The cultural totalitarianism of the postmodern era did the impossible: it changed the very nature of man
In my correspondence regarding the events in Cologne, an editor of a Russian newspaper asked a natural but discouraging question. Perplexed, he asked me: “Where were the German men?”
Indeed, for those of us who grew up in Soviet Russia, it would be inconceivable that some drunk young people could publicly mock and harass girls on New Year’s Eve in the very center of Moscow or Saint Petersburg. If they dared to do this, they wouldn’t survive until the morning; they would become “martyrs” and would have their way with 72 virgins in a completely different realm.
Ethical codes, embedded in us on a genetic level, would demand that we intervene on behalf of the women. Especially in a situation where normal adult men were more numerous than the rapists, and the rapists themselves were not terrorists, cyborgs or aliens, but mere street punks.
As it turned out, in Germany, Sweden, Austria and elsewhere, these codes were fatally violated. A great number of strong healthy men, having heard the girls screaming and crying, and having seen the crimes being committed, didn’t do anything to save the victims. In rare cases, the girls were defended by migrants from Eastern Europe or Third World countries.
But this is only the first question in a long line of simple questions. We could expect that women, having learned about the abuse of girls the next day, would be in a fury, since there is an inherent instinct in every normal woman to rescue a child or to protect a girl from an abuse, rape or harassment. Again, genetic codes didn’t work. We heard women blaming the victims and defending the rapists. We heard Henriette Reker, the mayor of Cologne, who claimed that “there’s always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s length”; Claudia Roth from the Green Party, who accused an “organized mob” on the Internet of “calling for a hunt on non-white people.” We learned about dozens of female journalists who concealed the truth because the rapists were “refugees.” Feminists? We didn’t hear their voices. As we haven’t heard their voices in Sweden, Norway and England, where thousands of girls had long ago been turned into “white meat.”
Instead, all we hear is a subtle mumble, like that of the expert Irmgard Kopetzky, who states that “sexual violence is an issue for people of all ethnic origins.” “Figures show the majority of people carrying out sex attacks in Germany do not come from an immigrant background,” according to her. Andrea den Boer, from the University of Kent, sees the roots of the problem in that “the sex ratio alteration in the young adult population looking also to be abnormal at about 114 boys of that age for every 100 girls.” [sic] Really? In China, Armenia, and Azerbaijan there are also many more boys than girls. Has anyone heard about something similar happening in Beijing, Erevan or Baku? Why, during the revolutions in Romania, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, were there no cases of gang rape of girls during demonstrations, as it happened in Tahrir Square?
The wider Pandora’s box is opened, the more questions arise. What about politicians? Have any of them, left or right, called it the way they saw it? No. “Sexual harassment is not automatically binding to migration and immigration,” Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven said in Davos. Sure! According to a report by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (BRÅ) 20 years before, in 1996, the highest rates of rape convictions were of individuals born in North Africa and Iraq. They were convicted of rape at rates of 17.5 times higher than the native Swedish rate.
We are speaking about a commonplace situation, typical for the patriarchal Muslim world — for Iraqis, Afghans or Somalis — where a non-Muslim woman is nothing more than a sexual object, an easy and natural prey, a whore. Coptic women in Egypt are constantly subjected to harassment just because they are Christians. The civil war in Lebanon took place not least because of the mass rape of Christian women by Palestinians. How much more for European women who are accustomed to their free dress code and not protected by their families.
If “refugees” ever dared to do the same at home — in Algeria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia — with Muslim girls, they would be buried alive. There are strict and oppressive laws of clan vengeance, and no one dares to harass a woman from another clan or tribe without bringing upon himself an inevitable and cruel punishment. European women have no protection from their families or even the state, with the latter taking the side of the perpetrator. That is why they are doomed.
Why are western politicians paralyzed by fear? Why do only leaders from Eastern Europe dare to tell the truth, such as Miloš Zeman and Bohuslav Sobotka, the President and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic; Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico; and the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán? The issue is not about right or left ideology. Zeman, Sobotka and Fico are Socialists. The issue is about a healthy, normal perception of the world based on genuine European values.
Why did it happen that they were the only leaders who could give both a courageous and adequate response to the reality of this situation? These small countries, squeezed between millstones of formerly great empires and having survived Soviet despotism, now know the value of freedom and dignity. They were vaccinated against universalist ideologies. Yet it is curious that the Czech Republic and Slovakia are the only countries that accept genuine refugees facing a terrible fate — Christians and Yazidis from Iraq — but not mature and aggressive young men heading to Europe for an easy life and “white meat.”
What has happened to the world when men, women, politicians, and the elite betray their daughters and children in order to please newcomers with their baser instincts and a cult of male power?
The answer is sad: the culture of postmodernism has managed to do what couldn’t be achieved even by the Communist propaganda machine. It has degraded the instinct of self-preservation, a natural reaction embedded in humans on a genetic level, the ability to feel compassion and protect a victim – a woman, a girl, a child. An abstract ideology has suppressed the mind and senses.
I left the USSR as a hater of Soviet totalitarianism. Now I realize that the cultural totalitarianism of political correctness has turned out to be much more poisonous.
The Soviet regime dictated harsh rules and established censorship. However, people remained normal human beings. They laughed at authorities, composed jokes about Brezhnev, made satirical films in spite of the censorship, and learned to read newspapers between the lines.
Cultural totalitarianism succeeded much more. It affirmed a relentless self-censorship, turned people into sterile zombies, and exterminated basic senses of responsibility and dignity. It changed the very nature of man, and indeed, it was a unique experiment on their own people.
There is a small carnivorous animal in Siberia – a stoat. It hunts rabbits and hares, which are significantly heavier, faster and stronger than the stoat itself. It doesn’t creep, doesn’t sit in ambush and doesn’t catch its prey on the run. It performs a hypnotic dance of death in front of it — with wriggles, acrobatic leaps and somersaults. The stoat dazzles the prey and, gradually approaching it, then grabs its throat. The rabbit dies from shock. Why does the prey allow the stoat to dazzle and kill it without resisting? Biologists are unable to solve the riddle of the stoat’s hypnotic dance.
Western elites have foredoomed their own people by means of somersaults and acrobatic tricks, and doomed them to the same fate of the unfortunate rabbit. The hypnotic dance of death is gaining momentum.

El Cid says
Indeed. What we are witnessing is the emasculation of the European “white” male. The message from birth through school is don’t be aggressive, girls are your equal, and your competition. There is some merit in that, of course.
On the other hand, very little attention to paid to the needs of boys to become men.
Also, there are situations where we actual need the male component of the herd–such as in combat situations. Note that Obama is emasculating the US Military by changing these rules.
It is no wonder that the feminists are confused. The feminists want all men to be emasculated.
Of course the majority of rapes are still perpetrated by the majority groups (e.g. ‘white’ men). So, what to do and what to say? They are not asking for men to be men, are they? Real men compete for the attention of the female by showing they can protect and support them. That is the true nature of man from the Paleolithic times until today. That is the simple truth that is in denial here.

You’re saying that if men can’t believe that women are inferior that they can’t be men?
If so, that “masculinity” was pretty fragile to begin with.
Carolyne says
El Cid–You seem to be implying that “Girls” are not your equal, a rather Islamic statement. The feminist movement to which I subscribed had nothing to do with girls being equal in brute strength, but equal as to intelligence, ability to perform complicated tasks, etc, but certainly not to outfight most males. To use the argument that women deserve being raped because they are women and therefore not equal to a man is exactly the rational used by Muslim males. While I suppose there might be some few women who could fight a male and win, most of us definitely are not as physically strong, due to males receiving great amounts of testosterone which accounts for their superior muscle structure, but not superior brain power, as your statement seems to say.
I believe it is the duty of the stronger of whichever sex to protect the weaker and not stand aside and say the weak deserve to be beaten because I did not like what they said in the past. Ridiculous. . No one of any intellect ever said that as a rule women are physically stronger.
GWS says
Dear Caroline – It sounds like the only thing you’re lacking in order to be truly “equal” to men is enough testosterone. Well, you can get that easily at your local LGBT clinic. You obviously believe you’re intellectually superior to virtually all men so go ahead and complete the job. Buff up. Then dare any man to knock that chip off of your shoulder to prove yourself superior.

