It’s no big secret that many doomsday preppers yearn for the apocalypse — if for no other reason than the opportunities it will provide them to say “I told you so” to all those who doubted their paranoid fantasies. And to possibly shoot some of these unprepared scoffers when they come begging for food.
Nowhere is this more obvious than amongst those apocalypse-fantasizers who’ve convinced themselves that it will be feminism, rather than volcanic eruptions or nuclear war or Donald Trump, that will bring about the end of the world.
On the Men Going Their Own way subreddit, the regulars are talking apocalypse, as modern misogynists are wont to do. And it is as revealing as these exercises always are.
A fellow called BagOfBrokenBits dreams of a not-very-distant future in which uppity ladies “will do whatever they are told.”
The future as I see it, is that as society collapses around us (5-15 years?) most women outside of a tightly controlled patriarchal group simply will not survive, because nobody will put up with their sh*t long enough to feed them. When resources are scarce they will not be able to defend what they have and most lack the health, strength and abilities to obtain or build what they need. There will be no feminism, there will be patriarchy. Men will work together as they always have, in challenging and horrific conditions. Women will do whatever they are told because conditions will be too harsh to tolerate dissent.
And Mr. Bag will be one of those doing the telling, because of all the toiletries he is hoarding:
I am a Prepper. I currently have stores of food, toiletries etc for five years with tools, seeds etc to extend that.
He’s apparently filling his doomsday bunker with as many canned goods as he can get his hands on:
It has been noted that in past shortages due to wars an afternoon with a woman can be had for a tin of … anything really.
You know what I mean, you know what I mean? Nudge nudge say no more!
The pros and cons of the apocalypse:
Cons:
- Death of most of the human race
- Contamination of water sources with dead bodies
- No medical care beyond basic first aid
- Return to stone age civilization
Pros:
- Women will have sex with you for a can of beans
AOF_Semiramis suggests moving to New Zealand. And he has some interesting thoughts about Pokemon GO.
Go complete ghost in New Zealand or the likes.Heck even in the US with private as fuck properties.Grow your own food,have stable ways to get water and raise animals a la farm.Fish too if your near a lake.Assuming your far away enough,lake is isolated enough,your too far from idiot humans and any large concentration of them,then nukes won’t land on your spot too since it would be a waste of resources.(Its why the CIA funded Pokemon GO. So the brainless droves would fill the map for them.Obviusly there are still holes.)
Surviving the apocalypse is so easy that even a kid could do it!
Also..a 15 year old discovered an ancient city due to studying the stars in Central America.So you can bet that there are other places in the world where you can live safely.
Make sure to pack popcorn, for all the gloating you’ll be doing.
I know its f*cked up,but nothing you can do to stop it. You can only save yourself at most.So just chill,get some popcorn,and just accept the f*cking up.
timoppenheimer, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to be doing any prepping beyond living as selfishly as he can:
WWIII is coming, and I am horrified too, OP.
My plan is to enjoy my life. They already took my foreskin; fuck society, I’m living my life for me.
Talkytalktalk is evidently a fan of Alex Jones:
This is the great culling of the human population. The eugenics population reduction freaks are going to kill billions and out the rest under the yoke of totalitarianism. It takes a woman to pick the runts and dispose of them.
But which woman? WHICH WOMAN!?
I need to know now so I can mangina my way into her good graces before the culling.
S. Reactionary,
I’m a little bit disappointed in you. You melted down way to fast. You’re starting to be on the level of this Marky Mark chump now.
@SR: scroll back up. I realised I’d responded to what I skimmed you as saying rather than what you said, and oopsed it.
Back to my question, modern day responsibly governing aristocracies – examples? Suggestions for those you’d like to see handed supreme executive power over your own country? A historical monarch you can unequivocally endorse?
“Seriously, why don’t you go your own way already? We have zero problem with men who choose live without women. The problem with MGTOWs is that they spend all of their time talking about women instead of moving on like they say they’re going to.”
