As the viral internet post goes:
"If you hold a gun and I hold a gun, we can talk about the law. If you hold a knife and I hold a knife, we can talk about rules. If you come empty-handed and I come empty-handed, we can talk about reason. But if you hold a gun and I only have a knife, then the truth lies in your hand. If you have a gun and I have nothing, then what you hold in your hands isn't just a weapon, it's my life. The concepts of law, rules, and morality only make sense when they are based on equality."
A common man’s gun is the law, and the law has largely failed because of inefficient and corrupt prosecution, coupled with a dead-slow justice delivery system. This type of incidents will keep on happening till we tackle the underlying cause.
The manosphere is a derivative of pornography. It promotes unnatural and unattainable standards.
What unnatural, unattainable standards do you think it promotes?
It is a performance consumed through a screen, not lived.
If your only frame of reference for the Manosphere are 45 second agitprop clips from Andrew Tate, I can see why you'd believe this. But the Manosphere is far more than the ridiculous caricatures you saw in Louis Theroux's mockumentary.
It destroys real intimacy and relationships. It creates no societal value — only profits for the participants. And it exploits both men and women.
How many testimonials of the Red Pill/Manosphere saving and improving men's lives would it take to convince you otherwise? I can give you roughly 1,100 to start. The fact is, you lack the depth of understanding to factor in how the Manosphere has saved men's lives, worldwide, for over two and a half decades now.
The manosphere isn’t masculinity just like porn isn’t sex. The approach lacks any whiff of morality.
I spent 3 years of my life researching and writing my 4th book on the confluence of religion and the Red Pill. But you don't know that, because you don't care to know that.
The measures of success are money, clout, and fame. And these come at the expense of the consumers who pay to watch these men live their lives rather than go on living theirs. Nowhere is character or responsibility emphasized. In fact, responsibility gets kicked to the curb.
How would you know? Have you ever attended any events? Do you think maybe these men who go to these events and join these tribes are doing so because it actually improves their lives? No one is "paying" to watch me live my life, I assure you. Character, responsibility, respectability, self-sufficiency, social skills, style, physical fitness, and social dynamics are all key aspects of my own Reignite group and @SartainPodcast's Men of Action group.
They boast of “escaping the matrix” of society: things like a 9-5 job or being held down by one woman and a family. But they aren’t helping men escape the matrix; they are building a worse one.
To my knowledge, only Andrew Tate is still clinging to the antiquated Matrix references. The same Andrew Tate who's disavowed the Red Pill more times than I can recall.
The manosphere comparison to porn becomes impossible to ignore. Multiple credible studies make the comparison to porn hard to ignore as they prove the further the person entrenches this experiential pathway, the more elusive real relationship fulfillment could become. It's a self-perpetuating cycle of using explicit material as a temporary fix, which fails to address the root cause of loneliness, potentially making it a maladaptive method of coping and creating potential entrapment in a destructive cycle of pornography and loneliness.
Your ChatGPT comparisons to pornography are a non-sequitur. Likely the result of your prompting it to make these comparisons.
You correctly identify many of the symptoms, but your prescription ultimately produces more of the disease. 1) You talk a lot about "game," but teaching men how to attract women is not the same thing as teaching men how to love women. Game might help a man get a date. It won't help him stay married for 50 years.
On July 20th, I'll be celebrating 30 years of marriage, largely due to the understanding of male and female nature the Red Pill educates men about. The Red Pill will absolutely help a man stay married, but it will also inform him when not to. Again, you don't know this, because you don't care to know this.
The greatest men I know aren't masters of game. They're masters of sacrifice, responsibility, and commitment.
That's because average men allow the world to happen to them. Sacrifice, responsibility, and a mindless dedication to commitment make men necessitous, and necessitous men are never free. What can be noble can also be leverage.
The goal of masculinity shouldn't be maximizing romantic leverage. The goal should be becoming the kind of man who can build a family, raise children, bury his parents, serve his church, and carry responsibility when life gets hard.
There is no "goal" of masculinity. Masculinity is a state of being. This is a fundamental error that average men hold on to. And by doing so, others live their lives for them by using that goal state as leverage.
