The COVID-9/11 pandemic is over. With the failure of Omicron to capture the imaginations of only the most unimaginative midwits, the question now is how do we move forward from here.
While we can rejoice that the threat to life and limb from COVID-9/11 may be effectively over, there is still the threat in its name to our liberty and sanity from those who profit most from the fear of the virus.
The aftershocks from COVID-9/11 will be with us for the foreseeable future. An entire generation has been scarred by this manufactured apocalypse and there will be no going back to the way things were.
We’d been warned by so many for so long. From investigative journalists, to the rare honest politician to the film-makers and artists who crafted stories for us to contemplate the lurking dangers in our deteriorating society.
Conditions were ripe for those in power to take maximal advantage of the fear from COVID-9/11. And they did so, enthusiastically.
The warnings were clear. There are toxic people out there who would rather destroy the world to hold onto their power rather than admit defeat.
Looking at where we are now reminds me, funnily enough, of 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road. A brilliant fever dream of a movie that portrayed a world in a post-rational, post-civilizational state.
At it’s core Fury Road’s conflict is asking the question, “Who broke the world?” History had been erased to the point where the people living in this hell couldn’t even form the question into an indictment beyond the most base and reductionist caricature of gender roles.
Those who think this is the movie’s perspective have read it all wrong, unfortunately. It’s easy to do given the elevation of Furiosa to near leading lady status. Many have remarked that Mad Max is a bystander in his own movie.
They, again, are wrong. Max, in all of the sequels to the original, has been this mythic figure who wanders into a deeply disturbed existential crisis for some outpost in the Wasteland. That’s the setup for these films. And in this one he is brought into the most out-of-balance one yet, where every destructive tendency of men and masculinity runs rampant and has strangled the people and the last outpost of life nearly to death.
Bear with me, this stuff is really important.
Man? Woman? I’m the Guy With the Microphone
Back to the ‘real world.’
Thankfully in our post-COVID world we still have some sense of our history, though those in charge have decided to only allow a version of it that is even more cartoonish than the world of Fury Road in an attempt to erase it.
Every instance where someone tries to frame a counter-argument to this cartoon is met with ever more strident claims of gender oppression and white supremacy.
We’ve reached a point where those with any dissenting point of view are systematically shut down, censored, silenced or worse. Words are violence in the new Woke West, dontcha’ know? But by taking the position that the ‘other side’ isn’t allowed to speak, they speak volumes about the fragility of their grasp on power.
Ideas that cannot be challenged, that cannot bear even the slightest scrutiny, are ideas that can’t evolve. It doesn’t matter whether they are right or wrong.
They are static, mechanical and ultimately devoid of life itself.
This is our world today in the hands of the Woke Left, a world where the destructive and vindictive feminine has been elevated to the point of unimpeachable rightness. But this isn’t any kind of healthy feminine. It’s a Furiosa-like feminine, devoid of nurturing, all implied violence, all sexuality suppressed to the point of masculinity.
Look at Furiosa and tell me it isn’t asking another vital question, “In a dying world, is there any room for fertility while clinging like moss for survival?”
In our world feminism has robbed women of their greatest attribute, the ability to gestate and nurture life itself. Hollywood has spent two generations giving us female action heroes who are ultimately nothing more than Doods with Boobs. It’s the ultimate power fantasy of Third Wave feminism.
It’s not as destructive an archetype as the sluts on Sex in the City, mind you, because at least it can be tied in some ways back to motherhood, i.e. Ripley in James Cameron’s Aliens, but it’s still damaging to the cause of the healthy feminine nonetheless.
Furiosa is what happens when gender roles are maximally out of balance.
This claiming of the microphone, this flooding the airwaves with anti-white/anti-male propaganda is itself a very dangerous strategy. First, because it’s disgusting and hateful but second, because it will spark a pendulum swing that will shock everyone.
By not allowing people to speak and work through what is bad AND good about the state of the world, it robs people of more than their voice. It robs them, ultimately, of their identity.
Which brings me back to Fury Road.
The Man With No Name
Max never refers to himself as Max in Fury Road until the very end. Even in the unfortunate Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome he’s some other persona — “Raggedy Man,” “The Man With No Name,” or the reincarnation of “Captain Walker.”
