Leave the Dead Where They Lie

Andrew Torba writes eloquently on the necessity of building new platforms and moving away from the dying old mainstream ones:

Let me start by being perfectly clear: you are not going to infiltrate the system and magically take over legacy institutions. This isn’t some Mission Impossible movie or Fight Club, it’s real life. Anyone who genuinely believes this is possible has clearly never set foot inside a real legacy institution. I am talking about the corporate boardrooms, the government agencies, the universities, and the mainstream media conglomerates. These are not blank slates or neutral grounds. They are highly sophisticated systems engineered over generations with one primary purpose: to perpetuate themselves and eliminate any threat to their established dogma.

These institutions possess a powerful immune system. It is a literal set of defensive mechanisms designed to identify and expel dissident thought. They have endless bureaucratic procedures that can bury any reform effort in red tape. They have human resources departments that function as ideological compliance units, enforcing a secular progressive creed. They have anonymous reporting hotlines that encourage coworkers to snitch on each other for wrongthink. There are layers upon layers of protection designed specifically to prevent what some would naively call a dissident coup.

If you enter one of these institutions, you face a binary choice with no middle ground. You will conform, or you will be annihilated. You will slowly, inevitably, become the very thing you claim to oppose. You will be pressured to attend mandatory training seminars that label your Christian faith as hate speech. You will be forced to sign loyalty oaths to ideologies that dismantle the natural family and deny biological reality. You will be expected to celebrate degeneracy and mock tradition. If you refuse to comply, you will be ostracized, investigated, and finally ejected. Your career will be terminated and your name will be blacklisted across the entire industry. This is not a theory. This is the lived experience of millions of our people who tried to make a stand from within.

Just look at these institutions themselves. Do we really want to encourage young people to spend the next thirty years living a lie so they can magically “capture” them at some distant point in the future? They are rotting husks. Hollowed out cathedrals of a dead century. They operate on pure inertia and a deep, desperate fear. They are managed by cowardly souls who long ago traded their convictions for a steady paycheck and a vague sense of prestige. They believe in nothing but their own self preservation. They can smell your dissent, your faith, your love for your people, and they will react like a body rejecting a transplanted organ.

The idea that you can simply lay low for thirty years, hide your true beliefs, and slowly rise through the ranks to take over this dying establishment is not a strategy. It is a fantasy. It is a voluntary life sentence in a spiritual prison. It is a plan to waste your one precious life chained to a corpse.

He’s absolutely right. Look how much effort, and how many tears, were wasted on Wikipedia and the biases of its 500 admins. If everyone who cried about Wikipedia’s falsehoods and slanders had simply become an editor on Infogalactic and edited the article they were crying about, Infogalactic would have far surpassed Wikipedia by now.

Because they are subversive by nature, SJWs are keenly sensitive to interlopers and heretics who have not entirely succumbed to convergence. They will never, ever, permit anyone who is not entirely infested by the mind-virus to come anywhere close to positions of power or influence, unlike naive conservatives who couldn’t wait to vote for a black man for president and get a little spring in their step when they can preen about the new female pastor at their church.

No one seeks their enemies’ approval and scorns their friends like a conservative.

In keeping with this theme of new platforms, I’m very pleased to be able to say that Arktoons will not only be continuing, but will even be undergoing a renovation of sorts, as we have a new dev taking responsibility for the maintainance and development of the platform who is already very experienced with it and is fully in sync with the needs of the creators.

A Special Interview

This is a real treat! Big Serge interviews Dr. Sean McMeekin, the author of the excellent book STALIN’S WAR:

Big Serge: “One of the first things that stands out about your work is that you have found success writing about topics which are very familiar to people and have a large extant corpus of writing. World War One, the Russian Revolution, World War Two, and now a broad survey of Communism – these are all subjects with no shortage of literature, and yet you have consistently managed to write books that feel refreshing and new. In a sense, your books help “reset” how people understand these events, so for example Stalin’s War was very popular and was not perceived as just another World War Two book. Would you say that this is your explicit objective when you write, and more generally, how do you approach the challenge of writing about familiar subjects?”

Dr. McMeekin: “Yes, I think that is an important goal when I write. I have often been called a revisionist, and it is not usually meant as a compliment, but I don’t particularly mind the label. I have never understood the idea that a historian’s job is simply to reinforce or regurgitate, in slightly different form, our existing knowledge of major events. If there is nothing new to say, why write a book?

