What a wretched week that was. Got swept by the Indians at the Mistake on the Lake, and then came home to split a two game series against the Royals, which is a lot better than the first time we faced them at the beginning of the season. Now we’re 17-26, eight games behind the Red Sox, and will be hosting the 23-20 Atlanta Bravos tomorrow night.

The ‘Red Pill’ Remains Undefeated

Posted on | February 15, 2025 | Comments Off on The ‘Red Pill’ Remains Undefeated

Rollo Tomassi: Godfather of the ‘Red Pill’

Late Friday the political world was shaken when MAGA influencer Ashley St. Clair revealed that last year she gave birth to Elon Musk’s 13th offspring. Quickly, I sought out Rollo Tomassi’s take on this development, which was of course highly amusing.

Rollo (a pseudonym) has long pointed out that “Red Pill” is not ideology, but praxeology (“the study of human action and behavior”). It’s not about dictating what you should do, but rather about understanding what you actually do. And when you consider what Ashley St. Clair actually did — clawing her way to prominence in MAGA world, in order to get herself inseminated by The Richest Man in the World — you’ve got to tip the cap to Rollo, who has lectured endlessly about hypergamy as the motive force of female behavior. It doesn’t get more Red Pill than this.

Recall that in 2019, I traveled to Orlando to cover a Red Pill conference where Rollo was the featured speaker:

While most of these guys are Trump supporters, the “red pill” is not about politics in the usual sense. The phrase, borrowed from the 1999 film The Matrix, refers to seeing through socially accepted illusions to understand the brutal truths of human nature. A major popularizer of this concept as applied to male-female relationships is Rollo Tomassi, author of the 2013 book The Rational Male and its sequels. Tomassi was introduced at the 21 Convention as the “godfather” of the red-pill community. “A lot of men are finding the red pill because they’re looking for answers,” Tomassi said during an on-stage discussion with popular Tulsa radio talk-show host Pat Campbell. Often the experience of divorce or the break-up of a romantic relationship leads men to discovering the online community known as the “manosphere,” where Tomassi’s books about “intersexual dynamics” are widely read. Campbell says he’s heard from men who say their lives were quite literally saved by reading The Rational Male. “They were ready to end it all, zero out,” Campbell told me, describing men — typically in their 40s — who were devastated by divorce. Tomassi has become a regular weekly guest on Campbell’s morning program on Tulsa’s KFAQ-AM.
“The feminization of culture” has developed a woman-centered “gynocratic ideal” in Western societies, Tomassi explained to an audience of about 100 men attending the conference. This creates a concept in which fathers are regarded as superfluous in their children’s lives, an effect compounded by the fact that 77% of teachers are women, so that children are raised under female authority, with little effective male influence in their lives. “The systematic disempowerment of men” in modern culture, Tomassi said, is a major cause of what he called “the ‘Lost Boy’ generation” of young men lacking the ability to live productive, independent lives and form successful relationships with women. .. .

You can read the rest to remind yourself. What does Rollo mean by “the feminization of culture”? Among other things, it means that boys learn to be “simps,” forever trying to please girls who, in turn, learn to be cruel ice queens, always expecting servile abjection from men.

There are unrealistic expectations on both sides of this dynamic, fed by popular culture. For example, young men generally do not seem to realize how rare beautiful women are. Even at the peak age of youthful attractiveness — late teens, early 20s — only a single-digit percentage of women are truly beautiful. Stroll around a college campus and keep a running total in your mind. Maybe 25% or 30% of college girls could be categorized as “reasonably attractive” by a discerning observer, and the real beauties are seldom more than 1-in-20. Why is it, then, that so many barely-average young men let themselves be deluded into thinking that there is some adorable cutie out there just dying to meet them? Feminists have identified the “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” trope in movies as encouraging such beliefs, but they overlook how movies and TV shows similarly foster unrealistic expectations in young women. Not long ago, Instapundit noted that women have fetishized tall men to such an extent as to exclude the vast majority of men from their potential choices. Only 16% of men are six feet tall or more, so if a woman sets her dating app preferences to make six feet the minimum height — and this is apparently quite common — then she never even sees 84% of men on the app.

One sees a lot of young women bragging online about having “high standards” for men — the imperious Ice Queen posture — but on closer examination, this boast is usually just an excuse, a rationalization for why they don’t have a boyfriend. Oh, they’re too good for the available men, and can’t lower their standards by dating any man who might actually be interested in them. This is the mirror-reverse of male “incel” types like Elliot Rodger, who styled himself “The Supreme Gentleman” and harbored a deadly grudge toward all the pretty girls he couldn’t get.

Well, I’ve followed that digression far enough. My point is that Rollo Tomassi’s Red Pill praxeology is about getting men to see the patterns of female behavior in a realistic way, rather than to let themselves be deluded by a bogus Hollywood-manufactured romantic idealism — an appealing fantasy of what women “should” be, as opposed to the reality of what women actually are. Think about all the earnest MAGA guys who might once have had a foolish crush on Ashley St. Clair, but now she’s living in a $15,000-a-month apartment and raising the baby of the World’s Richest Man. If only they’d listened to Rollo . . .

