‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ is the ultimate fantasy of feminists - they literally never shut up about it….
@@priapulida So true, so true. I’ve known a few such women, and they really are relentlessly negative. Awful.
@@JohnnyRecently I know lol - do you remember the ones dressing up in the red capes (from The Handmaid’s Tale tv series) for the anti-Trump marches…they are completely unhinged. Totally embarrassing 😂
@@osamaobama So true. They can’t wait for the Taliban to take over 😂
Modern women and ‘ poc ‘ perpetual victims of the white man .
That’s why “ they “ concentrate the subversion on these groups.

"A book for midwit, fast-life-history-strategists, feminists."
-Edward Dutton
Put that quote on the front cover.
The Handmaid Tale is like 1984 written by a purple hair Yoko Ono
Lol
🤣😁
The author was going on about the fashist boogeyman in the USA recently, another one who ignores the current regime of insane, extreme leftism destroying what's left of the West before our very eyes. Nothing to say about the state-media complex openly grooming children to become gheyz or tr00ns. I hate these liars, they have no credibility.
@@AffectedArea looks like the american South holding on against those people is considered like the last bastion of middle age while it is probably the only normal reality in the USA
I don't remember Ono's hawking, cawing, shrieking and yowling translating as feminist.
But I was just a child at the time and she just seemed to be off.
We read this in my humanities class in high school, my teacher told us that she thought this was what the future was going to be like. That was my first red pill that things were becoming unlogically hysterical.
Your teacher was so close/yet so far off. It was Atwood's Oryx & Crake books that had accurate corpo pharma genetic manipulation dystopia future predictions
Though I doubt it'll be bio engineered teletubby race replacing humanity like Atwood writes
R S don't mind your teacher, they are part of the problem. Once you're out into the world, it will all become clearer. Don't be afraid of childbirth or meeting a nice man. It's as natural as night follows day☘🧚♂️🇮🇪
Well, at lest she didn't have you reading "Silas Marner."
@@Vapourwear Why? I saw a movie of it as a kid, and while a sad story I don't remember anything objectionable or ideological about it. In fact it had a good ending to an otherwise unfortunate life if I recall.
15% of Ed's viewers are women???
*combs hair back
"hello ladies"
Most people on UA-cam are men to begin with.
A higher percentage of female tolerance than I would expect.
I read that as “combs neck hair back”
Not so sure about that. At least 50 % of comments seem to be from women.
Hello
@@squarerootof2 they do go on...
Ed Dutton reviewing feminist literature is something I didn't know I needed in my life.
Ditto
A true ploymath!!
I am in that 15% of your viewers. As a woman I always appreciate your breakdowns of how human behavior (individual and group) actually works from a historic/evolutionary perspective. You are a breath of fresh air in a mad world.
Ah, my fellow women of culture. We meet again.
Fellow member of the 15% here. I think Dr Dutton is equal parts delightful, intelligent, and fair. I always come away having learned so much 🤯
I concur!!!
The funny thing about this is "Norah Vincent". Norah Vincent is a female that went 'undercover' as a male for 18 months -- not as a transgender or an LGBT, but to legitimately see if the 'grass-was-greener'. She joined an all male bowling team, went to all-male counseling sessions, and even went on some dates with females, though nothing physical came of it. The funny thing is that _she sucked at _*_everything_*_ that she did._ Even when it came to dating, she thought for sure that she'd do well since 'she-KNOWS-what-a-woman-wants'.... _but she was _*_wrong._* Turns out that what women *say* they want is very, very different than the reality of the situation. Displays of vulnerability and emotions were poorly received. Turns out that women want a *stoic* man that will 'be-a-rock-in-hard-times'.
She finished up her experiment and concluded that men don't have it better. She also realized and stated that she is privileged as a woman, and she was happy to return to her privileged life.
Professor -- if you haven't already, you should do a video on Norah Vincent and her findings. Perhaps you could supplement it with some other articles of females who 'transitioned' to males -- as transgenders -- and found that it was not anywhere as good as they expected it to be.
Anyhow, I mention all of ^that^ because "The Handmaid's Tale" is written by a woman, and women seemingly *cannot* see the world correctly as it pertains to societal interactions between males and females, as evidenced by Norah Vincent's study, as well as the myriad of F-t-M transgenders who quickly found that 'the-grass-ain't-greener-on-THIS-side-of-the-fence'.
a 5* comment. Hope Ed reads it and does a video on it.
I remember watching Norah and being like ''Wow, women really cannot perceive certain things that are so obvious to men. That is a problem.''
@Kyr Man
That's why women make terrible leaders.
Hear hear!
She spent time in therapy after as well. Discovering your not like Skywalker but the evil storm troopers, does a bit of a number on things like existential identity crises.
I imagine in the context of the book fertile women and high status men would form some sort of a new nobility class. I imagine the women would live in luxury and men would do anything to keep them around since they are extremely valuable.
If anything, I think infertile women in this context would be handmaidens. Meant to serve the precious fertile women in everything from dressing them to chores to childcare. Like hierarchies always do.