He’s lost everything, including his sense of self. He’s purely a survivor now. There is no Max anymore. The Wasteland has stripped him of this.
Multiple times in Fury Road he’s asked his name. Every time he doesn’t answer.
This is the key to reading Fury Road as a Mad Max movie, not a Furiosa movie, as the woke propagandists who masquerade as film critics and commentators would have you believe.
Furiosa knows what she is, she’s looking for redemption for her sins, which are she abandoned her fertility to serve a literal blood god who farms women for their breast milk and given his Warboys purpose only through their sacrifice to him if only to be ‘witnessed’ doing so.
There is no life for the Warboys in this world, since they can’t reproduce, so their initiation into manhood is becoming ‘shiny and chrome,’ worshipping their cars — the only recognizable technology left from the old world, except for guns.
They worship the mechanical, the cold, the lifeless. Cars don’t bring life. But all that repressed energy gets turned into the grotesque creations they drive (insanely) across the Wasteland. They are the ultimate symbol of the static masculine.
The only things this economy produces is food, guns, and gas.
Since Immortan Joe hordes everything, especially the water and the food, he can maintain the stranglehold on life itself, the only women capable of giving birth.
Into this nightmare a healthy Max is a resource, a literal blood bank, who gets caught up in Furiosa’s plans to escape with the only symbols of fertility left in this world, the concubines.
From here Fury Road is that redemption plot we all know so well. But they don’t find redemption in the Wasteland, only the seeds to rebuilding the world. It is Max who realizes the only life left is back where they came from.
And it quite literally says, there is no ‘better world’ out there than the one we live in. To begin unbreaking the world you have to go back to the one you have and fix it. You can’t run away. Clean your room, if I can invoke Dr. Peterson here.
It is on this leg of the Fury Road that Max and Furiosa fully work together to bring down the charnal house that Joe built.
It’s only then when he freely gives up some of himself, his blood, to save Furiosa at the end that he offers her his name, regaining his identity for the first time since the Toecutter’s gang ran down his wife and daughter when the world was only damaged, not broken.
And it is with that simple act of kindness, that Fury Road asserts itself as Max’s movie.
But Max still has sins that he can’t wash away. He will forever be the gargoyle that guards the gates of the cathedral. It’s not because men aren’t welcome there. Furiosa knows now what good men look like. The balance between men and women can begin again but not with Max.
He knows what he is and knows salvation isn’t for men like him.
This is why he can’t ascend to the Promised Land at the end of the film, just like each previous film in the series. It has zero to do with the film being woke or dismissive of men in any symbolic sense.
Healing the Gender Divide
Unfortunately, our divided world has destroyed our ability to recognize any balance in this conversation. As I’ve previously argued about the Disney Star Wars films, the deep divisions between men and women, the inversion of gender roles in our society, clouds our judgment of them because so many are afraid of the answers they offer.
YouTube has empowered an entire sub-culture of MGTOW’s, itself the ultimate expression of male weakness in the face of toxic femininity, to obsess about these things and drive ad revenue to them.
Their hate has made them powerful. They hold sway over a whole rotten sub-culture wallowing in their hate.
We have a toxic femininity problem. Retreating into masculine safe spaces looks attractive, a kind of ‘Going Galt’ until women get less crazy. But it’s the wrong response. Because those same women who say the most hateful things about men, are really pleading for us to step up and be protectors, like Max becomes to Furiosa and the other women.
Saying any of that doesn’t mean we didn’t or don’t have a toxic masculinity problem. But the way to female strength is not denying men or white people or binaries or whatever the fuck they’re labeling us with today access to the microphone. That way madness lies.
That way leads to Immortan Joe and a broken world where the reality of male physical superiority is left unchecked by the tempering presence of the divine feminine and their ability to bring life into the world.
Unfortunately, we live in a world ruled by Communists who spend every waking hour undermining these basic truths about humanity in their Quixotic quest for power and control.
The chaos of COVID-9/11 while we’re all anxious about our failing economic system, a creation of rent-seeking oligarchs, erecting this Citadel of Exclusion is now condoned by previously normal people gripped by a madness that is far deeper than we want to admit to ourselves.
