But since I'm a classic liberal and not an Xtian, I would be defending LOTR from actually liberal and progressive (but non-Woke, don't you worry!) viewpoints.</p><p>So, the Woke attack Tolkien and his books for being racist obviously (all-white characters, evil Orcs modelled from Eastern nomadic tribes, etc.), sexism (not enough female characters), homophobia (no gay characters) and Christian preaching (Sauron Satan, etc.) </p><p>I will defend Tolkien on each of those points. As for homophobia and sexism, I believe those accusations are totally unfounded and Tolkien was quite progressive with both of those regards, in the contrary. As for Christian propaganda and racism, there's a grain of truth sadly but it's not even nearly as bad as the Woke claim it is.

Yeah, there are very few female characters but those who are there are pretty strong ones though. </p><p>Take Galadriel, the Lady of Lorien, one of the most powerful and strong characters in the whole book, who can see the future and whose gifts largely saved Frodo and Sam and helped them to fulfill their perilous task. </p><p>Notice also that Galadriel is married to Celeborn yet it's she who holds ALL the power, not him. He's quite passive character and also his judgment is pretty hasty, Galadriel is much wiser than her husband and million times stronger.</p><p>So, Tolkien created a powerful majestic Elven Queen who plays a large role in the plot before the second wave of feminism even and fifty years before strong female characters became a fashion, and the Woke accuse him of sexism? For real?..</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/defense-of-tolkien-and-lotr-from?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Take the warrior Lady Eowyn, a female soldier who went to war and killed the Witch-King, the Lord of the Nazgul, the second most powerful enemy in the book after Sauron. Kinda not that bad for a &#8216;sexist author&#8217;? Lady Eowyn is much stronger than most of modern feminist &#8216;leads&#8217; who feel fake and insincere while she's genuine and strong.</p><p>But it's not enough that Lady Eowyn killed the Lord of the Nazgul, she dared to reveal her love for Aragorn FIRST which required a different kind of courage altogether and which was an unthinkable thing to do for a woman back in 1954. Yet Lady Eowyn had done it and was rejected but it didn't break her indomitable spirit. That was quite progressive I believe.</p><p>Critics would argue that Lady Eowyn was rather an exception than the rule, that she went to war out of desperation because Aragorn rejected her, that she was able to kill the Witch-King only because of the prophecy, etc. </p><p>But it's not quite true. Lady Eowyn was a strong warrior who was fed up with living in a cage of a court long before she met Aragorn. And if her spirit was really broken by Aragorn's rejection she wouldn't have been able to stand up to the dreadful Lord of the Nazgul on her own and even less so to strike him. So she had a spirit. </p><p>And she wasn't an exception. Together with Lady Galadriel they made two strong female characters out of three main ones. Only Lady Arwen, Aragorn&#8217;s Elven bride and Galadriel&#8217;s daughter, represents the traditional patriarchal ideal of a passive woman, the shadow of her strong powerful husband. But it turns out it's Lady Arwen who's an exception in the LOTR, not the Lady Eowyn.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share The Great Resist&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share The Great Resist</span></a></p><p>And even secondary female characters like hobbit Lobelia turned out quite strong in the end when being pretty old she yet stood up to evil wizard Saruman during the Scouring of Shire. That was quite a spirit! So, passive Lady Arwen is quite outnumbered in the end.</p><p>But why were there so few female characters then, the Woke would still press? Well, maybe because it was a book about war, and war still is mostly male thing even in our progressive society? And maybe it was somewhat easier for Tolkien as a for male to write male characters still? Doesn't mean he was sexist, sigh.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/defense-of-tolkien-and-lotr-from/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/alexilex.substack.com/p/defense-of-tolkien-and-lotr-from/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p></p><p>2) No Homophobia in LOTR!</p><p>Woke homophobia accusations are even more ridiculous than sexism ones in case of LOTR. You know, there were no openly gay characters in LOTR because back at that time one could have been imprisoned in UK both for being gay or for writing about gays. So not wanting to be imprisoned doesn't really make one homophobic, sigh.</p><p>But if we look at the deep male bonds in LOTR (Frodo and Sam mostly, Gimli and Legolas to lesser extent), I think they're as close to gay love as it could get. Those bonds are much deeper than any 'friendship' no matter what religious homophobes would say.</p><p>Yeah those bonds aren't openly gay either but they were modeled after real relationships between WWI soldiers as Tolkien himself admitted, and those relationships were quite often gay as we know now from soldiers' letters to each other from both World Wars (and Tolkien lived through both!)</p><p>So could it be Tolkien had seen some of his friends in the war falling in love with each other and decided to immortalise them in his book? Or could it be he himself had some love feeling to other soldier during the war? Yeah I know Tolkien was Catholic and had a wife whom he loved but bisexual people do exist and basic human decency and empathy trumps religious cultist ideology. But we'd never know answer to that question I guess.</p><p>Either way, no one before Tolkien depicted such close male bonds in fiction, not even Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson were that close as Frodo and Sam. And the sheer level of male intimacy in LOTR was surely quite progressive and might have paved way for future gay rights movement, who knows?</p><p></p><p>3) Not Quite a Christian Preaching </p><p>After discussing gay themes in LOTR it's quite logical to move to religious themes. Yeah, Tolkien was a convinced Catholic and Christian influence in LOTR could be felt. To be honest, I don't like some parts of it myself - the Dark Lord Sauron being too obviously Satan even in name (Sauron-Satan), and overall religious strong dualism dividing everything into 'evil' and 'good' - even animals (like wolves and spiders are 'evil creatures' of 'the Enemy'!) albeit animals are neutral, they're never evil. </p><p>However, that's not a whole story. First of all, Tolkien still doesn't preach so obviously as C.S. Lewis in his Narnia whose Aslan is obvious Jesus and the whole Narnia book cycle is just a thinly veiled Biblical allegory. Tolkien still had written an independent fantasy fiction book, not an allegorical version of The Bible, even if some Biblical themes are there.</p><p>But there are not only Biblical themes and Christian values in LOTR though, there's quite a lot of European old pagan stuff as well. That is, Elves are modelled upon Celtic Sidhe, and there are Dwarves from Norse mythology too. Aragorn and Gandalf are King Arthur and Merlin obviously, and Gandalf was also modelled on Norse god Odin under Tolkien's own admission. Rings of Power are modelled on Nibelung ring. There are much more pagan influences in LOTR than Christian ones if we think of it, and Tolkien was again the first to mainstream them just like he was the first to mainstream male intimacy.</p><p>As for Christian values...well, if loving freedom and peace and hating wars and tyranny are 'Christian values' then we ALL are Christians, even me iconoclast though I am. But it's exactly those themes were main themes in Tolkien's book, not obedience to Jewish 'God'. Tolkien understood the corrupting nature of power pretty well and he warned against it,  using the One Ring as an analogy of an absolute power, and pretty clever analogy. Tolkien also loved freedom and peace and hated tyranny and wars. Such a 'Christian propaganda'!</p><p>I also loved that Tolkien's characters achieved victory over the Dark Lord not through wars and power (because the Dark Lord was STILL more powerful than them even after two his major defeats on the battlefield!) but through denying the power and deciding to destroy the One Ring instead of using it. That was a very beautiful and wise solution which I still love.</p><p></p><p>4) Racism in LOTR </p><p>Yeah on one point only the Woke are partially correct - there's indeed elements of racism in LOTR. That is, evil breed of Orcs was indeed modelled on Eastern nomadic tribes, and also it's Southern and Eastern men who came to aid of Mordor while the white Western people resisted it.</p><p>However, there are two nuances even to that. First of all, Eastern nomadic tribes like Hunns or Mongols were a universal threat to EVERY empire and agricultural civilization, not just to Western ones.Thus, while Hunns destroyed Roman Empire, Mongols destroyed Ancient Russia and conquered Ancient China and Arab Caliphate, the Eastern empires. So both for Russia, China and Arabs Mongols were also a threat and an enemy. Are Chinese, Arabs and Russians racist too according to the Woke? Sigh. Nope, Eastern nomadic tribe were just a universal archetype of the enemy in collective psyche of many civilizations. The Woke should better learn history than throw mindless accusations of 'racism' at everyone.</p><p>And as for all the danger coming from the East and South in Tolkien's books? Well, remember that Tolkien was a Brit and Britain is located in the very North-West of Europe. Even Germany and France are to the South and East of Britain. The Woke again should learn some geography too in addition to history, sigh.</p><p>All this being said, there's one point I didn't like about the Orcs too, mind you. I disliked the very idea of the WHOLE race (Orcs) being beyond redemption, which is cruel and racist IN GENERAL, not to any particular race. Because I don't think EVERY Orc is evil by default and beyond redemption.</p><p>Yeah I'm aware Orcs were Elves corrupted by The Enemy (Morgoth the Great Enemy who was before Sauron) so their very genes were evil. But genes isn't everything, there's also experience. People are able to transcend their genes and become better persons still, and so should Orcs. Yet Tolkien somehow doesn't leave them this opportunity.</p><p>Yeah, maybe the evil will of the Dark Lord prevented any possible personal development of the Orcs. But after Sauron was destroyed, some Orcs should have been given a chance for rehabilitation I believe. Yet Tolkien made Western armies to slaughter ALL the Orcs already after Sauron's defeat and I didn't quite like that. That was very cruel and not wise and directly contradicted his main thought of defeating evil not by force and power but by their very rejection. And yet genocide of all Orcs as a final solution? You could have done better here, Professor. That's way too Zionist solution is unworthy of you.</p><p></p><p>5) Environmentalism in Tolkien's LOTR!</p><p>Additionally I loved the environmental theme in Tolkien's books. Tolkien was one of the first environmentalist perhaps. He hated industrialization and destruction of nature and countryside which he personified in evil wizard Saruman, and he loved both peaceful British countryside and forests and nature. His love for forests shines through all his fiction and come on Tolkien even created walking trees - the Ents! - who ultimately defeated evil Saruman who was felling trees en masse. Karma. I loved it</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