Color has nothing to do with it…but teachings of guilt that European and American academia had brainwashed young people, and created politically correct cultural relativists who aer incapable to evaluate reality and know REAL history of the Western civilization.
The traitors of Western civilization, such as Barack Hussein Obama and Angela Merkel are supporters of totalitarian ideologies of Communism and Islam and are hell bent on destroying every decency in the name of those horrendous totalitarian, supremacist and imperialistic ideologies., European and Americans must take those traitors out of power and start deporting all Muslims who do not adhere to Western laws as expressed in the Universal Declaration of Human rights….
kinley says
The lack of men protecting women is the culmination of decades of feminism. These assaults would not have happened during my father’s generation. Chivalry existed before 1980: a gentleman would open doors open for women, address women as “ma’am”, and generally assist and protect the weaker sex. The women’s movement changed this during the1970-80s. I recall holding doors open for women, giving up my seat on the bus, making my presence known during any hint of trouble, and insisting women go first through doors. Before 1970, a woman’s response to a man’s protection was “thank you.” After 1970, the response was a scowl, a dirty look, or a comment such as “sexist pig.” Men became rightfully confused, and mostly stopped protecting women.
Even with this, the supremacist feminists were still not satisfied. They had to emasculate the men. This happened during the 1990-2000s. The rise of “gay”and LGBT is a result. The feminists have finally achieved what they sought and desired for half a century.

October 2015:
A German mayoral candidate was stabbed in the neck in an attack with ‘anti-foreigner motives’. Henriette Reker, who was running for mayor of the city of Cologne as an independent, and one of her female aides were left severely injured in the savage assault.
January 2016:
Asked by a journalist how women could protect themselves, the mayor of Cologne Henriette Reker said: “There’s always the possibility of keeping a certain distance of more than an arm’s length – that is to say to make sure yourself you don’t look to be too close to people who are not known to you, and to whom you don’t have a trusting relationship”.
Kepha says
The feminist movement got what it wanted–a bunch of subservient eunuchs. Unfortunately, as the experience of a few Chinese palace revolutions testifies, eunuchs are wonderfully subservient until there’s a blow-up; and in order to get on the good side of the new folks on top, they’ll gladly strangle today the beauties whose toenails they painted and to whom they fed bonbons yesterday.
Decades ago, a man named Os Guinness wrote a book _The Dust of Death_, in which he spoke of the Striptease of Humanism. By this, he meant the slow stripping away of things long thought human, all in the name of “humanity”. The condition of which Maistrovoy writes is perhaps its latest manifestation.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM says
Just as damaging to Western civilization are the white male ‘mental’ eunuchs often found in the bowels of the military and foreign service organizations; males so physically and intellectually unattractive to white women they are forced to look for wives in third world countries such as China, the Philippines, Thailand, etc.
Many military and Foreign Service inadequate types sign up for work and service abroad in the hope they will find wives in third world countries after rejection at home. They tend to be controlling, mentally rigid and often fundamentalist in their religious beliefs. A sorry segment of society.
Western Canadian says
Gee, another troll from the stormfront wanders through and drops his load of drivel….
Kepha says
OK, Kaboooom. Uncle Kepha owns himself insulted by your post of 2:33 PM.
I was going to write a very sarcastic reply, but I am instead going to guess that you may be a fundamentally reasonable person and ask you to look at another side of the story.
I’m a lot of things you apparently don’t like. I’ve made no bones about being an Evangelical Christian. I also am in a 30-year-plus cross-cultural marriage with a multi-ethnic family that i love. I was also a US Foreign Service Officer.
Sure, I have my gripes about the Foreign Service; but intellectual weakness, mental rigidity, and a foolish romanticism are not among them. What I saw of the American foreign policy community was that it was full of intellectually curious people, serious students of languages and history, and lots of people who were superior learners, including able to correct their own earlier wrong impressions. Rather than being “fundamentalists”, perhaps one of the negatives I saw is that they had absorbed elite America’s soft bigotry towards people who might be seen as such. And, while I’m at it, my definition of “mental eunuch” is a very plastic individual who lacks a set of principles or moral core (overly malleable; hence he can be tossed any which way). Yes, there are such people in governments; but they’re not everyone.
I did not find my Taiwanese wife while working for Uncle Sam. Rather, I was in Taiwan teaching English (also improving my college Chinese) and helping the Christian Reformed Mission with supply preaching and translation editing, among other things. I also got my first taste of tech translation back then. I was in-country long-term, had a social network populated mostly by host country people, and a rather good working knowledge of Mandarin, plus an entering acquaintance with the Hakka and Hoklo dialects. I also suspect that I impressed people as a learner, respectful rather than arrogant about cultural/racial differences, and well-adjusted to the local environment. That may be why I was allowed access to decent, moral, and educated local women in a country that can be pretty sticky about family honor. Not everyone is just dying to have a white American in the family, you know.
And, mea culpa, I respect a few things about Chinese culture. Also, as an outsider in it, it taught me that while there’s racism everywhere, there’s also in all people a love of one’s own that isn’t necessarily “racist” or “xenophobic”. Yes, I think that East and West can and do meet (sorry, Rudyard, even if you were a superb poet)–and perhaps even should.
Why didn’t I pursue another white American? Well, most American women I knew were either a lot older than I (and I wanted children); other men’s wives (I honor the 7th and 10th Commandments); glad to be leaving Taiwan; or nuns (who did not seem to be out to pull a Katerina von Bora for me). Further, I did not live in Taipei.
I’ve also found I am not the only white or black American who’s lived abroad long-term, got along with the host country, and ended up marrying a good woman from it. We are perhaps relatively few; but we do not see ourselves as “traitors” to our own. I’ll also ask you what makes a family from an old, well-defined culture steeped in its own sense of self open its arms to such men?
One of the things that later drew me to the Foreign Service was that I found I could travel, adjust to new environments, and negotiate with foreigners (including initially skeptical in-laws). I felt that these, to say nothing of my knowledge of the Chinese language, might be useful to my country. So, throw patriotism into the mix of things that lead at least a few men into the Foreign Service or military.
No, I did not find my wife in the Foreign Service. I did see others who lost their wives (or husbands) that way; I saw others sexually seduced by one thing or another–although I won’t judge what it was.
I will tell you the average type who picks up a “Thid World” wife (to be honest, I hate the term “Third World”): he’s the guy who thinks he’s a real macho who can drink anyone else under the table and grabs for all the gusto that’s out there. He sees himself as America’s answer to Zorba the Greek. That’s why he goes to Thailand (or the Philippines, or some other “fun” place–never a workaday place like Taiwan) and marries some hooker he meets in a bar (no respectable Thai would ever have anything to do with such a person, much less let him near his daughter; the hooker sees him as a convenient exit from a life she probably hates). The guy is also an incurable romantic who has no common language with the woman other than sex; and believe me, far from being the sort who might be a military or diplomatic officer, he’s usually a less educated sort. Think perhaps someone reasonably successful in a business Stateside, giving him the money to travel. Perhaps a small-scale Trump looking for his own Ivanka?
To get back to military and Foreign Service types, these are people accountable to elected officials. The condition of their employment is that they must do what they are told–men under authority, as the centurion described himself to Jesus Christ. I am sure there are probably a few people in both the Pentagon and State who have been holding their noses and doing a lot of hoping these past eight years.
Further, as an avid reader my whole life and now a history teacher, I have a lot more appreciation for those now-disparaged Dead White European Males than many others (even if I respect a few dead swarthy or sallow guys, too). It’s things that they gave me (they, being dead, yet speak–Hebrews 11:4) that draw me to the anti-Jihad movement. But ya wanna know something? There are non-white people who also appreciate those DWEM, too.
Wellington says
Hell of a response to the Kaboom turkey, Kepha. My compliments.
Pong says
Kepha.
I have to aggree with some of your points, though I think you spoiled it a bit with patronizing “uncle”.
I have a similar experience living in Thailand for 16 years. My experience differs from yours as I came to Thailand with wife and 5 children. We came for a holiday, but I was offered an interesting job and decided to try. With 4 grand parents from 4 different European countries, I was born in one, raised in another, educated and worked in 6 countries and liked to experience of a new place. I found Thai girls very attractive, especially because of their femininity. Thai society is much more divided then western and a marriage to a foreigner is a rear thing in the upper level of it. I’ve also found that many western men were looking for a Thai wife, because they were disappointed in their previous marriage and wanted a woman with less feministic ideas. Although I was happily married, I did entertained the idea of a Thai wife. If I was single, with my position, connections and command of the language, I could’ve got a wife from the upper level, but regected it totally, despite, as I said, finding them very attractive. Their mentality, values, understanding of the world and family issues were too foreign for me, even after years of close communication and friendship. The thought of having Thai in-laws was terrifyingly comical. I knew quite a few mixed couples and, surprisingly, found the women to be a dominating force in such families.
Julian Farmer says
I married a South American because they were real women and ladies. My wife is also my best pal. I chose a foreigner due to the sheer un-reliablity and lack of faithfulness of home grown British “wimmin”….
Materialistic and overbearing. I prefer partnership and mutual respect. There is nothing soft about myself being ex military and I am hardly stiff and inflexible.If I saw a girl being ill treated I would intervene as always.
Daniel Triplett says
Huh?
Let me tell you something Kabooom:
I’ve spent equal parts of my adult life being
1. A USAF Officer/pilot/war vet
and
2. A 757/767/747 airline pilot
Aside from my college roommate with whom I’m still close, all of my best friends in life are military veterans. Most airline pilots are veterans. They’re the finest men I’ve ever known, and you couldn’t be more wrong with your characterization.
Just 2% of applicants to the US Military flight programs are accepted. These men are exceptionally intelligent, charismatic, and talented. They love life, and they love our country. They fight for America, and they’re willing to die for the cause of Freedom.
And it doesn’t get any easier trying to land a $600K/year airline job. My airline hires just 2% from a stack of very highly qualified applicants. The average age of the new-hire pilot in my class was 38. That’s 16 years after college just to knock on the door, for a 98% chance of rejection.
Mental eunuch? To the contrary, these types have sharp brains, and very large balls.
I’ve flown airplanes in every corner of the Earth, and have spent time with lots and lots of women. In doing so, I’ve found some principles to be universally true.
There are two types of women in this World:
1. American – Western European women
and
2. Other women
I’ve had the painful and expensive experience of marrying and divorcing three women from the first category. Of all my friends who also chose from Door #1, only 10% are happy, with most ending in divorce.
The smart guys are the ones who found wives from the second category. Nearly all of them are happy. Just look at Kepha’s story, a “30-year-plus cross-cultural marriage with a multi-ethnic family that i love.” Wow, those are extremely rare words to hear coming from men who’ve married Western women. Usually, these types of fairytale marriages exist only in generations past, pre-feminist movement, when women truly respected their men.
Aside from removing barriers toward women’s career opportunities and advancement, the feminist movement has been enormously destructive for both men and women, and it’s destroyed the modern American family.
I love my young son, and only child, more than anything on Earth. He’s the only thing keeping me stateside. Were it not for him, I’d definitely be hanging out abroad, enjoying life with a woman from Door #2.
So give the Military and Foreign Service Officers a break. We’re just regular guys, trying to do what’s best for America. Just regular Americans, working and serving for you.
Mazo says
It sounds like you are describing a former poster here called Philip Jihadski who had a Filipina mail order bride.
Desperate and ugly non-western men marry Eastern European mail order brides from Ukraine or Russia when they can’t get wives in their own countries.
Nerds from China who couldn’t find any wife back home ended up in Ukraine with Ukrainian brides. In East Asian areas like
China, Taiwan, and South Korea, desperate men get Russian or Ukrainian girlfriends or wives.
Ugly and despereste Turkish men, whom Turkish women would not give the time of the day, turned to marrying Russian brides. There are several thousand Russian women in Turkey married to Turkish loosers who are unmarriageble by Turkish women’s standards.

