Here’s a little screed, originally from happierabroad.com, that’s been making the rounds of the manosphere lately. The author, anonymous, describes himself as “an Arab, who has lived and travelled all over the world and is a keen observer of society and people.” The aim of his writing? To let those of us in the West know just how disappointed he is with all of us. Especially the wussies and bitches.
Meeting Westerners, one of the things I noticed was how insecure and de-masculinized they seemed to me; compared to myself and the male-dominated, testosterone-driven culture of my land.
Using my own keen sense of observation, I have noticed just an eensy weensy bit of misogyny in his writings. You may notice it as well.
On the internet, most Americans seemed to act like little bitches, little girls brought up in a Feminist perversion of nature.
Well, I don’t know about that whole “perversion of nature” thing, but I have to say the first half of that sentence is pretty spot-on.
It was only after coming to the U.S. and studying here that all the pieces came together – a fascinating look at a dysfunctional man-hating civilization that is the polar opposite of my own culture, and will eventually lead to the collapse of Western civilization.
Uh oh.
Where I come from, men walk proud and rule the streets and testosterone runs in the air; and strong patriarchal foundations of family and the father as ruler of the household. Men harass and aggressively follow women – it is unapologetically a man’s world.
That’s what makes a civilization great: the harassment of women.
Just remember this, men, when you lean out of your car window to yell “Nice ass………WHORE!!!!!!!!!” at passing joggers of the female persuasion, you’re doing your bit to uphold our most noble traditions and help to fend off the forces of darkness.
In the U.S., Feminism has so corrupted the society to it’s core, damaged the very concept of family and the family unit and the father’s role, that society as a whole is like some bizarre alien planet – where men are bland, lack personality, are anti-social, gossipy, soul-less. Men are weak and insecure deep inside … women have all the power and American men seem clueless as to how bizarre the male-female dynamic has become.
In the workplace, Americans are Automatons, like soul-less hamsters on a wheel. Fake conversations, no intellectualism, no interest in other countries, peoples, or history.
Do soul-less hamsters act differently than soulful ones? How can you tell the difference? Do the ones without souls poop more?
Also, terrible social and people skills – at least in California. Most people communicate via twitter and Facebook, even though most of the people on their Facebook live in the same city and a phone call away.
Really? You’re complaining about Facebook? Sorry, that’s just lazy and trite. You’re like the Dane Cook of reactionary misogynist cultural critics.
People are vacuous, shallow, superficial, suggestible. Men raised here are fake, insecure, lack personality, they seem to have “issues.” Women are confused and messed up ..
Wait, what’s that? Is that the dreaded MRA two-period punctuation mark? NOT AGAIN!
Oops. He’s still talking:
You let your women take control, and your society will unravel- it will make your men weak, and destroy your society to it’s core. The patriarchy is a male conceived and enforced institution that was imposed on females, because men, and only men understand well the long-term impacts of civilization and harnessing male energies into productive family units and a stable society …. civilization itself is a result of patriarchy.
You know, if you’re really into harnessing your male energies, you can buy the necessary equipment right here!
To sum if up, it seems to be that the whole country is phitzoprhenic [sic], like a Jekyll and Hyde monstrosity. There is no community, no camaredie, no soul, men and women are willing servants to their corporate masters and slaves to materialism and superficiality; and incredibly conformist, reserved, and politically correct to the point of totalitinarism.
“Conformist?” So now he’s turned into a high school goth?
Come on, dude, if you want to be a social critic, you’re going to need to work a little harder than that. Take a tip or two from this, er, duck:
“The only way to support the free marketplace of ideas is to support the free marketplace of all ideas– even ones that are wrong to the point of being evil.”
I don’t support the free marketplace of ideas if it means supporting the free market of evil ideas. I am not an “idea relativist”.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without trolls. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce trolls. Trolls is self-defeating, so don’t expect a civilization with trolls in to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
I don’t support the free marketplace of ideas if it means supporting the free market of evil ideas.
What do you believe should be done by about “evil ideas”? What ideas are evil? o_O How do we recognize who are thinking evil ideas, and what should be done w/ them? 😀 Am I thinking evil ideas? 😀 What evil ideas am I thinking? 😀
“And honestly, what are you planning to do?”
Nothing. I have no power.
But it would be a positive thing if a “cultural sensitivity” course with classes on “Womens Rights in Your New Home” or “Feminism and You”
were taught to all new immigrants.