Of course, it is not easy to say something genuinely new about events such as the First World War, the Russian Revolution, or World War Two. The scholar in me would like to think that I have been able to do so owing to my discovery of new materials, especially in Russian and other archives less well-trodden by western historians until recently, and that is certainly part of it. But I think it is more important that I come to this material – and older material, too – with new questions, and often surprisingly obvious ones.

For example, in The Russian Origins of the First World War, I simply took up Fritz Fischer’s challenge, which for some reason had been forgotten after “Fischerites” (most of them less than careful readers of Fischer, apparently) took over the field. In the original 1961 edition of Griff nach der Weltmacht (Germany’s “Bid” or “Grab” for World Power, a title translated more blandly but descriptively into English as Germany’s Aims in the First World War), Fischer pointed out that he was able to subject German war aims to withering scrutiny because basically every German file (not destroyed in the wars) had been declassified and opened to historians owing to Germany’s abject defeat in 1945 – while pointing out that, if the secret French, British, and Russian files on 1914 were ever opened, a historian could do the same thing for one of the Entente Powers. I had already done a Fischer-esque history on German WWI strategy, especially Germany’s use of pan-Islam (The Berlin-Baghdad Express), inspired by a similar epigraph in an old edition of John Buchan’s wartime thriller Greenmantle – Buchan predicted that a historian would come along one day to tell the story “with ample documents,” joking that when this happened he would retire and “fall to reading Miss Austen in a hermitage.” So it was a logical progression to ask, if Fischer can do this for Germany’s war aims, why not Russia?

Both the interview and the book are highly recommended.

Asymmetric Economic Warfare

Despite being more vulnerable to trade war pain due to its export surplus, China has adroitly managed to gain the upper hand in the economic conflict by taking advantage of the fact that semiconductors require input factors that are almost entirely under Chinese control.

Despite the show of progress and professed optimism for a potential de-escalation in the Madrid trade talks, the US wasted no time to launch a series of trade and tech sanctions against China immediately afterwards, just like it launched the sneak attack on Iran shortly after its 5th round nuclear talks with Tehran.

  • The US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) tightened its chip ban on China, expanding the embargo to cover all semiconductor related software and equipment sales to China, in an effort to completely choke off China’s ability for chip production
  • Washington expanded its entity list (i.e. black list) to deny high end sales to businesses outside of China that have 50% or more Chinese ownership
  • It announced a plan to charge million-dollar port fees for any Chinese-operated shipping companies, Chinese-made ships, or non-Chinese shippers with Chinese-made ships in their fleet or on their order books, in an effort to undermine China’s shipping building industry
  • Washington also put a 721% tariff on Chinese clean energy products such as solar panels
  • It imposed 50% tariff on semi-finished copper products and copper-intensive goods (e.g., wiring, batteries) under Section 232, targeting China’s dominance in EV/tech supply chains
  • It ended de minimis exemption for low-value packages, hitting e-commerce from Chinese platforms such as Temu and Shein

Faced with the bad faith from the Trump regime, China retaliated swiftly with a suite of counter actions:

  • Beijing published its latest restrictions on rare earth products to deny any sales of China-sourced rare earth magnets, processing technology, and equipment to foreign military and semi-conductor industry
  • It revoked import license for US lumber and soybeans. China was the biggest buyer of US soybeans in the past and accounted for over 50% its export. But it has ordered no purchase in 2025
  • Beijing announced it would charge reciprocal port fees for any US-operated or US-owned shipping companies. China runs 7 out of the world’s top ten container ports and has by far the highest port calls. Though the US builds few ships and few large shipping companies are US operated, US pension funds and asset managers own large shares in some of the world’s top shipping companies like Maersk which are now subject to the port fees. This move directly targets US financial interests
  • China also tightened up export of lithium ion and graphite anode, critical for green transformation
  • It expanded the unreliable list (China’s answer to the entity list) to cover more US defense contractors, tech firms, and critical mineral companies. It also launched anti-trust investigation against Qualcomm, a large US chip manufacturer

The latest tit for tats strongly indicates China is ready to move up the escalation ladder in its confrontation with the US on trade and technology issues.

In particular, Beijing’s enhanced rare earth restrictions are expected to deal a massive blow to high tech and military production in the US and its vassals.

In its embargo of chip technology against China, the US utilized the Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR) to block chip export to China if non-US made chips use any American technology, software, or equipment somewhere along the supply chain.

