I have a problem with being polite to people who I feel are beneath me. I can do it, but it's unpleasant, like taking a shower in your own piss. Being the slick tranny businessman I am, the only time I am nice to people I don't like the look of is when I am about to acquire something valuable of theirs.

But I may be realising the error of my ways. I was at the bar yesterday with a girl from work. Trust me, she is as cold-hearted capitalist as they come: when we are on a project together, she combines my slick tranny-like persona without being an actual tranny; a potent mix. Suddenly, two American girls came over and both heard me cutting glass with my English accent.

One was very attractive, smart, and evocatively dressed. I don't know what the other one looked like because she was ugly. Or what her personality was like for that matter. But one thing was obvious: the great oak tree of genetics hadn't dropped her a completely healthy acorn.

But then something strange happened. My friend was being nice to this girl. She engaged with her, laughed at her par-for-the-course jokes and with some sincerity kept her quite amused. It suddenly dawned on me: what if we were all nice to each other? Not uncritical, nor egalitarian, but rather a kind of permanent cordiality? Jesus spent his whole career being nice, and he got a book written about him - by God!

I often see the comments under these posts (most of the time under Alex's or Sofia's) and I see some people willing to forego courtesy upon having found a moron or someone with a contrary or differing outlook. I'm probably just as guilty. But life is too holy to dismiss someone who has picked up different ideas than you about immigration or capitalism.

If someone just tells me to fuck off I'll be pretty annoyed.

I don't blame women for slowly taking over society through feminist policies. Western men are getting weak compared to their counterparts in other parts of the world. They've been domesticated by the welfare State, demonized by Marxism, and confused by post-Modernism. Since we at Corrupt represent a New Right movement that rejects all three of these Western diseases, we refuse to be instilled by feelings of guilt, fear and paranoia.

Guilt

Psychological pattern: Self-imposed ideas and principles keeping you from acting out urges, desires and will power.

Stereotypical comment: "I'm sorry man, I can't do it, because X won't let me!"

While he rags on guys, what about the girls? Many guys are turned into pussies because young women are just inhuman in their cruelty towards guys. Christian females today are certainly not very Christian I can tell you that for certain from all the easy lays I've had from those "good girls", good girls are some of the most repressed, and hence the most kinky they are just brimming with all that pent up sexual energy, many christian females are among the MOST likely to give it up as quickly as possible.

So men should remain passive and not strive for virtues because women won't let us? That's not a justification, that's an excuse to remain on the bottom. Of course women will tramp on you, and of course Christian women will screw you over; you're weak. People around you will sense it and take advantage of you. Grow up, take charge of your life. Do you want to end up as some kind of pussy hippie with an ugly, whiny bitch to wife who'll harass you until you die?

Fear

Psychological pattern: Self-insecurity, and as a result, inherent pessimism to any form of self-assertive action. Often leads to defensive behavior.

Stereotypical comment: "Wow, that's a confident person with opinions, and I'm not, so let's gang up and hate her for it!"

Now I know where my opinions come from, some chick in university with no credentials who thinks she is unique cause she writes for CORRUPT and clearly has a personality complex due to the way she dresses and acts.

You have no class. Why would you let someone control your opinions? You control them, unless you're a retard. Obviously Sofia's got academic credentials--what do you got, more than beauty talk? I expect you've got a psychology degree at minimum, since you're playing Freud based on how someone dresses and acts. The truth is that you're another feeble guy who don't know what you want, what you believe in, or what you should fight for. Because if you did, you wouldn't waste time throwing monkey shit around here, right?

Paranoia

Psychological pattern: The idea that people constantly try to hurt you and make you feel bad, which in turn ends up hurting you and making you feel bad.

Stereotypical comment: "I really would like to save our culture, but it's basically hopeless, because the Jews control my people!"

Read the Talmud sometime, you cretin. Read Jews, in their own words.

It's safe to throw conspiracy theories around, because what you in fact do is casting the blame on a group without stating any facts whatsoever. It's a rhetorical move, but it doesn't impress me, nor anyone else whose IQ is equal to or above Western European standard. Instead of taking a handful of positive visions and at least making some of them reality, paranoid men regard themselves as victims of a group more successful than them. It's a mind-game: I can't beat X, so I'll keep saying X keeps me from doing good, therefore I have a moral argument against why I'm not doing good. Don't be fooled by this; it is laziness camouflaged as insight. Powerless people are sometimes sad, but powerless people who try to convert others to their cause is a societal problem. Cut them off.

