This is a short article about men, boys, fathers and sons, but I want to begin with these facts: the Vietnam War, (1955–1975), was a proxy war of the Cold War between South and North Vietnam in which America lost, and while the U.S. supported South Vietnam, the war itself was incredibly unpopular at home—America withdrew in 1973; there was approximately two million civilian deaths and 60,000 American military fatalities. The Persian Gulf War, (1990–1991), was a U.N. authorized coalition led by the Americans and British and fought against Iraq after the invasion of Kuwait on Saddam Hussein’s orders. There were 20,000 to 35,000 civilian deaths and over 300 American military fatalities not to mention Gulf War Illness measured at nearly 250,000. The War in Afghanistan, (2001–2021), started when America invaded Afghanistan in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center & the Pentagon, and Bush’s declared War on Terror. America lost this war as well with a disgraceful exit; (in all, 45,000 civilian deaths occurred in the two decades’ war with 2,500 American military deaths & over 20,000 wounded, and over 100 billion in military equipment left behind). In the second Iraq War, (2003–2011), America invaded Iraq without provocation, (indeed, the Neocon operatives and intellectuals were completely deceitful about Saddam Hussein’s connection to al Qaeda and his regime’s alleged WMDs), moreover, more than 200,000 civilian deaths occurred in the civil conflict that followed, over 4,500 American servicemen died, and it came with a cost, as we near 2025, approaching two trillion dollars. In the American Intervention in Yemen, (2002–present), an ongoing conflict has led to 200,000 civilian deaths by direct action or the result of famine. The American Intervention in the War in North-West Pakistan, (2004–2018), was a conflict in Pakistan where there were 7,000 military casualties; 1,000 civilian deaths. The second American intervention in the Somali Civil War, (2007–present), is an ongoing conflict where there are 1,000 civilian deaths and 100 American military casualties so far. This not to mention, America’s involvement in the past decades, in Bosnia, East Timor, Guatemala, Chile, El Salvador, the Ukraine and places with hundreds of thousands of deaths and horrible overall results. They were all failures, and produced intense American enmity around the world, which since the October 7 Hamas attack, and the following American-backed Israelis’ genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, has exponentially grown. America is now the evil empire that Reagan called out the USSR for, back in his heyday. Many Jewish fundamentalists believe that their race is the superior race of the whole world, in the same way that, in the Teutonic romantic era, German intellectuals in the 1930s thought they were the master race. It is the same logic behind the Israeli Zionists committing a horrible genocide currently, in the same manner, that the German Nazis, also committed in WWII. As well, just as Germany, back then, was a warrior nation, Israel is a warrior nation today.
One of the things we want to start with is a direct genetic distinction between women and men, not a social or cultural difference, but a hard-wired division. Ninety eight percent of the military deaths mentioned above, (and throughout history), were men, and there is a solid reason for that, and it is an evolutionary-biological one that dates back millions of years. Males evolved to take risks, seek adventure, to war, often rape, pillage and murder other tribes, and especially, hunt. What we are going to show you below is unimaginable, irrefutable, empirical data about men, boys, and especially boys without fathers. This data will be like Canadian Zoologist, Dr. Susan Crockford’s science in counting polar bears, not theorizing the count given in the U.N. charter around a climate crisis and what the count would likely be, but going out in the field and actually counting polar bears. That’s how we know there is over 30,000 of them and not 15,000 as Green propagandists proclaim. That is how real empirical science works. In other words, don't ever trust the science; your job as an independent mind is to be skeptical; period. This is what actually happened in 1973: the Arctic nations, including America, Russia and Canada, got together and signed a treaty banning the indiscriminate killing of polar bears, (i.e., The Agreement on the Conservation of Polar Bears). This why their numbers have been growing for decades because like the whales before them, their threat was not the weather or their immediate environment, but humankind's thirst for blubber and fur (i.e., hunting and fishing).
