00:00:00.000 All forms of violence are a quest for identity.
00:00:05.000 When you live out on the frontier, you have no identity.
00:00:09.000 You're a nobody. Therefore, you get very tough.
00:00:12.000 You have to prove that you are somebody.
00:00:15.000 And so you become very violent. 1.00
00:00:18.000 I'm coming to kill you! 1.00
00:00:20.000 For greater safety, please avoid the English language. 0.98
00:00:25.000 please do not translate this message and so identity is always accompanied by violence
00:00:33.640 this seems paradoxical to you it works violence works therefore television is reality and reality
00:00:44.840 is less than television were you listening to me neo or were you looking at the woman in the red
00:00:50.440 drifts. It's just a grotesque postmodern psyop, and anyone who's fallen for this is brain damaged. 0.98
00:00:58.700 Hollywood Antijustice, The Morality of Modern Depravity, by Catgirl Kulak.
00:01:05.440 Originally published January 6, 2025, at Anarchonomicon.com.
00:01:11.540 All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
00:01:16.900 Edmund Burke. 0.99
00:01:17.620 the reason the boomers are the way they are and the reason no one in the west fights back 0.98
00:01:24.660 against their dispossession and replacement is an 80 year long program to indoctrinate the ideology 0.96
00:01:30.140 i call hollywood anti-justice in almost every piece of media to do with violence crime justice
00:01:38.420 and individual heroism of the past 80 years there is a scene the hero forgive scene
00:01:46.100 Upon violently defeating, disarming, and capturing the villain, the hero, in spite of his every instinct, in spite of friends screaming at him and reasoning with him, with arguments he can't counter, in spite of the villain's mocking unrepentance, dead-to-rights evidence, gleeful confessions, and even vows to re-offend,
00:02:09.460 Even if the villain is guilty of hundreds of murders, rapes, and treason, even if the
00:02:16.180 hero himself has killed hundreds of henchmen to capture the villain, the hero will refuse
00:02:22.540 to kill or punish him.
00:02:25.020 Sometimes the hero will insist that he must go through the courts. 0.96
00:02:28.900 Sometimes the villain will openly mock him that the courts are corrupt and will never
00:02:32.120 convict him.
00:02:33.120 and the hero will still refuse to take the matter into his home and the hero will still refuse to
00:02:40.080 take the matter into his own hands sometimes the hero himself is the lawful authority sometimes the
00:02:48.000 hero is a military officer post-apocalyptic militia captain medieval knight greek hero roman
00:02:54.640 centurion etc and in fact his private judgment is the official lawful means of passing judgment
00:03:04.400 and executing obviously guilty villains and he still refuses to punish or kill them
00:03:11.200 i recently saw al-sid where the hero a knight refuses to hang brigands who have pillaged
00:03:18.700 raped burnt to town confessed and were themselves quite resigned to dying and even as his fellow
00:03:26.880 knights berated him that the law itself demand he hang them that it is in fact his sacred duty
00:03:33.120 to hang them that would be treason for all said not to hang them in spite of all that the hero
00:03:40.820 simply cuts their bindings and lets them go choosing to be forsworn as a traitor to spain
00:03:47.540 rather than hang the confessed and red-handedly guilty villains.
00:03:53.040 Now, this may be historical, but as far as I've been able to find, such an event never occurred.
00:03:59.820 It's been made up for the film.
00:04:02.420 Doubly egregiously, because the historical L. Cid almost certainly executed many criminals and brigands, 0.68
00:04:09.080 committing and ordering justice,
00:04:10.620 which the film's L.L. Cid, portrayed by Carlson Heston, is not depicted ever doing.
00:04:19.660 Indeed, even if the hero has been in this exact position before and spared the villain only for more to die,
00:04:27.480 sometimes even his own friends and family perishing at the villain's hands,
00:04:32.380 demonstrating the failures of this unspoken philosophy,
00:04:37.780 In many properties, the hero will still let the villain go again.
00:04:45.140 Usually in a Hollywood production, there are some deus ex machina that makes us all work out.
00:04:51.060 In some ironic way, some divine punishment will find the villain to their own folly.