I don't have a problem with taking a stab at psychological types manifested among our readership now and then. I don't hate anybody, I just believe in exposing negative behavior, calling it out in public, and giving examples of it. I don't believe people who manifest bad behavior are completely lost. They grew up in a decadent society that offers them too much safety, protection and propaganda. They need to learn to stand on their own. When you can manage a full time job, a family, a house, and at least push one civil movement forward, you won't even have the time to waste your life on guilt, fear or paranoia. You'll be too lucky to be alive as a man, as a Western citizen, and as a human being of the 21st Century.

I met an old Iranian friend this evening, and in passing by, he mentioned that it's hard to get in touch with me since I'm "anti-Facebook." I'm not really against Facebook (find my public account here). In fact, I see a lot of people using it to keep in touch with old friends, which is awesome, but we all know the pitfalls of social networking. You end up spending five hours a day blurting out stuff like: "I am now taking a dump," "These are my 999 favorite groups" or "I just broke up with my girlfriend, can someone send me funny YouTube videos?."

See me, talk to me, confirm me. WASTE - OF - TIME people, and you know it.

I'm quite baffled by the whole social networking deal, because I've always preferred dealing with people personally in real life than to send them lots of online messages. I believe young people spend too much time commenting each others personalities instead of getting involved with civil organizations. Start up a football club for kids, learn to play folk music with elder people, join a cooking school, support your local church, or help homeless cats find a home. Do something with your lives. In 50 years you'll be half-way dead and ready to be conserved by the welfare program for elderly.

If you need Facebook, keep it, it's not evil, but don't use it as an excuse to disconnect from society. Life is here and now. No one is going to save the world in a lifetime, so we need to look at our communities and help each other out as best as we can. That can't be done with a majority of people too busy farting around online. We need to meet new people, learn new things, challenge ourselves, harvest skills, find jobs and form families. Facebook is like HTML and genitals. They're tools, made to be used sensibly. I know you can spam the hell out of my account whenever I piss you off. But can you produce something of worth to someone other than yourself? Prove it; change your life.

People know that I am against sex education in school. To me it's simple: sexuality and sexual values should be taught to children by parents and their communal culture, not by public messengers of the government. The rest is up to individuals when they're experimenting in their teens. The biological aspect of sexuality should be taught in biology class based on scientific facts, but there shouldn't be any lessons concerning values, politics or lifestyle based upon those facts.

What happens when the government teaches our children about sexuality? They indoctrinate them with whatever ideological trend is popular at the moment. In Sweden it's been ultra-liberalism since the late 60's. It's a fact that gay and queer lobby groups are co-writing the biology books to suit their propaganda. Our teachers even hand out condoms from those lobby groups in class. And you say public education is not politically biased? When I went through sex education in school, I learned the following:

• "Here, have a condom!" (this indirectly suggests it's normal for 14-year-olds to have sex, as long as they're protected).
• "Can anyone here give suggestions on how to spice up sex life?" (this not only suggests the above, but really excludes a majority of the teens in the class room who haven't yet had any such experience).
• Homosexuality is just as morally acceptable as heterosexuality.
• Abortion is an important human right for women.

Read carefully: I'm not saying either of these suggestions are right or wrong. I'm saying it shouldn't be up to our education system to teach our children about them. Just as I teach my children certain values, certain lifestyle choices, certain moral behavior and certain cultural ideals, I have the right to be a dominant influence in how they perceive sexuality. I don't trust teachers or politicians to ensure that my future daughter avoids whoring like her friends and my future boy avoids ending up paying alimony to some dumb lay he screwed over when he was drunk.

Most young people, especially teenagers, are not capable of thinking for themselves or withstanding peer and teacher pressure. If an authority they trust say heterosexuality is oppressive or that whoring is good, they're gonna buy it. I remember gay lobby groups coming to college and trying to persuade us to convert to liberal sexuality. Most of my friends were brought up traditionally; they called the teacher a fag and ran him out. Some were immigrants and were taught to not even accept homosexuality.

Critics will say there are Christian families who profess extreme forms of chastity, or extremists who rally against homosexuals. So? Let them do it. Who are you, or the government, to say what they ought to teach their children? If the attitudes have no place in society as a whole, or if they're simply not in line with reality, chances are the children will grow up to dismiss them later on. Either way it's not any central power's job to babysit parents nor their children about this. The government's incapable of being unbiased on these issues, and regardless if what it teaches ought to be perceived as "good," it's brainwashing and has no place in public education.