Friends and family, storeowners and co-workers have been transformed into self-hating monstrosities willing to reduce everything that represents a challenge to their worldview into a symbol of oppression that further proves their loyalty to the nascent medical-industrial complex.
COVID-9/11 drove far too many to this state. They reject the basics of virology, immunology and common sense to support their need for order. As the world broke they sunk further into madness, unable to cope anymore with the basic risks of living in the real world.
I’d go off on a rant about how destroying risk assessment in capital markets and the creation of new money through debt and financialization feeding the solipsism that we’d conquered the scarcity problem in modern society, but why bring up facts in an era where people have become allergic to them?
Getting off the Shining Path
This fear of living is what drives people to become cheerleaders for tyranny. To love their muzzles, proudly display their vax cards and fetishize their subservience to an authority just two years ago most would have distrusted to their core.
The same people who marched on D.C. in support of ‘gender equality’ in the name of a women’s right to choose to murder their unborn children now want to deny the unvaxxed a seat at the civilizational table. Got news for you, folks, there’s a barbarian in this room, and it ain’t the unvaxxed.
Now a false sense of shared purpose to fight the illusion of a pandemic energizes their fear, amplifies it into anger for those that disbelieve this illusion and turns it into self-righteous resentment for lengthening their agony.
Just get the clot shot, they argue and come on board for the big win over COVID, they screech from behind their shiny grills.
If it wasn’t so despicable and naïve, it would almost be tragic.
Because we, like the people of the world of Fury Road, are all in agony, even those that support what little societal order there is left.
This is the post-COVID world Davos has planned for us, worshipping the images of ourselves on our screens. Shaking our asses nihilistically on Tik-Tok or OnlyFans, if only to be ‘witnessed’ in our debasement for a few minutes. Trading our dignity for a dopamine hit and our principles for a paycheck.
The push now is to take from the heretics to the COVID-9/11 Death Cult all that is left of the old world. The Immortan Joes of Davos will hoard their part of the shrinking pile of assets and send out their diseased and maniacal Warboys (and girls) to enforce this new Utopia.
Arguing with conviction the unvaxxed should be left in the cold, unable to leave their homes, take a walk in the sun, share a meal with their loved ones or have access to medical care.
Unlike Fury Road we know who broke the world. They did.
But they blame those still willing to face the risk of living in the real world from partaking in it, lest we make a mockery of their selfishness and unquenchable envy.
That’s what scares them the most. And that’s where we find the strength to stare them down and build our own ways forward. Because if we don’t start doing that now, if we don’t stop pining for the world that was and accept the world that is, there is no hope of fixing anything.

So are you going to kill or be killed? words, lawsuits and youtube videos do nothing. the right and christians are weak cowards.
If that’s your only conception of building a new future, then what the fuck are you doing reading my blog?
This reply is why I’m reading your blog!
Tom wrote a brilliant article and that is your response? Usually, I am never at a loss for words but I am right now.
“if we don’t stop pining for the world that was and accept the world that is, there is no hope of fixing anything”
It’s a world still collapsing. That’s what I see. And we ain’t seen nothing yet. It looks like it’ll keep going on for the for the foreseeable future. I’m not sure how we can fix anything when breakage is the dominant theme globally, although we do need people who can see to the other side of this and inspire hope.
Tom, I look forward to your insightful essays. I am from Florida, and moved to France in 2018 to avoid the collapse…in USA.now the EU and France in particular is collapsing as we speak, with Macron the “Emperor”/Napoleon calling the shots on behalf of Davos. It is getting rough on the unwashed fuck vax people. Florida is looking better and better so now thinking of moving back. Will it survive the Covid 9/11 fallout, as one one the last states standing erect? Cheers, Tom
Enjoyed that, thanks.
I think largely in terms of Palpatine and stormtroopers when I think about Davosians and the Woken SS and I suspect once we are all polarised to the extremes it will be Brownshirts vs Browncoats, but Immortan Joe and Warboys is also an excellent metaphor. I’ll use that myself if I may?
Of course I disagree with your final analysis – you think our Immortan Joe can be prevented from establishing his worldly kingdom and I think it’s too late. Yet his ascent is awakening millions and will even result in a number of his Warboys coming to their senses, as did Nux in Fury Road – the depth of Immortan Joe’s depravity as he establishes his kingdom will be epiphanal for many.