LMAO. The reason they look for women in third world countries is because those women are THIN, FEMININE, and generally ATTRACTIVE. American women are repulsive, physically and spiritually. Period.

Champ, have I let the male adherents of the playboy philosophy off the hook? Turning women into mere playthings was also a major social sin. I am just old enough to recall how it started out as “free love”, then, when the women saw that the men left them stuck with the babies, it all turned into a Hobbesian war of all against all.
And, yes, we men have been bad at leadership.
vcragain says
The problem here is that females EXPECT to receive respect these days and generally get it, but here are a bunch of males with no scruples and who see all females without the full-sheet covering as INVITING their advances – they probably all spend a great deal of time concentrating on their d**k and it’s missing counterpart – when they actually see an ‘unhidden’ female they go crazy – and we all know that low-education young males in a bunch will behave as complete fools – all “playing to the gallery”, it is male one-upmanship, or should I say upwoman-ship? Makes me feel so completely disgusted with human animals – yuck ! I am on the wrong planet !

You paint feminism with too broad a brush. Yes, everyone is a bit confused, but please be very clear. Historically women have had to reply a male’s protection with sexual favors, and women have turned to the government for protection to avoid the bill that comes due for this protection.
Angemon says
E Ward posted:;
“Historically women have had to reply a male’s protection with sexual favors”
How about men? How did they pay other men to protect them? Last time I checked, historically, armies weren’t paid in sexual favours, either form women or men.
“and women have turned to the government for protection to avoid the bill that comes due for this protection.”
Historically, governments have been composed mainly of men. Did women pay government protection with sexual favours as well? Or are you talking about single mothers recently?

Sexuality has nothing to do with that at all : so only Hulk men are real men , or what ?

Seems some of the civilised people rather have a problem with LGBT people than violent ” masculine ” Muslims 🙁

I think this is indeed one of the points made in this excellent article. I do disagree to some degree. Come carnival next week, I think there will be some pay back. I believe many feminists are coming to their senses as well, or at least, I hope. Many men were injured at the New Years debacle—let’s not forget that. They were strategically caught unaware. I don’t think that will happen again without some holy hell erupting.
gravenimage says
Yes, E. Ward–there *were* European men on NYE who did the right thing–many of them wound up being beaten by the Muslim mobs; some wound up in the hospital.
The men were just part of a couple or at most a small group of friends–even the toughest of them was no match for the Muslims, who were attacking in packs of *dozens*.
Most of all, they were caught unawares–they thought they were out for a night of fireworks and fun, seeing the New Year in–not that that they would find themselves having to protect themselves and the women they were with from ravening Mohammedan rapists.
Welcome to brave new Europe.

“I really dislike the comments that LGBT people are to blame !”
This article says nothing about homosexuals or followers of other against-biology sexual desires/behaviors.
The only comment I can see regarding that is by kinley:
“Even with this, the supremacist feminists were still not satisfied. They had to emasculate the men. This happened during the 1990-2000s. The rise of “gay”and LGBT is a result. The feminists have finally achieved what they sought and desired for half a century.”
And there’s a lot of truth to that.
So your point is… what?
Western Canadian says
SOME native american tribes were accepting of homosexuals, others put them to death. Rather like large parts of the rest of the world.
Allan says
LGBTs played a huge role in the abuse of children in the Catholic Church. In nearly 90 % of cases, the victims of priest abuse were boys. In other words, the priest abuse problem is practically homosexual in nature. Yet, the media doesn’t note that, because it is corrupt. Both the Church and the media have been infiltrated by the homosexuals.
Truth says
Your comments on LGBTs read like something from an Islamist.
I’d be quick to point out that raging homophobia is one of the core tenets of sharia — in that regard, you’re already actively practicing sharia.
Defending western values includes defending the rights of LGBTs, and not making up fantastical conspiracy theories about them — which are the domain of Islamism.
Allan says
You’re confusing an Islamist with a moral person. Your use of the term “homophobia” (similar to “Islamophobia”) shows you’ve bought the lie that opposition to sodomy is based on an irrational fear or bigotry, when it is only used to stifle debate. Sodomy, just like Sharia, has never been a Western value. The truth remains that the priest abuse problem is a predominantly homosexual problem, based on the fact that the vast majority of the victims are adolescent boys. Furthermore, since the victims are mostly adolescent, it is also a problem of ephebophilia. The media wants the public to think it’s heterosexual pedophilia, when in fact it’s homosexual ephebophilia.
Kepha says
A broken clock is right twice a day. I’m with Allan who notes that the fans of sexual inversion and perversion have been allowed to wreck the language as much as they’ve been allowed to wreck society.
Joan says
One of the pillars of the civilized “compassionate” society that is now lost was religion, specifically the Catholic Church. You cannot have strong men, resilient women and hopeful children without the family. Religion defines the family. Native Indians are charming, but I don’t think we all really want to go live in teepees and punish rape by burning at the stake. The triumph of romanticized postmodernism is only enabled by a culture that values individualism (formerly called ‘selfishness’) over a belief in God. Secular, feminist, and anti-paternalistic “open societies” must self-destruct because they never look higher than “the state” hence inevitably leading to totalitarianism.