In that way you could even master some sympathy or at least pity for Lindsey Graham and yet not twist the truth.</p><p>And there&#8217;s much to be pitied about Lindsey Graham indeed. For a starter, he was a closeted religious gay who denied his sexuality and natural biology because of his evil religious ideology for his entire life. He died not at peace with himself and his spirit. Think about it. He died denying his true self and his spirit. It's a great tragedy indeed.</p><p>Not only Lindsey Graham denied himself and renounced all his chances for love and happiness as such, he also fought against gay rights - thus, to deny other gay people their chances for love and happiness.

He had literally voted for EVERY American war and cheered EVERY war. That was beyond evil.</p><p>I argue that this second part - Lindsey the Warmonger - is a consequence of the first part - Lindsey the Closeted Gay. By denying his biological sexuality and nature he had essentially denied his only chance for love and happiness. Deprived of love, he turned into an angry and bitter man and he projected this anger and frustration onto others, punishing other innocent people with wars for his own self-denial. Now Lindsey Graham&#8217;s truly psychopathic warmongering is explained, is it not? </p><p class="button-wrapper"

I didn&#8217;t start to love the Woke now mind you - I remember well their abominable and sometimes downright fascist behavior with COVID, climate, BLM, trans, Ukraine, etc., and they hadn&#8217;t acknowledged ANY of their mistakes and hadn&#8217;t owned ANY of their shit either so fuck the Woke still too.</p><p>However, conservatives are behaving just as bad now if not worse because they should have known better.

Again, you can&#8217;t make this shit up. MAGA hideous hypocrisy is lost on them though.</p><p>People who for four years demanded release of Epstein Files now claim that Epstein Files are a &#8216;Democratic hoax&#8217; and defend elite pedos. You can&#8217;t make this up too.</p><p>People who for four years claimed to fight for freedom of speech and against cancel culture now push their own Zionist and homophobic cancel culture. So, they don&#8217;t mind cancel culture and censorship then. They just wanted to be the ones who does the canceling and censoring. How very disgusting.</p><p>People who for four years chanted America First now are happy with Israel First.</p><p>People who claimed to want &#8216;less government&#8217; cheered for ICE overreach and murders of unarmed and disarmed American citizens for civil disobedience.</p><p>People who condemned the murder of Ashley Babbitt cheered murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.</p><p>People who claimed to mistrust government and media official narratives all of a sudden swallowed fully both Trump and Charlie Kirk&#8217;s official FBI and media assassination narratives and attack those who didn&#8217;t as &#8216;conspiracy theorists&#8217; (the very slur the Left used on them back in 2020-2024!).You can&#8217;t make it up, again.</p><p>People who wanted a strong economy now cheer for energy crisis and inflation.</p><p>This list could go on and on forever but enough is highlighted. Again, conservative hypocrisy is just monstrous and the double standard is their ONLY standard. They&#8217;re even worse hypocrites than Woketards.</p><p>Conservatives are worse cultists than Woketards as well. I&#8217;m SICK to the bone of both their homophobic sexist and pedophiliac Xtian cult and their genocidal warmongering Zionist cult.</p><p>I&#8217;m SICK of conservative pathological defense of morbidly wealthy billionaires just like I was of equally pathological Woke defense of morbidly obese. Not to mention that conservatives completely ignore the tremendous political power billions give people that no single individual should possess.</p><p>I&#8217;m sick of conservative cowardice love for &#8216;law and order&#8217; and pathological aversion for any street protests and grassroot action. Without both of them we can&#8217;t hope to overthrow genocidal Epstein class and get the power back to us people you dotards. As for conservative equally pathological unwillingness to &#8216;interfere with law enforcement&#8217;, there would have been NO America if your ancestors didn&#8217;t interfere with British law enforcement you brainless retards, and you would have still lived in a British colony.</p><p>And even those VERY few issues I still agree with conservatives they don&#8217;t act upon. For example I still agree with them on guns and gun rights. But WHAT&#8217;S THE FUCKING POINT of those conservative pussies having guns if they refuse to use them against corrupt government and genocidal Epstein class because they love &#8216;law and order&#8217; and &#8216;don&#8217;t interfere with law enforcement&#8217;? The point of you having guns to protect you against tyranny then when you won&#8217;t use them anyway?

Back in 2020, globalists really tried to push all their shit via the Left - massive illegal immigration in the name of &#8216;tolerance&#8217;, COVID and climate scams in the name of &#8216;science&#8217;, and Woke and trans mind viruses. Naturally, the Right assumed opposition to all this shit&#8230;and subtly hijacked all the resistance replacing a genuine fight against evil globalist agenda with Trumpism and religious cult (basically Abrahamic mind virus instead of a Woke one). As a result of it, <strong>genuine resistance is dead and fake conservative opposition is turned into cheerleaders of new forever war which is no more than a new globalist psy op</strong>.