A large part of the MGTOW mindset is the enlightenment of others. Our voices will only get louder and stronger with the passage of time. Feminism has major benefits for men – and has been vocal for decades. Do feminists stop talking about the harmful affects of patriarchy for women? Nope. Why should men stop talking? What is this hope that men will stop talking about the benefits of feminism for men? What is this desire for men that have awoken to be silent?
Mark thinks consent has a chilling effect on relationships.
Because if he can’t rape ladies, he isn’t interested and he thinks other men are nasty peices of work like him.
Keep going your own way, Mark. Go way, way, way far away on your own and stay there.
Huh. Mark is suggesting that MGTOW is basically a male-oriented strike against Patriarchy.
You’ve got some good mixed in with your bad there, @Mark.
What process do you use to discern between them? How do you winnow the wheat from the chaff?
Mark,
You aren’t enlightened and you aren’t growing a movement. You’re just a pathetic, whiny man tilting at windmills and making a fool of yourself. You may be a legend in your own mind, but you are a third rate troll who gets laughed at for being clueless and self important in the really real world.
You are here for one reason. You desperately want our attention. You want to impress us or disgust us. You don’t really care as long as you get noticed at last.
*pats Mark’s head*
Ooglyboggles, you have shown us the way. We should be using poetry. Poetry and funny gifs.

I think you’re pissed because MGTOW have become a check and balance on feminism. I think you’re pissed that MGTOW are exposing the hypocrisy and double standards characteristic of feminism.
I think MGTOW and feminists should join forces. In this way, we can defeat TRADCONS and usher in a new beginning for both men and women. We may not agree on everything ideologically, but together we could change the world for the better and keep feminists honest.
Are you with me?
Not posting misogynist screeds on someone else blog comment section isn’t being silent Mark. You were not invited here. You are not owed space here.
You could start your own blog. You could write a book. You could hold meetings and give speeches at your home or in a rented or donated space. No one is stopping you.
Just like you don’t have the right to come stand in my living room and spout off over and over again, but you do have the right to do so in your own living room, you are not entitled to this space and telling you so in no way “silences” you.
Try to grasp basic concepts, Mark. Its tedious as fuck to have to explain this to yet another troll pretending to be persecuted when he’s told we aren’t his captive audience.
@MarkyMark
MGTOW spends its time,
Complaining about women
and wishing they’d die.
When not bound in fights,
with manosphere lookalikes,
They commit suicide
to spite their wives.
That’s what they all say,
as they whine of a baby
holding a trophy.
Even looking at the front page,
Would almost fill me with rage.
If it weren’t for the fact,
The titles lack all tact
When their hate is all on stage.
You speak of the low birth rate,
and here I see,
Comments saying that is great
as they treat other people like a banshee.
If you wish to be helpful
And wished to be liked;
Please try be less dreadful
And don’t lie about words typed.
@Scildfreja Unnýðnes
Why thank you Scildfreja
Honestly it’s quite fun
Your arguments a jolla
In my internet run.
Did Mark scare Sedimentary Rock troll away? Trolls seem to think that if two are in one thread at the same time it will rip a hole in the space time continuum or something.
@WWTH
How do we know they’re not both Mark? He even said he posts under a lot of nyms.
@WWTH
Maybe it’s troll code of honor, one at a time when you don’t have a group to dog-pile others with. Or maybe they don’t want to make this a three way argument or something.
@kupo
As likely as that sounds, I kind of doubt that after his composure broke down. It would take a bit to recollect your thoughts in order to type in a different manosphere dialect I assume.
MarkyMark, sister in the cause of promoting feminism because it benefits women, men, and men no woman should be with ever:
I know you generally come here to preach to the choir about how us talking feminism serves many positive purposes. I know you regard this as a gotcha moment that you just don’t understand we are not dismayed by.
But you keep claiming you do this to reach out to the unconverted. SR is struggling, and believes life would be better if we returned to traditional values. You are belittling those traditional values. Give SR the benefit of your wisdom on the role of the aristocracy, please. Explain to SR that hereditary rule involves reproduction, and that this will probably involve being responsible for offspring, which is bad and wrong.
