You Owe Nothing to Society

If you are a man, you’ve grown up being told that:

1. You “owe” things to the world: to society, to women, to your country, etc.
2. You must sacrifice yourself wherever necessary to earn “respect”.

This is actually a complete and total lie you have been taught on all levels.

The Cake is a Lie

Let me start at the second half of the lie: “you must sacrifice yourself wherever necessary to earn respect”.

Society DOES NOT respect men who sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Society as a whole (on a group level, not on an individual level) is highly psychopathic and does not care about anything beyond “what can you do for me” and “what have you done for me lately”.

Any sacrifice made is quickly forgotten and there is no gratitude beyond words (which are worthless).

For example, you can join a war, risk your life, and come back home with PTSD and physical handicaps. Within a few years after the war is over, people will completely forget your sacrifice and will view your handicaps and trauma as too painful to watch and try to literally get you out of their sight.

Most people will say “thank you for your service” but very few will take their wallet out and give you money to help you pay next month’s rent, even though they all know that you need it, because the war pension is not enough and your physical handicaps prevent you from doing high paying labor.

This is the equivalent of telling a man dying of thirst “thank you for your service” while not giving him a sip from your bottle.

Society as a whole DOES NOT respect male sacrifice. It simply expects it.

What society actually respects is power and money, NO MATTER HOW YOU ACQUIRE IT.

For example, we know most politicians are highly corrupt and yet they are treated with respect wherever they go.

We know most celebrities are spiritually prostitutes whose “opinions” can be purchased for money, and yet they are treated with respect wherever they go.

People respect them because association with them fulfills the “what can you do for me” criteria.

Being associated with a politician allows you access to information, favors, and access to government machinery at a much higher level than the general population, and this is why even those who are just associated with politicians are highly respected.

In the case of celebrities, association raises your social status.

If you can find a way to steal $500 million like a politician, and slowly give away $50 million over the next 20 years as highly public donations, grants to the needy, money for religious events, etc. the vast majority of the population will treat you with very high respect, even though you kept 90% of the money you stole.

Again, society does not respect your sacrifice. It only respects what you can do for them (which in most cases involves power and money, and sometimes high levels of technical skills).

You do not owe anything to society

Now, moving back to the first part of the lie: “You owe things to the world: to society, to women, to your country, etc.”

The idea that men owe something to society is an inherited value from societal structures and assumptions that no longer exist.

A simple example is that men of the past had power over women, and thus also the responsibility to protect them. A modern man has no power over women, but is still expected to protect them.

A woman can cheat on a man, but she will still receive half his wealth and a good portion of his future income by using the court system.

As a man, you are entirely helpless against this state sanctioned robbery of the hard earned rewards of the sweat of your brow, but you are still expected to die to protect women, and to protect the state.

In fact, women will outright TELL YOU that you are supposed to provide for them to qualify as a “real man” (if you are a man, read the linked article to break out of the brainwashing) while at the same time asking to be treated as equals in power and decision making.

LAWS will force you to treat her equally in power and decision making, while exerting moral and social pressure on you to sacrifice yourself for their benefit.

Note: This is why it is so important to choose the right woman for marriage. Who you marry is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. Read The Wife Guide.

Take a day out and read the book in full, because if you mess it up, you will pay for it for the rest of your life.

Society DOES NOT care about you beyond your use as a workhorse, tax payer, and cannon fodder.

This can simply be seen from the male suicide rate and the reactions to it.

Suicide is a leading cause of male death. Close to a million people die of suicide each year.

Every 20 years, more people commit suicide than those who died in WW1. No one cares about this, because no one cares about men. Society treats men as entirely disposable.

Especially modern society where you do not have any rights or authority, but have a long list of responsibilities.

The reality is that you owe modern society NOTHING. It already takes more from you than it gives you.

You don’t owe anything to anyone except your parents and family, if they cared for you (some unlucky people do not even get parental care), and your children.

You owe nothing at all to the public at large (including “women”, “the needy”, “starving people in Africa”, etc.) except what they give you: worthless WORDS.

Unless you have authority over something, or are getting paid to do it, or it directly affects your interests, you have no “duty” to sacrifice yourself for it, no matter what you were told or how “wrong” it feels (brainwashing).

To give you some concrete examples:

1. You do not need to join the army to fight and die in a foreign geopolitical war
2. You should minimize taxes as much as possible instead of thinking you are wrong not to pay your “fair share”
3. You should sleep with lots of women before you marry, instead of acting as if you are “more moral” (granted that this is usually a delusion and not a real choice being made)
4. You don’t have to give money away to “causes” because you are not the one causing the problem (Fun fact: Most charity money ends up in the pockets of their management via some or the other route)
5. If you do not like a situation, you can leave. You do not need to do things that are highly detrimental to you “for the greater good”

Do not let anyone guilt trip you or shame you for doing what is best for yourself. These people will not be there to help you when you need it.

Make a laundry list of people who will actually show up to help you with money and help should you become destitute and handicapped. These are the only people you owe anything to.

The rest are simply freeloaders.
