Summary: Both the far-Left and far-Right have become revolutionary movements. Both are recruiting Americans – in the name of our values – for the final showdown. Here’s are examples. This post is a play with four acts.
As America’s intelligentsia moves Left, their products become increasingly strange. As in this advertisement by Red Robin. Whatever the intent of the its executives, this is recruitment video for alt-right and men’s movement groups. The Proud Boys and others should post it everywhere.
Subtext: “Have pride men! Be strong! Or you too will be treated with contempt by women.”
Check for sexism by reversing the genders in this advertisement and imagine it running on TV. How would feminists react?
Contrast this with a advert from our past
Comic books and other print media ran Charles Atlas advertisements from the 1940s through the 1960s (perhaps even later). Compare the two advertisements to see how our society has changed. Which kind of America is best suited for the storms of the 21st century, with challenges both foreign and domestic? As a thought experiment, imagine how Washington’s cabinet would react to both ads. Which would they prefer?
See this comment posted about Charles Atlas. Nicely said!
“Charles Atlas ads were never to put down women or do anything except make men stronger. Charles Atlas the man helped woman’s rights, healthcare and also helped get men ready that were going into the armed services at that time. Charles Atlas was a true American Hero and everyone could use his ideals in today’s world. He never believed in harming others unless it was the last resort. He had impeccable manners as well.”
See the world thru feminist eyes
I recommend reading “The Cut” on Medium – “Showing the world what women are made of.” It does just as promised. For example:
“What Happens When a Married Woman Goes on Tinder?”
“It started as an experiment. What I found made me want more.”
A wife goes on Tinder “as an experiment.” She gets excited. Nothing happens, at least in her version of the story — at least until the point at which the story was written. But she seems ready for infidelity, and has already justified it in her mind. See the opening and ending.
“I’ve spent a lot of time thinking and talking and writing about marriage, and I’d begun to notice more and more women subverting, reimagining, or challenging received notions surrounding the institution, specifically when it came to monogamy. More women were beginning to see opening their marriages as a legitimate and in many ways appealing option. …
“They {the women on Tinder} wanted the things I used to want, and I in turn wanted what they had — freedom, excitement, interesting conversations that didn’t center on styles of child-rearing or real estate, the experience of moving through the world not exclusively as a wife or mother but as a sexual being, a full and complicated and multifaceted person, the experience of being wooed, wanted, admired, acknowledged, and seen. Perhaps married women were simply beginning to want what married men have always wanted and come to expect: more.”
All the boxes are checked. She’s ready for a ride on the wild side. She has already worked out why her infidelity will be her husband’s fault. Here we see the thinking that produces the high divorce numbers.
This also shows a seldom-mentioned aspect of modern society. Young women are not being instructed by or learning from older women (hence so many young women panicking as they approach “the wall” at 30). Instead, older women are learning from younger women about the joys of being unleashed from conventions. It’s the first step to divorce.
“I’ve always felt like an average-looking woman, a solid 6 or maybe a 7 if I bother to wear mascara, but swiping through my matches and messages, I felt like a special species. I felt coveted and appreciated and valued and desired. Why isn’t every married woman in the world on Tinder, I began to wonder. It all felt the way romance was supposed to feel – playful and exciting and unserious.”
This woman captures in one paragraph feelings that Dalrock and others have written about in a hundred posts. The thrill of casual hookups, romance and sex unfettered to anything enduring or “serious.” Excitement and tingles rule! Does she “bother to wear mascara for her husband”, or (after marriage) just for strangers?
This is a stage in Girls’ Game: romance, party-of-her-life, marriage, kids, divorce, money (community property & child support, details here), and independence.
Men responding to the new Women
We can already see the obvious and natural responses by men: losing interest in marriage and (just emerging) divorcing feminist wives (hopefully before their first child). But those are low-level responses. Men shape the world by standing together to pursue larger goals. The rise of alt-right groups is an inevitable result of the Left’s fantastic success at implementing their experiments in social engineering since 1960 (e.g., open borders, gender relations).
The Left has embraced sexism and racism, favoring their chosen groups, reversing generations of work. The Right in turn reciprocates, embracing their dark side. Down we go, towards a fate nobody can foresee.
This is the real prisoner’s dilemma. You are thrown into prison. Alone you are fresh meat, nothing but a victim. There is safety only by joining a gang, so you look around the yard. There are the Puerto Ricans, the Black Muslims, MS-13, and the White Nazi Bikers. Choose one.
The middle is dead in America. This is the essence of Weimerica. If America continues down this path, each of us will face such a choice. The specifics will differ, but the choices will be no better. We must create a new middle, a new politics. The choice is ours. We will make the decisive choice either voluntarily now or by force later.
“The Second Coming” by Yeats.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity. …

Learning about the alt-Right
The Left’s sexism and racism are respectable, featured in the major news media. The Left works to suppress the expression of the Right’s equivalent (my fav: running an interview with Vox Day sparked regime change plus abject apology at a comics website). It is futile.
Theodore Robert Beale (born 1968, Wikipedia), AKA Vox Day, is an American writer, editor, video game designer, blogger and alt-right activist. Here is a summary of his views: “The #MilRight is inevitable.”
“The answer isn’t white supremacy because white supremacy simply isn’t true. Whites are not superior, but whites are the only tribe willing and able to maintain Western civilization because they are the only tribe that truly values it. The answer for those who support Western civilization, regardless of sex, color, or religion, is to embrace white tribalism, white separatism, and especially white Christian masculine rule.”
