How Patriarchy Will Return

Stage 1: Rise Of The Networks
This stage has already taken place with the spontaneous development of internet communities that serve to help men meet women, teach them entrepreneurship skills, improve their health and bodily strength, and enlighten them with counter-cultural truths. They arose because in the past forty years the singular cultural focus has been about empowering women (providing them with benefits and privileges) while giving bad advice and withholding information from men, if not outright sabotaging them. The informational black hole left by the establishment was filled by various teachers and thinkers like myself.

My teachings on game, along with the columnists on Return Of Kings and the hundreds of contributors on RVF, are but a drop in the bucket of Western men helping each other through antifragile networks that share common ideological beliefs. Each network attracts men who have become aware of societal problems that inhibit their own self development and liberty when compared to women.

Stage 2: Seed Resistance

There are many paths to truth, and once a man has attained what he believes is the correct reality, he will execute one of two options: (1) escape from the effects of the oppressive narrative by structuring his lifestyle to avoid its most severe faults, or (2) try to impose his righteous narrative upon society.
I tried the first option by expatriating to foreign lands, but have soon watched large components of that narrative follow me, most commonly through Western technology. I have moved to option two by actively resisting efforts of the far left narrative that is currently dominant in the West. Seed resistance can come in many forms:
Providing basic alternative media — producing blogs, videos, podcasts, and mailing lists that disseminate subversive information
Counter operations — producing attack pieces against far left narrative bots that expose their damaging behavior and hypocrisy
Awakening men — enlightening men by continuing to refine and disseminate ideological talking points and memes
Each resistance group has their own style of fighting, from sharing concealed knowledge to public shaming through humorous images and comics. Collectively, they begin to push back against efforts of the dominant narrative.
Timeline: Ongoing
Stage 3: Culture War

Separate networks and groups will form natural alliances that put aside their differences to defeat the enemy. In the past year, I have exchanged friendly gestures from the men’s rights sphere, religious conservatives, liberal gamers, and even white nationalists, whereas in the past there was either no communication or only hostile communication between us. These groups are currently probing each other for common ground, loyalty, and commitment.
Assuming that individual groups are ready to sacrifice and put their differences aside (a challenging task), a huge fighting force will be created that can balance out the immense power of the existing establishment. The neomasculine sphere will be but one regiment in a large army to defeat the enemy.
Culture war will involve sustained, asymmetrical, and intense informational warfare against the enemy that starts to damage their way of life, happiness, and disposable income. They will soon have sleepless nights just like I did in Canada when the full force of the establishment came down upon me. While guerrilla tactics must still be used to ensure our self-preservation, allied forces may be strong enough in the near-term to engage in open battle without having to be as anonymous as before.
Here are some additional strategies for successful culture war:
Acute divide and conquer campaigns that target weak-willed individuals who are not ready to fight without being part of the herd.
Sustained criticism of individuals to encourage meltdowns and bad decisions, facilitating their descent into illogical madness that makes them lose support or prestige within their group.
Psy-op campaigns to undermine the word of women and other alternative groups by painting them as pathological liars or mentally insane
Creation of pressure groups (i.e. mobs) to target small companies that are sensitive to even small amounts of negative publicity and profit loss.
Stealth infiltration into intellectual circles and various institutions such as universities, media, military, and government bureaucracies.
The victories of culture war will also make it easy to attract new members to our ideology. Initially, self-improvement (e.g. “how to get laid”) and dissemination of truth allowed men to find us, but now merely being seen as a “winner” will be sufficient, and I saw this first-hand with the large jump in my follower count after winning in Canada. A winner strategy may also attract women since they have an innate need to be part of groups with strong males they admire or respect.
It is difficult to estimate the start of culture war, but I want to state that it began in August 2014 with the introduction of Gamergate, a revolt against corrupt social justice gaming websites. The revolt has turned into a sustained gathering of individuals who criticize gaming websites and other sectors of the media, and which has resulted in millions of lost dollars for media companies along with career frustration for social justice journalists.
More recently, another victory over the narrative came in the form of the Hugos, a science fiction book awards show, when authors of the far left failed to exclude “Sad Puppies” authors whose disagreements with the narrative blocked them out in past awards. The cuckserative meme followed shortly afterwards to expose the traitorous social justice leanings of establishment conservatives. If we are indeed in culture war, events such as Gamergate, Sad Puppies, cuckservatism, and my battle in Canada will become more commonplace and increase in intensity in the next two years.
The current narrative is failing an increasing percentage of people, so a culture war is necessary for them to see the opposing viewpoint that is being deliberately hidden from them or outright distorted.
Timeline: 2015 – 2025
Stage 4: Culture Vacuum