Second – I think all male Muslims should be isolated in the middle of the Saudi Arabian desert with their goats – away from women and girls.
Muslim males are dirty, grotesque Neanderthals who simply do not know how to behave around women and girls.
Cunamarra says
“Where were the men?” I’ve asked this myself after reading stories about the “grooming” or, better named, rape and child exploitation gangs in Britain. These crimes have gone on for the better part of twenty years and only recently do we see some hand wringing on what to do or could have been done.
If Islam means submission, then I think Europe is already an Islamic territory. The European people have already submitted and have been doing so and teaching their children (what few they have) to do so. The tiny minority of those who regret having done so will have to secretly raise their children to not submit and begin their own resistance movement in the future, because the current generation has demonstrated to the Ummah they have only enough strength in their character to submit.
Aardvark says
“These crimes have gone on for the better part of twenty years”
And are continuing.
The media and the government are doing their best to hide the ongoing mohammedan rape and paedophilia problems by focussing on crimes committed years ago by various public figures: Jimmy Saville, Gary Glitter, various MPs, even Prince Andrew.
But a full and honest report about mohammedans today is still missing from the BBC and the daily newspapers.
Frank Courtney says
Yes, “where were the men” in Rotherham? Rotherham, a tough Yorkshire former coal mining town, where between 1,400 and 1,600 young girls were “groomed” and gang raped by depraved mohammedan savages. If those ex-miners, even if now in their 50s and 60s, cannot defend their girls and women what chance is there for the softie boy-men doing so in Oxford where similar rapes took place?
I think the answer is that those ex-coal miners are dyed in the wool socialist sheep whose loyalty to Cultural Marxism (aka political correctness) outweighs their genetic instinct to protect their womenfolk.
How else to explain the overwhelming Rotherham vote for the left-wing Labour Party in last year’s UK General Election? This even after Labour Party apparatchiks in local and national governments had tried to cover up the rapes. God help us.
Eric X says
The Rotherham vote for Labor was by the immigrant population itself. Those former coal miners are voting UKIP. Election statistics and demographics are nit difficult to find online.
Frank says
Seems to me they’ve submitted to something else, before they submitted to Islam.
What could that be, d’ya suppose?
DannyBoy says
Why do only leaders from Eastern Europe dare to tell the truth?
The short answer: because their countries are not yet Islamized.
Kilfincelt says
The reason that Eastern Europe leaders tell the truth is because they have more recent experience with Muslims courtesy of the Muslim Ottoman Empire. After all, it was the Polish King who was at the head of a Christian army that stopped the Ottomans at the gates of Vienna. They saw what it was to be under the thumb of Muslims and remember it well.
The only way to stop this nonsense is to get the truth out about Islam and put those in power who understand what Islam is all about. We need to make people understand that Islam is not so much a religion as it is a totalitarian ideology.
DannyBoy says
True, Kilfincelt. What I meant though was that Western Europe is already sufficiently Islamized that leaders would suffer electoral disadvantage (and personal risk) from speaking the truth. So they’re unlikely to do it, whatever they may privately think.
Daniel Triplett says
Talk itself won’t work. You can’t reason with the unreasonable. My ex-wife is proof of that.
This will also take overwhelming shock and awe military force concurrent with the reindoctrination. Muslims must be made to feel intellectually and morally inferior to us, and that’s not going to happen without a show of force which convinces them that defeat is unavoidable. They can see and taste victory now, and no lecture we have to offer will convince them to pack up, go home, and apostatize.
Robert Spencer is among Dar al-Harb’s top experts on Islam, whose Islamic knowledge is surpassed only by al-Baghdadi himself perhaps.
If we could solve this by simply “educating” them, shining the light of reason on this unreasonable evil ideology, then every Muslim visiting Jihad Watch would apostatize immediately. How often do you see that? Most all Muslims come on this site to defend Islam and Muslims.
So, if Robert Spencer can’t reason with them, who else among us can? I believe Robert’s greatest success has been not in curtailing Islam (yet), but in educating and altering useful idiots and Counter-jihadists to the Islamic threat which confronts us.
Robert will continue to have a senior role in the Counter-jihad of course, but so will nuclear weapons. The nukes will force Muslims to listen and learn. There’s no other way around it.
We’ve been fighting a conventional war in Afghanistan for 14 years, during which I fought 6, and there’s been nearly zero improvement. Afghanistan is just 1 of 57 Muslim Nations. And we’ve all seen what’s happened in Iraq.

Triplett, I am an ex muslim and there are many more ex muslims just like me. The names of nonie darwish, ayaan hirsi ali, son of hamas, walid shoebat came to mind as examples of those who are braver from our kind. You make it sound like we are not human, as if islam is an incurable condition of our existence and can only be dealt with by force. By dehumanising us, what difference does it make of you and the muslims or the nazis, or any other ideology that dehumanises the threats that they face. Most muslims are but victims of their environment, being brainwashed from young. Yes, islam can be cured by education! But only if there are those who are willing to tell the truth about it! The problem is that not that the west is unwilling to use force, but that the west won’t speak the truth about islam. Have humanity, for humanity is what seperates us from the jihadists.
Boston Tea Party says
“The problem is that not that the west is unwilling to use force, but that the west won’t speak the truth about islam.”
exmuslim, you’re exactly right. This whole conflict is not primarily one of military might, and it’s not even really about Islam, which is pretty much the same as it’s always been. The problem is that the West has been hollowed out, and is now largely composed of neutered cowards and liars.
Daniel Triplett says
@exmuslim
Congratulations on your apostasy. Welcome to the Light.
I never said Apostates are “not human.” For that matter, I didn’t even say Muslims are not human, so cut the crap. I believe Muslims are humans indoctrinated with an evil ideology, but if we could divorce them from that ideology, they’d be no different than the rest of us.
Very few of the 1.6 Billion Muslims in the World self-apostatize, and everyone knows it. Breeding exponentially outpaces any such apostasy anyway.
Islam is a men’s club, so I’m sure there are many women who would prefer apostasy to Islam. But many Muslimas truly buy into it for some reason, and most Muslim men do.
If most of them are victims of their environment, then what’s up with the hijrah? Why don’t they ditch Islam and assimilate, under the safety of our Western governments, instead of rape, murder, and impose Sharia on us? Once here, why don’t Western Muslimas look at our Western women with envy and say, “Screw this shit,” tear off their burkas, and divorce their husbands (owners) under our wife friendly family law?
And why would ANY Western Muslim come onto Jihad Watch, learn thousands of Robert’s essays, books, and lectures, yet still defend Islam?
If you think you can simply “educate” Muslims out of their faith, then you’re doing a really shitty job of it. The World is on fire, and we are losing this War. Dar al-Islam is rapidly expanding before our eyes, and the politicians, including all the 2016 POTUS candidates haven’t the foggiest idea how to solve this. My only hope is that Trump will see it, once he’s sitting at the desk, with the full power of the American Intelligence and Military surrounding him.
I’ve served as a USAF Officer and pilot for many years, including six years in the Afghanistan/Iraq Wars. I’ve watched many Americans die, and am fortunate to be alive myself as many times I was targeted. Hell yes military force is required. You’re not going to bullshit me. The jihad is no joke. Jihadists, both swordsmen and supporters alike, are deadly serious about their cause, and have no interest in a lecture or PowerPoint briefing about the foolishness of their faith.
Even after 14 years, $6 Trillion, and the deaths of over 6500 of our finest Americans in combat, we haven’t made a scratch on the problem. In fact, it’s much worse now than before we began fighting back after 9/11. Nuclear weapons are required to eliminate Islam. Everyone must face it; the sooner, the better.
I’ve had the military education. I and hundreds of thousands of my brothers have tried to arrest the Islamic threat conventionally without nukes, and it’s not working. I’ve seen it first hand myself for many years, and have spent over two decades thinking about this. There’s only one way out of it, as described in the essay I linked.
You said the problem is that Western leaders don’t tell the truth about Islam. Well what exactly do you expect? Bush, Blair, Obama, Cameron, Merkel et al, have been trying to tell the whole World that Islam is peaceful, and there’s nothing violent about it. Obviously that’s not working.
So, let’s suppose those leaders actually do broadcast to the World what’s really in the Quran and Sunnah. Muslims grow up already knowing the Quran and Sunnah. So what would they be telling Muslims that they don’t already know? Do you see the problem yet? Doesn’t matter if we sugar-coat Islam with lies, or speak the truth, the Muslims don’t care. They know what Islam is, they’re on a mission, and nothing but overwhelming force is going to stop them.
If you want to talk the World out of Islam like a John Lennon dream, then you need to change the message now, because what you’re doing isn’t working Brother. And considering Iran is weeks away from nukes, we just don’t have the time to fuck around with this any longer.
P0rkCh0ps says
“Total War: Extinguishing Islam from Earth” ….This is just not going to happen. The rich elite want islam to dominate. It’s the best method for controlling the masses. No more healthcare, no more welfare, no more pensions, just a slave underclass who will be assured that if they work hard they will have their place with allah. All the elite have to do is pretend to be muslim much like the ‘royals’ of saudi arabia. They can enjoy their wealth, have sex with slaves, kill those they don’t like. All they have to do is go to friday prayers to show they are devout muslims.
gravenimage says
Daniel, the main purpose of Jihad Watch is not to educate Muslims–it is to educate non-Muslims about the Jihad threat.
If some Muslims come by and learn something–especially if they decide to leave their vicious creed–well and good. But the people Robert Spencer is really trying to reach are good Infidels.
Joan says
And that Polish king and his army were devout Catholics who placed their battle in the righteous care of their God. People do not lay down their lives for ideologies, but faith is a different matter. All the ideas here are only part of solution. Fascist Islam, Fascist socialism, Fascist Sorosism are all funadmentally not religious but political vehicles for CONTROL.

