Keep up the good work young man. If it's any consolation I'm following about 125 different substacks trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in this world and you are the only one that has been able to hustle six bucks out of me to get me to be a paid subscriber, from my end that says a whole lot, when it runs out I'll re-up for a little longer. That being said I don't always agree with your perspective, but I do think your perspective has value

Re: your blog angst, the solution to it is you can just have 2 blogs, lol (obviously not connected). One where you state the truth to satiate your soul and one to cash in against the normie retards who are too dumb and stubborn to wake up. But maybe you are too ethical for that.

It is a good question though why some feel the need to wake up people who don't deserve and will likely never wake up at all. It's a calling I suppose, even though there is no thanks and no reward for it. To understand the world for what it is -- there is something noble in it, maybe on the spiritual plane. And also -- if you have or plan to have children in the future, or nieces or nephews or others you care about in the next generation, you have a duty to try to make the world a better place for them, imo, and not leave it in a state of smoldering ruin which is where it's presently all headed.

Yeah, but I don't even believe that things can improve because I'm a perennialist and believe that the human condition is eternal and unchanging. So I have literally no logical reason for not simply becoming a sanctimonious, moralizing, two-faced hypocrite scammer.

If my audience is christians, I ought to thump the bible at them.

5d enthusiasts? I ought to write Tom Clancy style fan-fic for them about Putin and Xi.

And yet, I don't do it.

It baffles me. I can only conclude that it somehow violates my biological programming and higher mission in life, which I dont understand myself yet.

"If my audience is christians, I ought to thump the bible at them."

It's funny you say this, because IMO this is what Anglin does. He knows his audience would be too small if he went full doomer, so he tries to have it both ways: sway the audience toward reality but throw in a bunch of Christian fluffy stuff to get donations and keep the lights on. I can't fault him for it.

"I can only conclude that it somehow violates my biological programming and higher mission in life, which I dont understand myself yet."

See Spengler's quote: "A thinker is a person whose part it is to symbolize time according to his vision and understanding. He has no choice; he thinks as he has to think. Truth in the long run is to him the picture of the world which was born at his birth. It is that which he does not invent but rather discovers within himself. It Is himself over again: his being expressed in words; the meaning of his personality formed into a doctrine which so far as concerns his life is unalterable, because truth and his life are identical.”

Maybe this is all just a love letter to yourself to figure yourself out.

No, I think Anglin believes it. He's had a genuine coming to god moment, imo. Sometimes it feels like he's 5Ding, but I don't think that this is ever the case.

I think he is 100% genuine about his views on women, about improving relations with blacks, the you-know-whos, catholicism, pro-Trump, sino-friendship, etc.

I don't agree with everything that he writes, but I wouldn't ever characterize him as not being genuine or writing what he does for money and clicks.

For example, forcing the dissident right to embrace catholicism was a costly move on his part. Everyone I knew who was into his stuff IRL basically stopped reading his site after that. If he had kept it only vaguely Christian, maybe the backlash wouldnt have been so harsh. Idk. But he did it because that's what he genuinely believes in. Credit where its due. No 5D tricks here.

Roman Catholicism is not Christian: it is works oriented, invented purgatory to keep the cash rolling in and is totally immersed in schemes for riches and power. If the Pope had the power of four hundred years ago, he will still be fielding armies to kill Reformers. I do not know the doctrine of Eastern Orthodoxy, but I see similar ornate costumes, icons, and buildings which are the very antithesis of a Christian church. Church = congregation, the people.

I dunno man, see this tweet of his today: https://twitter.com/WorldWarWang/status/1642522852346970112?s=20

So because lightning hit the lightning rod of the World Trade Center that means God is in control? Huh? He's a very smart guy, why would he write such 80 IQ drivel?

I am not trying to shit on Anglin here. He's one of my favorite bloggers, both because he's so entertaining and because of the Handicap Principle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handicap_principle . i.e. it's easier to determine who one can trust if they've suffered for their beliefs.

The other aspect of this is that the black pill is *very* hard to hold onto. It generally makes one want to become suicidal or sociopathic. This is why many, including maybe Anglin (*definitely* Roosh), turn to religion as a way to stay sane amidst the gloom and despair.

