When someone drives 250 km/h on a wet highway, loses control and gets killed, he’s the victim of the whole situation, but it’s all his fault. He’s the only one to blame.

When someone invests his life savings in volatile, high-risk stock, and gets wiped out, he’s the victim, but he’s also the one to blame.

When someone builds his home on a potential mudslide area, or by a volcano, or on a tectonically active area, or in a potential flood zone, and the event he was betting against takes place and his property gets wiped out, he’s definitely the victim, but he’s also the one to blame, because he played a game with high stakes, he knew what he was getting himself into, and he lost.

When someone makes a life choice to sell his house, gamble and drink away the money, and ends up on the street, he’s the victim, but he’s the kind of victim you show your children and tell them not to be like that guy, because that guy caused his own misfortune.

Sure, there are situations where someone gets hit by a random event that wipes him out, like the Spanish influenza or a world war or a stock market crash or something else that adversely affects him despite all the valid precautions he had taken. In those situations, victims deserve compassion and help. However, victims are often to blame. More often than not, to be a victim means you played a game with high stakes and lost. More often than not, being a victim means you’re a loser and an idiot. You don’t deserve compassion, you deserve ridicule. That’s how we get social pressure that discourages people from doing stupid shit, and encourages rationality, caution and long-term, low-risk behavior.

Why, then, is the term “victim blaming” a thing? It is supposed to be automatic discreditation of the one who engages in the practice, because, somehow, the victims are automatically amnestied of all fault. They are the unblemished lambs of God, pure of all sin. If you’re a victim, you not only deserve compassion, you are somehow elevated in social status to the point of untouchable virtuous elite, that has the high moral ground and is entitled to demand change in society.

There’s that recent thing about sexual abuse in Hollywood. Here’s my take on this.

There are women who are desperate to make it in the movie industry. They would do anything to be noticed by the powerful people, and so they try to attend the right parties, hysterically laugh at the not-so-funny jokes in order to get noticed, they try to suck up in order to be liked, they mingle with the “right crowd”, and more often than not they sleep around with everyone whom they see as a stepping stone in their career. They are, essentially, sluts and whores who would fuck anyone if that would get them a role in some movie. Those sluts and whores have an additional effect of getting the powerful people used to being constantly assailed by people who offer them all kinds of sex, and soon they basically expect everyone to act like that, and, occasionally, they encounter someone who doesn’t function like that and then you end up with something that gets interpreted as sexual abuse. When 99% of the people you encounter will suck your cock as soon as you drop your pants with little or no invitation, you get used to dropping your pants on a whim and getting your cock sucked by someone who considers herself lucky for the opportunity. Sure, every now and then you have an awkward situation where  you drop your pants in front of someone normal and she runs away screaming, but the craziest thing is, when a guy like that ends up accused of sexual molestation (usually with full justification), all the sluts and whores who were standing in line for a chance to suck him dry while powdering their noses with his cocaine are now raising their voices to say “me to”, meaning they want to present themselves as victims, in order to get the societal compassion points and elevate themselves from the status of cheap trash to the status of pure, blameless victims.

Victims are often to blame. Sometimes, they are not only to blame, they also deserve condemnation. Sometimes, victims are trash. And sometimes they actually go out of their way looking for trouble.

Some time ago I read an article about a woman in South Africa who accepted a guy’s invitation to shower with him, “because water in her shower was cold”. And so, she got naked with him, in the hotel shower, presumably rubbing her wet soapy body against his “by accident”, and when he proceeded to fuck her, she took pictures of her crying face in the shower pretending to be a broken-hearted rape victim.

Nowadays it’s modern to say that “no means no”, where a verbal “no” supposedly outweighs every amount of non-verbal signaling. It doesn’t matter what you wear, what you do and what situations you get yourself into, if you say “no” and someone fucks you, it’s rape.

Let me tell you something. If a guy says he’s a saint, and he fucks whores, steals money and eats drugs like candy, what says more, his actions or his words? Oh really, his actions are more important?

Another example. A politician wants to be elected into office. He says all the stuff that’s expected from politicians. Then, however, it turns out that he embezzled money, and spent it with a mistress cheating on his wife. What’s more important, the facts that turned out, or his generic words?

Oh really, actions and facts are more important than words?

And we are supposed to believe that a woman’s “no” is more important than the fact that she’s sending very clear nonverbal “yes” signals, such as rubbing her soapy naked butt against a guy’s dick in a hotel shower?

