Degeneracy

	The fundamental issue with non-degenerates is that they fail to accurately diagnose the pathology of the degenerate. Shame and humiliation does not act as a motivator for these creatures to change or improve, but instead either serves to bolster the victim complex on which they base their entire identity… or sexually arouse them. Like how bronies, faggots, and other fringe groups thrive on the derision of others, because they use that external pressure to clump together more tightly.
	Do you know what the antithesis to these creatures is? It is excellence; achievement, success, the extraordinary, the great heights to which the human mind and soul and body can soar. You must inspire in them the crippling inadequacy you wish them to feel not through your words, but your actions–not in a manner with which they are familiar and desensitized, and for which they have developed rhetoric to ignore or re-purpose, but in an undeniable and glorious way.
	You cannot attack them from the outside, but you can seize on their inadequacy from within. Be big and they will realize how small they are.

	Calling something degeneracy is not an indication of distaste; it’s in the context of a functioning human society. A deteriorating society is very much a degenerate one.

	Having your people become unhealthy is degenerate.
	Having your people’s birth rates drop is degenerate.
	Having your men and women become so repulsive to the opposite sex is degenerate.
	Having your young adults still dependent on their parents is degenerate.
	Having queers is degenerate.
	Having drug culture is degenerate.

	Leftists don’t like the word ‘degenerate’ because leftists always want revolution by means of destroying established points of order. Leftists also don’t like to think of their degeneracy as dangerous to the well-being of a society because they live in such luxury that they think they can afford some slackening of the vigilance that brought their luxury to them in the first place.

	What is degeneracy?
	At the risk of a serious comment, I might suppose that the term degeneracy relates to the fact that these activities are more prevalent in a community when that community’s higher, more noble, and less hedonistic principles have degenerated. Likewise, submission to vice is nothing to be proud of; it is facile and achieves enjoyment without contributing good for others.
	An act of degeneracy becomes a problem when people dismiss the deleterious effects thereof accumulated over time and move to promote it as something good, through upsetting peoples’ values that build and sustain civilization. When abused, it robs the person of time and effort spent on more enriching pursuits. If a culture celebrates these things, they suffer. The only thing separating us from animals is the learned discipline of our peers and elders that must be retaught every generation. More can be achieved for a community if we don’t succumb to every temptation for gratification at every opportunity. This isn’t a judgment, it’s historical fact.
	Vices can be present, as they emerge naturally. But to glorify them or celebrate them as worthy ideals equal to or greater than their abstinence is simply harmful, and thus degenerates their potential to enjoy the better things in life reserved for humans. When you encourage someone to enjoy vice, something they can discover without encouragement, you are not giving them anything they couldn’t discover themselves for enjoyment.
	Instead, you are deceiving them through advocating a false premise–the equality of indulgence with abstinence–doing them a disservice, and promoting their self-harm. In essence, whether you mean to or not, you are hurting them by messing with their mind and values. You are using peer suggestion to subvert their preexisting values, which took time and discipline to create, and the time and loving efforts of others that helped that person build them. It is ultimately a hurtful thing to do to someone, and especially cruel to attack a child or teen with such false equations, as he will suffer the most if he accepts the doubt of his own virtues. If he succumbs, he will suffer the longest, as will anyone he then encourages out of loneliness in his new vice, thus his community.
	This is why “degenerates” have always been a social joke and punching bag. They cease to be when culture has become too corrupt to know the difference. I apply these same standards to any industry or agenda of vice. To mock them as a joke may be comical, but, to be honest, it belies the degree of pain and hurt it causes the poor humans compromised with these false ideas. Even sadder is that it may not affect the one who promotes such ideas as badly as it will effect the one to whom he promotes, as people have different resources, constitutions, and tolerances, both physically and psychologically. Then it is not only false at a social level, but on an individual level, as well, and cruel.

	Sounds like you’re just trying to rationalize and justify your own moral bankruptcy. Of course, whenever you’re held accountable for your misdeeds, you cry and moan about how you’re being oppressed by moralist scum, sheep of society not nearly as free-spirited and open-minded as yourself, when all you did was build a bullshit philosophy that makes it OK for you to behave no better than an animal. It is you who is laughable, because someone who cannot even overcome their own base desires is unfit to speak of either morals or justice.