00:04:56.960 But not always.
00:04:58.920 Indeed, entire franchises have been perpetuated by the same serial killer villain
00:05:03.740 being forgiven, released, allowed to escape, etc., over and over again.
00:05:12.920 And audiences consistently hate this.
00:05:15.440 This is always the most clichéd, poorly written, out-of-character, film-breaking scene in the entire work.
00:05:24.240 Supposedly great kings, ruthless bounty hunters, outlaws, veteran knights, military officers, 0.69
00:05:30.420 gray and black market criminal antiheroes, smugglers, all of them transform into the most
00:05:36.900 inconsistent pacifist for this exact scene. I've seen audiences groan and scream at the TV,
00:05:46.540 just kill him, and yet the hero, often entirely contrary to the character, will not. This is
00:05:54.740 not an old literate trope. This is a Hollywood trope. You can read the original Greek legends,
00:06:01.380 the tales of King Arthur and his knights, early modern nationalist hero stories, the adventures
00:06:06.440 of various Napoleonic officers, the boys' own adventures of the empire, and well into contemporary
00:06:13.320 fiction, modern westerns, crime stories, military science fiction, historical fiction, etc. In all
00:06:20.760 them you'll see heroes kill their enemies in cold blood order executions of the guilty demand 0.70
00:06:26.520 deserters spies and traders be shot they'll seek revenge and order mass hangings etc nor is this
00:06:34.360 some uniquely american madness as late as the 1950s the vigilantes and terrorists of the original
00:06:41.560 reconstruction era um 1864 to 1877 ku klux klan they were treated as folk heroes
00:06:50.760 The birth of a nation was played at the White House by Woodrow Wilson when it released. 0.80
00:06:55.440 So esteemed was the Klan in the early 20th century.
00:07:00.540 The idea of vengeance, wild justice, and vigilante killings being some unconscionable moral horror
00:07:07.280 was simply not the case in the first half of the 20th century.
00:07:11.880 It was celebrated, much it is as it has been celebrated for the previous 3,000 years of Western history.
00:07:18.660 so why did hollywood invent this trope were hollywood production producers just so attached
00:07:26.760 the idea of christian forgiveness and pacifism that they just had to include it over the groans
00:07:33.320 and often shouting of their audiences were any of these writers directors or producers 0.89
00:07:39.420 even christian to begin with why would the communist atheists the jews and pedophiles 0.72
00:07:47.020 that comprise the core of the Hollywood writing 0.90
00:07:50.100 include such an unusual Christian theme
00:07:53.180 so insistently and often story-breakingly. 1.00
00:07:58.180 Well, why do they insist on bullshit girl bossery, 1.00
00:08:03.480 race-mixing, and woke-theming today 1.00
00:08:05.760 over the protests and disinterest of their audience today? 1.00
00:08:13.000 Because it benefits them to brainwash the masses 0.93
00:08:16.660 in that manner. Hollywood writers never identified with the hero refusing to kill an enemy.
00:08:24.540 They identified with the villain, and they quite liked for him to get away. Indeed, many Hollywood
00:08:32.100 writers will openly say as much, that they identify with the villains and they much prefer
00:08:37.900 writing them. And indeed, once you see this ideology of Hollywood anti-justice, you can see
00:08:45.540 it in every detail. The villain cannot be killed no matter how the hero despises him, and no matter
00:08:54.400 his crimes. Even if the courts are completely corrupt and let a braggingly guilty man go for
00:08:59.900 multiple rapes, the hero just has to accept it. But if some side character snaps and guns down the
00:09:08.060 villain who raped their daughter. If someone seeks your revenge, then the hero must pursue that
00:09:15.500 person to the ends of the earth, be they even their own family. The hero cannot forgive and let
00:09:21.260 that go. The courts cannot fail to convict in that case. No jury will be crooked and nullify on that
00:09:27.920 charge. Indeed, in many Hollywood productions, the hero betrays the trust of friends and family
00:09:34.980 who desire nothing but the best for them.
00:09:38.000 Becoming state's witnesses or informants
00:09:40.500 because their friends and family desire revenge
00:09:43.760 and have an innate sense of justice that will not stop
00:09:46.460 just because some courts refuse to act.
