Podcasting Update: the Alt Right, Virtue, and Gamma Males
I have recently been on several podcasts, where we discussed both the contemporary issues faced by the men of the West, as well as the eternal struggles that men of all eras have faced.
The first included Matt Forney, and Jolly Crocodile, discussing the cult-like degradations into base hedonism that are popping up throughout the Alternative Right. On the one hand, these voices are simply the loud minority, but I worry that Gresham’s Law will come into play here, the bad voices driving out the good.
(I’m happy to say that this one very much struck a nerve, hopefully those who disagreed will reconsider their hard-line stances.)
Following that, I was invited to join T.L. on his “Praise of Folly” podcast, in which we discussed the spiritual issues that underlie these political ideologies; the need for virtue, and for meaning within the social sphere:
Finally, Forney had me on his own podcast, along with Melissa Mészáros and Daniel Friberg, in which we discussed the nature of the Gamma Male – the male who embraces snark and treachery, while pretending to honour and intellectual integrity. Be on the lookout for these erstwhile adventuring companions:

I personally don’t see the .Alt Right as degenerate though, most of it is closer to Vox Day and Men of the West not the troll elements. Its somewhat tolerant of homosexuality in places but than so is nearly everyone in the west
Its not really a thing though, it doesn’t have leaders or much of a large scale order. Its a self organizing leaderless life way . The closest to a manifesto is the 16 Points of Vox Day but even that doesn’t speak fo everyone
As for the traps, its nonsensical, trolling , its not even MGTOW , its just a-holes being a-holes . Most of the >alt Right are not like that
Also re: White Sharia . I think you are missing the point, it has nothing to do with Islam but its a memetic shorthand for the same moral revival you want . Simply, unless women in a prosperous Western society are tightly controlled , restricted from excess education , assumed to marry , kept away from careers than those societies won’t have babies
Its ugly but there is a lot of truth for in it.