That is, Iranian regime is truly evil, ghoulish and genocidal - it killed around 30 thousands of its own people protesting the regime, it genocided gay men and oppressed women for 47 years while allowing pedophilia as a &#8216;child marriage&#8217; and even paying for sex change surgeries out of tax money (because yeah, transgenderism was somehow more acceptable for the Ayatollahs than homosexuality, it&#8217;s actually a fact). So how come you&#8217;re defending such a monstrous regime?</p><p>Spoiler alert - I do not. I know some anti-war people who actually does - mostly brainless Islamophiliac Leftists but some independents and young conservatives too - but I&#8217;m <em>not</em> one of them. I know well that Iranian regime is indefensible from any viewpoint and that in general Iranian people would be better off if this regime is gone. Then what is it my problem with this war?</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Indeed, Trump himself stated that to prevent Iran from ever getting nukes and to destroy all its defensive system altogether is his main objective, not liberation of Iranians.</p><p>But alright, Alex, some people would object - does it really matter if Iranian people and the whole Middle East would be better off without Ayatollahs anyway? But the point is I&#8217;m not sure at all that Iran and the Middle East by extension would be better off after American-Israeli invasion. You know, history shows us the exact opposite - every Middle Eastern country (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria) became <em>worse off</em> after American military invasion, <em>not better off</em>! And it&#8217;s hard to argue with history, you know. So, if literally <em>every</em> Middle Eastern country became worse off after American invasion, what makes you think Iran would be different?</p><p>Moreover, I&#8217;m not even sure Ayatollah regime would be gone! US and Israel might just destroy Iranian defense system, launder enough money there, stir mass Muslim immigration from Iran into Europe yet again (just like they did before with Iraq and Syria and Libya!) and then just exit the country, leaving Ayatollah&#8217;s heir intact. After all why should US and Israel even bother with Iranian regime once they accomplished all their goals? And I&#8217;m not sure regime change is one of them because you know, to keep Ayatollahs as a convenient boogieman for the future Zionist wars might be well too tempting for Orange and Bibi.</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/iranian-liberation-narrative-is-so?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

But some info dump on Heated Rivalry first for you.</p><p>For those of you who are in the bunker Heated Rivalry is a gay sport drama about two ice hockey players - Russian closeted bisexual guy Ilya Rozanov and Canadian gay guy Shane Hollander played by actors Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams respectively. This gay TV show became an international hit and is streaming even in homophobic countries like Russia (where it became a major hit due to Ilya being a Russian, and Russians download and watch it risking fines and even arrests for bypassing Putin&#8217;s homophobic legislation). As a gay Russian I obviously love the show too. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Usually those are reserved for a gay minority audience or at least get a domestic success but never an international acclaim. <strong>Heated Rivalry is perhaps the first gay TV show to get an international acclaim since Brokeback Mountain.</strong></p><p>This show also has a positive impact on gay rights worldwide. Gay ice hockey players and athletes in general are coming out en masse now inspired by Ilya and Shane from the show. Russians found the strength to fight Putin&#8217;s regime homophobia inspired by Ilya Rozanov, a bisexual Russian ice hockey player from the show.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

Judge for yourselves.</p><p>Woketards accused Heated Rivalry of <strong>racism</strong> because there are &#8216;not enough Black ice hockey players&#8217; (although it&#8217;s Canada, not Africa, and there shouldn&#8217;t be many Black ice hockey players, ice hockey isn&#8217;t a Black people sport overall) and because main characters are &#8216;two white dudes&#8217; (albeit Hudson Williams who played Shane is Korean, but Asians had apparently fallen from Woke grace same as gays); of <strong>sexism</strong> because there are no main female characters (despite it&#8217;s a GAY MALE romance so how would you create a MAIN female character here, by adding a woman as a &#8216;third party&#8217; into their relationship? I have no doubt &#8216;polyamorous&#8217; Woketards would love that though!) and ofc of <strong>&#8216;transphobia&#8217;</strong> (because there are no trannies and pronouns) and <strong>&#8216;fatphobia&#8217;</strong> (because two main characters are hot fit young dudes and not ugly obese old farts) and so on. I just can&#8217;t.</p><p>Here&#8217;s an example from Woke rant against Heated Rivalry from <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/1pn9mop/heated_rivalry_do_better/">Reddit</a>. </p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/woke-hate-of-gay-tv-show-heated-rivalry?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

You can&#8217;t hate these retards enough.</p><p>Another issue which beats me is that it never comes into Woke dumb heads that it&#8217;s just impossible to include ALL minorities in just ONE show, and that maybe it&#8217;s better to focus on just ONE minority group in one show (like gays in Heated Rivalry) for a better representation rather than dilute attention between 100+ &#8216;vulnerable minorities&#8217; thus not really representing anyone.</p><p>But ofc it&#8217;s not the case, ofc the ONLY reason not to &#8216;include&#8217; 100+ minorities and genders in one show is HATE, how else.

It&#8217;s not just sick pedophiliac abuse of helpless kids but <strong>downright evil satanic rituals like drinking babies blood, sacrificing gay men</strong> (yeah, <em>those satanists don&#8217;t consider a gay sex to be fully sex so gays are deemed virgins or &#8216;adult kids&#8217; in a way - in other words, perfect sacrifice material just like kids</em>, so sick religious homophobes who told us that gays are behind all this shit were lying as usual - <em>gays are victims here just as always, not perpetrators</em>!) and all kinds of other wild and monstrous shit I don&#8217;t want spending more to time to describe even. </p><p>So, basically, everything that QAnon &#8216;conspiracy theorists&#8217; told us came eerily true - <strong>we&#8217;re indeed ruled by pedo satanic elite</strong>. Yet how brutally QAnon were mocked for speaking this dark truth out loud before the evidence in support of their claims finally came out! Partially I understand those who mocked QAnon though - because indeed Epstein revelations are so grotesque, so evil and monstrous that it&#8217;s hard to believe this shit was happening in real life <em>even now</em> when we have all the evidence so it&#8217;s no wonder most &#8216;normies&#8217; ignorant of actual politics didn&#8217;t believe it when there was no direct evidence. Still, they might have at least listened and tried to understand what QAnon claims were based upon rather than dismissing and mocking them straight away. But oh well, people never listen until it&#8217;s too late. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Yet where&#8217;s an accountability, again? <strong>Where&#8217;s any single arrest or even an investigation</strong>? Again, just like with COVID crimes, there&#8217;s none. <strong>We got one more exposure but no accountability followed as it should have</strong>. Then the point of this exposure may I ask? </p><p>But Bill and Hillary Clinton same as Bill and Melinda Gates agreed to testify before Congress on Epstein case, some people would argue. Heh, do you really believe <em>anything would come out of it</em>? Fauci testified to Congress about COVID and gain-on&#8212;function research in Wuhan lab too, <em>lied</em> to Congress and still got away with it. Why do you think it will be different this time with Clinton and Gates criminal couples? </p><p>And anyway, how do you expect Congress to prosecute these pedos when entire Congress in either bought or blackmailed by these pedos? Do you expect Congress to investigate and prosecute themselves, or what? Again, when entire system is corrupt and bought or blackmailed by rich nefarious players at the service of foreign power - Israel - how do you expect our justice system to work? </p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/epstein-files-and-limitations-of?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Where is any criminal investigation into British Royal Family, or at least their Prince Andrew against whom there is a massive evidence? Yeah they stripped Prince Andrew from all the royal titles but still, there&#8217;s no criminal investigation against him. And what&#8217;s about other British Royals all of whom are also implicated as Epstein emails show? </p><p>What&#8217;s about Vatican pedo cover ups? <strong>What&#8217;s about Donald Trump himself who was mentioned in Epstein emails 38000 times</strong>? (and still his cultists deny he was a pedo though it&#8217;s a topic for an entirely another conservation) For now my point is that there&#8217;s no any criminal investigation into main Epstein criminals (and even Gates and Clintons are <strong>just invited to testify</strong> before Congress, not really investigated or even subpoeanaed!) and <strong>none will be</strong>. </p><p><strong>Again, you can&#8217;t expect criminals and their accomplices to prosecute themselves, and yeah all of our government, Congress and judges are either Epstein clients themselves or are bought and blackmailed by them.</strong> Hence, you can&#8217;t really expect our justice system to work as it should in this case, and if you still do, you&#8217;re more naive than a baby. </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share The Great Resist&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share The Great Resist</span></a></p><p>But if our justice system won&#8217;t help us how would we achieve justice then? Well, you won&#8217;t like either of solutions. First one is we take justice in our own hands and someone would go Luigi on top Epstein clients like Gates, Trump, Obama, Clinton and Prince Andrew. I won&#8217;t recommend this solution though because I&#8217;m not a fan of political assassinations (albeit it could be called justice in this case but still!) and also because taking down few of the top criminals still won&#8217;t change the rotten system which is teemed with them albeit might scare pedos enough to make them slow down in their reckless crimes. Though I&#8217;m afraid if no justice would follow after latest Epstein release (and very likely none will!) then eventually at least some real assassination attempt on one of the top Epstein clients is bound to happen, and pedos in power will use it as an excuse for another crackdown on our basic rights and freedoms.</p><p>To prevent this from happening and to achieve an actual justice, I propose <strong>the only working solution - revolution</strong>. Indeed, if all system is completely broken and rotten to the bone, overthrowing of this system is the only way which is left for us. When government is illegitimate (and I think no one has any doubt that criminal Satanic pedophiliac treasonous government at the service of a foreign power is illegitimate!), civil disobedience becomes a duty. Only when you overthrow the corrupt system which keeps pedos and Satanists in power, you could achieve at least some justice and hold pedos accountable for their countless crimes against humanity. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

