"WhatifAlthist" | World History, Philosophy, Culture

Our society believes in NOTHING—it's a soggy cardboard box that most prefer hiding inside rather than facing reality. As one of the few influencers shaping the emerging digital right's ideology, I'm offering principles for what I call the "not left" coalition. This 2.5-year project aims to give men something worth dying for as our meaningless, suicidally depressed culture continues melting down around us. 🔥 Apply to join over 400 founders and Execs in the Turpentine Network: https://hmplogxqz0y.typeform.com/to/JCkphVqj -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

Western young men are treated as second-class citizens while society maintains a bizarre normality bias—pretending everything is fine during history's most rapidly changing period. After 10 years on YouTube watching my demographic get systematically pushed around, I can't stay silent. This personal message offers understanding and practical advice to help young men navigate a society that's openly hostile to them. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

Russia has been one of the most powerful countries in world history. The world's view is too focused on Russia today, but there are several assumptions you need to change about Russian civilization to understand the Russian mind and Russian civilization.

Growing up with children's books portraying world religions as quaint cultural superstitions reveals our society's fatal blindness. Modernity can see religion's outer trappings but remains INCAPABLE of comprehending its soul. Throughout history, religion wasn't just important—it was EVERYTHING, propelling entire civilizations. This anthropological exploration explains why religious belief dominates every successful society and what catastrophic patterns emerge when cultures abandon the divine. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

Looking back at my "normie" teenage self, I see how far down the rabbit hole I've fallen. Every few years brings another paradigm-destroying realization separating me further from conventional understanding. This third consecutive reality-shattering episode might finally give you words for truths you've always sensed intuitively—or seem so unbelievable you'll dismiss it entirely. Yet the strangest things in science fiction pale compared to actual reality when you know where to look. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

This revelation completely transformed my daily existence. Like the famous optical illusion where some see an old woman while others see a young one, reality contains multiple interpretations—but only one is correct. Even among the highly educated and intelligent, almost nobody knows this information. By the end, you'll experience the equivalent of a movie's plot twist that retroactively changes EVERYTHING you thought you understood about the world we inhabit. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.

I've predicted American civil war since 2020, but what once seemed distant historical speculation has become immediate reality. Political LARPing always precedes actual conflict—until suddenly the costumes become uniforms. Texas rejecting federal authority, states sending troops to borders, removing candidates from ballots—these unprecedented actions mirror 1860 exactly. Violence will likely erupt within the year, potentially before the 2024 election even occurs. -- SPONSORS: NetSuite:  More than 41,000 businesses have already upgraded to NetSuite by Oracle, the #1 cloud financial system bringing accounting, financial management, inventory, HR, into ONE proven platform.
