The natural interest of any man is to secure power, status, and resources.

There is an elite class of people that is obsessed with creating exclusive access to those things.

And collectivism is the only way to subsume man's natural freedoms to the raw will to power.

It is ethics that moderates man's individual, natural pull towards uncompromised power.

And it is family, specifically the patriarchal orientation, that maintains an effective bulwark against unchecked tyranny by creating generational, supra-cultural loyalties.

2/

Collectivism is a specific type of violence against the free man and woman.

It demands unquestioned obeisance to the madness of the crowd.

That is why the collectivist's first impulse is to win by imposition, not by persuasion.

To silence, not debate.

3/

This elite class is in all likelihood not some shadowy cabal.

They're just people.

What there is, however, is a global Machine through which these already-powerful people accrue further resources to secure their position.

And they cooperate, explicitly and implicitly.

4/

The Machine reinforces itself through central banks and supra-national corporations, weaponized psychology, cultural division, technology, and geopolitical stagecraft.

It is a natural aligment of allied interests/resources cooperating to the same individual ends.

5/

This is why feminism is not the enemy. It is a tool of self-radicalization that, once picked up, becomes just one of several weapons the Machine aims at the traditional defenses against tyranny:

Sovereign men
Stable families
Supernatural belief

6/

It is not the pathetic, shriveled souls that embrace nihilistic pursuits who are a threat to the Machine.

In fact, it benefits the Machine to create as many excuses as possible for the nihilists to indulge their inner animal.

They depend on the comforts of the Machine.

7/

The enemy of the Machine is the common man and woman who just wants to secure some comfort, do some good in the world, raise a family, and maybe go to heaven or paradise or Elysium or whatever they believe.

They want to be free.

So the Machine must create tools of control.

8/

Culturally, it's reinforcing a paradigm where any standards of normative behavior are "violence".

Sovereignty has been weaponized against itself by undermining moral, ethical, and legal restraints against the baser parts of our nature.

When all are animals, no one is.

9/

Animals do not care about the big picture.

They only care about the hand that feeds, and amusing themselves when they're not needing to be physcially sated.

The key with "human animals" is to trick us into rationalizing to ourselves why it is good to be an animal.

10/

Once that cultural paradigm is set, it must be reinforced politically.

As a great man once said, "Politics is downstream of culture."

The State, another tool of the Machine, exists to create a self-licking ice cream cone of laws and taxes that keep citizens restrained.

11/

Historically, it is individual men working together who have pushed back against the Machine.

They fought for self, family, tribe, and god.

"Toxic masculinity" is a manifestation of the Machine's need to reframe these civilizational imperatives as abnormal.

12/

The goal, then, is to neutralize that one standing threat to a permanent dual-class framework:

A tiny group of hyper-powerful and wealthy people, and a defanged body politic.

This is why collectivism is so appealing to tyrants.

13/

A thriving citizenry is built on economic cooperation, stability, transparency, strength to withstand hostile outsiders, and fortitude to withstand the enemies inside the gates.

Collectivism undermines all of those things.

We must become cogs in the Machine.

14/

All hope isn't lost.

Yet there is indeed a war for our civilizational soul being waged by a powerful few who have the means to achieve their ends.

But to achieve those ends, the Machine depends on the marginalization and indifference of good men.
