The 4th quarter 2016 We’ve Got a Bigger Problem Now WHTM pledge drive is coming to a close! If you like the blog, please donate what you can! THANKS!
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.
-alt-righty idiot
Right. Every man goose-stepping behind a fascist patriarchy and its enforced gender roles – and women having to shut up and obey the menfolk – *really* indicates much “independent thought”….
(Sarcasm, obv).
I know how to make butter!
@Bina would you please develop an online class to teach us how to grow and especially find food in the wild? You could make money–I would register. If I was so unfortunate to be targeted by a primal male to be under his protection, I would take my chances in the wilderness. But a girl’s gotta eat.
I find the names of the participants of this blog very amusing. And David’s writing is indeed laugh out loud funny.
Of course… who would suspect a man who raided the cash reserves of his failing businesses and left his business partners hanging…. Such a man would NEVER willfully torpedo the economy to profit from it….
For fucks sake, you’d think that these chickenhawk GI Joe wannabes would at least know how the fuck to spell martial law, seeing as it would be the realization of their military dictatorship wet dreams.
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.
Not necessarily. Highly patriarchal, strongly anti-technological societies exist in the world today, and look sort of like that, without being a complete societal collapse. I rather doubt that this would actually come to pass during a complete societal collapse unless the society in question was heading that direction anyway.
What would most likely happen is that people would form tribal groups. Tribal groups find their own individual ways of making things work… or perish in the attempt. The way that manospherian types think is “natural” is just one of a great many possibilities which have sometimes worked.
Must…seize…means of….production. *hrmph*
There was grave hunger among the nobility during the French Revolution. Desperate rich people who didn’t know how to do anything wandered around the countryside looking for something to eat and perished from starvation. This coming collapse might not go so well for the super wealthy.
YOU RECEIVE 1 FACTORY WITH NO POWER, 18 BROKEN MACHINES, AND ½ UNIT OF RAW RESOURCES.
WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?> |
@Policy of Madness said:
I really believe that they envision it as a kind of Manly Adventure magazine, or Gorean novel, or Conan the Barbarian. That resources will be reduced but they’ll have no problem themselves providing for an extensive harem. The only reason it doesn’t work now is because women and minorities refuse to
cooperatefollow the natural law.Maybe years of wish-fulfillment through comic book hero and video game physiques and skills has actually convinced them in some subtle way that they really are more athletic and capable than they are?
Their elaborate scenarios definitely remind me of a novel or game where reality is as you write it, for the sake of the plot/story you want to tell, not as it is organically.
INSTRUCT ALL OF MY DWARFS TO DRINK BEER
I am fucking *stellar* at Dawrf Fortress, fam.
A crash by mid-2017? That sounds bad. Could this guy know something that we don’t? What’s his theory for how this comes about?
Actually, no. He is just one of many people who’ve been claiming that a “crash is surely coming in the next year or so” because of quantitative easing (QE)- since 2009. QE stopped in the U.S. in 2014. It’s just as well for him that he “doesn’t go into detail”, because the process by which a program that stopped two years ago and shows no sign of causing any kind of disaster is suddenly going to cause one in 2017 has got to be hard to explain.
Funny how the “laws of nature” always have to be enforced by human laws and traditions.
And how’s this for a bit of bigotry?
“There’s an east wind coming… such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson, and a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it’s God’s own wind none the less and a cleaner, better, stronger land will lie in the sunshine when the storm has cleared.”
But don’t you see? Those of us who grow our own food even in big cities will need a big strong man to protect us from thieves. I mean it’s not like all those guns out there would work if a woman and her family of men, women, and children use them.
Blecchh.
I wonder if that was just jack off material or if that silly little man actually thinks that in a world without law and order he would reign supreme. I mean, we all fantasize to help jack off, right? Some times it’s Steve Rogers and Tony Stark going at it like minks, and sometimes it’s a harem of subdued former feminists who have to acknowledge that without a man to protect them, they are helpless, and thus must submit to his domination and put out whenever he damned well wants them.
Personally, I prefer the former of those two, and I also think it is a lot more likely to happen, even though Steve and Tony are fictional characters.

Listen: In my experience playing a vareity of economic collapses in SimCity, you shut down all the schools, police stations and free clinics to get out of the red, which totally lines up with what this dude is saying.
…Although…I’ve often got ran out of my city for being such a shit mayor…huh…
The manosphere is the worst LARP ever.
You’re not wrong.
I’m pretty sure that the inner cities are gonna be just fine, both during and after, the collapse. All we’re gonna do is consider that time off from work. We’re gonna barbecue all the meat in our now defunct freezers, and then get on with the business of taking care of each other, just like we always have. We’ve had many, many years of practice, after all.
I very much suspect the White men, like Roosh, will be the ones doing all the raping and thieving and killing, as they run around, screaming in a panic. On the other hand black people will probably be relieved white people arent paying any attention to us. I mean we only riot when white people piss us the f**k off, and it looks like they’ll be busy putting down all these little wannabe Negans.
But thanx for the laughs guys! Scented Hardchairs, and dreemr, y’all officially wins teh internetz today!
Look, if society is going to collapse under Trump, you should accept a few losses:
Like the Martini.
These guys always think that a) they’d be Immortan Joe, and b) that would make them the good guys.
One thing I find so creepy about these guys is they seem to see “traditional society” as an instantiation of “biological laws.” I know they’re reactionaries, but it’s chilling how deep it can go with them into “history (as it’s traditionally been told) = biology.”
Seagulls! Fucking seagulls for everyone. You get a seagull, and you get a seagull, and you get a seagull!
@iknklast
Manly men don’t need to identify plants, because manly men can survive on seagulls. HRRRNG! (Flexes, shits self from amoebic dysentery)
*tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tchloop*
I heard there was a rollover today
Of the world and things in it
Losin’ power every minute
And strangely enough people are doin’ okay
In the most unlikely places
Every now and then there’s an oddity
Fella spoutin’ off ’bout men
And women, where to begin?
But I’ll tell ya now, they don’t matter to me
They don’t have crumbs on their faces
Well I—— don’t really mind
I’ve got friends and more around my hearth and home
But the ones who wander in the mist yappin’ ’bout a past that don’t exist
We know we’d better leave well enough alone
(Maybe we should throw ’em a bone?)
@LeftWingFox
Listen…I’m not a drink snob but, like…ice IN the martini? In a wine glass? And is that a toothpick floating in there??
Just…ice, really? Really?
Except it has never been men in the US who held communities together in times of crisis.
The stories these creeps so often write of the world turning to them for guidance are pure fantasy. Those fantasies tell us a lot about these men who think being fans of a rapist makes them “kings”. They crave attention so badly, they’d gleefully watch the world burn if they thought somone would notice them and take them seriously. They are sure they are owed being the center of attention without having to work for it. If the only way for them to feel powerful everyone else being laid low, that’s just fine. They aren’t about to work at being people worth noticing. So, everyone else being hobbled is their best hope.
@Handsome Jack
Also, I have a proposal!
Every time someone talks about “liberal Jew media” or something to that extent, pretend they’re talking about Gravity Falls!
Why? Well, we can safely say it’s of a more liberal bias, and the dude who ran it, our Alex Hirsch, is Jewish. So it fits, and it allows us to make a scenario more amusing!
You game?
