Because I am a weed and I’d like to think that I don’t spoil. Of course this is wishful thinking as I age all the same as anyone else, but there is still something to it because I don’t abide by convention and can therefore perhaps reap some fresher benefits than others. I dare to think differently and be different. You can all <a href="https://southwind.mra-archive.com/" target="_blank">read the <i>South Wind</i> here</a> as I’ve put it up on the MRA Archive and styled it pleasantly for reading on all kinds of devices. I have also corrected numerous typos throughout, so I think this is the best version on the Internet. In doing so I felt almost like the character Mr. Eames who says: “Have you ever tried to annotate a classic, Mr. Heard? I assure you it opens up new vistas, new realms of delight. It gives one a genuine zest in life. Enthralling!” <br /><br />So, why did I bother with this classic, and is it a classic? Given what we know about <a href="https://academic.oup.com/chicago-scholarship-online/book/38513/chapter-abstract/333588741" target="_blank">his personal life</a>, Douglas would have identified as a sexualist or a MAP or both like I do if he had been alive today. That is why I wanted to give him a chance. I like to test the merits of an old sexualist on his word rather than his reputation. He was a weed even in his own time, once (in 1937) having to flee Florence on allegations he “raped” a 10-year-old girl, so it’s quite possible he never attained the literary estimation he deserves. Let us get directly to the sex via the character whom all the men in the novel adore:<br /><br /><i>He worshipped from afar. He would have liked to worship from a little nearer, but did not know how to set about it; he was afraid of troubling what he called her innocence. Hitherto he had scored no great success. Angelina, aged fifteen, with the figure of a fairy, a glowing complexion, and a rich southern voice, was perfectly aware of his idealistic sentiments. She responded to the extent of gazing at him, now and then, in a most disconcerting fashion. It was as though she cared little about idealism. She did not smile. There was neither love nor disdain in that gaze; it was neither hot nor cold, nor yet lukewarm; it was something else, something he did not want at all—something that made him feel childish and uncomfortable…. And another pair of eyes were watching all the time, her sinuous movements—those of Mr. Edgar Marten. This young scientist, too, cherished loving thoughts about Angelina, thoughts of a more earthly and volcanic tinge; certain definite projects which made him forget, at times, his preoccupation with biotite, perlite, magnetite, anorthite, and pyroxene. </i><br /><br />Yeah, that is beautiful. Another sexy passage I just have to quote: <br /><br /><i>The capacity of an English girl for coming to the point will take some beating. She paralyses you with directness. I will tell you a true story. There was a young Italian whom I knew—yes, I knew him well. He had just arrived in London; very handsome in the face, though perhaps a little too fat. He fell in love with an elegant young lady who was employed in the establishment of Madame Elise in Bond Street. He used to wait for her to come out at six o'clock and follow her like a dog, not daring to speak. He carried a costly bracelet for her in his pocket, and every day fresh flowers, which he was always too shy and too deeply enamoured to present. She was his angel, his ideal. He dreamt of her by day and night, wondering whether he would ever have the courage to address so tall and queenly a creature. It was his first English love affair, you understand; he learnt the proper technique later on. For five or six weeks this unhappy state of things continued, till one day, when he was running after her as usual, she turned round furiously and said: 'What do you mean, sir, by following me about it this disgusting fashion? How day you? I shall call the police, if it occurs again.' He was deprived of speech at first: he could only gaze in what you call dumb amazement. Then he managed to stammer out something about his heart and his love, and to show her the flowers and the bracelet. She said: 'So that's it, is it? Well of all the funny boys. Why couldn't you speak up sooner? D'you know of a place round here—'" </i><br /><br />That's my experience with English girls too and I love them for it. It gets even better: <br /><br /><i><b>“Chastity be blowed. It's an unclean state of affairs, and dangerous to the community. You can’t call yourself a good citizen till you have learnt to despise it from the bottom of your heart. It’s an insult to the Creator and an abomination to man and beast.</b></i><b><i>”</i></b><br /><br />This, I think, is Norman Douglas speaking to us as a sexualist and the heart of his philosophy. But I must say one does not read this book as a sort of erotic story, and certainly not pornographic. It is also not really a discussion of sexual ethics. I waited in vain for any sort of sustained discourse of that nature to pop up. Nonetheless, there are tidbits. There is a character called Mr. van Koppen who is just like Geoffrey Epstein except he keeps the girls on a yacht named <i>The Flutterby</i> rather than Lolita Island and he hoards them all for himself. Whatever discussion occurs of sexual ethics coalesces around this figure: <br /><br /><i>“Ah yes,” replied Mr. Heard. “I wondered, supposing these reports about the ladies are true, how far you and I, for example, should condone his vices.” […]<br /><br /><b>“How would you like to be haled before a Court of law for some ridiculous trifle, which became a crime only because it used to be a sin, and became a sin only because some dyspeptic old antediluvian was envious of his neighbour’s pleasure? Our statute-book reeks of discarded theories of conduct; the serpent’s trail of the theologian, of the reactionary, is over all.”</b> [...]<br /><br />“That is how I feel—expanding, and taking on other tints. New problems, new influences, are at work upon me. It is as if I needed altogether fresh standards. Sometimes I feel almost ashamed—”<br /><br />“Ashamed? My dear Heard, this will never do. You must take a blue pill when we get home.” [...]<br /><br />Something new had insinuated itself into his blood, some demon of doubt and disquiet which threatened his old-established conceptions. Whence came it? The effect of changed environment—new friends, new food, new habits? The unaccustomed leisure which gave him, for the first time, a chance of thinking about non-professional matters? The south wind acting on his still weakened health? All these together? Or had he reached an epoch in his development, the termination of one of those definite life—periods when all men worthy of the name pass through some cleansing process of spiritual desquamation, and slip their outworn weeds of thought and feeling? […] <br /><br />In the first place it was a singular fact, much commented on, that nobody had ever been invited on board the yacht. That alone was suspicious. IF YOU WANT TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF OLD KOPPEN—so ran a local saying—DON'T PROPOSE A VISIT TO THE FLUTTERBY. More curious still was the circumstance that nobody, save the owner and certain bearded venerables of the crew, had ever been known to land on the island. How about the other passengers? Who were they? The millionaire never so much as mentioned their existence. It was surmised, accordingly, that he voyaged over the seas with a bevy of light-hearted nymphs; a disreputable mode of conduct for a man of his advanced years, and all the more aggravating to other people since, like a crafty and jealous old sultan, he screened them from public view. Impropriety could be overlooked—it could pass, where a millionaire was concerned, under the heading of unconventionality; but such glaring selfishness might end in being fatal to his reputation. […] <br /><br />And then—the difference between himself and the millionaire in life, training, antecedents! A career such as van Koppen’s called for qualities different, often actually antagonistic, to his own. You could not possibly expect to find in a successful American merchant those features which go to form a successful English ecclesiastic. Certain human attributes were mutually exclusive—avarice and generosity, for instance; others no doubt mysteriously but inextricably intertwined. A man was an individual; he could not be divided or taken to pieces; he could not be expected to possess virtues incompatible with the rest of his mental equipment, however desirable such virtues might be. Who knows? Van Koppen's doubtful acts might be an unavoidable expression of his personality, an integral part of that nature under whose ferocious stimulus he had climbed to his present enviable position. And Mr. Heard was both shocked and amused to reflect that but for the co-operation of certain coarse organic impulses to which these Nepenthe legends testified, the millionaire might never have been able to acquire the proud title of “Saviour of his Country.” [...]<br /><br /><b>“That's queer,” he mused. “It never struck me before. Shows how careful one must be. Dear me! Perhaps the ladies have inevitable organic impulses of a corresponding kind. Decidedly queer. H’m. Ha. Now I wonder…. And perhaps, if the truth were known, these young persons are having quite a good time of it—”</b><br /><br />He paused abruptly in his reflections. He had caught himself in the act; in the very act of condoning vice. Mr. Thomas Heard was seriously concerned.<br /><br />Something was wrong, he concluded. He would never have argued on similar lines a short time ago. This downright sympathy with sinners, what did it portend? Did it betray a lapse from his old-established principles, a waning of his respect for traditional morality? Was he becoming a sinner himself? [...]<br /><br />“Can it be the south wind?”<br /><br />"Everybody blames the poor sirocco. I imagine you have long been maturing for this change, unbeknown to yourself. And what does it mean? Only that you are growing up. Nobody need be ashamed of growing up…. Here we are, at last! </i><br /><br />Yes, here we are. We are communing with a real man, a sexualist, an antidote to the normies more so now than ever and a breath of fresh air. This is one reason to read this book, but it is not sufficient reason to read 500 pages. One must also enjoy the plot, the style, and the many characters who have little to do with sexualism. What can I say overall? Well, it was slow to get into. It was not like <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/10/the-wisdom-of-gk-chesterton-in-man-who.html" target="_blank">G.K. Chesterton’s masterpiece <i>The Man Who Was Thursday</i></a> -- also highly relevant to activism -- which I found suspenseful from the first page. But once I got into the <i>South Wind</i>, I can say I enjoyed this novel for all its literary qualities including a liberal sprinkling of humor throughout and good old classical learning which is so homely when you know Latin. It is a beautiful novel. <br /><br />There is a character named Mr. Keith which for some reason reminds me of our commenter Jack here. He and others really come alive and their various musings are worth listening to. Correct me if this is not also your philosophy, Jack: <br /><br /><i>Money enables you to multiply your sensations—to travel about, and so forth. In doing so, you multiply your personality, as it were; you lengthen your days, figuratively speaking; you come in contact with more diversified aspects of life than a person of my limited means can afford to do. The body, you say, is a subtle instrument to be played upon in every variety of manner and rendered above all things as sensitive as possible to pleasurable impressions. In fact, you want to be a kind of Aeolian harp. I admit that this is more than a string of sophisms; you may call it a philosophy of life. </i><br /><br />The setting, too, is beautiful. A fictional island called Nepenthe situated near Italy shines vividly in my imagination, not least through the brilliant device of Mr. Eames the annotator of a classical work about the island which is often quoted along with potential annotations to update us on how it developed until the present day. The south wind -- the sirocco -- which blows all summer is also an essential ingredient tying it all together. I learned later that Nepenthe has a real equivalent called <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capri" target="_blank">Capri</a>, but it works just as well as a complete fiction.<br /><br />And all the characters have flaws which makes them so human, because although it gets over-the-top sometimes it is not far from the truth. Everybody cheats in some way, just like in real life, some in more harmful ways than others. I have to say that cheating the sexual norms like Norman Douglas himself did so much, and I do and we male sexualists and MAPs make our creed and ideology, is one of the more harmless ways to cheat social norms. There is, in addition to the Epstein clone, a forger of antique sculptures, a cruel Duke Ferdinand who used to rule the island (“his method of collecting taxes—a marvel of simplicity. Each citizen paid what he liked. If the sum proved insufficient he was apprised of the fact next morning by having his left hand amputated; a second error of judgment—it happened rather seldom—was rectified by the mutilation of the remaining member”), a drunkard lady who exposes the bad natures of those who profess to be concerned about her, a corrupt judge, the Bishop of Bampopo with an African perspective, a bunch of savage Russians including an illiterate Messiah figure, a murderess whom everyone including the reader excuses, a lawyer who is so immoral that he is moral… <br /><br /><i>He was profoundly convinced of the prisoner’s guilt. This was lucky for the young man. Had he thought otherwise he would probably have refused to take up the case. Don Giustino made a point of never defending innocent people. They were idiots who entangled themselves in the meshes of the law; they fully deserved their fate. Really to have murdered Muhlen was the one and only point in the prisoner’s favour. It made him worthy of his rhetorical efforts. All his clients were guilty, and all of them got off scot free. “I never defend people I can't respect,” he used to say. </i><br /><br />This resonates with me. When I was charged with incitement in 2012, in all sincerity I was and am still the guiltiest man ever to be brought up on those charges since Vidkun Quisling, and that is precisely why I got away with it, because I am not messing around. Sometimes guilt is redemption, especially when one is honest to a fault, because the laws were not designed to catch an honest man and it is below the paygrade of a great lawyer to defend a man who is simply innocent. <br /><br />Now I understand why Nabokov includes this figure in <i>Lolita</i> as a kindred spirit to MAPs or at least pederasts (Gaston Godin, Humbert's homosexual colleague at Beardsley College, has a photograph of Norman Douglas on his studio wall). Yes, Douglas was a boylover -- but he also says he deflowered 1100 virgins and <i>South Wind</i> is all about girls. It belongs on the <a href="https://mra-archive.com/" target="_blank">MRA Archive</a> and is thankfully out of copyright since it was first published in 1917. It is not a succinct work of activism by any means, but is a literary masterwork and spiritual food for our sexualist hearts. This is forceful writing which leaves me feeling uplifted both on its literary merits and because it offers some escape from the brainless, hateful, humorless, pedophobic antisex bigotry which consumes our present times, especially the Epstein hysteria which is so artfully mocked in the excerpts I have presented herein, proving once again that weeds don’t spoil. Indeed, Norman Douglas is fresher a hundred years later than he could have foreseen and even his normie characters are rebels now.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com145tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-84293094817230672792023-12-13T19:01:00.010+01:002023-12-17T22:51:48.924+01:00I have resurrected Angry HarryI am happy to announce that I have built an archive of writings of the late great men's rights activist Angry Harry. He was my biggest inspiration as an MRA ever since I started reading him around the year 2000 when I was in college. These are the articles which inspired me back then and up to 2016 when he passed away at the age of 64. I remember his website fondly as a powerful masculine force but also it made me very angry at feminism -- for good reasons that are even more valid today. Hopefully new generations of men can also get their eyes opened to the injustices against us by discovering this archive.<p>Harry's new home is:</p><p><a href="https://angryharry.mra-archive.com/">https://angryharry.mra-archive.com/</a></p><p>This will take you to an index page with links to all his articles in alphabetical order, which can then be read much like they originally appeared. All his texts and illustrations are there but you have to go back to my index page to navigate between articles since internal links don't work. Whenever they link back to his <a href="https://www.angryharry.com/" target="_blank">old site</a> the only content you will find is "Silence is golden," which indicates the current maintainer (possibly Paul Elam?) is purposefully suppressing Angry Harry's writings (which is not surprising given that Harry did not fall for the female sex offender charade unlike the frauds at <a href="https://avoiceformen.com/" target="_blank">A Voice for Men</a>).</p><p>Fortunately I secured a copy before his articles were taken offline. Enjoy a real MRA!</p><p>I am going to list the links here too which all go to Harry's permanent home on the MRA Archive:

