Pathology: Anger & Depression

One would assume psychotherapists and counselors are savvy to the therapeutic benefits of anger. The bulk of the therapeutic industry however is captured by the feelgood cliches of PC culture, advising men to find ways other than anger to express themselves, referring to it as ‘toxic anger'. Such practitioners are unlikely to consider any expression of anger acceptable, preferring instead to nip it in the bud with kindly admonishments about it being a barrier to progress and personal growth.

Expressions of anger which move beyond healthy expression and into the rage-zone often come on the tail of being ignored when a man is expressing anger within more normal ranges. That rejection is what the PC therapist ironically tends to specialize in through his refusal of the anger that a man might otherwise use to articulate what’s pissing him off.


The purpose of emotions, or rather the aim of them is to find a way out; as tears on the cheek, smiles on the lips, clenched fists, or the quivering of the bowels. Anger likewise wants out – as outrage. In this move anger finds a target; it rages out at the family law courts, the misandric TV ads, the lack of funding for male health problems, infant circumcision, male homelessness. We don’t even need to have solutions to the things we’re angry about, at least not initially. 

The real danger here is that if you don’t get the anger out, if you don’t engage in outrage, it always finds another way. 

The old saying “Anger turned inward is depression” rings true for far too many men.  

The process of anger morphing into depression can be referred to as sublimation, a swapping of a supposedly unacceptable emotion for a more acceptable one in the eyes of our PC culture. The end result of that process is often suicide, and the therapeutic industry is directly implicated for some of those suicides by reason of its suppression of male clients’ anger.

The man-friendly therapist encourages expression of anger as a prophylactic against depression and suicide, and as a way to potentially reverse depression and suicidality in those already there.

Contemporary Game

Game is, at its most basic level, a set of behavioral changes to life skills based on psychological and sociological concepts to enhance intersexual relationships between men and women. The supremacy of the Feminine Imperative is threatened by true emancipation from it. Consequently, Men with the vision to see past this are labeled Dark, Sociopathic and Deviant by the imperative. The imperative had to classify Game for itself - Evil vs. Good Game. Of course, the good is defined by whatever benefits the imperative, while the evil is defined by whatever benefits the masculine ‘selfishly.' Ref: The Rational Male

Tale of Two Wolves

This idea that you have so much goodness in you that you can speak your desires into the universe, and god will appear from a jinni lamp and grant you your wishes because you are such a noble person created to be a winner and champion is a Sheol-bred lie. That is because inside man exists two wolves at war with one another. There's a good one and a bad one. The one who wins this battle is the one you feed.  In the light of the abovementioned native American folktale, St. Paul examined his inner experience and saw another law in his cravings and desires, warring against the principle of his mind, and bringing him into captivity to the rule of the flesh that is in his appetites and wants.  In conclusion to this observation, he exclaimed, "wretched and miserable man that I am! Who will [rescue me and] set me free from this body of death [this corrupt, mortal existence]?."  That exclamation encapsulates humanity's occulted struggle to understand what they do, despite expr...

Unified Field Theory Psychiatry

Whether one examines the microcosm of the individual white personality or the macrocosm of the global white collective, the law of white genetic survival stands. That law can be stated in the following equation: white power over non-white powerlessness, or w÷nw. Nonetheless, the implication of the law for whites is a failure of individual and collective white self-respect, based upon the negative image and concept of the self.  In the white collective, there is self-esteem, which is a compensatory inflated sense of the self, but there is not fundamental respect for the genetic white self. The implications for psychiatry are as follows: based on a negative image and concept of self, brain-computer evolves pattern of neurochemistry, logic, thought, speech, action, emotional response, and perception that are self- and group-negating and productive of disharmony in the universe. These are patterns of neurochemistry and behavior consistent with various degrees of mental illness.  B...