A Celebration in ‘Killadelphia’

Posted on | February 13, 2025 | Comments Off on A Celebration in ‘Killadelphia’

In case you didn’t know who won the Super Bowl

Longtime blog buddy Dana Pico is usually our go-to source for all Philadelphia-related news, but for some reason he had no comment on the Eagles winning the Super Bowl and the subsequent riot. Therefore, belatedly, I’ll supply the necessary update. ABC News:

Dozens of people were arrested in Philadelphia after fans took to the streets to celebrate the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory, police said.
Philadelphia police reported nearly 50 arrests following the Eagles’ win against the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans on Sunday.
Among those, five people were arrested for assault on police, authorities said. There were also two arrests for aggravated assault, one for recklessly endangering another person and one for misdemeanor disorderly conduct in the third degree, police said.
Additionally, police said 29 people were arrested for disorderly conduct and issued code violation notices.
There were eight arrests for vandalism incidents, including against four city sanitation trucks, two banks and two retail stores, police said. The businesses were all in Center City on Walnut Street.
Amid the raucous celebrations, fans were captured passing a downed traffic light pole on a packed street, and a large fire was seen near an intersection.
Police similarly reported disorderly conduct and other incidents after the Eagles won the NFC championship game in Philadelphia on Jan. 26, which sent them to the Super Bowl.
Thirty-one people were issued citations for disorderly conduct or failure to disperse, police said at the time.
Two shootings, a stabbing and a car crash that injured multiple pedestrians were also among several “significant” incidents reported amid the NFC championship celebrations, police said.
Tragically, an 18-year-old Temple University student died after he fell from a light pole while celebrating the [NFC championship game] win, officials said.

The adverb “tragically” is doing a lot of work in that sentence, but rather than digress on that topic — the intersection where FAFO meets the Darwin Awards — permit me to note the location of Sunday night’s “celebration” (by which I mean, riot) in Philadelphia:

Philadelphia police are seeking the people responsible for tearing down Center City traffic light poles during the celebrations that took place following the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory.
On Sunday night, when thousands took to the streets, three poles located at Juniper and Market streets were taken down by a “large group of people” and “damaged beyond repair,” police said Tuesday.

OK, so the intersection of Juniper and Market streets (i.e., the east side of Penn Square) can serve to pinpoint this destructive chaos. This is in the Second Congressional District, represented in Congress by Democratic Rep. Brendan Doyle. However, the district line running north-south bisects Penn Square, so that the violent rioters could easily be residents of the neighboring Third District, represented in Congress by Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans. Using the New York Times interactive map of the 2024 presidential election, which allows you to search results down to the precinct level, I can report that the precincts around Penn Square in Philadelphia went for Kamala Harris with between 81% and 88% of the vote. Nowhere in the vicinity did Trump get as much as 20% of the vote.

This is deep blue territory, in other words, which means that the criminals arrested there are almost certainly Democrat voters:

As thousands took the streets of Philly to celebrate the Eagles victory Sunday night, police say several fans took the festivities too far, ending with their arrest.
Philadelphia police released the mugshots and new details about the arrest of 8 suspects, including two women and six men:

— Terry Kinard, 26, is charged with resisting arrest and harassment for spitting on and hitting a medic
— John Kasianczuk, 44, is charged with simple assault, resisting arrest and defiant trespass for assaulting a police officer.
— Paul Aguilera, 28, is charged with PIC [possessing instruments of crime], REAP [recklessly endangering another person], evading arrest and disorderly conduct for swinging a flag pole, and trying to knock down electrical wires
— Tyler Roach, 30, is charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness
— Destiney Paramore, 18, is charged with REAP, fleeing a police officer, yielding to a pedestrian sidewalk and reckless driving for nearly striking several pedestrians with her vehicle and performing donuts
— Anonio Kizzia, 21, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and disorderly conduct for trying to punch a police officer
— Teairah Tate, 33, is charged with simple assault, resisting arrest and harassment for hitting a police officer
— Brandon Thompson is charged with aggravated assault, PIC, simple assault, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct for throwing liquid into an officer’s face

‘Eagles fans,’ IYKWIMAITYD

“Diversity is our strength!” Crime in Philadelphia is just part of the local culture. Black, white, Hispanic, male, female — everyone in Philly is a dangerous criminal. A propensity for violent mayhem unites the city.

Our friend Dana Pico refers to the city as “Killadelphia,” but actually homicide trends in Philadelphia are down. Last year, there were only 266 murders in Philadelphia, the lowest number in a decade, and down more than 50% from the 559 murders in Philadelphia in 2021. In terms of per capita homicide rates, Philadelphia now ranks 12th among major U.S. cities, with the top five spots held by St. Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans, Detroit and Cleveland. So an Eagles fan was actually more likely to be murdered in New Orleans, where the Super Bowl was played, than in his hometown — a marginal improvement, perhaps, but a potential source of local civic pride: “Philadelphia: Not as Bad as New Orleans.”

Keep in mind that the spontaneous chaos Sunday night in Philly was an unofficial celebration of the Eagles’ win. The team’s Super Bowl victory parade is scheduled for Friday, and here I will remind readers of what I said about Jasmine Crockett’s Texas district:

“With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+27, it is the most Democratic district in Texas.” If your employer relocated you to Dallas, and you were looking to purchase a residence in the area, I’d advise you to stay as far away from the 30th District as possible. Nothing good ever happens inside a D+27 congressional district.

Pennsylvania’s 3rd District is rated D+39. Consider yourself warned.