00:09:49.340 The hero must forgive any crime committed by a degenerate and unrepentant villain
00:09:54.380 who has harmed his friends and family, according to Hollywood.
00:09:58.580 But under no circumstances is he allowed to tolerate
00:10:02.160 or look away from a good and virtuous person
00:10:05.020 possessed of innate morality
00:10:06.760 that he has seen with his own eyes again and again
00:10:12.980 if that person should happen to conclude
00:10:16.500 that vigilante justice or vengeance is warranted.
00:10:21.160 This is the core moral lesson
00:10:23.380 of U.S. modern media and propaganda.
00:10:26.720 It is not any economic idea, patriotism, a sexual norm.
00:10:31.480 not even tolerance and multiculturalism that U.S. media teaches to Americans and Westerners.
00:10:38.260 The core moral instruction of all U.S. media is that under no circumstances can anyone,
00:10:45.880 no matter how virtuous, noble, pure of motivation, or even lawfully empowered according to a legal regime of their own society,
00:10:54.200 Under no circumstances is it morally permissible to individually enact justice, and the measure of a good person is that they will tolerate any evil and any corruption, up to any level of society, tolerate any villain to go free, tolerate hundreds if not thousands of murders and rapes, just so long as they never attempt to enact justice themselves.
00:11:22.480 And that beyond this, they must do anything, betray any bond of fellowship or kinship, if they see another person attempting to enact justice on their own.
00:11:35.520 This is an alien idea.
00:11:40.460 This is contrary to 3,000 years Western philosophy and virtue.
00:11:45.680 This is contrary to the Greek ethics and legends.
00:11:48.680 This is contrary to Roman poetry.
00:11:50.360 This is contrary to the Norse sagas.
00:11:52.360 This is contrary to the Arthurian romances.
00:11:55.360 This is contrary to the plays of Shakespeare.
00:11:58.360 This is contrary to the early modern novels.
00:12:00.360 This is contrary to the founding fathers.
00:12:02.360 This is contrary to the boys' own adventure books of the British Empire.
00:12:06.360 This is contrary to a thousand military memoirs.
00:12:10.360 This is contrary to the entire tradition of literary westerns.
00:12:14.360 And this is contrary to the entire tradition of early 20th century fiction.
00:12:19.360 This is an entirely alien series of ideas propagandized into American and Western culture
00:12:27.100 by avowed enemies of the Western tradition, 0.97
00:12:30.660 communists, atheists, gays, feminists, Jews, and pedophiles, 0.81
00:12:33.980 who openly wrote in countless essays of their desire to capture culture-making institutions 0.96
00:12:41.320 and use them to alienate Western men from their own virtues, values, and traditions
00:12:47.780 out of an explicit and stated desire to weaken and overthrow Western man and
00:12:53.480 they targeted this at children this is most heavily pushed and repeated in
00:13:00.020 children's fiction so that they can brainwash it early and see spirits
00:13:04.820 broken before ever they might engage with the actual art of their own
00:13:08.420 tradition their heritage and their heritage of Western glory to take nearly
00:13:14.280 the most artistically made example that really summarizes it 1993's batman the mask of the
00:13:21.960 phantasm is the best batman film ever made this is not an opinion this is a fact a neo-noir
00:13:29.880 masterpiece of artistry tension romantic writing it's a kid's anime animated film miles more
00:13:38.280 strained, mature, thematically complex, romantic, and visually compelling than even the best
00:13:45.020 of Burton or Nolan. The kind of primordially refined, simple, and beautiful parable that
00:13:50.720 can only exist in animations or films that otherwise place themselves outside realism
00:13:56.640 and into the realm of expressionism, such as silent films or a black and white Akira
00:14:02.680 kurosawa samurai picture coming right off the animated tv show it follows the animated bruce
00:14:10.780 wayne pursuing a mysterious killer of mafia bosses known only as the phantasm as batman in the present
00:14:20.500 and flashing back to recall his early life becoming batman and a fleeting tragic romance he had with
00:14:27.400 his former fiancée, Andrea Beaumont, a woman he was madly in love with before she left,
00:14:34.420 with merely a note calling off the wedding.
