This is a good read on how mental images effect and affect society. I've grown to appreciate the concept of imaging driving society, Plato would call them forms. As you begin to grasp mental images, patterns in society and history become clearer and we can begin to identify a schema for these images and find flaws in man and I think potentially we can identify hazards. There is a conceit for the perfect man Jesus Christ, Marcus Aurelius, Mohammed, Buddha, but I doubt that it is an inborn and eternal image, there may be a pattern in our consciousness to seek out the perfect man but I doubt there is a preformed image or components with that image and so religion or high philosophy gives us a form to imitate. The pursuit of the ideal form is inborn, not the image itself. This is why I think we see transgender and homosexual phenomena at the late stage of culture preceding collapse the ideal form is subjective to most of us minor differences usually but at the late stage of culture we see explosions of choice and diversity in all aspects of life and so new images and ideology begin to construct and distort ideals. An ideal woman to me is subservient, docile, willing and happy to stay at home and raise the children and cook our meals, tend the home and meet my needs, in form personal taste abides, obviously, but I'm inoculated against ideological poison where as common men hold a poisonous ideology, feminism, and can't see the ideal I do in constructing their ideal woman, they can't allow themselves to want for anything that is repugnant to feminist ideology because they are conditioned as such through emotional barrage. A parallel ideal opens, a fantasy woman, a woman pursuing the feminine earnestly, a woman without lunacy and the emotional short comings of women, a woman who innately grasps the desires of a man, at this point we have a mental hermaphrodite the form of woman and her femininity with the logical mind of man and a man's libido, this fantasy becomes an ideal and when confronted by the existence of something like this a transference of this fantasy onto a new category occurs, man fools himself, he creates an illusion, a false image which when confronted by the existence of the hermaphrodite or the tranny he may transpose this sexual illusion onto their misshapen form. The eternal hermaphrodite; hermaphrodite is in ancient myth the child of hermes, the messenger of the gods, and Aphrodite the ideal of feminine beauty among the gods. This illusion dates back to the greeks, the persians had it, the decadent classes in the roman empire pursued it we saw it in weimar germany and here today, it exists in the east but many such places do not have it as we do, it's an exotic fantasy based in the eternal pattern's illusion to them by my estimation The phenomena needs research but we know the fantasy is born in the late stage of western cultures, it could be eastern cultures have an image that keeps them from dying or declining so totally and so the illusion loses or never achieves mutual attraction, it could be that soy diets causes the feminization but as yet crippled culture does not lead women to disgust men. Look at elegabalus and nero, nero took a feminine boy, gelded him and took him as consort/wife likely because nero hated or feared women, his own mother did allow his torture as a boy and tried to kill him, perhaps it was just corruption from the hell of his youth and so his created homunculus hermaphrodite was merely the pursuit of novelty for a man addicted to it; it was said to be love at first sight on nero's part which indicates to me he had a preconceived ideal he projected onto the boy. Elegabalus was another of the mad emperors who dressed as a woman, worshiped a sun god, had hordes of gay lovers and even wore fake breasts. We know less of his upbringing than nero's but we do know his mother was abusive and likely got away with whatever she wanted until he put her down. Woman in the roman court had been getting away with murder for centuries. I urge readers to look up the busts of these two men and compare them to modern forms, elgabalus looks luke a fem soyboy and nero looks like a neckbeard. They lived around the same time too, it's not hard to figure that some estrogenic compound had entered the roman diet or environment at that time. My conclusion is that the degeneracy is cyclical and that other less successful non white cultures have had these phenomena but not collapsed, or perhaps have lived in a state of collapse. I suspect the degeneracy is rooted in the balance or women's position in society but mitigating factors like subversive groups, endocrine disruption, and the decay of novel stimulation among the highest classes likely effect the speed and severity of cultural collapse/decay. I suspect that when women hold too much power and inevitably abuse it they damage the image of woman in the mind of men, this innate worship of the feminine mutates into mimicry to achieve the ease and power of women or into a disgust for woman, this disgust breaking two ways, one, a disgust for women who fail to live uo to the ideal form and the other a disgust for the ideal form itself. A noteworthy element is that never in the history of western civilization has decadence been so widespread as it is now, I expect this will effect our collapse in as yet unpredictable ways.