A few years back when I began working out regularly, people told me the gym thing was a trend. I didn't really believe it until recently. It's obvious that at least Sweden is starting to embrace gym work out. Never before have cities offered so many gyms (in the city where I live we have no less than nine different gyms), people are crowding the machines after work, and there are suddenly TV commercials about dietary supplements. Getting strong have gone mainstream.

This is most definitely a positive health trend that I embrace, for the following reasons:

• Guys feel robbed of their manhood thanks to feminism instilling male guilt. That's why they go to gyms to improve their physique and impress their social surroundings. Is that a problem? As long as you understand that self-confidence isn't located in muscles, no it isn't. I hope it intimidates other men and I hope it baffles whiny women who'd rather let all men become wimps, drowning in their own shit after work.
• The health benefits of using gym machines and lifting weights are serious. Ask Bhetti, Martin or Frank. Resistance training is the most effective way of burning fat and gaining strength. Some will say that body building is damaging to the heart and other parts of your body. That might be true for extreme work out, but the truth is that less than 5 % of the men and women who regularly go to the gym will ever be close to serious body building physique.
• It changes the way you eat. Even if you'd want to eat industrially prepared lunches, you couldn't, because they don't contain the necessary nutrients for your body to recover after work out. Ask big guys and girls what they're eating: chicken, fish, milk protein, vegetables and pasta/potatoes/rice. And unless they're handicapped, they're cooking the food themselves. That's better than the average modern blockhead who barely knows how to make fish soup in the microwave.
• People learn to think in terms of consistency. You can't maintain a good physique without hard and regular work. Young people are flaky. Teach them the virtue of self-discipline and maybe they'll actually go out and do something with their lives when they quit school.

We are biologically adapted to a lifestyle where most of the time is spent preparing, cooking and eating food. If it sounds boring, compare it to the bureaucratic tasks at work or the slow brainwashing in public education. Food is hilariously interesting and exciting, because it teaches you to use your senses and practical skills, similar to music and sex. Training and food go hand in hand. Continue to read my blog to understand why and how.

Having tried out most conceivable forms of housing - living with family, living with grandmother, living alone, living in dorm, sharing apartment with friend etc., I've thought about how most young people prefer to live alone these days. In Sweden in particular people want big space, all by themselves. Pure lonewolfing. At some point you begin to wonder why.

Young people before their mid-20s, who are not yet in a serious long-term relationship, should not live alone. They grow accustomed to their own silly drama details without recognizing a larger social whole. That whole can be anything from a friend to a small collective. Everyone is busy blaming socialism for society's problems without recognizing that the reason civil responsibility is declining has to do with our housing patterns. We live lonely lives isolated from each other, demanding the world adapting to us instead of us trying to adapt and master the world.

If you can set aside the small problems that occur when sharing housing with someone, you'll find an immense richness in sharing every day moments, helping each other to mend broken things, partying together, leaving each other alone when that's needed. Collective housing strengthens community spirit, social responsibility, independent initiative and common solutions to common problems. These features are essential in any culture that wishes to escape the pacifying effects of welfare socialism.

While private space is one of the beauties of modern life, I seriously challenge all young people reading this to dare sharing housing with an interesting person, friend or "trusted stranger." Discover that sharing life with other people is more rewarding and fun than having a big, lonely apartment. The welfare State can only begin to lose its power over our lives, once we start building civil bonds and acting in the interest of a larger social whole. Sharing space with other people is a journey that enables you to develop such a lifestyle.

The home is your sanctuary. This is where you go to rest, heal and relax after having made it through another work day. At least this is how it used to be, until people began to intellectualize private life with ideology. Now there is a whole army of feminists who demand every aspect of house work to be organized around ideological principles.

I have in the past, and will continue to reject any woman who wants to divide up all housework equally according to some scheme, ideological or not. The reason why is not really ideological but practical: I simply don't have the energy nor the time to complicate the way I live and work at home. I have more important things to worry about than how many times I've made the dishes, if I vacuum cleaned this week or not, if it's my turn to buy groceries etc. I just do it when I feel it needs to be done, and don't expect anyone to bother or care.

People who want to enforce equality at home have too much free time on their hands, because if they managed children and a full time job, they'd realize that things simply need to be done. Ideally, both genders help out, each according to ability, not some holy principle set above reality. Even though it'd be amusing to see these women stuff their hands down drain pipes and drag out seven years of shit, it doesn't cut it for me. I don't care if they wanna do it or not. Someone has to, and if it's me or someone else who takes responsibility, I don't care.