Well I think you can be high IQ like Anglin and Roosh and others, but when religion enters the picture, you start using your IQ in strange ways.

So, with Yahwehism, you have a conclusion in search of proof.

All that brainpower is spent trying to justify and come up with convoluted explanations to justify your beliefs. Thats how we got Theology, which is just Talmudism or lawyering in all but name.

Imagine a suped up AI. You can basically task it to solve any problem and using its mega circuit brain it can solve the problem. The only thing the AI can't do is change the task that it was assigned. So you can task it with gathering every single stamp that has ever existed in the world. And it will literally move mountains to fulfill that task.

This is how religious people work as well. They have accepted a given task: proving their religion and then use their brain cells or lack thereof to justify their conclusions. They basically turn into bots is what I am saying because only a true human can question whether or not the given goal is worth pursuing or whether or not an unprovable conclusion given to them on faith is worth defending in the first place. Those that accept conclusions given to them by the experts on anything that cannot be questioned become indistinguishable from bots and I think normal ppl feel that something is off when we have to put up with a true believer in our presence. We even say "hes like a robot/zombie". They lose their humanity.

Doesn't mean they're not smart though. I'd say both of them and some others are smarter and better writers. But then, AI is better than me at most things too...

I mean look at how unreadable Roosh has become. He finds religion and immediately becomes boring. Many such cases!

My task is to glorify God by living according to his commandments, not to prove God's existence to atheists. Evangelizing does not regenerate people, only the Holy Ghost when directed by God the Father can do that.

Actually, the deeper idea underlying early pre-nicene Christianity is the Striving to become a human being, (Christ is viewed as the true human being)— it's not a given that we are true human beings just because we look like humans. So, its the other way around, the superficial believers of Christianity today are bots and the non-believers are also bots (if we consider early christian theologies.)

How do you explain that there once lived a person who was hit 11 times by lightning, surviving all but the last strike? I'm joking of course, but do you even see the point I'm making? I really seriously doubt that you do. Hint: It's statistically highly unlikely to ever be hit by lightning. Assign a probability to the event - a positive number less than 1 - and raise it to the 11th power. If the chances are 1 out of 100 (it isn't it's much smaller) then eleven strikes has probability 1 out of 10 raised to the 22nd power, or a ten billionth of a trillionth. Did a sorcerer destroy Atlantis so that his real estate investments in Mediterranean beach front property would accrue value 4,000 years in the future? No. You do seem to think that DNA and water mixed with vitamins can turn hamburgers and fries into sentient human beings but that forces which are wholly impersonal according to 21st century journalists cannot under any circumstances intervene in terrestrial affairs. Imagine a world where aliens have astounding abilities including their knowledge of meteorology to utilize lightning as a weapon, after themselves writing the books by means of interspecies telepathy which convinced a generation of heathen bipedal carnivores with vocal chords that lightning is a purely "natural phenomenon," so that when they, the aliens, decide to destroy a sinful humanity by means of their technologies it's all written off as being due to impersonal forces like gravity beyond the control of anyone or anything.

I appreciate the uncomfortable information - can't say I always agree, but that isn't the point. There is enough “Russia will inevitably win” out there when you need it. As Dima might say “this could be a speculation”, but isn’t life a speculation? Who really has a crystal ball – that is one that works reliability?

I subscribed because I see that all nations have internal power dynamics and you have described those that likely exist in Russia and how they impede the progress of this war, and in fact may help the opposition score serious points.

No, Rolo, you're not allowed to throw in the towel. You, Riley, and a few select others write things that challenge my perspective and make me think.

Your Ukraine coverage is exceptional but you have far more to offer. Perhaps a consistent diversity of subjects would help. Maybe only talk about the SMO once or twice a week. Your cultural posts are delightful. Perhaps a weekly posting rotation of:

1)Russian conspiracy theories

2)Spiritual suject matters or history

3)Russian or Ukrainian ethnic groups

4)Alternative science

5)Alternative history

6)Populism

7)Russian Culture

8)Podcasts

Just shift up what you're doing. Being a truthteller in a sea of liars can be tiring. For one, I appreciate your work. Your book was very well done. Keep the faith, my friend.

