual; their loyalty to family, clan, and village must be washed away.  Their selfish desired must be purged, as they glorify self-sacrifice for the state.  The ideologies of love and trust must be realligned, from individual to collective.  The Collective is the arbiter of Morality; Morality is whatever serves the Collective.

Contrast for a moment to Robert A. Heinlein’s argument for military service:

I now define “moral behavior” as “behavior that tends toward survival.” I won’t argue with philosophers or theologians who choose to use the word “moral” to mean something else, but I do not think anyone can define “behavior that tends toward extinction” as being “moral” without stretching the word “moral” all out of shape.
…
Selfishness is the bedrock on which all moral behavior starts and it can be immoral only when it conflicts with a higher moral imperative. An animal so poor in spirit that he won’t even fight on his own behalf is already an evolutionary dead end; the best he can do for his breed is to crawl off and die, and not pass on his defective genes.
…
The next higher level is to work, fight, and sometimes die for your own immediate family. This is the level at which six pounds of mother cat can be so fierce that she’ll drive off a police dog. It is the level at which a father takes a moonlighting job to keep his kids in college — and the level at which a mother or father dives into a flood to save a drowning child … and it is still moral behavior even when it fails
~RAH, The Pragmatics of Patriotism

Here you see the fundamental difference between the Right and the Left.  The Right asks the questions: What is reality?  What is justified?  The progressive Right tries to understand the human condition, to anticipate how shifting technologies and environments will impact behaviour.  The conservative Right acknowledges tradition.  It cautions against leaving the beaten path, suggesting we try and see if there’s value in centuries-old practices before we throw out the baby with the bath water.

The Right understands that at the base of reality is Starvation and Violence; that we are creatures of hunger and passion, and no ammount of Positive Thinking will rectify a failed harvest.

The Left, meanwhile, lives in the world of the Matrix: 2+2=4 is a cultural perspective.  Human nature is malleable.  We can reprogram reality to suit our preferences.  We can build the New Soviet Man.

Thus, the violence.

To build the New Man, we must first wash away the old.  Heinlein’s statement about the mother cat: that cat holds certain values higher than the Collective, she will selfishly defend her offspring with no thoughts for the police dog.

This cannot be allowed.

So with carrot and stick wielded akimbo, the Left attacks the family.  Benefits for single mothers, interventionist Police State for married couples.  Drive a wedge between Woman and Man; drive a wedge between Parent and Child.  Such selfish Capitalism cannot be tolerated.

Next comes Religion; infect the church, alienate the congregation.  Any claim to Objective Morality is a threat to their ethos of Worldly Transcendence.  Rebrand Faith in the Collective as Atheism (just as disingenuous as their rebranding of Nietzche).  Reinterpret the Religious Canon so that Charity means Statism.  Paint as radical any sect which disagrees with the status quo by using their words; paint as victim any sect which attacks with violence.

Finally, race and class; a natural outgrowth.  From Loyalty to Family, you get Loyalty to Race and Community.  This is an anathema to the Universality Ethos.  Co-opt the ‘lesser’ race, by rewriting their history; undermine the ‘stronger’ race by labelling their in-group loyalty as evil.

Atomize All the Brutes.

A rejection, then, of the natural bonds which turn individuals into strong collectives through family, friendship, and community.  Instead, a flattened world of broken Atoms, forged into a collective, unthinking whole.

An aside on the Frankfurt School, the originators of Cultural Marxism, the ideologues who went beyond mere economic disempowerment, and applied the ideas directly to culture.

The name comes from the Nazis, who kicked the Great Founders of this movement out of Germany in 1933.  Fascism, as you may know, comes from the Latin root Fasces – a bundle of sticks tied together to create a formidable axe handle.  Strength Through Unity is an ancient saying, and the Fasces was a representation of it.

Fascism is founded upon this premise; it takes the organic unit of the family, and builds upon those natural loyalties, projecting them onto the State.  Fascism is bottom-up; Communism is top-down.

Is it any wonder that they despised the Marxists so much more than us?

***

The Southern Poverty Law Centre, a group of Marxist, Race co-opters, have delcared InMalaFide as dangerous, a representation of the Evil Right Wing.  In discussing the broader Manosphere, the  SPLC says:

While some of them voice legitimate and sometimes disturbing complaints about the treatment of men, what is most remarkable is the misogynistic tone that pervades so many.

We point out the violence meted out to innocents through false rape claims.  We point out the psychological harm done to children through no fault divorce.  We point out the systemic abuse of males, and the ultimate costs this will have on society.