Gender war is tearing us apart--we need to think in terms of compatibility, and in that game man and woman are rarely equal, but always collaborating for a higher goal: to make things work.

A world of shit, known as our beautiful planet, has taught me a simple lesson:

"You dumb guinea"

"How the hell was I supposed to know he had a knife"

"Never trust a nigger"

"He could have been white"

"Never trust anyone!"

(The French Connection)

Why? Because with prosperity, unless constantly reminded of reality, people slowly breed corruption and filth. I realized this years ago when it was cool to walk around with A.C.A.B. shirts and mess with the cops on weekends. At that time I saw it as a working class condition. The "poor" people rising up against a wicked society. Or so my German friend believed, who smoked weed instead of going to school.

I tended to agree, recognizing the bullshit we were taught by teachers every day, until the people who used to deal him dope, suddenly also began to sell him stereo equipment. Where from? Take a good guess. The rich kids' neighborhood. It was then that I could see it wasn't a working class condition; it was middle class faggotry, because while it implied The Authority was the problem, the power structures in society were simply responding to violence and crime. Those people selling stereos and weed probably did more serious crime than just living a Hollywood thug life. So who was the Bad Guy now?

This is what a corrupt middle class doesn't understand. It is breeding problems, because its values have lost touch with reality. It's easy to sit in a class room, recite Foucault and complain about inequality, police violence and class differences, but in reality we're all contributing to the decline of society by engaging in that very same process of filth. We buy filthy weed/alcohol, we consume filthy products, we reinforce filthy propaganda from television. We believe everything we're told, yet we insist on attacking the institutions that protect us from living in a third world gutter.

Yet all the middle class can do is to whine about modern problems. I couldn't care less about "modern problems," and here's why:

Patriarchy: The white, Western, middle class male invented and built almost every road, every house, every theory, every bit of literature you've ever encountered in your life. Without him, you're nothing.

Income inequality: For every piece of careless immigration policy, minimum wage system and union mob you advocate, you'll effectively lower the wages for yourself and your parents, who'll continue to suck either government pussy (Democrats/socialists) or multicorporation cock (Republicans/conservatives).

Climate change: You want the infrastructure, you want the prosperity, you want the lifestyle you're in right now--you are a walking environmental disaster. No matter how much toilet paper you recycle, you'll never change this simple truth.

Iraq/Gaza War: Every super power tries to moderate fundamentalist enemies before they take over. If you'd studied history, you'd know, but since you believe we just all need to get along with everybody and have a giant UN-party, you're lucky at all to see the day, every day. The people who live in these countries don't agree with you, and they don't need your sympathy. That's why they carry guns.

Racism: One camp thinks white people are going to go extinct like dinosaurs by 2050, another camp thinks white people are going to oppress every single non-white individual in the world by 2050. The truth: we're just not going to get along, so society will decline as a result and everyone will complain and feel unjustly treated. Diversity? Ha ha ha!

Capitalism: The crisis of capitalism? We've already been through the Cold War. Not even China or Russia believes in socialist economies anymore. The problem is not the system itself, but what values we attach to it. If nations are greedy and kill their economies, they are motivated by wrong values. Money, we'll always need, unless you want to go back trading copper for dolphins.

You cannot trust the public, because it doesn't know what it says or does, and as follows, you cannot really trust the leadership that panders to that same public. It's a vicious cycle of stupidity. But blaming the People or the Authority doesn't work either. Instead, trust yourself, find companions, create bonds, and make them last. Find a community you belong to and feel safe in. You don't want to smoke weed collected by the same gangster hoodlums who want to rob you tomorrow, or vote for a party that leaves you and your parents with less money and more trouble by the next election.

You want what's best for your immediate surrounding in a world of shit. Get back to work.

A friend of mine, worked up over some guy who had hassled him, once began describing something that you very well could call the start of an interesting lifestyle:

...I just wanna promote capitalism, get my black belt in Taekwondo, finish business school, and pick up beautiful girls...

Why not? Sounds much like the kind of lifestyle I try to convey on Corrupt.

Everybody wants to call themselves something or be a part of some group. I guess that's how human nature works. But that doesn't mean that whatever group you're part of or what opinions you hold really matter. I argue that much of what people believe doesn't matter at all, either because they don't act on their beliefs, or the ideas they hold simply have no practical bearing on everyday life.

One of the brightest students I met was a hardcore Communist. Every day in class he wore a Lenin suit with the Soviet symbol. Eventually we had a chat and it turned out he was both very friendly and intellectually sharp. When it came down to it, it didn't really matter that I was on the opposite side of the political scale; we pretty much reached the same conclusions about society, and agreed on similar philosophical conclusions.

