“You might find this one interesting.”

-Ron West

I very much enjoyed Mister Kunstler’s [or whoever wrote this for his site, as I found no attribution] take on our society’s first pitched battle in what shall be a long war by the elites to overtly crush the male identity they have subverted for these past hundred years or so. I whole-heartedly agree that Trump is a kind of parody of masculinity, a very shrill, feminized, materialistic braggart.

All that said, clown though he may appear, D. J. Trump has balls. In the end, it was his manliness, marginal though it may be, that carried the day, that diverted the feminist stake from our collective masculine heart. Crude though the means and setting may be, men will be permitted to be men for another four years, ten times the timeframe men like Trump are accustomed to envision.

In our quarterly, corporate world, four years is an eternity. It is a certainty that Trump has won the ephemeral scepter of a nation bereft of virtue. I too, am doubtful he will herald a return of the virtues mankind spent 10,000 years developing and discarded in a generation or two, Western Man having cast off his every value that fails to convert to cash at a maximum exchange rate. The unveiling of Trump’s vision of our shallow notion of forever shall be interesting at least.
