Projected Sexual Dystopias

Let me start off by saying that I’m a Spiritual Optimist, and a Material Pessimist.

The Dual Pessimist is a boor to be around.  The Dual Optimist is a Sanguine Fool, who begins large projects but never completes them.  And as for the Spiritual Pessimist/Material Optimist?  These are the natural slaves of the world, boors who never dream bigger than their corporate job, but think you’re being a Negative Nelly for pointing out how badly run the company is, regardless of whether you’re offering solutions or not.

Me?  I dream big – I pursue the projects that most people think are insane and impractical.  In the long run, I’m an optimist.  But I’ve also spent enough time in the trades to know that everything is going to go wrong with the project, and that if you don’t start out resigned to hours of failure before you succeed, then the job is going to break you.

I write that to forewarn you that this is going to be a pessimistic post.  I’m writing about all the different ways things might go wrong.  If you’re looking for something life-affirming, something so chock-full of masculinity that it shines like the sun, go check out this piece by Edward Thatch on Return of Kings – and then, Filled to the Brim with positivity, we can get back to the task at hand.

In his post How to be a Great Man RooshV isolates three pillars that one ought to pursue: Game, Lifestyle, and Testosterone.

Note that all three must be present to some degree to put you on the road to greatness. Game only would make you an approach monkey. Lifestyle only would make you a mere interesting beta who spends a bit too much time in the friends zone. Testosterone only and you’re the meathead who has to get drunk just to do a basic approach.

In and of itself it’s a great post, but what I’d like to focus on are his last few paragraphs where he projects forward into the future.  One thing that’s evident to anyone over twenty-five is that the quality of women are rapidly declining.  I’m not talking about the obesity epidemic – my anecdotal evidence accumulator has no opinion on that matter – I’m talking about the decline in personality.

Quite frankly, most of the women I meet nowadays are trash – both those in my age range and those fresh off the assembly line.  On dates they expect to be entertained, they expect you to be witty when they can barely string together a coherent thought.  On approaches they’re cold, thinking that a harsh shut-down (of another human being who’s just trying to build a connection in this cold, empty universe) shows off how socially valuable they are.  And in relationships, they’re incredibly selfish; expecting all the traditional behaviour that a man embodies (leadership, dominance, adventure) while failing to provide the female half of the equation (nurture, submission, eagerness).

Note: This is a generalization, meaning that it’s generally true; there are exceptions out there.  The exceptions are the sort of Ladies I call friend, who are in utter agreement with me about what trash most other women are. #ReadingComprehension

Roosh projects this gradual degradation forward with his three pillars of masculinity, arguing that to be successful with the women of the future, you’ll need to be:

1. A Spam Approacher
2. Famous
3. On Steroids

As a straight-line graph, he’s bang on, but history doesn’t always follow that sort of pattern.  More often than not the upward trajectory winds up generating the precise sort of feedback that drags it back down.  In this case the faulty premise is “Female Independence”.

Women as a group have never been independent, and those who espouse Feminist Theory are the least independent of the bunch.  The vast majority are unwilling, and frequently incapable of working hard enough to actually be independent, relying on a foul mix of Affirmative Action legislation, subsidies, and welfare to achieve an “equality” to what men are able to accomplish without so many safety nets.  To see this in action, lets visit our favourite Canary in the Coal Mine – the black ghetto.

In the ghetto you see almost exactly what Roosh is describing, albeit with some cultural variants (successful drug dealer instead of movie star); the women’s hypergamy is out of control, and only the most “Alpha” of the males get to breed.  Any sensitivity or decency is quickly screened out, in favour of the Trayvon Martins of the world.  It’s R-Type behaviour run amok.

“”I don’t need no man to take care of me!”

R-Type behaviour only exists within certain environments, however: in a warm, tropical climate, where to be “successful” all a woman needs to do is stroll down to the riverbank and eat a mango – or in an artificially created setting.  The black ghetto is R-Type thanks to three main artifices:

1. Welfare: misplaced White Guilt causes most people in America to turn a blind eye to the fact that the Ghetto Lifestyle – wanting as it might be – is almost entirely funded by middle-class tax payers.
2. The Prison-Industrial Complex: at any given time roughly 5% of black men are in prison, and it’s safe to say that most of those inmates aren’t coming from the middle class.  This culling of the male population relieves some of the inter-male tension.
3. An Imposed Police Presence: the laws of our society reflect a stable, 1950s-style situation, where (presumably) obeying the law means you get to have a job and a wife; the ghetto is like a foreign land.  Without cops, “Beta” males would be arming themselves and dealing with the Sociopaths and Sneaky Males.