Nonverbal signals are important. When you see guys dressed like firemen on a fire truck, you assume they are firemen without anyone having to tell you. When you see two guys dressed like cops in a police car, you assume they are cops. When you see a woman dressed like a slut, you assume she’s a slut. That’s how things work, and that’s why people wear certain clothes and symbols: they want to communicate their purpose and intent. Nobody really cares what a woman says in response to a man’s sexual signals. If she slaps your face and leaves, it’s a no. If she takes your dick in her hand and kisses you, it’s a yes. That’s how those things work. A woman can say “no” all the way to orgasm for all that I care, but if she’s ramming her wet pussy on my cock while moaning “no”, I count that as a “yes”. She can also whisper “Jesus!”, but I don’t interpret that as prayer.

This “no means no” bullshit fucks with our instinctive understanding of nonverbal language in such a way that the only result I can imagine will be men completely avoiding contact with unreliable women, where “reliable” are those who will have nothing to do with either feminism or progressivism or this entire modern bullshit altogether. Also, another thing that will happen is that the Muslims will take over, simply because the Western men will refuse die for the crazy, unpleasant, power-hungry women who think they can act like sluts and yet expect to be treated like ladies. No, they will play video games and all the feminists will end up in some Muslim slave market, where nobody will give the slightest bit of fuck about their “no”.

Another thing that annoys me is that when someone reasonably states that women often invite trouble with their risky or whorish behavior, such as getting drunk and naked with a few guys at a party and then waking up and realizing that they fucked her, or walking alone during the night in a poorly lit area, the response is something along the lines “so you would dress women in burqas instead of teaching men not to rape?” First of all, there is a lot of gray area in between dressing like a whore and wearing a burqa. And second, we’ve been teaching people not to murder and steal for millennia and yet the prisons are always full. Obviously, a certain percentage of people doesn’t care about the law and will gladly break it given the opportunity, so you need to take care you’re not the one they break it on. When you’ve been fucked by some guy in a dark alley by a corn field, you’ll find out there’s no law whatsoever that will prevent him from fucking you, given the opportunity. Sure, the law will work on getting him imprisoned if he’s caught, but you’ll still be fucked, so you need to get your shit together and not get yourself in situations where you’ll be the victim. No, you don’t need to wear a burqa, wear something normal, don’t go alone into dark and deserted places, don’t get so drunk or stoned you won’t be able to communicate your wishes clearly, say “no” by physical actions such as walking away, and don’t hang out with people who are clearly out of control, or are in other ways unreliable. Sure, you can do everything right and still be a victim. However, if that happens you will actually deserve help and compassion. If you do stupid shit and get wiped out, expect to be laughed at.

I get annoyed when school teachers, who are generally among the more clueless people out there, give children wise advice about the dangers of the Internet, basically “don’t go there, because bad people with white vans offering free candy, and hackers and stuff”.

You know what’s the worst thing that can happen to your kids online? Other kids. And not just any kids, but the kids from their school.

You know what the greatest danger is? Oh, it must be the bullying and shit, right? Wrong. It’s spending 10 hours every day on gossip and talks so stupid I’m simply unable to fabricate examples of, because my brain refuses to go there. Yes, there really are kids who spend most of their awake time on Snapchat and Facebook, exchanging trivial messages with other kids, probably because they are afraid of being out of the loop, which usually means being the one who’s picked at.

Now imagine what the kid’s mind will look like if all he or she is doing is exchanging idiotic messages with other kids who don’t really know shit about anything? And that’s at the time when they should be reading books, or listening to adults who would teach them things. The most dangerous thing about socializing with other kids is that the options available are “get along with everyone, especially the leading kid in the group, or be singled out for attack”. That’s how you get street gangs later. In my time (because I’m fucking old) it used to be called “bad company”, because it was recognized that it rubs off on you and you get pulled in to whatever your peers are doing, and it’s usually not training for the math competition.

If kids managed to spend 10 hours a day reading books and practicing math and coding, they’d get to be super smart. But if they spend 10 hours a day hanging out with other kids (online or IRL), they will get to be stupid and evil, because that’s what it amounts to: they try to find each other’s weakness so that they can bully and attack others, which gives them the sense of empowerment, and they try to get other kids to like them, because it gives them the sense of worth. Another problem is that they attack anything that’s different from them in any ways, because different means their choices and qualities aren’t the only option, and there’s a vast fear of choice, because choice means you can choose wrong. So, they pretend there are no choices by choosing conformity. They choose to look the same, act the same, think the same and feel the same, and if some among them is smart or virtuous enough to understand that this is a very stupid form of self-deception, he or she is singled out for attack, mostly to scare others into even greater conformity.