@@megarakadmea that would be logical but this is femcel revenge pawn
that would make more sense
it's just an anti-white book in general, as we see in adaptations
assault can actually make women infertile from scarring etc so shows how much they know
Basically what we have now, but 100% of the women experience this privilege.
@@megarakadmea I imagine that society would devolve into sex drugs and violence as the core value of being a living organism on earth, reproduction, is stripped from people entirely, meaning that vices now take over because there IS no future, and that just leads to riots which will make jealous people kill fertile women.
I'm a female viewer and find it hilarious that women read this book as if it's anything other than another self-indulgent 'ceo can't keep his hands off me!' type of fanfic. They're trying to disguise it as intellectual and empowering but it's from the same mold as all the other self insert sexual fantasies for women
Yup I don't get what's wrong with just reading and wtiting raunchy fan-fics without social commentary
Heck CEO romance is a whole subgenre and it’s obnoxious how many are flooding the market. That and Mafia romances.
@@megarakadmea
The only mafia romance I’ve read was a tragic side story in Peter F Hamilton’s “Night’s Dawn” series in which a cynical 26th century super celebrity falls in love with Al Capone’s ghost. It wouldn’t offer her much genetic advantage, however, as he’s possessing and using the body of an ordinary man.
@@eldermillennial8330 That’s more interesting I think. I don’t read them but I’m aware of them.
I stopped reading after "I'm a female"
The story has the underlying absurdity, wafer thin justification and omnipresent sexual tension that characterises pornography.
Perfect description, I thought this even when being forced to read it in Canadian high school
True but this is emotional pornography rather than sexual.
@@GayFrogsTho Always is for women.
@@GayFrogsTho Define emotional pornography. Yeah, thought not....
@@johndillermand4053 You never thought anything in high school.
The premise of the book that the women who could bear children would all be ‘low value’, doesn’t ring true; your analysis makes more sense.
I tried implementing Atwood's system on my lord of the flies darwinian gameshow island &, yeah, it doesn't really work outside of erotic feminist fantasy fiction
Though it did lead to multi season holding highscores once all the girls got bored of handmaid larping
To be honest, the book does not treat these women as " low value. ".
It's an ahistorical book, written in an ahistorical time, by an ahistorical person about an ahistorical future. Feminist theory can only exist within the protective cocoon which unprecedented wealth and technology provides. Men understand that this cocoon is fragile and temporary, because we're the ones responsible for building and maintaining it.
Without fiat currency there could be no feminism. The tech, safety and wealth aren't enough. Unless you can base everything on debt, then there's wealth enough to create and afford it.
@@parrotshootist3004 Excellently meaningless word salad.
So short form of what you are saying, without all the posturing garbage, is feminism only exists because men earn money? And that means what, exactly? Nothing, of course. Yet another misogynist who thinks faux intellectualism frightens women.
@@chancerystone4086 that's nice.
@@chancerystone4086 no. your comprehension is appalling.
Margaret Atwood lives a few miles from my place. She makes her money from Canadian school library sales and is the biggest NIMBY in Toronto.
"What, what are you going to do to me now?" - She asked her handsome kidnapper, trembling with anticipation. "I wouldn't know" - he replied, "It is YOUR dream". -- Oliver Revilo.
Idk who that is, but it's a funny quote.
@@TheJeremyKentBGross A man as based as men can be.
As a teen, I thought this was a deep book, & was a huge Margaret Atwood fan. So cringey now after being fully redpilled. 😂
By 'redpilled' you mean you now suck up to men at every opportunity in order to be loved, because you have zero self-worth.
Reading comments like this from a woman is honestly what's attractive now 😂 that's how upside down we are, attitude over looks any day of the week is the market now....within reason 😂
I think some his analysis is flawed. Like his analysis is that, fertility decline should lead to social collapse which is not shown in the book. . LOL. The book does not mention how much fertility has declined. So we can assume that fertility has not declined to the point that society has declined.
The book sounds similar to the newer Mad Max where they portrayed the villain as an anti-woman breeder in a post apocalyptical world, but then by the end of the movie inadvertently demonstrate that the villain was doing what was necessary to both protect the women and conserve dwindling resources.
Immortan Joe was just selfish and evil not really a good example
I always thought it was ludicrous that a society with a dearth of women would treat the few reproductively viable ones remaining like property. If there were so few women in any society capable of reproducing their inherent value to the group and species as a whole would skyrocket and have every whim catered to (as if western women don’t have most of their absurd demands catered to already)
It's almost as if dummies spout nonsense...
@@priapulida feminist. When hearing that word, without fail, I think to myself "ironic".
They all hold their living standard to literal fucking Queens. Even if they’re in a tight spot or poor. Completely drenched in entitlement. Especially in our current times.
@@michaels4255 One of my grandmothers lived such a life and, frankly, was one of the best tempered women I've ever known. All her female grandkids have cushy lives, can barely stand to eat a chicken off the bone let alone kill one, and are neurotic messes (nevertheless they all found extremely tolerant men to enable them).