After culture war, a large percentage of the population will have lost faith in the existing narrative and convert at least partially to an alternative narrative. Victory will come when approximately 20% of the American population will solidly believe in neomasculine or alternative ideals by 2025, compared to what I estimate to be 3% and lower currently. A size of 20% seems small at first glance, but it allows a tipping point that is more than sufficient to convert others at a rapid pace as the existing narrative fades away.
Culture vacuum will be highlighted by intense confusion within the population over what to believe and think. Individuals will be far more open than during culture war to give the patience and time required to understand the logic behind an alternative narrative that they were once hostile to, especially since the losing narrative utterly failed to provide them with answers on how to live and pursue happiness, and which may have even put their life at risk.
The groups that comprise the winning side of the war will now attempt to differentiate between each other and convert believers, not unlike how varying religious faiths attempt to convert those to their own church. This may result in battles where once-allied groups fight each other out for the spoils. As is said, those who start the revolution are rarely those who end it, so it is possible that the winning group will simply be less fatigued than proto-groups that were involved from the beginning stages.
It is at this stage that a winning group must position themselves to accumulate institutional power. Those who infiltrated institutions during culture war can now more readily assert their views to usher in new policies and laws that roll back the damage caused by the previous narrative. They can also open the door to allow entry of those with similar beliefs to form powerful in-groups within the institutions.
If existing institutions can’t be successfully infiltrated, parallel institutions must be made. This will be easiest to do when it concerns establishing independent media organizations. We will have to improve the quality and professionalism of our entertainment and propaganda to rival that of current slick products that so easily capture impressionable minds.
Timeline: 2025 – 2045
Step 5: Return Of The Patriarchy

Over the course of a generation, there will be a gradual return to the patriarchy as at least 50% of the population believes in traditional ideals and have the voting power to usher in non-bought leaders who see patriarchy as the only way to maintain cohesion of society.
Since America is a multiracial nation, this means that minorities must be a part of those aching for patriarchy, or else the country may be split into several different countries along racial, cultural, and economic lines. I expect many minorities to come to the realization that patriarchy serves them better and provides a deeper life meaning that the consumerist and nihilistic ideals of the far left narrative that race-baits them for their own ends. While converting these more liberal groups may seem like an impossible task today, it’s a requirement if the United States will continue to exist as one nation.
In this stage, neomasculine ideals will be obviously entrenched in the media, government, and academic spheres. Women will be encouraged to marry young instead of embarking on a decade or two of sexual experimentation. Men will put their labor into helping their family or society instead of spending large amounts of time trying to get laid for short term pleasure. Heuristic rules of living that stem from religion and tradition will be used instead of ever-shifting scientific “facts” and technological mandates. A swing back to puritanism may result, but families will be stable, welfare will be less encouraged, each gender will fulfill their biological roles, and society will be better off as a result.
Timeline: 2045 – 2075
Conclusion

The return of patriarchy will essentially roll back what has been added since the sexual revolution of the 1960’s, and all the damage that the far left has caused since then. Neomasculinity, and those ideologies that overlap with it, will either triumph outright in America or be a big part of republics that form as a result of secession, and I can state this without exaggeration since the current narrative is already showing severe signs of stress that will lead to outright cultural collapse of nations that have foolishly adopted it.
The process of culture change is long, and the end result may occur well after we’re dead, but since the current narrative is not sustainable, victory is inevitable. When you have the truth on your side, it becomes only a matter of time and effort. I just hope to be alive when these events do unfold in the Western world.

Does anyone else here think that Beards are some sort in-your-face reclamation of white masculinity? It's all the rage these days...

Sure, beards come and go. It's the law of fashion. But how much of it do you think is influenced by the current climate? The current climate is that China is rising in power. Yellow Peril has always been a thing, but it sure has been given a lot more attention this year.

So is the recent trend of white men donning beards a racial thing? Is it to mock Asian men while at the same time, show dominance over Brown men who get called "Terrists" if they grow one?

What do you guys think?

Beards are becoming more popular because white people want to go back to a "better" time. More rustic styles are becoming the norm for the same reason. And movies like "The Revenant" are extremely popular. It is a fantasy they sell to white america. They cant build a fire and wouldnt know the difference between a 12 gauge and 30-06 but they can look rustic and pretend they are frontiersmen or something.

(racismisformorons)
Yes, absolutely.
I noticed this as well and posted about it a year ago under a throwaway:
https://np.reddit.com/r/AsianMasculinity/comments/3erm34/has_anyone_noticed_how_even_hipalternative_images/
To save a click, here it is:
Inspired by that terrible Buzzfeed page 'proving' that Asians (all 4.427 billion of them) can too meet white standards of masculinity, I wanted to point out how even images of cool or hip masculinity are exclusively filled by white men.

