Aravindan Balakrishnan was a Maoist cult leader who used psychological torture and sexual violence to keep a small group of women under his control for decades in a hellish “commune” in South London.
Earlier this month, he was convicted of multiple counts of rape and assorted other crimes — only a tiny fraction of the violence and abuse he presumably inflicted upon his female followers/captives since the late 1970s.
Over in the Red Pill subreddit, the regulars are looking at his sordid history of abuse for tips on how to become more like this “dark triad” master who had “a harem of 10 women … worshipping him as a god.”
It’s a central tenet of Red Pill thought that women swoon and “tingle’ when faced with men displaying so-called “dark triad” traits — that is, narcissism, Machiavellianism and psychopathy. Red Pillers who aren’t already “dark triad” men to begin with often try to emulate these not-so-nice guys.
Now they’re looking, at least semi-seriously, to the abusive monster known as Comrade Bala for dating tips.
As the Red Piller Redditor no_face sees it, Comrade Bala’s story makes clear that “dark triad” traits matter a lot more than looks — and even lifting — when it comes to the ladies.
Take a look at him. He is a short, bald, bespectacled 75 year old Indian guy. I’m not a physical fitness expert, but I’m wagering money that this dude does not lift. After you read this, you have lost the right to complain about your looks. He doesn’t even have a lot of money either.
How did he manage this? Oh, did he tap into that Indian mystical mumbo-jumbo? No! This guy gets laid by preaching … gasp …. communism! At redpill, we know that the validity of the actual stuff he preached does not matter in the slightest. Its all about his intense dark triad characteristics.
And these he apparently had in spades. No_face, evidently an aspiring Dark Traid-er himself, quotes extensively, and sort-of, kind-of approvingly, from a Daily Telegraph article detailing Bala’s abuses. [You may wish to stop reading at this point; it only gets worse from here.]
Even the detailed and explicit description of Bala’s sexual abuse of his “followers” doesn’t seem to phase him. No_Face suggests that the rapes Bala has now been convicted of were probably just instances of “rough sex.”
And after quoting a passage in the Telegraph article noting that the victims of Bala’s sexual assaults “were ordered to swallow when he ejaculated as it was the ‘the elixir of life,'”no_face suggested that they probably wanted it.
I’m guessing the saying “woman gladly swallows for an alpha” has some bearing here. Think about this while you guys are emptying elixir into old socks.
So edgy, these Red Pillers.
No_face sums up the “Lessons Learned’ from Bala’s disgusting story:
Raw [Dark Triad] charisma can overcome almost any physical limitation.
Eventually your plates will crash, some even after 47 years.
You can literally be a god to women.
Your women can and will turn against you, even if you were their fucking god for most of their lifetime.
Apparently it’s news to Red Pillers that even the most demoralized and beaten-down abuse victims may come to see their abusers as something less than a godlike figures.
Some of the Red Pill regulars responded to the story with jokes.
“Hey fellas, I’m just saying – a little alcohol and dancing close to rhythmic music also works,” wrote one.
Of course, most of the jokes still managed to suggest a certain admiration for Comrade Bala’s “achievements.”
“Is it safe to say that Balla was a balla?” asked one. “Filthy dirty old man, I like him ☺” wrote another.
But others saw Bala’s story as just more evidence that men need to become ever more ruthless towards women. Eugenics2015 declared:
This is what i’ve been saying forever, men have the power to control womens minds if you do it right.
As troghin2 saw it,
That dude either is insane or a genius at human interaction.
For a few, the story was proof that Asian men, allegedly despised by all the hot babes of the world, can only succeed with women by becoming abusive assholes. As imsfncy2 wrote,
This article teaches that an indian guy must be dark triad to make up for his ethnic disadvantage unlike other white guys that can just rely on social status and beta game.
The game IS rigged for everyone, especially for asian guys, so only the dark triad guy of any race thrives.
At this point, the Red Pill subreddit is basically a school for abusers, with occasional jokes.
Funny, that’s exactly what I’d advise to anyone who thinks about buying the PUA books/lessons. It’s certainly a better way to use their money.
Absolutely disgusting attitude and response to the case, although it doesn’t surprise me at all. I saw this report on the news earlier this week (in the UK).
In a way, the MRA crowd are doing us all a favour. Showing the world what complete scum they are with no help from anybody else. The fact that people can view a situation like this as a chance to make “jokes,” use the criminal as an example and a role model, and even go as far as to praise him and say
really says something about the people festering on these “men’s rights” and “red pill” websites.
Do they genuinely believe they are doing everyone a favour by existing? Or are they just bitter and lonely? Probably both, thinking about it.
Ugh.
comments are missing, no button to go back to earlier comments. adding a 51st comment to hopefully get them/it back so that I can read the previous 50.
edit: yup, that worked.
Pandapool, is that you? Are you the force?
I just, I can’t even, this is just so sick minded. How does someone even GET to a point where he can admire a twisted fuck like Bala? And how do they hide those views enough to successfully manage their daily lives? Surely some of them must maintain jobs and go out in public and interact with women in ways that will not get them arrested.
Aaaand that’s why the rest of the world thinks you’re fuckin’ idiots. Your inability to analyze for shit means you’re doomed to be Forever Alone.
Well, that and your tendency to idolize the worst in people.