In essence, the FDPR allows US to claim jurisdiction to any products US technology touches even if it is made overseas such as the case with TSMC and ASML. The rule gives the US extraterritorial reach.

With the new rare earth restrictions, China flips the logic back to the US. Beijing has announced any non-Chinese companies operating anywhere must obtain Beijing’s approval to export rare earth magnets or semiconductors if those products contain Chinese original rare earth, or if they are produced using Chinese rare earth technology, process or equipment.

Beijing is denying all rare earth products, technology, equipment, and technical support to foreign end users it doesn’t approve.

The Chinese economic strategists understand that in an economic war, pain flows downstream. The US thought it was in the driver’s seat – and indeed, I assumed much the same due to the fact that the US economy would benefit greatly from refraining from importing goods from China and onshoring its now-absent industrial manufacturing capabilities.

But the stranglehold China has upon the materials required for modern warmaking materials, particularly drones and semiconductors, means that the USA will have to choose between its ability to make war and its ability to maintain the global Clown World economy. And for the first time, it is not possible for Uncle Sam to choose guns and butter.

Floating on the Sea of Retardery

An SG reader inadvertently discovers the raison d’etre of Stoic philosophy:

I have another 23 or so years left in my career. In reality I do not know if I can make it in my current positions. Being an accounting exec I see everything and it’s sickening. The vast majority of people serve Mammon from the top level employees down to the lowest level. The vast majority lie, cheat and steal with no remorse. They think nothing of doing things that hurt their coworkers to get an extra buck. When they aren’t doing that, they purposely allow people to make damaging mistakes so they can grandstand about it for 5 minutes and feel like they are scoring points.

I honestly don’t know how much longer I can take it. No one argues with me when I point these things out, but no one cares either, they do nothing and hope I shut up eventually, because they largely do the same things.

This is the sea of retardery that is the human condition. Balzac wrote an entire ouvre dedicated to precisely this endless series of bad decisions, shenanigans, and tomfoolery. There is little point in the reader trying to seek work elsewhere, because what is troubling him is not unique to his industry, but is absolutely normal human behavior.

This is why philosophers from the Roman Stoics to the Chinese sages have stressed the importance of not being affected by the behavior of others and refusing to let their antics disturb your equanimity.

I was just speaking with Spacebunny this morning about the distress of men and women working in the Swiss banking industry, who have belatedly realized that submitting to US pressure to give up everything that made banking in Switzerland desirable has unsurprisingly had very negative effects on their employment prospects. In just 15 years, the number of Swiss banks has fallen from 400 to 250, one of its two banking giants collapsed, and the only reason the other one still survives is because it was bailed out by the Swiss government.

All of this was predictable and predicted. Before the financial crisis of 2008, I told a VP at a Swiss bank that all of those things would absolutely and inevitably happen if they were dumb enough to submit to US pressure to change the practices that made them rich and the envy of the world. But I was not even a little bit surprised when the bankers did so, and did so in order to preserve their access to a market where they did nothing but lose tens of billions of dollars, because I would estimate that 95 percent of men and 99 percent of women are simply too retarded to be capable of understanding the inevitable consequences of their own decisions and behavior.

David Foster Wallace understood this. It’s probably one of the reasons he killed himself in his despair.

The so-called real world of men and money and power hums merrily along in a pool of fear and anger and frustration and craving and worship of self.

So, too, did the Chinese of yore.

卸磨刀石殺驢

Unload the grindstone to kill the donkey.

This is the way most people and most organizations operate on a daily basis. They readily sacrifice their goals, their objectives, and their material long-term interests for what they perceive to be in their immediate interest, because they don’t realize that the latter necessitates the former.

And there is absolutely nothing that one can do about this behavioral tendency except accept it, as Confucius observed.

隨風搖曳的綠色蘆葦,比暴風雨中折斷的參天橡樹還要堅強

The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.

And if you will excuse me quoting myself:

The gift of sight becomes a curse when one can’t intervene.

Why the Gazacaust Ended

Charles Johnson has a very different theory about the sudden end of the Israeli invasion of Gaza that revolves around the funding of the Trump coterie by Qatar:

The second Netanyahu tried to kill Hamas members in Qatar and thereby threatened Witkoff and Kushner family money — which is really Trump money — he was done. So you’re aware about what really caused the Gaza War to end. Netanyahu tried murdering Hamas in Qatar. That’s what it was — an attempted murder.