That’s a “marketplace of ideas” that I could support.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without Great Generals. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) Civilization could produce Great General. Great Generals are self-defeating, so don’t expect Civilization with Great Generals to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without baseball. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce baseball. Baseball is self-defeating, so don’t expect a civilization with baseball in to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Baseball became powerful and prosperous without OPS (On Base Plus Slugging). Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) sport could produce OPS. OPS is self-defeating, so don’t expect baseball with OPS in to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Civilization became boring and dull without Ami. Only a boring (bland and far-too-serious) civilization could produce Ami. Ami is self-propagating, so don’t expect a civilization with Ami to stay non-cute and not-super-awesome for long! 😀
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without Jason Alexander. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce Jason Alexander. Jason Alexander is self-defeating, so don’t expect a civilization with Jason Alexander in to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
@Marc, are you joking? The Australian government wants to reduce the camel population because they are feral. Camels are not native to Australia, and their presence is damaging to native habitats. It’s nothing to do with global warming.
He’ll be sticking up for the feral pigs, next 😉
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without pez. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce pez. Pez is self-defeating, so don’t expect a civilization with pez in to stay powerful and prosperous for long.
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without self-important nerds thinking they’re witty by repeating the same tired joke 50 times. Only an advanced (powerful and prosperous) civilization could produce self-important nerds thinking they’re witty by repeating the same tired joke 50 times. Self-important nerds are self-defeating, so don’t expect a civilization with self-important nerds in it to stay powerful and prosperous for long. Amidoinitrite?
Ion: You were the one objecting to me calling you a douchebag, dude
Ion got into power and started reeducating people about the importance of traditional gender roles.
Yeah, good to see you’re not making this personal. Honestly, are you people congenitally unable to keep insults and personal attacks away from your arguments? Do you talk to people in real life this way as well, or are you only brave when hiding behind a keyboard?
A while back there was this guy featured on Lamebook who lived in the Middle East somewhere, loved kittens, hated slutty whorebags, and had a serious steroid problem. I would be pretty unsurprised if this was that guy. Which isn’t to say there’s just ONE misogynistic douchebag living in that entire region, but just … I dunno … it feels right.
Anyone know what I’m talking about?
Anyway, regarding civilization, generally the better the situation is for women in a country, the better a country fares economically. This was something I learned in some crappy economics class I had to take for no good reason (but see, I actually learned something). Basically, when women can control their fertility and have educational and job opportunities, quality and quantity of life goes up, women have educational options they didn’t have before, families can earn better incomes, people demand better goods and services, etc. etc. Giving women opportunities works out better for everyone.
Collapse of civilization? More like … the Rogaine on the scalp of civilization.
But I don’t expect folks who think oppressing women = women have all the power in society to get this.
Collapse of civilization? More like … the Rogaine on the scalp of civilization.
If we’re talking about feminists, it’s more like Rogaine on the legs of civilization. Ha!
Civilization became powerful and prosperous without self-important nerds thinking they’re witty by repeating the same tired joke 50 times.
“Nerds”? You’re right down here post-post-posting on the Internet with the rest of us, man.
Well, we’ve gotten to the crux of the problem now. Civilization simply cannot go on unless I shave my legs.
“Nerds”? You’re right down here post-post-posting on the Internet with the rest of us, man.
“You’re here too!” does not equal “we’re not nerds”. Just saying.
Careful folks, Ion’s gonna go all internet tough guy on us.
“Nerds”, come on man, most of us probably heard worse in high school. To our faces, I might add, and not from someone hiding behind a keyboard.
Your bitterness and anger are palpable through the screen, Merty. Do you have to clean spittle off your monitor after every post?
I’m not really sure which is funnier, the idea that you might actually believe that or the idea that you think you’ve got one up on me with the “Ooooh, I make you angry!” gag. But if you’re angling for being a sillier fucker than NWO, you’re going to have to seriously ramp up the crazy in addition to claiming you’ve got us all beat.
That’s funny, Ion. Didn’t you recently get so angry, palpably angry, with MertvayaRuka the other day that you lobbed an incredibly personal insult that got you banned from the forum?
Curious: you like masculine men and feminine women, right? So what makes a man masculine? What makes a woman feminine? Are you masculine?
The problem with calling a large group of people nerds is, well…
— Do they all have opinions on vi versus emacs? (absolutely emacs)
— And which Doctor was the best? (Tom Baker)
— Han shot first? (you bet your sweet patootie he did)
So yeah, *I’m* a nerd, but everyone here? I have my doubts, is all I’m saying.
Nobinayamu, wasn’t that the time that he decided to reveal his lurid fantasies about me being topped by two women? Lucky me, whole blog full of interesting people and I have to end up with the second squickiest person on it focusing on my sex life.