I am talking about women statutorily raping boys (in the USA; but it is a similar story in other countries). See <a href="https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep450/usrep450464/usrep450464.pdf">this link</a> to the Supreme Court explaining at great length in 1981 that they do not consider women capable of performing statutory rape in principle because these laws only exist to serve as a deterrent to men from impregnating young girls outside of marriage. Applying age of consent laws to men only is "supported not by mere social convention but by the immutable physiological fact that it is the female exclusively who can become pregnant."<br /><br />Fast forward 42 years to 2023 and and <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/10/meet-norwegian-neighborhood-watch.html?showComment=1699528416872#c3457826684146798258" target="_blank">see my discussion under my previous blog post on the case of Anne Nelson-Koch facing 600 years</a>, prosecutors asking for 100 and her ultimately being sentenced to 10 for something even the law considers consensual in fact but is only criminalized because the boy was 14 rather than 16 at the time. How can something go from a non-issue, or rather a widely considered enjoyable experience if you disregard the woman’s old age in this case (remember, young teachers are subject to the same punishment), to worse than murder in my lifetime? Rest assured that my attitude has not changed since 1981. I still don’t think this is crimeworthy. But the normies apparently have no problems with this change, and I just want you to think about how profound that is. <br /><br />There are broadly two possible explanations. Either women having sex with willing and most often eager teenage boys was always a heinous act but society didn’t realize it prior to the 1980s and I still don’t, or society went insane while pretty much I alone remained rational and sane. Well, I and <a href="https://www.richardhanania.com/p/hitler-demi-moore-and-other-pedophiles" target="_blank">Richard Hanania</a> and <a href="https://fstube.net/w/fPrZWTw9vYhHmVBV55Afgp" target="_blank">Bill Maher</a> and <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373916939_Sacred_Values_Politics_and_Moral_Panic_A_Potent_Mix_Biasing_the_Science_behind_Child_Sexual_Abuse_and_Related_Phenomena" target="_blank">Bruce Rind</a> and <a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Testimony:_Adult_Female_with_Minor" target="_blank">Newgon</a> and a few others, but opposition is so thin that it rarely registers on the mainstream radar. <br /><br />If the former explanation is correct, then female-perpetrated statutory rape is now in the same position as slavery was in 1900, something considered okay in the recent past which is now utterly condemned and heavily criminalized. It would certainly have to be as bad as slavery to be worth 100 years in prison. So then the question is, how can I be blind to the ethical badness of women statutorily raping boys if it really is so bad? Is it reasonable to postulate that I am so utterly handicapped, especially after spending close to 30 years thinking, reading and writing about the issue? I don’t think so, but I am leaving this explanation up here for completeness. <br /><br />If the second explanation is correct, then people should listen up and snap out of their madness. Ponder that something women regularly do which wasn’t batted an eyelid at in 1980 is now practically a capital crime. If this change in attitudes and prosecutions happened for no good reason, the feminist movement should be all over it, surely? This means my blog has immense ethical value because I am one of the only ones even noticing that there is something wrong, that women are now subjected to a senseless witch-hunt as grotesque as any historical persecution except our methods of punishment are less torturous than burning witches. <br /><br />It is also possible that the truth is somewhere in between. Maybe women are a little bit culpable for statutory rape but nowhere near deserving 100 years or 10 years. I reject this position because of the obvious positive value many boys get from such sex, and lack of traumatization credibly documented anywhere in putative victims, along with an evolutionary <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/10/meet-norwegian-neighborhood-watch.html?showComment=1698327237341#c5121696938174901217" target="_blank">need-to-learn</a> hypothesis to boot explaining <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aPp598d3S0" target="_blank">why adolescent boys love to get sexual with older women</a>, but if your position is they are nonetheless a little bit culpable you should still be able to see that the hysteria is way off the charts. Barring such an egregious moral position as slavery was in (and remember, the <i>suffering</i> of slaves was always known, so it can't possibly compare to boys enjoying sex), there is no way something can go from legal for women to potentially earning them 600 years in prison without a spectacular overcorrection having happened. <br /><br />When women face 600 years in prison for making love to boys and women are collectively serving thousands of years for such "crimes" as we speak, feminists do not give a damn. They are too busy whining about an unwanted kiss in the World Cup or some other triviality, but never noticing this systematic oppression with real, prolonged suffering except to cheer it on. It was feminists who got us into this mess with their false equality and sex-abuse panic. Something is horribly, profoundly wrong and it is ironic that it takes a reputed misogynist to speak out against the real misogyny. <br /><br />Incidentally, <a href="https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ll/usrep/usrep450/usrep450464/usrep450464.pdf">MICHAEL M. v. SUPERIOR COURT OF SONOMA COUNTY</a> proves that the SCOTUS did not believe young girls are psychologically harmed from consensual sex with older men either, at least if they are 14 and older. The only issue is illegitimate children and the teen pregnancy panic which was popular at the time. All the supposed emotional harm to both girls and boys is made up after 1981. Personally I am not buying it for either boys or girls and least of all for boys. But seeing how the CSA panic is based on no real science for girls either, as Bruce Rind demonstrates so well, the difference is simply that boys are more lucky when they have sex with women, but neither sex are victims in any real sense unless you want to obsess over pregnancy and act as if birth control is no option. <br /><br />The Anne Nelson-Koch case is as far removed from the original justification for statutory rape laws as you can get, since of course neither boys nor 67-year-old women can get pregnant. Yet she is now in prison for at least 10 years (and likely the rest of her life since she will be there until she is 85) due to an entirely new-fangled rationalization for laws which only became gender-neutral after 1981. And cases like hers, but usually with far younger and hotter women, happen almost every day now. It is a witch-hunt which of course won't be recognized as such until it is over, perhaps centuries from now unless people start listening to me.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com184tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-75178168816005053842023-10-23T21:32:00.005+02:002023-10-23T23:42:38.544+02:00Meet the Norwegian "Neighborhood Watch" antisex organizationIt feels like everything in the world is now locked into its grooves. Nothing I write here can attract any more readers than the handful regulars I’ve had for twenty years. The powerful have consolidated their power and they sure as hell don’t tolerate sexuality. When I once reached 1500 followers on Twitter I was already too big for the establishment and decisively beat down. All political activism is futile if not on side with one of the dominant ideologies who may well clash in epic battles these days, say between Jews and Muslims for example. The world is locked in grooves, but it is never permanent. <br /><br />Sexual liberation is on nobody’s radar unless you mean the utterly superficial things going under the Pride banner. Nonetheless, the only thing I can do is to keep writing. Because I have failed to find a “proper” role in society. I am always and forever doing what I am “not supposed to do.” I fit neither a “job” role nor a “disabled” role where they say “that’s okay we’ll just give you money to live,” and neither do I get private donations as might have come with a substantial movement. From month to month I have to beg the state for sustenance. I failed at a career and I failed at being a failure (which wouldn’t be a failure but one of those respectable roles). Every single thing I do or sincerely stand for is hated by the majority. Nothing gains traction, nothing flies. Universal basic income would suit me, but does not exist.<br /><br />While government roles are created by force, a “job” in private business consists of someone else exploiting your labor so they can make money. Neither is the selfless thing it is made out to be. In theory, if your labor is worth something you can work for yourself. I have tried that too, but nothing I offered was worth something, or if it was it was quickly shut down by regulation. Bitcoin trading is the only business I mastered to the extent that others found my services worth paying for enough that I could make a living, but as soon as I was in that position the government instituted licensing requirements that I couldn’t possibly meet. Then I made a technically great dating site called <a href="https://fertiledating.com/" target="_blank">Fertile Dating</a>, but nobody wanted to use it or invest in it in order that we could market ourselves. <br /><br />I have been listening to Alan Watts a lot lately. I am neither depressed nor derealized psychologically, but I realize life is a game the way he gives the game away, which is a sort of philosophical derealization and depersonalization which one can then enjoy like a triviality. Life isn’t serious, but the first rule of the game of life is to pretend it’s serious. While I also don’t religiously seek a state of nirvana, I can slip into that cosmic consciousness easily enough. I can feel one with the universe to where the kind of opposition which I constitute is needed for the others to define themselves, and therefore I am not ultimately out of place after all. There must be losers for winners to exist, death is a contrast needed in order to know we are alive, and so on. The worker bees would not know they are hard-working without slackers to compare themselves to. I wouldn’t even know I am a sexualist without feminists who hate sex. In that sense, we are all needed and not a single grain in the universe is out of place. <br /><br />If that sounds amoral then that’s because it is. Buddhism has no commandments, only a few guidelines that point out how to more easily reach enlightenment (i.e., don't lie, steal, exploit your passions or get high on drugs); but there is no hurry to get there as there is no such thing as saving your soul since your soul is the same as everyone else’s. Preaching is irrelevant because one can only preach to egos and they do not believe in egos. If you want to be Hitler for a thousand lifetimes, that’s okay and there is nothing fundamentally immoral about him either according to Buddhist philosophy. I have a hard time being so amoral myself, but I realize that if I had from the beginning ditched my morality then I would have been going with the flow and I would probably have been a normie with respect to career and socioeconomic status as well. When you don’t try to be a reformer or heretic, all that energy becomes available to you for other uses -- not to mention you are not persecuted -- so you can easily fit a role which flows with the stream. The normies who never think for themselves are always backed by the stream, so everything they do becomes that much easier. When you spend no energy hating, you even have more energy to hurt your enemies, and those who do not oppose the sex laws have more occasion to break them -- hence the proliferation of those the Antifeminist likes to call paedocrites. <br /><br />As such, I chose stupidly. I am the heretic you can hate in an effortless collective way, with full institutional backing. And if that’s not enough, you can always set up a vigilante organization on top of the mainstream hysteria, like <a href="https://nabovarselnorge.no/">https://nabovarselnorge.no/</a>, and milk the normies some more to support yourself in the ultimate politically correct role. <br /><br />That would be the apotheosis of going with the flow. Pedo hunters exploit the moral panic to the max. There is a sort of intelligence to that, though I suspect the most Zen way is to just let go and be the blank slate of the stereotypical normie, ready to be filled with whatever morality society throws at you. It emphatically does not matter if that is Nazism or feminism or whatever -- going with the stream means accepting everything with equal detachment because you are the stream. There is nothing to hang on to. Everything decays, including morality, plus it’s cyclical so we probably get back to a more humane morality soon enough anyway. Activism can’t take us there faster, because nobody ever changes their minds in response to persuasion. Hell, I didn’t even become a sexualist by persuasion; it feels like I organically grew into that role and now for example read people like Bruce Rind who scientifically proves CSA is a hoax because his were always my opinions. No matter how good the evidence, people practically never change their opinions <i>after</i> seeing the evidence. <br /><br />The normies believe sex is a demonic force which corrupts the young. They believe sexuality puts children in hell, even if they are enjoying it, particularly when they are exposed to a person who is more than a couple years older. They implicitly believe in a sexual soul (or perhaps “innocent” soul) which is silently corrupted by sexuality. This corruption is then believed to manifest as something like PTSD throughout the “CSA victims’” adult lives, and again the damage can be silent there too so that positive memories are false consciousness. Sexuality is believed to have an entire alternative universe where all of sexuality relating to minors is this demonic substance, “pedophilia,” that they need to hunt and exorcise except it can’t be exorcised so the Pedophile must forever be separated from society via incarceration and registration. This is a superstitious belief akin to demonic possession or animism whereby the physical and psychological phenomenon of sexuality is imbued with an extra, perfectly evil dimension. In short they believe in the metaphysical badness of sex. Sex is the new Satan for all the normies to believe in even if they are atheists. <br /><br />And this is where we are now, but oh well, life isn’t serious anyway. Perhaps I realized this too late -- and I am still not completely sold on that idea which can be summed up in the <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/09/metaphysical-interlude-ii-idiotic.html" target="_blank">idiotic conundrum</a> of whether consciousness is singular (in which case morality has no meaning) or plural (in which case one should have compassion with other souls). If you believe in nothing, you are the perfect candidate to go with the flow, which is what society is. I am the rare rebel who enables them to feel like they believe in something even though they believe in nothing.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com166tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-8808923196768557152023-10-18T22:33:00.003+02:002023-10-18T23:07:22.437+02:00The wisdom of G.K. Chesterton in "The Man Who Was Thursday"Hearing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHBZqEOwpnM">Alan Watts speak highly of G.K. Chesterton</a> I was inspired to read his novel <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1695"><i>The Man Who Was Thursday</i></a> (first published in 1908; Chesterton lived from 1874 to 1936). I am impressed! It is usually described as a metaphysical thriller, which as ambitious as it sounds I must say it fully lives up to. It is also so much more, most superficially a kind of detective story, with much wisdom along the way not least about activism, which is why I found it surprisingly relevant to our sexualist movement. I recommend reading it as a philosophical exploration of activism and heresy, good and evil, and the meaning of the whole universe and existence itself. At the deepest level it can be read as an allegory of how God brings souls into the world:<br /><blockquote>“Are you the new recruit?” asked a heavy voice.<br />And in some strange way, though there was not the shadow of a shape in the gloom, Syme knew two things: first, that it came from a man of massive stature; and second, that the man had his back to him.<br />“Are you the new recruit?” said the invisible chief, who seemed to have heard all about it. “All right. You are engaged.”<br />Syme, quite swept off his feet, made a feeble fight against this irrevocable phrase.<br />“I really have no experience,” he began.<br />“No one has any experience,” said the other, “of the Battle of Armageddon.”<br />“But I am really unfit—”<br />“You are willing, that is enough,” said the unknown.<br />“Well, really,” said Syme, “I don’t know any profession of which mere willingness is the final test.”<br />“I do,” said the other—“martyrs. I am condemning you to death. Good day.”</blockquote>Life is first of all surprise. The only known fact to begin with is that you are sentenced to death, from which all the variation of life springs out (you can't even know you are alive without knowing you must die). This is the "joyous cosmology" of Alan Watts which despite the latter's atheism and nihilism (Buddhism) bears an amazing resemblance to the cosmology of the deeply Christian Chesterton here. Given that you have accepted the challenge to be an activist or perhaps just to live at all, we get this delightful wisdom about how to go about it. Should people like anarchists, MAPs and sexualists disguise their identity? I know none of you will believe it, but there is much truth to this:<br /><blockquote>“The history of the thing might amuse you,” he said. “When first I became one of the New Anarchists I tried all kinds of respectable disguises. I dressed up as a bishop. I read up all about bishops in our anarchist pamphlets, in <i>Superstition the Vampire</i> and <i>Priests of Prey</i>. I certainly understood from them that bishops are strange and terrible old men keeping a cruel secret from mankind. I was misinformed. When on my first appearing in episcopal gaiters in a drawing-room I cried out in a voice of thunder, ‘Down! down! presumptuous human reason!’ they found out in some way that I was not a bishop at all. I was nabbed at once. Then I made up as a millionaire; but I defended Capital with so much intelligence that a fool could see that I was quite poor. Then I tried being a major. Now I am a humanitarian myself, but I have, I hope, enough intellectual breadth to understand the position of those who, like Nietzsche, admire violence—the proud, mad war of Nature and all that, you know. I threw myself into the major. I drew my sword and waved it constantly. I called out ‘Blood!’ abstractedly, like a man calling for wine. I often said, ‘Let the weak perish; it is the Law.’ Well, well, it seems majors don’t do this. I was nabbed again. At last I went in despair to the President of the Central Anarchist Council, who is the greatest man in Europe.” [...] I said to him, ‘What disguise will hide me from the world? What can I find more respectable than bishops and majors?’ He looked at me with his large but indecipherable face. ‘You want a safe disguise, do you? You want a dress which will guarantee you harmless; a dress in which no one would ever look for a bomb?’ I nodded. He suddenly lifted his lion’s voice. ‘Why, then, dress up as an <i>anarchist</i>, you fool!’ he roared so that the room shook. ‘Nobody will ever expect you to do anything dangerous then.’ And he turned his broad back on me without another word. I took his advice, and have never regretted it. I preached blood and murder to those women day and night, and—by God!—they would let me wheel their perambulators.”</blockquote>And I know -- I know I will keep getting 99% anonymous comments after this hilariously touching quote too. But you are mistaken about the utility of keeping your true colors hidden in your daily lives as majors or bishops or whatever is your "respectable" role. The fact of the matter is that such secrecy is counterproductive not just to our movement but your personal safety against the feminist police state as well.<br /><br />Certainly now that society currently isn't persecuting heretics. Even for sex crimes now when antisex is the state religion, the heresy itself isn't punished. Just watch me deny the metaphysical badness of sex in blog post after blog post without getting arrested -- or if I do get arrested, at least without conviction. Hey, even <a href="https://heretictoc.com/" target="_blank">Heretic TOC</a> is still up and I have no doubt women would let him wheel their perambulators because he is so open and honest about his activism, not the least bit creepy or hypocritical. The closest we come to punishing heresy is the obscenity laws, which admittedly come very close and sometimes do serve as <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2016/12/my-soul-is-criminal.html" target="_blank">repurposed blasphemy laws</a> but still allow considerable rhetorical leeway. Chesterton allows us to imagine what it would be like if the police were philosophers and not just brutes:<br /><blockquote>“You are not sufficiently democratic,” answered the policeman, “but you were right when you said just now that our ordinary treatment of the poor criminal was a pretty brutal business. I tell you I am sometimes sick of my trade when I see how perpetually it means merely a war upon the ignorant and the desperate. But this new movement of ours is a very different affair. We deny the snobbish English assumption that the uneducated are the dangerous criminals. We remember the Roman Emperors. We remember the great poisoning princes of the Renaissance. We say that the dangerous criminal is the educated criminal. We say that the most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men; my heart goes out to them. They accept the essential ideal of man; they merely seek it wrongly. Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it. But philosophers dislike property as property; they wish to destroy the very idea of personal possession. Bigamists respect marriage, or they would not go through the highly ceremonial and even ritualistic formality of bigamy. But philosophers despise marriage as marriage. Murderers respect human life; they merely wish to attain a greater fulness of human life in themselves by the sacrifice of what seems to them to be lesser lives.”