If Red-Pill were a martial art, he'd be our sensei: a Fred Reed appreciation thread
Recipe for awesome:

1.Take the mental processing power, military experience, and classical education of Quintus Curtius;
2. Filter through the fair-minded yet healthily-jaded agnostic and honestly-seeking worldview of Roosh;
3. Sprinkle with a little Heartiste-esque observation on society and demographics,
4. Season liberally with your favorite crazy uncle's wry sense of humor;
5. Multiply by half a century spent perfecting his craft; and:

...you have Fred Reed.

Anybody who fancies himself a writer or thinker must read Reed--as must anyone who thinks subtle irony and deft verbal jabs make for great humor, and anyone who simply enjoys great storytelling with a profound moral to every story. Think Mark Twain meets Ambrose Bierce.

Fred is published in multiple venues you've heard of, including Soldier of Fortune, back in the day, and The Unz Review today. I prefer, however, to go straight to the source, and give him those encouraging pageviews at his blog http://www.FredOnEverything.org

As a brief taste for those who've not read Fred in a while, here's the opener for his latest weekly column:

Quote: As a society crumbles, as bitter divisions grow and disorder spreads and nothing seems to work, anger comes and people begin to want a man who will say “Enough!” and slap down the malefactors–by any means necessary. A man who will make the trains run on time. A man who will make it safe to walk in the parks.

This is the authoritarian impulse. As corruption grows, as a coagulated government fails to function, the temptation comes. It is coming.

Recently I read that in Brazil some thirty men gang-raped a young woman, left her emotionally devastated, bleeding, with a ruptured bladder, and laughed as they did it before posting the video online. My first thought was that they should be rounded up, shot without ceremony, and dropped into a public sewer. I meant this without a trace of hyperbole.

Two questions:

First, what proportion of the general public would agree with me in private? Second, what proportion would say so publicly? That is, say to hell with legal procedure, clotted bureaucracy, years of appeals, plea bargains, the insanity defense, and how they were troubled youth.

The ratio of the first to the second I will call Fred’s Fraction in a lunge for sociological immortality. It is an indicator of a country’s explosive potential, of how much anger exists and how tightly the lid is held on. When a great many are very sick of misbehavior, and government prevents both discussion and remedy, people begin to want someone in power who will forcibly end the detested behavior.


I haven't yet read the rest, but I don't doubt for a moment that it will be engaging and enlightening.

Proceed not with caution, but with abandon, in immersing yourself in this man's works. He's more than a pundit, he's a true philosopher, a constructive contrarian, and a literary and philosophical icon worthy of recognizance.

The guy is a bona fide cuck on immigration, and I'm sure in some ways he is a good person.

RE: If Red-Pill were a martial art, he'd be our sensei: a Fred Reed appreciation thread
He's not on point every time but his style is razor sharp and I'm not often disappointed with his work.

Living in Mexico with a Mexican wife (or whatever), he seems to be more pro messican than the average murican and less pro murican than his fellow muricans.

I've no doubt he loved the nation he grew up in but he contends that the nation of his childhood is pretty much dead and buried.

In any case he's solidly on the red pill and has a no-fucks-given kind of attitude. He'll also respond to emails when he can.

Is he a Cuck on immigration? His points on the subject seem to be:

1. Not all Mexicans are the retarded habitual criminals that many immigration opponents purport them to be (but he always uses as his examples middle or upper-class Mexicans still living in their native land).

2. Rounding up and deporting millions of people is a much less feasible task than most people think it is.

Nowhere have I heard him say "Just go ahead and keep letting them in", which is what I'd assume a bona fide cuck would say.

(For the record, I don't like it when he brings up the above points, because it's more comfortable to dehumanize people who don't look or speak like I do, and whose culture is incompatible with mine--but at least Fred seems intellectually honest about it.)

Quote:What to Do with Latinos?: Get Used to Them


He is somewhat a cuck on immigration.

And yeah - I get it - many Latinos are actually Spanish and Portuguese descendants whiter than Europeans, but it still doest not validate the reasoning why European founded predominantly White countries should easily let their countries become like South American or worse for that matter.

Any country has to have the right to keep their ethnic makeup as they have been founded upon and created. Mexico has that even embedded in their constitution.

So I would say, that he is a cuck and a pro-immigration proponent. I don't care if a few come and add something to the gene-pool. 3 Blacks in Viking medieval Norway would have been easily embedded into the gene pool and probably would have produced some interesting genetic variations, but 5 mio. of them would have wiped out the Viking Norwegian stock.

Either way - no reason debating it. I understand why he loves Latina pussy and nothing wrong with that, but does not mean that the US becoming Latino is a good thing that we should all be for it. So no sensei status for that bloke!

I need to follow my own rule of not starting threads when I've been drinking. Anybody who wants to change the thread title to "That loveable old cuck Fred Reed", or whatever, go ahead. My only hope was to have a Reed thread, because he's a worthy philosopher on many subjects.

No big deal.

