Various conservative pundits’ lack of comprehension about current events have long passed the point where they could be honestly ignorant. I am slowly concluding that their behavior is not due to purely human influences. The American Empire is truly, capital-E Evil, which means the devil will protect it by any (spiritual) means necessary.
MGTOW is a fading concept. It hasn’t failed, as if it was some kind of cunning plan. It has simply become mandatory. Today’s fisking subject is a white man as hated by society as me, but he’s hooked upon the Lie to defend that society at all costs. Preferably mine.
The Right’s MGTOW Political Strategy
h ttps://www.highly-respected.com/p/the-rights-mgtow-political-strategy
By Scott Greer, 24 January 2024
When a man calls himself “highly respected”, he might be desiring social proof a little more than is healthy.
When faced with insurmountable political problems, right-wing internet pundits can’t resist the urge to cry out: RETREAT. The task is so vast, the myriad problems so intractable, that they simply give up.
He used the word “insurmountable” correctly, but I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
Instead of advising their followers to engage tactically and prudentially with the world around them, they do the opposite: they tell them to withdraw from it and watch the world burn.
Ditto for the phrase “engage tactically”.
We recently saw this when a report revealed that whites are on track to minority status within the military. The report showed that just 44 percent of Army recruits in 2023 were white, a dramatic drop from 2019 when whites made up 56.4 percent of recruits.
Recruiter: “Dammit, another privileged white cis-boy walks in my door wanting to serve his country? I’m not allowed to reject you because your kind can do math, so here’s the deal. We cut your dick off, pimp you to Big Pharma as a guinea pig, and send you overseas so we can burn your history and culture to ash behind your back. Sign here, scumbag.”
Southern White Boy: “Umm… no.”
Recruiter: “COME BACK HERE AND DIE FOR ISRAEL, YOU UNGRATEFUL SELFISH PUTZ! LINDSEY GRAHAM WOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOU!”
Denizens of the online Right greeted this as good news. White America, they argued, is dropping out of the woke military and punishing the regime. This new data shows that white Americans have adopted that strategy. It’s claimed that since all American institutions are corrupt, it’s better to retreat than participate.
I want to snark that, but it’s tragic how Greer sees the problem yet thinks “you know what would make them stop the white man abuse? More white men to abuse.” He talks like a functional adult, not a retard, but… he’s retarded. Spiritual retardation, not mental.
“These partisans never articulate what whites or conservatives (both the mainstream and dissident right advocate this position) are supposed to do after withdrawal. It’s just assumed that something good will happen if we all leave the military, the universities, the cities, the corporations, etc.
Specifically, we assume the abuse will stop if we distance ourselves from our abusers. It’s a high-risk, radical plan, but the anecdotal evidence of it working is becoming hard to dismiss.
In an earlier time, male activists fighting feminism adopted a similar strategy for their movement. They called it Men Going Their Own Way (MGTOW).
They had a simple theory: if enough men go their own way, women will be forced to change their wicked ways to beg for the men back.
I have a simple theory, too: the slaver does not allow his slaves to dream of freedom. Looking at you, Greer. You have to know, if you’ve looked at all, that you’re misrepresenting MGTOW.
Despite the MGTOW movement’s efforts, American women have not ditched feminism. If anything, they’ve doubled-down on it in the absence of any GOOD MAN to marry. They certainly aren’t begging the MGTOWers to wife them up. MGTOW in practice doesn’t lead to the social revolution its adherents envision. It just leaves its adherents bitter, alone, and without a family to call their own.
Not bitter, Scotty. You don’t truly appreciate peace & quiet until you’ve had a fling with a Cluster-B.
Which he has. This is a good time to mention Greer’s backstory. Unlike most Cuckservatives, he DID take his own advice. Greer was an editor at the Daily Caller who discussed conservative topics on Radix Journal under a pseudonym. Atlantic Magazine doxxed him in Sept. 2018.

Scott Greer, a former writer and editor for the Daily Caller, has reportedly cut his ties with the conservative website after being outed as a contributor to a white supremacist blog.
According to the Atlantic — which uncovered Greer’s writings for the white supremacist Radix Journal blog under the pen name Michael McGregor — Greer made the decision to walk away from the Caller after being confronted with the Atlantic’s reporting.