Another misunderstood, but fundamental inconvenient fact, regarding the climate and the earth is that in the last seventy years—due to CO2 emissions—the greening of the planet has increased dramatically, indeed, by 40 percent. Important facts are misrepresented in the mass media accounts on almost everything—none of their reporting should be believed—and this is done on purpose, like that fact that in 2021, globally, maybe, 1.5 to 3 million people died of Covid, but 5 million died in accidents, a quarter of them in vehicle accidents, and the vast majority of the fatalities of the accidents, in that timeframe, were males. These are simple facts being kept from the people, who need to know these sorts of things to be informed about the situation in the world. The mass-media frauds say, "Don't do your own research!" This is nonsense. You must, indeed are compelled, to think for yourself; so, you must do your own research and reject authority. There can never be any independent arbiter of truth, especially the spooks from spy agencies and politicians who lie for a living. You must stop listening to legacy media and find independent journalists such as Julian Assange, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, Lee Fang, Michael Shellenberger, Chris Hedges, Briahna Joy Gray, Leighton Woodhouse, Max Blumenthal, Catherine Herridge, David Zweig, Paul D Thacker, Jacob Siegel, Seymour Hersh, Candice Owens, Jeremy Loffrado & Aaron Maté from the Grayzone, Nicholas J Fuentes, Laura Poitras, Jonathan Cook, David Sirota, Alex Gutentag, Walter Kirn, Chris Brunet, Tucker Carlson, Jimmy Dore, Joe Rogen, Russell Brand and many others. If the shameless lying mass media attack any journalist, that journalist is probably a good source of truthful independent information.
Next let’s start with a dozen or so broad differences between females and males, (keeping in mind that there are also outliers like the grandmother who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and lived to a hundred and the father who ate right (i.e., real food), and was super-fit, and died at fifty. Some broad facts about men, boys, fathers, and sons: (these are all approximate global figures except where otherwise stated); 98% of military casualties are male; 79% of homicides are committed by men; 75% of work accident fatalities are male; 75% of vehicle accident deaths are male; 78% of violent crimes are committed by males; 35% of males smoke compared to 10% of women; 78% use hard drugs compared to 22% of women; males are four times more likely to commit suicide than females; 70% of the homeless are males; 70% of civilian war fatalities are males; 35% of men play team sports compared to 15% of females; boys are four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls; and fist-fights in adolescents occur from 40% to 65% in boys and 10% to 30% in girls, given differing country’s figures. The following are U.S. figures: 85% of youths in prisons grew up in a fatherless home; 71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes; 80% of rapists come from fatherless homes; 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes; 90% of homeless children are from fatherless homes; 85% of children with behavioural disorders come from fatherless homes; 90% of adolescent repeat arsonists live with only their mother; 90% of homicides are committed by males between the ages of 15 to 35 and 85% of those come from fatherless homes; 43% of urban teens live away from their fathers; and, 42% of fathers fail to see their children after the divorce.
Now, let’s discuss just for a moment why it is not a crisis, but the crisis. Males have been abandoned by the intellectual milieu of the Western democracies. Discussing manhood and the problems of young males now, and male responsibility, pride, achievements amounts to the charge of toxic masculinity which among Leftist elites is translated in some fabled way as an affront to female gains in the last half of the century, and especially after the Trump win, when Liberals, who loathe absolutely everything about virility, endurance, manliness, ruggedness, and toughness, believe male youths turned their backs on the Dems via hegemonic masculinity, a doctrine so filled with abhorence of maleness, as to be pure unadorned racism. Male struggles and challenges are not a mirror of female problems and challenges, for instance, more than three million American females entered higher education than males by 2022, (US figures but happening in many other places in the West), and yet, the victimhood among female influencers out there in the never-never land of the victimization crowd, is simply mythical; breathless in its lack of empathy for 49 percent of the population! Boys addicted to on-line gambling, high potency drugs, pornography, video-games, having low self-esteem, suffering from despair, having high unemployment and feeling the ominous lack of opportunity, is, (if you paid attention to the suicide rate above), litterally killing them.