Actually, there were some wires cross and that’s why Bala’s lawn sometimes ended up on fire and why he was constantly stepping into sinkholes.
The Red Pillers:
1. I have a penis and thus deserve power.
2. Unfortunately, I am a loser and have no power.
3. Lightbulb!
4. I will get women to fear me by talking shit. Now, that’s power!
Of course, this kind of power gets them nothing valuable: not positive life experience, not a job, not a relationship, not a home. Nothing. So they have to return again and again to conversations with fellow losers.
And sometimes one of them — a hitherto unrecognized deity among them! — rises up. Homicide and suicide ensue. He is eulogized and his fate (if the words of these losers can be believed) is aspired to.
@Pandapool
You’re a sly one. I’ll bet you’re responsible for his Never-Ending Bad Hair Day, too, aren’t you?
Well done!
ZOINKS!
I almost don’t want to believe these guys are for real.
But, at 57, I’ve seen too much, and know truth is often – if not always – stranger than fiction.
Ick!
Just… ick…
When I saw the “Jackie” reference, I thought of the Jacques Brel song.
Regarding the OP, this is even worse than I would have expected. They read about that evil man, and not only do they imagine him as a role model, but believe (or claim to believe) that non-horrible people would agree with them. Perhaps they do not interact with anyone like that?
Oh, I’m sure they do that already.
And I’m also sure they’re weeping and cursing as they do so.

I try my best but phenomenal cosmic powers have their limits. It wasn’t enough to stop him from abusing people for so long but, you know, at least he looks like shit.
Maybe it’s this Jackie?

He looks like Immortan Joe
@Pandapool
I have a longish list of people I’d like you to annoy.
I wouldn’t ordinarily ask, but it is Christmas, the traditional season of giving.
I understand there’s a line ahead of me. No problem. I’ll just enjoy the sense of anticipation.
Or it could be Jackie Chan. I bet he could unleash all kinds of natural disasters if he wanted to…
Kat:
Unfortunately, they don’t stop at talking shit.
These guys openly discuss how they abuse their wives, girlfriends, and random women who have the misfortune to get closer to them, and high-five each other for it. The abuse they perpetrate and brag about ranges from manipulation and “soft dread” to open violence, sexual and physical. Of course they don’t see anything wrong with it — to the contrary: it is a sign of their strong “frame” and other toxic nonsense.
TRP is a cult of abusive degenerates, so it is no surprise that they go gaga over uber-creeps like “Bala,” seeing them as “natural alphas” who put their sick ideas into practice without much effort.
I encourage y’all to read this article about “Bala’s” daughter, who was one of his victims:
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-34835374
By all accounts, she is a remarkable young woman (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt comes to mind):
@Kat
No worries, I got ’em, everyone on your list. You’ll see in the next 60-80 years. I mean, who do you think made that eagle that attacked Donald Trump sentient enough to understand basic politics?

Oh good, you can influence animals too! Can I request one (1) slightly less upset cat? Don’t need them best buddies, but getting our resident cat to not try to kill me 15+ min after seeing our newcomer through a baby gate, well, that’d be nice.
@Argenti Aertheri
Yeah, no, sorry, cats are out of my jurisdiction. Out of everyone’s jurisdiction, I’m afraid. Not even Bast has a handle on them. They’re their own creatures.
Maybe try finding a blanket or something your new cat sleeps on and place it where your other cat(s) hang out so they get used to their smell. Maybe have them separated and give them some treats while they’re in sight of one another so they associate the other cat with something good? It may take a while but hopefully they’ll come around soon.
@newbie
That’s probably due to his Hindu background (as a Maoist he was probably an atheist but his name suggests a Hindu lineage)
@Pandapool
Thanks!
The next 80 years are gonna be great.
You’re the best!
Long time reader, first time commenter. Just sent a donation. It wasn’t much, but it’s the best I can do right now. Hate reading the things on your blog helped me identify abusive patterns in a previous relationship, and I am glad to say that I am now free and living my life on the outside. Just wanted to make a comment on this post specifically in case anyone who can relate to me three years ago is skimming through because they stumbled onto your blog somehow, and to remind you that even when the shitty folk of the internet get you down, you have saved at least one life. You’re doing good work. Thank you.