In a statement to the Atlantic, Greer acknowledged his writing for Radix Journal — a blog founded by Richard Spencer.
“In my early twenties when it appeared our only mainstream options were Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, I was attracted to more radical ideas and expressed them under the name Michael McGregor at Radix Journal,” Greer wrote. “As the political situation has evolved in recent years, so have my views. That said, I do not apologize for honestly stating what I believed to be correct at the time, unless everyone must apologize every time they change their opinion.”
Dude, you apologized. Standing your ground would have used considerably fewer words.
Greer added that he hasn’t written for Radix Journal since 2015, and claimed that the Caller was unaware of his contributions to the white supremacist blog.
“I already stepped down as an editor from The Daily Caller in June to focus on writing a book,” Greer wrote, in his statement to the Atlantic. “I am now resigning any affiliation with The Caller. However, I will continue to promote my views without any shame or regret.”
Which is it? “I did nothing wrong” or “here’s my scalp and a promise to be your easy punching bag forever”?
Greer responded to his doxxing by retreating. Now he’s trying to come back in an industry that hates him, mainly because it’s safe to hate him after he showed a yellow belly.
That puts his “retreat doesn’t work, we must engage them on their terms” post in context. Retreat didn’t work for Greer because he never intended to quit. MGTOWs quit; they don’t pine for their girls. Would-be soldiers move on to different careers; they don’t wait for the recruiter to contact them with a better offer. But Greer retreated in hope that his enemies would still respect him in the morning.
Today, he directs his failure at us. “Retreat won’t solve your problems! (because it didn’t solve mine.)” Actually it will, Scott, because most MGTOWs have nothing to either gain or defend.
That is why he’s spiritually retarded. He craves acceptance & status, and the good guys have none to offer. Thus, he lied to himself that engaging on his enemies’ terms will somehow work out well for him, because the alternative is honest work, and now it’s our turn to be lied to.
There are many similarities here between the MGTOWers and the Right’s withdrawal strategy. (We’ll call it “Whites Going Their Own Way”: WGTOW). Both think you can force your target to change their behavior through your absence. Both fantasize that their current enemies will beg them to come back. And both think retreat is the best solution to their woes. But like MGTOWers, the people who retreat are the ones most harmed by this strategy.
He’s talking about himself. Appeasement != walking away, Scott. Find honest work. Find your worth in Christ, not in journalism.
The military could easily adjust to the lack of white recruits by attracting more immigrants (legal and illegal) to the ranks. They may not be as good of soldiers, but they’ll provide the bodies the Army needs.
Two words: McNamara’s Folly.
Most importantly, the new Americans won’t care about the DEI agenda or other woke elements. They’ll be content soldiers waiting for their citizenship. It would be terrible if our military turned into a foreign horde led by left-wing bureaucrats. It’s not like the Right has an apparatus to resist the military either.
Terrible how, exactly? If the Regime intends to turn our armed forces into a domestic army of occupation… and they do, both Greer and I can see it… then giving them total control over our behavior and safety would do jack all to thwart them. They wouldn’t have to leave the barracks to take us out.
And I would miss my dick.
While there are good reasons to avoid signing up for the woke military, it’s far worse to hand it over to our enemies. The solution to this problem needs to come from the civilian leadership. A second-term Trump must dedicate himself to rooting out the rot in the military and make it a more attractive prospect to white Americans. But if Biden wins another term, plummeting white recruitment would not be a good thing. Like feminists with MGTOWers, the military will just find others to take the place of whites.
He’s right, but he doesn’t know how right he is.
And those new soldiers will hold zero loyalty to the historic American nation. Their only loyalty will be to the liberal bureaucrats who pay them.
In other words, nothing has changed since Sherman’s March To the Sea.
I despise men who call for a strongman to take control. They’ll get what they want, absolution of moral responsibility, which will open a door to spiritual corruption far worse than Greer’s outsourced, fragile ego.
The reason God puts us under evil rulers is so we’ll take moral responsibility for ourselves under duress. God doesn’t want slaves. He wants partners, in character not power. It’s one thing to be given a list of rules. It’s another to understand WHY the rules, and proceed to internalize, improvise, and adapt them. Adversity is cruel and unfair… I’m there, too… but it proves who we are to the spiritual realm.