If you believe evil polar bears are secretly controlling the world, why should I care? If you're friendly, I'll still like you. If you're a dumbass, you're dumb either way.

To be certain, people in general take their beliefs very seriously. I've been attacked several times for the opinions I express publically, but this has less to do with politics and more to do with human psychology. People want to fit in and if they see someone that doesn't, that's a threat to their homogeneous views. And so that person is attacked until it caves in or runs off. It's one of the most horrific features of crowdism, but if you truly understand how pointless it is to go around caring about what other people say or believe, you'll start to look at outcomes, e.g. what really goes on in reality. Let's leave the rest to our dreams.

The world's a playground. You know that when you are a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.

I do want to take guitar lessons. I do want to learn how to fly. Yes, I would like to learn Korean.

Jim Carrey plays a banker who says yes to life; this means according to a personal development guru that he must say yes to every opportunity that presents itself.

I consider this movie a fun and funny must watch before making your New Year's resolutions. If you've ever liked Jim Carrey's style, you must watch him in this.

Life is limited. I don't know about you but I feel my tenuous mortality and the encroaching passage of time. Nevermind the unambiguous prospect of death: I can feel the prospects of responsibility, duty, family, growing and tying me down in ways I won't predict and ways I already feel. We need to live every moment, have stories to tell.

You need to make every moment matter. And what matters is what matters to you. Living a good life, a constructive life, one where you grow, one where you've experienced as much as you can, learned different things or became an undisputed master of a field.

You could live life like you'll live to a 100. A responsible, future-oriented and community conscious human being. You could live life like you'll never see tomorrow. Spreading joy, having fun and repenting now. These two attitudes aren't mutually exclusive. They have something in common: make every moment matter by not wasting it.

Don't waste. Don't 'kill' time. Time is too precious to kill whether it's your last moment or a foundation for your future. Don't waste it on ill-health, on hurting yourself and others, on cheap experiences, on doing nothing. Quality. If you're going to try a smoke, make it worth it. Smoke a top class blend, not the cheapest cigarette.

If you're drowning in boredom and ennui, if every movement seems hardly worth it, if you're not feeling purpose running through your arteries? You're doing it wrong.

Inertia and fear shouldn't hold you back. Fill your life with activity, philanthropy, friends, learning, work and experiences. Summon the energy and quiet the insiduous voice of antisocial laziness. Savour the silent moments all the more for their rarity.

Embrace being human.

It's what I tell myself to get me out of bed. It's what I'm telling you. It's what Alex has said too.

Embrace living.

Alex has said previously how aerobic exercise has been proven ineffective. The most effective way to get rid of fat and increase your overall health is to build up your muscle mass.

The ideas behind this can be simplified to be that the more muscle you have, the more energy it needs. This is the fundamental reason why men on average have higher energy requirements than women at baseline; testosterone-driven differences in muscle mass. If you build up your muscle: not only do you look good and have better strength, you are increasing the amount of energy you consume by doing the same things you normally do.

At its basics, it's not a hugely difficult concept. I had a chance to talk to a few male friends and colleagues about it recently. The conversation somehow went into weight loss, usually after noting the changes I'd made to my own diet for different reasons. I was surprised at the resistance to it I got. I felt the difference stemmed from one important thing: a concern with losing weight as an absolute.

A common argument presented to me in defense was that muscle weighed more than fat. Well... so? That's a fact to note when you're having a workout, so that you aren't deceived by the scales. In itself, losing weight isn't an end goal. Being healthy, looking good and feeling good is the goal, right? What do the scales and balances you weigh yourself on have to do with it?

When I mention weight-lifting, I instantly get a worried reaction: 'you aren't turning into a muscle builder, are you?' Well, no, I can't really. I'd have to try much harder. I don't have the right hormone. Building up muscle is more than natural for a man. You can take it easy and save money by investing in a couple of weights and doing some basic exercises based on youtube videos. Upper body, lower body then abdomen or core. You can pretty much do it while watching television.

When you're committed to a pretty rigid food schedule like me, it's pretty interesting to see what'll happen when you don't eat. Since last week, I began to exercise a soft form of fasting by only eating maybe three times a day. Sometimes I went five hours without food. One evening and night I ate nothing at all, save for glasses of water. I also cut down on certain exercise by 50 percent.

