Red Pill – Culture is not your friend

[Red_GreenParticipant 95]

Hey fellers,

I’m gonna give you a Red Pill that will change your life. It’s very powerfull and can only be taken in smalll doses cause it will blow your mind.

Terrence McKenna said it best – “Cult-ture is not your friend” with emphasis on “Cult”.

We all belong to several cults, religion, clubs, political parties and family. All these groups have some things in common that they all have rules and expected codes of conduct. You are supposed to obey these rules and conform, or else!!!

If you have been raised in a Cult or culture, then you may only have the ideas of what is right or wrong by the standards of that Cult. This is why the Amish isolate themselves from mainstream culture so thier members never get outside ideas to question the authority of the elders. It’s interesting to see that the elders practice child abuse and polygamy with multiple child brides. They aso shun young men and cast them out to maintain this practice.

It takes two generations to break cultural practices. The first generation has to make that choice and walk away from the Cult. They have to raise thier children cult free before the cultural practices can be abandoned completely.

Examine your own lives and see how many tribes, cults and groups you are part of. People that travel and immerse themselves in another culture gain a unique perspective on thier own cult-ture.

Let’s look at a traditional family from a patriarchal society like the East-Indian Cult-ture.

The family group is organized is organized like a small tribe that is dominated by by the Grandfather (king). The Grandfather makes all the decisions for the family. Marriages are arranged between the Grandfather’s of each family. There is a hierarchy within the family with the Grandparents at the top, Parents in the middle and children at the bottom. Everyone is expected to play thier assigned role.

If a person wants to break free of this culture, then he has to walk away from the family. Or the family shuns him until he crawls back and begs forgiveness. In extreme cases, the Father and Uncles hunt down the renegade and drag him back or kill him to preserve family honour.

Is Cult-ure really your friend?

If we look at the history of the word culture, we can see it has been used to mean to grow and develop.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_culture

I think the right word to use here is
INSTITUTION or
SUPER-ORGANISM – in the words of Angry Harry.

All of the things you wrote:
cults, religion, clubs, political parties and family
are INSTITUTIONS, written with CAPS, because they are not allowed to exist outside law.

Matriarchy taxes us. Patriarchy taxes us. No Fucks Given! If they give us pains, lets give them pains. Daily.

You’re dead on; you can’t culture anyone without programing them. This is why even when a man has had many redpills he will ‘try one more time’. Culture has taught him if it didn’t work he failed so he must try harder the next time. It’s not her fault. This how the conveyer belt of male slavery is fed. By culture.

[DorkShitParticipant 4353]

Culture = force as directed by those with power.

That is why feminism movement is a culture.

That is why men’s right movement is not the path.

That is where people get wound around the axle regarding mgtow. Mgtow is not a movement. It not a culture. It is not an organization.

Mgtow is an individual man standing on his own feet with his face pointed into the wind.

The title uses the word culture as a noun and I used the word culture as a verb. A verb is not something good or bad. For example you can “cut” cancer or you can “cut” peoples throat. The same about “to culture”.

But I think the only synonym the op meant is INSTITUTION

http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=culture
culture (n.) Look up culture at Dictionary.com

mid-15c., “the tilling of land,” from Middle French culture and directly from Latin cultura “a cultivating, agriculture,” figuratively “care, culture, an honoring,” from past participle stem of colere “to tend, guard; to till, cultivate” (see colony). The figurative sense of “cultivation through education” is first attested c. 1500. Meaning “the intellectual side of civilization” is from 1805; that of “collective customs and achievements of a people” is from 1867.

@ FrostByte
you are only seeing this word negatively, as if it is not possible to culture someone to become a good man.

The Amish do not engage in polygamy and don’t marry before 18. The FLDS (Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), a Mormon sect, DOES engage in polygamy. Perhaps you are confusing the two? Amish do practice shunning, but a much milder form than FLDS. I would argue the Amish are NOT a cult by religious definition, because there is not a single authoritarian leader and members are free to join and leave at any time. I would argue FLDS, in contrast, IS a cult.

I would argue the isolation in the Amish is a bit more complex; from 14-16 the youth engage in the Rumpsringa (running around), then later decide if they want to be baptised into the Amish faith or leave the community. Not all sects practice it.

The rest of it is dead on. We are programmed to think in certain ways by our schools, families, social circle, media, etc. We have a very strong cult-ure of consumerism and narcissism in the US. We also have a very strong two-political party cult-ure, wherein the media and the Parties, create a false choice, between, say, the Demoncrats and Depublicans. In reality, there is little difference between the choices; whichever candidate of these parties one votes for, government will comprise about 40% of GDP. They will certainly appoint different henchmen and henchwomen and promote different special interests.

Remove the dash in your title and this could be a good thread.

The “world” is FILLED with religions, groups, clubs, and individual people ALL trying to tell YOU and ME how to LIVE OUR Lives.

Life is to short NOT to do your best to break free from as much of THEIR s~~~ as is possible !!

Fer you guys that are having an issue with my spelling it is intentional. Cult is hidden inside of culture that’s why I emphasized it as cult-ture and to pay homage to Terrence McKenna. Any one else fans of his work?

See if you can find the hidden cult in the cultural practices that we are supposed to do.