One might call that a… spectacle.
That’s why MGTOWs never advocate beyond “take back you life”. Once you do have your life back… it’s yours. You decide what’s next. Alas, many people would rather be slaves forever than face the existential horror of choices with consequences.
It’s not just the military that’s a victim of WGTOW. Universities are another notable example of withdrawal. Whites are disappearing from our elite universities. Johns Hopkins University’s Class of 2026 is only 16 percent white. There are more Hispanic and Asian students at the elite school. It’s a similar story at many other schools. The deans want fewer whites at the prestigious colleges; should white Americans give them what they want by refusing to apply?
Universities actively discriminate against white applicants, so there is a reason why fewer whites attend post-secondary school. But many young white men are choosing not to go, regardless of the discrimination.
No grown man should be that tone-deaf. “They will never let you in! Why won’t you try anyway?” I dunno, maybe I could do something else? that doesn’t involve begging my enemies for mercy? so I can go back to my cushy gig at the Daily Caller?
White males are a declining demographic in American higher education. Sixty-one percent of college students are now women. The drop among men is most apparent among white men, who used to be the majority of college students.
In other news, “why is the smartest and most forward-thinking demographic avoiding the academic-industrial complex?” suggests a few provocative answers, such as ‘return on investment’ and ‘minimum safe distance’.
Many on the Right celebrate this data. They want whites to go to trade school instead. But a Wall Street Journal report last year found that most of these young men going their own way have no real plan. They just don’t feel like going to college and are stuck doing retail or menial labor instead. They certainly aren’t going to trade school.
The natural-born slave is frightened that freemen often don’t have their entire lives planned out. It’s a consequence of not living in an institutional bubble. I have no idea where I’ll be in forty years because I’ll never climb into the pod. Heck, I’d prefer to end up headless in a mass grave of saints, than coddled in a fully funded nursing home. I saw what they did to the elderly during the Plandemic.
So what are all these Whites Going Their Own Way up to? Apparently no good. The report on the Army’s recruitment woes reports that one issue with attracting heartlanders is that many can’t qualify for service. Many are obese, suffer from drug addiction, or are otherwise unfit to serve.
First they’re hated by their own elders, then they’re shamed for not thriving. This might be one of those pesky “cause and effect” situations.
Conservatives who advocate for withdrawal haven't taken proper stock of contemporary America. There’s no organization, no “secessionist” movement, no rebellious enclave, nor even a separatist identity for them to adopt. It’s just disconnected individuals saying they don’t like the woke military and work at Walmart. That’s hardly a Gandhian revolution in the making.
Again, Greer is talking about himself. “I must accept my enemies’ terms! If I don’t, I’ll end up working at Walmart! No good will come of me choosing to be easily forgotten! The world needs my highly respected advice!”
Another influence on the right-wing psyche comes from Watchmen. In the graphic novel and film, the anti-hero Rorschach delivers a famous rant on what he will do when society collapses:
“This city hates me because it belongs to me. The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and I'll look down and whisper "Follow me to safety"… and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout "Fuck you, Daddy!"“
Some liberties were taken with that quote. The better to drive home my point, that we aren’t locked in here with them… we can leave.
Conservatives see themselves as these characters. One day, the regime will beg the un-woke to come back and save them from their overflowing toilets. But the BASED tradesmen with plungers in hand will look down and say “No.”
Or say “three hundred bucks an hour,” and all the whores and politicians will shout “Fuck you! You didn’t attend Harvard! We swim in this shit!”
The military and the universities, like all American institutions, need serious reforms. But total abandonment doesn’t produce desirable results. It does the opposite, giving our enemies more power in America while we retreat to the hinterlands and hope the regime begs for us back. Newsflash: they won’t beg for us back. They’ll just find inferior replacements to do the job and be fine with it, leaving white people as the new serf caste in America.
If there’s nothing exceptional about being white then Greer is correct. Here’s the thing, though: they began our demographic replacement when we WERE willing to serve them.
They aren’t doing this because our absence forced them to. They hate us and want us dead. They won’t take us back at any price.
They hate Greer and want him dead, too. But he thinks they’ll take him back, if he just negotiates the correct price.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
― Samuel Adams