</blockquote>I would add that most sex offenders have no political or philosophical beef with the sex laws. They have no interest in denying the supposed metaphysical badness of sex with minors, or women's right to regret-rape laws or whatever. They merely thought <i>they</i> could get away with breaking these laws, or that they are somehow more innocent at heart than other men doing precisely the same things. The protagonist replies thus to the policeman:<br /><blockquote>“How true that is,” he cried. “I have felt it from my boyhood, but never could state the verbal antithesis. The common criminal is a bad man, but at least he is, as it were, a conditional good man. He says that if only a certain obstacle be removed—say a wealthy uncle—he is then prepared to accept the universe and to praise God. He is a reformer, but not an anarchist. He wishes to cleanse the edifice, but not to destroy it. But the evil philosopher is not trying to alter things, but to annihilate them. Yes, the modern world has retained all those parts of police work which are really oppressive and ignominious, the harrying of the poor, the spying upon the unfortunate. It has given up its more dignified work, the punishment of powerful traitors in the State and powerful heresiarchs in the Church. <b>The moderns say we must not punish heretics. My only doubt is whether we have a right to punish anybody else</b>.”</blockquote>This is eerily similar to what I have been thinking ever since I was arrested in 2012 and found myself to be the worst person in the prison from the point of view of philosophical policing, because everyone else was this sort of "conditionally good person" or someone who had problems with impulse control and I alone a heretic. I marvel that I am not punished for speaking heresy against the sex laws while pathetic harmless wankers who would never say a bad word about the sex laws are.<br /><br />But rest assured the police does not read Chesterton, and neither do the feminists who deliver their ideological premises. They are set to continue their <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-metaphysics-of-online-sexual-abuse.html">absurdly misguided</a> war on sex for a long time, which leaves us peace to organize our intellectual opposition. <a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">Newgon</a> is on track to produce a powerful body of work which can jumpstart a movement for sexual liberation in no time when conditions are right. If the feminists wise up a little bit it it may well have to survive in illegal channels for a while like the "CSAM" the state also fights with perfect futility, but I am confident it will persist. The feminists can kill us, but they can't kill our ideas because we are already too many dedicated activists for that to succeed.<br /><br />As to the book I just reviewed, there were no spoilers here. Go ahead and read it for fun and edification and perhaps even the deepest meaning Chesterton seems to intend, which is a sort of periphrasis of the Bible. It is not overly preachy, however, closer to Alan Watts as such. Although the subtitle is "A Nightmare," it feels uplifting in the end, whether you ultimately believe in a God or not. It is a bringer of good news as in a gospel and renewed sense of wonder. Poetry is the art of saying what cannot be said, and I think this succeeds as such. Since it cannot be put simply, you would have to read it to find out what this is. To me it even speaks to my role in the battle between good and evil as a male sexualist. To paraphrase the ending a little bit, I am left with an unnatural buoyancy in my body and a crystal simplicity in mind. I now feel in possession of some impossible good news which makes every other thing a triviality, but an adorable triviality.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com32tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-56698378244542219132023-09-27T14:06:00.010+02:002024-03-02T01:41:48.406+01:00Who wants a staggered age of consent?Let us consider the idea of a staggered age of consent, which is currently floated in the UK as part of a campaign of hatred against men led by the government and media and a woman who had a relationship to Russell Brand when she was 16 and now fancies herself a victim -- not just of an alleged assault but of the entire relationship in principle because he was 30. Of course the feminists would love to raise it to 18 for all, but a staggered age of consent is suggested as a kind of compromise. But is it really?<div><br /></div><div>Actually it brings discrimination front and center at a time when we are not supposed to discriminate, which is probably why <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/russell-brand-men-more-likely-than-women-to-think-sex-between-16-year-old-and-older-partner-is-okay-12968108" target="_blank">surveys</a> show less support for this concept than raising the age of consent absolutely. Let’s say the law gets staggered so people under 18 are restricted to consenting to 20 and under while anyone older is defined as an abuser if there is any sexual contact. You get two classes of people. The “morally pure” up to 21 who can be trusted with teenage lovers down to 16 and the second-class citizens 21 and over who cannot. The moral class division is inescapable, forcing us to think of what was previously regular adults as morally inferior to not just children but some semi-hallowed class in between.<div><div><br />A, say, 40-year-old normie will not conceptualize it like he is a bad person or worse than a 20-year-old and therefore cannot sleep with 16-year-old girls, but that’s what this scheme says. Having been indoctrinated with feminist antisex bigotry his whole life he will sputter some shibboleth about a “power imbalance” when asked why, but even if true then why does he assume he will use his power for bad? He must think he is a bad person! He is full of self-loathing while also managing to ignore that the teenage girl has tremendous sexual power over most men, so why should she choose to let <i>him</i> boss her around? Why can’t she choose an older man (if she happens to choose an older man) who is both “powerful” and nice? Oh, they don’t exist, do they? Then we are back to the idea that men over the staggered age of consent at something like 21, or the regular age of consent at 16 for that matter, are morally worse persons than below. And what is the evidence for that? <br /><br />The <a href="https://wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcs.1571" target="_blank">evidence</a> I know of says people become more considerate with age. People become more altruistic, with the reward system in their brain responding more weakly to self-gains and more strongly to others' gains. It would be astonishing if sex is an exception to this and we all reach maximum sexual benevolence at 16 or 18 or 20, after which we all irredeemably become sexual monsters. It is absurd. There is also an awful lot of sexual aggression by men 20 and under which is hard to reconcile with making them out to be a morally pure class. Real rapists tend to be quite young while accusations against men 40 and older are almost always statutory.<br /><br />Now a normie would be likely to bring up naiveness -- that it is somehow better for young girls to have their first experiences with naïve boys. Even if there is a grain of truth to the idea that a virgin or timid incel boy would be less likely to mistreat girls, naiveness is not related to age but experience. The boys teenage girls are likely to sleep with of their own age don’t remain inexperienced for long. Realistically we must imagine the 16-year-old Russell Brand-accuser choosing instead (if there had been an enforced staggered age of consent) not some virgin 16-year-old boy but a 16 to 20-year-old version of Russell Brand or similar alpha, who would probably already have had dozens of girls and act similarly already as he did at 30. It is indeed possible that Russell Brand was an inconsiderate lover, but age of consent does not solve the problem. Frankly it does the opposite -- as sexual aggression goes down while compassion goes up -- and I think even he has calmed down over the years and would not now at near 50 do what he is accused of with the 16-year-old if he should get the chance to have another Alice, which by the way is: “<a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12553943/Russell-Brand-accuser-Alice.html" target="_blank">'forced his penis down her throat' and 'made her choke'</a>, only stopping after she punched him in the stomach.” The problem with older men is not that they tend to act like that, whereas I am not so sure that teenage boys weaned on today’s porn yet know better than to act like that. You see, they are all really not so naïve after all even if they never had sex, and not in a good way. <br /><br />It is of course true that attractiveness declines with age, but that simply makes age gap relationships <i>less likely</i> rather than more inherently abusive. Attraction isn’t always zero, and whoever remains interested in an older man do not need a law telling them that they can’t consent. It is also entirely possible, even likely, that an older man is a more considerate, empathetic lover and will use whatever power he has over you for good rather than bad. If your view of human nature is that vulnerable equals abuse victim, I don’t see how you can trust any kind of relationship. There are many more profound ways to be vulnerable than to be young, and if you think your partner is only waiting for you to be weak so he can hurt you it would be dangerous to even fall asleep next him at any age, or be frail or incapacitated for any reason. Yet this is what the feminists will have us believe, selectively applied to age gap and sexuality. It may be consistent with their hateful agenda, but not with reality.<br /> </div></div></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com113tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-81111701741765466472023-09-22T13:35:00.008+02:002023-09-22T14:18:07.618+02:00A taste of armageddonWhen the twenty-third episode of the original <i>Star Trek</i> series first aired on February 23, 1967, little did they know how prophetic it would be. In this episode, the crew of the Enterprise visits a planet engaged in a completely computer-simulated war with a neighboring planet, but the casualties, including the Enterprise's crew, are supposed to be real. Although praised as allegorically powerful, the premise seemed almost too implausible to make a compelling story according to critics at the time. But that was before the Feminist War On Sex in which we are currently mired. Now it is seen as completely normal to lock men up for computer-simulated crimes. This is no longer a metaphor or philosophical speculation about how war could be "sanitized," but our everyday "criminal-justice" reality.<br /><br />Let us take the most low-tech scenarios first. A sting operation is a simulation, a game, and it is considered plenty justification to lock men up. And then there is online sexual abuse and so-called image-based sexual abuse which is completely virtual but considered fully real crimes of which the <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/07/the-metaphysics-of-online-sexual-abuse.html" target="_blank">metaphysics</a> isn't the least bit suspect to the normies -- exactly like the docile aliens in <i>Star Trek</i> who obediently enter the disintegrator after a computer simulation tells them they are supposed to be dead. They literally believe these norms are reasonable and Kirk is a barbarian for wanting to keep it real.<div><br /></div><div>Simulated sex crimes have recently reached their conceptual limit in AI-generated porn, and the normies dutifully oblige the simulated war with offerings of real casualties. Now there is a rush to criminalize this last bit along with the other fake nonsense <a href="https://petapixel.com/2023/04/27/canadian-man-jailed-for-creating-ai-child-porn-in-countrys-first-ever-case/" target="_blank">if it isn't criminal already</a>. Currently the news is full of titles like "<a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/20/europe/spain-deepfake-images-investigation-scli-intl/index.html" target="_blank">Outcry in Spain as artificial intelligence used to create fake naked images of underage girls</a>" -- and the normies gobble it up as a justification to make more real casualties out of men. The "scientific" journals are likewise full of deference to the simulation game, as one would imagine the corresponding "war studies" to be in <i>Star Trek</i>. Here's a fresh example: "<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10778012231203000" target="_blank">Experiences of Online Sexual Violence: Interviews With Swedish Teenage Girls in Psychiatric Care</a>," reifying this "violence" in a journal called <i>Violence Against Women</i>. The normies are so duped they don't even think about all this "violence" being completely simulated:</div><div><div></div><blockquote><div>The technological development of the internet and smart devices has in many ways been positive, but has also created more arenas where sexual violence can take place. In recent decades, research of sexual violence has expanded and now also consider online arenas (Jonsson et al., 2019; Svedin & Jonsson, 2017; Zetterstrom Dahlqvist & Gillander Gadin, 2018). The modi operandi for online sexual violence include, but are not limited to, repeated requests for nude pictures, dickpics, online publication of nude pictures, and unwanted sexual advances such as unwanted solicitation, online grooming, and online rape.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sexual violence is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, unwanted sexual comments or advances, or acts to traffic, or otherwise directed, against a person's sexuality using coercion, by any person regardless of their relationship to the victim, in any setting, including but not limited to home and work.” (WHO, 2012). It is regarded as a serious global public health problem, and can be perpetrated in different arenas, and in different modalities. In this article, we have used a broad definition of online sexual violence that includes a range of practices and events that have the common aspects of; being unwanted or perceived in a negative way by the subjected person; of a sexual nature; and perpetrated through some kind of digital media.</div><div><br /></div><div>The prevalence of online sexual violence depends on how it is conceptualized and the method of measurements. Online sexual harassment, which is defined as being subjected, via electronic means to, for example unwelcome sexual comments, jokes, or gestures, or being asked to do something sexual when one does not want to, is thought to affect around 15% of American teenagers (Copp et al., 2021). A specific kind of online sexual harassment that has become ubiquitous in the present time is receiving unrequested pictures of male genitals, the so-called dickpic (Ringrose et al., 2021). The prevalence of receiving a dickpic among youth is not extensively researched, but some research suggests that for women who had at one time received a consensual dickpic, 90% had also received unwanted dickpics (Marcotte et al., 2021).</div><div><br /></div><div>Another form of online sexual harassment is unwanted requests or pressure to send nudes, so-called pressurized sexting. This is often tightly interwoven with the practice of consensual sexting (Ringrose et al., 2013, 2022; Thomas, 2018; Thorburn et al., 2021). The prevalence of sexting was around 20% in a Swedish sample of youth from 2014 but this had increased to 37% by 2021 (Jonsson et al., 2014; Svedin et al., 2021). A meta-analysis of four studies from Canada, the US, Europe, and the Czech Republic found a prevalence of having one's sext furthered without consent was 8.4% (Madigan et al., 2018), something that some researchers propose should go under the label of image-based sexual abuse (McGlynn et al., 2017)</div><div><br /></div><div>There is also the case of more severe forms of online sexual violence, which is often referred to as online sexual abuse, or when the survivor is underaged: online child sexual abuse. The prevalence of online child sexual abuse among youth in a large community school sample in Sweden was around 0,5% (Svedin & Jonsson, 2017).</div></blockquote><div></div></div><div>It is bizarre that all this passes as "violence" -- exactly equivalent to having a simulated war with real casualties. And men who suffer from <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-implications-of-false-pretenses.html" target="_blank">wanker's delusion</a> dutifully play along, thinking they have gotten sexual value out of nothing.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Captain Kirk is powerfully wise in "A Taste of Armageddon." This type of "sanitized" war is a nightmare horror when you think about it for a while or see it dramatized in this great episode. That interplanetary war has been going on for almost 500 years, with millions of casualties every year. It could only go on for so long because they had found a way to spare the infrastructure and make death painless or hidden like we do with prisons to which men similarly report with little or no fight. People obey an ancient "treaty" which says we roll over without a fight based on a decision made by a simulation. Why the hell should we obey such a treaty or "social contract" as the normies probably would dignify it? The crew of the Enterprise does not hesitate for one second. It is instantly clear what your attitude should be to that treaty, and watching the episode is a powerful lesson not just in rationality but how humans can live morally with our violent natures. Kirk does not deny that we have war in our blood, but the direct way to go about it was not so bad after all when you consider the "woke" alternative. When the horrors of war are on full display, at least it provides an incentive to make peace from time to time.<br /><div><br />So, take a hint from Captain Kirk. Men must break the treaty which holds that we accept real punishment for imaginary crimes. If the feminists want war it must be a real war on both sides, not a one-sided one where men are real casualties for simulated crimes.</div></div></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-33636127703671413732023-08-16T20:17:00.013+02:002023-08-16T21:30:37.782+02:00A further absurdity to the persecution of Kandice Barber but a silver lining tooBeing sexually abused by sexiness. Nothing can be more conceptually retarded. It is the ultimate absurdity humanity ever came up with, the most bizarre and evil witch-hunt, the height of misogyny, and STILL I am the only protester <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3u6U-6hnFw" target="_blank">besides Bruce Rind</a>. Men are asleep, women are asleep, and feminism is a joke when it can't address the most absurd travesty against women (feminism is what got us into this mess).<br /><br />What is so unspeakably painful about this, besides the persecution of an innocent woman, is the absence of common sense, the absence of protest, the absence of a sane public voice besides Bruce Rind's and my own <a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Testimony:_Adult_Female_with_Minor" target="_blank">and Newgon's</a>. But we do have something akin to satire in the mainstream. It is sort of hidden between the lines, but <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/23490683/teacher-jailed-sex-pupil-prison/" target="_blank">this piece in <i>The Sun</i></a> is definitely lampooning the verdict against Kandice Barber for being too sexy for a 15-year-old boy and now too sexy for her new job too:<br /><div></div><blockquote><div>A TEACHER jailed for having sex with a 15-year-old pupil has allegedly been moved away from her post-prison job as a security guard - because she's "too distracting".</div><div><br /></div><div>Kandice Barber, 37, from Princess Risborough in Buckinghamshire, was jailed for six years and two months in 2021 after she was convicted of grooming the teen.</div><div><br /></div><div>The mum-of-three later worked as a gate guard at a building site in Hounslow, west London while on temporary release.</div><div><br /></div><div>But the Mail now reports that she has been moved from the job after distracting other workers.