And yet these acts of outright violence pale in comparison to our tone.

A cop isn’t afraid of criminals.  Criminals know not to assault them; the risks are too high.  The nightmare which causes the cop to wake up in cold sweats is not about a gangbanger – it is the Nightmare of an Armed and Unafraid Citizenry.  Such a Citizen is equally dangerous to the criminal, and the no-knock-warrant.  Pistol by his side, he need fear No Man, not even the State.  A marriage, then; both sets of criminals against the Red Blooded Man.  For the cop knows that the greater the crime, the greater the overtime.

Like the Crooked Cop, the Left doesn’t care about injustice, about the misery of broken families, the rape of women, or individual economic devastation.  Far from it.  The more miserable society becomes, the greater their funding, and the greater the atomization.  Welfare for Blacks, to create systemic poverty.  Slutwalks, so that women will put themselves at risk.  Divorce, to create a group of dysfunctional children.

They profit off the violence.

But there is one weapon which can be used against them.  A weapon so terrifying and devasting, they are waging a desperate rear-guard action to try and circumvent it.  They – the Mind Police and Meatfuckers – are terrified of one thing:

Free Thought.

Allow me to finish with a quote from the Great Gonzo Journalist H.L. Mencken:

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him. If it be aristocratic in organization, then it seeks to protect the man who is superior only in law against the man who is superior in fact; if it be democratic, then it seeks to protect the man who is inferior in every way against both. One of its primary functions is to regiment men by force, to make them as much alike as possible and as dependent upon one another as possible, to search out and combat originality among them. All it can see in an original idea is potential change, and hence an invasion of its prerogatives. The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.

We’ll win this war yet.

It seems the /b/tards are all worked up over a new Activist Organization which looks like an Election Campaign.  Allow me to introduce you to Kony 2012:

First: a little bit of background.

Joseph Kony is your run-of-the-mill African Warlord.  He rapes women and children (and probably men), kidnaps children after forcing them to murder their parents, turns them into child soldiers, and likes slicing off their noses.  Like most Warlords, he’s a self-declared Christian Prophet.  Originally from Uganda, in 2008 his army was shattered and he was pushed back into the jungle during a joint operation between the Ugandan, the Southern Sudanese, and the DR Congo forces, with the planning and support of the US military.

He was also listed under the 39 Terrorist Organizations declared Enemies of the State by Colin Powell back in December, 2001.  Which is bizarre, but not really relevant.

In other words, he might stand a chance against Santorum in the Republican Primaries, but Romney would crush him.  He’s a nobody; just another sad example of life on the Dark Continent.

So why all the attention in recent days?  This is where things get interesting.

1. Grassroots, or Astroturf?

As I’ve said, Kony is nothing new; he’s been plying his Miserable Trade since the early nineties, at the very least.  But with the release of a student documentary just a few days ago, his name has exploded all over the Internet.

A viral video?  Possibly.  The earlier spikes correspond to US Actions delineated by the Pravda Wiki.  Maybe people are just too stupid to go viral because of written facts, and the video-format is necessary… but my tinfoil hat is itching, nonetheless.

Coincidence One: Last October, Obama deployed 100 Spec-Ops to the region for an ‘armed humanitarian mission’.  Given how long the Kony Problem has been going on, this is noticeably tight time-frame.

Coincidence Two: London-based Oil Company Tullow has signed a deal with the Ugandan government.  From the article:

Uganda’s Oil Minister Irene Muloni said Tullow had accepted the government’s revisions to “stabilisation clauses” which are included in the contracts to protect companies from future losses if the government alters tax laws.

Note that the “stabilisation clauses” are regulatory in nature – in other words, the goal is to make the business regular – they’re not specifically political.  But then again, having an Internation Criminal put down Like a Dog would certainly help stability.

Obama’s suffering in the polls right now; taking aggressive action against the only African Dictator the college set knows about would certainly help him in the youth polling.  Conspiracy?  Astroturf?  Maybe, maybe not.  But either way – if this thing catches on, don’t be surprised if the Commander in Chief jumps into another Foreign Adventure.

2. Activists and Crusaders

I’ve always hated Activists.  Even back when I was a Good Little Canadian Socialist, I couldn’t stand the protesters all over my campus.  It doesn’t matter what the cause is, these people form rallies at the drop of a hat.  Something about them just seems off.