00:14:37.940 As the film progresses, Andrea reappears in the present, and it is revealed that she is
00:14:44.260 the phantasm, that her and her father were forced to flee due to the mafia bosses coming
00:14:49.680 after him, and that now that they found and killed her father, she's back for revenge.
00:14:55.340 And there is only one mafioso left, the man who subsequently became the Joker.
00:15:03.360 She is still madly in love with Bruce Wayne.
00:15:06.760 She has committed no immorality save killing the men who admittedly and unambiguously killed her father,
00:15:13.820 and who had killed countless others besides. 0.89
00:15:16.920 And all it would take for Bruce to finally hang up Batman, set aside his gothic misery,
00:15:23.160 get to marry the love of his life and be truly happy
00:15:27.500 would be for him to set aside his bizarre pacifistic ethics
00:15:31.940 and assist her in killing the Joker. 0.97
00:15:34.320 One last villain killed and they can be happy,
00:15:38.280 just as every single hero in the Western canon
00:15:41.600 going back to Gilgamesh would have done.
00:15:45.540 Of course, Bruce doesn't.
00:15:47.540 He has to stop her.
00:15:49.580 Indeed, even at the end of the film,
00:15:52.020 with both of them still alive they cannot be together because bruce wayne cannot accept her
00:15:58.420 for her crimes he cannot accept her for her crime of loving her father and wanting to see her
00:16:06.260 him avenge bruce can't accept that kind of love and devotion from a wife
00:16:13.300 by contrast here's odysseus's blessing to nausicaa the gold standard for what wedded bliss
00:16:20.020 should be going back 3,000 years and may the gods grant you all your heart's
00:16:30.460 desire a husband in a home and mutual harmony in all its beauty since nothing
00:16:37.240 is finer better than when a man and a woman of one heart and mind stay
00:16:42.040 together a joy to their friends a sorrow to their enemies
00:16:50.020 This is why Western Man is treated like Odysseus, like an abused beggar and stranger in his 0.95
00:16:57.400 own house, as parasites and enemies who traffic in lives, devour and destroy that which he 0.98
00:17:03.540 has harvested and built. 0.91
00:17:06.160 But whereas Odysseus was away for decades, Western Man has been at home. 0.56
00:17:11.760 Western Man has allowed his house to degrade to its current state in front of his own eyes
00:17:17.760 because he has allowed himself to be propagandized and brainwashed
00:17:21.920 into believing it would be evil for him to defend what is his
00:17:25.780 and what is just by his own hand.
00:17:30.180 Odysseus, being so ill-used, does not accept the injustices committed against him,
00:17:36.040 his house and his friends.
00:17:38.000 He does not forgive.
00:17:40.020 Indeed, he commits the first mass shooting in recorded history,
00:17:44.160 Conspiring to acquire his bow and sending his few loyal friends to lock the door so the suitors cannot escape,
00:17:51.900 he shoots down on all the unarmed suitors and the traitorous servants and women of his house
00:17:57.780 who have colluded with or slept with the suitors.
00:18:01.700 Every time Hollywood stages this most ancient story on film,
00:18:06.960 they go out of their way to give the suitors weapons or to have the suitors strike first. 0.96
00:18:12.500 One film even has the treacherous women arming the suitors 0.50
00:18:15.960 and attempting to throw things and poison Odysseus.
00:18:19.760 But this is not how Homer portrays it.
00:18:23.800 Rather, Odysseus and his few confederates had removed the weapons from the halls
00:18:29.360 so that the numerous host of enemies within would not be able to offer him any violence.
00:18:36.920 Homer portrays the suitors panicking and reaching for their weapons hanging on the walls,
00:18:41.760 only to find the walls bare and to be cut down on arms shot in the back as they tried to flee
00:18:49.920 these men had conspired to rob odysseus they had insulted and humiliated him in his own house
00:18:57.360 they had inspired an attempt to kill his only son he did not need them to offer further violence to
00:19:05.200 justify killing them this was vengeance this was a righteous fury this was a
00:19:11.560 king enacting justice this is a Greek warrior doing what a Greek warrior was
00:19:16.840 supposed to do this is a hero who encounters injustice and corrects it by
00:19:22.960 enacting justice of his own will this is what Western man is supposed to be and
00:19:29.080 and was until the proliferation of television and mass media propaganda by his enemies.