@@michaels4255 In the past, men who had no servants had to work triple hard. Farming, building their own houses, taking care of their families, hunting etc. Men were really oppressed by the matriarchy.
A review of the Handmaid’s Tale
It seems like it’s beyond the pale
Men are the devil
(It’s set for A level!)
It strikes me as awfully stale
I refused to write an A-Level essay on the drivel. I chose Third Reich alt-history fiction instead.
I’ve always thought of it as persecution porn.

I always thought that the Handmaid's Tale was written in response to the 1979 takeover of the Shah in Iran. But you are right. Your female fan here thinks that the popularity of the Handmaid's Tale is beyond stupid. When women wear the red cape costume to protest our government in the U.S. my stomach turns from the cringe factor.
It makes sense, America is wild - having fundie Christians in the same nation as ultra liberal progressives they must surely see each other as vaguely beyond the pale
At the time, Atwood DID claim the book was an allegory of what happened to Iranian women after the revolution, but when it became unpopular to criticize Islam in Canada, circa 2008 or so, she walked back her statements.
Women have always been catered to and held special provision BECAUSE of their reproductive value, not in spite of it. Hand Maids Tale makes so sense. Seems like anti natalist and anti male propaganda to me
anti-white and anti-conservative
was actually about Iran
I had to read this in high school in 1989. A small private school with a graduating class of only 78. So everyone was pretty comfortable in life there. I was one of the handful of kids that wasn't seriously wealthy. Not that I was disadvantaged at all. Anyway! I remember no one really liked the book, including the girls, didn't think much of it, and we generally felt it wasn't a very good story and didn't make much sense. We saw the movie too, and it was generally considered terrible. Of course this was long before the complete insanity of the wokeists rose. You could still have normal conversation with women back then without them losing their minds completely and developing fits. Also no one was fat, blue haired, or tattooed up and down their arms like a soldier. It was a simpler time...
I had to look up whether there was really a movie and there actually is. The cover looks like something that you would have watched on HBO when your parents were sleeping. I assumed it was something else with the same name.
It is good for high-quality men that these dysfunctional women are fat, blue haired and tattooed up, for it serves as a clear aposematic warning to give them a wide berth.
men are triggered too, it seems to be an American phenomenon
broflakes, they're called
they have public tantrums and meltdowns too, called mantrums
so it's mostly American or the heavily Americanised
@@piperian3962 Not only that, the sequel book, “THE TESTAMENTS,” was released in 2019.
I read the book in 1985, because I was into Orwell, and the advertising said Atwood was the next Orwell. The book is terrible, and the story implausible. Atwood may represent the first case of affirmative action in the publishing business.
I remember watching a tv show called Sliders from the 90s. The episode is called love gods. It's like a reverse of the handmaid's tale. Almost all the men die, also they haven't discovered artificial insemination.
The men live in a house that is guarded and are treated like a stud. They live in luxury have a gym and get vitamins to enhance the performance.
The women are selected for them were only the best of the best.
Still the men wanted to escape. I belive they wanted a family or love. I don't remember that part.
Maybe the twist was that the men were gay, and this was hell!
😉
:D sounds more like twilight zone. I remember this episode. The women were constantly at war.
“That’s silly ladies, you can all have me!”
“Even that ugly girl?”
“Maybe once or twice.”
@@markkavanagh7377 Not everything has to be about gays, sheesh.
Men wanted to escape ??!!
Very good analysis Dr.Ed .I know a late middle aged girl who loved this show and would never miss an episode...no, she didn't read the book, but the show appealed to her sense of victimhood, and reinforced her self conception as a repressed innocent, her life held ransom by the evil patriarchy.Not much room in there for self analysis or self responsibility. Sadly. Cheers.
I'm 9 months pregnant and have never felt so privileged in my life. People go out of their way to open doors for me, smile at me, ask me if I need anything, ask me if I want to pet their dogs lol. The idea that at any moment the political right could take over and subjugate fertile/pregnant women is pretty laughable at this point. If anything, the pregnant women could take over the world.
In the 3rd reich, a woman with 4 or more kids got to wear a badge that put her straight to the front of every queue and line.
The 1985 book “The Handmaid’s Tale” was first marketed as the next “1984.” It was a prediction of what was to come.
The book centers around a sex act that almost no man would actually want to engage in, but author Atwood believes is an act men dream about constantly.
graype is an extreme r-select sexual strategy
It really is the coldest of cold takes, the fact that feminists take it seriously (or pretend to) illustrates how little their world views have to do with reality.
Yeah, men never rape anyone. And Santa is real.

Sounds like the tale of a bitter old woman moaning about her infertility and jealousy toward younger women.
A quick examination of Maggies' physiognomy is enough to confirm that that Handmaids' Tale is the fantasy of a spiteful mutant.
I've seen this book mentioned, but I had no idea what it was about. It's sillier than expected.
You should watch the TV adaptation. On second thoughts, don’t.