The physical results are as follows. I've lost some mass on the chest. I've become much leaner around the stomach and have thus more accentuated abs. I have lost little to no mass on back, arms and thighs. I've begun to experience sleeping problems and sometimes feel unusually low on energy. I also get tipsy more easily.

The bottom line is that it's extremely important to eat correctly when you lift weights, maybe not so much in terms of what you eat, but how much you eat and when. My week-long fasting not only proves how fast your physique can change when you don't consume enough energy. It also highlights how the body interacts with the mind and how important it is to eat before you go to sleep. I don't want to get any leaner, and so I currently recharge with loads of raw spiced salmon and beer.

The goal of feminists is kind of hard to define these days, for while they promote freedom for women to do what they want, they mustn't "want" to do any activity associated with traditional gender roles. In other words, if you're a woman, you can do whatever you want, as long as it's not cooking, taking care of children, cleaning the house, following your husband's advice, or shopping clothes and make-up. This means that modern women gradually will basically fail at any of these things due to lack of practice. If that is the goal of feminism, it's going to make men more powerful than ever.

For this reason alone I cannot support a war against feminism. I belong to the group of men and women who want the traditional gender roles back in society, but what if your woman is too incompetent in certain fields? Since we met, I've basically let my woman do the cooking, except when we've cooked together (recommended activity for bonding). The problem is that she's not really a good cook. I've spent time trying to teach her the basics, but she's simply not that handy. She's also pretty lazy at cleaning and taking care of kids.

At this point I've realized I don't really want to force her into a traditional gender role. I can cook better food twice as fast to fulfill all my nutrition needs without any of her help. I can clean the apartment quicker than her, and I'm usually good with children. Why force work upon someone that obviously isn't suited for it? In this respect I totally agree with feminists: if women can't handle their traditional duties, they should stay out and focus on at least bringing home some cash to the family. More accurately, I'm a Conservative/classic liberal: I don't need the government to tell me and my woman how to live at home. We manage this ourselves as adults. So from now on, I'll be the goddamn chef in this relationship.

People can be anti-social in two ways. One in which it's socially acceptable, for instance if you waste your time on computer games, dress subcultural, criticize Israel, refuse to vote, or hate classical music. What Martin would call "nerds" would fall under this category, as would pseudo-rebels, anarchists, feminists and any type of people who pretend to be different within the social frame of modern liberal society.

The other anti-social method is however socially unacceptable: being proud of your athletic body, telling dumb people they shouldn't be allowed to vote, following the Christian Right movement, suggesting certain ethnic groups are annoying, upholding capitalism as an ideal, embracing gender inequality, calling Obama an overrated errand monkey etc.

I designate myself anti-social in the same way Louis-Ferdinand Céline, Plato and Nietzsche confronted society with uncomfortable truths no one wants to talk about. I believe it's important to be anti-social in a practical, slightly individualist sense. If my friend is becoming a nerd with games and don't dare to ask someone out, I will tell him he's a loser. If a fat person makes a joke about my lifestyle, I'll have that person for lunch. If someone tries to enforce ideological conformity, I declare myself a warrior against democracy. Offensive opposition.

Being anti-social in the Platonic sense means trolling the hell out of your surroundings, for the fun of it. It also means enforcing private space unto public space. Make the environment your environment. Create space for yourself where you are in charge and actively defend it. Mark your stance and never back down. Say what you believe is accurate and right, regardless if it's uncomfortable or will make people upset. Depending on how you handle this, you will gain some enemies, but a whole lot more allies, and lots of self-confidence to help you achieve what you want in life.

Sometimes you meet tiny guys who come up to you at bars or at the gym and want to talk about body building. I guess they gotta be real bored, because when I'm working out or hanging out at bars, I'm too busy doing other things to talk about exercise. Anyhow, one of these guys bugged me this weekend at a bar, and since he knew a friend of mine, I gave him a few answers. I suspect some of them surprised him quite a bit.

"How much do you bench?" Not that much, I told him. "But how come you're so big and I ain't?" There are a couple of factors to keep in mind:

• If you bench a lot, that's great, but if you just perform one or two sets with few reps and then consider your work done, don't be surprised if you don't gain much muscle mass. It's not really a question of how much you bench, but of your exercise program as a whole. You can't max 15 reps x 3 sets, so why max out at all?
• You're not going to gain weight just because you drink gainers. In fact, I tried oversizing the portion of my gainer. No real gain. Gainers just help your body quickly heal up after hard work out so that you can--that's right, go home and eat. Fail eating, fail building mass.
• If you are already slim by default and want to become big, chances are you're like me and have a high metabolic rate. This means you'll have to eat more than other people to gain any mass at all. You'll also have to eat more often (see my food odyssey for example).
• Consistency is the key to success in every field. Many guys visit the gym irregularly and expect to see fast results. It doesn't work that way, unless you have superior genes. Especially the tiny guys who want to get big quickly often see muscle building as some kind of socialization activity instead of what it really is: a lifestyle.

