It’s fair to say that Donald Trump’s superfans on the far right are feeling pretty chuffed these days. On the proudly reactionary Return of Kings, one alt-righty writer is looking forward to what he predicts will be a utopian future for manly men and womanly women under Trump.
Weirdly, he’s not looking forward to eight or more years of peace and prosperity under the benevolent despotism of The Donald, but to the complete economic collapse he thinks will follow Trump’s swearing-in.
“I predict that we will experience a major crash, far worse than 2008, which will start sometime in mid to late 2017,” regular RoK contributor and self-proclaimed masculinity expert Jon Anthony writes. (Archive here.)
Oh, don’t worry; it won’t be Trump’s fault.
This will … of course, be blamed on Trump’s presidency, but the deplorables will know better: this has been due to the meddling of the central bankers.
Ah yes, the CENTRAL *wink wink* BANKERS *wink wink*.
But even though the collapse will be the fault of these meddling kids bankers, it’s actually going to be pretty great.
[T]ensions will reach an all time high as degenerates don’t receive their welfare checks, and as home owners default on their loans. Expect rioting in a large number of American cities. The suburbs will be relatively protected, but anywhere with a large lower class population will be decimated (think Black Lives Matter, but on a much larger scale).
You may be wondering why all this is supposed to be good. Give him a second; he’s getting to it.
This will likely force Trump to reluctantly call in Marshall Law, which in turn will create even higher tensions.
Ah, good old Marshall Law! I think he used to patrol the streets of Dodge City with Marshall Dillon.
Expect to see elements of the patriarchy re-emerge on a local level.
Ohhhh, I think I see where this is going.
The men in various neighborhoods and families will bond together to ration out food, water, and protection. The women will be tasked with homely duties, as it will be deemed too dangerous to walk the streets alone.
I think I might have heard this little fantasy before. More than once. More than twice.
Although this may sound terrible, it’s actually a good thing. It will start to bring back the patriarchy on a very fundamental, grass-roots level—in our own neighborhoods. This is the catalyst that we will need to bring about the return of a traditional society, living in accordance with nature’s biological laws.
THANKS, TRUMP!
After this, it’s only a hop, skip and a jump to a return to the gold standard, the “final death” of the mainstream media, and, oh yeah, “a new era for America, similar to the transition between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire.”
And then, well, it’s pretty much the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
As the patriarchy has now been brought back on a local level, Trump has eliminated political correctness with the help of others like Breitbart, Milo Yiannopoulos, and ROK, and the MSM has lost all credibility, expect local men to start taking back their school systems as well.
The economic crisis will have made it abundantly clear that we need to teach men survival skills, and this will fall into the hands of local men. Expect home schooling to become more and more common, until eventually, private schools start popping up everywhere taking advantage of this new anti-Leftist sentiment.
The same bonds that men formed with their neighbors and tribal members during the economic crisis will now be used to create communities where children play, learn, and grow together. This will start to form a sort of crude educational system on a very local level, which emphasizes the importance of men being able to protect their families, self-reliance, real world skills, and independent thought.
So what will this exciting new sort of crude educational system have to offer the youth of America? Anthony expects “[m]ale/female segregation for at least part of the school day,” the encouragement of “Femininity … in women, and primal masculinity … in men.”
And, oh yeah: “More recess, especially for boys.”
MORE RECESS FOR BOYS!!
IN YOUR FACE, STINKY GIRLS!!11
THANKS, TRUMP!!!
AND SOCIAL COLLAPSE!
And after all this, patriarchy will finally be triumphant ALL ACROSS AMERICA!
As patriarchy becomes more and more popular on a local level, it will begin to foster an entire culture based around the values that made America so successful in the past. …
I believe that a large economic crisis which forces men to band together and form civilized tribes will bring about a severe blow to the establishment. … In other words, the local patriarchy which this severe economic crisis in 2017 will have created, will begin a grass-roots transition into being a full blown cultural shift all throughout America.
IN YOUR FACE, LADIES AND NOT-VERY-MASCULINE MEN!!1!
That which happens out of natural biological tendencies is always far more powerful than an attempt to control them, due to the natural resistance effect. When you align your cause with what is natural (as the manosphere has), there is an inherent power within it due to its truthfulness, that cannot be stopped.
THANKS MOTHER NATURE OH WAIT I MEAN FATHER NATURE!!!11!
I guess we all better start stocking up on beans. And testosterone. Beans and testosterone, two great tastes that taste great together.