Now THAT is scary.

What an excellent article. Sad, sad, situation. Sick, twisted, pathetic predicament for us all. Our lives were not like this before.

There you have it, folks: Islam in a fur coat.
Yes, men need to protect women. Women also need to protect themselves and other women, learn self defense and demand repeal of laws that disarm us. (The fainting couch is long gone, lads, and one of the things we need to protect ourselves from is Good Christian Men who believe a woman’s worth is half that of a fertilized egg and would force her to bear a rapist’s spawn through nine months of misery and trauma.)
Postmodernism demands we believe that 2+2=5. It aims to strip us of our identity as individuals, the actual Self a human being will fight to defend, and herd us into tribes bearing their approved labels designating our worth or lack of same, making us vulnerable to atavistic, tribal “cultures” across all worlds, “First” to “Third”, where “individual” is an alien, “politically incorrect”, “racist”, “blasphemous” product of “white privilege”, “colonialism”, or “Islamophobia”. As in natural disasters it is often only at the last possible moment that people snap out of their fascination with the stoat’s dance and act in self-preservation. Europe has reached that last viable moment.
We’re next.

@ revereridesagain
“There you have it, folks: Islam in a fur coat.”
Thanks for the video! I’ve heard the name of these creatures, but never had seen one. At least it’s even cute! There’s nothing “cute” about Islam.
“Women also need to protect themselves and other women, learn self defense and demand repeal of laws that disarm us.

And you were doing so well.
Can you show me where the Bible teaches that “a woman’s worth is half that of a fertilized egg”? (Of course you cannot. You’ve never read the Bible. Nor do you care to do so.)
Take your lies, anti-Christian bigotry and support for the murder of infants elsewhere. This is not the place for it.
I hope you are banned for this filth. Who in the blazes do you think you are, coming here spewing this garbage?
Carolyne says
Reverend, glad you are riding again and I agree with much,in fact, most of what you say but I fail to see the need to bring the subject of abortion into this discussion. I am four-square against abortion in most cases, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject at hand so that point is inappropriate in this discussion.
miriamrove says
Had the German Men interfered they would have been frames as Islamophbes and I think that is why they did not. The same thin happend in San Bernandio, CA where the woman did not speak out fearing that she would be labeled. m
Carolyne says
I think you are probably correct as to the reason the Germen men did not interfere. Their government has them so cowed that they fear the truth, ignoring or not being aware that “The truth shall set you free.” not enslave you.
DFD says
Miriamrove & carolyne
You’re both right, and there’s more. The Muslims always operate in superior numbers, that is to say they outnumber the other men.
Also, isn’t just the labelling, the police would certainly protect the Arabs. So, German men have to fight two opponents, the Arabs and the police. How much longer that’ll last is anybody’s guess. Merkel clings to power and certainly doesn’t want to acknowledge that she caused a catastrophe. The police itself suffers by now from very low morale, the head of the police union called Thomas DeMazaire (about equivalent to your secretary of the interior) a man who does “not speak the truth” and “who provides knowingly untrue information”. Yes, that means a liar, in the language of the ‘polite society’.
However, resistance fighters become more and more organized, in January 2016 thirty-seven “refugee” centres were destroyed. Many by fire, others by flooding. Flooding is done by closing all windows and doors, then opening all tabs. Gives the resistance an easy getaway, time and lack of flames, whilst it is as damaging as fire. Most of the buildings had to be demolished afterwards. Other acts of various forms sabotage, to goods as well as processes, are also applied. Plus of course direct attacks. These are dangerous since Merkel’s police is under strict orders to persecute resistance fighters to the utmost. And they are added by the left and the greens.
Incidentally, if you want to know more about the attacks on the west, how these were planned and the objectives, methods and time scales, go to http://tinyurl.com/nje5dqg it’s an interview from 2005, about a book from 2000, The Future of Terrorism: “What al-Qaida Really Wants – By Yassin Musharbash”. The interview puts it all as rather dubious, but everything he has predicted came true, and they are right on schedule. All the dates he gave came true. Scary stuff…

In addition to the cultural and Marxist influences my theory is that various estrogen mimicking chemicals present in plastics and the water supply have been contributing to the demasculation of males throughout the West. Possibly increasing the rate of homosexuality in both sexes, raising the rate of transgender confusion and the radicalization of females.
Just a theory but looking at the effects of the environment on sexual characteristics of fish and other wildlife – how would humans not be affected?
Jeanine says
That is not a theory. Research with water experts, sewage plants, municipalities, and fish and such near urban areas has established that estrogen in the water supply from women’s use of the “birth control” pill is unnaturally high. This has been known for decades so do you wonder why it is allowed to continue, with no regulations or laws to screen out estrogen somehow with other things? Why the “authorities” are not concerned? Why people like Obama are virtually androgenous? Why bottled, filtered and imported waters are drunk by all the high levels of society, served in the white house and congressional dining room, all UN meetings, etc? Wars and bombs will be unnecessary, as well as the money for them, when everyone is finally chemically emasculated and sits at home all day on pornographic virtual reality.