I've seen it suggested by a woman, and I've had the same intuition myself: the types of women who fantasize about being taken violently, or who enjoy being degraded and insulted by their man all the time, represent the genetic lines of long-defeated people. Their ancestral grandmothers spent generations as slave-girls, war-brides, and so forth. They proliferated because they were the ones who took most to subjugation.
I and various other men have noted: playing a self-indulgent villain looks thrilling and it conjures fantasies, yet in practice, it feels gross and pathetic; contempt grows, both for oneself and for that woman. Even the simulation of taking a woman by violence is like a self-own. It's a simulation of being undesirable. On the aspect of how I perceive the abused woman, now she seems to carry a genetic slave-instinct; perhaps she was never worth much from the start, and any beauty or intelligence she passes on to our children only exists for exploitation by others.
You know smth? I always knew this book series was absolutely ridiculous and straw-mannish. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks the same.
Freud would've had a field day with these people.
@@geoded A lot of Freud feels like throwing darts at a board, spin the roulette wheel type of random shitposting, but when he's right he's right.
@@mankyscotchgit4986 Freud was 100% a shitposter, I have much respect for his craft.
Fertility is high value which is why we’re hard-wired to find the characteristics indicating it to be ‘beautiful’ (hip:waist ratio, not too thin, not too fat, not too old etc.).
(Hint: Emma Watson isn’t anymore).
What I find funny about women like Emma Watson is they want us to value them for their intelligence when she has a job that does not require it. If she truly is intelligent and wants to be valued for it she should either make intelligent children or do a job that requires intelligence (but that would lower her to the level of a man)
she's always looked about 12 and still does, esp on the face
@@piperian3962 well it's like tradlarping virtue signalling really
they talk about being men of high value but never DO anything
Atwood wrote it as an allegory to draw a spotlight on the genuine treatment of females in the (then new) Islamic Republic of Iran, and, ever since, the pathological narcissism of Western women has made them obsesses that the novel’s really about their only subject of true interest: me, me, me!
Wait, what? *Islamic*? Then why the hell did she make an allegory to Christianity being allllll that oppressive and not a metaphor to the Islamic Republic of Iran?
Don't get me wrong Christianity had a ton of flaws but the whole book was just a stereotypical strawman of "Christianity bad"
Based actually
Was there an environmental disaster, causing most woman to become infertile, in Iran back then?
That is because of the It could happen here idea
Hmm.. published in 1985. In 1980 there was a bruhaha made over a PBS docudrama "The Death of a Princess" based on the real life public execution of a Saudi princess in 1977. The Saudi Royal family, big oil and the Reagan administration put great pressure on PBS not to air the film. The British ambassador was expelled from Saudi on account of it.
It had one broadcast, vanished then resurfaced 25yrs later. It can be found here at youtube, an amazing film with music by Vangelis.
It was the time of the Iranian hostage crisis as well, yellow ribbons tied to trees and vehicle antennas, everywhere. Maybe the author saw her chance to say, hey, why don't we have all that cool, fun oppression here?
The TV show is filled with graphic vivid depictions of women being r@3p3d and t0urtur3d. Literally. This is truly absurd and bizarre. My wife tried to show me some and it was awful. Funny how the most "feminist" show on TV, is also the only modern show to depict this and only one who could for whatever reason, get away with it.
The series is dreadful.
Hannibal on NBC was less graphic. HANNIBAL.
Tbh this is why I dislike the majority of modern shows aimed at 'grown ups', they are always so full of graphic violence and particularly references to rape, with such frequency and insistence that it has a pornographic vibe. It couldn't be more obvious that this is what the woke normies - and especially women - are secretly into (while pretending to be horrified by it).
@@mankyscotchgit4986 It’s really over the top.
As someone who actually read the book, I can assure you that you're not missing anything by skipping it.
In the old days it was very likely that the most beautiful girls, being the most valuable to their fathers would also be the most chaste because their fathers and family would look after them to make sure they didn't get romantically physical with anyone as it would spoil them in the eyes of a prospective husband. Then obviously the husband would be of high status and keep his wife away from that as well. Plus there would be harsh punishment if another man slept with the king or lord's wife.
For an example of that, see the Fate of Griffith in Berserk: The Golden Age.
The Handmaid's Tale exclusively quotes the OT, not once is Christ mentioned in it. It can be read as a dystopia depicting an orthodox Jewish regime.
Also, most women quoting it have only seen the ridiculous TV adaptation, which is nothing like the book.
Christianity & lslam are just plagiarisms of Jewish texts. There's no "OT," only the Hebrew Bible. You obviously don't know anything about Judaism if you think that nonsensical book reflects the TaNaKh or Oral Torah in anyway.
apparently based on iran
@@seabreeze4559 I doubt Iran is or was anything like this.
As I read the book, for the first time in 1989, my initial thought was, "Why didn't they ramp up the use of IVF to maintain population"? Was Atwood scientifically illiterate and didn't know of the huge strides in the tech of in-vitro fertilization that lead to the first 'test-tube baby' being born in 1978?
Also, the narrative is framed - clearly, the Republic of Gilead did not prevail. Why is this omitted in movie adaptations?