I guess it depends what we care about – is building a new future about winning a battle, or a war?
I refuse to invest energy trying to exasperate our Immortan Joe – he’s won this one. As did Hitler and Mao before him.
I will however fight to save Nux.
Because if it’s too late to be a lion, be a lamb.
Phony covid-mania has bitten the dust…..the zombies are dead. Let’s hope so. I don’t know what post-communist worlds look like ………lots of smallholdings springing up? Let’s hope so.
It seems like the original Poltergeist is a more apt analogy for today. Picture Biden singing “The Lord is in His Holy Temple” like the white haired preacher. Tell me Biden isn’t a doppelganger?
Lots of “true” (non movie) poltergeist have been investigated over the years, and (insert surprise here) they have found natural causes / explanations for them. A strong draft blowing down a chimney, wood furniture that has dried to the point it is cracking or disintegrating in place, etc.
It turns out that if one stops acting like a frightened child, and (gasp!!!) acts like an adult — the poltergeist turns out to be mostly in one’s head.
Biden is still a walking corpse. If the federal government were more functional, we would be able to attract better candidates from both parties. A hopelessly dysfunctional organization is going to attract losers to run and operate it, sorry folks.
Biden was corrupt in his prime, and he has clearly lost it. But get rid of him and then what? Everyone hates Harris. Pelosi is the wicked witch from the west. Schumer is an idiot, and closer to corpse than alive. McConnell is a corpse but lost the dead preacher role to Biden. Go ahead and scan down the top 10-15 spots on either party, and you will find corpses and losers. The bureaucracy is absolutely over-run with corruption — even the pentagon is mostly corrupt with some incompetence mixed in.
The only way to “fix” the government would be to go GE or IBM on it — slash the headcount by more than 50% and crush the status quo culture. Even then, IBM and GE aren’t exactly fixed. The mega-corporations that didn’t slash headcount and radically change corporate culture are all gone.
The Church is run by a socialist moron, the second living pope (lower case on purpose). They handled the pedophilia problem about as well as the US Congress.
How about sports coaches? Lets not talk about that UPenn guy, we already covered pedophiles. How many sports stars are making millions but caught up in all sorts of messes of their own creation? Drugs, crime, domestic abuse, dog fighting, gambling.
Big corporate CEOs? Selfish pricks who believe their own PR hype. The company only opens for business because of ME!!! The other 20,000 employees are just in the way. There are cults with more healthy org charts.
The freaky looking preacher part is obviously cast — Biden. Watch one of the times the guy went off script and tell me he doesn’t sound like The Lord is in His Holy Temple crazy.
I don’t see a public figure playing the role of Mad Max — sacrificing for future generations. The feminine isn’t supposed to nurture the next generation by herself, classic literature not withstanding. Its was always supposed to be a joint venture of both genders
Tom, love your amazing work, but you have missed the mark on MGTOW. Youtube has been no friend to the manosphere and never was. Understanding female nature and the feminine imperative is essential for any man dipping his toes into today’s dating market. Social media has inflated hypergamic expectations and women’s requirements for potential partners, and Tinder/hookup culture their ability to pair bond. In the internet age, it’s only when the feminine mystique is dissolved that a man can truly be prepared to find a legitimate partner capable of starting, and maintaining, a family. You are correct that destruction of the family plays right into the hands of Davos, but it will take failure of the State- where government is no longer to be in a position to replace men in terms of women’s needs- in order to restore the much needed balance between the genders and restoration of the family. Until this happens, many men who swallow red pills will continue to go their own way, lest they lose their wealth, parental investment and sanity to a system and society that promotes the female experience as the correct one.
The CEO of Southwest Airlines just tested positive for Covid, less than two days after his testimony at clown school in DC.
The CEO had two mRNA shots **AND** also had a booster shot. Still got covid anyway.
F the employees of google, twitter and faceplant for their false claims that one can’t get covid if you have are fully Fauci’d. Obviously the silicon boob brains are spreading demonstrably false information.
Colin Powell had both shots and died from Covid. Sorry, but how exactly is death not a severe outcome?