I didn't feel like preaching to him what I already knew by experience. Other, more successful muscle builders could do that much better. Instead I told him he should pay more attention to cooking and less to weight. It's not merely the feeling of energetic freedom when lifting heavy things that make me want go to the gym. It's the feeling of doing a part of a larger lifestyle scheme, of fitting a performance into a bigger picture, where food, long walks and mental clarity form the philosophy of tiny becoming big.

The pattern is to me pretty obvious at this point, having worked out at several different gyms at completely different parts of the country. The guys who are really big work out a lot less than the rest of us. They take long breaks between sets and are often seen just talking with people on the bench. I could think of a bunch of reasons why this seems to be the case:

(a) They don't feel like putting on much more weight than what they already have.

(b) They train less but more often.

(c) They've reached the point where they don't need to put much energy into exercise to get good results.

(d) They've lost the spirit.

(e) They've got superior genes and thus can achieve more by doing less.

I suspect it's a mix of (b) and (e). Some people obviously have bodies that enable them to build really good muscle mass if they train right. Unfair, it might seem, but I would stress that the beauty of lifting weights is the lifestyle itself and not only the effects it has. Work hard, eat a lot, and challenge your mind. Choosing a specific way of life and following it through should be part of every man's destiny.

I've covered before why cardio work out is an overrated method of burning fat. Here's another article confirming this:

To their surprise, the researchers found that none of the groups, including the athletes, experienced “afterburn.” They did not use additional body fat on the day when they exercised. In fact, most of the subjects burned slightly less fat over the 24-hour study period when they exercised than when they did not.

Here's why:

Each of Melanson’s subjects spent 24 quiet hours in the calorimeter, followed later by another 24 hours that included an hourlong bout of stationary bicycling. The cycling was deliberately performed at a relatively easy intensity (about 55 percent of each person’s predetermined aerobic capacity).

Cycling, like much of the traditional cardio exercise programs, really only burns fat during work out session. The problem is that when you've done your running or cycling, you will still want something sugary and you'll still eat more food than usual. This means you gain at least the amount of calories you just burned:

“The message of our work is really simple,” although not agreeable to hear, Melanson said. “It all comes down to energy balance,” or, as you might have guessed, calories in and calories out. People “are only burning 200 or 300 calories” in a typical 30-minute exercise session, Melanson points out. “You replace that with one bottle of Gatorade.”

I noticed the change in metabolism as soon as I began lifting weights at the gym instead of just running or using machines. Commonly my afterburn lasts for 48 hrs, sometimes more. No wonder I eat tons of food and still cannot get enough. And my aim is to remain lean and not put on fat--the guys who just want to get insanely big have to go to McDonald's a few days a week to get by.

“If you work out at an easy intensity, you will burn a higher percentage of fat calories” than if you work out a higher intensity, Carey says, so you should draw down some of the padding you’ve accumulated on the hips or elsewhere — if you don’t replace all of the calories afterward.

This is why all serious fitness models do powerwalks every day: high-intensive training is not enough. You need low-intensive work out to get really lean. Clean the house, work in the garage, chase the kids down the hall etc. However, there's no question that resistance training beats all other popular forms of work out in terms of burning calories. Of course, exercise cannot be separated from diet. Yet, the irony is that many people who light weights end up eating "too healthy," e.g. avoiding all kinds of fatty and high-carb foods. I've been eating fatty sausages these couple of weeks and noticed increased results compared to just eating lean meat and fish. There's apparently room for experimentation.

So, to reiterate: cardio exercise is good for you, but ineffective at burning fat, since you'll simply gain all those calories again after work out. More and more people, especially women, are discovering the power and effectiveness of resistance training. Start lifting weights--it's fun, demanding, and it makes you mentally and physically powerful enough to take on any challenges in life.

As mentioned before, I don't have a any beef with most feminists. I do however accuse feminism of deconstructing male identity for Western men. Living among them it's easy to forget how faggot-ized men are becoming, and for a bad reason. They think if they just start serving women and their growing needs like the political elite tells them to, they'll be left alone. Ha ha. Time to drop the bomb.

