00:00:00.000 What is the nature of the great man?
00:00:10.000 In my past couple videos, I talked about the nature of the evil man and the nature of the
00:00:17.500 good man.
00:00:18.500 But what about the great man, those that move society, that shake the pillars and transform
00:00:27.500 things for the better?
00:00:29.500 The problem is, you can't really answer that question nowadays, because great men don't
00:00:36.300 exist anymore.
00:00:40.300 It's funny, funny and kind of sad, how I get so many comments from people accusing me of
00:00:48.160 trying to put on airs or trying to be cool or badass or whatever, when, like, honestly,
00:00:55.500 folks, what you see is what you get.
00:00:57.000 If I'm trying to be anything, it's a better version of what I already am.
00:01:03.800 No air is being put on with this channel.
00:01:10.600 I mean, being myself, being honest, they react in the harshest of manners, because they've
00:01:17.400 never seen a real man in their entire lives.
00:01:20.400 I mean, what sort of example did they have?
00:01:23.400 Action movies?
00:01:24.400 Arnold Schwarzenegger?
00:01:25.400 Heck, even back in the 80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger was, at least he had the hints of reality.
00:01:32.400 It was movies attracted to men that had been in a fistfight once or twice in their life.
00:01:38.200 They could at least sort of relate and knew that all of this stuff was over the top.
00:01:43.200 But nowadays?
00:01:44.200 Nowadays, you have a complete sociopath instead of James Bond.
00:01:51.000 The cigar, the Dunhill cigarette, the martini, that's gone. 0.99
00:01:56.800 They've just got psycho killing people. 0.98
00:01:58.800 You know, they've got video games. 0.98
00:02:00.800 Rack up as many kills as you can in there.
00:02:02.800 Like, there's this fake version of violence, this fake version of masculinity.
00:02:07.600 And so is it any surprise that these people, you've got the fake version of masculinity on
00:02:13.600 the one side, and then the realistic movies all have these simpering baby men that cry constantly 0.97
00:02:23.000 and have feelings and are just the other extreme of ridiculous.
00:02:30.600 And so they see a real man and they freak out, of course they do. 0.89
00:02:34.000 There's no surprise there.
00:02:37.300 Which isn't to say that I'm a great man.
00:02:40.100 To steal the words of Menke's Moldbug, at best, I'm a second-rate man in a fourth-rate world.
00:02:49.300 If I look great, it's just because of the surroundings.
00:02:55.200 See, here's the thing, folks.
00:02:58.100 We're at the end of history.
00:03:00.900 The liberals have won.
00:03:02.500 The experiment is over.
00:03:05.700 Oh, there's a few little things to clean up here and there.
00:03:10.100 You know, they made fun of transsexuals on The Hangover 2 and, you know, children can only vote in a few countries.
00:03:17.900 And there isn't perfect female representation in the boardroom in politics, but for the most part, every major struggle of the left, they've won. 1.00
00:03:29.600 The French Revolutionaries, the world they wanted, perfect equality, we have it.
00:03:34.300 We're not just born equal, we are made equal by the state.
00:03:41.000 Oh, it's not perfect.
00:03:42.000 There's a few little scraps to deal with.
00:03:45.400 But for every major battle of the left, of the Enlightenment, it's been won.
00:03:54.000 They've won.
00:03:54.700 The liberals, you guys have won.
00:03:56.300 You own society.
00:03:58.000 We're all atheists now.
00:03:59.700 We're all feminists. 1.00
00:04:00.600 We're all egalitarians.
00:04:05.600 The funny thing about history is that as soon as it's over, it just keeps going, doesn't it?
00:04:13.100 It just keeps going.
00:04:19.100 So now, talking about the generational cycle, the fourth turning that we're currently under, this deserves a whole video to itself.
00:04:28.300 But suffice to say, we have a hero generation coming into power.
00:04:34.800 And the nature of humanity, of man, is to always seek out monsters to fight.
00:04:43.800 You know, in primitive Paleolithic times, you're going out and hunting mammoths, bringing back the food to the tribe.
00:04:50.800 You know, we need to do that.
00:04:51.800 We need an enemy.
00:04:52.800 We need a challenge.
00:04:56.300 And in politics, you take monarchy.
00:04:58.300 You have one king going up against another, politicking or warfaring or what have you.
00:05:03.300 You take the modern era, the Democrat, the classical liberal, the French revolutionary, always against the powers of old and evil, as Hunter S. Thompson put it.
00:05:17.300 Now, there is no more old and evil left.
00:05:20.800 They've won.
00:05:21.800 They own everything.
00:05:22.800 So all there is left for the Democrats to do is some internal party bickering.
00:05:27.800 So let's look at this hero generation.
00:05:32.800 Let's look at this hero generation with their black-white thinking, they're willing to sacrifice themselves, their desire for something better and more. 0.91
00:05:41.800 In the 1930s, he had the Hitler Youth. 0.72
00:05:48.300 Nowadays, you've got the FEMA Youth.
00:05:52.300 You've got these kids wearing blue t-shirts showing up at auditoriums, learning how they can handle a disaster scenario,
00:05:59.300 and gradually getting indoctrinated into the system that will be happy putting Americans into internment camps and body bags.
00:06:07.800 But I ask you, when you get right down to it, who's more frightening?
00:06:12.800 The Hitler Youth or the FEMA Youth? 0.81
00:06:15.800 You see, the Hitler Youth, these guys had some energy. 0.93
00:06:18.800 They actually had an enemy they were fighting.
00:06:21.800 Or is FEMA?
00:06:23.800 Who are they fighting?
00:06:25.800 Survivalists?
00:06:27.800 Homophobes?
00:06:28.800 People that vote against gay marriage? 0.99
00:06:31.300 You know, like the Hitler Youth, they were fighting against the evil Jews, 0.99
00:06:36.300 and they were fighting against the Russians,
00:06:39.300 and they were reclaiming territory that belonged to Germany.
00:06:43.300 What does the FEMA Youth have?
00:06:46.300 Not very much.
00:06:49.300 So, yeah, we've arrived at the end of history.
00:06:59.800 Except history's going to keep going.
00:07:02.800 The liberals have won.
00:07:03.800 The Democrats have won.
00:07:05.300 All they can do is now cannibalize one another.
00:07:07.800 There's no more woolly mammoths out there.
00:07:09.800 There's no more old and evil for them to fight.
00:07:12.800 All they can do is fight amongst themselves.
00:07:16.800 And for some people, some people that really want to go on a woolly mammoth hunt,
00:07:23.300 that's not going to be enough.
00:07:29.300 So let them have their victory.
00:07:31.300 Let them have their millennial celebrations.
00:07:34.300 It's been coming ever since there's a schism in the Roman Catholic Church.
00:07:41.800 Thanks, Martin Luther.
00:07:44.800 Finally, finally, it's done.
00:07:47.800 They've won.
00:07:48.800 We're all equals.
00:07:49.800 We're all atheists.
00:07:50.800 And there's nothing left to fight.
00:07:52.800 Except the fighting spirit hasn't gone away.
00:07:55.800 So, great men, I don't really know what they'll look like.
00:08:05.300 But in about five years, we will.
00:08:10.300 There's lots of glory to be had, my brothers.
00:08:12.300 Lots of glory for all of us in the coming years.
00:08:14.300 Share and share alike.
00:08:16.300 Irini out.