Yeah, sure… this fool has no idea what an economic collapse is.
If anyone’s going to, not only thrive, but rise to power after the collapse of human society, it will certainly be the professional pick-up artist bloggers.
Sometimes it gets pretty weighty and serious here, and I learn an awful lot.
But that means sometimes I forget how friggin’ FUNNY David is. And a post like this almost surprises a laugh out of me. I mean, seriously,
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA oh fergoshsakes!
I keep wondering what makes these people think they’d fare better in a dog-eat-dog world than in a First World society.
I suspect that most people who rise to the top in modern-day society are more or less the same kind of people who would rise to the top in the Stone Age: people with grit, determination, ambition and charisma, who take action instead of complaining, and who are capable of adapting to change. If your main claim to fame is whining about “PC culture” on the Internet, here’s a harsh truth for you: if and when civilization collapses, you’re unlikely to evolve into a battle-scarred warlord.
Hey, David, have you seen this bit of hilarity?
I know that MRAcists being less capable of basic-ass reading comprehension than Cleverbot is old, old news, but this is sad even by their standards.
Isn’t this scenario exactly the kind of thing the USA’s Second Amendment was created to help prevent?
Oh, Scented Fucking Hard Chairs, thank you for that!
They’re doubling down in the replies, thinking he’s talking about liberals, political correctness, and SJWs. 😀
@Scented Fucking Hard Chairs
Am I getting this right? James Gunn tweets about the conniption fit the alty-righties indulge in when he used the word “diverse” to describe the music of the film…and then receives a flood of tweets from more alty-righties saying basically, “Oh, yup, those SJW/libtards sure get their undies in a bunch, don’t they?”
What’s with the elaborate fantasies written down as if they are serious predictions about the future? This is as detailed as a novel synopsis, but it seems to presume that a complete societal breakdown would not result in a high degree of resource scarcity. I mean, where are the famines? There would be famines, and shortages of potable water, if society collapsed. Property rights would also be on the chopping block, with all that is implied by that. It’s not clear that white people would be the least affected by this. I guarantee that the writer of this little novelette is incapable of providing for himself or anyone else if grocery stores became a thing of the past.
@dreemr
Yup. It’s idioception.
In the described scenario, I suspect women who have developed certain skills, such as identifying edible plants (I, as a botanist have at least the ability to say NO, DON’T EAT THAT YOU CLUELESS MRA!) will fare much better than a bunch of dudes who have rarely left their keyboard long enough to figure out how to pour a glass of milk for themselves.
And those women among us who have acquired the ability to deal with medical emergencies (doctors, nurses, medical assistants, etc) will fare much better than a bunch of dudes who probably don’t know where their mother keeps the band-aids.
In fact, I suspect this is the ideal situation for feminists and beta-males to take over and establish the gynocracy these guys are so afraid of. I know women who hunt, women who cook, women who have medical skills, women who know how cars and computers work, women who…well, you name it, I know some woman (or beta-male) who knows how to do it, and I’ll group together with those, we can pool our skills (as a biologist, I’m sure my skills will be useful in the world they describe) to keep the world going while they whimper at their keyboards.
Boy, they really don’t get out much, do they? They have no idea how many skills have been learned by both feminists and beta-males. We’ve fooled them nicely.
I am afraid that scenario wouldn´t be good for the beta male provider (patriarchy). Would be fantastic for bad guys and tough women like Charlize Theron in Mad Max. More of what we have today.
I understand that so many beta males are wishing whatever scenario that can gives them the chance to get married, procreate and being a good hubby-slave. They have born with that code in their DNA: “Mission in life: being a good beta provider respectable hubby so I can have a shag once a week with wifey (with luck)”.
You forgot the (((triple parentheses))) around your attempt to say Teh JOOOOOOOOOS.
Ha, ha, NO THEY WON’T. Any idea how many homeowners are living in the ‘burbs and just living from one paycheque to the next, mortgaged to the hilt for their McMansions? A lot more than in the inner city, where it’s mainly renters a-rentin’. As it is, there’s already a housing collapse. There are abandoned houses all across the Fruited Plain because people can no longer afford to live there. As for the cities, guess what all those tents in the parks are? And all those cars in shopping-mall parking lots, inhabited by people who have nowhere else to go?
And yet, strangely, patriarchy has not “naturally” returned to the Amurrican Hellscape at all. Feminists are still fighting on, both for the rights of women AND the homeless. It’s possible to fight on two fronts at once, especially if you’re in a group already likely to be afflicted by economic hardship. Funny how that hasn’t occurred to Professor One-Stone here.