should expect taking down the monstrous Satanic government which isn&#8217;t averse to killing us will go smoothly and &#8216;peacefully&#8217;. However, the Left have another problem - most of them are <strong>still sheep in a deep sleep </strong>who didn&#8217;t wake up to even half of the shit which is going on. The Left - and I mean blue voters, not corrupt DemoNratic politicians - still didn&#8217;t acknowledge that COVID, climate and Ukraine were major scams, same as BLM riots and trans medical fraud. Hence, the Left still don&#8217;t realize how bad things really are. They still believe it&#8217;s just about Trump and &#8216;his fascists&#8217;. Well, maybe Epstein Files (taking into account Trump was mentioned there 38000 times!) and Israeli role in this shit (and the Left have a long tradition of condemning Israel and supporting Palestine) had woken the Left sheep up at least to something, but it&#8217;s not even nearly enough at this point. </p><p>So, this far the Left are capable of rallying only for paid and staged protests with manufactured causes like in Minneapolis. They still don&#8217;t protest the <em>real thing</em> - <strong>pedo treasonous fraudulent government as such, without any partisan flavors to it</strong>. And even if we assume that the Left would wake up a bit more after Epstein revelations and then would go for <em>real protests</em>, <strong>what could they really do</strong>? I mean, most of them are just harmless kids. They don&#8217;t even have guns because they had allowed the government to disarm them out of their blind trust to Leftist propaganda (and indeed, most guns are owned by MAGA, not the Left). So, <strong>what a bunch of unarmed kids could really do against ruthless criminal government with hundreds of thousands of  cops and other &#8216;law enforcers&#8217; who don&#8217;t hesitate to kill American citizens</strong>?

Most awakened critical thinkers this far are still on MAGA side, same as most people with guns. But MAGA are 100% government simps cheering &#8216;law and order&#8217; and urging us &#8216;not to impede with law enforcement&#8217;. <em>So, MAGA actually could be resistance but they wouldn&#8217;t.</em> The Left, in the contrary, are always eager to protest the government, but they&#8217;re clueless on what to protest really and even if they weren&#8217;t, they don&#8217;t even have guns to defend themselves against the government they&#8217;re going to protest. So, <em>the Left would be resistance but alas they couldn&#8217;t</em>. Checkmate, champs. </p><p>Our Satanic pedo elite had already won because no one&#8217;s really gonna protest it.

Is it your paradise?</p><p>Secondly, <strong>government has much more power than average citizens, and with a greater power comes greater responsibility, not other way around. </strong>And cops and federal agents are part of the government.

Ironically, contrary to homophobic defamation that gay sex is &#8216;unnatural&#8217; (albeit almost any animal species engages into it in nature!), gay guys indeed in many ways act more natural than straight guys because they are not bound by social conventions and sexist stereotypes! </p><p>Indeed, straight guys are bound by 1000+ social conventions on masculinity and sexual behavior which stifle their nature, their sexuality and their emotion more than completely. Straight guys suppress their emotion in order to look &#8216;tough'. They try so hard to be &#8216;real men' that destroy their natural masculinity in the process. </p><p>Gay guys, in the contrary, being already &#8216;social outcasts&#8217;, don't give a damn of what people think and just act naturally! Gay men are the most genuine and authentic men out there, and that's the grand truth homophobes hate to acknowledge. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