I'm reminded of the SNL Nora Dunn character, a lesbian psychologist, who kept fronting her book, *"Women Good, Men Bad"*
"What in the name of buggery bollocks is this ?"
Frankly, the couple of books I've read by this author are dreary. How she got her face on a Canadian stamp and all sorts of accolades is completely beyond me. I won't waste my time on any more of her books.
Most more recent literature is dreary, tbh. At the very least, depressive. Postindustrial ennui.
@@maidende8280 true
Her smile reminds me of the merchant meme, I know she's not but still an interesting bit of physiognomy.
I am in your 15% women category. Didnt waste my time with Shades of Gray or Handmaids Tale. Then again, I havent identified as a feminist since I was a teenager. Went off to college and found the feminists were batsh&7 crazy. I dropped that label fairly quickly. Love your videos, keep it up!
Lol , what shades of grey has to do with feminism anyway ? 😅. Even if you are anti- feminist, you can still enjoy the book. First, I did not agree with his analysis, because it seemed vague to me and 2nd it's fiction , you agree with it or don't agree dependent upon you.
I once tried to explain this to a woman once and she berzerked.
Junot Diaz, writing about the Trujillo regime in the Dominican Republic, called it a "culocracy" - the dictator did go around and abduct attractive women for his bed. There are all kinds of qualifications for that one historical example: the size of the country, the motivations of the dictator, the political context of the world around the DR at the time, etc.
And of course it didn't last.
I am put in mind of Tywin Lannister telling Cersei she stinks: “I don’t distrust you because you are a woman. I distrust because you’re nowhere near as clever as you think you are.”
Hello, hello, hello.
15:10 this might all be true but has very little to with that book. The intercourse is not at all passionate r*pe but in fact extremely awkward because the (supposedly barren) main wife is present. She basically sits behind the handmaid, everybody is mostly clothed and the man has probably trouble to perform at all in that awkward situation. Maybe there are also other scenes (certainly because Offred takes a lover) but the most "iconic" are these bizarre puritan menages a trois...
punishing other women with pregnancy, sounds very woke
Woman here, never got past the first chapter, never understood why my friends idolized it, they fit exactely how you described them, intellectual feminists lol (they are not my friends anymore of course).

I gotta say, most of the channels I have watched (who do show statistics) tend to be 90%+ male viewership. Its encouraging that there are women who like learning about these kind of things.
A wonderful breakdown of this book, but I still have a question.. why do they all look like Little Red Riding Hood?
Not only do they get the rape fantasy and the persecution fantasy, they also get to wear a cute outfit while doing it.
The Honey Badgers Brigade's Hannah Wallen came to very similar conclusions about this rancid text and TV series. As did their Capo, Alison Tieman.
The plain jane of the TV show also did a film where an invisible man just had to have her. The fertility rate of the shows cast is dire as expected.
Since UA-cam watchers are mostly male, if you balance it out, that means your audience is almost 50/50
Seriously. Even the Krogans from Mass effect got this right. The few females of that Species that were fertile gain tremendous power.
It's illiterate in terms of literary theory too
Have you considered this as 'state management', certain sorts will create internal narratives that 'help' shift them into certain emotional states, into certain focuses. They do it in part to connect and be in 'normal' states they became used to, perhaps in childhood. But also so they can do things, treat themselves as justified in other behaviours.
It's easier to cheat, hurt, take unfairly, after devaluing or creating a narrative and emotional state, where actually your justified. Even if all you have is fantasy to create that with.
Good point!
persecution complex, yeah
like MGTOW
like, if you hate the opposite sex so much, avoiding them should be easy
same with SJWs

For some interesting insights into women, ‘My Secret Garden’ by Nancy Friday is quite an eye opener.

When I was a teenager in the 70s, historical bodice ripper series were very popular - the Angelique books by Serge Golon, and the Catherine and Marianne series by Juliet Benzoni. In all these series, a beautiful young woman experiences great tribulations overa series of novels. In love with one man, but through misfortune separated from him, she has adventures with a number of other attractive men - nobility, royalty,outlaws, pirates etc (always ends up in a Sultan’s harem at some point). A lot of rape/ravishment went on. .Repelled at first,but then attracted etc. This scenario was played out again and again.
Could we get the reverse analysis of what would happen if 99% of the MALE population became infertile. Just asking for a friend.
esp after the clot shots
actually USA data on sub-fertility aka impotence in men means that might happen
STD data points to hpv and herp causing it, when studied
@@seabreeze4559 I thought 4K streaming video was causing most of the impotence.
''Y:The last man'' is a comic book series were a disease killed all the male animals on the planet except one man.I heard it's good.
Handmaid's Tale is a genius work outlining what humanity must do to increase birthrate and IQ, thank you Margaret Atwood!
For the first half of the video I didn't even realize you were wearing a tie I thought that you had like an open button-up shirt, but then I realized that your tie is out of order. This whole court room is out of order! BTW, love your videos. And appreciate your take on things, my good sir.