Like who still puts up Xmas decorations? Would you or could you stop it even if you were the only house on the entire street that was undecorated?

MGTOW is exactly like Xmas decorations. When you realize how pointless marriage is, then why bother or take a risk?

[FrankOneParticipant 1418]

Red_Green: There are lots of Terrence McKenna quotes I like, such as this:

“Television is by nature the dominator drug par excellence. Control of content, uniformity of content, repeatability of content make it inevitably a tool of coercion, brainwashing, and manipulation.”

“If the words ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ don’t include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn’t worth the hemp it was written on.”

He’s certainly an interesting figure. Once called the ‘altered statesman’, a ‘psychonaut’ like Timothy Leary. I think he was a bit overly obsessed with psychadelics, but I also recognize they can lead to creative spurts, and think it should all be legal.

I put up modest secular Christmas decorations outdoors, because they are recognizable to the average Joe and cheer people up and create a sense of community and festivity around a shared holiday — even though I’m not religious. If nobody recognized what they were, I wouldn’t put them up. It is certainly good to think about WHY we do things. e.g. relatives tell me to buy a new car, even though what I’m driving (about 8 years old/90K miles) is reliable. That is because of pressure to ‘keep up with the Jones’s’, partially driven by advertising, but also by other people judging you based on your wealth or what you drive. Saying NO to this is only partly financial; sure a new car loses a lot of its value off the lot and is a poor investment. Saying no to replacing the car every four years is ALSO about rejecting that my identity is defined by the s~~~ I own or a need to impress other people.

[Red_GreenParticipant 95]

Hey Frank, Inagree with you that we have the right to our own consciousnes. Leary and McKenna were ahead of their times and certainly had issues with the powers that be.

The real question about culutural practices is the question of “What Do You Want To Do”.

Is there any differece between putting up Xmas decorations or going through an arranged marriage? Both have the element of cult-ural expectation and only differ in degree.

Now that I have laid the foundation for the idea that cultural institutions are not your friend,let’s take a look at the institution of Marriage.

Let’s hop in the time machine and go back to Victorian England. Young adults are supposed to get married in this culture and raise children. This is the cultural norm which is enforced by the State religion, Government and a patriarchal family. culture Bachelors and spinsters are treated as exceptions and divorce is forbidden.

Fast forward to the 60’s and 70’s where the Baby Boomer generation is breaking free of the old culture. With free sex, free love, legal divorce, and many other social changes people began living lves free of the old culture. This created a split in society between the older generation’s culture and the new one.

Now look at today, where the Gen X are the children of the Baby Boomers. All the cultural changes are normal for this generation. Thay are the children of divorced parents, or, single parents and the older culture doesn’t apply to them. Now the older Gen X and now the Millenials are living completely different lives.

The institution of marriage is completely obsolete now as it is an artifact of both government and religion. Anytime you as an individual have a conflict with Authority, expect to be punishsd mercilessly. These authorities hold marriage as a binding contract forever.

Once you see that marriage is a trap and you witness the horror stories of divoced men, there is no other conclusion than MGTOW.

It takes two generations to change a culture. Who knows what the Millenials will do but they will not be getting married for sure.

It sounds like you are identifying culture as a set of standards, morals, practices that a group follows. If someone is Amish, you can assume many things about their lives and how they will behave. The same if you said they were a republican, or a feminist, or married, or gay…or even a MGTOW. Yes, I’d say that MGTOW itself is a culture since it comes with a set of standards and practices. There are certain behaviors you can assume based on knowing that the label MGTOW is connected to a man.

Even if a man doesn’t identify with any group at all. Even if he lives alone on a desert island, he’s still going to develop his own culture. He’s going to develop his own standards and practices.

So I can’t agree that culture is bad by default. Some cultures are damaging from the start. Some are no longer relevant. Many have been damaged by invading cultures. Some cultures have been abused by compromising principles that gave them worth to begin with. Some take the good parts of different cultures to create something new.

I might argue that cultures are bad when the restrict members from participating in other cultures, or leaving the culture, but often, that participating in other specific cultures will break a principle that made it a culture to begin with. For example, MGTOW cannot go avoid and join the married culture, as the two aren’t compatible. It’s a regular debate on whether a man can be both gay and MGTOW. It’s also common opinion around here that US Christian is failing because it tries to allow members to be both feminist and Christian at the same time.

The relative good news is, that many countries in the world allow people the friend to chose their culture, to make their own decisions. Ironically, I’d say the globalist movement pretends to be about freedom, yet it prevents cultures from protecting themselves from invading cultures.

Ok. Then do it.

I agree with the majority of sentiments here. I believe rape “cult”-ure is the most pernicious lie being perpetuated in the western university system. Our culture doesn’t normalize rape. It punishes it. However, the feminazis would have you believe otherwise…

Fuck bitches... literally and metaphorically

Why would they use this agricultural terminology for society? We are being farmed, life on the plantation means adhering to this culture. Back in the 1500’s people were guided by their shepherds/priests to get married, pay their taxes and go to church. Nowadays, the MSM and Hollywood has taken over the herding of the sheeple. Its a toxic culture for sure and resource extraction is the harvesting of this culture. Indeed, Culture is not your friend.