They could openly cry and laugh, be either drama queens or &#8216;fabulous fairies&#8217;. They could be much more sensual, tender and gentle than straight men as well. </p><p>But that does not make them weak and feminine! In the contrary, gay men are much more confident of themselves and their masculinity because they accepted their nature instead of suppressing it. They're also much more resilient because they found an inner support rather than relying on external one, seeking societal approval like straight men. And most importantly, gay guys defy hierarchy because it contradicts their freedom more than completely while straight men thrive in hierarchical groups thus suppressing both their nature and masculinity even further. </p><p>Another problem with straight guys is that most of them are ashamed of their sexual desires because conservative society always tells them how bad sex is, and are unable to see their own sex appeal being too obsessed with female sex appeal. </p><p>Gay guys have none of those problems. Again, they're already judged for their mere nature, so they don't care anymore and can openly tell a guy they like of their sex desires without being ashamed of them. </p><p>Being men attracted to other men, gay guys do realize male sex appeal pretty well unlike their straight counterparts obsessed with female appearance and sex appeal, and totally oblivious to their own. </p><p>Hence, as you could see, straight guys could indeed learn a lot from gay guys with many different regards. How to see their own sex appeal and hence be more popular among women. How not to be ashamed of their sex desires. How not to suppress their nature, their emotion and their sexuality for the sake of society, and most importantly how not to kill their own natural masculinity trying to be conventionally masculine. </p><p>And yeah this true freedom and acceptance of one's nature goes beyond masculinity and sexuality. It could help you with countless other things too - being more outspoken in politics, stop allowing other people to pressure you into things you don't like, choose the hobbies you really like (gardening or dancing maybe?) rather than socially &#8216;acceptable&#8217; ones, and be your authentic selves rather than a social construction. </p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm Done with Culture Wars]]></title><description><![CDATA[I'm Refraining from Political Commentary on New Culture Wars]]></description><link>https://alexilex.substack.com/p/im-done-with-culture-wars</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://alexilex.substack.com/p/im-done-with-culture-wars</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex Ilex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 14 Jan 2026 15:57:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UdVb!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F587b9af2-8d72-441a-b53b-e309248564d2_555x555.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I'm Refraining from Political Commentary on New Culture Wars </p><p>My subscribers and followers hopefully noticed I haven't posted anything on my stack for almost a week. Well, initially I had Internet connection problems again but later I thought maybe it's actually a fate, a sign from the Universe, and I should heed it and restrain from posting there for a while, and so I did even after my Internet connection was restored. </p><p>Why had I done so? Well, due to insane amount of new psy ops and culture wars I didn't feel safe commenting on what's going on without being dragged into more heated arguments and losing my followers and subscribers due to new culture wars. I had already lost over 100 subscribers (!!) after I loudly condemned Trump's Venezuela gambit and new conservative homophobic cancel culture over Stranger Things. Since then, much more new psy ops and manufactured divisions had appeared. Minnesota ICE shooting. Iranian mass protests. Trump's threats to Cuba and Greenland. And more shit is coming, have no doubt of it. </p><p>Again, it's not that I suddenly became scared of losing subscribers or started to care about public opinion overall. Nope, truth, justice and my principles are still paramount for me. It's just I don't want to get dragged into heated arguments and lose my mind to emotion. Also, I refuse to be manipulated by our corrupt criminal elite and to mindleslly and emotionally react to their every new psy op like an oyster. But I'm not an oyster, I'm a rational human being, and as such I refuse to participate in these manufactured psy ops. </p><p>What astonished me is that most people hadn't learned shit from BLM and trans psy ops and keep swallowing the bait anew, and on BOTH &#8216;sides'. People never learn, and keep stumbling upon the same rake over and over again. </p><p>Take Minnesota - most conservatives swallow obvious Trump lies about dead woman trying to run over ICE agent unsupported by videos from the spot and call her a &#8216;domestic terrorist&#8217; which is a pure defamation. But the Left are no better and try to turn this case into BLM 2.0 (ironically also starting from Minnesota!) using this tragedy to stir chaos and more violence. </p><p>Take Iranian protests. Conservative neocons are eager to invade one more foreign nation and perpetrate yet one more regime change, fresh from Venezuela one. But the &#8216;anti-war&#8217; Left are no better, cheering for a murderous, genocidal, obviously evil and actually inexcusable Iranian Ayatollah regime out of their spite for Trump and US imperialism. The fact that it's perfectly possible to condemn BOTH American imperialism and Iranian murderous Islamist regime doesn't come into their not so bright heads it seems. </p><p>What astonishes me the most is that most people aren't even interested in truth or justice and they form strong opinions already BEFORE knowing facts! Thus, Trumpists already made their minds that the killed woman was a &#8216;domestic terrorist' while Leftists - that ICE agent was a &#8216;fascist murderer&#8217;. No one even cares of actual investigation to determine the truth of what's really happened. Everyone pretends to know it already albeit from videos we've seen it's not actually clear. And that scares me - how could you not care of truth indeed? </p><p>It's no better with Iran - no one seemed to care of Iranian people actually. The Left want to support genocidal Iranian Ayatollah regime just to spite an &#8216;American Empire&#8217; no matter how many more Iranians would it kill. The Right are ready for a new invasion not thinking of its potential complications as well. </p><p>Again, people had completely lost their minds, on both sides. It seems to be even worse than back in 2020 when it was mostly the Left who had lost their minds. Now, it's BOTH sides. What's an actual fuck. </p><p>So, sorry, but I'm not gonna participate in your new collective madness or mass formation psychosis. I'm not gonna offend potentially good people over what they think of Minnesota, Iran, Venezuela, etc. </p><p>And you know, so should do YOU! Stop falling for every new psy op. Stop letting them play you like a fool every time. Stop hating your fellow citizens for different views when the real enemy is in the government and in the &#8216;elite&#8217;. </p><p>And, most of all, stop letting your emotions take control over your actions! Once you surrendered your rational thinking to emotional outrage, you're lost. No matter how justified your emotion even - when you think with your emotions, especially negative ones like fear and outrage, you're bound to make mistakes which would haunt you later. Only rational decisions made when you're calm could be correct ones. Always remember this please before you give in to a new psy op or new &#8216;current thing'. </p><p>P. S. Al this being said doesn't mean that I'd end my stack or stop any political commentary. Nope, I'm done ONLY with culture wars and manufactured divisions. I'd still be posting on the most important stuff - how to oppose evil WEF globalist totalitarian agenda - digital IDs and currencies, AI and &#8216;smart cities', mRNA and new scamdemics and Pharma corruption overall. </p><p>I will keep strongly opposing ALL the wars and military invasions and ANY tyranny, discrimination and cancel culture - Woke or conservative ones, in US, EU, China, Russia or Iran. I will always be committed to peace and freedom and human rights, especially gay and Russian rights as a gay Russian, but to the rights of every human being too. </p><p>So, all those most important things will still be there on my stack. But don't EVER AGAIN ask me to join your insane culture wars and to condemn your fellow citizens for voting for another party. I'm not infected with your partisan tribalist mind virus and I don't treat politics as a football where you just mindlessly cheer for your &#8216;team', or as marriage where you have to keep loyalty no matter what. No thanks. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Left and Right had Changed their Roles]]></title><description><![CDATA[So the Left are Becoming More Adequate while the Right - More Psychopathic.]]></description><link>https://alexilex.substack.com/p/left-and-right-had-changed-their</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://alexilex.substack.com/p/left-and-right-had-changed-their</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex Ilex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 Jan 2026 00:53:06 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TNL_!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F391b4e19-9afc-49b5-ac88-3dac941efbe1_698x960.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the Left are Becoming More Adequate while the Right - More Psychopathic.

Just a year ago it was the Left who were the actual psychopaths painting swastikas on Tesla cars and shaving their heads over Trump's victory, while the Right seemed to be a bulwark of sanity, generous even in their victory. </p><p>But now the roles had changed almost completely. As if someone just switched the Right and Left brains, for real. The Right seemed to forget they stood against cancel culture and are actively canceling gays. Also they entirely forgot they stood for world peace too just a year ago and are gleefully cheering a military interventionism and regime change. </p><p>The Left, in the contrary, exhibit actual sanity and responsibility by condemning imperialism and intreventionalism in a perfectly sane, adequate, logical way instead of their previous psychopathic mode. What's the hell is happening? </p><p>It looks like a weird inversion of 2020 when it was the Left who had collectively lost their minds first over COVID, then - BLM and trans psychosis, while the Right retained their sanity. Now, six years after, it's other way around. </p><p>You know, it almost seems like our evil elite deliberately targets only one 'side' with their psy ops to drive them crazy while the other side retains their sanity and loudly condemns other side's psychosis. Back in 2020 the Right remained sane and condemned Leftist psychosis. Now in 2026 it's other way around. </p><p>But why are our elites doing it in that way, driving only half of us mad while allowing the other half to remain sane and to oppose the insanity? I guess it's because the elites needed to keep our partisan divide so we'd be at each other's throats constantly rather than paying attention to them. And the best way to divide us is to drive one side completely nuts so the other side would be like &#8216;what's the actual fuck?&#8217;</p><p>Also had you noticed that the elites always drive mad the winning side? Back in 2020 the Left were at apex of their power and in the end of it won (or stolen) the election, so the Left were driven mad. Now it's an apex of power of the Right, and they were chosen for the new maddening psy op. </p><p>I guess it makes sense because obviously the winners who have all the power would be able to do much more damage when turned mad as opposed to losers, so it makes sense to drive the winners mad. And the losers even if their retained sanity couldn't do much to stop the winners' insanity anyway. Thus, the Right were helpless back in 2020-2022, and the Left are helpless now. </p><p>But which diabolic mind games our sick elites play on us though! It's really eerie to watch previously sane people collectively losing their minds while previous psychos talk sense again. Oh times we're living in! </p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Political Predictions for 2026]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Short, the Winter is Coming (and I didn't Mean the Weather)]]></description><link>https://alexilex.substack.com/p/my-political-predictions-for-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://alexilex.substack.com/p/my-political-predictions-for-2026</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex Ilex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 16:09:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UdVb!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F587b9af2-8d72-441a-b53b-e309248564d2_555x555.png" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, since everyone is making predictions for the New Year now, I have to spend my sixpence too.

