Shackles

Whether a mouse or a man, every animal fears a trap. It's survival. The living cannot thrive in shackles. Whenever, wherever, freedom fades - tension and fear rise.

But then, we all know the social tyranny - the social trap - that we Men labor under.

A trap needn't be steel jaws crushing a rabbit's leg. It can be a web of deceit and lies - a plot of tricks and betrayals that strip us of our defenses and even our illusions of defenses one by one.

Until you find that not only is #pizzagate real, the ones you were relying upon to uncover the truth were actually up to their necks in it all along, and that not only have you not trusted the media for years but you no longer know *who* to trust in a world where everything can be retconned to the point where you begin to doubt your own memories and mind and sanity...gaslighting psyops at their finest...

Take this scenario. A very well-known public figure, accused of selling state secrets, hiding their corruption by funnelling all correspondence through a secret email server, with hints of involvement in a major pedophile ring, who is exonerated (twice) by the secret service of the country where they live. Keep in mind that the said public figure has at least some influence over the secret service.

Sound familiar?

Shackles of believing the lies of others, shackles of not knowing who to believe and so believing nobody, shackles imposed by others or yourself. There's no difference. Eventually you cut your own foot off in the vain attempt to become free. And when there's no freedom to be found?

John B. Calhoun in 1968, the infamous Mouse Utopia experiment:

In July 1968 four pairs of mice were introduced into the Utopian universe. The universe was a 9-foot (2.7 m) square metal pen with 4.5-foot-high (1.4 m) sides. Each side had four groups of four vertical, wire mesh “tunnels.” The “tunnels” gave access to nesting boxes, food hoppers, and water dispensers. There was no shortage of food or water or nesting material. There were no predators. The only adversity was the limit on space.

I do wonder about the possibilities of inbreeding affecting the result.

After day 600, the social breakdown continued and the population declined toward extinction. During this period females ceased to reproduce. Their male counterparts withdrew completely, never engaging in courtship or fighting. They ate, drank, slept, and groomed themselves – all solitary pursuits. Sleek, healthy coats and an absence of scars characterized these males. They were dubbed “the beautiful ones.” Breeding never resumed and behavior patterns were permanently changed.

Will this be our fate? Who knows? I begin to think it unlikely, though - despite the so-called "herbivore men" in Japan acting like the male mice in the above experiment.

Humanity does tend to fight itself. As a species we've always been open to stealing stuff from each other, taking what others have put together, killing others if they protest. Or killing those who attempt to steal from us.

Despite civilization being put together to keep those tendencies overtly in check, there have always been criminals with us. Thugs, rapists, thieves, highwaymen, mafia, tongs. You name it, they're out there - and they're not going away. Even many of our so-called "enlightened leaders" are sub-rosa nothing less than rapacious.

Hell, we're preparing for another bout of this now. The brightest and most competent are refusing to breed because of the existential misery they're in. While hordes of single mommies are busy popping out thugspawn in their vain effort to self-medicate the modern social hell we are in away. Coupled with a lack of adequate civilizing influence, these thugspawn drop to the lowest common denominator of social constructs: the gang.

Is there a new world-war on the horizon? Perhaps, starting with the destruction of either Europe or the Middle East. In a way it's long overdue: time to relieve some major tensions by killing everything that is the Other. Especially the "racist" Other that is delighting in the destruction of our women and children.

Or perhaps not. If sanity can prevail (which we look to be striving for) then perhaps we can simply push the Other back into their own spaces and only kill them if they attempt to kill or overrun us. The West now appears to be pushing back against the insanely self-destructive leftist and feminist zeitgeist which has been running riot ruining us.

In the old days, civilization in the form of the British Empire pushed back against the criminals. They could have slaughtered them (and often did hang the worst) - yet many were deported to Australia. Other malcontents voluntarily went to America and Australia and New Zealand, seeking better lives. Similar separation between desirables and undesirables can be done in the modern times.

In America, just throw all the leftists and crazies into California. Or into the major cities. An informal self-segregation of the sane from the insane has already happened in many cases.

Perhaps it needs to be more formalized.
