A Dissident Is Here

March 26, 2019

By NZB3

There is a perennial theme in our culture of the feminine’s choice either to align with the masculine to fight off external threat or to stab him in the back. As a pair bond, a family, a culture, can we withstand an invader? Or, the feminine asks, shall I betray my protector in the hopes our enemy will reward me and spare me?

New Zealand, right here and now, is operating according to that sort of anxiety and threat-analysis right now and ever since the Christchurch Massacre. Led by the Prime Minister’s example our feminine members of society are signalling massive contrition and supplication. They’re turning in their own people, banning their weapons and censoring their resources in the hopes that the Boogieman at the Gates will accept this gifted tribute rather than work the extra effort of conquest. Such events are peppered through our history and our pre-historic natural history. If you’re not up to date on all the examples of this in the last few days then stay tuned.

Back in 2006 I started working all of this out when two artistic representations of the above came together in my mind. One was The Thomas Crown Affair (1968,) the other Dissident (Pearl Jam.) In each case a woman must make the above choice between aligning with the man she’s in love with or turning him over to the wolves, The State.

Steve McQueen’s character in The Thomas Crown Affair, as in the worthy 1999 squeal, is wise to all of the above. He knows this woman can ruin him but openly trusts in her not to betray him. He gives her the power to do so in complete vulnerability as if in some Ayn Rand novel. What will her choice be?

I wont spoil the films because I want you to watch them and feel the tension. It’s a practical matter you are faced with right now, today. However, in Pearl Jam’s song the woman’s decision after much anxiety and soul-searching is a holy “no.” She couldn’t hold…she folded. Who needs masculinity to protect and love you when The Government will replace it via the Welfare State? “She sold him to the state.”

We can’t make our feminine side be faithful to us, that’s up to them. All we can do is be our masculine selves as boldly and forthrightly and assertively and frankly and authentically as possible. Show these women our culture has a future like Thomas Crown did. That’s pretty hard to do these days, in this economy. Even the film had to make him a billionaire to make it a believable conundrum. So, what’s it going to be ladies?

And to this day, she’s glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact…with the conflict…
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn’t hold…she folded…
A dissident is here
What will it profit a woman if she gains the whole world and forfeits her soul??

Note: Many of we men have been trying for decades to embody the masculine soul that New Zealand, and the world, needs. With few role models that aren’t outrightly toxic, with little or no encouragement but outright active anti-man prejudiced opposition. We’ve been frustrated and angry and usually not known why. The above is my answer to why.
