Normally, we would greet a Monday morning with horror and despair, because that means the end of another weekend, and the start of another week of work-related drudgery. We would greet the day with long faces, remembering how miserable it can be to work for someone else to get your monthly pay packet.
Not today.
This is the 106th anniversary of the end of the War to End All Wars. At 1100 on November 11th, 1918, the guns on the Western Front finally fell silent, ending four years of carnage and slaughter, the likes of which no civilised man in Europe had ever seen up to that point. (The Russians will rather disagree with that, given what they went through during the Crimean War – see Leo Tolstoy‘s Sevastopol’ Sketches – but that is another story.)
As I have written before, the world was never the same again. The innocence, opulence, and beauty of the antebellum period had been irretrievably shattered. European civilisation had reached its highest point of refinement, culture, and strength in the years leading up to the outbreak of the Great War in 1914. It never recovered, and never could.
Death stalked Europe for four years, with bayonet, bullet, shot, and shell. Death continued to grip and paralyse Europe well into 1920, thanks to plague and pestilence. An entire generation of men was left psychologically scarred – and tens of millions of families were left bereaved without their sons.
It was a catastrophe unlike anything we had ever seen before. And we then went in for another round of war, 20 years later, that resulted in even more horrifying casualties, even more death, and even greater suffering.
If ever there was proof that this world is ruled by the Prince of Lies, that 30-year period of Hell on Earth was it.
So today, let us take a moment of solemn silence to remember the dead of the Great War – so that we do not repeat the mistakes that killed them.
The Mighty God-Emperor
His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, was magnanimous in victory last Tuesday, after winning convincingly across every metric:

Poli-Ticking Off
Mark Dice has been extremely busy salt-mining in the wake of the God-Emperorโs TRUMPSLIDE:
Honestly, has the man even SLEPT since Nov 05???
We must also give Mark his due. He has worked TIRELESSLY since the catastrophe of 2020 to get the message out and sound the alarm about the Daemoncrats stealing and corrupting Americaโs unique form of government. The 2024 TRUMPSLIDE is the culmination, and the vindication, of all his hard work.
The Trumpasaurus is the Ur-Alpha, the legendary general who won the victory. But Mark, and thousands like him, were the foot-sloggers who fought the battles. They made their names to SHINE!!!
The very-thoroughly-married couple at Redacted think the TRUMPSLIDE!!! is going to carry over up north, in Canuckistan, and finally depose Justine โCastroโs Bastardโ Truvada:
Iโll believe it when I see it. As long as there are millions of Pajeets, and millions of horny women, allowed to vote in Canuckistan, Truvada will still have a power base.
PJW probably hasnโt slept in days, either, thanks to the sheer epicness of the TRUMPSLIDE!!!:

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about the need for realism around T-Rexโs foreign policy:
We have some very good news now, though. The God-Emperor is NOT going to include Mike Pompeo โ liar, neoclown, and criminal โ in his next Administration. And that is VERY much to the benefit of the country.
The neoclowns are taking some serious Ls up their thermal exhaust ports, which is great for the rest of us.
Polonium
Ania Konieczek talks to Larry Johnson about the odds of a serious shake-up of the Fibbies and Foggy Bottom:
Personally, I think the God-Emperor should dismantle the entire FBI and cast the Fibbies all into perdition โ down to the last man or woman โ and never allow them to be resurrected again. The organisation is so corrupt, so rotten, so evil, that this is the only solution.
And the same holds true for the CIA.
To be clear, the FUSA needs both a domestic security agency, AND a foreign intelligence agency. But spying en masse on American citizens, and jailing American citizens for poasting memes, is entirely beyond the pale.