It is close to impossible to agree on all things.
I don't agree on everything with my very best Red Pill friends for whom I would die for.

He may be right on many issues for sure, but this is not a trifle thing he is writing about.

The easiest way to reach a wider reach is to do it like Rationalmale Rollo Tomassi - he simply does not discuss any topics like religion, politics, race etc. That way he reaches a wide swath of people just concentrating on Red Pill.

RE: If Red-Pill were a martial art, he'd be our sensei: a Fred Reed appreciation thread
Fred Reed is the cuckiest of cucks. He's a Bill Kristol level cuck, in my opinion.

Look at Zelscorpion's post linked above. In his piece he talks about how young white Americans are going to be bewitched by the beauty of latinos, and abandon white nationalism in droves for sweet latina pussy.

He even puts in a picture of a cute latino girl to drive home his point.

[Image: 15037152_10209707884566871_7416369806600094543_n.jpg]



The reality, of course, is that Hispanic chicks are fatter than white girls. White women in the US are fat enough, but latinos are even worse. Over 3 in 4 hispanics in the US are overweight or obese!

The reality of Hispanic women in America, according to the data, is this:

[Image: 4734339-Overweight-Hispanic-girl-sitting...spanic.jpg]


Fred isn't stupid. He knows these figures. He's lying to himself, and he's lying to his readers, to make himself feel better about abandoning his home and his people for Mexico. Dude is a mega-cuck.

Got neck and shoulder pain from bad posture? Why not try these stretches?

I have no opinion about the guy, because I haven't read/listened to him, but this chick is a 6 at best, if that is meant as advertisment for an ethnic type, I am not impressed.

RE: If Red-Pill were a martial art, he'd be our sensei: a Fred Reed appreciation thread
I read that column he did on Unz Review that Zelscorpion mentioned about Latino immigration. He makes some damn good points about the inevitability of it, whether we want said immigrants or not.

To be absolutely honest, attention is immediately shifted to the "bad" on all matters illegals. Yes they are still damn well illegal and shouldn't be here, but once they are most of them won't go back - for good reason. Mexico for instance is a hell-hole in most parts. I can understand why people want to get the fuck out of there and up to here.

#HateFacts do assert that they drain our welfare system here and take way more out than they give back - not including what they are sending back. It's one issue that infuriates US citizens here. Yet again though, I understand why and would do the same in their shoes.

Coming over legally is expensive. Thousands of dollars these people don't have. If we are brutally honest, those aren't exactly the people we want in the country for the purpose of getting the best and the brightest, but at least the cost of strawberries and landscaping go down. It's also one reason why we need restricted immigration - legal immigration that is as well. If we are going to have a welfare system of any kind, those restrictions have to be in place or demographic rivalries and feuding will only grow as well as an ethnic tribal mentality instead of an assimilated American one.

I do have a bias though. I'm far more sympathetic to Mexicans in particular as I grew up around a lot of them. I've seen them at their best and worst. I'm worried about them becoming a progressive block, but the family structure they have is solid. What undermines it is actually American culture. 3rd generation Mexicans still share some affinity with Mexico because of their parents and grandparents, but they don't have those same values. Just an observation.

"Be a leader and never ever follow" That's what my father, that's what he always told me. So with those words boldly spoken, he sent me down a long and hard road.

My site and my journey into marriage and fatherhood.

Deus Vult brothers.

RE: If Red-Pill were a martial art, he'd be our sensei: a Fred Reed appreciation thread
Hmm. I'm against ALL immigration, legal or otherwise (spouses and children excepted), until every American has a job or owns a business. Why are we giving away our resources we can't spare to poachers? It's like planting a garden to feed your family and inviting people to come take your crop without compensating you.

That said, I'm not going to stop admiring Fred for being willing to say things that he knows will piss off people on his own side of the aisle.

Just yesterday I was at the store, dodging the many obese wookies and ewoks, holding my breath when they walked in front of me, resenting that they've darkened the White country I grew up in. I remembered Fred's proposed response to when people call you racist: "So what?!" Arguments for nationalism don't depend on the race of the one arguing.

RE: Fred Reed appreciation thread
Fred Reed is interesting but his writings about Mexico often sound more like cheerleading than reporting. I think he's genuinely happy in Mexico and wisely chooses to focus on the good things.

If you break it down, latinos are OVERWEIGHT at higher rates than white Americans, but white Americans have higher rates of OBESITY. There are relatively few latinos with People-of-WalMart bodies.

I haven't studied the Mexican constitution closely -- it's a bloated, irrelevant and unenforceable document not ready for the twenty-first century -- but I'm not aware of anything in there about preserving ethnic makeup, other than rules that certain political positions can only be held by those who are Mexican by birth. Article 2 recognizes that the Mexican population is mixed, having once been made up of indigenous people; and specifically protects the rights of indigenous people. Article 32 says that Mexicans are to be given certain jobs preferences over foreigners. Article 33 says that foreigners can be expelled for any reason and that they must not meddle in the internal politics of the country.
