MGTOW Wisdom from Men in Black

[HammerdownParticipant 528]

I re-watched Men in Black on Netflix the other day, as it’s one of my all time favourite movies. Ever since I was a kid and we got it on VHS, I’d watch it over and over again. There was this one scene I always liked, even when I was only eight years old, and always kind of resonated with me. Now that I’m older and have swallowed the Red Pill, it resonates even more.

Background about me: I always knew there was something off about the world and how men were treated. As more and more people proudly touted themselves as feminists, I was wondering if it was just me left. Was it just me? Was I wrong? Frankly as far as this site is concerned, I don’t actually remember how I got here. I remember browsing The Red Pill reddit and arriving here somehow, but every time I’ve gone back I haven’t found anything. Then I show up here and suddenly it all made sense, and I wasn’t alone anymore. Anyway, moving on.

Background about the scene: Will Smith has just learned that aliens really exist and is still in shock. He’s sitting on a park bench trying to rationalize what he just saw. Right now he’s a lifelong blue piller struggling to swallow the red pill. Along comes the always awesome Tommy Lee Jones, playing the older, wiser Kay, trying to recruit him to join the MIB. He tells him to think over his decision and decide the next day whether or not he wants to fully embrace the truth. He’s completely calm and almost nonchalant. Will Smith tries to justify the blue pill side saying that people are smart and they’ll figure it out. Jones counters saying no, people aren’t smart. They’re dumb and panicky. He then drops this truth bomb:

“1500 years ago everybody KNEW the Earth was the centre of the universe. 500 years ago everybody KNEW the Earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago you knew you were alone on this planet. Imagine what you’ll know tomorrow.”

That sentence stuns Will Smith just as this place stunned me. Only reading a handful of the articles here well into the wee hours of the morning, I shut down my computer and went to bed, trying to process all I just took in. “S~~~, all that was out here the whole time. I wonder what I’ll learn tomorrow. I haven’t even started watching any of the videos yet, and I still need to check out the forums.”

Anyway, Jones gives him a day to mull it over and decide if he wants to accept reality or go back to believing what he wants. He nonchalantly gets up and walks away. Will Smith calls after him asking if it’s worth it.

“Oh yeah, it’s worth it. If you’re strong enough.”

I guess what I’m saying is, proud to be a member of the Men in Black.

I’m with you Hammerdown, and echo your sentiments. I actually posted the following on another thread here, but since you brought it up, I’ll reiterate the part of that movie that resonates most with me as a MGTOW.

“Anonymity is your name. Silence your native tongue. You’re no longer part of the System. You’re above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We’re ‘them’. We’re ‘they’.”

We are the Men Going Their Own Way.

“We are on strike, we, the men of the mind. We are on strike against self-immolation. We are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties. We are on strike against the dogma that the pursuit of one's happiness is evil. We are on strike against the doctrine that life is guilt.”

I love this quote from that movie

Zed ( but I could see Stealthy MGTOW saying the same) : From now on you’ll have no identifying marks of any kind. You’ll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You’re a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don’t exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name. Silence your native tongue. You’re no longer part of the System. You’re above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We’re “them.” We’re “they.” We are the Men in Black.

Ha Atlas, you were thinking the same thought

"what a waste of a life, to marry, give up your freedom, just for the hope of not dying alone. Don't get married Son."

Thanks for the share @hammerdown.

That analogy is spot on.

I’d add that the awakening is more painful to men swallowing the red pill. Because not only were we aware that women exist, we were told they are what they are not.

It’s not merely to make room for what we know now but to effectively erase all traces of blindly accepting what women pretend to be.

AWALT is the bitter after taste to red pills.

Men are on their own-alone. To be gone as we had come.
