The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. But when you are inside and you look around, what do you see; businessmen, lawyers, teachers, carpenters. The minds of the very people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of the system and that makes them our enemy.
You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.
I apologize for breaking up the continuity of last week’s post with this one today, but I felt it was necessary to address the recent firing of James Damore by his employers, Google, for allegedly breaking company conduct codes for raising many of the issue I and other’s in the Red Pill community and the Manosphere have been dissecting for a long time now. I generally don’t like to get too wrapped up in current events until more information develops about an incident I think is relevant to how the Red Pill (as it correctly applies to intersexual dynamics) is perceived in mainstream society. It’s easy to make mistakes so if I miss anything here please feel free to correct me or add to things in the comment thread.
To the best of what I’ve been able to ascertain James Damore posted what mainstream media wants to define as a 10 page “manifesto” (really a ‘memo’) about why it is he believes certain gender/sexual stereotypes persist in the tech field. After reading it, there is really nothing all that shocking from a Red Pill perspective in his essay. If anything, Damore is still deluded by Blue Pill conditioned idealistic hopes for gender equalism not dissimilar to those held by the MRM. Really there’s nothing in this PDF that the Manosphere and even the sexual sciences haven’t been revealing for over a decade now. Damore just had the balls to post it on what Google promoted as an anonymous inter-corporate intranet forum, ostensibly established to allow their employees to voice their opinions and concerns about the company in anonymity. Google is only one of many multi-national companies to have these forums set up in some lame effort to make it seem as if they value the opinions and engagement of their employees.
Now we see just how private and dangerous these forums really are to the livelihood of their employees. To be fair, I doubt that Damore is the first guy to get fired for expressing himself on one of these forums. I’m sure there’ve been countless other men shown the door by many companies with a lower profile than Google. What made Damore a target wasn’t so much Google from a corporate sense, but rather the ‘progressive’ feminine-primary corporate culture that is endemic to Google. Once Damore had published his very well-thought op-ed about the fundamental biological, psychological and neurological differences between men and women, and how this affects innovation and employment in the tech industry, the intra-corporate witch hunt was on for the guy who anonymously posted. No doubt Google code monkeys would have little problem identifying and doxxing James, but where this witch hunt stemmed from was far more likely his co-workers and fueled by the egalitarian-equalist, postmodernist mindset that pervades Google.
This is a snapshot of the Google corporate culture. The last gal, Danielle Brown is Google’s “Diversity VP”.
The official line from Google is that Damore’s “manifesto” constitutes a breach of Google’s code of conduct. Yet for all of Google’s insisting that they respect the right’s of speech within the company, Damore’s doxxing came from within Google’s corporate culture:
The employee memo — which was up for days without action by Google — went viral within the search giant’s internal discussion boards this weekend, with some decrying it and others defending it. Sources said the company’s top execs have been struggling with how to deal with it and the fallout, trying to decide if its troubling content crossed a line.
Apparently it did. In a memo to employees titled “Our words matter,” Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that the employee — who has been named on Twitter, although his identity could not be verified — had violated its code of conduct. (I am not publishing his name, because he — and others who disagree with him — have been threatened with violence online.)
Well, apparently James was doxxed identified and was threatened with violence both from within and without Google now. Thus, the predictable constitutional excuse that ‘you can say what you want, but you’ll be held accountable’ and Google was within its rights to fire Damore doesn’t hold water when Google promoted its internal forum as an anonymous place for employees to provide their input so the company can get honest feedback. I’m not a lawyer, but I think Google’s got a really sticky situation on their hands in that their actions technically constitute entrapment.
Furthermore, I get the feeling that Google’s campus is not unlike many other large corporate cultures – a core of skilled labor that actually puts numbers on the board as far as productivity is concerned working within a larger bureaucracy of basically superfluous positions that define the company’s corporate identity to the world around it. The writing on the wall now, that this skilled labor pool is seeing, is that this bureaucracy set of the company can have them fired for daring to voice a dissenting reality to their own ego-investments. How long before that talent pool opts for a more secure jobs in a corporate culture that looks less like the “people’s” revolution in China?
Now, all that said, James Damore, unwittingly or deliberately, has fallen into the trust-trap that I outlined back in 2013 in It’s Their Game. And while I think he’s got a pretty good case against Google, he had to have understood to some degree that Google owns his Frame. Perhaps this was his intent all along (nowhere have I seen how long he’d been employed there), but he was either very naive or very cunning in his in publishing his ‘memo’. Maybe he thinks this is his Atlas Shrugged moment, or maybe he actually bought the lie that Google (any company) cared about his employee feedback – that fact remains that the Feminine Imperative has assimilated every aspect of western society. The frame in which the overwhelming majority of men depend upon in their corporate, career, job, lives is one into which the Feminine Imperative seized social control over long ago.