00:19:39.740 And it is on you, dear reader, to unlearn that propaganda. 0.91
00:19:44.740 It is on you to stop watching TV and movies by degenerates who rape their actress and child stars 0.89
00:19:50.980 looking for moral instruction from them, 0.97
00:19:53.840 and instead to recognize that the lessons they've taught you have been taught to make you weak
00:19:58.960 and make you tolerate evil you must actually read primary texts written before 1900 like the
00:20:09.240 epics of homer the history of rome the sagas of the vikings the romances of the medieval knights
00:20:15.500 the plays of elizabeth in england the novels and memoirs of the 18th and 19th century
00:20:21.180 you need to see just how ready western man is to commit violence in all eras see how ready he is to
00:20:31.080 kill a villain who has wronged him see how ready he is to cut down or hang with his own hands a
00:20:39.160 monster who has committed a crime on no authority but his own see how ready he is to take up arms 0.99
00:20:46.500 against tyranny purely for his own from his own moral initiative and own desire for liberty
00:20:52.900 see how ready he is to enact his moral vision with death and vengeance even upon a ship's mate who
00:20:59.880 has simply fallen asleep out on a watch or a man who's tried to cheat him in cards and see how
00:21:07.340 modern hollywood morality is clearly a form of trained cowardice cockery and anti-justice by
00:21:14.940 comparison. How hatefully your ancestors would see you if they could see you waiting for inquiries
00:21:21.460 or tolerating these injustices for reasons you yourself cannot articulate and have never questioned.
00:21:29.800 Returning to Burke, all that it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.
00:21:36.100 okay then we might ask what is something your ancestors have been screaming the answer at you
00:21:45.540 violence violence is something
00:21:49.360 They will chain you like Prometheus to a rock where the memory of your own greatness will gnaw you.
00:22:19.360 the battle for the mind of north america will be fought in the video arena the video drum
00:22:32.800 you look around what do you see businessmen teachers lawyers carpenters the very minds
00:22:39.660 of the people we are trying to save but until we do these people are still a part of that system
00:22:44.900 and that makes them our enemy no we're not doing that you're getting called a slur
00:22:50.400 after all there is nothing real outside our perception of reality is there you can see that
00:22:59.560 can't you no no tribal people uh one of the main uh kinds of sport is sort of butchering each other
00:23:06.560 it's a full-time sport in tribal societies for your safety please avoid contact with
00:23:13.880 close family members and restrain from the following all terms of endearment it's very
00:23:21.560 simple the message is force is more effective than voting elections change nothing but i had
00:23:28.360 some ideas we got global and tribal we you know we were going to come the closer you get together
00:23:32.680 the more you like each other yeah there's no evidence of that in any situation that we we've
00:23:37.240 We've ever heard of.
00:23:38.740 Major Lennox answered with his life, as you should have done if you had any sense about that.
00:23:43.260 You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged.
00:23:48.280 And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
00:23:55.180 He who saves a nation violates no law.
00:24:02.300 All forms of violence are a quest for identity.
00:24:05.560 When you live out on the frontier, you have no identity.
00:24:09.560 You're a nobody. Therefore, you get very tough.
00:24:12.560 You have to prove that you are somebody.
00:24:15.560 And so you become very violent. 1.00
00:24:18.560 I'm coming to kill you! 1.00
00:24:20.560 For greater safety, please avoid the English language. 0.99
00:24:26.560 Please do not translate this message.
00:24:30.560 And so identity is always accompanied by violence.
00:24:34.560 this seems paradoxical to you it works violence works
00:24:41.800 television is reality and reality is less than television were you listening to
00:24:48.120 me neo or were you looking at the woman in the red dress it's just a grotesque 0.96
00:24:52.800 postmodern psyop and anyone who's fallen for this is brain damaged 0.98