</div><div><br /></div><div>A builder told the newspaper: "She's attractive looking, so she's already proving a hit with the lads, who have no idea about her background.</div><div><br /></div><div>"It's no secret she's a massive flirt and lots of the staff there have already noticed her."</div></blockquote><div></div><div>Thanks to <i>The Sun</i> for doing their little part in mocking feminist antisex bigotry. <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/03/the-persecution-of-kandice-barber.html" target="_blank">I wrote about Kandice Barber myself back in 2021 too</a> and her case still profoundly upsets me, but this is at least some kind of balm. In times of insane witch-hunts we can find solace in satire if nothing else.</div><br />I realize that what compels me to rail against the female sex offender charade in particular is not so much the evil (which is pretty standard incarceration which regularly happens for bad reasons anyway) as the insane conceptualization behind perpetrating the evil. Had the authorities instead used for example a <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/11/laycase-and-battle-for-battle.html" target="_blank">"laycase" justification for persecuting sexuality</a> like Norway did centuries ago, it would just be run-of-the-mill senseless persecution that I could address along with the Sex War against men too. A world which conceptualizes the very same persecutions as laycase, which is an offense against God and the King rather than "sexual abuse" against a putative "victim," is a less insane world than the one we now inhabit. I lose faith in humanity because no one else reacts to the insane conceptualization, even if they don't care to stop the injustice, which is hardly ever to be expected anyway.<br /><br />This was the chief value of traditional religion as I see it: to reduce secular superstitions, to avoid poisoning our personal relationships with insane justifications for the authorities' control of sexuality. Since the justification for antisexual oppression was outsourced to a supernatural realm, people could have their feelings in peace. Love and lust are above "sin" and not corrupted by that concept in this world, unlike the feminist concept of sexual abuse. Instead of believing in God and perhaps at worst an unpleasant afterlife for sinners (who can be forgiven anyway unlike current sex offenders), <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2023/04/zombie-culture.html" target="_blank">we now believe in zombies</a>, people who act sexually but aren't really because this world doesn't count -- the flesh is now held to be the only life we got, but it is demoted to a less real realm than the Christians deemed it. Back when Christianity was the state religion rather than feminism, we didn't pretend women can "sexually abuse" boys at all, and certainly not by pleasantly seducing them. They also pretended much less fake sexual abuse for girls. The age of consent was something like 10 and didn't apply to female "offenders."<div><br /></div><div>History will judge our time as dominated by the religion of "sexual abuse," with its irrational belief in the metaphysical badness of sex for many bizarre reasons, chiefly among them that it inevitably corrupts minors and does so equally for boys and girls and by men and women including the most sexy ones -- a kind of transsexualist belief where we pretend there are no differences, which also had some additional nonsexual absurdities manifesting in our times <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/swimming/2022/06/19/lia-thomas-banned-competing-against-women-swimming-cracks-transgender/" target="_blank">which waned sooner</a> than the "sex abuse" superstitions. Future historians may or may not call it feminism like I am doing, but this will be the gist. I realize I am writing for that future rather than our own time when none of this can sink in because the religion of our times is literally that.</div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com96tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-35825934799450956522023-07-14T19:05:00.009+02:002023-07-14T22:39:44.463+02:00The metaphysics of online sexual abuseTo believers, a supernatural reality isn't metaphysics but simply real. In an animist world the extra beings are just there. Hence with this post I probably lost most people at the title already. Including men who share much of my politics or I otherwise sympathize with, because wankers suffer from the same delusion as the feminists, except in reverse because they see sexual gratification where feminists and normies see sexual exploitation. <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/12/uk/bbc-presenter-allegations-intl/index.html" target="_blank">Huw Edwards</a> is the most famously scandalous wanker at the moment. I certainly agree he did something scandalous or at least cringeworthy because think of all the sugarbaby fun you can have for £35,000, and he (allegedly) chose to buy nudes...<br /><br />But that's where my agreement stops. Just like to me the sun is just a star rather than a god, a nude photo of a teen girl is just a piece of information rather than any piece of a real goddess herself or sex with her. There is nothing magical about that information even though it depicts something extremely desirable. Girls cannot sexually satisfy men via images and they cannot be exploited that way either, because the medium cannot in principle convey sexual value. Just like staring at pictures of gold bars cannot in a million years make me any richer, a homeless person cannot improve his situation by looking at pictures of mansions, pictures of food cannot ever provide nutrition, and video of a rainstorm can't make me wet, porn cannot sexually satisfy, only waste efforts one should have spent on getting and having sex.<div><br /></div><div>Note that I am not denying that digital communication can convey intimacy. It is meaningful to talk to girls, but there is nothing about these "sexually explicit" pictures that the media and police obsess over that add anything to the relation. If anything they detract, since suspense and virility is lost when you see something you should have saved for meeting the girl. Hence it is laughable to preferentially crack down on "explicit" communication if you are going to crack down on such love affairs at all. By doing so you selectively hunt the men who are <i>least</i> likely to have sex, while leaving alone nofappers such as myself who talk to young girls with laser focus on meeting for sex. I marvel every time I ask a 16-year-old girl for a date this is legal and she can agree and sleep with me legally but if I asked for a nude, I would be in the same boat with Huw Edwards... Only sexually unambitious men ask for nudes, and ironically these are the men our society likes to hunt the most, for reasons that to a non-brainwashee are clearly metaphysical, because how else can the sight of a nude 16 or 17-year-old girl become criminal by the very fact of being a simulacrum rather than real life?<br /><br />As a society we truly believe in the metaphysics of online sexual exploitation and even "abuse." We believe it as surely as another culture might have worshiped a sun god. To me it is surreal and exasperating that the normies have lost lost the plot and are so sick in the head from my point of view. But I know there is nothing I can do to convince them, because this is not only a widespread superstition but a holy cow too. And if the past history of this blog is any indication, the comment section will be replete with antifeminists too repeating the same hogwash and saying wanking is good for us. Which I am SO close to banning now.<br /><br />We live in an animist world animated not by spirits and gods but sexual abuse. Sex abuse voodoo animates our computer networks to the point that the concept of private communications itself must be abolished by banning encryption, <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/europes-moral-crusader-lays-down-the-law-on-encryption/" target="_blank">for the sake of fighting this witchcraft</a>. "Sexual abuse" is our de facto religion, which has also colonized the digital realm with astonishing success. You can get 60 years in prison for looking at pictures, so sinister is digital information believed to be, when the metaphysical sex abuse woo is added to the mix. We no longer look to shamans to explain the sun, rather astrophysicists, but you betcha we consult shamans about digital files! They are just ones and zeros, 0101011001..., but there be sexualization there! Horror of horrors! The shamans -- NGOs and law enforcement and tech companies -- have their secret hashes to search for these evil spirits throughout our networks and computers, and such a hash alone, which looks something like 5E2E25F0D9ED464B79EBEFAFF97217A9A35A7FC8, when matched to a file transmitted to you, is enough to incriminate you. Thus we have reinvented a bizarre black magic and everyone thinks it is completely normal and compatible with the scientific worldview, because the new kind of animism has the same hold on our primitive brains as any old belief.<div><br /></div><div>It would be nice if we could think about sexual abuse in an evidence-based way much like we do with aviation and parts of medicine, but no, there is no hope of that in sight. We remain primitives in this area -- or whether we buy into the superstition individually or not are all ruled by primitive witch-doctors with high-tech tools like digital hashes and a prison-industrial complex to make them all that more harmful.</div></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com149tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-64540420420456948482023-05-25T00:00:00.001+02:002023-05-26T12:54:05.430+02:00"Norwegian Offspring" goes to CannesThe film <i>Norwegian Offspring</i> premieres <a href="https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/medialibrary/norwegian-offspring-by-marlene-emilie-lyngstad-trailer-2/" target="_blank">in Cannes</a> today (May 25th, 2023). It is the most sex-positive piece of mainstream-celebrated culture since... <i>Lolita</i> perhaps? In these works where a character expresses sexual views in disagreement with the mainstream there is a tension between the creator and the work which must be explained away through some sort of plausible deniability lest they be cancelled. Nabokov pleads unreliable narrator and art for art's sake, assuring us that Humbert does not speak for his own desires. Well, maybe not, or maybe the <i>author</i> is unreliable there? How else would he come up with such beautiful descriptions of taboo sexual enjoyment? Director Marlene Emilie Lyngstad on her part explains the sex-positivity away <a href="https://www.ekkofilm.dk/artikler/en-sexdukke-doemmer-ikke-nogen/" target="_blank">by attributing all such lines TO ME</a>:<div><div></div><blockquote><div><i>Mens Stein og Eivind er meget forskellige, er alle filmens replikker sagt af den virkelige mand, fortæller instruktøren.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>”Selvfølgelig har han en ideologi, som jeg synes er meget ubehagelig at høre om, fordi den er langt væk fra min egen,” siger Marlene Emilie Lyngstad.</i></div></blockquote><div></div><div>And I proudly stand for them. I proudly stand for the ideology. The plot is another matter, however; entirely the director's invention. I made a couple of videos with commentary:</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lVJ7nFnMMpk" width="320" youtube-src-id="lVJ7nFnMMpk"></iframe></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/51Jj6rDBYBM" width="320" youtube-src-id="51Jj6rDBYBM"></iframe></div><br /><div>Yeah, the character based on me is a wanker. He is impotent with a real, attractive woman and visits a sex doll "brothel." He does that and other stupid shit I would never do, but my ideology is preserved faithfully. See it as a work of art plus male sexualist ideology, not a story "about" me, because it fails at that spectacularly, or rather does not attempt to be so. This is the director's artistic vision, which is all fine by me of course since I don't mind anybody making the kind of art they want and I am above feeling insulted by a fictionalized character. But I would like to personally distance myself from the plot and his reactions because she obviously does not know how male sexuality works.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>The character "Stein" is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demisexuality" target="_blank">demisexual</a> who can only be aroused when there is deep emotional intimacy -- <i>not</i> with a random attractive woman who is giving herself to him. Marlene's notion of male sexuality is hilarious, but I am very proud and thankful to get my ideology across nonetheless in her movie. That's how it goes when a woman directs a movie about the male sex drive and fails to listen to male input about our natural and healthy reactions. But she didn't distort my ideology, so male sexualists and MAPs should be happy. Especially if the film can draw more people into our movements, so I welcome any and all publicity now.</div></div><div><div><br /></div><div>To hopefully spark a discussion with comments from an actual male point of view besides mine, what do you all think about the director's notion that men might visit a sex doll brothel to avoid having to "disgust" real sex workers? And how many male demisexuals are there, anyway? Do any men really get hard-ons for close emotional bonds sooner than attractive bodies? I think she is projecting... I think the movie shows us what men would be like if we didn't see women as "sex objects" the way they complain about us with that word.</div><div><br /></div><div>In reality, of course, we are mostly turned on by physical attractiveness, and we consider that admiration to be complimentary of them rather than degrading. It's great to have a deep emotional connection too, but I doubt it has much impact on erections. Ugliness (usually synonymous with old age) cannot turn into beauty (youth) via emotional bonding, and conversely if a man fails to respond to attractive, fertile-age females without knowing them well then he is dysfunctional, plain and simple. The diagnostic criteria for erectile dysfunction do not stipulate that one has to be monogamous or demisexual and it would be absurd to define all healthy masculinity as only functioning on such prudish female terms. Women can wish we weren’t like this all they want, but they can't change us and moreover it is a hateful condemnation of male nature that all men should vigorously oppose because it is by that standard we get all the oppressive, misandrist sex laws.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>A commenter asked me if I have allowed a feminist to completely parody my entire philosophy? But no, that's not what's going on, because this is so farcical that it's funny. And it's not complete parody because my direct quotes about the female sex offender charade and age of consent are NOT parodied, but rather foregrounded by the parody, which is too silly to take seriously by anybody but the most delusional feminists. Stein's sex-positive lines were improvised by me during rehearsals, written into the script and are spoken by the professional actor in earnest.</div><div><br /></div><div>I really do think Marlene ends up parodying feminism in the end, not me. I think the Men's Movement has won an aesthetic victory with this work, inadvertently to the director, because this feminist vision of how they think men are or ought to be is exposed as so unnatural and self-hating. I don't think most male viewers can identify with the narrow-minded version of male sexuality that feminists can accept, and if you want more objective proof just ask doctors how they diagnose erectile dysfuntion. The day they apply a demisexual standard to male erections, whereby we are supposed to experience no primary sexual attraction -- the type of attraction that is based on immediately observable characteristics such as a youthful appearance or smell and is experienced immediately upon a first encounter -- is the day masculinity has been officially abolished, not just demonized and criminalized as it is now.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, I don't want to be an impotent wanker like Stein. But neither do other men, and this is where Marlene Emilie Lyngstand and Emilie Koefoed Larsen, her fellow female scriptwriter, have miscalculated. Because other men don't want to be impotent wankers, either. They don't want to resort to sex dolls to save women the disgust of male sexuality. They don't think it's cool to be impotent in casual sex situations because it's supposedly more human to only feel arousal within committed relationships. LOL! No, that is only a female version of sexuality, and a near-asexual one at that (even the proud demisexuals place it on the asexuality spectrum).</div><div><br /></div><div>I dare you to correct me if I am wrong, but I think other men can't identify with Stein either as Marlene thinks he ought to be. The only question is, are they man enough to admit it in this context, or too afraid to be associated with me, a leper for speaking the truth about male sexuality? Will you sink so low as to embrace a clinically impotent "ideal" of masculinity in order to pander to the feminists?</div><div><br /></div><div>But enough with Stein for now; let's look at healthy masculinity. I conclude this post with some words of wisdom from the real me:</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_yv_upPISus" width="320" youtube-src-id="_yv_upPISus"></iframe></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com198tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-31987240324139414222023-04-29T16:11:00.000+02:002023-04-29T16:11:48.964+02:00Zombie cultureI would like to introduce a new rhetorical figure to our discourse against feminism. They have "rape culture," "toxic masculinity" and all sorts of insults that don't really mean much but get plenty of airtime. And what do we have? The only recent innovation I can think of is "agecuck," which is quite fitting for male feminists, but we lacked a more general term. "Zombie culture" is my new word for the entire mindset which invalidates sexual agency or claims to lack sexual desire themselves. Zombie culture encompasses both philosophical sexual zombies (which feminism claims minors are) and actual zombies (with regard to some feelings if not all: for example all sexual desire, formerly known as asexuals but now also including those who claim strong attraction to 18-year-olds but zero attraction to 17-year-olds).<br /><br />Philosophical zombies have heretofore populated the thought experiments of philosophers, who have been too distracted with the debate as to whether such creatures are metaphysically conceivable to notice that our culture already takes them for granted. The strictest definition of a philosophical zombie is a molecule-by-molecule replica of an adult human which functions identically except it lacks an internal subjective life. The transition between child and adult is held to be exactly this. All the molecules are the same, as is the behavior of a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old, yet we believe so strongly that the former lacks sexual subjectivity that the state wants to imprison you for "sexualizing" her if you should disagree!<br /><br />If this is not a belief in zombies, I don't know what is. It is a compulsory belief. Since it is risky to question it, I shan't flesh out the counterarguments so much here. But I think I have established that the term "zombie culture" is apt. The question then becomes, do we believe in zombies? Are you comfortable with being defined as one yourself when you are or were under 18? And then there is the other kind of zombie in zombie culture which deletes so much zest from our cultural heritage. One might stop and wonder if that is really cool, and hope not to get deplatformed just for raising the question.<br /><br />This post would have looked out of place a few decades ago when we had much the same laws but far less hysteria. Today, I am not exaggerating. This is what the normies literally believe, or so they claim. This is a zombie culture.