I’ve unlocked my essay and made it free for all readers. I wrote this two weeks ago in order to explain, not the details of the Clancy trial, but step by step how women, especially mothers, become Evil.

It was great to finally have someone admit the truth: climate doomerism is about one world government, ending democracy and impoverishing the world.

The idea that we must impoverish humanity to save it is not just absurd, it's a suicide pact. Sovereign nations will never accept it, and people will never vote for it.

I don't believe in suicide for token gestures towards not solving a problem you're claiming to solve.

A lot of people aren't going to want to hear this but much of the "depression" that parents (and not just moms) suffer after child birth is due not so much to hormones but to the fact that children, especially babies, are demanding and difficult and require us to subordinate our own needs and desires for their sake. The more selfish you are, the more of an adjustment it's going to be.

[Pat Stedman | Dating & Relationship Coach for Men @Pat_Stedman]

A patriarchy wouldn't have any hesitation to kill a man who did this, but our matriarchy struggles. Why?

Because in a matriarchy, all morality is run through the collective female's subjective experience. "I was sad postpartum so I empathize with her."

But notice who isn't empathized with? The children. Because the children, once associated as a burden on the mother, are emotionally devalued.

It's the same reason women are so adamant about abortion and now infantcide in states like MA and CA. The child's life ceases to matter if it imposes on the woman.

What we learn from this is that many women are actually not empathetic at all, they are narcissistic - what we call "empathy" is just a woman relating to what another woman is going through. But not because she cares about the other woman, but because it is a mechanism to care about HERSELF.

I'll remember this whilst I'm roofing today thanks 👍🏻

If the Western world feels like it's gone insane over the last decade, you're not imagining it.

Polish psychologist Andrew Lobaczewski spent his life studying this phenomenon.

He called the field Political Ponerology.

The study of how psychologically disordered individuals capture institutions.

Every pathological regime ends up with the same cast of characters.

Here they are 🧵

[Liam Out Loud @liam_out_loud]

Leftist "Empathy" is Actually Narcissism

A worldview that persists despite its unending list of failures is not interested in truth or empathy but power.

The social status payoff for these luxury beliefs is immediate; the collapse that follows takes decades.

They get all the short-term personal benefits, while collectivizing the long-term downfall.

Asmongold breaks down the "punching up" double standard

"You can be racist to white people but not to black people. You can say eat the rich but you can't say eat the poor. Fat women can complain about skinny women all day, but the moment a skinny woman calls someone fat, now she's a bully. It's the entire idea that punching up is culturally acceptable."

"If you are creating acceptable targets for animosity and hostility, the people that want to do that are people with bad intentions. You're taking somebody who wants to rationalize their brand of hate and normalizing it to the extent that it's culturally accepted."

"A lot of the people that advocate for equality and tolerance are the most intolerant, most caste based thinkers you'll ever meet. That's always how those people act."

Tim Robbins reveals what Romanians told him cancel culture reminds them of and it will make you rethink everything

"I asked, what was the uptake on the vaccines in Romania? And they said something like 40%. I said, well, how do you explain that? And they said, well, you know, we lived under the Soviet Union for many years, so we know how to look like we comply when we're not complying."

"And I said, what else reminds you of the Soviet Union? And they said, without a doubt, cancel culture."

"Soviet Union used to keep files on all of us, right? So as long as you're a good party member, there wouldn't be a thing said. But once you stepped out of line, they brought out that old file. Now that affair with your secretary from 30 years ago is going to ruin your life. They're going to ruin your family. They're going to kill your career. And they're going to make a big public display of it to show other people to stay in line."

"And they felt like cancel culture was basically operating in the same way as the Soviet Union did. And it was really interesting to see that perspective in Eastern Europe."

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Turns out, you can't hold Communists to their stated values because their stated values are lies. They don't hold those values. They're Machiavellians. The only values they actually hold are that they're "right" and everyone who opposes them deserves to be punished ruthlessly.

Bill Maher read the DSA platform to a Los Angeles studio audience and they GASPED OUT LOUD.

Shocked by their own party's platform.

I don’t have a theory of mind for these people. I literally cannot imagine being this detached from reality.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

The people who made the diversity deals rarely paid the price.

Helen Andrews pointed out that when older boomer men in leadership positions accepted new hiring targets, they kept their own plum jobs. The costs landed on the younger generation of men whose opportunities shrank to meet those targets.