Now back to our TWO WEEKS of illegal confinement ordered by the same guy who illegally sent taxpayer money to create covid in the first place. Same guy who experimented on foster children for AIDS, same sick bastard who got off torturing puppies with sand flies, and same guy who said don’t/do/don’t wear a mask — no wear two masks, cause I am the science.
People who get off torturing animals are generally serial killers. What the hell is wrong with NIH?
While we’re at it, F the CEO of Southwest Airlines, too. Pussy boy Gary fell right in line with his government masters. Thank God the men (and women) in the cockpit had the balls to stand up to him.
“Ideas that cannot be challenged, that cannot bear even the slightest scrutiny, are ideas that can’t evolve. It doesn’t matter whether they are right or wrong.”
Ideas that cannot be challenged are part of what is known as dogma.
Joe Biden is a perfect doppelganger for the priest in Poltergeist (the Lord is in His Holy Temple dude)
BoJo looks like one of the actors in Dumb and Dumber
Macron looks an awful lot like Mr Bean.
When I see Angela Merkel, I want to sing the Lollipop Gang song from Wizard of Oz.
…
I don’t see how we make the leap from horror and clownshow genre to Mad Max?!?!
I wish COVID was over but it looks like Omicron will be used to cover up deaths from the clot shots!
https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-12-17-cdc-warned-15000-americans-will-die-each-week-vaccine-death-wave.html
Look at charts of new cases….either there is a new metric or Covid is not over….
https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-global-pandemic-trend/a-53954594
COVID is over in an emotional sense. That doesn’t mean it’s over in a policy sense. We’re over it. The politicians and the shitbag oligarchs are still trying to use it for their purposes. That conflict will continue breaking the world.
I appreciate the deep dive into the cultural aspect of social-economic decline in the United States. Most sane, private, well-cultured citizens here would have been content to ignore this entire clown show, launched March 2020. “It’ll blow over in a year or two,” my spouse and I said in an exasperated sigh, after witnessing civilization’s 96-hour mental implosion. Sad. (I miss Trump but only for the triggering tweets!)
Savvy people who understand mass psychology and, above all, history had been content to ignore this—to wait it out. But I think the system really crossed the rubicon when they mandated employer-based vaccinations, after expressly saying for months that they would not. This is down not just to the criminals in DC, but to the employers themselves. There is NO coming back from this. It’s a complete and utter violation of the public trust. A total undermining of societal norms, precedents, sensibilities, and so on.
So in the last several months, we watched the time for waiting hit expiry. I expected people to rush the stage, and frankly can only explain the absence of moral outrage and social action with similar appraisals on gender roles, corrupt educational institutions, and in general, dying intellects.
I agree with the assessment in your last and very humorous piece that even a dumbed-down public won’t abide another health terror campaign. So what shape is this going to take?
Not all employers…just the big ones. They and the criminals in DC are one and the same. The sooner you figure this out, the better for you.
I think a lot of people will struggle to grasp your essential thesis Tom, that we live in a post-Covid world, and that Europe is a nothing in an East West nothing-burger. But nothing has a flavour unfortunately. In the Great Leap Backwards, nothing is having neither physical rights to your body nor your property. Your prognostication for Europe is economic crisis in 2022. How do you see this playing out? Do you agree with Martin Armstrong that they will simply rig all the elections?
They will try to rig the elections, but will they succeed here in the U.S…. not likely, not in the same way they did in 2020.
We see them now. You can’t pull this off twice.
As for the thesis, it’s not that we are post-COVID in the political sense but in the ‘we’re so over this shit’ sense, we definitely are.
Sadly, it’s not over in the minds of people everywhere. Behind the lines of one of the formerly (until 2020) more-functional “blue states,” I have a triple jabbed co-worker who was afraid to go to the company’s OUTDOOR holiday party because she “didn’t want to get Omicron.” And plenty of places/events around here still have mask and jab mandates, and it’s only getting worse, not better. The saving grace is my muzzle-mandated municipality can usually only muster 50% compliance most days, but it’s an outlier.
There are, sadly, a bunch of delusional fools in the world. Same fools who think 1/6 was an “insurrection” and not an FBI false-flag that ensnared a few goobers taking selfies.
