I didn’t expect McGregor to win though I wanted him too. After all he’s Irish and a striker, therefore someone I can identify somewhat with. Khabib’s a great fighter and as a fighter and man he has my respect. He simply outfought McGregor who looked slow and out of it. Nothing to dispute there. I think McGregor let the money, hype, and his pride get to him. I think a rematch would be great because McGregor’s pride (assuming he is still the same) would drive him to move heaven and earth to never be humiliated in such a way again, not that he’d necessarily win but it’d be a great fight with two great fighters. But that isn’t what this is about.
As you’ve likely heard there was a fight after the match. With Khabib leaping over the octagon to fight someone from McGregor’s crew and then two of Khabib’s boys striking at McGregor (who was striking at Khabib’s brother after Khabib leapt out of the ring). Which has caused a whole bunch of “controversy” and well as social commentary. Now there are some things that run very deep in all of this that have some potent lessons (especially for white people).
The Reaction
So let’s start by covering the reaction. So on one side you have people saying it was unprofessional of Khabib to leap out and fight like he did (mostly white people) and on the other side you have white cuckolds (because they loved seeing Conor defeated), members of every other race, and of course Muslims saying it was “street rules” (as if they knew what this meant) and about honor (striking closer to home). Essentially you have the clash of two world views coming about. On one hand you have people who value freedom of speech and the rule of law and others who value their perception of honor. So what does this mean for any of us?
Well some important things are revealed here. First off I want to point out two reactions by two groups of people whites and Muslims. Essentially to a man Muslims were behind Khabib and saw Khabib’s victory as their own. After all Conor has trashed talked Islam and Khabib’s family. I am 100% in agreement with and understand Muslim’s love of this victory. Most hispanic and black people were also with Khabib. First and foremost because Conor is white and second because they value honor above rule of law. Which again I am in agreement with.
Now you have two types of white people (essentially). You have whites who see this as a professional fight and a sport instead of a gang match. And saw the actions as unprofessional. Then you have whites who are just happy that the white guy got beat and want to virtue signal to Muslims, blacks, and hispanics that they’re with them. This includes conservatives, alt-rights, and so on and so forth who all reek of weakness.
The Lessons
First off white people need to understand that there’s no such thing as being neutral. They need to either band together or die. I feel a white civil war will come soon in the United States as well as Europe to sort this out, but only time will tell and not what this is about. Second white people need to understand that honor and tribe comes before rule of law and they need to understand that other people are not like them. For example on Twitter one guy was saying “Freedom of speech and freedom to get your ass whooped go hand in hand”. Obviously this makes no sense from a the angle of the law but it makes perfect sense from an honor perspective. But here’s the thing.
You have these people who want “street rules” not realizing that the Marines storming Fallujah is “street rules”, the Confederate South is “street rules”, the conquest of South America is “street rules”, and so on and so forth. It was the rule of law that saved those being conquered in each case and the reason they weren’t completely exterminated. Yet many of these same groups rail against this rule of law when it’s not in their favor and then cling to it when it is. Don’t get me wrong this is smart and a good strategy but you see the issue. They want honor when they win and mercy and law when they lose.
Whites have done this before too, it’s human nature. And while I’m sure I’ve pissed everyone off by now it’s important to see things as they are, as everyone can learn from all of this. And in order for everyone to live together somewhat “peacefully” you need rule of law. But obviously being humans honor is going to rule above that (as it should) which is going to lead to problems down the road. What happens when white Americans and Europeans become honor bound again (assuming they don’t die out first)? They conquer the entire damn world that’s what. But I doubt that’ll happen as whites cling to their ideals and “individuality” and will do so until their extinction.
Uncomfortable Words But Harsh Truths
Now I know some of you may be saying “Damn Charles it was just a fight” and you’re right but you’re also wrong because it’s never “just a fight”. There is always intense national, racial, religious, tribal, and other prides going on in the background. Whites may not think this but it’s because whites have been divorced from nature for too long. So like I was saying a balance of honor and rule of law is what’s best for everyone but as we see neither side wants that. Events like these are simply microcosms of society at large.
Another thing that popped up was McGregor mocking Islam and therefore “deserved what he got”, like Charlie Hebdo. Again blacks and hispanics were in agreement with this (probably just as much that Conor’s white as to do with honor but maybe not) while most whites were against this. Two worldviews that just aren’t compatible. And something’s going to give. Again a compromise between the two would be best for everyone involved, but it’s not going to happen. So the question is what happens next?
Also as a note I’m not saying either side is “right” as that’s really a relative term. Western society is decadent and in need of a reckoning but that doesn’t mean I agree with alternatives. So again we’ll see what happens. Until then become as strong as you can. Lift, fight, train, read, build connections, make families, and prepare for the future whatever it may be.
Also none of us talking would last a minute in the ring with either fighter. See plenty of boys talking smack about both fighter when they’ve never seen the inside of an octagon. They’re both great and have contributed to UFC and mixed martial arts as a whole. And I hope to see them both compete for some time to come. And would love to have half of either man’s talent. And both sides have obnoxious fanboys who couldn’t punch their way out of a paper bag. More McGregor but Khabib’s have been out in full force now too.
Anyways the whole point here is finding a balance between rule of law and honor for a prosperous and somewhat peaceful society for everyone. The people who yell “street rules” the loudest are the ones that would suffer the most if “street rules” were actually implemented by all parties involved. And second a society that does not have honor as a major part of it will never prosper as well.
