The hidden men of MGTOW, in a community that prides itself on having the world figured out.
Today I'm going to discuss MGTOW philosophy, and how it can be a trap, and how to get out of the trap.
We can begin by getting a definition for MGTOW. MGTOW stands for Men Going Their Own Way. If we look it up on Urban Dictionary or Wikipedia, we find some highly biased rhetoric such as it being a "misogynistic male supremacist group". Personally, I used to really like and trust Wikipedia, but sadly I find them promoting sources of hate and disinformation more everyday. Now this video isn't meant to uncover the rotten underbelly of Wikipedia, but if you'd like me to make an video on that, then leave me a comment.
I've been aware of the MGTOW community for years and I'm familiar with the content. So, instead of reading from biased sources, I'll just give my own rough definition as derived from the community itself. The core concepts of MGTOW being 1) recognizing the destructive nature of feminism 2) avoid measuring the value of your life by female standards 3) stop putting women on pedestals and 4) stop wasting your money and resources on women, and getting screwed over in return.
So far I have no disagreement with any of this. Recognizing these concepts is essentially a positive step toward understanding the natural roles between men and women. However, some MGTOW men take it a step further. Examples of taking it further are: seeking casual sex with some or many women without any commitment, or the other extreme, going monk status and swearing off sex entirely. Some MGTOW say that women are distraction from reaching wealth and happiness. I'll get into the problems I see with this later, but now let's look at more of the positives and truths that lure men to MGTOW.
When men are exposed to MGTOW concepts, they go through rather predictable phases of thought. First is shock or wonder at the the new information being presented. Second is processing the information, comparing it to previous real life experiences, and comparing it to their own personal biases. Life experiences and relationships cause us to be biased beyond our own conscious understanding. Third we have what is known as the choice of bluepill or redpill. Those who reject MGTOW ideas and continue their belief in modern cultural propaganda are bluepill. Alternatively, those who accept MGTOW ideas are and begin to change their life accordingly are seen as redpill.
Being redpill'd can radically alter the life of some men. It can be like seeing reality a new for the first time, hence the name redpill. For the first time they begin to see themselves freed from trying to live up to the expectations of others. No longer seeing women as innocent creatures that can do no wrong. Seeing University campuses as the indoctrination camps they have become. Being able to openly expose the lies of feminism, such as: women oppression, believing false accusations of rape, the female wage gap, and feminists supposedly only wanting legal equality. Also the newly redpill'd may be understanding for the first time how they themselves have been abused by women. Perhaps being raised by a single mother. Or had a gold digger girlfriend that used them only for their money or favors, and having relationships with other men. Or an ex-wife that took complete advantage of them using the court system.
There are a lot of ways that gaining this new perspective on reality can be extremely liberating. Some MGTOW men even claim it cured their depression, and I think that's absolutely to be expected. We live in a sick culture that suppresses masculinity in boys, and tells them that their natural expressions of masculinity are toxic. Today's boys aren't toxic, the culture is.
After living with this new MGTOW perspective of the world, men can make better decisions with their lives, and even enjoy their lives more. It's a freedom from trying to live up to a world of artificial standards. But where does it lead? MGTOW culture does truthfully reveal many of the lies perpetuated in society, but when you're set free from the lies, where do you go from there? If you've lived your entire life in a cage, how do you function once released? Do you just try to maximize your own personal wealth in life? Do you try to maximize happiness? Is that the ultimate purpose of your life?
For many in MGTOW culture, they just get by on that. Once someone is free from the lies, MGTOW culture doesn't necessarily have the best solutions on how to proceed in life, and it has far less solutions on how to stop society from degrading further. So the MGTOW men can see through the lies, but after time the novelty of this knowledge begins to wear off, and it's possible that a new kind of depression can set in. Or if not depression, then a sense of being lost, or displaced in life. Where are you going and why? And who guided you into thinking that was the direction you should go in? Is there any ultimate purpose to your life?
When we look around, we seem find other MGTOW men that also are in search of something missing in their lives. Just having a quick search can reveal many things. Here we can see some examples from Reddit.

There are dozens more posts just like these. So what is shaping these men this way?
Many people have remedies for trying to help out someone who is down and lost, such as, keep yourself busy with a hobby, or get animals, or get skills, or lift weights, or make more money. Everyone feels down from time to time, and I wouldn't say that these are all bad goals, but I disagree with the fundamental concept. A lack of meaning and purpose is not something to be solved by piling more and more busy distractions into your life, making you simply tired and exhausted.
Sometimes the best thing to help is removing things from your life. Materialism for example. Stop trying to find happiness in buying "things". You'll never succeed in buying happiness. Happiness is not a magical element exists inside "things". Stop sick and abusive relationships. Perhaps you cut off a relationship with a toxic girlfriend, but what about the other relationships in your life? Get rid of friends or people that distract you from deeply thinking about understanding reality and your future. Get rid of people that encourage you into negative habits. Stop consuming drugs and/or alcohol. If your consumption can't be controlled, you need to stop 100%. Escapism from reality is an anti-solution for managing your life. And finally, Stop seeking happiness. That's right, I said stop seeking happiness. This goes against all the programming you've probably ever received in life. Rethink about it. Happiness is short lived and fleeting. What you should seek is gratitude and inner peace. When you understand how to live a life of being absolutely grateful and feeling blessed, then you won't have to seek happiness. It will find you.
It's only after removing such negative things from your life can you begin to pile in a couple of good new things into your life. First create the vacuum, then you can insert something positive. Develop a routine to get out of the house to a healthy place where you can walk or meditate. Go to see, feel, and breath nature. Connect with the Earth.
And last thing is, I'll tell you now, you do have a higher purpose to your life. You come from a long and unbroken chain of decendents. A strong human lineage that goes back thousands of years. To those of excellence, your purpose relates to taking the strength of human lineage into the future. Many in MGTOW say that you should "become the best version of yourself", but best according to who? Becoming rich and fit sounds like a great idea, right? Yeah, it's a great idea according to the ideals of our sick culture. And this is why so many MGTOW escape one trap, only to blindly fall right into another. This statement "best version of yourself" means Nothing without your purpose. Follow me, and begin to see your ultimate purpose unfold before you.
Today I don't have the time, but in a later recording I may go into some things that I think many MGTOW men get wrong, such as: avoiding relationships and children, and thinking that women are nothing but a distraction in life.
For those listening to this right now and genuinely feeling really down in your life, I want to say a prayer for you before ending. I know I have some hardcore atheist listeners, so I just want you to know I'm not trying to convince anyone of the spaghetti monster, and you don't need to have any special beliefs. Only to relax, and open your mind.
Before I begin, I must note that giving thanks for everything is not saying that you have the best situation in life. In fact, you may be in a absolutely terrible situation in life. Having gratitude is the enlightened perception that things could often be extremely worse than they are now, and recognizing the all positive blessings we have experienced in life to this moment.
Always remember that you come from a long line of ancestors who fought to survive in the worst of imaginable conditions so that you could be here and alive today.
Say
"Our Ancestors, we give thanks and gratitude. Thank you for our loving relationships. Thank you for our good health. Thank you for our good finances. Thank you for self control. Thank you for self discipline. We pray for courage, strength, and endurance in the most difficult of times. Forever grateful, Our Ancestors."