@ Kepha.
Reading your posting reminded me of the Danish movie, ‘Teddy Bear’. Good movie, if you don’t mind subtitles.
———-
This article, hit the naiI on the head. I remember wondering myself, ‘where were the men’? I assumed the situation was that there weren’t many around at the time, or something like that. It wasn’t much, but at least there were some good migrants there to try and stop it.
This made me think about a situation that happened years ago. A friend of mine was in a convenience store late at night, and the only other person there was the clerk, until a man and woman came into the store verbally fighting. The woman was trying to get away from the man, but he kept bothering her. My friend had just made her purchase, but stayed to keep an eye on the sitution, just in case. Finally the man did grab the woman’s hair, and couldn’t get away from him, so my friend tried to intervene while at the same time yelling at the clerk to call 911. What struck my friend was that the clerk just ‘froze’ with that dazed look in his eyes like he wasn’t even there. The clerk (an older Indian male) only snapped out of it, after she yelled at him for the third time to call 911. A couple weeks later, a policewoman called to thank my friend, and stated that not many people are willing to help, and ‘get involved’. I do not understand that. I myself have intervened when seeing guys verbally abuse their women in public, and luckily they were just punks without a weapon.
So, what is going on? Why do some people ‘freeze’, and some people snap ‘right into action’ if need be? That would be an interesting brain study.
I so enjoyed the postings here too. The disagreements and dialogues. Debates between moderate muslims, ex-muslims and all needs to continue. We just don’t have a decent media, or even educational institutional settings that brings good ‘hardcore’ debate to the public interest anymore. Seems, it’s just a lot of shouting, or too short dialogues on TV.
I do not think it wise to do nuclear strikes to wipe out all Islam. Personally, I like to imagine an army of ‘bee assassin drones’ programmed to target every single Jihadi, and Imam that vow war against the West. That would be quite discouraging I would think. : )
Heard on the news tonight that Finland and Sweden, are planning to deport thousands of migrants. Maybe they finally realized the big, OOPS.
Alec Rawls says
Good account of what has happened, and the how is also pretty clear.
Postmodernism is all about the demagogic lie carried to its logical extreme. Postmodernism is premised on the idea that there is no such thing as truth, only power, and that all people can do is craft narratives (none true) to best position themselves to make claims that can advance their hold on power.
This is how they justify their own lying about all things at all times. They claim not just that everyone does it but that no one CAN do anything else, and I think they actually come to believe it. Projection is natural.
People always suspect and accuse others of doing what they themselves do. Postmodernists always fixate on creating the manipulatively useful narrative and they really cannot conceive of anyone doing anything else. They can’t conceive of what is outside the realm of their own experience.
The upshot is that they never even consider, when confronted with a situation, what the truth about it might be. Instead the postmodern mind devotes ALL of its processing power to trying to formulate a narrative that will preserve the present narratives that it has been able to fashion into a basis for power, an organizing principle for bringing together a majority political coalition.
This cognitive style remains the same no matter the external situation. It cannot look to truth for guidance, not just because at an intellectual level it denies that there is any such thing as truth, but because in practice its method does not involve truth. It is just concerned with trying to construct narratives that can achieve and preserve its political power.
Of course they act the same way in personal relationships, but that is outside of the realm of social decision making so set it aside.
The main thrust of the lying (postmodernist) left’s majority- creating narrative has been to buy off one race-sex-age-ethnicity interest group after another by supporting claims that these groups have been and are owed recompense. That payoff has to come from somewhere and the only people who have anything to take are the productive people, resulting in a coalition of looters “taking back” what those bad capitalists (the productive people) have created, which is just what the left has been doing forever.
Islam fits right into that coalition. Muhammad was a highway robber, a caravan robber, who made a religion out of every kind of criminality: stealing (“booty has been made lawful to you”), rape and sex slavery (“who your right hand takes”), mass murder (“it is not for a prophet [and hence a fortiori for anyone else] to take slaves until there has been slaughter”), thou shalt bear false witness (“for war is deception,” and everything in Islam is war), etcetera ad nauseum.
Like postmodernism, Islam is a religion not of makers but of takers, looking for makers to take from. So it is hard for the left to recognize Islam as an enemy. They are fundamentally the same and are just pursuing different totalitarianisms.
That difference in totalitarianisms ought to be obvious enough for the left to grasp that they are all going to be murdered but their cognitive style of never looking to truth for guidance blinds them to the danger and compels them to look away from it even as they ARE being raped and murdered.
The end game will be slaughter and probably quite a bit of conversion to Islam. Postmodernists are already committed takers. They just do it behind dishonest claims of victimization and for redress. It will be only a small leap for them to set aside the window dressing and just take, as communists have always done when they get enough power.
Europe will be destroyed. It will be all takers no makers, just like the rest of the Islamic world, forcing them to continue to do what Islam commands and look for new territories to sack, until the whole world is sacked and leveled and destroyed.
Rob says
Alec Rawls, Excellent and informative post. Thank You!!
Wellington says
Fine post, Alec Rawls. While reading it I couldn’t help but reflect that so much of what you mentioned is dispositive of the age old rhetorical battle between relativism and absolute truth, probably best evidenced in philosopohy by Socrates’ verbal battles with the Sophists in Plato’s dialogues. I shall allow myself to remain comforted by the fact that Socrates won out in the end, thus elevating absolutes over relativism (postmodernism being only the latest installment of relativistic thinking).
And even if absolutes don’t exist, I think it imperative that we pretend they do. As Voltaire opined, if God doesn’t exist we’ll have to invent Him.
Sybil Sobieski says
Encouraging to see an increase of articles exploring the deeper psychological and biological pathologies of this death cult.
As an independent thinking female and long time “feminist”, I wonder what my fellow feminists are up to-maybe many of them are subconsciously attracted to these savage rapists? We all need to examine our secret desires and motivations, no matter what our conscious attitudes might be.
Women, we need to support and encourage “our” men, whatever anyone’s sexual orientation might be. Hundreds of millions of us need to resist and defend ourselves!
One criticism of this writer – he left out my homeland from his list of cultures resisting islamic invasion – Poland – the Polish people and government are also fighting back, both men and women.
Alec Rawls says
Sybil: Regarding your thought about some sexually I satisfied eastern women possibly having a rosy view about the raping virility of the uncivilized orthodox Muslim men, I wrote a bit the other day about the aging childless Merkel possibly being motivated by such unconscious cravings. It’s a bit involved, but all pretty basic sociobiological analysis. It could actually be the explanation for this mysterious woman’s bizarre behavior. On a post that confirmed her childlessness:
Just googling to see if Merkel is childless because it could provide a very simple sociobiological answer as to why she is eager to fill Germany up with millions of conquering rapists. Males confronted with the threat of other conquering males face an unabiguous biological incentive: repel the invaders or be killed or enslaved by them. Conquering males take all the fertile females for themselves. That conquered males are not allowed to reproduce would have been the norm throughout our evolutionary history.
But for females the biological incentives are highly ambiguous. Young single women will generally reproduce with the winners of whatever battles take place. It may be by rape and a lifetime of sex slavery but biologically the difference is not much. That is why single young women tend to favor appeasement of aggressors. Why risk getting killed by fighting when it’s just a matter of who gets you pregnant? From the point of view of the woman’s genes that is very secondary so long as SOMEBODY gets her pregnant.
For women who already have children, especially male children, the biological incentives change dramatically. Their boys aren’t going to reproduce if the conquerors win. They will be slaughtered or enslaved. So older women who already have children are aligned pretty much with the men in their drive to fight rather than appease invaders.
But what about older women who are childless? As women get older without having children their drive to get impregnated by any man gets stronger and stronger. They become less choosy. They just want to get it done. Maybe their intellects are not on board, but the biological drive is unambiguous. They become more accepting of conquerors, like young single women, but taking it a step further.
Add the extreme disincentives that western societies have created for men to marry and the frustration level of childless hags like Merkel will go through the roof. No European man probably ever would have wanted her no matter how she made herself available. In comparison the idea of bringing in millions of unsocialized young men who will rape anything that moves would seem to her estrogen besotted mind as a great improvement in the German state of affairs.
So I google it and sure enough, childless. That’s your explanation Germany. You elected a barren womb that calculates biologically that if she brings in enough Stone Age vermin then even she might get raped, and that happy possibility paints her perception of the entire enterprise. Isn’t it good to have all these virile young men around, the more unrestrained the better?
For the female body, THAT she gets pregnant is ten times as important as how she gets pregnant. Her genes get passed on either way and that is what guides the evolution of her thinking. Once she has children that changes 180 degrees, but if she never has children it just gets stronger and stronger in the openness-to-being-conquered direction.
Alec Rawls says
Siri changed “sexually unsatisfied Western women” to “I satisfied eastern women” (at the beginning of the above). Sigh. IPhone good and bad.
Paul says
This exactly right
Carolyne says
Having been a single young woman once myself, and knowing many single young women, I find your statement implying they wish to be raped by anyone, even, one supposes a gorilla, to be highly insulting, Please give me statistics about any research in that area or is it just wishful thinking on your part?
Alec Rawls says
It is the OLDER childless women who become less choosy. Younger women, having the biological luxury of being choosy, would rather not be raped. They are just more appeasement minded than men because the negative consequences for them of being conquered are not AS extreme as the negative consequences for the men (death or reproductive death). But to an older childless woman like Merkel who receives no sexual interest from the men of her own people and probably never did, invasion by indiscriminate rapists can look like a good thing.
As for what you find insulting? Sweetheart, how in the world does that matter one whit? Merkel invited a millions-strong army of rapists and murderers into Europe. There is no escaping Islamic conquest now and this woman did it. She delivered the Islamic coup de grace to a whole continent and there is a good chance that her sexual and reproductive frustration with European men is a motivating factor, but we shouldn’t say it because it reflects badly on women?

My mother and aunt both served in the British army as young women in WWII. As Alec Rawls would have it, this is impossible–they would have been lying around passively, as eager to be raped by Nazis as to fall in love with and marry an RAF hero.
Good God.
There are hundreds of Anti-Jihad women here at Jihad Watch, including myself–thousands, when you include those who do not post. Alec Rawls’ assertion that we have no concern about whether we live free or as raped slaves sickens and disgusts me–nothing could be more false.
Try telling brave Anti-Jihad women like Pamela Geller, Brigitte Gabriel, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali this bullsh*t.
Alec Rawls says
“As Alec Rawls would have it, this is impossible” You misunderstand the role that biological tendencies have on human thought. The human mind is not limited to the objects that have guided its evolution. What has evolved in humans, in response to particular problems that needed solving, were open ended faculties of intelligence that can solve far more that the problems that shaped our evolution.
Open ended faculties of intelligence discover that there is such a thing as moral reason (that we should husband and follow all evidence of value) and this leads to discoveries about what there is to value and discoveries about how to pursue value that will guide those who develop their moral capacities to do great and important things, like fight to defeat evil invaders, REGARDLESS OF WHAT OUR BIOLOGICAL TENDENCIES URGE US TO DO.
But the instinctive tendencies are still there, and for childless women the principles of natural selection say that the decision-making tendency will be more appeasement oriented than for men or for women with children.
Thatcher had a great morally rational mind, and of course she is not alone in that, though it does not often reach her level. Many other defensive minded women are mama-bears, as Sarah Palin loudly proclaimed. But it is just a simple fact that the biological calculus for childless women faced with an invader is dramatically different than for men, and that this does affect the tendencies of women on average.

Europeans with backbone left Europe for America and Australia 2 generations ago. What is left in Europe are homosexual half men (see articles about Umea, Sweden, anti-homophobia campaign). Your armaments have been confiscated, you can’t defend your women, you don’t produce children because you have no balls left. The USA and Canada are not coming back to help you survive. Either stand up and fight or you are doomed to be dhimmis. Soon the Muslims will be blowing up the historical sites of European Culture and history, as they did to the Buddhist artifacts in Afghanistan, the ancient structures in Iraq and Syria. They already got the WTC in NYC. What are you going to do about it – organize discussion groups?