Indeed, recent Ukrainian attack on Putin&#8217;s residence (whether real or faked by Putin to sabotage a peace deal since there was no factual evidence of the attack) indirectly proves my point. </p><p>But if you think of it, why would American government even want peace in Ukraine when American Military Industry is making billions of dollars here, weakening both Russia and Europe at the same time? Obviously it&#8217;s just an empty posturing and a shit show for us peasants who are tired of foreign wars and our tax money being sent abroad in billions. So our government just pretends to try to make peace to pacify us. And when this peacemaking would fail allegedly due to Russia/Ukraine/Europe sabotaging it, our government will just tell us that they &#8216;did all they could but it&#8217;s apparently impossible to make peace due to other parties wanting war&#8217;. </p><p>Ofc we understand that if America really wanted peace, it could have executed its leverages both on Russia and Europe to make them more agreeable, and Ukraine is already 100% American puppet. But alas, US just don&#8217;t want peace and are just pretending to want it. </p><p>Now even if I by some magic I&#8217;m wrong here and Trump really wants prace, it could be due to only one reason - to start a new war! That was an &#8216;American way&#8217; since WWII - first government lied to us these wars were required to contain &#8216;evil USSR&#8217; but when the latter collapsed and US kept invading other countries, it became clear that it was America who were the problem and not Russia. </p><p>So now they will stay true to their blueprint and if they will end one war it would be only to start another one. Where? I don&#8217;t know yet - maybe with China overTaiwan or with Iran over Israel or with Venezuela or maybe with Russia again but in different place like Finland which is eager to fight Russia by the way and maybe get some chunks of Russian land too (abs the latter case would be the worst one since it would mean an official war between NATO and Russia). Either way, it will be a new war. </p><p>By the way, in the worst case they might start a new war without ending this one, like they did in 2023 with Gaza by the way.</p><p>2) Same-Sex Marriage might Fall</p><p>Homophobic mass formation psychosis over Netflix Stranger Things episode creates a fertile ground for Christian conservatives to try to overthrow same-sex marriage. They had already tried last autumn and miserably failed but on the background of this attitude change they might try again, and already in the first part of the year before the midterms (where Republicans will be likely demolished - see next prediction!) </p><p>Obviously if they&#8217;d succeeded it would be a dark day for America - not just for gays but for all Americans because their basic human rights and freedoms would be again violated by cultist tyrants, and America would be sent back to the Middle Ages with Salem Witch Hunts. Alas, religious cultists never learn. </p><p>3) Republicans will be Demolished in the Midterms</p><p>This I&#8217;m fairly sure of. American people already feel deeply disappointed with and betrayed by Trump admin with its Epstein cover up, Israeli shilling, no accountability for any COVID and DemoNratic criminals, no world peace and no strong economy contrary to Trump election promises. </p><p>If Republicans will try to overturn same-sex marriage, it would be the last nail into their coffin. Ukrainian peace deal might in the contrary save them but it&#8217;s unlikely to happen, again. So, most likely Republicans will get demolished. </p><p>4) AI Shit will Get Much Worse</p><p>I don&#8217;t really expect Skynet rising straight away but AI might start creating serious problems already this year though. Thus, AI data centers might cause electricity shortages and power grid collapse which would be blamed on &#8216;climate change&#8217;. </p><p>Meanwhile, another sinister aspect of AI - its &#8216;emotional learning&#8217; - might lead to AI boyfriends and girlfriends and dead parents &#8216;resurrected&#8217; by AI based on their social media logs. This shit had already begun mind you but it might get much more widespread this year. </p><p>Obviously, AI can&#8217;t really feel and can&#8217;t replace real partners and parents - but it might become a substitute which is enough for lonely and grieving people, and this is dangerous because you know, I believe that illusionary happiness is worse than grief, and in the end it will only lead to much more grief. </p><p>In addition, AI will keep blurring the distinction between real and fake, and deep fakes and AI created images, texts and videos would be harder and harder to distinguish from human content, and thst might be used to dupe us more efficiently both by criminals and state propaganda. </p><p>There might be other AI dangers on the way but even those I mentioned are enough to make all of us worried. </p><p>5) Digital Concentration Camp and mRNA Genetic Modification of Humans are Coming Too</p><p>Sinister plans to instill digital IDs globally - UK, EU, Russia, Canada, Australia - prove that our elite is gonna try to put us all into digital concentration camp. Digital currencies and ESG will inevitably follow too if we won&#8217;t resist this shit. </p><p>Rapid development of mRNA &#8216;vaccines&#8217; against cancer in US and Russia tells us that they&#8217;re gonna genetically modify humans, using cancer as an excuse for it. Ofc it will start with cancer patients but won&#8217;t end with them and everyone who resists this shit will be framed as &#8216;science denier&#8217; and even a &#8216;murderer&#8217; who wants to &#8216;kill all cancer patients&#8217;. Again, beware. </p><p>6) New Major Psy Op is Coming</p><p>We actually lived without a new major psy op for four years. Ukraine was our last big psy op, and before it we had three major psy ops - COVID, BLM and trans psychosis. But after Ukraine - no major psy op for four years? Well, technically there was October 7th and Gaza but I think it was rather a minor psy op, not as profound and not at such a massive scale, and even THAT was over two years ago already. So, our elites must be dying for a new psy op! And I think time is ripe for it now after Trump as their current puppet is settled in the White House. </p><p>What would be this new psy op? It&#8217;s hard to tell since it might be literally anything, knowing our diabolical billionaire elite, the real rulers of this world. It might be a new war or new &#8216;deadly virus&#8217; or &#8216;climate catastrophe&#8217;. Or even an alien invasion!</p><p>Taking into account that we already had a COVID scamdemic and phoney war in Ukraine and thst our elite doesn&#8217;t like to repeat itself, alien invasion is actually more likely psy op, ironically. Remember also they were talking of aliens quite excessively during last two years in the mainstream (which is unusual because usually only cheap yellow press seriously talked of aliens!) so they might have been sowing seeds for upcoming psy op. </p><p>How would they accomplish it? Using holograms likely. Or they even might have gotten real aliens for all we know since American government with its projects Blue Beam and stuff was into this shit for quite a while. Either way, we will be fucked. </p><p>There might be a lot more sinister shit unfolding but these six dark predictions are enough to make us all worried for now though already.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

