The Case for Trump 2024: Political Pornography

We all know why Lucas Gage, a US veteran, was suspended, harassed, and received death threats aimed at him and his family.

Meanwhile, these Zionists calling for the death of Palestinian children and the flattening of Gaza face no suspensions or consequences at all. pic.twitter.com/RkjdflDYvq

I’m sure this series has befuddled quite a few activists. 

Why would anyone vote for Donald Trump in 2024 to achieve modest goals like less inflation, lower immigration levels, better judges and to protect free speech and gun rights?

DON’T YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED?

DON’T YOU KNOW THE JEWS CONTROL OUR POLITICS? 

The activist and his relationship to politics has been the subject of this entire series.

Everything that I have written about Trump and the 2024 election is shot through with skepticism about activists. Yes, I have developed a more positive view of Donald Trump, but what has changed the most over the past four years is that I have developed a more critical perspective of activists.

Specifically, I have been struck by the parallels that I have noticed between how activists spiral over time in their “red pill” journeys and how pornography addictions escalate. There have been times when I have wondered if some genres of far right politics should be understood as pornographic in that they are highly addictive and seem to routinely lead to similar negative real world consequences over time.

Consider the following:

• Pornography is highly addictive
• Porn addictions escalate over time as porn addicts fry out their dopamine receptors
• Porn addicts receive less dopamine from real world activities and find less enjoyment in those activities like sports, socializing and spending time with their family. They prefer to consume online content that spikes their dopamine levels beyond normal stimulus levels
• Porn has an isolating effect because addicts find greater rewards in screentime
• Porn warps the minds and arousal templates of men
• Porn causes financial and reputational damage
• Porn causes severe damage to all relationships (friends, family, marriages, employer)
• Porn addicts have a negative vibe because it changes their bioelectrical energy
• Porn has physical side effects like erectile dysfunction
• Porn causes debilitating mental illness
• Porn creates irritability and negativity
• Porn is consumed anonymously online
• Porn robs men of their motivation by depleting dopamine levels
• Porn exacerbates communication problems with the opposite sex
• Porn addicts lose their sense of joy
• Porn destroys attention spans
• Porn addicts are much less satisfied with normal sexual relationships
• Porn addicts act out their fetishes in the real world
• Porn addicts prefer their fantasy world to the real world
• Porn consumption is masturbatory
• Porn addicts experience higher levels of alienation, depression and despair

Does any of this sound familiar?

Porn addicts warp their minds by linking the brain’s internal reward system to the screen and by depleting their brains of dopamine. They develop a bad habit which becomes a compulsion. As the habit escalates, they move from genre to genre, which changes their baseline arousal template. Suddenly, vanilla sex won’t do it for them anymore. They only become aroused by the most hardcore stuff.

Take Lucas for example.

He used to be a Marine and a normal guy who enjoyed going to clubs and picking up women at the beach in New Jersey. This was before he got red pilled by reading 500 books about the Third Reich and the Holocaust and consuming 3,000 hours of videos and podcasts about the Jewish Question. He has put on a lens through which he now sees the world which has warped his vision. He has been subtly changed by this. He hasn’t simply developed a habit of talking about Jews. He now has an addictive obsession with talking about Jews. He spikes his dopamine levels by logging on to X to talk about Jews.

Some activists would say that it is an unqualified good thing that Lucas has discovered THE TRUTH about the Jews and is shouting it from the rooftops on X. We can grant the point that Lucas is right to be morally outraged by Israel’s genocide in Gaza. We can grant that Lucas has made a lot of enemies who want to destroy his life and who have reported him to the FBI and have sent SWAT teams to his house. We can grant that many of the statistics that Lucas cites about Jewish power and influence are accurate. Jewish wealth, influence and power is highly taboo. We can agree it is a real social problem.

And yet, we can also see a negative trajectory over time. He is going too far with his hobby horse. He is crossing the line between telling the truth and becoming obsessed. He is not balancing the time that he is spending on X clashing with Jews with other activities. He refuses to log off after he has been swatted half a dozen times. Now he is in his backyard slashing an Israeli flag with a Roman gladius. Today he is saying on Telegram that his wife has left him and he has lost the support of his entire family.