For as much as it seems that standing up to systemic, calculated, postmodern ignorance is a heroic act of Red Pill aware defiance, never forget the insistent frame of the system you find yourself in. A lot of men in the ‘sphere like to tout the virtues of being ‘anti-fragile’ enough to weather the inevitable retaliations of the postmodern herd for their dissenting world view, and that may well be the case for a few men, but remember, everyone, with rare exception, is fragile about something – family, respect, integrity, personal relationships, the people who depend on him as well as his revenue (and the capacity to generate more) all apply.
Feminine Correctness
Every social, religious and corporate institution has been saturated with feminine-correctness. It’s important for Red Pill aware men to make this distinction because it will inform your decision making for as long as you remain in most corporate environments. I know many ideological and political factions like to trot out the idea about how they are against “Political Correctness”. That term, PC, has been with us for a long time now and its definition has been passed back and forth along political lines almost interchangeably for decades. Whatever it is one side isn’t allowed to address in public discourse becomes politically incorrect conversation. However, the distinction that conveniently (calculatedly) goes unnoticed is what I described as the Sisterhood Über Alles in my most recent book. Feminine Correctness permeates both sides of the political spectrum, but this is only one social arena amongst many where the appeasement of women’s perspectives as being the only correct perspective has been saturated.
Anyone who’s read my essay, Losing My Religion regarding how the Feminine Imperative has covertly (and recently overtly) assimilated authority of church culture – and ultimately doctrine – in mainstream religion can get an idea of what I’m talking about here with regard to corporate culture. The corporate workplace, big and small, has similarly been assimilated over the course of over six decades now; to the point that a feminine-primary influence has become a de facto authority under the premise of diversity, gender-neutrality and combating a presumed endemic male-sexism. All of which feed into the default, feminine-correct, presumption of female victimhood. Thus, we see the rise of the ubiquitous, almost universally female staffed, Human Resources departments whose true purpose is not about hiring, company morale or corporate culture, but rather an enforcement of feminine-correct initiatives and bylaws intended to give unquestioned authority to the feminine-correct social narrative.
In our modern corporate culture we’ve seen a meta-scale enforcement of what I termed Overseers in the Locker Room in my essay, Male Space:
Overseers in the Locker Room
The second purpose in the goal of female inclusion into male space is really a policing of the thought dynamics and attitudes of the men in that space. When women are allowed access to the locker room the dynamic of the locker room changes. The locker room can take many different shapes: the workplace environment, the sports team, the group of all-male coders, the primarily male scientific community, the ‘boys club’, the group of gamer nerds at the local game store, even strip clubs and the sanctuary you think your ‘man cave’ is – the context is one of women inserting themselves into male space in order to enforce the dictates of feminine social primacy.
When the influence of feminine-primacy is introduced into social settings made up mainly by men and male-interests, the dynamics and purpose of that group changes. The purpose becomes less about the endeavor itself and more about adherence to the feminine-inclusionary aspect of that endeavor. It starts to become less about being the best or most passionate at what they do, and more about being acceptable to the influence of the Feminine Imperative while attempting maintaining the former level of interest in the endeavor.
Men unaccustomed to having women in their midst generally react in two ways; According to their proper feminized conditioning, they embrace the opportunity to impress these ‘trailblazing’ women (hoping to be found worthy of intimacy) with their enthusiastic acceptance of, and identification with, their feminine overseer(s), or they become easy foils of an “out moded” way of thinking that the new ‘in-group’ happily labels them with.
Once the feminine-primary in-group dynamic is established a ‘feminine correct’ social frame follows. This feminine correction restructures the priorities of goals, and validates any accomplishments, in terms of how they reflect upon the feminine as a whole. Thus any in-group success is perceived as a feminine success in male space, while in-group failures or simple mediocrity is either dismissed entirely or blamed on out-group men’s failure to comply with, or the rejection of, the Feminine Imperative’s ‘correcting’ influence on the in-group.
In all honesty, Jame Damore’s rationales in his ‘memo’ were very measured, bordering on Blue Pill, in his attempts to preempt what he obviously knew would be a workplace viral insult. However, his experience is a high-profile illustration of how corporate culture has been taken hostage by a mindset fed and raised by the Feminine Imperative. When you consider that this is the corporate culture of a company dubiously responsible for global access to information – ostensibly legitimate, authoritative information by the larger populace – you begin to see the extent to which the imperative as assumed control not just of our social discourse, but the unquestionable authority to direct the acceptability of personal belief and critical thought.
When I wrote The First Female President, I attempted to reveal just how globally extensive the reach of the Feminine Imperative really was. So encompassing is the presumed understanding of feminine-correctness, so ensaturated is it into our societal subconscious that we tend to take its presence for granted until Hillary (the she) was denied the presidency (to the he). Then the societal scale outrage comes to the surface because what was presumed to be correct is not a universally accepted foreknowledge as their social subconscious had presumed was believed.
That outrage was on a geopolitical social scale, yet it was due to the same presumptions that cause the outrage we see over a kid at Google who dared to say ‘no’ not just to Google’s corporate culture, but to all corporate cultures that have been subsumed by the Feminine Imperative for over 60 years now. That any company would need a Vice President of Diversity is an indictment of how deeply embedded the Feminine Imperative is in corporate culture.