A very thoughtful piece, Tom. You echo a lot of what I’ve felt for a long time. Those pushing this gender dysfunction, the restroom-confused, “I am my pronouns” crowd, are at the root of all of our problems. Some are feminists. Others are LGBT. Either way, they hate too much. They are consumed with hate. They would never understand that I do not hate them as they hate me. I wish them peace and God’s love. Alas, they are too far gone. xFor a long time now, I’ve felt that the best way forward is to simply let them scream and screech while the rest of us get on with the task at hand. If they don’t want to be part of it, that’s fine. Their choice. Doesn’t matter to me either way at this point. I’m done with their drama. Completely and utterly done.
Sometimes a “Time out” is the best response to juvenile misbehavior. Let them screech; Remove them from positions of responsibility and leave a supper plate with dessert by the door for when they settle down.
Nice. Yes, I approve heartily.
Tom:
Excellent as always! If you’re not on Gab already, please go check it out but don’t dismiss it due to the scaled down nature when compared to Twitter. They are creating a “parallel economy” there unfettered by censorship. They are also building their own payments service with gabpay. The point is they are building something censorship proof there and that takes time but it also takes participants.
Sure, there are fake racist fed posters and bots who are there to give the appearance of “racism” but these plants are generally recognized as the fakes they are and are ignored. The future is Gab because the future is based upon Christian Nationalism…
Chris, I was a founding member of Gab back in 2016, my problem there is my voice goes nowhere. I wish it went further. I’ll pop in and make an appearance… same as my twitter handle… @TFL1728…
Your allusion to The Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso in Peru) is worth discussing. This brutal communist group started terrorizing the country in the 1970’s and started to lose clout in the 21st century, effectively closing down almost three decades of terror and economic disruption in Peru. Assuming Covid started in 2019, then must we similarly expect three decades of terror?
“we see them now. They can’t pull this off twice” hope you’re right. They’re going to try though. Zuck and his contribu-bots working the swing precincts arguably bought ’20 for $400million plus, it’s still legal and he’s still flush. Test tubes in Wuhan are still fizzing, scary bugs PRN. Fauci is unaccountably still breathing and pontificating(will no one rid us of this turbulent priest? give the job to the beagles, and sell it on PPV) . They have to figure it out quickly to get the mail-in scam ready if needed, and it will be.
To counter this, in the several states many armed “normal” people who are just now beginning to understand that normalcy will be a future memory of ragged folk if all these scum aren’t nudged off the earthly coil to a much warmer place. So the narrative must redefine normal. like anybody grew up thinking that being Pfizer’s experimental pin-cushion for the rest of your life is normal? There’s too many people who signed up enthusiastically to the new Nazi party for my liking.
I’ve never seen any of these movies, but after a few reads mostly get the point..Watch TV to see where the storm is during the season or old movies. And I can’t comment intelligently on anything concerning the fairer sex. Fortunately they have always taken care of that for me……

I imagine Tom will take some flak for this essay from the feminist “woke crowd” but if anyone wants to take a deep dive into all of this, what Tom writes about is a very real and incredibly paradoxical phenomenon.
Economist, Tyler Cowen, founder of The Marginal Revolution blog, thinks that the economics community should spend 10% of its resources on trying to understand the 1972-1974 infection point:
The Great Male Stagnation
https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2011/06/the-great-male-stagnation.html
He discusses this in detail in “The Portal” podcast with Eric Weinstein:
https://theportal.wiki/wiki/16:_Tyler_Cowen_-_The_Revolution_Will_Not_Be_Marginalized
——-
And concurrent to male stagnation is the decline in female happiness as illustrated by the following graph, which also shows ~ 1972 as the inflection point:

Janet Fiamengo discusses the trend here:

There is probably a Nobel Prize in economics waiting for someone who unravels this all… but it may need to wait for a time when our society can have a rational conversation about trends and data that do not conform to Left’s narrative.
For what it is worth…
Agreed!! and I identify as a feminist– but in the line of similar treatment of all not beating down (white) males for the past.
I’m expecting more restrictions in the UK. It will get tougher and I hope I will be strong. I also wonder how I could live with myself if I give in.