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com62tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-16430200155542970842023-02-19T19:16:00.000+01:002023-02-19T19:16:05.867+01:00Time to (mostly) ditch GoogleSad news and a watershed moment for MRAs and sexualists. After 15 years of blogging, for the first time the feminists have managed to make Google take some action against this blog. Not quite censorship, not a claim that we did anything illegal or broke any rules for what can be published here, or even an "18+" type of restriction, but three of my blog posts have now been put behind a “sensitive content” warning which requires an extra click before you can read them. Today I received three emails like this:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4X7dehjlIHLXmF0OpKqA6WmrAWSYWcns6bt5Y1s_X9rpZHk98KXdIJ-Jze4j61eLMsQdkyxegFgxme6fHJtRJN8NIQNb8MpPjFcfMNEhsQP4KRxNgrhA1ZHJcEPsI-iFpreTuaonS9IG2GHOnUlAMWYzZo1JvXEOMDu3vIKYfFUvCLENPfw/s847/Sensitive%20content%20warning.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="847" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4X7dehjlIHLXmF0OpKqA6WmrAWSYWcns6bt5Y1s_X9rpZHk98KXdIJ-Jze4j61eLMsQdkyxegFgxme6fHJtRJN8NIQNb8MpPjFcfMNEhsQP4KRxNgrhA1ZHJcEPsI-iFpreTuaonS9IG2GHOnUlAMWYzZo1JvXEOMDu3vIKYfFUvCLENPfw/s16000/Sensitive%20content%20warning.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>One was for a silly early post of no consequence, but the two others hit nofap threads that I am fairly proud of and consider important: <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2019/08/anosognosia.html" target="_blank">Anosognosia</a> and <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2018/12/is-nofap-misogynistic.html" target="_blank">Is nofap misogynistic?</a> Even though it has done no real damage yet, the message is clear: Google is hostile and hateful to male sexuality and sexualism. We must therefore move elsewhere for our activism. Thanks to my current programming course it is piece of cake for me to make websites like this now, except the comments which require a backend that I haven’t learned yet (but will in the coming months) plus it would be difficult to deal with spam on my own even with advanced coding skills. I shall endeavor to at least make an archive and home for new essays elsewhere (by me and others such as Angry Harry, probably on my already registered domain mra-archive.com) while perhaps keeping comment threads going here, heavily moderated so we don’t get hidden behind “sensitive content” warnings or worse -- and please think before you write to make it easy for me! You can rest assured that new comment threads will eventually be archived along with the old ones at our new site too, so Blogger can’t permanently delete anything. If I manage to write some incredibly bland new blog posts, I will also post them here as long as my blog stays up. Nofap will be off-limits, though.</div><div><br />Nofap is the most hard-hitting sexualist measure available to men today, so I’m not so surprised this is targeted first. It may have been accidental, perhaps a result of using new AI to analyze all content, but this is definitely how intelligent feminists would attack us as a first priority: suppress nofap information from men to weaken male sexuality maximally, ensuring that most men have low sexual ambitions and exist in a state of near-impotence. The notion that porn is bad for you is heresy in a world governed by feminist antisex bigotry; so much so that I wouldn’t be surprised if they manage to memoryhole the entire nofap movement now that <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/06/rip-gary-wilson.html" target="_blank">Gary Wilson isn’t around to fight for it anymore</a> (that post didn't get flagged for some reason, nor did any of my overt MAP activist posts such as <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-wonderful-newgon.html" target="_blank">my praise of NEWGON</a>). No, they got their priorities straight alright. Intelligent feminists can’t let the public know that prominent MRAs/sexualists/MAPs are anything but porn-loving masturbators themselves, depriving us of the opportunity to be role models in the self-help department. To be clear, and at the risk of this post also getting a “sensitive content” warning, I practice nofap and recommend this for men who care about sex. You are frankly not taking sex seriously if you think masturbation is okay or watch porn. There I said it again, come hell or high waters for this post, but now let’s be bland from here and move our edgy content to where Google can’t touch it, trying to salvage what we can of legacy clicks. The main reason for sticking with Google was visibility anyway, which they have undermined enough with these warnings that I won’t feel like I’m missing out by switching to my own servers for new work.<br /><br />Comments are still open, including for discussion of this new situation, but please don’t make me stop your comment by saying anything “sensitive,” okay? Whatever that means, which I honestly don't know the boundaries of. It does feel a little anticlimactic if our whole movement gets silenced in the mainstream because we advise men not to masturbate, but this is serious and apparently some of our enemies are also getting smarter, or their AI tools are. It is meager results for the antis to only get this little nag screen after reporting almost everything I wrote over the years, but it is unacceptable for me to blog behind a content warning. This blog is for general audiences and seriously contains no sensitive, NSFW or any other content which can reasonably be restricted from everyday browsing. It is also a red flag for using Google for anything else, such as Gmail or work documents, because they appear to be losing their sanity, liable to restrict our content for unaccountable and sometimes bizarre reasons going forward. It is time to begin looking for alternatives now while the sanctions are relatively benign. These little warnings on a tiny part my blog don't qualify as evil yet and certainly don't compare to <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2022/12/elon-musk-is-bigot-and-liar.html" target="_blank">the vicious bigotry of Elon Musk</a>, but Google clearly cannot be trusted anymore.</div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com169tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-72507151043427151432022-12-05T14:05:00.002+01:002022-12-05T14:08:49.755+01:00Elon Musk is a bigot and liarWhen Elon Musk acquired Twitter and proclaimed himself a free speech absolutist who would offer a general amnesty to suspended accounts, I got hopeful that I would be let back on. The criteria were to be “provided they have not broken the law or engaged in egregious spam,” so it should be easy. Not only have I not broken the law, but my @fertiledating account was even suspended without Twitter citing a specific instance of my having broken the "Twitter rules." Though they will not tell me, I suspect the reason is I had just said 13-year-olds can consent, perhaps along with a determination based on the the entire account that I am a sincere and incorrigible advocate along those lines -- in a word, because I am a sexualist.<br /><br />However, Musk's promises proved to be deceptive. When I appealed my account suspension to the new management, all I got was a reply stating "Twitter reserves the right to permanently suspend accounts that violate the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service without further notice. This account is permanently suspended and will not be restored."<div><br /></div><div>So, Musk was outright lying. He will suspend accounts or keep them suspended "without further notice" or explanation, which is as far away from free speech absolutism as you can get. He is a tyrant who has also been known to ban people simply for making fun of himself.<br /><br />I believe that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YboiNaTDaPE&t=262s" target="_blank">Twitter should be nationalized</a>, perhaps even supernationalized and run by the UN, and truly function as a town square, where it would take a conviction in a court of law to have you removed, provided that you are willing to prove your identity and tweet openly as yourself as I have been doing. The bar should be the same as imprisonment or higher, preferably higher because speech is really a more fundamental right and prisoners as still allowed to make public statements. If anything should be removed, it should only be the specifically criminal tweets, not lifetime bans for arbitrary reasons like Twitter is doing now.<br /><br />Given that I have only been banned twice in thirteen years of active tweeting (and never on Google or YouTube for saying the exact same things), it should be obvious that my kind of rhetorics is relatively inoffensive even though I profoundly disagree with normie dogmas. Whether you get banned by leftist "woke" management for saying the things I do is hit or miss, which goes to show how extreme Elon Musk is for not giving me a second chance or even explanation at a time of supposed general amnesty. There is still the prospect of restoring my first account <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2019/04/it-was-clear-and-sunny-with-fresh.html" target="_blank">@eivindberge, which lasted ten years</a> up to 2019 and I haven't yet appealed, but I doubt it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I now feel extreme distaste for any Elon Musk product. I would never consider getting a Tesla or anything like that, and I hope he fails in all his endeavors. It is a tragedy for mankind that someone so evil gets to control so much resources. I hope Twitter goes bankrupt so we can start over, but I realize that anyone rich enough to run something like an Internet town square would probably be a tyrant, and even if they truly believe in free speech, the entire model of private ownership is flawed because advertisers would decide in the end. So we would need to try something more robust, like government of the people, by the people including courts of law at their best, which there is probably also no hope for anymore.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6Y4eTEwqTgo" width="320" youtube-src-id="6Y4eTEwqTgo"></iframe></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com175tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-13761117622959046932022-09-25T02:11:00.002+02:002022-09-25T02:16:20.944+02:00RIP Nathan LarsonThis requires its own post, because it marks the passing of a male sexualist hero. Take a moment to remember and appreciate a balanced activist life as summarized and vindicated in a <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2022/06/skepticism-vs-ideological-possession.html?showComment=1664056165748#c8905453134716731899" target="_blank">comment</a> I just received from "Jeffrey." And by balance I mean Nathan found ways <i>to live</i> in addition to being an ideologue for our cause.<div><br /></div><div><b>I've been informed that Nathan Larson died on Sunday September 18th, one day before his 42nd birthday. He'd been on a hunger strike for months and was being held in a prison hospital. I've not yet been able to confirm this news from official sources, but the person from whom it originates was a good friend of his and an administrator on his forum. This same person has just uploaded a 20-page handwritten manifesto by Nathan in which he explains why he chose to risk chose to risk so much to pursue a relationship with a young girl.</b></div><b><br />The manifesto begins with the following paragraph: "As the government seems to be putting forth a misleading narrative that I sought to sexually exploit a young girl using coercion or deception, I feel it is time to correct the record."<br /><br />Here is the link to the complete manifesto: <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/s/difrft7zf04jj8u/Nathan%20Larson%27s%20Manifesto.pdf?dl=0">http://www.dropbox.com/s/difrft7zf04jj8u/Nathan%20Larson%27s%20Manifesto.pdf?dl=0</a><br /><br />It's important to remember that Nathan was not quite the monster or psychopath that the media has made him out to be. Granted, he has posted fantasies on the internet that would make the Marquis de Sade smile, but those posts were not indicative of how he acted in real life. To quote his own words, "When people go over the top, there’s a grain of truth to what they say." (Source: <a href="https://archive.ph/UyO1F">https://archive.ph/UyO1F</a>).<br /><br />The girl that he "kidnapped" told one of her friends that she had fallen in love with him (source: <a href="http://archive.ph/AhMO2">http://archive.ph/AhMO2</a>), and there is no evidence whatsoever that he used coercion or threats to convince her to leave her parental home with him.<br /><br />Claims that he drove his ex-wife Augustine to suicide are highly doubtful, considering that she killed herself shortly after "Child Protective Services" removed her daughter from her custody indefinitely. It's much more likely that sadness about losing custody over her daughter is what motivated her suicide. In the end, both her and Nathan lost as a result of her misguided attempt to be granted sole custody. <br /><br />"Augustine took her own life on June 8, 2015, shortly after the Department of Human Services removed her child based on an anonymous tip claiming that she had mental health issues preventing her from safely caring for the child. Augustine denied this, but was unable to persuade the court to release the child from state custody. The child is currently in the care of August's parents." (Source: <a href="https://archive.ph/895bn">https://archive.ph/895bn</a>).<br /><br />Claims that Nathan violently raped Augustine also seem to be false. She had a rape kink and they had an agreed-upon safe-word. While Nathan has admitted that he ignored the safe-word on at least one occasion, it doesn't seem to be the case that he ever used physical violence against her. It took her weeks to decide that what happened was "rape."

We don't even need the old studies, because they never presented any real evidence to begin with. All we need is plain critical thinking the way it always should be applied to something new. Forget all the propaganda: just treat CSA as a new claim and see what happens. Angry Harry already made this point some twenty years ago when he came up with the idea of "<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/14fPPJzlRp6Bph1OOnWnC3asSivKg3gIu/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">tea abuse</a>." Suppose some people claimed that that having a parent who drank tea when they were children was a later cause of major depression, illness, suicide and psychological dysfunction. Do we need studies to refute this? No, skepticism is enough, at least until someone presents extraordinary evidence for the claim, with the burden of proof clearly resting on them.<br /><br />There are times when something new really is harmful. Leaded gasoline is a great example, which we luckily figured out and got rid of within 50-100 years, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV3dnLzthDA" target="_blank">really should have thought better of from the beginning</a> as it was hardly a secret that lead is toxic. Tea has been consumed long enough that we can rest easy though. And as to sex, we have <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1043276005002602" target="_blank">eons of experience</a> against feminist claims taken out of thin air in the past century alone with no evidence to back them up:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgstg-rEyeKJ_hXjbSCSQ-ZpVh51WdvKVGDcf4AaIIhPsOcybwTy_eRRGRdgR6MhWlGt7Pl5e5QHLSv1JlXL_esys_ppEr3UlQqQ663uN7p022iiNZZWg0hirlbltZnKcNXrg_FHyeXRGsbWhcymUjNeJVQRQ4XydqvZYOrMC75z92At5H4rA/s1029/Reproductive%20competence.jpg"><img border="0" height="384" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgstg-rEyeKJ_hXjbSCSQ-ZpVh51WdvKVGDcf4AaIIhPsOcybwTy_eRRGRdgR6MhWlGt7Pl5e5QHLSv1JlXL_esys_ppEr3UlQqQ663uN7p022iiNZZWg0hirlbltZnKcNXrg_FHyeXRGsbWhcymUjNeJVQRQ4XydqvZYOrMC75z92At5H4rA/w640-h384/Reproductive%20competence.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />We just need hard-nosed skepticism to refute the feminist claims of CSA. The fact that girls are evolved to reach full reproductive competence at 11-13 years of age (along with the psychosocial maturation necessary to function as an adult in a primitive society), and did so in the Old Stone Age as well as now (only interrupted by periods of poor nutrition in between), sets the bar of skepticism astronomically high to any claim that sex with teenagers is inherently abusive. That skepticism is lacking because of ideological possession, but it is nothing more than what a rational person would apply to either a newly discovered/reputed toxin such as tea or a supernatural claim. All we need to do is cut through the ideology and special-interest politics benefiting old hags and jealous parents and their entourage of parasites in the abuse industry -- in a word, feminism -- and all the "abuse" goes away too, retaining no more force than tea abuse. So what if society has gotten more complicated in other ways recently? You might as well claim we need a degree in quantum physics in order to not be traumatized by taking a shit, so removed from real biology and mentality is our contrivance of "child sexual abuse" -- nothing more than a superstitious excuse to punish whatever you want.<div><br /></div><div>Society is ideologically possessed as if by an evil antisex demon, and I as a man am only trying to defend ourselves against the mad injustice. Look at the ethereal nonsense "sexual abuse" has become, of both children and women and men too, a complete farce that puts the <i>Malleus Maleficarum</i> to shame in the bullshitting olympics of the ages. Look at the latest permutation of "rape" in the feminist state of Norway, which has lost literally ALL the substance traditionally associated with that concept and now consists of sheer nonsense, where perfectly willing girls are even "raped" by charging you money for sex, and the bigger the luxury prostitution the bigger the offense because offering a girl money is defined as a sort of violence used to get her to sleep with you (it is really bad game to pay girls so much, which as we can see makes them treat you like shit, plus he was a sometime wanker too, but he did nothing morally wrong and comes off as a role model on balance, finding ways to swim in premium pussy at the tender age of 19 when many of us were still incels). Supposedly 24 girls have been "raped" with exactly zero grounding in any real rape or abuse... One does wonder, do the normies really, REALLY read this and think OMG A HORRIBLE SERIAL RAPIST or are they able to see through the bullshit on some level and realize that this is just a ridiculously generous sugar daddy, even more silly because he is young enough to go on regular dates with these girls without raising an eyebrow?<div><h1 class="LwHwPIvj" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: var(--font-heading); font-size: var(--text-xl); font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight,700); line-height: var(--heading-line-height); margin-bottom: var(--space-xs); margin-top: 0px;"></h1><blockquote><h1 class="LwHwPIvj" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #2b2b2b; font-family: var(--font-heading); font-size: var(--text-xl); font-weight: var(--heading-font-weight,700); line-height: var(--heading-line-height); margin-bottom: var(--space-xs); margin-top: 0px;">Tiltale: Ung mann betalte unge jenter store beløp for voldtekter</h1><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p class="ZzFBEi6T" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--color-dark); font-family: Inter, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-line-height); margin-bottom: var(--space-xs); margin-top: 0px;">En ung mann fra Østfold er tiltalt for voldtekt av i alt 24 jenter. 13 av jentene skal ha fått betaling for overgrepene, hvorav én fikk 300.000 kroner.</p><p class="ZzFBEi6T" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--color-dark); font-family: Inter, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-line-height); margin-bottom: var(--space-xs); margin-top: 0px;">Mannen var i slutten av tenårene da han i løpet av et års tid mellom høsten 2019 og høsten 2020 skal ha gjennomført alle overgrepene.</p><p class="ZzFBEi6T" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--color-dark); font-family: Inter, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: var(--body-line-height); margin-bottom: var(--space-xs); margin-top: 0px;">Mannen fra Østfold er tiltalt for voldtekter av i alt 24 jenter under 18 år i løpet av denne perioden.