Men are something quite particular away from the nurturing, food gatherer, and loving mother inside the, us--them, component of the hunter-gatherer biological model, which humans were a part of for thousands of millenniums, and moreover, which produced us, within this tangled web, inside of which, we find ourselves today. Evolution produced hard-wired differences that cannot be surmounted by social, cultural and especially, political finesse. So when third wave Lesbian feminists, get up on stage to debate, “Are Men Obsolete?”, it is racist-sexist in the most fundamental and extreme way, as well as being irrational, and devoid of any science or empirical data; and to think, they won that debate. Here there wasn’t even a single straight man on stage to articulate what an onerous task a modern young male in 2024 faces, and I will tell you why. Anyone associated with male organizations are targeted by progressive well-financed groups, (for the most part, female chauvinists), and run out of town or shouted down in the most rude and uncaring manner or deplatformed and de-amplified by the super politicized, (i.e., controlled by the spy agencies of the U.S. government), and the fraudulent googles and facebooks of big tech. To ask the question, “What is it to be a man?” is to throw suspicion over your whole effort, as though the question alone was equivalent to trying to start a KKK organization. It is beyond creepy, because, out away from the war-towers of the neoliberal globalists, is real middle-working class male angst, suffering and lack of direction. It is there for any fool to see, except of course the academic elitists, who have on east coast blinders to this, and many other facts, like their current lurch toward totalitarianism.
Why has this happened? In the decades leading up to the crisis, the loss of the patriarchy became completely transformed, and it did so, (or at least should have), it was believed, without any unintended consequences; however, there are always unintended consequences. This cultural change was coupled with a general lessoning for boys of education, worthwhile middle-class jobs, lowering of religiosity, spiritualism, and organized religion, it led directly to a general loss of purpose for many male youths, and instead, devolved into a quick hayride into hedonism, where many, starting in the fifties and going to the present, got lost in sex, alcohol, drugs, egocentricity, jazz, rock & roll, and rap. Widespread vocal and digital support for radical third-wave neo-Marxist feminism signalled for many males to feel shame for masculinity and masculine traits, (indeed, sometimes to hide and suppress them), to which progressives almost always attached the word ‘toxic’. Male commitment to family membership in the minorities softened over this 70-80 year period, especially as the bloated welfare-state, subsidized, single mothers, and society, allowed males to shirk their fatherhood responsibilities, eventually motherhood alone came to be celebrated, and ultimately spread like a cancer through much of North American culture. Even for a young man today to listen to the Joe Rogan Experience, (the single most watched podcast in the world and sometimes garnishing 15 to 50 million views a week, and often like with Elon Musk or President Trump, a 100 million or more in a few days), became an accusation of virulence from grandmothers, mothers, sisters, girlfriends and female friends of all sorts. This became 51 percent of the human (Western), population, uniting to oppress (or at least ignore) the 49 percent minority, caught out in a vulnerable time with the ascent of females' cultural, social and political power. When Vice-President Harris refused to come to Austin to talk to Joe Rogen during the election, young men's radar rose in unity and 30 percent of them went from the Democrats to Trump. They sensed the regular contempt from the Left, (which they knew well from previous me-too, wokeness, etcetera), and in 2024 did something about it.
At sometime in the near past, fatherhood was illustrious and thought of as an absolute necessity as reflected in early TV shows and movies; guess what? As the figures above reveal, it still is. Now in Hollywood, (this current phoney world of make-believe--this dismal place of empty dreams at the heart of America’s illusion), the Caucasian man, (often portrayed as Russian or East European brutes), are endlessly beating, killing, raping or enslaving young girls in the stupidest plots of every clerisy hack ever taken to transform truth to the lie of the current legend. The mass-media, political propaganda and the Hollywood disinformation complex is everywhere today, while the truth, (i.e., that almost all men love and protect the women in their lives, and you as a woman, should have them on your side as boys, lovers, husbands and fathers), they are mostly great in those roles if you have, as a daughter, girlfriend, wife and mother, some patience with them. I have shown, there are some hard-wired differences that cannot be ignored away, so some formal rules of engagement need to be adhered to, and some laws protecting the family unit enforced, especially about delinquent fathers. While there's no going back to Father Knows Best, we could do a version of ‘The Wisdom of Dads’ and treat this absolute necessity of fatherhood with the intellectual respect that it deserves.
