Notes on Self-Defense |
Tuesday – March 24, 2026

Have I caused offense with all of my previous posts about the fragility of so-called men? Buh-huh-huh... Cry me a river. Cry me a river. The fact is that there can be no such thing as a man that is unable to defend himself; a man without lethality is an impossibility, there can be no such creature. Of course, lethality cannot be separated from self-defense, but this does not mean that the primary goal of self-defense should be a lethal outcome, but it does mean that self-defense contains within it, as a principle, the possibility of lethality, and indeed I do not believe that lethality in and of itself is a bad thing, because it would serve the cosmological order right to eliminate disturbances, and this is of course the other side of the metaphysics of crime. All of this should be obvious, but I gather that there are some persons that still fail to understand this, especially if they insist upon being "offended" by my previous statements about masculinity, read more here as well.

    I have covered this topic in the past, but in this post I intend to generalize the topic more, as well as connecting this to masculinity, and I believe that a good start would be to define violence. First of all, there is no such thing as violence always being unjustifiable, but there is indeed such a thing as stupid violence and pointless violence, but it should also be mentioned that violence is about acting, and when you are violent you have moved away from contemplation, and this means that you have switched modality, and you are no longer appearing on Earth without a kind of vector, at least this would be the corporeal conception, and this means that you need to be able to prepare for the challenge that is engaging with the world, and this means that you need to be ready to immediately profile every single particle in your environment. Here I am referring to the act, yes this is an act, of leading a secure life, and this means establishing security. If you have a great deal of skill in the martial arts, yet you lack the initiative to engage properly, then you are essentially useless: how can a man without essence claim to be movable, when his substance cannot move? Essentially, when you need to act, you need to act, and if in that moment you fail to act, everything is over and the world has been lost. This is essentially the right way to approach a critical situation, but yes, you do not want the situation to be raised to critical, and in order to do that you need a reference, a kind of baseline, and this is why I have divided any given situation into one of three different levels: threat level blue, that is when you are all on your own and can assume, with caution, that all threats are minimized; threat level yellow, that is when you are around potential threats, but all of those threat are currently, without a gun, unable to reach you; and finally, threat level orange, that is when you need to immediately be able to act without hesitation; threat level orange is just below a critical situation and anything can happen to raise such a situation to a critical point. When you have reached a critical point you need to have already acted: this means that you are the one that needs to take the initiative to eliminate the threat, and in this connection a critical situation means that it is too late for you to change your mind in either direction, and you better hope that you took the initiative, or else you are dead. Do you want them to kill you and to rape your mother, because these are animals, beasts, and they will continue until lethal force has eliminated them. Of course, this is why the Western world will collapse sooner rather than later, because there are only beasts left in the West, and this would also explain feminism; essentially feminism should be understood as the expression of sensual atrophy among women, and they will accelerate and become more and more radical in the absence of men, but this is a subject for another time. So, if you are living in the Western world, I can only direct you to this post, because you will not be able to continue to live there. I also redirect Americans to the post: "Is the American Empire in Decline?".

    Again, I should clarify that I am opposed to violence, and for more on that I can only redirect you to my post on "Disarmament". I should also add that there is a significant difference between state sanctioned violence and self-defense, especially in light of the troubles caused by the temporal powers that be. Would a Bolshevik be justified in his use of violence? Of course not, but here I am not dealing with the brutish violence of the masses, and besides this is their only "natural" modality, something that men have known for a long time and this has only become a greater and greater problem in modern times. I also direct you to read my posts: "The Pacific Route", and "Radical Peace", if you want to get a greater understanding of non-violence. But yes, I am opposed to violence, but you must understand that most moderns are not opposed to violence; most moderns are in fact very much in favor of violence, and this is another one of those problems that tends to get more and more intense as the machines of industry are able to produce more and more violence, read "Modern Warfare". What is there about modern wars that is honorable? Nothing, but then again, there is nothing honorable about modernity. Self-defense is, on the other hand, something quite honorable, but again you must understand self-defense in the context of living in this world, and this is why I recommend that you learn about the Martial Arts. I also recommend that you read another one of my posts about the concept of "Working Out".

    For the most part this post has been a little bit rambling, but this is just the way that I go about the material world, but because I need to make things more clear, allow me to end this post with some further clarifications. The Western world is over, and this is signified by the lack of real men in the West, read more in my "Future Series". Since there are so few men in the world, the forces of destruction must dominate, and this is true and coincides with the current cosmic cycle in the Kali Yuga, and this is why modern men essentially suck, and while I do not prefer to use such a crude term, I believe that "suck" hits home.