What passes as justice is indistinguishable from witch-doctoring, it <i>is</i> witch-doctoring, and no true believer is even going to read this post or anything else approaching a critical analysis of "sexual abuse" because they are so smug or complacent in their true belief that they think they don't have to. What's next, is holding hands and dancing with a 17-year-old sexual abuse too? Oh wait, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10949693/Married-female-teacher-tears-shes-guilty-kissing-dancing-17-year-old-pupil.html" target="_blank">that already happened</a>, astonishingly even pioneered by a female "offender" on male "victim," and people are immunized from speaking up because they are conditioned to view ALL of sexuality including all flirting and "grooming" and <a href="https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/news/9023467/teacher-sacked-pupils-pose-topless/">lack of humorless draconian "safeguarding"</a> and boys getting lucky with the slightest scrap of affection from women as abuse. Are you feeling uneasy yet if you followed those links and admitted a flash of consciousness, or still a normie? Normies cannot spot the intolerance because their mass psychosis dictates that all persecution of sexuality must be for good reasons, so I bet you don't feel it unless you are one of my regular readers or perhaps coming in from the <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-wonderful-newgon.html">MAP movement</a> who are our only extant kin.<div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">It hit me anew how isolated I am when my grandma died recently and because of the situation I didn't attend the funeral. How profoundly I don't belong, how I have severed all connection not just with society at large but my former family by my activism and the normie reaction to it (though I certainly still hope to start my own family!). As antisex bigotry marches on laying ever greater swathes of sexuality waste it strikes me that the only effect of our activism at this point is to destroy our own families too. They will feel the hate, but they won't pause to try to make sense of it from our point of view, coasting along in the smug conviction that feminism is always right and there can't possibly be anything wrong with the sex laws. When yesterday's sugar daddy is today's rapist, just to name the latest escalation which should shock the bejesus out of any decent person, they don't give a flying fuck about the redefinition of our normal sexuality into criminality, as if it has always been that way and there is nothing to see here. Sometimes I feel it is still worth doing activism just so our families can feel there is <i>something</i> wrong, even if they can't comprehend that it is not me who has gone insane. They will never allow themselves to hear a single rational argument, sticking exclusively to feminist propaganda, with <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/quol1khabknslru/Rind%202022%20-%20Reactions%20to%20Minor-Older%20and%20Minor-Peer%20Sex%20in%20Finnish%20survey.pdf?dl=0" target="_blank">journal articles by Rind et al.</a> also off limits and my blog at best relayed and distorted though the news media where it is simply dismissed as "extremism." They will only ever think that I am sick or at best ideologically possessed, even though it is society who is both and still on its way to ever more extreme feminism.</div></div></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I shall complete this post printing what I also wrote in Norwegian on Facebook about not going to my grandmother's funeral. For reference, this is the first post I wrote about my family's betrayal: "<a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2012/11/why-i-have-repudiated-my-family.html" target="_blank">Why I have repudiated my family</a>," which I now follow up with an update ten years later, the first notably sad consequence since I really did mean to go to that funeral and was even asked to be a pallbearer. But I didn't, and with that I lost the final gathering of that side of the family, which I hear was grand with lots of relatives coming in from Sogn and Sunnfjord to give her a worthy sendoff. It was the end of a whole generation, the one which experienced World War II. It was quite sad to miss the funeral, but at least it gave me the impetus to write this yet another futile attempt to explain that us sexualists are not doing it to be mean or anything like that, but because we are deeply morally convinced and intellectually sure of our activism. Rather than sick violent misogynists we are near-pacifist <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2019/09/we-are-conscientious-objectors.html" target="_blank">conscientious objectors</a> to a senseless antisex war which hurts us all, even if your only feel for it is that a family member no longer considers you family (and of course you care nothing about the men in prison).</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">***</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">I dag begraves min farmor, Dorthea Berge (født 1926). Jeg skal ikke i begravelsen. Jeg skulle gjerne gått i begravelsen, men naturligvis vil min far være der, og det ble for stressende. Jeg har unngått min far siden 2012 fordi han da samarbeidet med politiet mens jeg ble arrestert og fengslet for min mannsaktivisme. Og ikke på en naiv tilgivelig måte heller hvor man snakker godt om en person uten å vite at det er dumt å snakke med politiet i det hele tatt, men ondsinnet hvor han tok deres side og fortalte alt han visste i den tro at det kunne hjelpe til å få meg dømt. Det hadde slett ingen effekt da jeg ble blankt frifunnet av Gulating lagmannsrett, og saken til overmål var så grunnløs at jeg senere <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2016/11/the-verdict.html" target="_blank">fikk erstatning</a> for urettmessig straffeforfølgelse i en sivil sak som jeg reiste, men det var ikke takket være pappa at det endte godt for meg, som altså valgte purkejævelens side i straffesaken -- en avgjørelse han må leve og dø med, for det innebærer et endelig brudd, fra HANS side.</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Selvsagt, men jeg skal forklare hvorfor i tilfelle noen fremdeles ikke skjønner tegningen. Og han ser ikke ut til å forstå alvoret selv, da han nylig presterte å formidle gjennom NRK i "Gutter mot verden" at «det ikke var meningen å bryte kontakten» med meg. Det var et vanvittig flåsete utsagn som impliserer at jeg burde late som ingenting har skjedd og fremdeles ha kontakt. Det går naturligvis ikke, for hva ville det sagt om meg om jeg gikk med på det?</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Det ville være den ultimate ydmykelsen, en fraskrivelse av egen aktivisme som om jeg skulle "innrømme" at politiet hadde rett -- ikke bare i å ville dømme meg som de altså heller ikke hadde loven med seg på (uten at det hadde spilt noen rolle) -- men at feminismen har moralsk rett i å lage de sedelighetslovene vi har. Jeg er mannsaktivist på ære og samvittighet, eller det jeg nå kaller seksualist. Det er moralsk overbevisning det dreier seg om, samvittighetsnekt mot krigen mot seksualitet. Jeg blogget med overlegg og mente hvert ord jeg skrev, som er summen av all min livserfaring og nå altså har blitt postmeditert i ti år til uten at jeg har endret mening. Å late som ingenting har skjedd etter sviket fra familien vil være å "innrømme" at vi egentlig er på samme side og feminismen har rett. Det vil aldri skje fordi krigen mot seksualitet er en høyst reell konflikt og jeg er en av de få som kjemper på seksualiteten sin side.</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Å være seksualist kan sammenlignes med å reise tilbake til antikken og være mot slaveriet da ingen, ikke engang Jesus, hadde noen moralske motforestillinger mot å holde slaver. I den forstand er pappa et produkt av sin tid, hvor hele samfunnet nå mener at seksualiteten skal straffeforfølges maksimalt og det ikke er mulig å finne på en sedelighetslov som går for langt i hva den rammer, kort sagt at feminismen har alltid rett. MEN, at han tok politiet sin side kan ikke bortforklares så enkelt heller, for det er ikke noe man gjør mot familiemedlemmer, full stopp. Han ville aldri gjort det mot de andre barna, uansett hva de var anklaget for (og jeg var altså bare anklaget for blogging som ble hevdet å være oppvigling men slett ikke var det heller i lovens forstand). Det blir gaslighting å late som denne normen ikke eksisterer heller, noe den gjør ikke bare i og med at han fikk klar beskjed i avhør om at han ikke hadde plikt til å si noe som helst (som ingen har til politiet, men forskjellen er at retten ikke tvinge deg til å vitne heller), men at terrorlovgivningen til og med inneholder et unntak for straff for familiemedlemmer som skjuler en terrorist etter de verste terroranslag (<a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28/KAPITTEL_2-3#%C2%A7137" target="_blank">§ 137</a>), langt, langt verre enn blogging.</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hvis jeg skulle kunne forsone meg med hva han gjorde... Hva ville det si om forskjellen på mine søsken og meg? Det ville si at jeg ikke fortjener den lojaliteten som normale mennesker har til sine familiemedlemmer, og dette skal jeg liksom akseptere? Det vil være en selvutsletting av hele mitt menneskeverd. Det ville sagt at jeg ikke HAR noen venner, og enda verre (da han også mente jeg var "syk"), ikke har evnen til å ta moralske valg, som altså skal overprøves av politi og rettsvesen, til syvende og sist med mitt samtykke om jeg hadde gitt avkall på at det var noen reell konflikt mellom pappa og meg. Det er evnen til å ta moralske valg som definerer en person. Det er det som skiller oss fra dyrene. Hvis ikke mine meninger blir tatt på moralsk alvor og jeg skulle akseptere det så har jeg gitt avkall på menneskeverd, og det er ikke aktuelt. Mennesker holdes ansvarlig på godt og vondt, og hvis du mener jeg er ond så må du innse at det er en reell konflikt, ikke tro du kan "rette" på min moral med annet enn ikkevoldelige argumenter.</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Menmen, jeg fikk besøkt farmor på kort tid før hun døde, og det får være nok. Hun var 96 år og har vært dement de ti siste. Det var absolutt hennes tid, men trist at familien ikke går overens nok til jeg kan gå i begravelsen. Enda et vondt resultat av feminismen. Det koker ned til at pappa og jeg har verdier som helt grunnleggende ikke går overens, da han er feminist (eller normie, som nå er det samme) og jeg er seksualist. Det går an å være politisk uenig i en familie, men ikke bruke vold til å tvinge meninger på andre, som han altså prøvde seg på da han samarbeidet med politiet. Om det skulle lykkes så ville det endt som i <i>1984</i> eller snarere filmen <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLynM-GI_Mk" target="_blank">Brazil</a></i>... Det ville ikke vært noe igjen av meg, for en slik hjernevasking kan bare utføres over mitt lik. Du kan ikke trylle frem en Eivind som ikke mener meningene sine og heller blir feminist, for den personen eksisterer ikke, samme hvor mye makt du bruker.</div><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFnYgCMVbmFggVLgfXqBwBQcDzlfpu-hEuvaayxZaHhajhNPwXHWXtUEIm6fq-3sjVcYBY8KvJQh4rAr57QGB1Kc_7A1SK8zR0KmCVRClrRggbPJkW8VDcPO7th4k3qzZZ6SCd7hSmZtojHK-y2GHYxtCLUPS7TpGWHCvueJRIkCH-XM1KRw/s2592/D%C3%B8dsannonse.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="1296" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFnYgCMVbmFggVLgfXqBwBQcDzlfpu-hEuvaayxZaHhajhNPwXHWXtUEIm6fq-3sjVcYBY8KvJQh4rAr57QGB1Kc_7A1SK8zR0KmCVRClrRggbPJkW8VDcPO7th4k3qzZZ6SCd7hSmZtojHK-y2GHYxtCLUPS7TpGWHCvueJRIkCH-XM1KRw/w200-h400/D%C3%B8dsannonse.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div itemprop="articleBody" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></div></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com146tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-69005437170385759072022-06-18T02:47:00.003+02:002023-05-09T23:03:50.679+02:00The wonderful NewgonThe meaning of words change over time; only dead languages stay the same. I am old enough to have seen my type of activism go through several names, from <b>antifeminism</b> in the 1990s to <b>men's rights activism (MRA)</b> in the 2000s to <b>male sexualism</b> in the 2010s to <b>MAP activism</b> in the 2020s. Yes, "MAP" has grown on me despite my earlier misgivings about using a special word to denote normal sexuality. <b>YesMAP</b> as opposed to NOMAP, obviously, since we have absolutely no affiliation with the anti-contact crowd. I am not ashamed of the MAP label because I acknowledge that language is evolving and if someone carries forth your activism under an unfamiliar or superfluous name then we should focus on the politics rather than the lingo and be thankful.<br /><br />I am thankful for <a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Main_Page">Newgon</a> because they ensure that our activism lives on regardless of what happens to this little clique over which I sometimes style myself as leader with varying degrees of seriousness. In truth, we are almost irrelevant, but Newgon is a serious organization. Just look at their page on the female sex offender charade! I could scarcely have done it better myself:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Testimony:_Adult_Female_with_Minor" target="_blank">https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Testimony:_Adult_Female_with_Minor</a><br /><br />Kudos and praise to high heavens! We are not alone! We have kindred activists out there whose ideology if not precisely identical at least overlaps a good 90% with what we used to call the Men's Rights Movement back in the days of Angry Harry and now refer to as male sexualism here on my blog -- or just sexualism is really what I have landed on. I say 90% because they don't seem to be on board with nofap, but you can't have everything. The Newgon site is much more impressive than it looks at first sight, archiving all kinds of sex-positive writings that may otherwise get lost, and even better, I know the people behind it are solid, enthusiastic activists. So even though I don't expect us to make much political progress any time soon, I can rest assured that sexualism is in good hands irrespective of my own efforts. Long live sexualism as (mostly) synonymous with MAP activism! I still prefer "sexualism" and use that in my own writings, but I warmly welcome our new allies, regardless of how they want to style themselves.<div><br /></div><div>Perhaps we should reflect a little over the linguistic shift from antifeminist to MAP. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes because feminism is now synonymous with the culture in which we unfortunately find ourselves. The normies are feminists without using that word, which is now reserved for only the most newly extreme antisex bigots who probably want to raise the age of consent to 25 at this point and change the definition of rape to all sex without a consent document signed every five seconds. A normie who thinks it is wrong to have sex with minors under 18 does not usually identify as a feminist, even though his ideology is radfem by 1990s standards. He simply does not know how bigoted he is because feminist indoctrination has been so successful at normalizing their hateful criminalization, even instituting the most extreme jurisdictions (typically California) as the norm for the entire world. As such, calling ourselves antifeminists would hardly be intelligible to this society as it would not even begin to describe to them how radical we are. "MRA" doesn't get the point across either since the ones still known under that label are busy celebrating 1990s feminism and applying it to men too. That leaves us with sexualist -- which is a fine word for all resistance to oppression of sexuality, but not in common use -- and MAP, which has actually gone mainstream, at least as a word and identity if not a serious challenge to laws yet.</div><div><br /></div><div>So, here we are. Lest anyone think I am aligning myself with child abusers, have a look at Newgon's <a href="https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Ethos_of_Newgon" target="_blank">ethos page</a>:</div><div><blockquote><h4 style="line-height: 1.6; margin: 0.3em 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0.5em;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Elective_12_is_our_(non-binding)_Age_of_Consent_position"><span style="font-family: Segoe UI;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Elective 12 is our (non-binding) Age of Consent position</span></span></span></h4><p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em 0px;">The best available evidence supports the idea of an <i>elective-emancipation</i> system for young people aged 12 and up.

With respect to adults and emancipated minors, this will include legal consent to physical/sexual relations. Other important rights may be included, however, we will not campaign on most of these issues until there are signs of an emerging policy consensus:</p><div style="background-color: white; color: #202122; column-count: 2; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><ul style="list-style-image: url("/wiki/skins/Vector/resources/common/images/bullet-icon.svg?d4515"); margin: 0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em; padding: 0px;"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Education</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Employment, inc. military</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Finance</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Driving a motor vehicle</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Alcohol, substances, gambling, body modifications and medical</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Graphic media content bars</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">Voting (this might be dependent upon the above)</li></ul></div><p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em 0px;">We propose that emancipation will be the <i>choice of the young person</i>, assuming they can be assessed by a doctor as mentally competent - broadly in line with their peers. With respect to sexual relations, the age of 12 is identical to the system employed in the Netherlands up until very recently. However, allowing young people to <i>self emancipate</i> gives them the power to choose what aspects of their lives they will be responsible for. Various controlled outcome studies will be conducted by social scientists after these changes are put into effect, creating more jobs.</p></blockquote><p style="background-color: white; color: #202122; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0.5em 0px;"></p>Not sure I agree with those other areas or the passport model, but it is a refreshing position in this day and age and close enough to our own ideology as to be almost indistinguishable. If anything, they are more moderate than us. I would also say that an age of consent of 12 is non-binding but at least as low as 13 is definitely binding to be called a male sexualist, along with a complete rejection of the female sex offender charade as equally nonsensical as criminalizing witchcraft -- and I do not care how this is received, because my conscience does not permit me to condone the persecution of harmless women. As you can see, neither Newgon or us are currently trying to normalize actual pedophilia in men, but we do not care what the public calls our eminently sensible positions on male sexuality either.</div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-5804090604134911812022-04-30T14:52:00.007+02:002022-04-30T15:16:23.201+02:00The persecution of Katie SmithI am interested in how the female sex offender charade got tacked onto the rest of the antisex hysteria without debate.

