Narrative Warfare: Power & The Gamma Male

Friend of the Retreat Brian Niemeier posted today at his blog what Conservative Inc. wants you to believe about state power and human usage thereof. He's correct, and the Cucks are wrong--if not lying--about that relationship. It is a man-made tool, and therefore has only the desire to be used; it is amoral, not immoral, as any tool inherently is. There is a fantastic video essay about the original Conan movie that gets this point, as it was the point that director John Milus wanted to make. (Starts at the Riddle of Steel reveal point.)

That's right, in contravention to Robert Howard (who did not hold to such a position), Milus went all Nietzsche: it's Will that matters, not steel or flesh.

Power wants to be used. It gravitates to those who have what is required, and that is the will to act. By itself, it does nothing and therefore is nothing, as it lacks agency; in time, unused power dissipates and is destroyed, as with anything forgotten and neglected. This is no different than any other tool, and it is a very feminine energy; there is good reason why power is personified as a woman--as a queen or princess, usually--and you just had it laid out for you.

And if you know the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy, you now get why the Cucks rarely get power or do well when they have it while resenting those such as the God-Emperor who do. They--as a group especially, and often individually--exhibit the psychology of the Gamma Male.

Even after allowing for the fractal nature of the Hierarchy, wherein you see relatively more and less masculine folks among the Cucks, this frame aptly explains why the Cucks keep at the Tolkien metaphor regarding power and its usage. Feminine energy repels itself, as like-aligned magnets do; notice that masculine men are, at worst, apathetic towards power- they know their limitations and don't seek positions beyond their utility.

And, in typical Gamma fashion, the Cucks lie about Tolkien's take on the Ring. The Ring is not amoral because it is intelligent, being a part of its maker- an extension of Sauron and his rebellious will. It is not a mere tool; it is a non-organic part of a supernatural entity's material form, no different in function to the phylactery of a lich, and therefore being with it is being with him, whispering into your ear as Sauron did to the last king of Numenor before the fall thereof.

Power, real power, is not that. It is a tool, nothing more. It only wants to be used, and it does not care to what end; weak men wield it foolishly, as do most women, which is why we have our notions of what effective leaders look and act like, but if that's all that want to use it then power will go there because it's better than nothing at all from its perspective. This, by the way, is why Libertarians and Anarchists are wrong; they deny this reality of power.

The Clowns serving the Enemy know this about power. It's why they seek to seize it and hold it, shutting out all threats to their position, and we're seeing this happen now as they see rising threats to that position. But, like anything else feminine that goes out of order, it cannot resist the inevitable check-and-correction that comes sooner or later- nor does it want to. The Manosphere guys get this; they call this sort of a thing a civilization-scaled Shit Test, and the answer given to men dealing with women doing this applies to civilizations also.

And yes, this is why the dominant religions of the world--especially the true one--are masculine in their energy. Men wield power as they lead women and children, and the good kings are also the good patriarchs, the healthy Alphas of men leading and caring for the legions of Deltas getting the grunt work done under the direction of the Bravos. Power is satisfied by men wielding it as women are satisfied by men leading them: the stronger the confidence, the greater the satisfaction, and that applies to Gammas also- those few you cannot rid yourselves of, which is what you should do with dispassionate ruthlessness as if exterminating vermin or killing wolves coming at your herd.

Fear not power. Accept it as part of a man's duty to seize it, hold it, and use it--wield it--as you would your rifle or your wealth: for the betterment of your women and children, whether they like it or not, to the limit of your ability. Boromir Did Nothing Wrong.
