‘The anger is real, and much of it is justified… and if we’re not able to have honest and difficult conversations soon, I strongly suspect we’re all headed to a very dark place’ — Asha Logos
In my few years on this platform, I’ve never received such an outpouring of hate for a post.. and on one hand, I get it – I spoke a bit harshly, flippantly and inartfully, and a cathartic post I thought might get just a handful of likes and largely be ignored was passed through networks of tens of thousands of folks who have no idea of who I am or where I’m coming from.
I also said some jarring things.. that I’m sure even upset a handful of genuine and well-meaning people.
but.. along with the outpouring of hatred, it’s also near 10k ‘likes’, indicating that I’m far from alone, here.. even if most who agree would rather stay silent, for the moment.
I wanted to just say a few words about this divide, because I think it’s an exceptionally significant and era-defining one:
Many of you have absolutely no idea how disconnected many young men feel – especially White males – when it comes to the general trajectory of their nation(s), over recent decades. It no longer feels familiar, comfortable, or like home.
As some of my recently posted images show, we’re being essentially locked out of the corporate world, with Bloomberg bragging about how 95% of new hires are non-White.. we’re now (by far – and it’s not even close) the most aggressively discriminated against group with regard to Ivy league admissions. Hollywood and corporate media has long been completely dominated by a hostile group, so there aren’t options there.. trying to get a job in tech – esp in a place like SF, as a non ‘woke’ White male – is the steepest of uphill battles.. one could go on listing examples here for quite awhile.
A great many now openly laugh at and mock these hopeless and disaffected, as the income of White Americans plummets (now far below the Indian and Chinese migrants our corporations import – and no longer even in the same ballpark as Jewish-Americans), depression and suicide and drug addiction rates skyrocket, and we’re increasingly locked out of this new world being created by the Finks, Soros’, Rothschilds, and their political/financial class allies and puppets.
In a very real sense, it’s killing many of us.. and a large subset on the other side actually seems thrilled by this.
Moreover, historical cycles seem to be repeating.. a leading reason Rome fell is because she essentially opened her floodgates, granted citizenship to all, and eventually lost her unique spirit. In attempting to represent absolutely everything and everyone, she ended up representing no one, and a nihilistic apathy inevitably came to dominate. Late stage Rome became a mere corporate/economic construct – empty, void of substance, seeking power only to enrich the grasping/ambitious parasites and vultures feeding off of her once great corpse.
Not only are our own borders wide open, in the U.S., but we’re now openly discussing the prospect of allowing the tens of millions of illegals to enlist.. a shift that would’ve been unbelievable, even just a decade ago. Every day this nation feels less and less recognizable, and less like home, to so many of us.
Anyone who thinks our founding fathers – or those courageous (if misled) men who stormed Normandy – would look at this trajectory and applaud it, is either ignorant or foolish.
In the absence of substantive unifying factors, we’re told we should rally around vague ideas, and concepts – for example, many still claim our armed forces fight for ‘our freedoms’.. even as members of our political class literally fly to Israel, to sign bills restricting the speech of their own citizens, and as nearly half the nation loses all faith in the legitimacy of our elections, while our gov’t increasingly openly speaks of us as the enemy.
Many of us feel our political class (and our nation as a whole) has essentially been captured, and we intuit only hatred and malevolence emanating from the top, from men like Mayorkas, or our puppet President.. and virtually nothing about this new world resonates with us, or inspires or energizes – as we watch our streets get ever dirtier and less safe, IQ and life expectancy falling, our quality of life and general standards of behavior drop to ever new lows, those who dare say a word about it tend to be met with a conditioned response of ‘incel’, or accusations of being a hateful racist/misogynist.. or, just told we’re generally terrible people.
You can mock, deride, cheer on this wholesale replacement and aggressive disempowerment – but don’t expect us to join you in the cheering this brutally disheartening downward spiral and civilizational collapse.. and I’d suggest you mock (or completely ignore) these voices at your own peril.
The anger is real, and much of it is justified.. and if we’re not able to have honest and difficult conversations soon, I strongly suspect we’re all headed to a very dark place.
