Another Version of MGTOW

Captain Capitalism: The "Minimalism" Threat
If it were up to men, consumption spending would tank. We wouldn't be wasting our precious time (in the form of money) on doilies or Beanie Babies or "nice, matching furniture" or general crap that isn't needed. There would be an entertainment system, some dishes, some used furniture and that's about it. But don't think it would stop there. Our Spartan spending habits would have ramifications WELL beyond that of trinkets and doilies in the house. Notably, the house itself.
Control the money instead of letting the woman have control over it to fuel her consumerism, and if she balks, leave her.

Read the rest.

Men will have to organize on an informal basis, as official institutions (including the Church) fail to support them. Feminism is endorsed by the state and other holders of power, displacing men in favor of women, so men will have to avoid those institutions and do what they can on their own. Men's study groups? This morning I was thinking of the Christian base communities associated with liberation theology - just a Christianized version of the Marxist cell? But what was that but a perversion of the small communities of the early Church? If the Church will not support men, then will they have to turn to Marxists or anarchists for inspiration? I hope not.
And finally the cumulative effect of this veritable war waged on men - it's toll on our loyalty. I'm not talking loyalty to an employer. I'm talking loyalty to the country. I used to want to join the military and even to this day kick it around. But then I ask "who would I be protecting?" You see, all of the above really grinds mens' gears. We don't take kindly to being accused of automatic sexism, we don't like being enslaved to a government that does nothing more than take our money to bribe parasites into voting for more government, we don't like paying the taxes so you can play "pre-school teacher" and claim your 9 months a year job makes you an "independent adult," we don't take kindly to divorce (even though most of us haven't been), we don't take kindly to you ruining the industries we are predominantly employed in, we don't take kindly to the childish mind-games girls played on us during our teens and twenties, we don't take kindly to watching naive, spoiled, brats destroy the world's formerly greatest country and thusly steal our birthright and we get down right pissed when you start complaining that we're not "manning up" and choose to "sit on our asses all day playing X Box." Because when it comes to us men "investing" in this country be it buying property, starting a business, marrying, starting a family, whatever...


why should we?
