Dear Friends,
It seems to me, our toxic culture has programmed women and men to fail at life. We know people are failing at life because the birth rate is so low, family formation is low, and drug addiction is so high. Women sabotage themselves constantly and then blame men. Meanwhile, men have become cowards, abdicating their role as husbands and protectors. This isn’t an innate quality of mankind but an artificial imposition by the culture. The cultural serpent convinced girls that adopting a lifestyle that they’re emotionally, mentally and physically not suited for, is true freedom, and God’s critical role for women is slavery. Even as that same culture told men that there are unlimited sexual opportunities, and provided the pill and abortion to prove it… undermining a man’s natural tendency to cling to a wife.
Today most marriages end in divorce where the man is run through a mill. Unless he’s a psychopathic abuser, then the court system will bend over backwards to keep the abuse going. The courts are set up to protect and defend the worst of the worst, while crushing anyone with ethics and morals. The system works perfectly. Boys look at the system the progressive establishment has created, and ask themselves, “What’s in it for me?” Then answer, “Nothing.” So they join Tinder, pornhub, or go full MGTOW. Meanwhile the very few girls who still would like to have a family, life, and future… are shut out because no sane man would get married today. The system has made sure the incentive for family formation is as perverse as possible. The courts float atop this cultural froth… whipping it up.
Culture always has an underlying message. In the 1950’s in the US the message was we can do anything. In the 1980s it was, the future’s so bright we have to wear shades. Today the cultural message is, there’s no hope, climate change will end the planet… so play video games, become nihilistic, and grow fat. It’s obvious if we judge by outcomes. What’s the obesity rate today… compared to past decades? People with purpose are naturally lean. Purposefully busy people burn more than they eat. Those without purpose, however, have nothing to do and so eat more than they burn. Some argue it’s the fault of sugary snacks, but there were plenty of cheap sugary snacks when I was a child. A widespread lack of purpose creates obesity and thus indicates cultural rot.
The entitlement mindset is a product of our culture. Kids have an entitlement mindset. No one wants to earn a position… they believe they are owed it. This is partly because the youth don’t know much, while they think they know it all… because they don’t know enough to understand how little they actually do know. I was the same when I was misspending my youth. This makes up some of a kid’s arrogance… but culture makes up the rest. Our culture teaches kids they deserve a medal even if they lose. The schools tell them they know better than their ignorant parents. Which obviously undermines the parent’s authority and gives the youths a false sense of superiority. During the Cultural Revolution, Mao turned the youth against the adults to great effect… tens of millions died.
In popular television, videos, and podcasts the cultural elite shill the slut life to girls and the gangster life to boys. The culture sells them that, and an easy sell it is. It inculcates hopelessness as it glorifies drugs. These are choices the cultural elite make. Instead of telling kids uplifting Horatio Alger stories they tell absurdist Dr. Seuss instead. Even as, as we lament minimal family formation, a million kids die from overdose a decade, and low birthrates goad nations into importing people. All these negative social outcomes are because of our toxic culture. The genetics are the same as the greatest generation, the difference is upbringing. This means the problem isn’t with men or women, it’s the culture that programs us. To fix the culture, we have the boycott, a voice, and political power… if we use them.
Sincerely,
John Pepin