Tom, I liked this piece. I’m an American who moved to the Balkans to escape the USA 18 months ago. Now I’m headed for a flight tomorrow morning to Miami and back to the place I felt I couldn’t live even one more day when I left. Things change, gotta stay loose in these times. The women in Croatia are strong, seemingly stronger than the men. And the roles here are more defined and traditional than in the USA. These are the type of women who don’t feel it necessary to refer to themselves as feminist. They know what the need. Yeah they smoke too much for my taste, but they’re really great. No pretentiousness and with depth. The average American woman can’t hold a candle to them. I’m leaving because it’s clear that mandates are coming. I’ve met more quality women here in 18 months than the previous 18 years in the USA. I feel like I’m abandoning my new brethren, and I hope like hell they survive what’s coming.
Crowds at Raymond James Stadium (St Pete, FL) have abandoned the “lets go Brandon” routine and are LOUDLY chanting “F#ck Joe Biden”.
TV network trying desperately to keep it off the air. Apparently the networks think they can make money with no audience? Are advertisers really that dumb?
NFL has been bowing to the “mighty” Chinese. Soon the dumb jocks will be forced to bow to US citizenry, or lose the TV rights that make NFL possible. Take a knee and get a pink slip you losers
F#ck Joe Biden and F#ck Tony Fauci too
Tom, this has been a wonderful read and it is doubly so thanks to your comparison to Fury Road which I saw about 6 times. I’m 62 years old and have seen my fair share of “empowered women” and being a self-conscious nerd for most of it, I felt I was doing something wrong in my attempts to get to know those I’ve crossed paths with, a little better. Brain dead turned into feminism (lower case) and then into empowering and finally into this. Musk is definitely right when he says, we need way more people on this planet as families and kids are becoming less plentiful. The bastard ruling elites want this but maybe we can turn the tide for humanity but only if the female side of the equation can get THEIR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER!!
TOM, This is my answer to our dystopian future envisaged by WEF et al. GO LOCAL!

You draw the line in strange places
Pretty damned good, Tom. Eloquent even. And harsh, which is very good…very needed. I’m tempted to subscribe now….
You want this… {dangles newsletter like a lightsaber| … don’t you. :)
look C-3PO star wars droid walking, does it remind you of someone very famous ??
Oh please, Luongo. You’re talking like the Mystic of Spirit Right. You are making a dishonest and false argument, and propping up a straw-man, and it will not help you.
First, you are mischaracterizing MGTOW as hateful. It isn’t, any more than John Galt’s “strike” was hateful. It is getting out of the way and refusing to be a sacrifice. The feminists have colonized the governance structure of mainstream societies, and they want to sacrifice men. They want to be parasites. The Luongo solution? Well, “be a man” and get right up there on that altar and let them sacrifice you, until they learn the error of their ways. Utter nonsense. You want to portray that as “weak”? Is that why you have to slyly insinuate (where others are more openly honest in their dishonest assertions) that MGTOWs are all “Incels?” Weak tea, Tom. Straw man. Being human, plenty of MGTOWs hate. That’s common to the entire human condition. That’s not surprising. That said, mischaracterizing ALL men who refuse to be the victims of a stacked system as Incels and weak, and “haters of women” is not only nonsense, it is weak nonsense. Here is the core fallacy of your argument, right here in what you wrote: “those same women who say the most hateful things about men, are really pleading for us to step up and be protectors, like Max becomes to Furiosa and the other women.” Utter nonsense. You cannot save people from themselves, despite themselves and without their consent. Feminist belligerence is really a plea for “strong male help?” They say no, but they really mean yes? Is that your argument? STOP. My ribs hurt. Mystics always are trying to sell people on the idea that “No really means yes.” Stop it. Men do not owe women sacrifice. As Rand pointed out, it is immoral to sacrifice the good for the immoral, but you fall prey to that mysticism, don’t you? It’s right here in this mystical nonsense unsupported argument you made in your writing:
================================================
But Max still has sins that he can’t wash away. He will forever be the gargoyle that guards the gates of the cathedral. It’s not because men aren’t welcome there. Furiosa knows now what good men look like. The balance between men and women can begin again but not with Max.
He knows what he is and knows salvation isn’t for men like him.
This is why he can’t ascend to the Promised Land at the end of the film, just like each previous film in the series.