2) You are skeptical of marriage. And I admit that modern marriage has problems. Divorce laws have problems. Family courts have problems. But if your response to those problems is to convince men marriage isn't worth pursuing, you've surrendered the most important institution in civilization.
Again, married for 30 years in July. I'm not anti-marriage; I'm anti-whatever passes for marriage today. Besides, I don't have to convince men not to marry, because it's largely women who don't want to marry, and every data point supports this. This is a HUGE blind spot for TradCons because it would force them to hold their own women to the same scrutiny that you gladly hold the Manosphere to.
3) Your critique of feminism, including talk of repealing the 19th Amendment. The feminist movement told women they didn't need men. The manosphere is increasingly telling men they don't need women. Both are wrong. Civilization depends on men and women building families together.
First, I have never advocated repealing the 19th Amendment. In fact, I've been overly critical of this stupid rhetoric. I don't think most women should vote, but I also don't think most men should vote either. Only the MRA, MGTOW, and Black Pill factions of the Manosphere tell men they don't need women, but I'm not sure how this jives with your first assertions that the Manosphere is about money, clout, and getting women. Personally, I've written chapters and essays for years about how men and women are innate complements to each other and "we're better together than we are apart." Again, you don't know this, because you don't care to know this.
"How long do you think this "fad" of the Manosphere has been going on?"
If you think the Manosphere began in the wake of the # MeToo movement, allow me to link you to the SoSuave forums, circa 2004. You see, this is the problem with anti-Manosphere TradFluencers. You simply lack any real understanding about the 'sphere. It's why your friends like Jeremy Boering, Matt Walsh, and Michael Knowles have actively avoided interviewing anyone from the Manosphere proper for almost a decade. They know we'll destroy their contrived narrative and hold them accountable for the deliberate confusion they perpetuate so men remain ignorant of their conditions. The Red Pill is not the inverse of Feminism – it's traditional conservatism. They both have the same goal — male servitude to a feminine imperative.
@BeingArun28@GreaterNoidaW@gurgaonpolice@NayabSainiBJP Well done Gurgaon police. We have voted for BJP in Haryana in the hope that we will be safe from these goons.
I hope severe sections of criminal assault will be added in the FIR so that these goons don't get bail easily.
@RishiSingh0906@GreaterNoidaW@gurgaonpolice I faced the same with a black scorpio in Gurgaon.. police was useless.
These are so called farmers of India. Thoo hai India pe. Uselss country to live in.
Height of road rage in Gurgaon!
It seems these goons have complete faith in the @gurgaonpolice . That’s why such incidents have become all too common in Gurgaon.
Sikhs dancing freely in Hindu Mandirs to Punjabi beats & Hindus get lynched in Punjab Gurudwaras for merely not covering their heads
Pure hypocrisy
THIS IS NOT EMPOWERMENT. THIS IS STREET-LEVEL GUNDA-GARDI.
A man was going to his flat with his female companion, and this woman allegedly stopped him, demanded his flat number, abused him, threatened him, and questioned why he was recording her because he was “not from media.”
The language she used was not confidence. It was cheap intimidation.
Had a man spoken like this to a woman, he would have been branded a predator before sunset. But here, society will suddenly become silent, soft and selective.
A woman’s gender cannot become a licence to abuse, threaten and humiliate a man.
Question is simple: will she be punished, or will this also be buried under the fake halo of “women empowerment”?

Some patterns I noticed after looking through a ton of patient files the last week — Every sick male patient I’ve worked with in the last year has one or all of the following same beliefs / personality traits and body states - (I tend to do a core beliefs / habits / personality intake before I look at any labs or physical aspects of an illness) :
1) That they are “behind” in something : they aren’t where they should be / or that they missed the boat that others seemingly caught (that time has a finish line and they are running out of time to prove they are good enough)
2) Tendencies to people please, usually stemming from performing/performative behaviors around a mother or father as a means to stay safe or accepted via keeping the peace/not making waves - now a coping strategy into adulthood that is no longer working (if I can be useful I won’t be lost/left behind/abandoned)
3) Too hard on self (internalized criticism, usually stemming from another person and that persons voice becomes their own inner voice)
4) Strong shame or guilt aspects including inner dialogues that are judgmental of themself
5) Living in a functional freeze state (most common I see, when fight or flight fail /weren’t possible in youth)
6) They are living in long term touch & connection deficits
There are many others but these show up so often for me that I thought I’d share.