	We’re all part of it, whether we want it or not. Even /pol/ is a result of the structure. We’re not free, we never were, and thus the only illusion of freedom that was peddled to us was ignorance. “Ignorance is bliss.” From every direction, we’re being assaulted by the ringing and buzzing of our telecoms. Everyone is busy talking to themselves while talking with each other. It’s no wonder that some of us are lonelier than ever. Everywhere we turn, there is a screen with entertainment being displayed. The line between news and entertainment has been blurred maliciously by an organic movement of interests, all working toward the goal of sedating the population to solutions and agitating them over threats both real and fabricated. Our job is no longer to work the land or to create a valuable good; our job is to simply put our hours into the System and consume the bargaining chips it gives us. That is the purpose we’re all moving toward–to consume and to demand for more.
	What is the point of being born anymore? What is this talk of freedom when our children will be born into a world of debt slavery and civil liberties curbed in the name of corporate interest. The policies and laws that govern our social lives are being formulated by lobbyists whose sole purpose is to regulate behavior and sanitize human nature to maximize the profit of their globalist overlords. They seek to sterilize our thoughts so that we may not dissent. They’ve stolen history and twisted it so that we learn the lessons that “they” see fit. The statistics behind population growth–birthrates–have become a resource in and of themselves. Where once we could measure prosperity in the truest sense of the word, now we will measure the availability of resources to be allocated and exchanged. Like commodities! Is this the best we can do? To let ourselves be turned into a service good? A number among numbers for a select few who think themselves gods over man and nature?
	We’re becoming so vacuous and shallow–being treated like currency will do that to a person. We’re becoming so vacuous that we’ve turned our faces to the mirror and with a touch of madness were like Narcissus, so hopelessly in love with ourselves and our noise that all that matters to us is our own absorption in the idealized image on the surface. Is this all we have left? Just a slow and steady skid down apathy and infinite hedonism? What will be of the human race when our children inherit the earth? Will they look after us and preserve our disgraced form in its senile mockery of itself? Or will they destroy all of our works and start anew, always with the reminder not to commit the sins of the father?

	The release of dopamine in the brain is tied to a reward system that gives incentive to instinctual elements of the body to chase something. Simply, orgasm makes you feel good, therefore you make the effort to seek it through reproduction. Otherwise, we’d end up like pandas. Eating feels good, so you seek food for now and later. Happiness feels good, so you seek things that generate it. In the environment where Man was adapted to live before fire was even mastered, this meant that for that reward you had to apply the effort needed for it. For reaching orgasm, you would need to reproduce and secure offspring. For food, go hunting or create some system like agriculture. In essence, this reward system is just that, reward–or incentive–to accomplish that which would benefit you through other means.
	Hedonism in itself is maximizing dopamine rush while minimizing effort or sacrifice. It’s no secret that people can gain a tolerance to a dopamine rush after a while. However, with current technology and social structures that reduce effort to near nonexistent levels compared to caveman times, people will start chasing it harder and harder while the barrier of effort that would make you stop chasing it remains irrelevant. The closest thing in concept is heroin addiction. Therefore, hedonism in this current age is not natural. Hedonism at all is unnatural, as the reward system’s purpose was giving incentive for you to go through the efforts required, not skipping them altogether. For porn, now the brain thinks you’re an absolute madman, skilled so much that you can have any woman seconds after getting the desire, even though that’s not the case.
	Sex work is basically a venue for this reward system to be skipped entirely. Just save up a few bucks and you already have the dopamine rush without effort whatsoever. You’ll find that most degenerate societies have a massive amount of sex-related work, most iconic being the Weimar Republic–though this is also affected by a desperate shortage of work that makes people sell their bodies, so the issue is even worse because you have people willingly skipping the reward system and others reduced to prostitution due to having no work. Does this mean everyone is innocent? No, some people have no self-control and discipline whatsoever even if they are aware of the situation. Hedonism is half-unawareness and half-lack of self control and discipline, because at its core is the unwillingness to face the bad things life throws at you or trying to overcompensate with dopamine rushes. No matter the type of hedonism, you’ll find that a person has gained nothing since step 1 since all he seeks is that temporary rush of happiness. That is, unless the reward system kicks in full force and forces him to become successful to support his hedonism. Bottom line, hedonism has a great amount of arguments against it, and the only argument in favor is just wanting to feel good. You’ll notice how any person in favor of hedonism will take any argument against him as a personal attack subconsciously. That’s because hedonism is an inherently individualistic idea. He doesn’t care about anything but his own happiness and you have become an obstacle to that. By defending others, he is primarily defending himself. If he wasn’t a hedonist, he wouldn’t be defending the others.

	Degeneracy is primal desires that are acted out before the consultation of higher secondary brain functions that safeguard against those primal desires. Sex, food, and frivolity–among other primal desires–can be good things, but in the brain there exists a mechanism that puts a sort of safeguard on those priorities. For example, we have love over sex, culinary arts over food, and art express needs for pain and pleasure. We have an innate way of moderation, and we would only ever lose this if are put in a very stressful environment–maybe with people unlike ourselves, or maybe we are deprived of certain necessities. Homogeneity is the foundation of society, and without it people became degenerate.

	People who are either abstinent or in monogamous relationships are more stable and successful, and this is why. Historically speaking, civilizations lasted as long as they did because of virtue, piety, and purity. Civilizations fell because of moral degradation. The greatest sages–ones with the utmost wisdom and divine guidance–did not value promiscuity or gluttony by any means because it was a bottomless pit into unhappiness. One becomes unhappy with endless sex because it will never fulfill their propensity for companionship. I’m well aware that companionship often doesn’t suffice many people’s sexual desires, but that is largely because they don’t see the bigger picture.
	We want more sex because we’re addicted to dopamine, vivification of monotony, and–most importantly–promiscuity serves as a transient bandage of comfort. Men and women often seek sex to compensate for the loneliness and confusion about their lives. But chasing tail is akin to doing drugs; it’s a temporary fixation for something much greater–that being your inability to absolve your woes or neurosis due to ignorance of yourself. When you overcome your mental ills and study life and nature, you will see that promiscuity and all other vices are pernicious and that the virtues of man are absolute and imperative for survival.