Just observing Lucas over the past month, you can see that his obsession with talking about Jews on X is taking a toll on his mental health. It is taking a toll on his relationships. It is taking a toll on his financial well being. He is becoming a less effective communicator. The swatting has caused enormous stress in his life, but he cannot stop, take a break and prioritize other things. He has an activist brain on autopilot which he has trained through thousands of hours of intentional exercises to focus on TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE JEWS. He experiences anxiety when he isn’t talking about Jews. He has to log on to X or Telegram to talk about Jews to get the dopamine hit to calm his nervous system.

Several people have chimed on X to tell me that the same thing has happened to other activists like Kyle Hunt, Patrick Little and Paul Nehlen. They tell me it is common to become as obsessed with the Jewish Question as Gage and to end up broke, isolated, lonely, divorced, exhausted. Kyle Hunt and Sinead spiraled into extreme anti-Christianity and flat earthism before their marriage ended. There are many, many other examples like Matt Heimbach who in the span of about six years in his red pill journey spiraled from an SCV flagger to getting thrown out of the NSM and collapsing into alcoholism, divorce and depression. Along the way, he found the time to create his own short lived National Socialist third party.

My takeaway from all of these cautionary tales is not just that our enemies want to do us harm. This much is true and obvious. It is that activists have a tendency to spiral out of control, lose touch with reality in jargon filled internet ghettos, lose their ability to relate to and connect with others and become less and less satisfied engaging in normal political activity. They become socially isolated, hyper alienated and cope by permanently moving into their fantasy worlds. They damage their relationships. They become irritable, overly negative and cynical. Some become so mentally ill that they lash out and engage in violence. It is almost like they have been exposed to some kind of disabling toxic substance.

JQ obsession often leads to an unhealthy, unbalanced lifestyle that over time just breaks the brains of activists and destroys their financial well being, relationships and ability to communicate with others. Activists can spend so much time thinking about Jews that they warp their minds, fry out their dopamine receptors and destroy their attention spans. Anything done to excess whether it is eating and drinking or playing video games or shopping can become destructive. The same principle applies here.

JQ obsessives will read this article and have a knee jerk reaction. YOU ARE TELLING US NOT TO TALK ABOUT JEWS. What I am really saying is …. talk about Jews after you have played with your kids, taken your wife out for dinner, paid your bills, watched a movie, cleaned your house, mowed the lawn, gone to the gym, taken a walk outside in the sunshine, etc. When you are living a fantastic and fulfilling life that brings you joy and have checked all your other boxes, THEN you should log on to X to talk about Jews. If you do not find other activities as fulfilling as talking about Jews and you cannot stop and you have an obsessive compulsive need to TELL THE TRUTH about Jews, then you have a major problem which is likely a brain issue. You are on the neurological road to becoming a crank which does not help your cause.

This phenomena has nothing particularly to do with Donald Trump and was around decades ago. It will be around along after he is gone too. It has colored how I personally see his campaign though. I have seen lots of activists warp through minds through JQ obsession and going down other bizarre rabbit holes to the point where they are now supporting Kamala Harris. This has made returning to normal rightwing political activity more appealing to me than it was four years ago because it is not stimulating.

After what I have seen over the years, I now would rather do something boring like sit down at my desk and spend twenty minutes writing and mailing a letter to my congressman. Intentional work like this isn’t going to destroy my attention span. It isn’t going to fry out my dopamine receptors and rob me of my motivation. It isn’t going to become an obsessive compulsive need or habit that distorts my mind. Writing a letter will build mindfulness. It isn’t going to turn my brain into a scrambled egg.

As usual, the point of this article is to explain my own thinking because otherwise you would not understand the shifts in my position. I am not telling you to vote for Donald Trump. You are capable of making your own decisions. This is my attempt to flesh out my own inner monologue.

1. The Right finally moves on from Trump in 2028

2. The Alt-Right has terrible political instincts

3. Joe Biden has been a sedative as president

4. Activist brain blinds us and creates prejudice against conservative normies

5. Trump is the leader because he is the best of the Republicans

6. “Worse is better” is a cope and was tried in 2020 and maintains the status quo

7. Voting is not a sacrament. Few know this

8. Voting is not going to change anything about Zionism in the next four years

9. Activists have the chance to ride the Trump wave without making the same mistakes

10. Activists are running out of material because the Overton Window has shifted so much

11. Donald Trump is a hunted dog who has been backed into a corner

15. The cause of anti-Zionism depends on internet free speech

16. Donald Trump is reviled by our elites because he is an obstacle to their agenda

17. Donald Trump’s Supreme Court appointments have been improving his legacy
