Another normie interview I thought intriguing from a pederastic perspective: Scott Galloway talking about his book Notes on Being a Man to the Triggernometry boys, Konstantin and Francis. The Trigg boys have made the big clicks league and the effect of that has been to turn Konstantin Kisin into one of the most smug, up himself wankers in podcast land, which is quite an achievement. I was only familiar with Galloway from the roasting he gets from the online right, but he's not too bad. Not likeable, but interesting. He's firmly of the Left but what he says about the state of masculinity -- producing the usual stats -- is not all that different to standard right wing talking points. Early on he stated that the most identifiable point in the life of a boy who goes off the rails is the boy's loss of a "male role model". This would primarily be the loss of a father, but Galloway always uses the term "male role model"—I guess being a leftie, he wouldn't use such a vulgar term as "father", but it does more accurately reflect the loss of adult male influence in boys' lives. But after putting this important fact on the table, the entire one-and-a-half hour interview never addresses boys again. The closest he gets is to say a more empathetic approach to male-issues will allow the appropriate "economic and social programs" to be put in place. So more government handouts and social workers, I guess. Galloway is invested, he's putting back by being a coach of...YOUNG MEN. That is, once a 23yo incel has reached rock bottom, mired in bitterness and social isolation, Scott is there to offer his wise life-coaching advice. A "progressive Jordan Peterson" isn't an unfair tag he's earned. Galloway has two teenage sons and he talks of the huge time and effort involved in trying to mentor them effectively. For some reason, this need simply doesn't exist in the wider world, all his talk was about men and the need to pick these wrecks up and find them a better path. This men's movement approach had its great coming out back in 1990 with Robert Bly's Iron John. The books have since been churned out non-stop, all communicating basically the same message as, societally, things get steadily worse. Ten years after Bly, Christina Hoff Sommers made a splash with The War Against Boys, and thus a new stream was added to the overall movement, one that focused on the plight of boys. Again, the books have since been pumping out relentlessly on this topic. It's a curious fact that with these two lucrative male-issues streams, never the twain have met. Bly's book resurrected ancient initiation rituals, but did so specifically for young men and older men, and absolutely did not include boys. Even though boys were the whole point of such rituals. That is why those men's retreats were so goddamned embarrassing. Bly was drawing on gay molly culture rather than masculine pederastic tradition. Hence all the faggotry jokes they copped weren't unjust. Flipping through a book published last year, Lost Boys: A Personal Journey Through the Manosphere, the resemblances of this incel pick-up-artist subculture to the original London Molly culture were striking. The "boys" are men in their early twenties. A group of repressed, despised sexual misfits gathering secretly to engage in arcane sexual rituals, and incorporating a ruthless satire on normal society. Their outcast status becomes a bonding ritual, an identity. And apparently it’s a $100 million industry in America. The Sommers stream of male issues, focussing on boys, are often books written by women and have titles like "Strong Mom, Strong Son", advice for the modern boy-positive mother. That's just fine, luv, but its not remotely in the ballpark. The boys keep picking Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes and you keep trying to suffocate them with self-serving pap. Scott Galloway, talking of his work in the men's area, said he has two main fan groups: Young men and...mothers. Mothers are all over Scott's advice, worried about their sons. But the sons themselves? Not Scott's concern. He has his lucrative grift with ruined 23yo's, what need to bother with where they're hatched? Overall, today, you could not create a culture where traditional pederasty stands as potential force to do such immense good. It'd solve a slew of serious problems without needing to threaten our modern desire regarding women's right to participate. Or would healthy boys be a threat? Is what we're doing actually exactly what we want to do? The Lost Boys book would suggest so. The author is writing about his past involvement, and from his now successful vantage point he denounces his older self and the pick-up movement as disgustingly sexist. Nothing worse than a reformed fag. With men like this, who needs feminists? |
