“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

The Cost of the Red Pill

As bojangles found out, it can sometimes be severe: The psyche here comes from Indian families and how they work. By the age of 23-24 your parents/uncles/aunts and practically everyone in the generation above you is on your ass about getting married and finding a...

Be a Man: Learn to Shoot

This one will demonstrate exactly why much of my immediate family thinks that I’ve gone off the deep end and am some kind of America-loving wannabe deep-fried redneck hillbilly. Can’t say I care, I’ve wanted to do this for years. As far as I’m...

Solitude and pain

Apparently aliens are stealing my thoughts while I sleep. That is the only explanation that my cold-addled brain can come up with right now for the phenomenon I have just witnessed. First, Bill Powell wrote a truly excellent post on what happens when you take the Red...

FEAR

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will allow fear to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner-eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone,...

The Pedestal Shatters…

Women in combat- how can this possibly go wrong???

Now if this were ancient Sparta, and the Persians were at the gates of the city, this sort of thing might not be a bad idea. Then again, the difference is that Sparta’s women actually had some idea which end of a spear to use in combat. This, on the other hand,...

The Beta’s Guide to the Friendzone

FailBlog is generally not a good place for what one might consider Red Pill truths, but yesterday I found a bit of an exception. That flow chart basically explains, from a frustrated BETA’s point of view, how the Friendzone works. And having experienced this...

Yeah, good luck with that registration drive

Now I generally have very little faith in the ability of the average East Coast American to understand the concept of an inalienable right, but it appears that the people of New York (!!!), of all states, are intent on proving me wrong. And not just me, but one...

Book review: The Way of Men by Jack Donovan

There are many Manosphere bloggers and authors out there with books, and each one addresses different aspects of the question of what it means to be a man in the 21st Century: Roosh’s Bang addresses a practical application of game. Mark Sisson’s...

How NOT to lift

As I’ve mentioned before, weightlifting is essential to the health and strength of every man. If you don’t lift weights, you bloody well should. That does NOT, however, mean that you should just go into the gym without having some idea of what you’re...