This is interesting to me, because it shows that the Other (i.e., non-white men), are not even portrayed in culturally alternative images of masculinity. That is, these alternative fashions constitute an Other that is not an Other, to put it philosophically. While these fashions are posed as being outside the mainstream to give them part of their allure and edge (to an extent - my guess is that they are becoming more popular), they are not associated with any persons outside the white mainstream (East Asians, Indians, etc.).

This could be understood as another instance of how whiteness dominates all discourses, but these cases are pernicious because of the presence and history of these fashions in places outside the West such as Japan.

Consider 'manbuns' (a word I'm embarrassed to use). The manbun is just the contemporary American vocabulary for "chonmage", the topknot hairstyle worn by Samurai. This hairstyle dates back several centuries in Japan, and yet, its history and popularity among a class of Japanese warriors is a historical irrelevance. White men wear manbuns, period. Have you seen an Asian man as the image of masculinity in any discussion about manbuns?

Consider beards. The bearded man, as adored among audiences, is a white man. Despite the fact one can literally search for images on Google using queries such as "Japanese beard", "Korean beard", "Chinese beard", "Indian beard", non white men do not feature in any of the media of the beard frenzy in America. It is not uncommon for me to read someone writing online that "Asians can't grow beards" or "I've never seen an Asian with a beard". This, despite the fact that a 5 second search on the Internet will prove otherwise. However, this is irrelevant. In this discourse of masculinity and beards, Asians CAN'T have beards, which is the more interesting observation, no matter how many terrible Buzzfeed articles are created. Take a look at the images of the beards on display on the Bristlr Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Bristlr All white men. Are there any brown men with beards on display in these media? Of course not. Persons of color literally do not exist as desirable images of masculinity in the cultural imagination of those who curate these media. To them, it would be like bringing up random animals such as giraffes or baboons as worthy of inclusion - a prima facie nonsensical and unthinkable suggestion.

Tattoos are pretty universal. Yet, the images of tattooed, sexy masculine men are always white. Again, despite the fact that groups in different cultures (the Yakuza in Japan: http://blog-cdn.tattoodo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/yakuza_2.jpg?09b2aa , the Maori in New Zealand: http://zealandtattoo.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/maori-tribe-face-tattoo-300x199.jpg ) feature men (who are probably much more dangerous than a hipster fashion model) bearing tattoos of intricate design and symbolic significance.

Is this really surprising? Sadly, no. But I believe it's important to see what is really being said when certain features/fashions are said to be desirable. It's not the features/fashions in themselves, but the boundary of whiteness they reaffirm and exclude non-white persons from.

(the0clean0slate)
Definitely. When I see a beard fanatic, who is really forcing the creation of beauty standard where more beard is better and they try to shame the one with less, I just see a clever white supremacist.

Cringe. It is a bunch of grown men trying to feel superior because they grow more hair on their chin, with no purpose at all.

We should create a tan club and do the same thing. Talk about how unmanly it is to not have tanned skin. Brag about how my skin is tanner than yours. Darker the better. Paler skin on a man is inferior. But we aren't racist, you know.

Whiteys figured out another way to create an exclusionary masculinity value spectrum. Be vigilant.

Also, the reason why they have more beard is just because they convert more of their testosterone to DHT, which has no use at all, other than getting prostate cancer, getting bald, growing hair on the chin. It is useless. It is literally just a genetic evolutionary way of faking a higher testosterone signal than you actually have. You know Asians are the actual ones with highest T. Whites actually have the lowest.

(blublas)

So is the recent trend of white men donning beards a racial thing? Is it to mock Asian men while at the same time, show dominance over Brown men who get called "Terrists" if they grow one? What do you guys think?

I would say your interpretation is in accord with other analysis we can make on the facial features that are seen as positive.

Sorry if I can't provide further reflexions, in my defence I do lack data to make a point here.

White boys grow beards to look more masculine, to compensate for the emasculation by feminism and Blacks. Same thing for the prevalence of tattoos last 10 years or so.

(KhanHohii)
I noticed it started after September 11th when many Marines and U.S. soldiers entered Iraq and Afghanistan. They had news reports where these Marines and Special Force started growing beard to try to fit in with the locals. From then on the rage of growing full beard became popular.

I guess a majority of the American youths started to copy soldiers came back from these wars with that style and every hipsters want to copy that. Trying to show their toughness and masculinity.

Also the 300 movie was also the catalyst. The movie was about the masculinity of the West conquered the feminine Persia.