Enter the Captain, to explain what’s wrong with them psychologically.  They are Crusaders – rich kids with nothing better to do, who need to feeel important.

There are two things you can count on with a Crusader: first off, they’re remarkably ignorant.  In this case, these morons never cared about Africa before this, and they’ve never studied the socio-economic realities that create monsters like Kony in the first place.  Second of all, they never have a real plan for how to deal with the ‘issue’, defaulting to the stance of “raise awareness, and give more power to government!”

Last night, while simultaneously arguing with, and trolling these morons, their only proposed solution was sending in the Canadian military to deal with him – a military they’d never deign to serve in.

So: another hopeless foreign war, in a jungle no less, where my brothers-in-arms are forced to Kill Children to reach the Final Boss?  Then what?  Thousands of psychologically destroyed child-soldiers, with little-to-no-hope of re-integrating into society, who wind up repeating the Sins of the Father ten years down the road?  Canadian blood, and Canadian money for a society that’s unable to govern itself?

“At least we’re doing something!  Something’s better than nothing!”

I got called “baby killer” back in the day, even though we never fought in Vietnam.  Why would we want to make this a reality?

Cowards, idiots, and armchair generals.  These dipshits were actually tweeting our Mayor – our Mayor for God’s Sake! – at 1 in the morning.  What a bunch of narcissists.

3. White Man’s Burden

Four-hundred years ago Whites colonized Africa, and brought the Africans civilization.  Over the past hundred, we were told that they did not want us there anymore.  So we left.  And this happened.

Welfare tends to be destructive of any group that it touches, and I’m prepared to remain agnostic on the disaster that is African Society – certainly, the majority of UN ‘aid’ to Africa undercuts their ability to develop a local economy… and that’s precisely my point!

These Activists are demanding that Western Governments take part in an internal, African matter.  That we send troops, and social workers, and strategists, and policy makers.  That we re-invent White Man’s Burden, while keeping Black Puppets in charge to assuage the African Ego.

Could anything be more condescending?

In The Wretched of the Earth Fanon made the argument that it is time for Africans to make their own mistakes, to learn to stand on their own two feet.  And I’m prepared to let them.  I’ve had more than enough Blacks tell me how Evil and Racist I am for trying to bring them Civilization, even though none of my peasant Italian blood ever did anything but die in WWI.

Will the Blacks succeed?  I have no idea.  A lot of people would say no… but then again, Mansa Musa was one hell of a competetive bastard in Civ IV.

This is not WWII.  This is not the Holocaust.  This is none of our goddamned business.  In a sane world, we’d allow the Africans an honest attempt at building their own Civilization.  But with the Meatfuckers we have in charge, that’s never going to happen.

Be ready for another pointless war that destabilizaes an Entire Region.  That seems to be Obama’s specialty.

From his scale:

Sigma: The outsider who doesn’t play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow. I’ve found that sigmas and Alphas usually work out to be excellent friends because the Alpha never feels that his social dominance is threatened by the sigma.  The Sigma is an alpha-like character that the Alpha can connect with, but never fear his own status being undone. Everyone else is vaguely confused by them. In a social situation, the sigma is the man who stops in briefly to say hello to a few friends accompanied by a Tier 1 girl that no one has ever seen before. Sigmas like women, but tend to be contemptuous of them. They are usually considered to be strange. Gammas often like to think they are sigmas, failing to understand that sigmas are not social rejects, they are at the top of the social hierarchy despite their refusal to play by its rules.

That’s me, alright; the sideways-Alpha.  I can go out on Friday and act like Tucker Max for the night, but trying to keep that up all weekend?  No thank you, sir.  I’ve got better shit to do.  Hey, if that Harem Handling floats your boat I’m not judging, it’s just that I take more pleasure in making a particularly stupid woman cry through Philosophical Evisceration, than using my Evil Rakish Ways to seduce her.

What can I say?  I’m easily bored.  As a consequence, I tend to go for LTRs.  If I can tolerate them for a night, I can tolerate them for a month or six.   My contact with the opposite sex is therefore sporadic at best; in describing them, I infer from diverse data points.  Usually this works extremely well.  But the problem with Inference, is it only let’s you see what’s going on inside of the data.

A while back, I hit the nail on the head for women in the 25-35 range.  Nowadays, if you’re dating a University Grad, it doesn’t matter how much of a Good Girl she is; you will be shit tested constantly.  Game is a requirement to date, let alone get laid.

