Being Smart About Going Against The Grain

We live in a very weird political and social climate. Things that would have gotten you a “no shit dumbass” look had you said 100 or even 50 years ago can ruin your life today. For example men are different than women. Again even 20 years ago you’d get a look like “Uh yeah, no kidding” whereas 20 years from now you’ll probably be beaten before being sent off to a reeducation camp. Again weird times. We’re certainly living in a emperors has no clothes scenario where everyone notices the obvious truths and yet are too afraid to say anything.

Except here the emperor and his crazies throws you in jail instead of admitting he has no clothes. This is ridiculous but it is also the world that we live in. I know people like to blame all sorts of things for this from feminism, to certain groups, to more the fact of the matter is this has resulted from the weakness of men nothing more and nothing less. But that’s a topic for another time. For now we have to find ways to live, survive, and even thrive in these weird times realizing it’ll be some time before they change.

Never Underestimate Crazy

I hear a lot of gurus and guys talk about how if you’re anonymous then you shouldn’t be trusted and that you’re not “authentic” whatever the hell that means. I can partly identify with them but then another part of me thinks they regret choosing the alternative politics/manosphere hill to die on. I may be wrong but I know that this isn’t for everyone. I’ve seen many who have had to shut down their sites and just about everyone who has written for me using their real name has asked me to take it down which I understand completely, this has happened five or six times so far. There is a lot of crazy out there and they should not be underestimated.

People have had their lives ruined and even attacked because they said the wrong thing or believed the wrong thought. I think things are starting to get a little better (only because men are starting to get stronger, there is a direct correlation between the two) but we still live in a very dicey social and political climate. Right now it’s best to parrot the party line and do your real work in the shadows. Stay anonymous and live your life. This isn’t for everyone again but I think it’s the best decision for most. Again don’t underestimate how crazy the opposition is and how the highers ups will enforce their psychotic will because it fits their own ends.

Build Strength For A New Day

Also I’m not saying that those that are not anonymous are stupid or anything like that. Many are brave and my hats off to them even though I wouldn’t follow in their footsteps. Anyways my advice when going against the grain is to keep it under wraps and do so only with those you trust or anonymously. There are far more people who think the current social and political climate is B.S. everyday however the crazies still “have the high ground” at least for the time being and can still wreck havoc in your life. For those who have families, children, and careers this can cause tons of damage.

Simply for thinking the wrong thing. Yes, this is ridiculous but this is what happens when the strength of men fades. I think attacks against alternative ways of thinking (which generally translates to tradition ways of thinking (i.e. how humans have thought for at least 6,000 years) are only going to increase. A wounded crazed animal strikes out the most when it’s cornered and knows its end is coming soon. Don’t get caught up in these lashings.

Stay Safe

The pressure is being applied and progress is being made. I’m not saying there’s never a time to stand tall and go against the grain but I don’t think that time is quite yet for the average guy with a mortgage, family, and a “life” to lose. There are also tons of pied pipers and false prophets to be wary of. Again as with any other time on earth you have to be smart and have to stay safe. This is just my two cents on the topic (which can really be said of anything I write, it’s my two cents, nothing more and nothing less).