Those are not GIs. That is a fairly well circulated photo of Cambodian troops (pre 1975 one expects), meaning the skull itself is possible Khmer Rouge, or as likely VC, NVA, or some civilian rice farmer that was killed while not even understanding the teams.

Since General Lee is in the news it should be noted that he gave one of the most important speeches in US history and order of any American general.
Lee’s farewell address to the Army of Northern Virginia, in which he bade his men and officers to go home (peacefully) and await exchange, is one of the main reasons we (South) are not at war or fighting a guerilla war against the North today.
This speech helped to heal the nation, so let’s destroy his statues.
“It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers. In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials – after the fact.”

The anti-statues movement is different, because it’s not about political symbols like the CSA flags and mis-representations of the Southern Cross, but about being anti-southern male.

These old monuments become a litmus test for determining identity and dividing folks. Unlike real racial issues or problems these statutes don’t really carry the same appeal, but they need to grasp at something that will be an identity issue.

Yes, the jurying of papers acts as quality control for the journals – when it actually works that way.

Yeah, sometimes peer review amounts to one grad student rejecting a paper because he likes a competing theory. Politics. Gatekeeping. The later, and more important phase, comes after publication. If there’s no conversation and competition, things bog down. That’s not to say that irrational persistence in clinging to your pet theory doesn’t have a place. Maybe the aether advocates can stage a comeback someday like the heliocentrists did. NB Lots of people don’t know that the history of Galileo doesn’t… Read more »
Hey @Rollo — congratulations on the #1 slot. What music theme is appropriate for “the most notorious Red Pill writer in seedy depths of the ‘dark web’”? Something with ominous brass is my guess. Chuckle.
Here we have a survey document that includes numerous cites to refereed publications, with one paragraph explaining in academic language that AF-BB is real, 5 minutes of Alpha really is equal to or better than years of Beta, that the behavior is not necessarily conscious – in other words, an academic verification of several Game concepts – what’s not to find interesting? Has Heartiste seen this thing yet? Why would any red pill man attack this survey document?
I don’t regularly read the high profile rage, “The Nation,” but I used to read it to understand how socialists think. I thought that exposing readers here to it might enlighten them. Headlines/marching orders on the website: “Trump blamed the violence in Charlottesville ‘On Many Sides’: Republicans must reject that…Members of the GOP have a duty to condemn a President who has done everything in his power to divide the country” “Will Charlottesville Provoke White Athletes to Stand Up Against Racist Hate?…Want to demoralize the fascist right? We need their white athletic heroes telling them to go to hell.” “Campus… Read more »

You know, back when I used to attend church, I’d listen to sermons where the pastor used weak arguments to support a conclusion that I agreed with. The weak arguments were very annoying when stronger arguments were available.