They could claim the moral high ground precisely because the trade-off cost them nothing. The ones who actually absorbed it were the ones coming up behind them.

A pattern she found striking enough to write a book about.

An important developmental factor in the Cluster B epidemic is the discouragement of trait agreeableness, which is a shared predisposition across all Cluster B presentations.

For the last half-century, the messaging directed at girls has increasingly treated accommodation as weakness.

Where older advice said:

Learn to compromise.
Choose your battles.
Think before speaking.
Be gracious.
Consider another person’s point of view.
Marriage requires sacrifice.

Modern advice recodes the same behaviours as pathology in women:
People-pleasing.
Fawning.
Codependency.
Emotional labour.
Lack of boundaries.
Internalized misogyny.
Male validation.
Pick-me behaviour.
Good girl syndrome.

Girls were supposedly taught to prevent exploitation. But what happened is that they learnt to distrust the traits that kept them from exploiting others, adhere to social norms and temper their worst impulses.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

At the end of the day, Communism and all other totalitarian systems are not economic, social, or political theories. In a way, they're all idolatrous false religions, but at their roots are incorrect theories of human nature.

To be clear, Communism is at its foundation an incorrect theory of human nature.

It will therefore never work and will always kill and destroy.

It shares in common with Fascism, other forms of socialism, Nazism, and lots of mondialist and New Age ideologies (think United Nations here) a simple incorrect foundation for human reality.

These all assume humanity is a single organism (or "meta-organism") rather than a ln ecosystem of interacting individuals. All collectivism suffers this fundamental and basic error, so it will all always fail, no matter how it expresses itself (including in theocracies like Islam or Christian tyrannies).

The idea is expressed most clearly in the "corporatism" of Fascism, per Mussolini and Giovanni Gentile, posting that the whole society is a single body ("corpus," hence "corporatism"). The institutions are like organs, the individuals like cells, and the state and Party like the central nervous system. Everything works together for a common goal.

Communists see this same model in "the people," who experience "inter-being" or "interdependence," which is the new mondialist and New Age way of putting it, but it's the same thing. We're all cells in a single body run by the state, all working harmoniously for everyone's success.

Weirdo New Age mondialists at the UN like Robert Muller called not just humanity but the entire ecosystem of earth a "meta-organism" whose central nervous system is the UN itself. The UN's purpose as "World Brain," in Muller's vision, is to take control of the future evolution of man and the Earth.

Marx called this "humanization" of man and Nature. The Fascists and Nazis embraced the same project to advance humanity to its next levels of human organization. It's all basically the same. It's also all wrong in basically the same way.

Humanity, and human societies, are not like organisms. They are like ecosystems. The difference is that in a body, all the parts and cells work together by design to support the flourishing of the organism. In an ecosystem, individual entities and parts might cooperate, act symbiotically, compete, or predate.

Dragonflies don't cooperate with mosquitoes; they eat them. And they don't cooperate with bats to eat more mosquitoes more efficiently; they compete in conditions that eventually reach carrying capacities and therefore scarcity.

Your liver, heart, and kidneys do not do this. They serve specialized functions in a single interdependent organism. The fact that ecosystems thrive (or don't) is not the result of organic coordination but a property that emerges (or fails) because of individuals filling various niches, mostly opportunistically.

Collectivist ideologies not only get this wrong but adopt the murderous belief that the people who aren't getting it wrong are the problem. Those people must be bent, broken, or destroyed until they believe or at least stop not believing.

Of course, human beings have a high capacity for collaboration and intentional cooperation, to our mutual benefit, but that doesn't change the basic fact that societies are ecosystem-like. It just explains how we fill our niches. And it doesn't change.

Collectivist ideologies like Communism are therefore wrong theories of human nature, doomed to fail, kill and destroy.

It will not work this time.

You and yours cannot make it work. You cannot crack the code. There's no code to crack, and trying just turns into cracking skulls in pursuit of total failure.

An Afghan illegal immigrant who lied about his age after breaking into Britain in the back of a lorry before stabbing an innocent man to death in the street has been allowed to plead manslaughter to avoid a murder charge. Unbelievable.

Henry Nowak protest - Police ready with riot gear and batons, grabs a man to the ground whilst hitting him.

Morocco supporters rioting - Police run away.

The difference is striking.