Why can you escape to Canada? The author is Canadian.
@Thisis Gettinboring I would almost guarantee that Atwood is a fan of our soy boy in Chief
Maybe Canada hadn't become the dumpster fire it is today. That would by why fleeing from Gilead to Canada was worthwhile.
I hated this book. The movie from the 90s? I never saw the TV show but it seems to influence these young modern women negatively. Christians are the liberators. It's not Christianity that enslaves.
I've had young women tell me how they believe this book vision is true. It's just an ugly point of view. Christendom brought much goodness out into civilization.
@@amen4ramen religion was a cause for war but the good spread by true followers a the faith in my opinion outweighs the bad.
Also, nobody can beat the kill record of communism.
There's nothing inherently good about Christianity in my opinion, and how it might have culturally manifested itself a century ago is a world apart from how it does now.
@@hermitxIII that’s just a staggeringly ridiculous opinion and I’m an atheist. Read Renee Gerard. Christianity is very unique and absolutely responsible for making humans in the west more moral and kind. Pre-Christian world was insanely brutal.
Karlheinz Deschner's multi-volume _Christianity's Criminal History_ uncovers how the coming of the new religion plunged classical philosophy into centuries of near-oblivion, clashing with the established and ancient European belief in the inequality of men. Spreading first among the slaves and lowest classes of the Roman Empire, the Christian faith came to teach that all men were equal in the eyes of a universal creator, an idea that was totally alien to traditional European thought, which had recognized a hierarchy of competence among men and even among the gods. Opposing the traditions of classical philosophy and scientific enquiry, Christianity introduced the concept of a single, omnipotent “God of History” who controlled all phenomena in the universe, with mankind being the pinnacle of his creation. Since all human beings were “the children of God”, all were equal before their Divine Maker. Faith in the church's interpretation of supposedly prophetic revelations became more important than scientific or philosophical enquiry, and to question the church's view of reality was a grave sin, one that could spell death for the blasphemer.
Nietzsche saw that the successful promotion of Christianity depended on a pretence of reciprocal hostility between Christians and you-know-whos. It required making the you-know-who-ish cult, when peddled to gentiles, seem non-you-know-who-ish and even anti-you-know-who-ish. “Was it not a necessary feature of a truly brilliant politics of vengeance, a far-sighted, subterranean, slowly and carefully planned vengeance, that Israel had to deny its true instrument publicly and nail him to the cross like a mortal enemy, so that the whole world (meaning all the enemies of the you-know-whos) might naively swallow the bait?” This policy, however, produced an unexpected backlash, which was only with great difficulty brought under control. It would, and indeed did, take many volumes to summarise the scandalous history of Christianity, from its known beginnings around the middle of the second century to the triumph of a particularly shrewd and aggressive sect in the fifth century. There were hundreds of sects, each with its own bundle of gospels, peculiar doctrines, and adroit theologians, but among them were innumerable hoodwinked fools who took seriously the purported antagonism of the you-know-whos to the new religion.
Nietzsche observed that Christianity is anti-Darwinian, as its value system has dysgenic consequences. Christians are unlikely to be motivated by ethno-nationalism, as their focus lies on God's kingdom in the hereafter, not on any earthbound nation. Their priority is the salvation of immortal souls, and the importance of genetic purity will not resonate with them.
The Third Reich is an example of a culture that, for the first time in over a thousand years, rejected Judeo-Christian ethics and adopted a more organic, evolutionarily informed moral code. It was essentially a return to pagan values. While by no means perfect, it did become the most scientifically advanced nation in the world, and in terms of politics and philosophy, the Germans had a very intimate understanding of certain realities that are to this day _verboten_ to acknowledge. Viewed within the context of society as an organism, a revolutionary theory at the time which is consistent with many contemporary findings in evolutionary psychology/biology, the Third Reich was a healthy immune response to an existential threat that was manifesting in two forms, bolshevism in the east and international finance capitalism in the west, which would go on to form a pincer movement against the one nation that stood in their way. The Reich identified disease vectors in the body politic and neutralised them, with the SS functioning much like white blood cells; antibodies developed in response to a deadly bacillus. Annihilating this enemy without remorse would previously have been unthinkable, due to Christian axiology.
We have failed to instigate a revolt against these criminals among our people because their minds have been stewing in a culture shaped by two thousand years of Christian delusion. To hope that a people imbued with the conviction that a you-know-who is God will revolt against the you-know-whos is a fool's errand. As more time passes, it will become clear that the evil in the West not only emanates from the you-know-who-ish mass media and our treacherous elites, but also our own people, whose operating systems contain malware implanted since the time of Constantine. The only salvation lies in a Nietzschean transvaluation of values, a complete and total elimination of malware from the psyche of our people until it is restored to that healthy and virile condition before the Christian subversion. This is what the Germans were attempting to do, a renaissance that was promptly nipped in the bud by those traitorous nations that should have been her allies. The German defeat at Stalingrad set off a cataclysm, and at this point our culture was well and truly finished. With the destruction of the Third Reich, the flame of white civilisation that had burned so brightly for millennia was finally extinguished. The combined effort of whites in America, Britain and France had destroyed tens of millions of their racial comrades in the heart of their ancestral homeland, and for what purpose? To free the dregs of humanity from imprisonment so they could exact their revenge upon those who had recognised them for what they were. 1945 was the year of the total inversion of “Aryan” values into Christian values.