Also, some of us grow our own food and are also adept wild-food foragers. Myself, for example. I learned how specifically so I would NEVER need one of these bozos to “protect” me.
And if I had to hazard a guess as to what would actually happen during a full-scale economic collapse, I would say that the inner cities would actually be better off because the population there is denser and less atomized. Squatters would band together and form self-defence squads. Rooftop gardening would become commonplace (it’s currently more sporadic). Abandoned factories would be taken over by their workers; it’s actually happened already in Argentina, after the collapse of 2001. Collectives would form and build their own economies. And gender equality, far from vanishing, might actually break out for real as everyone takes turns at guarding, gardening, foraging, factory-running etc. Any antisocial, would-be patriarch types like this one would quickly get expelled, if not killed outright, by the defence teams. Hail Darwin!
In other words: A post-collapse economy would look pretty much the opposite of what this dipshit says.
I don’t think the writer is expecting a complete societal breakdown following this proposed economic collapse. What they seem to be expecting is that local and state governments will become useless, and big Daddy Trump’s federal government will step in and use the military to enforce what looks suspiciously like soviet-era communism.
Even in that unlikely scenario, there’s still going to be water, power, and starvation issues for months and possibly years in some areas, as the military can’t set up a full-blown police state everywhere in the country that fast. Especially since there would be a hell of a lot of resistance to it.
Do they realize the internet goes down when the worlds infrastructure collapses right? Also cellphone reception might be a teeny tiny bit of a problem.
Come the “revolution” I’ll take my skills at growing & canning & preserving food over the ability to write 5000 word incoherent diatribes & make a butterfly knife make cool swishy noises as you play with it any day. What is the fascination of this sort of guy with knives & swords?
Also what is the entire rest of the planet up to while this is going on? Because I’d bet third world countries chances of surviving such a collapse is going to be way better than pretty much any of our chances.
I love the part where now that Trump is elected, they have to factor him into their imminent-collapse scenarios… but it’s actually the “central bankers” who cause everything to go to shit just to spite him.
Seriously. Oh yeah, also, this :
’cause BLM is smaller-scale decimation and chaos, or something. Sure. Whatever dude. I get that it’s important to you to attack actual activists with an actual cause, I get it. Even if you need to do it with blatant lies. Even if you picked this target out of pure dumb racism. Look, I get it. But you need to understand that it still doesn’t make you any less irrelevant and inadequate to, y’know, real world politics.
@iknklast
Yes, everything is going according to plan. *evil laughter*
If gender roles that resemble an FLDS compound are so natural, how come it requires a complete societal collapse to bring them about?
A scenario in which it’s too dangerous for women to walk around unescorted in even the least affected areas, and men need to learn survival skills, is a complete societal collapse.
Getting a definitive “this is good for bitcoin” vibe from these rantings.
Also, they think they (well, men, not *them* specifically) are the only ones with survival and combat know-how?
I’d band together with other liberal leftist feminist types and make a go if it. To hell with building a patriarchal society, that’s essentially just building my own cage. Better to let it all burn completely.
Actually, he fights in over the top MMA tournaments . I’m not sure what he could do to enforce Trump’s will across the nation though.
Also, how bad would an economic collapse have to be to lead to a complete apocalypse? The US went through the great depression and that led to more progressivism, not less. We survived through a shit ton of boom and bust cycles in the 19th century. Yeah, Trump would be incompetent if there were a crash while he’s in office and with the current stock market bubble plus whatever the Republican congress/Trump will do eliminate social safety nets, it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a crash. But a complete societal collapse will not benefit the wealthy too much so they’d probably manage to get some sort of relief passed it if it was starting to get too bad.
Haha, these boys are so extra. They use the Internet as if it’s their (man-)diary or something, and just share their little daydreams and fantasies with the world. This basically could be the synopsis of one of those oh-so-popular dystopian YA novels, but this one is just for the teenage demographic of the alt-right and MRAs… I know a few at my school, they’d just eat this up.
Okay, but this:
Like… black people? You’re talking about black people in general, right? That’s what you mean, correct?
How swell.
I swear a bunch of early societies were matrilineal (if if primitive society is what these types are going for.
Other than that I’ve little else to quip about, I doubt that many of them are seasoned preppers
Yeah, sure. Historically, this is exactly what happened during the great depression OH WAIT.