=================================================
There it is, the unsupported air-mysticism. You don’t give any reasons here, but here is where they are REQUIRED, Tom. Your argument for men to sacrifice themselves to injustice is rooted in this nonsense mysticism. Max has done everything right, but somehow HE doesn’t “deserve to enter the promised land?” Your absence of supporting reasons for Max’s exile are glaring and damning, for those with eyes to see. Most people though, will just nod their heads, just so, while reading what you wrote. That’s just how it is, isn’t it? No amount of heroic sacrifice entitles Max to any reward. Nope. Wouldn’t be right. Wouldn’t be “holy.” You mean: it would not comport with your mystical morality of self-sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice. You offer no reasons for Max’s continued exile and you don’t have any, other than mysticism. Right there, you have condemned yourself. Unrewarded sacrifice (the essence of sacrifice) is the rallying cry of the mystic, the ones who always seem to be left standing after the gore on the altars dries. They are always the moralists demanding loudest that sacrifices be made…of others. As Rand pointed out: when someone speaks of sacrifice, they are speaking of sacrificial victims and collectors of sacrifices, and almost always, the invokers of sacrifice intend to be among the collectors, or else they are preaching nihilism, sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice, and are just too cowardly to immolate themselves alone.
If women REALLY want mean to defend them, they can say so. As Camille Paglia and other anthropologists have pointed out: women are the part of humanity that shapes the culture. If their “no” really means “yes” they can start saying “yes” instead of “no” and put their money where their mouths are. They can demand accountability for their own marriage vows as much as they demand that men be accountable. Even if many women pay lip service to the idea that feminist ideology is wrong about this or that, it is still EIGHTY PERCENT WOMEN who initiate divorce in the FIFTY PERCENT (and probably higher, now) of marriages that end in divorce. For insult to injury, these ladies who protest too much, are also the ones who end up with the spoils of a detonated marriage where it is only the man’s promises which are taken seriously and held to account, and the woman’s promises are strictly sentimental and ornamental. Men do not owe women meaningless sacrifice to the avarice, cupidity, or hypergamy of stupid women. If women are sick of the culture they have made, they can change it. Men didn’t build that. Men are already far too willing to sacrifice themselves needlessly, gratuitously, for women, especially women who do not deserve it and are not worthy, and typically have no idea how to be accountable, much less the fortitude and integrity to actually do so. Going your own way is not synonymous with weakness or with “hating women” and for you to mischaracterize it as such is weak and dishonest, and mysticism. A man taking charge of himself and his own life and living as best he is able, but who does not see a need to participate in a corrupt, one-sided, parasitical social institution is not necessarily someone who hates women, and the only way they can be logically construed as such is if you mystically believe that women are entitled to the unrewarded sacrifices of men. No sale.
Boy, I thought some of my posts were long winded!!
Seriously. What triggered nonsense. Fucking MGTOWs need to grow up.
Your sneering refutes nothing, and Tom’s name-calling and unsupported crying of “nonsense” is an open confession that he has no argument.
No. you’re just a pathetic MGTOW. Yes, American women are insane. So, sack up and either tame one or look for one where you haven’t before. You’re a man, act like it.
Stop whining you pathetic loser. This isn’t an argument to win, its your life and your community.
You know, you can stop name-calling and projecting. Try it. You know nothing of my life. For all you know, I’m a long-married man with 2.2 children grand-children and a mortgage. Can you make a logical argument? You analyzed that movie, and when I poked a hole in your argument, now you have nothing but name-calling and trying to make a strawman out of me that you can knock down? Nobody is whining; it’s called disagreement. Your characterization says more about you than it does about me. I’m saying you have no grounds for name-calling and disparaging men, simply for acting in their own interests and avoiding a stacked legal and social system that treats them like prey. What is triggering you? You can’t even name a rational objection, unless your argument really is nothing more than a vague mystic appeal to “tradition” or what somebody taught you “real men” do and then taught you to re-live childhood trauma when anyone questions it. What have you really got against men not living as you supposedly do? You’ve had an entire page to make an argument and you are still resorting to name-calling after I pointed out the hole in your position. Are you happy with your own self-sacrificing choices, Tom?
