The only reason someone leaves the Dissident Right is because they get burnt out by all of the bad news. Things have seemed to go really bad, really fast. So, many of us wish we could just go back to feeling like we did in 1999.
Some of our guys want to focus on their personal lives trying to pretend all the other stuff doesn’t exist, even though this stuff will eventually impact their personal lives, if it hasn’t already. While that’s understandable to a certain degree, it doesn’t do our movement or themselves one bit of good.
Occasionally, I’m queried as to why I’ve got such a cheerful demeanor, while simultaneously articulating fathomless pessimism and misanthropic views towards much of humanity. The ongoing implosion of Western Civilization doesn’t factor in at all to how I’m feeling on any given day. I also don’t “hate” anyone.
This doesn’t seem to be the case with some guys. Maybe that’s just a result of how a man’s emotional circuits are wired, or maybe not. I’m pretty sure that I can attribute my jovial deportment to certain mentalities. Here’s a quick rundown. Maybe they’ll help if you’re feeling blue.
Optimism is Implicit in Ambiguity
Sure, it’s reasonable to surmise from a set of very bad trends that the future holds some very bad things in store for us all. But, it could be pretty good as well. We just can’t know. If you could choose to be an actual clairvoyant, perhaps you’d deeply regret that decision.
Convert Confirmation Bias into Joy
Pretty much every time I scan the news, I can see horrific things that happened to people engaging in behaviors that I don’t agree with. In fact, most of the bad stuff that happens, in general, is a result of things being done that I don’t agree with. I told you so should be a good feeling.
It’s Nice To Feel Superior To Other People
For instance, when mainstream commentators express bewilderment at the increase in London’s Black population coinciding with the massive spike in stabbings and acid attacks, I know they’re either pathetic liars or just genuine fucking morons. I’m much better than that.
This Is A Wonderful Time to Be Alive
Before writing this, I had a dinner consisting of an ice cold beer and a big, juicy steak. That’s just one of the many luxuries we enjoy each day that would be simply inconceivable for the vast majority of human existence. It’s all the result of burning up the finite remains of life that died millions of years ago. Maybe the far future will look much more like the Stone Age than Star Trek. It’s important to appreciate what we’ve got right now.
There’s No Winning For Our Persecutors
Here’s an analogy that sums up the way I feel: Someone may succeed in stealing my house, but all he’ll get to sleep in are the ashes. The “Great Replacement” is 100% true and well underway. However, it’s guaranteed to destroy the 1st World functionality of the West. There’s not going to be some brown USA ruled by Goldman Sachs. Shlomo won’t even have Israel to flee to, either. They’re completely screwed over the long term as a result of their own actions.
Get Some Satisfaction and Catharsis from Sharing Your Ideas
I’ve written well over a hundred pieces for dissident websites at this point because it’s fun. I read much better stuff on dissident websites than the MSM. You’re probably much more tethered to reality than some Jew who got their job as an opinion columnist for The New York Times through sheer nepotism. Contribute some content. If you’re not a fan of putting pen to paper, folks always enjoy funny memes.
Your Sanity Must Be Bolstered By Others
I can assure you that you’re not the last rational man on this wretched planet who notices things. Although, many of us could attest that it certainly can feel that way. We’re basically having a giant psyop run against us. Networking and participating in the discussion can help to alleviate some of the discouragement you may feel.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.

Your post is spot-on. It’s so easy to get down by all the idiocy we see everywhere around us. I keep my sanity by focusing on my relationship with my lovely bride of 44-years. I cherish every moment spent with her. I took a part-time job last fall, which this summer has demanded more of my time than I thought, cutting into that shared time with her. That, combined with this damnable Florida heat, has prompted me to inform my employers that they will need to fill my position with someone else after the Fall Open House. I’m getting back to what’s most important to me.
I am also getting set up to trying my hand at some writing. Have to see if anyone reads my stuff.
DEO VINDICE!!

I’ll read your stuff, sir. Let ‘er fly!
Btw, congratulations on your 44 years-long (and counting) marriage! That is a heck of an achievement in clown world, where clowns divorce for stuff that only clowns would think of divorcing for. My beautiful bride and I have only been married 33 years, as of June 27th. As an aside, and interestingly enough, one side of my family holds the current Guinness World Record for most siblings (14) plus their parents (a total of 15) having been married (to one person) for more than fifty years. Ain’t that a hoot!

I meant to write, of course, “hatred,” not “hated.”
Great post!