I'm not denying any of it but it's only part of the story. </p><p>However, we aren't told another part of the story - how 'traditional' conservative values were abusing and even killing men for centuries, using them as a disposable cannon fodder to fight and die in elite's wars, for elite's money and power. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>We aren't being told of it because neither Left nor right are interested in that. Woke feminists aren't interested in suffer of men under &#8216;traditional&#8217; systems - they care only of the suffer of women. And conservative right care of suffer of men only in modern liberal and post liberal Woke system, not in their own conservative one. Hence, both &#8216;sides' ignore this very important issue, and it's up to me to discuss it. So let's go. </p><p>1) Men are Used as Disposable Cannon Fodder in &#8216;Traditional Systems&#8217;</p><p>That's perhaps the worst crime against men perpetrated by &#8216;traditional systems&#8217; for millennia - to conscript all men and send them to die in wars started by elites and governments. Men are used just as cannon fodder who were slaughtered in millions if not in billions throughout history so elites could settle their territorial disputes. It's just monstrous. </p><p>Ofc, military servitude and mass slaughter of men in wars is framed as a &#8216;duty to defend one's fatherland&#8217;, and men who die in wars are treated as &#8216;heroes&#8217;. It's easy to see through this deception though - dead men don't care whether they're treated as &#8216;heroes&#8217; or &#8216;traitors&#8217;, and they needed not die at all in a territorial disputes of their rulers. War propaganda is the most horrible and evil and long-standing one in all history of humanity. </p><p>And war propaganda comes mostly from conservative side, exploiting conservative traditional values like patriotism, duty, strong masculinity, where it's a &#8216;male duty to defend their homeland and families&#8217;, etc. All these noble words were used to slaughter innocent young men for millennia. </p><p>Liberal values, in the contrary, put an end to this shit - at least to military servitude and compulsory conscription. Men aren't obliged to serve in the army in the West these days. Only those men who want to fight could do it. </p><p>&#8216;Traditional societies' like Russia or Ukraine still have mandatory conscription and military servitude mind you. They still kill their men in wars like in Ukraine now. And even those men who aren't sent to die in Ukraine have their lives ruined by the army where they're often bullied, tormented, beaten and raped by their military commanders and older soldiers. This is &#8216;traditional values&#8217; for you! </p><p>Yet Western conservative sheeple completely ignore it and call healthy demilitarization an &#8216;emasculation of men'. Please make it make sense. </p><p>2) Men are Forced to &#8216;Provide for Families&#8217; </p><p>Military servitude and mass slaughter of men in wars isn't an only crime against men perpetrated by &#8216;traditional societies&#8217;. To force men to &#8216;provide for family&#8217; is another one. </p><p>In traditional societies, the ideal is a large family with many kids and wives who don't work so men alone have to &#8216;provide' for family. Since this family is pretty large, men need to work hard to earn enough money for it, and they don't have any free time, any hobbies, any lives of their own at all! Nope, male whole life is a servitude for their family when they have to work daily 24/7 to earn bread for all their large families! </p><p>So, it's not enough that men are slaves for the state in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217;, they're also slaves for their families who had to work and work and work so their &#8216;family&#8217; could live. </p><p>There's no other meaning for male life in &#8216;traditional societies' but do their duty&#8217; and serve - their government, their family, everybody but themselves. Men couldn't and shouldn't live for themselves in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217;, only for others! </p><p>When I hear conservative male sheeple who want to restore this &#8216;paradise&#8217; when they're mercilessly exploited as work horses and slaughtered as cannon fodder in wars, I want to vomit.</p><p>3) Men are Used on Hardest Work like Mining</p><p>Speaking of using men as work horses in traditional societies, it's never as obvious as in heaviest jobs like mining which use predominantly male workforce and kill male health faster than smoking and alcohol. </p><p>Again, you'd never see women doing those jobs. Female health is protected while male health is ruined because men are disposable in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217;. But since men are being flattered as &#8216;strong sex' who could actually do this type of heavy jobs, men are ruining their health voluntarily because their ego is elated. Sigh. </p><p>4) Toxic Habits like Alcohol, Smoking, etc. are Encouraged in Men while Discouraged in Women</p><p>Male genocide in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217; isn't limited to wars and hard work. Nope, men are being killed by encouraging their self-destruction via literally toxic unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. </p><p>Please note that it's mostly traditional societies who encourage such a male behavior (like Russia for example where drinking a lot of alcohol is considered a main male 'virtue'!) while women are discouraged from drinking and smoking because &#8216;they'll have to give birth'. Nevermind that if a man ruined his health his baby won't be healthy as well. This hypocrisy and double standard are just monstrous. </p><p>Healthy societies would discourage heavy drinking and smoking equally for both sexes, not encourage it for one and discourage it for another! But again - men are disposable garbage in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217;, only women and kids are valued there. Men are just used (and abused) as their servants, &#8216;providers&#8217; and &#8216;defenders&#8217;, and due to their immense stupidity gladly agree to be all of those. </p><p>5) Men Injure Each Other in Street Fights</p><p>Street fights and any other male-on-male violence - from wars to beating your son (while daughters are untouchable and are treated as princesses!) is another toxic landmark of &#8216;traditional societies'. </p><p>Men need to be &#8216;tough&#8217; and hence constantly punch and injure each other so they could grow &#8216;stronger&#8217; to perform their main and indeed only function in &#8216;traditional societies&#8217; - to sacrifice their lives in order to &#8216;defend&#8217; their government, their women and their (female) children (because their male children should fight and die too, it's a primary male purpose in traditionalist societies after all) </p><p>6) Men have No Right to Love and Care for Each Other Hence Male Homosexual Love is Banned</p><p>While male-on-male violence is encouraged and praised, male love is condemned and prosecuted (just think of it - when men kill each other, it's &#8216;alright&#8217; for traditionalists, but when they love each - it's a &#8216;crime'! - a monstrous inversion indeed!) </p><p>Why is it so? Again, men have no right to care for themselves and for each other. They should only serve their government, women, and their female children (daughters) while abusing their male ones (sons). Male lives are disposable and should not be cared for, least of all by other men. This is &#8216;traditional values&#8217; for you. </p><p>Additionally, when men love and marry each other, they do realize that they actually can survive without women and hence realize their own value independent of women. </p><p>Traditionalist societies which make men slaves of women, can't really allow that. Hence gay male love is their worst nightmare, and gay people like me are their worst enemies. Good. I love to be an enemy of such an evil scum. </p><div><hr></div><p>But why do men still embrace &#8216;traditional societies&#8217; which as you could see now harm, abuse and even kill them in countless ways while resenting modern society which actually liberated men as much as it did women? The answer is male ego, alas. </p><p>Men are Easily Controlled by Flattering their Egos, and this is a Huge Problem</p><p>The fact that many men embrace conservative &#8216;traditional values&#8217; which literally kill men in wars, force them to work hard like slaves on brutal jobs to &#8216;provide for families&#8217;, and deprive men from any choice and indeed any meaning in life, just because traditionalists flatter men as &#8216;heroes&#8217; and &#8216;defenders&#8217;, is beyond deplorable. </p><p>Are men really THAT easy to manipulate? Tell them sweet lies, feed their ego, and they&#8217;d literally die for you? Oh my. </p><p>It&#8217;s even worse that so many men viciously attack modern liberal Western system simply because it doesn&#8217;t flatter them, despite it did a lot for men factually. </p><p>What exactly had modern Western liberal system done for men? </p><p>For a starter, it cancelled a male military servitude and mandatory conscription for all males which is really a big deal. Secondly, it freed men from their &#8216;duty&#8217; to &#8216;provide for families&#8217; by first allowing women to work and secondly by decreasing the average size of family. </p><p>Thus, men now have much more free time for themselves, their friends, hobbies, and their lives overall. Yet dumb male sheeple bemoan times when they were sleeves forced to &#8216;provide for family&#8217;! Please make it make sense. </p><p>In addition to it, modern system doesn&#8217;t force men to work on hardest jobs like mining thus fucking up their health. And lastly, modern system gives men a choice for family life - now, men can choose to marry other men or not to marry at all if they don&#8217;t want to. While &#8216;traditionalist&#8217; systems were forcing men to marry women and have kids. </p><p>Yet, many male sheeple apparently bemoan times when they have no choice in family life whatsoever. Please it make it make sense as well. </p><p>But why were men so happy when they were mercilessly exploited by the system as work horses and even slaughtered as a cannon fodder, and so unhappy now when they&#8217;re given much more freedom and real value to their lives?  </p><p>I&#8217;ll tell you why - because of male immense ego. Modern system which elevated also women, isn&#8217;t that flattering to it. Men are now being accused of being oppressors, predators, rapists, etc. I don&#8217;t deny it, often those accusations are unfair and sexist because indeed, most men aren&#8217;t like that and shouldn&#8217;t be accused of it. So I understand while men are pissed off by it, being a man myself. </p><p>However, it&#8217;s mostly still just hurty words and nothing more. Yeah, sometimes, like during MeToo times, it goes beyond that and actually harms men, but in most cases it&#8217;s still just hurty words. And hurty words are in my view better than being used as a cannon fodder and slaves to the system. </p><p>The fact that most men don&#8217;t really understand that and wanna bring times of their enslavement and mass slaughter back just because they don&#8217;t want to hear hurty words, is pretty sad.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Voting ceased to work (if it ever did!) and even by electing Trump we weren&#8217;t able to achieve shit and just postponed the imminent destruction at best (though I&#8217;m not sure even here!)</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Massive protests? Well, I&#8217;m not sure conservatives, libertarians and other awakened folks could even organize for that, being both too individualistic and law-abiding for it. Leftists for example could organize for protests but since most of them are completely brainwashed, they won&#8217;t protest for any actual cause, only for manufactured one (like BLM or &#8216;climate protests&#8217;). So it&#8217;s kinda a trap - people who can protest won&#8217;t and people who might want to protest can&#8217;t. Checkmate.</p><p>But does it mean we&#8217;re completely helpless though if neither voting nor protests work? Not really. There are still few things we can do. I&#8217;d outline them.</p><p><strong>1) Be Active at Local Level!</strong></p><p>Yeah it&#8217;s next to impossible to fix shit at federal level but it&#8217;s more realistic at local one. Research and contact your local politicians and activists, choose those whom you could trust and support them with your money and time, collaborate with them, etc.</p><p>As a result you will at least be able to make your local life better and at the very best you could help your local guys to get elected at federal level so there will be at least some honest politicians in Congress who could help us even if just by blocking the most nefarious agenda in the Senate.</p><p><strong>2) Bury Prominent Criminals in Lawsuits!</strong></p><p>If Trump isn&#8217;t in a hurry to prosecute COVID, Russiagate, J6 and other prominent criminals, we could do it ourselves. However, we must realize we need a complete case for that. We can&#8217;t just say &#8216;Fauci killed millions of people&#8217; even if it&#8217;s truth because we have no direct proof, so our case won&#8217;t be taken.</p><p>But if you&#8217;re vaccine injured and can actually prove it (that damage was done to you by the vax and it&#8217;s not just a coincidence), then you could actually have a case against Pfizer, Fauci or at least your local doctor or school who forced you to get injected with mRNA poison. Yeah to bring this case forward might require some courage and a lot of effort - your money, time, energy, etc. - but it&#8217;s doable. Also, you might serve as a trailblazer here, inspiring other vaccine injured to file lawsuits too. And if there will be many lawsuits, they just couldn&#8217;t dismiss them all and will have to at least process them which would already be a minor win!</p><p><strong>3) Keep Speaking Up, Wake More Sheeple and Connect with Already Awakened Folks!</strong></p><p><strong>If </strong>you aren&#8217;t up to lawsuits and don&#8217;t trust even local politicians, there&#8217;s still something you can do - speak up, wake more people or connect with already awakened ones. You could speak up on Substack, X, or at your workplace, friend gathering and family dinner. Yeah some arguments would inevitably ensue but some people might actually support you or at least think of your words, who knows? Or you might inspire someone else to speak up. And anyway at least one person who woke up due to your words or actions is worth of derision of hundreds of sheeple!</p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/how-could-regular-people-make-a-meaningful?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Most of us critical thinkers feel lonely, isolated, outcast, so it&#8217;s vital for us to create our own trusted network - both as a cure against loneliness and as a safety belt in case of new massive psy op (that we&#8217;d have at least some people around who would support us in that case and not snitch on us!)</p><p>So as you see speaking up can be very helpful and productive and requires a minimum effort. You don&#8217;t even have to start your Substack for it. Just speak up to your friends, family members, colleagues, acquaintances, etc.</p><p>So we aren&#8217;t as helpless in the end of the day as you could see now.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Before Trump win last year I thought that our psychopathic WEF billionaire elite strongly favors the Left with their &#8216;trust to science&#8217;, willingness to &#8216;make sacrifices for the greater good&#8217; and to let illegal immigrants and Muslims destroy our nations, while conservatives with their strong nationalism and a healthy distrust to &#8216;experts&#8217; were a bone in the elite&#8217;s throat. </p><p>Now I don&#8217;t think so anymore. I believe elite needs both Left and Right to have more or less equal power so they could keep us at each other&#8217;s throats - properly divided and distracted. That&#8217;s the only way for our sick elite to survive - to keep us so busy barking at each other so we won&#8217;t notice the elite with its evil machinations. Profit. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Not really when one side is too powerful to stifle and censor any dissent while another too weak to meaningfully resist. This is how it was in American society during 2020-2024, and it apparently didn&#8217;t suit the corporate elite if they (s-) elected Trump. </p><p>Again, when one side fully dominates the narrative, there could be no meaningful partisan fight. Hence, we won&#8217;t be busy fighting each other and might start paying more attention to the elite and their machinations. They don&#8217;t really want that. </p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/the-elite-wants-us-divided-and-distracted?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