Free nights at the club

Woman at the bar, flirts with the man next to her: Hey, I'm thirsty!

Man, so hard he wouldn't be able to walk away: I'll buy you a martini?

No you won't. No free nights for women who think they can freeride by fooling men that they're interested. They're not, they're just looking for a pimp. The next time some girl walks up to you and wants you to pay for her expenses, you tell her you would consider talking to her if she bought you a beer. And it better be a good one.

Work out as I tell you to, honey

Woman at the gym, whining to her man about how to work out: Can you help me put on these weights? No, you take that machine, I am busy. God, you're slow.

Man running errands and listening to her bullshit instead of doing some real work: How much do you want me to put on?

What is that? If my girl tried to turn me into an errand boy/conversation doll while I was building muscle, I'd ignore her completely for the entire work out, then have a 2 hour sauna session in the changing room and exchange jokes about minorities with fellow friends. If you let a woman babysit you in your own natural environment (gym = artificial jungle where strength and endurance are key to dominance), you've become a puppy. Shake it off.

Helping the ungrateful

Flirty woman asking you for the 99th favor: I have trouble with this essay, and feel sooo stupid, but maybe you, who are so smart, could help me write parts of it?

Man observing her puppy eyes, getting weak, deciding to write all her essays for five years ahead: Move aside and I'll take care of it.

Haha, first she asks you to take her to a movie, then she wants you to clean her room, cook her food, write her essays and massage her feet. Being helpful is nice but being used is only for suckers. You can help her getting started, but then you also want something in return. Tell her she should cook you a meal next Friday, and if she fails doing that, she'll get bored and try to fool another men who can't resist her pleading. Nietzsche called those people tarantulas because they destroy you to get ahead of others. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

"Gentleman"

Woman trying to play pool, but fails miserably, playing the ball over the table, hitting a tough guy standing nearby: Oh God!

Man playing with her, rushing to rescue, claiming it was he who played the ball: I am terribly sorry, it was me who did it, are you okay?

He probably is, but you're not going to impress anyone by playing knight in armor. In fact, you're a fool, because you're indirectly assuming the woman should be treated as infantile and unable to account for her own actions. She played the ball, and if she pisses of a tough guy, you can always step in between, but it's plain silly to suggest you did it. Being protective and being a father, although sharing similar functions, are not the same thing.

Oh noes, did I offend you?

Man pulling a nasty "racist" joke about blacks: ...and so they could be used as wheel chairs!

Black guy nearby, of course: Excuse me, do you think that was funny?

Woman listening to your joke: Look what you did, you upset a black person!

Man, going totally defensive: You're right, it was bad of me to say this.

Really, so why do it? There's nothing more pathetic than not standing up for what you say or do. Sure, pulling racist jokes may not suit all environments, but if you do it, don't back down. You said something bad, you may not repeat it again, but you're not going to go down on your knees and pretend to feel bad, just because some whiny chick tells you that's the "right" thing to do. Either you do it because you feel you should, or you leave it be and move on.

There is more, but I leave it at this. Please don't pardon your existence as a man. You're a testosterone-packed wolf seeking pretty legs, good food, physical challenge and lonely battles against a moronic society. And you'd be an idiot to deny yourself your identity, your needs and your expression as a man.

Democracy is popular among crowds, because although most people prefer to be led they have a really hard time admitting it to others. It would expose a great weakness in character, so they cover it up by a vote that implies they made an independent choice. This means people feel best when they are led, but pretend they're not.

This is important to understand if you want to motivate people to emulate a better lifestyle. My rule of thumb is to avoid telling people straight off that they should lose some fat and work out. Instead I focus on doing my best to cook my own food and lift weights in a way that gives clear results. I realized this is working better than I thought when the men at my dormitory, whose major interest outside of studies is to get wasted and nail random chicks, suddenly, one by one, began to work out. These were their comments:

"Are you working out? I can see. I'm going to begin as well."

"Man, I feel alcohol and girls are making me weak. I need to begin lifting weights like you."

"Do you have a gym membership at X? What does it cost? Huh. I'm going there tomorrow."

I didn't say anything to these guys, they came up to me on their own. They've seen me keeping a pretty strict diet consisting of chicken, salmon and tuna dishes, thought about what they eat (fast food pizza, hot dogs, bacon), made some comparisons, and realized they can do better. They'd never admit it, but they've seen someone manifest a different lifestyle, and now they want to be a part of it. It's called leading by example, and everyone should learn to do it. Because improving social culture works better than all government options to date.