The latest victim in the news is Katie Elizabeth Smith:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10741409/Shocking-new-details-glamorous-PE-teachers-sex-affair-14-year-old-boy-freed.html">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10741409/Shocking-new-details-glamorous-PE-teachers-sex-affair-14-year-old-boy-freed.html</a><br /><br /><i>Shocking details have emerged of how a glamorous PE teacher groomed a 14-year-old school boy with Snapchat sexts - as she walks free from prison after almost 18 months.</i><br /><br />It is not the details that are shocking, you morons in the media, but the feminist police state's reaction to them!<br /><br /><i>Katie Elizabeth Smith, 30, bombarded the teenager with sexually explicit messages and sexual videos and photos while teaching at a NSW Hunter Valley school.<br /><br />Smith also fondled and touched him but was later convicted and jailed after her attempt to blame the affair on the child failed to convince police. <br /><br />It can now be revealed that Smith urged him to stay silent and warned he would get 'into trouble' with law enforcement if he didn't do as she said. <br /><br />During their months-long dalliance, Smith lured the boy to a storeroom where they kissed as she placed her hand onto his school shorts. <br /><br />They met in a car park where she touched his genitals, the Court of Criminal Appeal heard this week. <br /><br />The boy then returned to class and during their affair sent Smith three photos of his private parts, one of himself naked and and one video of himself naked or engaging in a sexual act.The then 26-year-old teacher responded with five intimate photos of herself and two videos of herself, including one of her performing a sex act. <br /><br />Multiple sexual images were exchanged between the boy and Smith over at least five months.<br /> <br />The details of how the illegal affair rapidly accelerated days after the schoolboy added Smith to his Snapchat account in late 2018 have now been laid bare after she successfully appealed her sentence.<br /><br />Smith, who sobbed uncontrollably in the dock in 2020 when a judge sent her away for a maximum three years and ten months jail, has had 18 months slashed off her sentence.</i><div><i><b><br /></b></i></div><div>How is it possible to conceptualize this as a harmful situation for the boy and think punishment is appropriate? (To their credit, the Daily Mail does not call it abuse, merely illegal, but they don't object to the criminality either.)<br /><br />Is it similar to how <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/04/29/asia/china-beijing-covid-notebook-selina-wang-intl-hnk-dst/index.html" target="_blank">China seems willing to commit suicide over a commitment to zero covid</a>? Not on the face of it, since covid is a bad thing unlike sex. Illness is worth avoiding; you just need to be proportionate about the measures taken. But if we ignore how the female sex offender charade made zero sense from the beginning, perhaps society's implementation of it is comparable. We blindly follow rules to achieve simplistic goals, whether it be zero tolerance to covid or the "absolute prohibition on sexual activity with a child" that this sentencing judge clings to even when she can see it leads to absurd verdicts. Corrective mechanisms are sorely, sadly lacking, in China perhaps because the state is too authoritarian.<br /><br />In our case, pathological deference to authority is a major factor too, and we have less excuses about threats of violence for not conforming ideologically. We could end the female sex offender charade if enough people pointed out that the emperor has no clothes. Look, I am not arrested for publishing this. I am not even censored, and experience zero social discomfort, not for the <i>female</i> sex offender charade at any rate! Because there is literally nothing to it -- nothing to sustain it besides a flimsy delusion that people snap out of when they are made to think twice. It is a paper tiger sustained by a trance. All it takes is to make people think, and it shatters at least to where only grift remains. You can do it too, simply say you don't believe in it! And then we refuse to cooperate with the persecution. Be <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2019/09/we-are-conscientious-objectors.html" target="_blank">conscientious objectors</a> to the war on sex. We can do it! It's all about the mindset because the thugs in law enforcement are nothing without our superstition. They feed on superstition to do their evil. They need our consent, which is grounded in delusions that can be changed by thought. So, think!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Society is dreaming that female sexuality is harmful, but it does not believe it. We are in a collective dream state. Dreaming is the suspension of disbelief. We've all been there -- one second before waking up still believing wildly untrue things because they are part of the dream. All it takes is the blink of an eye and reality snaps into view. Women "sexually abusing" boys is exactly like that. A conceptual nightmare where feminist theory has replaced reality. The dreamer cannot see the truth, but all it takes is to wake up.</div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com201tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-77377030369374010552022-03-29T02:55:00.011+02:002022-03-29T05:02:16.046+02:00The Ukraine postAs awful as it is, the current situation of war in Europe and looming World War III lifts my spirit because I have lived with an unrecognized war my whole life and now the normies get to taste their own medicine. It really helps to normalize my feelings about cops when the average person feels the same way about Russian soldiers and even has explicit <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/exclusive-facebook-instagram-temporarily-allow-calls-violence-against-russians-2022-03-10/" target="_blank">permission to incite</a> on social media. Welcome to the warrior club which is really just the human condition anyway. Because I am a man, my sexuality is criminal by feminist laws, and because I am an activist I am acutely aware of that fact. The normies believe their war on sex is not a war because it is just something one does, like human sacrifice or slavery in other times was perceived as similarly apolitical: so successful has feminism become. <br /><br />Wars of aggression used to be normal too, and I agree it is more civilized to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_aggression" target="_blank">regard them as crimes</a>. The war on victimless sex is a war of aggression which is now completely socially acceptable, however. When someone like Virginia Guiffre employs the violence of the state to loot Prince Andrew, she is applauded like one might applaud the Vikings for marauding or the Roman empire for expanding, if one lived in their times. Victims of the sex laws are afforded exactly zero sympathy no matter what happens to them, be it death like Epstein or looting or anything in between. <br /><br />I sympathize with victims of wars of aggression INCLUDING the war on sex. I do not share this supposedly civilized society’s blind spot or excuse of fake sexual abuse to justify war. To me that carries just as much weight as any old “reason” to conquer another peaceful group and steal their resources. The feminists might as well state their laws are to provide Lebensraum for women for all I care, because that’s how I read them anyway. Society has no inhibitions: whatever a woman gains by sexual accusations no matter how empty and no matter what a man loses, she is always celebrated and society always screams for more. Individual verdicts are sometimes overturned or reduced on appeal, but the trend towards ever more criminalization of sexuality shows no sign of abating. <br /><br />I do stand with Ukraine, but in the proper perspective as equal victims to so many men (and some women) whom society does not regard as victims at all. Feminism is about destroying our lives, and their preferred method being a slow death by prison rather than a quick bullet or bomb only makes it more odious, if anything. And I realize that feminism is unlikely to go away without a cataclysmic crisis. Therefore, I welcome World War III as much as I fear it. COVID was not strong enough to slow the pace of antisexual legislation anywhere in the world, but now at least Ukraine is facing a greater priority. If that is what it takes, who am I to complain? Most of us will probably not personally benefit from the downfall of feminism, but we get to die as men rather than caged animals. <br /><br />In a nutshell, Putin knew his economy was in trouble, but the thought he still had a strong military that could be leveraged. With a pretext of NATO expansion in the mix, he went ahead and staked the country on Plan Z. One month in, it can be summed up as a war of attrition which will either destroy the Russian Federation along with more or less of Ukraine or us all too if it escalates. There is no off-ramp in sight and I have no idea how it will end except I don’t think Ukraine can lose and I don’t think Russia can win.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com60tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-32878141454255480062022-02-09T07:17:00.005+01:002022-02-09T07:29:02.620+01:00A serious talk about consentLet's leave the nonsense about brain development and other red herrings to the normies and have a serious chat about consent. And let's do so from a male perspective rather than an imitated feminist perspective like <a href="https://avoiceformen.com/" target="_blank">fake MRAs</a> do. You see, there are some things where consent really matters and is impossible. They are not what the feminists claim, and feminist reasons applied to boys are also gibberish. The real things males can't properly consent to are <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_trap">evolutionary traps</a>.<br /><br />Specifically, <b>men cannot consent to masturbating to pornography</b>. It is also dubious whether men can consent to birth control or abortion for the same reasons, but I will leave those subjects to another day and make this another nofap post in a faint attempt to pick up the torch after <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/06/rip-gary-wilson.html" target="_blank">Gary Wilson</a>.<br /><br />Men cannot consent to porn because our brains never develop sufficiently to handle it properly because evolution hasn't taken it into account yet. We may be adapted to pornographic cave paintings (by not finding them very arousing), but not the modern digital kind which has only been around for a couple generations. From Wikipedia:<br /><br /><div></div><blockquote><div>Within behavioral and ecological sciences, evolutionary traps occur when rapid environmental change triggers organisms to make maladaptive behavioral decisions. While these traps may take place within any type of behavioral context (e.g. mate selection, navigation, nest-site selection), the most empirically and theoretically well-understood type of evolutionary trap is the ecological trap which represents maladaptive habitat selection behavior.</div><div><br /></div><div>Witherington demonstrates an interesting case of a "navigational trap". Over evolutionary time, hatchling sea turtles have evolved the tendency to migrate toward the light of the moon upon emerging from their sand nests. However, in the modern world, this has resulted in them tending to orient towards bright beach-front lighting, which is a more intense light source than the moon. <b>As a result, the hatchlings migrate up the beach and away from the ocean where they exhaust themselves, desiccate and die either as a result of exhaustion, dehydration or predation</b>.</div></blockquote><div></div><br />Sea turtles can consent to the light of the moon, but not the lights of modern human civilization. In order for sea turtles to be able to consent to city lights, they would have to keep evolving for however long it takes to be cognizant of the true fitness values involved. Similarly, human males cannot consent to digital pornography, which are another kind of modern lights leading individuals systematically astray to desiccate and die childless, even suffer <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2020/06/the-implications-of-false-pretenses.html" target="_blank">predation</a> along the way from the feminist police state.<br /><br />This is a true meaning of consent, unlike the mumbo-jumbo promoted by our gynocentric culture. We also arguably can't consent to gambling and hard addictive drugs for similar reasons. We can debate whether we still want to permit some of these things (and certainly prohibition can easily do more harm than good, as we have seen with the war on drugs), but the case against them can't be dismissed so easily, which can be summed up as an inability to consent.<div><br /></div><div>So please, let's quit obsessing over fake cases of invalid consent like those mocked in this excellent meme and pay attention to what matters.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhyz2Jp0d3jeR-RkUeMr2roLp60eua2NAa6WcbraolDKeQf-WxAT4c5Yf_tr9EK4jKGbbL5M6Mc1tXn33KRKBAOLGs6mDUa52hheCo6YbaeKVUmx7SVZNyNFqYS5J60HgnDOCh4Laz2yRLeg0Kb9Frihj_Ek8ueyFxUFc3n2C8ik3acAH7DAA=s1080" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhyz2Jp0d3jeR-RkUeMr2roLp60eua2NAa6WcbraolDKeQf-WxAT4c5Yf_tr9EK4jKGbbL5M6Mc1tXn33KRKBAOLGs6mDUa52hheCo6YbaeKVUmx7SVZNyNFqYS5J60HgnDOCh4Laz2yRLeg0Kb9Frihj_Ek8ueyFxUFc3n2C8ik3acAH7DAA=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com68tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-22637724016658719542022-01-02T01:56:00.001+01:002022-01-02T07:28:46.031+01:00Wolf, wolfSo I was on a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/NATTSKIFTETDIREKTE/featured" target="_blank">podcast</a> last night and an audience member made a false accusation to the police live because they didn't like my opinion that the age of consent needs to be lowered to 13: <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgtFeV2GeDeAUGs2JRC8M8-iOB-G5hwfkjKJiezwTgJ55NKViamEXSEDYvSpZ0oNpWsaPknkJMz7mAYQhY7UadHK8QCt0AM33U8RSUVlJJDbNghB-OmIMePtLatjnkTnU1c5-ZQLJfe9U1QvFId1fqmMR4BerESBFX_halkwiTltijOlTvtPQ=s1595" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="916" data-original-width="1595" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgtFeV2GeDeAUGs2JRC8M8-iOB-G5hwfkjKJiezwTgJ55NKViamEXSEDYvSpZ0oNpWsaPknkJMz7mAYQhY7UadHK8QCt0AM33U8RSUVlJJDbNghB-OmIMePtLatjnkTnU1c5-ZQLJfe9U1QvFId1fqmMR4BerESBFX_halkwiTltijOlTvtPQ=s320" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div>I don't know what this bigot wrote in their police tip, whether they simply referenced the YouTube video or made up some lies.

What they did to Ghislaine Maxwell they did to me. Because I am a man, and these convicts represent normal male and female sexuality. All the credible accusations were <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2020/08/why-are-empty-accusations-compelling.html" target="_blank">empty</a>. It is as normal for us to buy sex from teen girls as it is for the girls to sell it. The feminist state are monsters and all the normies who condone this senseless criminalization are monsters too. <br /><br />If Epstein was a “pedophile” or “sexual abuser” then I would be insulted if you don’t have me pegged as one too, as should all normal men be. That word is a badge of honor the way the antisex bigots use it. Just imagine how perverted you’d have to be to not be attracted to the girls in question (or gay, but they aren’t naturally agecucks either), the youngest of which was 14. In truth, what Epstein was accused of does not even qualify as “ephebophilia,” which ends by 14 years old for most girls. And I don’t think we need that word either because that is just normal male sexuality too, but it goes to show how far out of touch the bigots are with scientific and commonsense truth of what constitutes full sexual maturity (<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11P27K0IC-A-8EhY0MKVDjXjXOQgxC5iY/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Exhibit1</a>, <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/11NnCGqQ7fC40lWGbA3qkV0a2-XXagzK2/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Exhibit2</a>).<br /><br />What they did to Epstein they did to me, and all normal men. He is the patron saint of regular male sexuality, and Ghislaine Maxwell is another martyr for sexualism, another victim of the feminist War on Sex who deserves honors for fighting the good fight on a political level too by virtue of all the unmistakably regular men she implicated. There comes a point when you can’t peg us as deviants anymore because we are so obviously normal, and meanwhile we shall be proud of our sexuality no matter how much you try to shame us. Your stance on this verdict is a litmus test on whether you are a good person or a monster.<br /><br />Jeffrey is my <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2019/08/we-need-better-role-models.html" target="_blank">role model</a>, my hero, and Ghislaine is a heroine. The normies secretly long to be in Epstein’s circle, but we male sexualists have the balls to admit it. To all the normies reading this, now is a good chance to repent your denunciation of sexuality and identify as a male sexualist, or simply sexualist because as we can see, feminism persecutes good women too.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-74560976297454409342021-11-20T05:09:00.029+01:002021-12-12T12:07:24.427+01:00Laycase and the battle for the battleFeminism is horrifying. Absolutely horrifying because it translates into violence against us for our sexuality. And I am just about the only one who can feel the horror even when not imprisoned myself. Must it be thus? Perhaps it helps to study similar criminalization on pretexts that are no longer current beliefs. To realize the horrifying truth that there is no social upheaval even if they criminalize most of sexuality and no matter how draconian punishments get, look at <a href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leierm%C3%A5l" target="_blank"><i>leiermål</i></a>. So why should it be any better now? It isn’t, and we can’t expect it. People simply put up with it. The authorities just need to base their laws on the superstitions of the times, and no one will rebel. Back then it was the wrath of God, now feminist notions of rape and abuse are used to accomplish the same prohibitions. People are no more enlightened, just in thrall to different superstitions. It doesn’t fly to punish the lack of a marriage certificate anymore, but to say that one person is “underage” works wonders. People believe this gibberish like they believed the old crap. And so on for an endless series of taboos to suit every occasion. All involved are adults but one is a teacher? Lock her up! He paid for sex? Lock him up! And of course every occasion is “rape” if the woman or prosecutors say so. All of sexuality is criminalized and I am the only one who is horrified, along with a handful of other male sexualists and our allies the MAPs. <br /><br />We have gone from believing in the badness of sex because a supernatural power disapproves to believing in the metaphysical badness of sex itself. The only passable justification for criminalizing sex these days is that somebody is a “victim,” but once you invent a victim there is no limit to how far it can be contrived, up to an including blasphemical information that is solemnly prosecuted as if there is any substance to it.<br /><br />Our sexualist activism is like going back to the ancient world to preach abolitionism. It didn’t even occur to Jesus that slavery was wrong, and similarly no “good” people today see anything wrong with the persecution of sexuality. Such is the enormity of our task. Before we can fight the battle, we need to fight <a href="https://sci-hub.se/10.1300/j082v37n02_01" target="_blank">the battle for the battle</a>. The battle for the battle is to make people understand that there is a war on sexuality, that persecuting sex is not inevitable like death and taxes. This is the stage we are at: our battle isn’t even recognized because the normies are in lockstep agreement that sexuality must be persecuted to the max. I am not just an enemy of the state: I am an enemy whose enmity can’t be acknowledged as anything more than crime and craziness because the war on sex is not seen as a war. Politics is simply a contest about who can come up with the most hateful sex laws, with left and right outbidding each other with new ways to lock up more people for more and more sexuality. As long as they can make up some story related to a “victim,” persecution is never opposed in the mainstream. Even most prisoners and sex offender registrants don’t see themselves as enemies of the state because the persecution is so normalized. But what if the public could snap out of the fake victim narrative? In theory, that would help because people don’t believe in religious justifications anymore. Perhaps then they can realize that feminism is the same shit as <i>leiermål</i> in a different wrapping, and more malignant because there isn’t even the slightest exception to the persecution like marriage used to be. Now they just persecute all sexuality indiscriminately. <br /><br />We need a word like “leiermål” to make sex offenders see themselves as enemies of the state and get everyone to realize there is war on sex going on. A word that obviously means “sex criminalized for the hell of it” or to the benefit of our rulers. Don’t let them make us call it rape and abuse when it isn’t. Coin an English word with the same valence as <i>leiermål</i> and use it to undermine the feminist agenda. (And in Norwegian we can just start saying “leiermål” again, of course.) Let us pull the fake moral rug out of their language with an honest word for their criminalization of sexuality. Suggestions? Perhaps something like “laycase”? ”Sexual misconduct” is already just as meaningless, as is “statutory rape,” but we need something more catchy, one short word which flows well in common usage.<br /><br />By all accounts the normies were less enthusiastic about criminalization back then. Sex offenders weren't stigmatized. Although it wasn't enough for rebellion, surely it must have helped turn people against the laws that the word so clearly signified oppression rather than the fake victimology our oppressors use these days.<br /><br />Now I am going to translate and paraphrase some of the Wikipedia article on <i>leiermål</i> to get a flavor of what we are talking about. But we might as well be quoting current laws, because they are practically identical apart from the justification.<br /><br /><i>Leiermål</i> (from Danish words for lay/intercourse + case) is a bureaucratic (legal and ecclesiastical) term which was used for various kinds of sexual relations outside of marriage. Laycase was especially impactful for women and men of all ages and social classes i Scandinavia in the 1600s and 1700s because of new laws and draconian punishments that were introduced at the time.<br /><br />Laycase was considered a crime and usually discovered when resulting in pregnancy, but pregnancy was not a precondition for regarding the act as illegal and punishable. Various kinds of laycase had different degrees of severity. There was a distinction between simple whoring and double whoring (see below). In addition to being called whoring, laycase was also referred to by words like intercourse, laying together, sleeping together, sharing a bed, etc.<br /><br />In the 1600s, state and church had common interest in developing a new set of laws which also regulated sexual conduct and punished violators. Motivation was twofold. They wanted to avoid the wrath of God, but also to regulate and control people.<br /><br />Criminalization of laycase was a Nordic phenomenon. In other European, Catholic countries, extramarital sex was just as “sinful” as in Norway, but not a crime and therefore did not concern secular authorities. In Sweden, there were laws concerning <i>lägersmål</i> and in Denmark <i>lejermål</i> similar to the Norwegian ones.