As an aside, I'd love to see an insider's view of the collapse of USSR. It never seemed to make sense that one day they just quit and a drunk f*ck like Yeltsin stared the tanks down ensuring a brave new world.

You've got the curse of Cassandra:

In ancient Greek stories, Cassandra was the daughter of Priam, the King of Troy. The god Apollo gave her the power to see what would happen in the future, but he also made sure that no one would believe her, so when she warned her father that the Greeks could use the Trojan Horse to take control of Troy, no one believed her. Struck by her beauty, Apollo had provided her with the gift of prophecy, but when Cassandra refused Apollo's romantic advances, he placed a curse ensuring that nobody would believe her warnings. Cassandra was then left with the knowledge of future events, but could neither alter these events nor convince others of the validity of her predictions.

The neocohens view their god as belonging to them exclusively... they are on the highway to heaven due to their magic blood. The goys can go suck it. But it is a universal creator god so how can this be? Because it was not always so, YHWH was an edomite (they lived in southern israel around the aqabah region) storm god whom they coopted as their tribal god, later redesigned into a universalist creator at the septuagint via greek metaphysics.

Russia is using authentic patriotism of her people to push same old 'sovok' agenda. People often forget, or just don't know that 'sovok' - Soviet Union - is actually closely related to the contemporary global government ruling the West. Very similar origins, very similar ideology, one exception being current Russian preoccupation with 'family values'.

Because of these similarities, they united forces during WWII - and emerged victorious. It's important to remember that what we see now is just another attempt of the victors to redistribute amongst themselves the spoils of that old war. That's why, as a moral justification for the bloodshed as well as an ultimate insult, they call each other the name of their long defeated common enemy. It would be more honest - and productive - if Russians started with de-sovietization of their own country before proceeding to denazification of the neighbors . Not going to happen, it seems.

Thank you, Rolo, for your great work. Keep it up during these difficult times.

the more you comment, the better I am able to decipher your schizo-speak.

don't take it as an insult, I think schizos are proto-shamans. the way you write links concepts and words and ideas in synchronistic ways. I wish I could learn to imitate your style by seeing the connections that you see between what seem to be disparate and unrelated concepts. when I get around to starting my own cult, being able to communicate in this way would attract followers.

unfortunately, i'm all left-brain and very little intuition/right-brain. and yet, that is the quality I wish to acquire the most.

Well Rolo for whatever it's worth you got a paid sub from me and I more or less couldn't stand you at our old hangout. So in exchange for losing friends that could have bagged you even more paid subs your integrity has earned you one paid sub from a former heckler. So its probably only a net loss of a grand give or take every month.

Dont know if you followed Vladlen Tartarsky but he was blown up today in Peter. Its at the point where I almost suspect FSB complicity. Reading English language Telegram comments stating "time to send some kinzhals at decisions making centers" rinse repeat ad nausem is enough to make me want to start drinking again.

To anyone here who doesn't know Vladlen was a very well known and popular war correspondent. He fought in Donbass from like 2014-2016 I think and since the SMO started he just did reporter stuff and volunteer work. Even the guys that hated him like Strelkov and Rusich have been respectful since his murder was announced. The reason I say I half suspect FSB complicity is simply that while Vladlen had Patriotic haters he also was very critical of Moscows handling of the war. A Stalinist dude who I follow put it like this:

Machine Translation

They were supposed to kill Alexander Dugin, they killed his daughter. Most likely by accident. Now they killed Vladlen Tatarsky.

What do Dugin and Tatarsky have in common? Most likely, both Dugin and Tatarsky gained access to the ears of decision makers (DM) and broadcast the correct meanings into their heads. It is logical that the ukranstvuyushchy scum cleans up such people.

And now logic and common sense. In order to know that it is Dugin and Tatarsky who influence the minds of decision makers, the dill must have a mole with a pool of people as close as possible to Putin. Will the FSB and others look for such a mole? The question, as they say, is rhetorical ...