Thanks to that tremendous betrayal, we live today under the inescapable tyranny of usury, fiat currency, and the international system of interest-based debt slavery. Government abuse of taxpayer funds has been an accepted part of life for so long that nobody alive today can remember a time when this was not the norm. Since the founding of the Federal Reserve in 1913, a staggering $48 trillion has been spent on actively undermining the political sovereignty, economic stability and demographic homogeneity of the United States. It isn't restricted to America, though. In every white country, the fruits of our own labour are used to finance our destruction. This constitutes nothing less than the most bare-faced betrayal in the history of human civilization, on a scale so unprecedented, utilising methods of subversion and deceit so vile and revolting, that it beggars comprehension. Few dare complain, and many are happy to turn a blind eye and make bank by exploiting the unparalleled opportunities that late-stage capitalism affords them. Technocracy, plutocracy, and the scores of talentless “social media influencers” who have struck gold overnight are symptoms of a terminally ill civilisation.
I and countless others might have been spared our suffering if the fledgling science of eugenics had been allowed to progress unimpeded, but the egalitarian impulse of Christianity, so deeply embedded in the Western mind, held us back. Christianity is the progenitor of liberal progressivism and communism, both forged from the pacifist doctrine of the brotherhood of man. Pathological altruism, ethno-masochism and the worship of “The Other” all have their antecedents in Christ's teachings. “All are one in Christ” is the framework that secular liberalism is built on. Christians have no loyalty to race or any of the material things of this world, because their focus is on the immaterial realm of God's kingdom, and they seek to transcend the corporeal world. For them, all that matters is God, and all souls are worthy of salvation in God's eyes. This is why Christianity, the arch nemesis of racialism and the greatest opponent of evolution, will always be locked in deadly enmity with eugenics.
Another classy conglobulation .. amusing because it is all too accurate. The human 'infertility' problem already exists, it is global, and, yes, it causes reactions, yet it has relatively little to do with 'sex' and almost everything to do with an ideological disease. So, it is fairly clear, that this ever so impressive anti-evolutionary cultural process is profoundly socially divisive and superficially class/ gender-conscious: persuading women, and womanised men, that reproducing the species at more than replacement levels is - the great unforgivable sin, and, therefore, that divorce, contraception, abortion, laws, and rights without duties are for the common good (not least in liberating women, from being .. erm .. women, whatever that is meant to mean today, if anything .. meaningful).
In short: 'we' i.e. the intellectually superior pinnacle of evolutionary endeavour (or happenstance) are purposefully obliterating our ability to reproduce, whereas, 'they' e.g. the excess population, unnecessary to keep us as the pinnacle of evolution, are merrily reproducing away .. despite our best efforts to prevent them. So, of course, 'we' would yearn to escape to 'Canada', if only to ensure that we can enjoy becoming an evolutionary dead-end, and evade being swamped by all those recidivistic lesser evolutionary by-products.
Remember, the point is not that we are intelligent, and they are not, but that we are intellectual - guided with almost Marxist ideological rigidity in self-belief - and our ultimate goal is to ensure that we cease to exist as a reproductive threat to Mother Earth (but only after we have fully satisfied ourselves first, and confirmed our self-beliefs); of course, if we can cause the lesser-ones to disappear too, before us, then full steam ahead.
Keep the Faith; tell the truth, shame the devil, and let the demons shriek.
God bless. ;o)

Nietszche was so right about this kind of cartoon intellectuals. Their Arrogance is so high.
How about women who fantasize about vampires? Wanting to get bitten in the throat by something that crawled out of a grave seems less than sane.
I don’t think most women like the idea of decomposing flesh. Vampires, like all paranormal romance heroes, appeal to women for the reasons you’d expect. They’re gorgeous, wealthy, powerful, & dominant in the bedroom. Paranormal romance has gotten big in large part bc modernity makes it more difficult for women to satisfy their hypergamy, thus they go for literally superhuman men.
Vampires appeal to the more high class women, & werewolves to those who like more macho, burly types of men. Ofc, sometimes you have books where the women have both, or multiple types of paranormal heroes, as in reverse harem.
a man who can never die, when historically men died young or in battle?
also strong and protective and wise?
and rich?
and youthful?
@@maidende8280 hypergamy in studies is about male mate choice for marriage
sterile sex has nothing to do with it
@@maidende8280 polygamy is quite Christian, so quit calling it a harem when that's slavery
@@maidende8280 oh, and women in actual harems would frequently kill the man enslaving and rayping them, so hardly a 'fantasy'
I’m a female
Viewer and I’ve bought 4 of your books! Haha. I also have 4 kids so I’m kinda an outlier as it is.