<br /><br />These laws were in part based on the Bible, including many Old Testament rules and legal principles from the books of Moses. The laws are therefore characterized by what we would today consider barbaric sentencing, torture and unacceptable definitions of sex crimes and norms for sexuality, plus a stigmatizing concept of humanity [yeah, right, as if feminism isn't equally stigmatizing!].<br /><br />On 16 October 1617, a decree was issued which made the prohibitions even more restrictive. Both men and women were made criminally responsible and the fines were to be paid to the King. Lawbreakers of both sexes were now to be punished more harshly than before for extramarital affairs. At first, the law was not taken literally, and until 1661 it was mostly men who had to pay fines for their laycases.<br /><br />It was innovative that laycase represented a violation of both secular and ecclasiastical law, and both men and women therefore had to “atone” to both these “offended” authorities. It was required that violators first confess their sins publicly to priest and congregation in church, and then pay their respective laycase fines. The fines for so-called simple laycase (see below) was 12 riksdaler for men and 6 riksdaler for women.<br /><br />Whereas few women were punished before 1661, an increasing number were prosecuted and had to atone with fines and corporal punishment (whipping, forced labor, execution) later in the 1660s.<br /><br />If the accused were unable to pay, which was often the case on part of the woman, they were to be sentenced to a subsidiary penalty. For the authorities, two things were important. Income from the fines were important to the king, and it was of moral importance that the letter of the law was upheld.<br /><br />There was a difference between the public laws and the norms of the people. <a href="https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nattefrieri" target="_blank">Nighttime trysts</a> were common and largely accepted, and betrothal was was recognized as the starting point of sexual relationships. It was relatively common to cohabit before marriage. In the 1500s, intercourse was understood as a binding act which should lead to marriage. If that didn’t ensue, the man was convicted while the woman was considered offended. If the couple got married, any children were considered legitimate and the parents got away with a fine for “too early intercourse.” After 1791 this fine was skipped if the couple got married before birth, and in 1812, first and second-offense simple laycase was decriminalized and the fines abolished, thus leading to a century and a half of respite before feminism reinstituted a worse regime.<br /><br />As to the severity, the laws applied to various different kinds of sexual relations. The different kinds were considered more or less severe. Suspects who were found guilty risked very harsh penalties, even execution, for example for repeated offenses. The classification scheme they employed illustrates the peculiar morality of the times and sheds some light on the development of sexual crimes from then up to the current situation with equally deranged laws with a feminist justification.<br /><br />The following crimes were considered most serious:<br /><br /><b>· </b>Whoring in the form of one-sided adultery, which is sexual relations between one married and one unmarried person (also called half whoring).<br /><br /><b>· </b>Double whoring in the form of two-sided adultery, which is sexual relations between two people who are each married to someone else (also called whole whoring).<br /><br /><b>· </b>Laycase in forbidden connections, which is to say sexual relations between cousins, second cousins or in-laws.<br /><br /><b>· </b>Incest was defined as sexual relations between persons closely related, up to 3. degree and also including relations by marriage.<br /><br /><b>· </b>Homosexuality, sexual relations between persons of the same sex.<br /><br /><b>· </b>Bestiality -- sexual acts which involve animals.<br /><br /><b>· </b>Sodomy -- a collective term for both homosexuality and bestiality.<br /><br />Less serious sex crimes (punished by a fine):<br /><br /><b>· </b>Maidenhood violation, which is to have intercourse with an unmarried woman after a false or invalid promise of marriage. The term and thinking stems from medieval times and is rooted in the idea that unmarried women’s chastity is valuable. [Notice how this one has been turned completely around to the MOST serious sex crime by feminism, using the entirely new justification that age gaps are abuse!]<br /><br /><b>· </b>Simple laycase, which is intercourse between two unmarried persons (also called loose laycase).<br /><br /><b>· </b>Too early childbirth, which is to give birth earlier than 7 months after getting married (also called legitimate laycase).<br /> <br /><i>Leiermål</i> was clearly a common and prevalent sin and crime. Two thirds of public confessors in the 1700s were involved in laycase. Church records reveal that more than half of all girls and women who got married were already pregnant.<br /><br />The penalty for a first offense of so-called simple laycase and other less serious instances was a fine, 6 riksdaler for women and 12 for men. Those who couldn’t pay had to serve a subsidiary prison term. There were many who didn’t have enough money for such big fines, especially women (one year’s pay for a maidservant was commonly one riksdaler).<br /><br />In 1715, two second cousins were convicted by a court in Western Norway after admitting that they had slept together. She was married to someone else. The sentence required both to confess publicly in church within eight weeks. She also received two years’ forced labor and a fine. He received two years’ forced labor.<br /><br />In a case from 1736 where a stepfather had impregnated his stepdaughter, both were sentenced to death. He was guilty of both incest and whoring. However, the King took into account that she was young and commuted the death penalties to life in the nearest fortress for him and life in jail for her. [Notice how the feminists have explicitly and unabashedly recriminalized exactly the same thing as one of the worst crimes, with youth being aggravating rather than extenuating!]<br /><br />In 1761, a 47-year-old widow who had given birth outside of wedlock was sentenced to death because the man she had the child with was a brother of one she had slept with about five years previously and then became pregnant, but the baby was stillborn. This new crime was nonetheless to be considered incest. The father was sentenced to 8 years of forced labor. Evidently the old concept of incest could be stretched almost as far as feminist “sexual abuse.”<br /><br />The persecution of sexuality outside marriage, and the draconian penalties were meant to uphold the social order. This entailed that the population in prisons and other penal institutions was of a very different character in the 1600s and 1700s than today. The huge fines would also have served the state’s (king’s) revenues well since up to 80% of court cases in some parts of the country were about <i>leiermål</i>. The majority of inmates in the country’s jails, workhouses and fortresses were classified as vagrants and beggars, but the group of laycase offenders was large. The group “women sentenced to death for incest, but pardoned” was considerable. Incest, such as sex with a sibling, cousin, second cousin, parent or other relative, was a serious felony which entailed a risk of capital punishment. If an uncle had a child with a niece, both were to be executed by beheading and then burnt on a bonfire. There was also a considerable number of women and men locked up for repeat offenses of extramarital sex and women who had given birth to babies while trying to conceal it (<i>dølgsmål</i>). (According to Wikipedia,) only ca. 10% av inmates were convicted of crimes that qualify for prison sentences today; however, I dispute this and think the author is in denial about the true malignancy of feminist sex laws. If not under current laws, certainly most of them could be imprisoned under the new concept of “rape” that Norway is about to get which requires the man to prove consent every time.<br /><br />Women who were sentenced for third time laycase received whippings and men were in such cases either sentenced to death or a combination of jail and confiscation of wealth. For whoring between two people who were each married to someone else (so-called double whoring) the punishment was confiscation of their net worth. Half of the estate was seized for the King's coffers, and the other half remained with the innocent spouse.<br /><br />For a second offense, married parents were sentenced to banishment from the diocese or county. If they offended a third time, they could expect the death penalty.<br /><br />Those who were convicted of laycase in forbidden connections, which also includes relation by cousinhood, second cousinhood or marriage, were sentenced to confiscation of property in addition to forced labor for two to four years. If anyone offended a second time in a similar manner, death penalty awaited. Incest leading to birth was punished by death. It was defined not just by having children with a parent or sibling, but also included cousins, second cousins and other relatives, even in-laws.<br /><br />Those who were sentenced to death could appeal to the King. If they were pardoned, the death penalty was usually commuted to lifelong forced labor.<br /><br /><b>The harshest penalty was imposed if a married woman and a married man had an extramarital affair</b>. By law, if these sinners did not break off their relationship, the man was to be beheaded and the woman should be tied up in a bag and drowned. Double-sided adultery was thus something akin to how feminism treats age gaps: the very worst offense imaginable and their whole morality in a nutshell.<br /><br />For a third offense of laycase, the woman was to be whipped publicly and the man beheaded (the ordinance of 1619).<br /><br />In 1767, the public confession in connection with simple laycase was repealed and the penalty lowered to eight days in jail. For rich people it was possible to buy oneself out of this punishment, but it was expensive: 10 riksdaler, the equivalent to almost 10,000 kroner today. For young servant girls who had an annual wage of 1 daler, it was impossible to pay such a fine. In principle, laycase remained punishable under the Norwegian Penal Code (straffeloven § 379) until 1972, but it was a sleeping law the final decades of its existence.<br /><br />Which is when feminism picks up and over the course of the next four decades reinstates a worse regime than the height of <i>leiermål</i>, crowned by the abolition of the jury in 2018. We need to wake up to what it really is. Think about it: why should the authorities be more reasonable just because they speak in terms of “victims” rather than biblical admonitions? Both are excuses to control us and further the careers or our oppressors, with added financial incentives for accusers today to make it even worse. The difference is merely that the normies now believe in feminist mythology of “sexual abuse,” “grooming” and all that crap rather than the books of Moses, so the fake victim approach works. It serves the same purpose as the old criminalization including redistribution of wealth, this time to the whole abuse industry rather than the king. Their definition of rape and other sexual abuse is a joke which means nothing more than laycase, so let’s make our language reflect that to at least undermine their moral standing if not yet the violence against us. If we can’t make war against the sex war, let us at least make words. Make them face up to what the conflict is really about. Don’t let them call us misleading names like “far-right extremist” or "misogynist" any more, and the way to make them realize that male sexualism is something entirely different than they imagine is to actually educate them like I am trying to do with this post, because they literally don’t comprehend this, so brainwashed are they with feminist antisex bigotry.<br /><br />As we have seen, there was very much an equivalent of the feminist female sex offender charade in our history. However, as loathsome as it was, they never sunk so low as to pretend women can commit rape or sexual abuse. They would certainly want to punish the same women that feminists so gleefully persecute today, but it wold be for laycase rather than the mind-boggling absurdity of pretending female teachers “abuse” their lucky male students and such. If we can accomplish just one little increment in our lifetime, I pray that this is the one we get. It should be the lowest-hanging fruit of the entire War on Sex due to the insane stupidity of it, so is this too much to ask? They don’t have to stop imprisoning the women for this wish to be granted. Just quit adding insult to injury by pretending lucky boys are victims.Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com131tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26678806.post-40913421303304800582021-10-25T16:44:00.010+02:002021-12-06T21:54:28.954+01:00The persecution of Monica YoungThere is the War on Sex, and then there is misogyny for its own sake on top of it. This travesty is so disturbing that it's very difficult to write about, but I can't let this sad fate go without a post. Monica Young is another victim of the most bizarre witch-hunt of all times:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9763227/Geography-teacher-Monica-Young-spend-two-years-jail-sexual-assault-student.html" target="_blank">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9763227/Geography-teacher-Monica-Young-spend-two-years-jail-sexual-assault-student.html</a><br /><br />She is judged as if we live in an anti-world where all the values are opposite to ours. You might call it a Satanic verdict except even Satanism isn't so deranged when you look into it. There is no rhyme or reason here whatsoever unless you postulate a metaphysical anti-world that is more real than this one and supersedes it.<br /><br />The normies purport to believe that sex has magical powers that work precisely opposite to what we experience, which is to make people happy. According to feminist dogma which now serves as state religion, the happiness is an illusion and the metaphysical badness is real. The boy has been well coached to maximize payouts, and the world will buy his non-sequitur that his life is ruined by sex because the gaping hole in the logic is filled by the anti-world. It is on the level of "she was a dangerous witch who had to be burnt." Except the superstition is even more deranged because she was an obvious boon to the boy. Yet the superstition that she was "abusing" him seems almost as "true" to our culture as the belief in witches back then.<br /><br />Now it is belief in the metaphysical badness of sex that is the overarching superstition of our times. I guess this belief is needed to be "well adjusted" and undisturbed by the persecutions. One must believe in a metaphysical sexual soul, an anti-soul or whatever it is that is affected by sexuality in this realm and more real. When a boy goes through all the motions and emotions of enjoying sex in this world, that metaphysical sexual soul is damaged via some gobbledygook mechanism. The feminists can never explain what this mechanism is, but one must believe in it. One must believe that sex damns your metaphysical sexual soul forever if you are under some arbitrary age or meet any other of their infinitely expanding criteria of victimhood. Oh, yes, the feminists will tell you the damage is psychological rather than metaphysical, but that is a lie. There is absolutely nothing in this world that can explain "harm" from winning the ultimate fitness payoff that is sex with a young woman. The feminists believe in the metaphysical badness of sex which must be <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2014/01/oversocialization-explains-female-sex.html" target="_blank">oversocialized</a> into us whether they admit its metaphysical nature or not.<br /><br />How do the normies manage to believe in this witchcraft? How do they manage to believe in the anti-world? How do they get past the anti-intellectual, anti-emotional, anti-moral gobbledygook and internalize it? (Which to be fair not all do, but they don't stand up for the innocent victims either.)<br /><br />I have attempted to answer this in a long <a href="http://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2021/04/the-persecution-of-jessica-mihalovits.html" target="_blank">series</a> of posts about the female sex offender charade and gotten none closer to understanding.

It's a cool book, but didn't bring me closer to answers than his videos and free writings that I already discussed in my <a href="https://eivindberge.blogspot.com/2020/02/metaphysical-interlude.html" target="_blank">first metaphysical interlude</a>. If you still haven't grasped the conundrum then it would be extremely useful, but for me it mainly served to make me feel confident to dig further into it knowing that if I make progress, I won't simply be replicating his thoughts. He does not present a metaphysical system anyway, spending most of the book lamenting the impossibility of getting an answer and dismissing existing philosophy as "theories" -- until the last couple of pages where he ends on a more optimistic note.</p><p>I might not have existed, but someone exactly like me might have existed in my place. What is the ultimate reality that decides if I am me? That is the Question, the Quest (for Klempner, at least), the idiotic conundrum. I shall not become obsessed with this myself, but it does deserve some thought.</p><p>Philosophers commonly ponder the nature of identity persistence through time (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus" target="_blank">Ship of Theseus</a> and all that all the way up to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDFB6hf87yk&t=1s" target="_blank">contemporary examples</a>), but they rarely if ever bother to ask why I am me NOW! That is the Question. Being skeptical about your persistence through time does not get rid of it. I call it the cosmic serial number. I am one cosmic serial number, but I could have been another. If it does change over my lifetime then I am largely blind to that change, but that's not the hardest question. Materialists actually have more reason to believe it does change, because they deny an ultimate reality that could be far more mysterious than an arrangement of atoms, why not capable of sustaining you over time? Hume famously missed this too, and Descartes invented needless fairy tales that don't explain it either -- a soul "substance" that can't be it and a Cartesian theater that adds nothing. Kant was sort of onto something with his transcendental idealism and noumena but didn't go all the way to the idiotic conundrum, and Nietzsche missed it spectacularly with his eternal return which in this respect amounts to the same as atomistic materialism, which is to say denying the problem altogether.</p><p>Only Donald Hoffman comes close to actually explaining it. I have never seen him actually address it, but he lies the groundwork for an explanation in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjxF6rcblTw" target="_blank">videos like this</a>. Once you get rid of reductionism and the shared hallucination that we call spacetime with physical objects, the alternative might have the properties that we are after -- the network of conscious agents who interface via our shared reality. And you <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Xdss9p_Ok" target="_blank">must drop the reductionist path</a> if you accept that this "reality" is an interface. Studying the pixels on your screen doesn't get you closer to understanding how the processor works; the causal power lies on another plane entirely. A sort of idealism plus natural selection gives a better view. We are both so far removed from ultimate reality that we can't measure any truth about the structure of the world with our scientific instruments that only get at the interface, yet also directly plugged in since we immediately feel it.</p><p>Or at least can feel ultimate reality if we pay attention. Not just the two of us, Klempner and I. You can, too, unless you are literally a zombie. I know you can because I didn't always or at least not continuously ponder the idiotic conundrum or have a name for it, yet I believe I was conscious then too. Whenever there is consciousness, there is the conundrum whether you are aware of it or not, because someone else might have been having that experience in your place through no distinction that can be observable in this universe. You are therefore uncreated by this universe and something separate.</p><p>I had feelings as a child that I now would label as awareness of my cosmic serial number. I didn't regard it as a "conundrum," just marveled at it. I thought this sense of self was simply what it meant to have a self and I still don't think it is an uncommon feeling. What is uncommon is to make an issue out of it. It is slightly more surprising that some actively deny it and become positivists. And come to think of it, it is weird that an entire major religion like Hinduism makes a dogma out of there only being one. Atman the individual self is ultimately identical to the universal also called Atman or sometimes Brahman, they say; this is in the book and I thought so too independently: there is no justification to limit the number to one, just a story they made up. It sounds poetic to say things like we are all waves in the same water of consciousness, but there is no compelling metaphysical justification for it. If I have two glasses of water are they really one because there is one water? No, there is no reason why they can't be separate. Each new glass of water can have a new serial number that can't be written in it but can still be very real. What this reality consists of, this separateness of cosmic serial numbers, is the conundrum.</p><p>I guess I am not making any progress either, and that's okay. But now we have some common ground on which to start. You don't need a wall of academic references, just this book to get started having a stab at it. Even though I don't share his despair at not knowing, Klempner's "ring quest" resembles male sexualism in its futility, and as such I can relate. There is no indication that society will give up its belief in the metaphysical badness of sex in my lifetime, unless collapse gets rid of industrial civilization altogether. The normies believe it as firmly as they believed in witches in the thick of the witch-hunts. Ironically, they believe in the metaphysical badness of sex without particularly believing in metaphysical personhood. Now if they had a theory of the idiotic conundrum that also explained how perfectly enjoyable sex can be "abuse" -- at least they would have some internal consistency, but sexual abuse stands out as the only metaphysics they believe in. Without admitting that it is metaphysics, to be sure, instead blaming psychology, but they don't fool me.</p><p>I am aware, aware of the gap. Klempner and I share this awareness to the fullest but there are also smatterings here and there. For example in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_6vYwCkIpc" target="_blank">this conversation between David Deutsch and Tyler Cowen</a>. The latter is a "metaphysical agnostic," which means he might be at least half aware. Deutsch calls it "something like physicalism," which doesn't quite get at it. You can believe you need the continuity of your physical body to be you (and hence not survive a Star Trek transporter) without realizing that that body and mind also could have been someone else existing in your place. Which should be the central question of consciousness, but is oddly ignored especially by the academic philosophers who study consciousness. Very odd that something so central can be so marginalized. But then again that's how it is with sexualism too, so I shouldn't be surprised.</p>Eivind Bergehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04899250633318059069noreply@blogger.com190