But what about the latest crop of youngsters?  It turns out that there was a whole Continent I was missing.  Let’s just say that latest partner is outside the “Half your age plus seven” metric, and dating her has opened my eyes.

The other night I was sitting down with my best friend – a Sigma of the Sanguine disposition.  I manage to work the Badboy Gonzo Journalist into a decent amount of tail, but he’s managed to one up me: he’s a Standup Comedian.  You wouldn’t believe the number of groupies you get when your art has a public setting.

Nonetheless, in True Sigma Fashion, he’s dating a hot 22 year old waitress instead of playing with all the Danger Pussy he meets on the road.

So after we had a chance to pour our whiskey and sit down, I said to him, “Good God, man – do you have any idea what’s going on with 18 year old girls nowadays?  They’re fucking crazy!”

“I know,” he said, “That’s what I was trying to tell you a couple of months back.  I guess you just needed to see it for yourself.”

“My friend – are we, or are we not, a couple of degenerate libertines?”

“I think it’s pretty safe to say that we are.”

“Damn straight.  My sex life is so disgusting, that it’s not fit for public consumption – and yet this girl’s already done weirder stuff than I have.  Say, do you remember back in our twenties when anal sex was taboo?”

“Of course, remember that Asian girl I told you about?  Jesus – you used to get called a pervert just for asking for it!”

“Exactly.  Nowadays it’s just assumed.”

“Like I said, man – these kids nowadays are crazy.”

There’s been a lot of noise made recently about the effects of ubiquitous porn on Young Men.  As is their wont, the MSM has it completely backwards, blaming porn for giving men ‘porn starlet’ expectations that women just aren’t able to meet, no matter how kinky they get, and leading to erectile dysfunction in men.

This, of course, is stupid on its very face (though excess masturbation is a valid concern); we all know that women are the choosers.  Us men don’t get to demand what sort of sex we receive, we just hope for the best.  And besides that, for us an orgasm is an orgasm.

But a generation of women raised on bizarre porn..?

There’s a debate going on about who wants sex more – men or women?  Quite frankly, there’s no answer to that question.  We’re talking about apples and oranges.  Men have sex for the act itself.  Women do it for the catharsis.  Men want casual sex with anyone, women want casual sex just as badly, but are extremely picky about who it’s with.  Trying to compare these different methodologies is a crapshoot.

There is one thing we can say for certain, however – women have the potential to enjoy sex more than we do.  Not just from multiple orgasms – not just from multiple partners – not just from multiple holes – remember, a woman’s enjoyment of sex is primarily cathartic in nature.  It’s not about whether or not she orgasms, it’s about how Depraved and Dominated she can be.  And that’s one helluva steep asymptote.

The Story of O pretty much nailed it, and nowadays teenage girls are watching BDSM porn to their little heart’s content.  The only problem is, that a woman who’s a perpetual ball of Orgasmium doesn’t make much of a wife.

PMAFT quotes some comments showing how fed-up Young Men are getting with the current crop of young women out there.  While these Nubile Bundles of Sex Pheromones might seem like a Hedonists’ Dream Come True, they’re anything but.  Sexuality that rampant is utterly uncontrollable – Love is a pale, tattered thing compared to it, unable to restrain it.  Young women today are little more than drug addicts, viewing all around them as means to an end, rather than ends in themselves.

Of course they use you.

Women of my generation – the tail end of Gen X – are an absolute mess.  They’re deluded, entitled, bitchy, masculine, and there’s a fifty-fifty shot the’ll cheat on you and play you for a fool.

The Millenials make them look good.

With a Millenial woman, it’s not a fifty-fifty chance they’ll cheat on you – it’s a bloody guarantee.  They’re wild little sex monkeys, running loose in society, with a support structure that absolves them of any responsibility.  They can be a lot of fun (I rather like mine, she’s a sweet little thing) but a ‘relationship’ isn’t something that even Exists for these creatures.  Pure, uncontrolled Id is all they are.  You want to keep one around?  Fuck her so hard that her eyes are crossed and she’s pissing herself.  Let up for too long, and she’ll find another cock to bounce on.

That’s a tall order for Young Men who aren’t born naturals; learning Game will help you lads, but ultimately Age and Experience is what you need to steer you through the hurdles they toss up.  Every Dog Has His Day – never forget that.  Take all the shit you eat in High School, and turn it into a learning experience.  Men age like wine, women age like milk – by the time you get to be old like me, things will be looking up.

I almost feel sorry for all the women who’ll end up alone in their old age.

Almost.