The fact that Freedom Convoy organizers now face ten years prison sentence in Canada proves they were the real threat to our elite too. </p><p>So the elite got scared and decided to take conservatives out of the shadows back into the mainstream after Freedom Convoy.

On the background of Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination it became trendy in conservative circles to denounce all kinds of political violence from assassinations to riots as &#8216;evil&#8217; and &#8216;absolutely unacceptable&#8217;. </p><p>Yet I can&#8217;t help but wonder would conservative reaction to political assassination and violence overall have been the same if it was not Charlie Kirk but say Obama or Kamala who was assassinated. Or, even better, actual criminals like Bill Gates or Fauci. </p><p>So would we have been condemning the assassination as loudly then? Or would we have been secretly cheering it? Now I am asking really uncomfortable questions, am I not? But I love doing so and someone must do it because if we constantly avoid hard topics, we&#8217;d degrade as a species. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

This time around it&#8217;s not just hypocrisy and partisanship - that is, &#8216;we condemn political assassinations when our guy is murdered but cheer it when it&#8217;s their guy who&#8217;s murdered&#8217; - it&#8217;s something much more complex and deep. </p><p>That is, the main reason of conservative outrage over Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination isn&#8217;t just that he was a conservative guy but most importantly that he didn&#8217;t deserve it. He wasn't a criminal, just an ordinary guy. Also, Charlie Kirk wasn&#8217;t &#8216;evil Nazi&#8217; as psychotic Left living in a fantasy portrayed him, but a decent person who believed in debate. Yeah we might not always agree with what he was saying (personally I didn&#8217;t agree with his stance on homosexuality as a gay guy and with his stance on Israel-Palestine as genuinely anti-war guy) but disagreeing with someone doesn&#8217;t mean wishing death upon him or believing he deserves such. So this is what caused public outrage over Charlie Kirk&#8217;s assassination - not just that he was killed but that he clearly didn&#8217;t deserve it! </p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/how-to-punish-criminals-in-power?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption"></p></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/how-to-punish-criminals-in-power?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="/__u/alexilex.substack.com/p/how-to-punish-criminals-in-power?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share</span></a></p></div><p>Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

Well, maybe actual criminals and murderers shielded frim law by their money and power? </p><p>For example, imagine if Bill Gates or Fauci got assassinated. These incredibly corrupt and evil men are behind COVID scamdemic and Big Pharma fakeccines depopulation program. Moreover, Bill Gates &#8216;vaccine&#8217; bloody trail left millions in Africa and India dead or injured while Fauci is likely responsible for HIV and scapegoating of gay men for it. Again, they're actual criminals and genocidal murderers, prolific serial killers, shielded from law by their money and power. </p><p>Taking all of it into account, wouldn&#8217;t their potential assassin be doing a huge favor to humankind by eliminating them? Would it even be an assassination in this case or justice? </p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share The Great Resist&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="/__u/alexilex.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share The Great Resist</span></a></p><p>It&#8217;s more complex question than it seems as well. On the one hand, we aren&#8217;t gods or even judges and shouldn&#8217;t assume their role even to deliver an actual justice. But on the other hand, if our justice system is corrupt and broken and can&#8217;t perform their basic function, what should we people do? Who would deliver justice if judges refused to do it and God (or gods, or karma) either don&#8217;t exist or don&#8217;t meddle into our affairs at least? Then HOW are we to stop injustice and punish actual criminals? </p><p>I think we all should ponder those questions rather than broadly denouncing all violence and waiting for a justice from a corrupt broken system. </p><p>Just in case I don&#8217;t call to assassinate anyone not even Bill Gates or Fauci, I&#8217;m just asking how to deliver justice to criminals who are shielded from law by their money and power. </p><div class="captioned-button-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://alexilex.substack.com/p/how-to-punish-criminals-in-power?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share&quot;}" data-component-name="CaptionedButtonToDOM"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading The Great Resist!

American Right are pathologically scared of any &#8216;political violence&#8217;, even if just a massive general strike, and always like to say that they aren&#8217;t barbarians, they&#8217;re &#8216;for law and order&#8217;. But let us not pretend - when justice system in this country is completely broken, HOW could there be law and order? </p><p>Just look at the recent past - NONE of the prominent criminals was held accountable! COVID Pharma criminals, J6 criminals, neocon war criminals, Epstein clients - NONE of them was held accountable! And yet you still dare say something about &#8216;law and order&#8217; in this country?! </p><p>And yet whenever people, seeing that American justice system is completely broken, seek other ways to save their country from criminals in charge - either general strike or massive riots or political assassinations of criminals shielded from the law by their money and power - conservatives shrink from that in horror because they&#8217;re for &#8216;law and order&#8217;&#8230; which kinda don&#8217;t even exist anymore. Splendid. </p><p>More of this moral cowardice and hypocrisy and you&#8217;d never deliver justice to actual criminals and never save your country from them. </p><p>Thanks for reading The Great Resist!