For an R-Type, Hypergamous environment to exist you need the consent of the Men; Men as taxpayers, Men as White Knight enforcers, and Men as – ultimately – validators of the woman’s worth.

Women are utterly terrified of shaming tactics, and the only reason they’re getting away with so much ill behaviour is because men in general are not calling them on their shit.

Right now, as bad as things are, they aren’t bad enough for most men to do anything about it.  They live in a reality manufactured by TV and movies, which still promises them the sort of life which existed back in the 50s – work hard, obey the law, get the girl.  Women are still subtle enough about their mating strategies that most Betas haven’t caught on that they’ve been left in the lurch, few of them have seen the sheer, exposed female Id that those of us in the Manosphere understand.  As a result, they support women’s misbehaviour, even going so far as buying them dinner even though women are making just as much, if not more, than the average guy.

However, all of that changes as we approach Roosh’s Hypergamy Singularity; at some point even the most oblivious Beta will see the forest for the trees, and they’ll no longer be willing to support the Female Imperative.  The day Betas stop White Knighting, is the day that terror kills the rationalization hamster.

It’s not a question of equilibrium – how much bitchiness can they get away with? – this is a dynamic cycle.  Women are getting bitchier; they’ll continue to do so, doubling down and driving more and more Men to Game and MGTOW, but in the meantime a few shining lights will begin to appear; women who want Real Men (not MRAs), who embrace the Female Virtues, and who are avowed anti-feminists.

Eventually a strong reversal will happen; I expect it to coincide with the Greatest Depression.  The next ten years will be interesting.

At least, that’s if everything holds constant; a Black Swan could seriously mess things up.  I’m looking at you, Post-Scarcity.

Post-Scarcity is the ultimate dream – a world where nobody has to work because all of our systems are automated – but it could easily turn into our worst nightmare.  Given our present culture, even the best case scenario is a spiritual degradation.

With no material wants, women will choose men purely on Dark Triad traits – sociopaths and criminals.  With no workplace enforced behaviour code, soft-harems will become acknowledged-harems, followed up by demands for more domestic legislation, which will only target the upper-betas – never the sociopathic mega-Alphas.  More and more, lesser Betas will turn to the addictions of videogames and porn, causing an imbalance in the sex-ratio, which will lead to sluttier behaviour from the women.

A hedonist’s paradise perhaps, but it’s an empty paradise.  Star Trek imagined that the Post Scarcity Elites would teach themselves Cello, and explore the stars, but if women are flocking en mass to crystallized Dark Triads, then… why bother?

Don’t think this is far-off science fiction, either; Post Scarcity is already here in its infancy.  I’d love to hear Aaron Clarey and HPX83‘s take on this, but as a rough guess I’d say that half the jobs out there are not economically productive; they seem to have more to do with Soviet make-work programs than Adam Smith.  And I’m not just talking about government jobs, either – the last major company I worked for had an entire floor of people doing pretty much the same thing as your wireless router.  There was no excuse for my job existing – and yet it did.

There’s something rotten in the State of Denmark.

In theory this should be impossible, right?  Collusion, lobbying, corruption – sure, those are understandable hiccups in the Free Market that lead to decreased competition, but it shouldn’t allow outright idiocy and incompetence to dominate on the highest levels, should it?  It’s easy to dismiss because we’re all Good Austrians around these parts, but the older any of us get the more obvious it becomes.

Either God has made a mistake, or our Theory is wrong.

As I’ve pointed out before, people are more than just Economic Actors; culture is a heuristic, it determines what we see, and what we don’t.  And our culture is narcissistic; a media elite, a corporate elite, dominated by Sneaky Males who tell the women what they want to hear, who justify their outrageous behaviour, who are perfectly willing to run corporations that employ hundreds of them at useless jobs, while crushing the Betas under the weight of Sexual Harassment policy…

It’s a complex topic, and there are still a lot of directions this could go.  Over the next few days I’ll be exploring other facets of female misbehaviour; it’s become toxic sludge in our society…

…and ultimately it’s up to us Men of True Grit to call them out on it.