Another thing that bothers me with the social media is that it’s a case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Essentially, if you hang out with other kids online, and you are all pathetic conformists, you get to like worthless shit and have your worthless shit liked, and you waste your time collecting likes and being the same as everybody else while you should be building up your personality and learning useful things. As you neglect your real life, you get increasingly less emotional reward points from your real life, because it’s increasingly fucked up and hopeless due to neglect, and you have no other choice but to keep investing in the creation of the fake online presence where you post yucky artificial shit that’s designed to be liked by worthless people such as yourself. And increasingly, the voices of reason that scream at you that the emperor is naked are dismissed as trolling and abuse, so that you can descend deeper into the Shelob’s lair. Stay assured, however, that if you stay the course, you will turn into nothing way before any actual monster puts you out of your misery.

Recently I watched something shocking:

This fact, that US military won’t recruit people with IQ 83 or under, is both shocking and intuitively clear to me, because I do understand that in the modern world, there’s a decreasing pool of opportunities for stupid people. In a world that is mostly high-tech and sophisticated, marginally retarded people just can’t find anything useful to do, and if they can’t find anything useful to do, it’s either attempt to create a world more to their image, so to speak, basically retarding the modern world by a few centuries, or separate the world into high-IQ one and low-IQ one, basically having a space-age star trek society and a medieval shithole next door, or extinction of low-IQ people because high-IQ people will need the resources and will be able to just take them, or, most likely, extinction of the high-IQ people because the low-IQ ones are more determined, they never have any self-doubt, they are completely certain of their course, God is always on their side, they reproduce at an exponential rate, and the West is unable to defend itself against this threat in any way, due to its current philosophical constraints.

In any case, take a look at this: https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country

Guess why some countries are poor, and will always stay poor, without any chance of improvement.

Their average IQ is below the threshold of admittance for the US army, and if you’re too fucking dumb to be trained to be a soldier, well, no comment. Maybe they can find some niche in the sexual industry, to put it nicely. Sure, the average IQ doesn’t tell the whole story, Croatian average IQ is 90, which I have no difficulty believing because most people I meet here are stupid as rocks, but if you come to the university the average IQ would be around the MENSA admittance threshold, so you can obviously have a significant number of very smart people in a society in which majority is borderline retarded. However, having in mind that the average IQ in some societies is near or below completely unemployable, don’t get me started about unequal income levels and social differences. If someone with IQ 83 is below subsistence, and someone with IQ 150 is wealthy, that’s not an unexpected outcome in a society that uses computers, Internet, complex tools and international markets to function. The problem is, what will happen when a huge majority of people falls below a threshold of being able to find a normal job that pays well enough to make a living on the market? I’ll tell you what will happen. They will embrace socialism, because it will be the last straw. They can’t make it in capitalism, they’re too fucking stupid to program computers, make web apps or order cheaper things from Alibaba or Amazon. However, they can still vote, and this will be exploited by people whose IQ is much higher than 83, I guarantee you that, but they will manipulate the stupid disenfranchised masses into voting them into power.

There’s another problem, of course. Our civilization is increasingly demanding. It’s easy to dismiss the IQ 83 people, because I would expect that to be close to the higher-end of the Homo Erectus level of cognition. Heck, Bonobo chimps are quoted as having IQ of over 40 (yes, I know the IQ scale is normalized to 100 relative to a population, and not absolute, so read with this in mind). However, in a simple society such a person can function. He or she can pick berries or cocoa beans. In a modern society, the threshold of dropping out is higher. Projecting this trend into the future, it’s conceivable that at a certain point anyone below MENSA admittance threshold won’t be able to successfully function. Projecting it further, you get to the point where only a few thousand super-smart individuals in a few tech companies will be able to function at a level necessary to make good money, while the rest will be akin to chimps living in a world ruled by men. What happens when having a PhD and IQ of 148 isn’t enough to get a subsistence wage job, because there’s only a few jobs that aren’t automated, and they are basically for astronaut-level qualifications, with multiple science degrees and IQ of over 180? Sure, it’s easy to dismiss stupid people who favor socialism because they can’t make it on the market, but what happens when there’s 8 billion people and only 8000 are qualified to actually do anything worth paying them for?

I’ll tell you what happens. Civilizational collapse, and not in the hypothetical aforedescribed future, but fucking now. That’s the reason why everything is falling apart and socialism became popular. It’s because if you’re not a genius, you’re getting increasingly fucked, and even if you’re a genius your life is unbearably difficult, to the point where you don’t have a life beside work. The whole thing is a nightmare for almost everybody, which is why everybody is sending all those smiling selfies, posturing how wonderful their life is. It’s because their life sucks so much they are afraid all hell is going to break loose if anyone finds out, so they posture online and eat antidepressants like candy in private.