Wait, a few minutes ago you were all about Peer Review as some gold standard. Now you’ve moved your own goalposts so that Peer Review isn’t enough? Can you pick a story and stay with it, or are you just determined to totally beclown yourself today?

Really, for those who have been published, you’re just making yourself look totally ridiculous.
Sure, quality control may fail…doesn’t mean we shouldn’t insist on it…ultimately, the marketplace will exercise quality control…better for profits if it’s done sooner than later
,The weak arguments were very annoying when stronger arguments were available.
Since you obviously have not read the survey article in question nor even one of the cited references, how would you know?
Challenge you again, fidgetspinner: scroll back up to the excerpts from this survey paper and engage the actual text like an adult. Tell us all why it is incorrect / wrong. I predict you won’t do it, because you can’t. Too many big words, too many words for your current attention span.
AR – thanks for the yeoman’s work on vetting the article; please post back your findings, I’ll read them as best I can, citations or otherwise
Another paragraph from the paper ASD is triggered by: Similarly, exposure to physically attractive women appears to evoke in men desires to fulfill women’s evolved preferences, such as increasing men’s attention toward and desires to possess resources and to display ambition, creativity, independence, and risk-taking[63] [64] [65]. And when exposed to men who are high in dominance, men tend to rate themselves as lower in mate value[66] and men’s feelings of jealousy are more strongly evoked[67]. All of these cognitive processes occur differently in women and men without explicit, conscious awareness of why they are doing so. Surely, to an… Read more »

Ok, point to your peer reviewed publications. Show me. Otherwise, you’re just fidgetspinning around in a clown car, bored and looking for an argument.
Because you are conspicuous in your inability to read and actually critique either the survey document or the cites. All you have done is namecalling, handwaving, goalpost moving. You can’t contribute to the discussion in an adult fashion evidently. At this point you’re just whoring for attention from the adults.
I have some media and corporate experience so I can’t help but watch as these cultures are warped by feminization. But as Rollo has chronicled, this is pretty much what’s happening in education, politics, government, even sports and religion. As far as the media, just note how it’s become all about “fairness,” “feelings” and “victims” — single moms are perfect — instead of facts and rational analysis. Also note the short attention span as we get jacked from crisis to alleged crisis. Regarding corporate, HR depts do come in for a look as the feminizing power center, but also do… Read more »

You cannot be rational and unemotional with people who want to erase you, your culture and heritage. Do so means the end of you and yours
@kfg
I note, however, the that jury process is only the preliminary phase of peer review. The later, and more important phase, comes after publication.
So, how are journals to use the later phase to control the quality of the articles that they publish?
@AR
Ok, point to your peer reviewed publications. Show me.
You first.
When I was planning to ex-pat the Czech republic was my go to choice. The gun laws there are legit
Blax, clearly you don’t have much experience with hajjis
Google, or silicon valley in general, is very blue pill beta male feminist cuck culture. It really cracks me up to hear women complain about it. The male are poosy whipped by their wives, the ones that aren’t gay or incel. lulz
@ASD: “So, how are journals to use the later phase to control the quality of the articles that they publish?” Like any other journal, they have to sell to stay alive. If there is a market for quality, they can cater to that. Sales are peer review of the journal itself. @on: “When I was planning to ex-pat the Czech republic was my go to choice.” I was, at one time, trying to figure out where I would ex-pat to, and I had narrowed it down to either Edinburgh or Prague. But there is the language barrier to consider, and… Read more »
Not overly fond of cities but I did mostly like Prague
can you own property (real estate) as a non citizen? any other gotchas an American would take for granted one or way or the other?
specifically what did you like about their gun laws? why are they fairly different than the other europeans?
all I’ve heard from that neck of the world is strife, but I’ve admittedly not followed it at all