I think it's entirely fine for women to enjoy fantasy books like that which aren't at all realistic, as long as they know that it's fantasy and don't take it as any sort of social commentary. Though I fear that this is not the case for many of the readers.
Maybe I should write a book about a dystopian fantasy world in which a few men a oppressed and are FORCED to copulate with lots of very attractive young women. Imagine what a terrible world this would be!
Lol, more like for pseudo intellectuals
I am not so sure about the lesser degree of sexual dimorphism amongst r-selected peoples; East Asians are among the most k-selected, yet, their sexual dimorphism is lesser than among, say, Europeans, who are comparatively more r-selected.
I think he meant more generally across multiple animal species.
@@maidende8280 Could be, but would it then make sense to relate this to humans if they are an exception? Or are East Asians one of the few exceptions among humans?
@@abeladam5997 Good point. Another possibility is he meant within groups, probably Europeans. Not my area of expertise but it seems like we are the most sexually dimorphic, even though in most other regards we are intermediate between East Asians & Blacks.
@@abeladam5997 they're not, people used to say the same about Japanese
economic success causes r
@@maidende8280 The model minority thing is Left wing propaganda because they vote for bigger government. They are not conservative. Whites are most dimorphic and generally most K-select, so rarely experience famine. Asia still can't supply its own food and relies on whites.
Intuitively at the time, but not fully consciously until now when I heard Ed say it, I noticed that as a problem the moment I came in while my parents were in the middle of an episode.. why wouldnt these high status men be married to fertile women as opposed to infertile ones? The class hierarchy system in it doesnt make sense
What about harems of beautiful women in certain primitive society’s?

Where does the Lusty Aronian maid rank on this scale?
YES! 15%er here, and one of my favorite diversions is to check the Goodreads every time something big happens in the news. Everything is ALWAYS just like Gilead. One woman in particular uses her review as a personal diary about the steady descent of America. Thrilling stuff!
Thanks for adding the evolutionary perspective to your critique. It is amazing this masochistic bodice-ripper ever gained academic recognition. Such a backwards little novel! One major improvement in the show is the youthification of the lady of the house. What you have in the book is a fertile young woman subjugated by a resentful old crone. She hates the main character and thinks little of her husband. It makes no sense why the Commander even keeps her around. Every small kindness from him is neurotically recast as evidence of his deep pathological need to dominate women, so it couldn’t possibly be that enjoys his wife’s company!
You could have totally shilled one of your own books at the end when you said that you hope us ladies would find something more interesting to read.
I guess that would have been too on the nose.

Well I can vaguely remember reading an Atwood novel donkeys years ago and I can just remember my working class criticism as "a load of bollocks" and have never read her since.
I totally get it about the rape fantasies I have one about sexually transmitting rabies to gang rapists.
That's interesting, why do you think that is?
@@RaffieFaffie I've heard stories about corrupt systems where gang rape happens, and the law does nothing about it because the law enforcement are the ones doing it. because law enforcement would do anything to cover up crimes and likely not talk about the gang rape event and are kind of aggressive anyway nobody around them or they themselves are going to question the excess aggression that comes with rabies and anyone they would be sexually involved with would die with them. the more dormant the virus is in their systems the further virus spreads based who they trade bodily fluids with. it does sound like plot for a low budget horror film called the rabid secret.
I- what-
What the hell did I just read
Probably only women that were in a system like that understood the book, I was in a system like that. My fantasy was to get out.
Wait, where?

Sadly, absurdity and political implementation are well matched.
This is why I joked about China becoming "The People's Republic of Gilead." The CCP wants higher birth rates, and might be stupid enough to try anything.
Very good. Have you read "Y: The Last Man"? It's very entertaining but has the same flaw. The last man on earth is fought over as property, rather than being treated as a king.
If one day, they make 50 Shades of Grey required reading at school instead, at least they will have been consistent. 😂
I find The Handmaid’s Tale to be a source of comedic gold! I always anticipate a new season coming out to see what sorts of over-the-top insane and fantastical elements are in the show. I also find the main character OfFred to be extremely ’hateable’ and want to see nothing but the worst for her. The actress Elisabeth Moss is perfect for the role, as she is extraordinarily unattractive and exudes no ‘threatening beauty standards’ for the Lefty woman who watch the show. I also find this rendition of ‘what every white supremacist man REALLLLLLLLY WANTS…’ fantasy to be completely flawed due to the racial aspects of assigning POC women to a white elite couple to impregnate. That would be polar opposite of what would happen if this fantasy could occur of ‘white supremacist men’ creating an ethnostate and capturing all the fertile white women able to conceive, they certainly wouldn’t be bedding and breeding the POC women. I just find it hilarious that the Leftist system, in partnership with feminist writers, would assert ‘the white supremacist male takeover of society’ would result in ‘the white supremacist’ men in charge deciding that the institution of a multicultural breeding program would be the way go for the continuation of ‘white supremacy’. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Seems like a who bunch of people, from writers to most feminist show consumers alike ‘haven’t read the manifesto’ as it were.