To be a man and to be white is to be despised, even by politically correct members of your own race. If white men had come in defense of white women, they would have been arrested for racism and assault. Their ‘victims’ who they prevented from raping white women could sue them in court, successfully. Welcome to the Politically Correct future.

A sad but true point. This is why I have zero tolerance for such “feminists”, especially when/since they seem to love Islam!
J. says
Absolutely spot on. Generations of political correctness, feminism, brow beating of anything remotely masculine, as well as decades of socialism ie ever increasing reliance on the government even for one’s own immediate protection have essentially emasculated much of the male population of Europe.
Look at the number of marches of European men wearing skirts in an effort to support the women and denounce rapists. It’s absurdist.
This is death by tolerance and it is painful to watch. I would like to think that there are enough American men left that we would have gone downtown with baseball bats immediately. But here too, PC culture rules the day.
To the women of Europe I say – get out. New Year’s Eve in Cologne was our generations Kristallnacht and it will only get worse.
Gather your children and run, now. I truly believe that much of Europe will dissolve into civil war before the end of 2016 (although I hope I’m wrong about that).
Save yourself now before it’s too late.

To J:
As I said above to Miriamrove & carolyne…
You’re both right, and there’s more. The Muslims always try to operate in superior numbers, that is to say outnumber the other men.
Also, isn’t just the labelling, the police would certainly protect the Arabs. So, German men have to fight two opponents, the Arabs and the police. How much longer that’ll last is anybody’s guess. Merkel clings to power and certainly doesn’t want to acknowledge that she caused a catastrophe, just like all politicians. The police itself suffers by now from very low morale, the head of the police union called Thomas DeMazaire (about equivalent to your secretary of the interior) a man who does “not speak the truth” and “who provides knowingly untrue information”. Yes, that means a liar, in the language of the ‘polite society’.
However, resistance fighters become more and more organized, in January 2016 thirty-seven “refugee” centres were destroyed. Many by fire, others by flooding. Flooding is done by closing all windows and doors, then opening all tabs. Gives the resistance an easy getaway, time and lack of flames, whilst it is as damaging as fire. Most of the buildings had to be demolished afterwards. Other acts of various forms sabotaging goods, as well as processes, are also applied. Plus of course direct attacks. These are dangerous, since Merkel’s police is under strict orders to persecute resistance fighters to the utmost.
Incidentally, if you want to know more about the attacks on the west, how these were planned and the objectives, methods and time scales, go to http://tinyurl.com/nje5dqg it’s an interview from 2005, about a book from 2000, The Future of Terrorism: “What al-Qaida Really Wants – By Yassin Musharbash”. The interview puts it all as rather dubious (year = 2005), but everything he has predicted came true, and they are right on schedule, Caliphate, everything, right on schedule. All the dates and events he gave came true. Scary stuff…
There’s more, for years the German army trains and spends on insurgency/counter insurgency warfare. To a relatively large extent they even neglect maintenance of heavy equipment. Spending on that type of warfare, including street fighting, is constantly increased. The press and some in government wondered why. See also: ‘Die Afghanistan Connection’. There was an interview which was quite funny, a youngish lefty, smart alec girl and a general, from memory, she: “But it is always minorities who cause the trouble, the majority… bla bla…” Then she beamed into the camera as if: ‘now I got him!’ The general: “I am pleased that you agree with me and our efforts. You are absolutely right, it is always a minority. Just look at Afghanistan. There the Taliban is only a small minority, amongst a very peaceful people.” Took her about 10 or 20 seconds, then she changed tack. It was beautiful, she was completely derailed.
Darracq:
What are you talking about? Ever heard of San Bernadino and other such events? You sound like a triumphant braggart with nothing to brag about. Take a good look at your Muslim, sorry, your president. Instead of talking such bull as “… European have no balls and are waiting to be rescued byt the US and Canada…” read the interview with Yassin Musharbash, as linked above! You are in for precisely the same, and they are right on schedule with everything, planned and predicted by them over 15 years ago. May I suggest we stick together instead of loathing one another? What you wrote is a Taqyians wet dream. Be on our team, not on theirs!

Alexander, a thoroughly perceptive analysis. Let us hear more from you. Our communities, especially in the west of Europe have been indoctrinated by totalitarian postmodern attitudes, that gained a foothold before the cold war finished, and which has stripped away the essential instincts for self defence, as you have so ably described. Somehow, these senses will be restored, I hope, transported back from central and eastern european societies, where plain thinking and judgement and a more intact ideal of community obligations still exists.

WorkingClassPost says
Great piece, which highlights what’s happening inside many people here in the West.
Along with all the other forms of extremism (and there are many), it seems we now have liberal radicalism to deal with.
Mike Crouch says
In the UK one of the problems is the broadcast media. The great majority of people here who want to know what’s going on get all their news from TV and radio, mostly TV. We also have our BBC, the perception amongst the public is that, as the BBC is owned by everybody, it is guaranteed to be impartial, whereas in reality it is bound by the centre left establishment view of the world. This is manifested by a self-censorship which grows through the circle of acquaintances that meet together in pubs and clubs with politicians, lobbyists and other journalists. This then produces a common view of events which is replicated in most newspapers and TV stations.
The result of this is blatant propaganda which masquerades as news. An example of this is the broadcasting, almost every day, of pictures of migrant families and particularly children, together with a narrative something like “poor desperate families fleeing a war zone”. Never are we shown pictures of fit young men pushing their way across borders with their iphones. The impression is given that they are all fleeing war in Syria. This has built up an impression in Britain that they are all victims.
I suspect that the same is happening in the rest of Europe too. As all the migrants are victims they have to be treated more sympathetically than the indigenous people, and therefore allowed to do things that are regarded as unacceptable because of the ‘cultural differences’. So the young German men in the Cologne square could not have intervened. Had they done so they would almost certainly have been arrested for assault or worse. A young Danish girl used an illegal pepper spray to prevent herself being raped and is being prosecuted while the attacker goes free. We are not permitted to defend ourselves in Europe, not even with the public expression of opinion. If we do we can lose our jobs or risk prosecution. We are told to be sensitive to the culture, and unquestioningly trust the politicians to deal with the problem.
But it is changing!

Amen to that brother. May I draw your attention to what I wrote to “J” just a few posts above, I’m sure you’ll find this interesting. Also, since you are English (I am Anglo-German) may I urge you please to sign the anti-Sharia petition below?
Many thanks in advance
Ban: “Sharia Law …. within the UK”: The deadline is March 10th, 2016, So far the petition has just attracted over 24,000 signatures. But 100,000 are required to get it into Parliament, and we have barely a month left. The link to the petition, remember EVERY VOTE COUNTS:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/107864
We’d be the first Western country debating Sharia in the National Assembly. However, if Sharia obtains legal status, then the endless demands of “cultural tolerance” & “being offended” will increase. But then with the force of law – Mohammed’s “law”. Already 83 sharia “courts” have infested the UK.
UK readers: Email your friends, print or just scribble the link on a sheet of paper, when the opportunity arises, in a pub for instance, pass it on. Non-UK: Please urge your friends or relatives in the UK. There are far more than 100,000 people in the UK who want Sharia courts banned. They only need to know this petition exists. So, please copy and spread – and, if at all possible, letters to editors and your MPs.
Lion of Judah's Cub says
DFD: Try contacting Britain First and have them spread the word about the anti-Sharia petition, they appear to have thousands of followers (or more) in the UK through their videos and social media.

Making it easier for a more agressive new population to overcome Europe.
Problem is also that Europe doesn’t know what war is anymore, and that not all human beings are nice. Look at the reaction to the november 2015 Paris terrorist massacre : in a few days, you got people lighting candles, singing Imagine and telling each other that “really, Islam is not the problem”. Terrifyingly amazing.
Also amazing is the lack of reaction from feminists to the Cologne assaults.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON
by Rudyard Kipling
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.
DFD says