Qatari officials said if this behavior is allowed in our country, we are going to withdraw investments in the United States, including the money we have put behind your allies and your family.

President Trump said, “Woah, is there anything we can do to make this cool?” The Qataris said, “Yeah, we have a security guarantee. Let’s invoke it against Netanyahu.”

Trump made Netanyahu apologize to the Qataris and the Qataris rewarded America by announcing new investments in America, including an air base in Idaho.

I have no idea if any of this is real or relevant, as it’s entirely outside of my knowledge base, but the whole thing was definitely abrupt and weird. I certainly didn’t expect the ceasefire to hold, much less for Hamas to return the hostages and for the IDF to withdraw from Gaza. But, let’s face it, it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if the whole thing was about corruption and money rather than anything of ideological, strategic, spiritual, or historic import.

Digging Out the Deep State?

Speaking of shadowy clowns pulling strings from the shadows, it appears that US Presidents haven’t actually held the executive power in the USA since 1935. It all sounds a bit hopiumatic, to be sure, but the more squealing that comes out of Washington as the various agencies are shut down and their bureaucrats are disemployed, the more optimistic we should be.

The Great Reclamation has begun. The Supreme Court just restored Trump’s constitutional power to remove rogue commissioners from federal agencies. For the first time in ninety years, the President can clean house. The walls of bureaucratic tyranny are cracking.

Since 1935, the presidency has been a hostage. A hidden ruling called Humphrey’s Executor v. United States created a shield around unelected bureaucrats buried inside so-called independent agencies. They could not be fired. Not by Congress. Not by the people. Not even by the Commander in Chief. These were the Deep State’s castles inside the government. Protected. Untouchable. Writing rules with the power of law while answering to no one. For decades, they dictated policy, destroyed accountability, and made every president a figurehead in his own house.

That ended this week.

In a ruling few expected but history will never forget, the Supreme Court confirmed that President Trump has full constitutional authority to remove Democratic commissioners Mary Boyle, Richard Trumka Jr, and Alexander Hoehn-Saric from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Court reminded the nation that executive power belongs to the President alone. Not to agencies. Not to boards. Not to faceless lawyers.

The 6-3 decision has detonated the foundation of bureaucratic immunity. Trump can now terminate any commissioner who obstructs reform, dismantle ideological mandates, and reclaim executive control over agencies that have operated like private empires. The ruling sets a precedent that can sweep through every corner of the federal maze — FTC, SEC, NLRB, CDC, FDA, DOE. Hundreds of unelected operators who hid behind the term “independent” are now exposed.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is only the beginning. Nearly 700 positions across Washington fall under the same model. With this judgment, Trump holds the legal weapon he was denied in his first term. The sword is back in his hands.

Inside the Deep State, panic has already begun. For decades, they didn’t need to win elections. They only needed to control who stayed behind. By embedding loyal operatives inside untouchable posts, they guaranteed their agenda survived every presidency. They wrote laws under the cover of regulation. They censored industries through “safety standards.” They shifted policy without ever standing for a vote. That structure is now collapsing.

This decision is not about staffing. It’s about sovereignty. The hidden coup that began ninety years ago has been reversed. The unelected state no longer outranks the elected one. The legal scaffolding that protected the regime is being dismantled piece by piece.

That is why the media is silent. They understand what this means. If Trump uses this authority — and he will — the entire architecture of shadow governance will fall. Agencies that weaponized policy for ideology will be stripped of power. Mandates will be rescinded. Political infiltrators will be removed. The Deep State’s invisible army is finally within reach.

Trump’s second term begins now, with the power he was denied in 2016. The presidency is no longer a cage. It is a command post. He can purge the administrative state, rebuild federal institutions that answer to the people, and restore a government that serves its citizens instead of its masters.

The Left Discovers the Deep State

Dan Hodges is a son of a British Labour Member of Parliament and a former member of the British Labour Party. While he is a columnist for the Daily Mail, he’s one of their more reliably leftist writers. So, it’s interesting to observe that he has reached much the same conclusions that Q, Qanon, and pretty much everyone to the right of the conservative gatekeeper’s club have.

We must confront the outrageous truth. A shadowy cabal of men is running Britain – and the Prime Minister is not one of them.