The labs I might want them to run tell me what in the body broke as a means to get their attention because it was affected by a pattern, but this pattern and belief intake is the why it broke and should be addressed.
Here are what these 6 most common I see in general teach us / could do to us :
Behind: Core belief: “I do not have inherent worth. My value depends on what I produce or achieve.”
Nervous system: Chronic HPA axis activation. The body lives in a low grade threat, constantly assessing whether it has done enough to justify its existence.
Somatic consequences here: Chronic fatigue, immune suppression, metabolic dysregulation, hormonal depletion, accelerated aging. Literature says here: High competence dependent self esteem correlates specifically with cardiac and exhaustive disease patterns including burnout states. Low self esteem predicts physiological dysregulation under stress and suppressed immune markers.
People pleasing: Core belief: “My existence is a burden. I am only safe when I am useful to others.”
Nervous system: Sustained sympathetic hypervigilance wrapped up in a parasympathetic state. The body monitors others emotional states constantly while suppressing its own emotional state. This is the fawn response, a trauma adaptation that keeps the nervous system perpetually on alert even while appearing calm.
Somatic consequences here: Chronic muscle tension particularly in the jaw and shoulders, digestive dysregulation, disrupted gut microbiome, sleep disruption, a vigilance that does not switch off at the end of the day.
Literature says about this state: Chronic people pleasing keeps the nervous system in sustained hypervigilance. Suppressed anger and chronic stress states and absolutely *destroy* the gut microbiome and reduce serotonin production, which means the nervous system loses the biochemistry needed to set a boundary. (much goes down in a body that didn’t express itself.)
Women have become so empowered in this country.
A man was going with his female companion to his flat, and she started abusing him.
Just look at her face and language. How do these people even afford a flat?
Will she be punished?
असम के जोरहाट में पिछले दिनों भारतीय वायुसेना का विमान क्रैश हुआ। पांच जवान शहीद हुए। इनमें फ्लाइट लेफ्टिनेंट शुभम कुमार भी थे। बिहार सरकार की तरफ से 21 लाख रुपए का चेक श्रेया राय को सौंपा गया। श्रेया श्राद्धकर्म से पहले ही चेक लेकर अपने घर चली गई।
दरअसल, शुभम और श्रेया की अगले साल शादी होनी थी। दोनों कोर्ट मैरिज कर चुके थे, यह जानकारी शुभम की फैमिली को नहीं थी। इसलिए कानूनन तौर पर सरकार ने श्रेया को शुभम की पत्नी मानकर सहायता दी।
शुभम के पिता अमरेंद्र शर्मा कहते हैं, "अगर मेरे बेटे ने सच में श्रेया से शादी की थी तो वह मेरी बहू है और चेक पाने की हकदार भी, लेकिन पत्नी का फर्ज निभाना भी तो चाहिए था। पति के श्राद्धकर्म से पहले ही वो चेक लेकर अपने घर चली गई"
The majority of men were either raised by single mothers or dominant mothers over hen pecked fathers. This is why women disrespecting men is an all time high. This is why the cult of frame is accelerating where men help men. Orphans lift orphans. Pick up, carry and pass frame. There can be no doubt. Chin towards God.
Dogs k!lled a 75 year old woman by chasing her to her death. She was riding a scooty driven by her grand daughter. Dog pack chase and try to bite. They lost balance and fall. old Women de@d.
Nearby a Stray dog lover feeds many stray dogs that harass the neighbours.
@cyborgg42@Indumakalktchi Be careful. I used that word ' c******' in a comment and got banned. The dog lobby mass reports profiles and gets people banned from X for simply saying what's in the SC judgement
@Vibhakar369 Open challenge. Engage in a debate. Prove that Army officers are not simps and feminists. I will respond with arguments proving the gynocentricism.