gravenimage says
Thanks for posting “The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon”, Paul. Always an excellent piece.
Here’s a related quote:
“Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop.”
UNCLE VLADDI says
“VICTIMOLOGY” EXPLAINED:
Since criminals, by definition, choose to always attack everyone else first, they learn to disguise their alibis as secondary, counter-attacks by blaming their victims with carefully-crafted excuses:
The criminals’ subjective double-standards excuses start off with basic, slanderous “paranoia:”
“PARANOIA:”
“SINCE you COULD be planning to attack me first, so you ARE planning to attack me first, SO I MUST (“pre-emptively, defensively”) attack you first, to prevent it; and all for your own good of course!
This habitual choice of preferring the replacement of the potential dynamics of cause-and-effect real life with a static, idolatrous scenario where the criminal is always the victim, is know as psychopathy (thought-killing). And it’s done to cancel ancilliary pain caused by the fear of it, BY causing the very same, worst-case scenario problems which cause the pain they fear the most.
Our societal masochism is a result of criminals advising everyone to “ACT LIKE A VICTIM!” in order to remain irresponsibly wrong.
This defeatist stance is even enforced by the police and so-called “mental health (illness)” establishment industry – victimology enforcement – and of course also by the indoctrinated excuse-making idolatry of the “SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS:”
i.e: “If we don’t rush in first, then some other fools will beat us to it!”
It’s simple, cowardly, treasonous masochism: (which all liberals are afflicted by) – when they see something they fear, their immediate response is to Submit to it:
“We have to let the violent criminals do what they want to us, or else they’ll do what they want to us anyway!”
In this way, they hope to avoid the fear of pain, by pre-emptively inflicting that pain on themselves (thus cancelling the auxiliary pain caused by the fear)! See?
So masochists will always try to pretend to be able to “control” their fears, BY causing those very same, worst-case scenario problems (like, by inviting in hordes of barbaric savages whom they KNOW want to murder us all, and by slandering those innocent people who don’t want to be murdered as “racists!”) which cause the pains they fear the most.
Bottom line?
“WE’RE ALL HELPLESS VICTIMS, AND IF YOU DARE TO DISAGREE OR DENY IT, WE’LL KILL YOU!”
Exactly “like” islam itself!
AND IT’S ALL DONE DELIBERATELY”
As Christopher Cantwell recently noted:
“Today, left wing influence is threatening our very existence.
Subsidized mass immigration displaces libertarianism’s core demographic with socialists, communists, and theocrats. Public education is dumbing down the populace. The welfare state is destroying the family unit. Political correctness not only threatens “free speech”, it removes entire categories of information from observation in political discourse and scientific inquiry. Feminism and gender confusion is subsidized and promoted, along with birth control and abortion, causing more familial disconnect, declining birthrates, and demographic decline.”
… and:
“Drug use, promiscuity, feminism, homosexuality, racial and cultural diversity are all social negatives which would, and for many centuries were, discouraged by the market. Promoting these behaviors as virtuous is a consequence of liberal economic policies and general societal degradation brought upon us by said policies. We are not freeing ourselves by smoking marijuana and letting other guys fuck our girlfriends, we are in fact responding to the stimuli of our enslavement, and helping to further perpetuate it. When leftists scream “racist” or “sexist” or “homophobe” at their opponents, it doesn’t make a spec of difference whether or not they are explicitly endorsing the State taking action against the people they hurl these epithets at. They are repeating government propaganda, the aim of which is to outlaw the discrimination which has always served as a market deterrent to degenerate behavior and cultural decline.
They want unchecked debauchery, irresponsibility, and reality detachment, because this makes for a more easily ruled civilization. If Bruce Jenner can become a woman, or Rachel Dolezal can become black, then the concept that human beings have a nature is undermined. Popular opinion and government decrees can take the place of obvious truths, and once one is willing to accept that sort of thought process, communism is not far off. After all, if human beings have no nature, then there are no economic laws aside from those set by the State.”
And this is, as Bob Livingstone put it, deliberate:
“By design, America and the West are being destroyed by the political and pundit class on behalf of the globalists. The globalists’ goal is to eliminate borders; and to do this they intend to swarm all nations with people of other races, from other cultures, nationalities and even religions, so that people of civilized and established nations lose their cultural and nationalist identities and become homogenized. The argument can then be made that, since a nation now has no cultural or racial identity, borders are irrelevant.
In a world without borders, people become world citizens. World citizens need world government.”
And it’s not only the government, either: the enemedia and so-called “education system” are also complicit – they serve the same globalist corporazi masters the politicians do.
A great way to control people is to convince them they can’t manage their own affairs.
Even better is to convince them they’re only potentially dangerous (hateful racist bigots) mistakes who shouldn’t even think about trying to defend them selves because by doing so they are guaranteed to always hurt innocent others.
Best of all is to convince them they are not only all helpless victims, but to be proudly competitive in endorsing victim status – which is exactly what today’s feral “Social Justice Warriors” (SJWs) are all about!
Which is both how and why the enemedia endlessly shames us all as potential racists all the time, and insists we import hordes of swarthy savages who we know want to murder and enslave us, to make up for it.
Re: “Democratic governments move in a singular direction, leftward. They have no choice but to do that because popular lies defeat uncomfortable truths in popular elections. Bribing voters, dumbing down the electorate, and importing more stupid people to vote are features of democracy, not malfunctions.”
Yes, exactly – like this guy said long ago:
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy…”

@ Kepha.
Reading your posting reminded me of the Danish movie, ‘Teddy Bear’. Good movie, if you don’t mind subtitles.
———-
This article, hit the naiI on the head. I remember wondering myself, ‘where were the men’? I assumed the situation was that there weren’t many around at the time, or
something like that. It wasn’t much, but at least there were some good migrants there to try and stop it.
This made me think about a situation that happened years ago. A friend of mine was in a convenience store late at night, and the only other person there was the clerk,
until a man and woman came into the store verbally fighting. The woman was trying to get away from the man, but he kept bothering her. My friend had just made her
purchase, but stayed to keep an eye on the sitution, just in case. Finally the man did grab the woman’s hair, and couldn’t get away from him, so my friend tried to intervene
while at the same time yelling at the clerk to call 911. What struck my friend was that the clerk just ‘froze’ with that dazed look in his eyes like he wasn’t even there.
The clerk (an older Indian male) only snapped out of it, after she yelled at him for the third time to call 911. A couple weeks later, a policewoman called to thank my friend,
and stated that not many people are willing to help, and ‘get involved’. I do not understand that. I myself have intervened when seeing guys verbally abuse their women in
public, and luckily they were just punks without a weapon.
So, what is going on? Why do some people ‘freeze’, and some people snap ‘right into action’ if need be? That would be an interesting brain study.
I so enjoyed the postings here too. The disagreements and dialogues. Debates between moderate muslims, ex-muslims and all needs to continue. We just don’t have
a decent media, or even educational institutional settings that brings good ‘hardcore’ debate to the public interest anymore. Seems, it’s just a lot of shouting, or too short
dialogues on TV.
I do not think it wise to do nuclear strikes to wipe out all Islam. Personally, I like to imagine an army of ‘bee assassin drones’ programmed to target every single Jihadi,
and Imam that vow war against the West. That would be quite discouraging I would think. : )
Heard on the news tonight that Finland and Sweden, are planning to deport thousands of migrants. Maybe they finally realized the big, OOPS.
Kepha says
LR–I looked up _Teddy Bear_. I’m afraid I had a much simpler issue: I was a healthy young man with the normal drives, a set of religious scruples, and I was long-term in a foreign country where I had the language, was part of a local social network, and there were also good women who knew my language, too. I married another Christian English teacher, and we’ve used each other as “living dictionaries” as well as for the normal things in a marriage. Also, I don’t share negative feelings about Western women. I dated in college myself. I know a lot of people who married within their own demographic both East and West who are happily married and I’m glad for them.
The story you told about your friend in the convenience store makes me consider how many people are either psychologically unprepared to deal with a violent incident, or, as may have been the case with the Indian clerk, wary of getting involved with the authorities. Becoming part of a large, extended Taiwanese family taught me that there are many in that country who hold their police in contempt, and would rather settle a dispute with the neighbors informally–or let it simmer (and that can get ugly). In a lot of the world, the police are poorly paid public employees caught in a rising society where they are being left behind economically, and so they are easily corrupted. I don’t know India, but maybe the clerk your friend met has a similar view of law enforcement (and he may even have been undocumented).

Hi Kepha.
I wasn’t thinking you were like the guy in the movie, I just liked it, and thought I’d pass it on, since the topic of Western men going to meet Asian women came up.

You know who does think using nuke strikes to wipe out their enemies is wise?
Iran.
I doubt the Israelis are laughing with your levity.
That neither you, nor anyone else, can offer a serious winnable alternative strategy only serves to prove my point. If we don’t use nuclear weapons, we’ll continue losing this war until the Muslims use them first.
Either way, we will use nukes eventually. So we may as well save Israel, Manhattan, and DC, and use them first.
LR says
I’m aware of the situation with Iran. I just question IF that is the only way to keep Iran ‘contained’. I’m not some ‘expert’ in this arena, so of course I’m not going to offer some ‘alternative’, but wonder what ‘experts’ on this area of the world agree, or disagree with your position on the matter.
I figure as a ‘typical’ citizen it’s an understandable kind of thing to question drastic measures, instead of just un-questioningly rah, rahing around any idea, or plan.
Sometimes I just don’t think it’s a terrible thing to joke a little. Times for a lot of people are very dark, and it’s not always a bad thing.