I think the beta troll just yields the territory to the alpha troll. Anything else would just throw the troll ecology out of balance. It’s trollevo psych.
… Can someone please explain TRADCON to me? This is a new… Acronym? Or is it just ‘traditional con-‘ something in ALL CAPS to make it seem scarier?
Hrm, never mind, I suppose I can just google. It’s Traditional Conservative, for anyone else confused.
@Sedentary Reactionary: I find it interesting that when people ask you genuine questions, you ignore them to get angry at one specific person. What does Handsome Jack’s enjoyment of Grunklestan gifs have to do with your points? Why the immediate threat of physical violence? We’re all on computers here, you know none of us can ‘bop you on the head’.
And now I have to share Lambchop’s Little Bunny Foo Foo.
I’m sure I knew this song before I saw it on the show, but I don’t have clear memories of learning it.
I saw that this post suddenly had 7 pages, and the first post on this one was a Room gif, and I was delighted that MarkyMark was back.
Well – that’s the response I expected. It really doesn’t matter though. Things are working out for the better regardless. Feminism, through its many hypocrisies and double standards is remarkably effective at promoting the MGTOW mindset. I merely suggested an avenue in which we could do it peaceably and amicably. A win-win. The end result will be similar, although self-defeating for feminists. Men will be the ultimate winners in the feminist game.
@MarkyMark
See this is why I responded you in haikus, aabb, limerick and abab formats. Any other way I can say it would end up taking way too much words when everyone else here has clearly pointed out your banal posting patterns much more elegantly than I. You start out with “we’re all friends here guis” when using misinformation about how sexist systems harm everyone. You then try to feign ignorance like you’re genuinely offering a branch when everyone points out that you never seem to GO YOUR OWN WAY.
Then you reveal the colors we already know, of you saying that feminism is a cancer that will bring itself down and ironically bring men up and gamifying the social experience of living.
Hello, because you seem to never ever stick to “good-bye.”

[Edit: Just wanted to add that I am not sexually attracted to Hank Hill.]
@MarkyMark, no for realsies – how do you differentiate true from false?
I mean, heavens, I pretty much agreed for you. I gave you an avenue to actually talk about the things you apparently believe in. To actually talk about commonalities between your ethos and Feminism.
It’s put up or shut up time, MankyMark. Answer, or admit that you’re just making sounds that please you instead of actually expounding on an actual belief. You have no other alternative here.
@kupo
I’m not Mark, I just ate something that I shouldn’t have and have been suffering the consequences for it. He probably whines about kings being ‘alphas’ or some shit, why would I agree with him on anything?
@wwth
That’s not how alpha-beta works; in plenty of species, the hierarchy is subject to change at times, especially if a beta defeats an alpha in a fight.
No.
No one is with you.
There are more than seven billion people in this world. They are bustling, or they are tired; they are feasting, or they are hungry; they are sick and healthy and rich and poor and shouting and whispering and running and flying and mad with emotions and beset by griefs and uplifted by triumphs and as many other things as would take a lifetime to enumerate.
But they are not with you. Not any of them.
And that’s why you’re here, is it not? Because however far along your own way you could possibly go, you need them to be with you. Because whatever knowing or condescending affect you might try on as you copy-and-paste those five-cent screeds that surely sound so brilliant and withering in your head, you need them to be with you. Because no matter how hard you insist, until you are red and then blue and then colors-that-we-have-no-words-for in the face, that your philosophy is one of unbridled independence, you need them to be with you.
Because you are desperately lonely, and you haven’t even the vocabulary you need to recognize the fact.
@Jackie:
Aw, babe~
I love you too. Let’s go poke trolls with our cartoon/game crushes together. <3
@MarkyMark
As though MGTOW couldn’t get anymore degenerate, you go and try to make friends with feminists. The spawn of this unholy union shall be the scourge of western civilization…
Many of your problems, Mark, I feel, can be attributed to a sense of alienation that globalization and a society that has nothing but disdain for the sacred has drilled into you – society ordered and guided along by common principles might be just what the doctor has in mind.
