Raise Your Sons to Be Dangerous Men

Those who seek tyrannical control over the masses would much rather deal with docile men than with ones willing to fight back.

Understanding this provides a useful heuristic for understanding many modern social phenomena. From transgenderism to feminism to the promotion of sedentary lifestyles, a lot of the things being inculcated in people — particularly men — nowadays are specifically designed to neuter their ability to pose a viable challenge to the ambitions of Marxist globalists.

The ultimate enemies of freedom — the ones at the top of the food chain pulling the strings of the many underlings (the Democrats, the left-wing activists, etc.) and useful idiots — are globalist oligarchs who want to destroy Christian civilization and replace it with a satanic, feudalistic system in which they anticipate themselves being the supreme overlords.

Sadly, they have been very successful over the course of several centuries and are currently in the phase of consolidating their reign, although — contrary to the defeatist lamentations of far too many well-intentioned patriots — their takeover is not complete. There is still a possibility of frustrating their plans. The actions of the globalist cabal can be understood as efforts to quell efficacious opposition.

I previously wrote about the importance of the middle class and its unique role as a bulwark against tyranny. As I explained in that article, the presence of a strong middle class has, throughout history, served as a check on the power of the elites. In fact, the counterweight of nobles and middle classmen against the royalty was, in medieval European society, one of the factors that contributed to the rise of republican institutions such as parliaments.

Similarly, having a pool of strong, capable men is itself an important deterrent to the accumulation of power in the hands of any one individual. Just as the globalists want to keep us all poor so we’re too dependent on them and busy eking out a living to effectively rise up against them, they likewise want to socially engineer a populace of submissive serfs lacking in the character, physical strength, and intellectual vigor necessary to pose a serious threat to them.

A nation’s strength is in its institutions, it’s true. But it is also in the people themselves. This is one reason why European and European-descended nations remain relatively clean, safe, and flourishing even when they implement socialist policies. A European nation living under socialism isn’t ideal, but it is still infinitely better than the Third World. The inherited culture and character of the people transcends the institutions they have momentarily adopted.

Conversely, trying to force Western institutions on people to whom our values are totally alien is an exercise in futility. That fact has been demonstrated unquestionably now with America’s nation-building exercises in the Middle East. Again, the people transcend the institutions — which is why the globalists want to flood Western nations with migrants from the Third World.

At least, people transcend institutions for a time. Eventually they are shaped and influenced by their institutions, which is precisely what the cabal wants to do to our society — and especially to our nation’s men — molding our culture and character to make us subservient.

Ultimately, the responsibility falls upon parents — in particular, upon fathers — to guard their sons from the influences that will corrupt them.

Queerism and transgenderism are two instruments the Left is using to weaken today’s men. These ideologies make men effeminate, confused, mentally ill, and too lost in depravity to devote their minds to the strenuous work of taking back their country.

Feminism is another instrument of the globalists. Through feminism, they have branded masculinity and patriarchy as evils that must be suppressed and even eradicated. They talk about “toxic masculinity” as this great boogeyman that is manifest in boys getting in fights and roughhousing. 

While these perfectly innocuous activities might make pearl-clutching feminists gasp in outrage, the fact is that these “violent impulses” seen in boys from their earliest days are natural expressions of their inner strength and vigor that, far from being suppressed, should be encouraged, cultivated, and guided into constructive outlets.

Healthy boys like to wrestle and hit each other with sticks. They like to start fires and throw rocks at windows and chop logs and have bicycle races. They’re fascinated with guns and knives. They pretend to be policemen, soldiers, cowboys, and medieval warriors.

It’s often thought that children are more sincere because they’ve not yet been corrupted by the world. They are simply themselves; they don’t try to hide who they are or what they want in conformity with social expectations. It’s instructive then, that boys naturally are inclined to activities in which they court danger.

But along the way, as many men go from boyhood to adulthood, the modern social engineering takes that out of far too many, instilling instead a watered down, milquetoast version of masculinity that is all about playing it safe in a safe, sterilized, risk-free environment.

Fathers, we must instill the pursuit of greatness in our sons. Teach them that it is OK to court danger, for only by taking risks can great things be accomplished. Let’s raise a generation of men who are truly dangerous to the subversives who would destroy our civilization.
