I discuss chapter 7 of my book Eternal Struggle

People who evolved for colder climates traditionally can eat lots of meat and dairy products. A high protein and fatty diet keeps their bodies warm in the winter. Digesting milk also offers a nutrient boost as well as a vitamin D boost. But most people who evolved for hotter climates can't even digest the lactose in milk. Their ancestors were fruitarians and vegans, such as Central Africans and East Asians. In conclusion, there is no such thing as a universal diet for all mankind.

In the wake of Facebook’s downtime, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, NSA-whistleblower Edward Snowden, and several other prominent figures all chimed in to condemn the spread of “misinformation” on social media platforms.

In 1953, Russian director Sergei Yutkevich arrived to Albania, a small country of three million people located in southeastern Europe along the Adriatic Sea. Yutkevich came to direct a feature film about the life of Albania’s national hero, George Skanderbeg. Born Gjergj Kastrioti, the man lived from the year 1405 to 1468. Taken hostage as a child by the Ottoman Turks, they named the boy after their word for Alexander the Great, İskender. Skanderbeg was to be raised as a Muslim and trained by the Turkish army to serve as a mercenary to Sultan Murad the Second. The Sultan recognized Skanderbeg’s strength as a warrior and decided to employ his servant in an elite army of foreign slaves called the Janissaries.

Pastoralism, raising cattle, is European people's lifeline. It provides protein, muscle, and big brains. Anti-pastoralism (the hatred of cattle farmers) lies as the heart of the Vegan-Marxist hatred for the West. Whereas the majority of the world is part of a gigantic 'agro-hydraulic' set of civilizations, Europeans and their colonial offshoots have instead maintained a pastoral lifestyle of meat and milk--which happens to make us favor feudal fiefdoms over global bureaucracy.

Did agriculture and urbanism really replace the hunter-gatherers in Europe? I argue hunters and gatherers actually became the ruling families of the cities. As self-styled shepherds of mankind, these minorities of people with the oldest mindsets (hunt, kill, and exploit) are still in charge of our societies today. If we, commoners, want to end our domestication, break away from the cult of farming humans, we must de-urbanize the world and return ourselves to hunter-gatherer lifestyles as well.

Great Britain has officially left the European Union, and Switzerland, shortly thereafter, definitively refused to join this communist experiment. But those aren't the only signs of the EU's impending collapse. Many Central and Eastern European nations, and this includes former empires such as Austria and Athens, refused to support the EU bureaucrats' call to punish Hungary for a law its President Viktor Orbán passed, namely a law banning children from being taught about p-philia, g3nd3r surgery, and other deviancies, at least before the age of eighteen.

Call it 'planned incompetence'. The energy crisis in Europe is not the direct result of the Ukraine conflict. It is the result of a planned attack on the Western middle classes, namely to exploit hard-working people as though they were the West's last colony. Western elites don't care about you or me. They will "cut the fat" and rob us blind before they'll even pretend to give a damn about their people's survival. That means we're on our own, and we're going to take care of ourselves.

I discuss the book by Richard Reeves. Feminists proclaim that machines will replace men’s muscle, and girls will replace boys in every other field. I say feminists are deluding themselves. Substack https://www.jmk.info Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thegreatjohannes

As a process, trial and error delivers results quicker and more reliably than ‘random’ evolution. Through trial and error, life on earth ould have ‘evolved’ not in billions of years but in a few thousand. However, trial and error pre-supposes the existence of a thinking mind with an intelligence and a memory. I argue that a thinking mind can come from nothing just as likely as scientists say material reality can come from nothing. But: a thinking mind from nothing can think up a mental universe far quicker and with a greater success rate than a material universe and its restrictive (self-destructive) laws and constants ever could. Also see my book Eternal Struggle on the topic.

In the face of the daily humiliations inflicted upon us by the rainbow-colored revolution, the remaining Western men ought to build their own answer. We are going to build a New Sparta, a place where we can preserve our optimism, our morality, and above all, a fatherland for our offspring.

00:00 Starting from the Top 02:27 Maslow's Hierarchy 06:33 A Community of Support 11:06 Maslow's Theoretical Take 14:48 Birth as Self-Actualization 19:15 Modernity Thwarts You Maslow's hierarchy of needs has traditionally been taught to school kids around the world. The purpose of life, the schema claims, is to achieve self-actualization, self-improvement, and then, perhaps, transcendence. But starting the hierarchy from the bottom actually produces impossible psychological hurdles. There is a better way to do life, namely by starting from the top.

Peterson's ideal of the "divine individual" is nothing other than the radical feminist attack on the family. They are bent on the deconstruction of Western society and our social structures, such as our nations, our tribes, and, in particular, the family as the cornerstone of society.

The philosopher Bertrand Russell argued it was religious people’s job to prove the existence of God rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others. That burden should be carried by people who make the unfalsifiable claim. But it turns out that Russell’s reasoning itself contained an unfalsifiable claim for which no proof has ever been submitted, namely the assumption of materialism.

In times of economic collapse, the rich and powerful are overcome by a panic response. They will tighten the belts of society and begin cutting away middle-class fat. To avoid being eaten by the rich, I recommend people join the rebellion against them. But being a rebel also means the control state will come after you, for you represent the Unpredictable.

Yep, I choked up at the end. At least now you know I mean what I say. The World Economic Forum and pseudo-intellectuals such as Yuval Harari and Sam Harris want to turn humanity into a programmable ant colony. They want to program your mind, your beliefs, your convictions, and even your behaviors. First, by imposing a rule-based credit system, freezing your bank accounts if you refuse to comply. And then, by changing your DNA. Substack https://www.jmk.info Patreon https://www.patreon.com/thegreatjohannes

We are back in the day of Otto von Bismarck. Will Europe choose to ally itself with the former British Empire in order to crush Russia and isolate China? Will Europe seek diplomatic relations with Russia in order to withstand the Anglo? Perhaps Europe will, at long last, choose its own path, and rule the world.

Culture is the identity of one's group. Identity is one's personal culture. Ergo, identitarianism is really about deconstructing the group. It means to turn you into a bedroom-nationalist, but you are, by no means, supposed to unite as one with your brethren to overthrow the communist collective.

(1) The questions politicians put to us are over-simplified. (2) They drive us to an either-or decision, as revealed in elections. (3) The freedom to say NO is systematically de-platformed. (4) This is intended to demonstrate the power of the questioner, the State. (5) It turns saying NO into a venture that only one in a hundred will dare. ..

The aggressive push for covid vaccines, now for children, as expected, coincides with incessant media propaganda for the coming gender-neutral society. I'm here to tell you nothing is a coincidence, and that the vaccines have something to do with making kids gender-neutral.

What do U.S. higher education fees have in common with housing pricing in The Netherlands? Both are based on projected household incomes. In other words, you pay the price of whatever loan you are expected to be able to pay back. And as incomes start to drop in a slumping economy, the West is a Ponzi scheme waiting to blow up.