A Response to an Irrelevance

Someone who calls himself something like Faggotus Maximus took offense at my contemptuous dismissal of a deceased political whore and purported to attempt what he erroneously calls a “fisking”:

Dear Vox, Once upon a time you were important, very important. You were the first to provide real resistance to the Social Justice Warriors with Gamer Gate. Being first is important. Very important. Your books on Social Justice Warriors have stood the test of time.

You are among the first to achieve real traction getting important ideas into the minds of right wing intellectuals and activists: that conservatism is not enough, that Social Justice Warriors are a cancer that must be eradicated, that free trade isn’t working according to accepted theory, that conservatives need to play hardball and not play strictly by the rules when the the other side is cheating gratuitously.

As in a multi level marketing scheme, you deserve partial credit for those who have run with your ideas — maybe even a few orts of Charlie Kirk’s work when he has strayed into Christian Nationalist territory.

And you have deserved a well deserved rest from activism. You can retreat across the Atlantic to relative safety to focus on your family and on fun hobby projects with my complete blessing, with a bit of pontificating to the next wave of activists when you feel like it.

But that is not all your are doing. You have been repeatedly dismissing those who are are still fighting the good fight. And your repeated claim that those who have done greater things than you are disposable ticket takers is gammafied envy whining on the order of a twink Marxist sociology professor. It is more cringeworthy than your Mary Sue self insert at the end of Alt Hero.

There is more, of course there is more, but it’s always projection with these nobodies and neverweres. First, he clearly doesn’t even know what a “fisking” is, since he doesn’t go methodically through whatever I actually wrote that set him off. This is a false assertion of a faux-fisking. Second, he’s the only one who took any offense. I’m certainly not offended by anything he wrote, neither are any of my readers, fans, supporters, and casual followers. On the level of rhetorical heat to which we have become accustomed since 2001, this barely rises to the 2/10 level.

These are his words, not mine:

“Offense has been taken. Great offense. For some strange reason I find the disparagements of a Benedict Arnold to be more offensive than the gloatings of an open enemy. Offense shall be served.”

There will likely be some who ask why I respond to an irrelevance. The reason is that I never use an critic’s irrelevance as an excuse to avoid addressing him. I have debated PhDs and authors of the textbook on the subject concerned and I have debated complete nobodies. Unlike Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, and Nick Fuentes, I do not generate excuses to run from either criticism or debate.

Let’s set another thing straight. I am not a “self described dark lord”. The title of “Supreme Dark Lord” was granted to me by SF grandmaster John C. Wright himself after the editor-in-chief of Tor Books described me as rising “all the way to downright evil” and after my VFM and Dread Ilk forced the tech giants to completely revise their legally questionable terms of service. To this day, I am banned from YouTube and officially barred from setting foot in Google’s Mountain View headquarters. And I am reliably informed by my eyes and ears there that my name can only be spoken in hushed whispers at the headquarters of the Daily Wire.

Now, the truth of my disparagements notwithstanding, I can’t be a Benedict Arnold because I’m simply not on the same side as Charlie Kirk or FM or Brilyn Hollyhand or Nick Fuentes or Ben Shapiro or any other conservative creature who a) is funded by foreign political interests, or b) believes “Judeo-Christianity” is real or c) subscribes to the idea that Western Civilization was ever dependent upon Judaism in any way, or d) asserts that America is an “idea nation” or a “melting pot,” or e) believes in Enlightenment ideals such as “free trade” or “free speech” or “progress” or “equality,” or f) supports the societal normalization of sexual deviancy, no-fault divorce, abortion, and euthanasia.

All of these things are antithetical to civilization in general and Western Civilization in particular. I actively oppose and reject every single conservative who espouses any of those ideas. There is no us.

I am not, and I have never, ever been, a conservative. I explained why in CUCKSERVATIVE; it is merely a posture, it is neither a philosophy nor an ideology. I have never belonged to the Republican Party, or indeed, to any political party or faction. I do not care if the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or the Democrat-Farmer-Labor Party are currently in power; I publicly dismissed all of them as the bi-factional ruling party back in 2004 and pointed out that the historical USA no longer even existed except in name and geography.

All of which is to say that I cannot retire from activism since I have never been an activist. I am neither a political activist nor a political extremist. I am an intellectual, which is something that is increasingly rare in an age of frauds, political whores, paid propagandists, and charlatans. I do not advocate, I observe and I assess. I do not think in binary terms, but from a probabilistic perspective. I certainly do not expect any political elites to pay attention to, endorse, or accept my observations, much less any of my recommendations, however correct they might be.

