Beta male identity politics

Here’s a real leader for you:

When I swore the prime-ministerial oath one week ago, I said that I see the twenty years between 2010 and 2030 as a single period – and that when in 2010 the will of the electorate enabled us to return to government I also saw them as a unit, and not as divided into four-year terms. After all, one may only lead a country if our plans are framed in the long term. After eight years we can say that it is not only the Hungarian government that has entered the new era with the will to act, with courage and with the appetite for renewal, but also the Hungarian people. We must thank those businesspeople who over the past eight years have created more than half a million new jobs. We must thank those Hungarians who in the midst of hardship and after difficult years of unemployment grasped the opportunity to once again support themselves and their families through work. Respect is due to those in the public works programme, because with their work they have also contributed to making the country stronger. We must express our recognition for the hundreds of thousands of young people who have embarked on building families, as it is thanks to them that Hungary has a future. And we must also thank our compatriots from the older generation, who raised the actively working generation of the present day. They have given us the chance for Hungary to do better today.

In contrast to this charitable ideal, I’ve noticed a striking difference in attitudes on the Alt-Right between the idea that the average white guy with an IQ of 95 ought to be able to get work, versus the idea that average Beta who wants to raise children ought to have a decent shot at it. There’s this idea out there that if a guy running a CNC machine for 12 hours a day six days a week can’t go home and sufficiently excite his wife with his intense Alpha personality, he doesn’t deserve to have her in the first place. Well, I got news for ya: working doubles on your feet is no joke and neither is a society where 37% of men have no hope for the future. That’s why Muslims have no sense of humor. (The despair, not the doubles, do they even have jobs over there? America!)

Look, I’m all for men working to be as attractive to girls as possible. The Bible says men should love their wives and wives should respect their husbands, and I encourage men to be as respectable as possible just as I’d encourage women to be as lovable as possible. But there’s a point at which you have to admit there’s more to life than free will and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. Fifty years ago we had a real country, now we have school shootings and sexual dysfunctions at a rate to rival Afghanistan. Policy matters. Incentives matter. Conditions matter. And even if you could create a society where every man were dedicated to being as attractive as possible, women would still only want the top 20% of them because resources tend to get distributed on a Pareto distribution. (Thots are more of a capital good though…which produce SONS…and sometimes LIABILITIES…)

If I were a truly cynical man, I’d suggest people who suggest discarding the entire population of Fishtown are motivated by the desire to eliminate genetic competition. But honestly, I think it’s just magical thinking by people who never heard of a “double”. Alphas don’t babysit CNC machines, but somebody has to. You may not like it, but if *you* want indoor plumbing, then *you* have to make a society where Betas can get laid. What’s in it for them if they can’t?

One last special message for you historical cycle types…I’ve already mentioned how I feel about people waiting around for Gen Z to save us, but it bears repeating: You are worse than traitors. There’s a tenth circle of Hell beyond where Satan eternally chews on Judas set aside for people who send their own children to fight culture wars they were too chickenshit to fight themselves.