Reading Too Much Into Things
Your long read of the week is via The Male Brain, and is an article by Yuval Levin about what it might take to save higher adolt edjoomuhcayshun:
As the left in general has grown less liberal, thoughโby which I mean less tolerant of dissenting views and less interested in the defense of unpopular opinionsโthese academics have found it more difficult to articulate the traditional academic ethos. In losing the vocabulary of liberalism to the terminology of radicalism, they have allowed the universityโs self-understandingโits own description of its purposeโto be defined in the terms of the academic revolutionaries. So while many professors continue to do the traditional work of pursuing knowledge and forming students in its light, many questions of policy and administration in the university are resolved by, or in the direction of, the academic revolutionaries. Those revolutionaries have therefore gradually become the administrators of the academy. So when questions arise about what the university should be, they decide the answers.
The university was not destroyed, but rather transformed, by the revolution of the past half-century. It has kept its trappings but replaced its ethos. The titles, the modes of governance, the deans and faculty senates, the tenure, the graduation gowns, and the ivy-covered buildings are still there. But they are now mostly populated by men and women with a very different understanding of the goals of the institution from that of their predecessors a few generations ago.
It is crucial to grasp this character of the revolution if the modern-day champions of the traditional academic vision are going to fight back effectively, because fighting back effectively will need to mean reinhabiting the universityโpopulating regions of its faculty and administration with traditional academics again. In a sense, it will demand that academic traditionalists do some of what the revolutionaries did: act on a critique of the institution not by burning it down but by finding ways to occupy it and then to transform it from within.
The cost of failing to understand this character of the challenge would be grave. It would cause todayโs traditionalists to fight against the university rather than to fight for the universityโto risk destroying what they love in the very effort to save it.
To avoid that, they have to admit that they do love the university. People who are willing to put up with what todayโs dissenting academic traditionalists endure in order to teach and learn can be acting only out of love, or else they are afflicted with a form of madness. But they also have to reckon with how this institution they love has been deformed: not just with the results of its deformation, but with the ways in which it came about.
The structure of Bickelโs anecdote offers a useful framework for thinking about the struggle for the soul of the university. He described it as a struggle between insiders and outsiders, between defenders and invaders. But in the early 1970s, he could already see the beginnings of a reversal of roles. That reversal is now thoroughly advanced.
The academic traditionalists, who are naturally inclined to think as insiders both in the university and in the larger society, are now outsiders. The revolutionaries, who are naturally inclined to operate as critics, are insiders, the people who run things. The traditionalists have to move from the outside to the inside somehow and take responsibility for the future of the institutions the radicals have dominated and corrupted.
Seeing the struggle for the university in this light can clarify the challenge that academic traditionalists now confront. And it can also help us think about the latest phase of that challenge, which is just beginning.

- The FedGov continues to insist that developers must stop using C/C++ – even though the deficiencies in the language really come down to shitty programming practices, not the language itself;
- A Lebanese man convicted of murdering four Jews in a synagogue in the 1980s, is now a professor in (where else?) Canuckistan โ a country that publicly honoured an actual Ukrainian Nazi, so whatโs new;
- The โStrayans are planning on banning social media for kids under the age of 16 โ which may not be quite as terrible an idea, considering the source;
MUH RUSHIAN KAHLOOOOOOOZHUN!!!
The Neo-Tsar gave a masterclass in leadership and philosophy at the Valdai conference last week โ and he congratulated the God-Emperor for his courage and political skill as well:
Yes, that is a FOUR AND A HALF HOUR video. The Putin is fully capable of speaking for that long, without going loopy from low blood sugar. Keep in mind, the dude is SEVENTY TWO YEARS OLD. Yet he is more than capable of handling a schedule that would put men HALF his age into an early grave.

Finally, here is your Instathot for the day, recommended to us by Dawn Pine. This here is Maria Arreghini, age 25 from Milan, Italy, and she shows us all exactly why we love the Eyeties so much around here. She is an actress and TV presenter, who doesโฆ well, I donโt have a clue what, exactly.
Apparently, her father is a sculptor, her mother is a cook, and her brother is a musician. So you can kind of see where her aesthetic comes from. Her superstructure is STUPENDOUS โ thereby proving the wisdom of La Sofiaโs (apocryphal) statement that โeverything you see, I owe to spaghettiโ.
Actually, if you look at the most recent pictures, you could probably make the argument that she consumed a little too much of Mamaโs pizza and spag-bol, but we might be a little mean to say that.
OK, lads, thatโs it for today, back to work now.

You mention Dawn Pine here every week. Do you provide links to her site and other sites referenced? I can’t find Dawn Pine out in the wild. She’s only mentioned here. I can’t find the Male Brain either. Thanks.
Dawn Pine and The Male Brain are actually one and the same person. He lives in Israel and is an old friend of mine. He used to write regularly as a contributor to the old Return of Kings website, back before Roosh walked away from the scene. Nowadays, he sends over a lot of material to me for the Monday compilations, and also provides guest posts from time to time. He comes from a somewhat different perspective than I do, particularly with respect to things like Gaza and the socio-sexual marketplace – he is an Orthodox Jew, I am a Christian, so we do think differently – but I have great respect for him.
How is it possible that “T&A: Freezer Burn Edition” has reigned as the most popular post for 2 solid years now? What kind of SEO voodoo is that?
It’s an excellent question. If memory serves, I THINK what happened was that the poast in question got linked by Western Rifle Shooters Association – they occasionally pick up things on my site that are of interest, and on those days, I might see my traffic spike up from 200-400 views a day, to closer to 800. In that particular instance… well, the eye-candy on display was particularly appealing, let’s put it that way, so I guess a LOT of the male viewership of that site really appreciated it.
There is a REASON why the Rooskees and the Eyeties are such mainstays of that series.