As a student of Aristotle, Martin van Creveld, Karl Marx, Friedrich von Hayek, Robert Prechter, Steve Keen, and Peter Turchin, among many others, I don’t view politics as being anything more than a superficial layer of distraction that obscures the real tectonics of human society, which are ultimately material and spiritual in nature. Modern politics across the West is a collection of delusional children playing make-a-wish; one has only to witness the incessant European conferences on how the member-states of the European Union, led by the European Commission, are going to institute regime change in Russia to grasp the fundamentally irrelevant nature of politics today.

This is not to say politics has no influence on society at all. But that influence is limited, indirect, controlled, and inevitably bows before material force and spiritual power. Moreover, there is virtually no link between the will of the people as theoretically represented by their democratically-elected “representatives” and what the people of the nation actually want. Very few, if any, of the institutions and policies of the current US federal government were ever desired by the American people, and yet they were forced upon them anyhow. The same is true of most European nations.

I very much doubt that most of my readers, much less any of my critics, can fathom how low my expectations are. We swim in a sea of willfully delusional retardery and none of the things that obsess most political activists matter in the least; forget who will win the electoral race in the 4th California congressional district or whatever as most people across the West will consider themselves fortunate if they preserve electricity, clean water, and indoor plumbing in their neighborhoods and avoid being roasted over open fires. All polities collapse in time, and the USA is observably approaching the end of its viability as a unitary governing entity. I’m not the first to see this; Wang Hunin observed the same thing years before I predicted a collapse in the 2033 timeframe in 2004.

Politics is not going to fix this.

The irony is that my opinion of FM is not entirely dissimilar to his opinion of me. He thinks I am wasting my time developing new concepts, disproving various historical falsehoods, and publishing a range of books that will last for centuries. I think he is wasting his time trying to build a political coalition on behalf of people under the financial control of global satanists in order to preserve a decrepit polity that cannot survive intact. His interest is in the success of the Republican Party. My interest is in the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

Only time can conclusively determine who is correct, but regardless, I can’t pretend to care about something that never mattered to me in the first place. And as for those matters that gave offense, I can summarize my views in a succinct manner:

Disagree if you like. Take offense if you wish. The facts are what they are. The Truth is what it is. And nothing you, me, FM, or anyone else says is going to change that.

Veritas incontestabilis stat

UPDATE: Dennis Prager’s fate is more than a little ironic in light of the Black Rider analogy often used for the ticket-takers who have ceased to be useful to their masters. Of course, the fact that I was unaware of this only underlines how little attention I pay to these manufactured entities. Only a short-sighted fool could ever envy what passes for their so-called “success”.

UPDATE: FM is also blatantly lying in his comments.

It matters because he has building a cult of personality, teaching insane shit, and injecting mental poison into the Right. His disgusting Charlie Kirk post was but a trigger to write this fisk. He needs to either mend his ways or have his reputation destroyed. Benedict Arnold was once the Continental Army’s most effective general. He’s not remembered as a hero today for some reason. And yes he did hate Charlie. He hates everyone who is more successful than he is, that envious little $#*(@). He denegrates everyone who makes an impact as a “ticket taker.” Vox is not just a mere Black Piller. He is pushing Black Pills, a cult mindset, and assorted insanity using cred built from past real accomplishments.

Again, pure projection. I neither envied nor wanted the “success” that a corpse, a paraplegic, and a suicidal nutjob previously enjoyed. I wouldn’t trade places with Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes, or any other well-funded current gatekeeper if I were offered 10x their revenue and the daily services of the entire Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad. Nor would I trade places with successful non-gatekeepers like George RR Martin, Brandon Sanderson, Larry Correia, and John Scalzi. I also don’t hate any of them, but low-status men like FM often confuse contempt and disdain for hate and envy.

The amusing thing is that what FM calls “insane shit” today, a few years from now he will likely pretend to have believed all along. I still remember when most of the readers here thought I was crazy for refusing to celebrate Jordan Peterson as the great intellectual hero of the Right, and when evolutionists thought I was crazy for asking about the average rate of evolution by natural selection. It wasn’t even that long ago when people thought I was crazy for pointing out that the USA could not win a war with either Russia or China, much less a Sino-Russian alliance. I don’t always correctly anticipate the future, but I do have a better track record than most.

Anyhow, the fact that FM believes me to be a Black Piller should suffice to demonstrate that he has no idea what he’s talking about.
