Victor Pride deplatformed himself

It's a pity but he went Christian and took down all his posts. So, get them from the Google cache while you can. https://boldanddetermined.com/

For all my other fellow Bold And Determined Readers,

It’s sad to see that the Victor we’ve come to love for so long is no longer with us. I’ve been reading this blog for almost a decade and it was the only blog I kept coming back to. But I guess it’s time to say goodbye to the blog and the readers here.

Victor has become a born again Christian. And like all other born again Christians he’s in the fanatical and overzealous stage of his Christian journey. I have seen it happen with many people. They ignore everything in the world that’s not written within the Bible. Don’t bother debating him or trying to change him. All he will do is quote Bible verses or link to Sermons preached by others like him.

Maybe it’s good that Vic has found a purpose in life. And the Bible promises to give a person a reason to live. I can see why it would be the last thing you wish to hold on to when you’re in your late 30’s with no progeny or community. After all humans are a pack animals and Christianity gives the lost a sense of community.

Maybe he poked the hive and something happen. After all he was openly talking about the Jews. Maybe they came after him for that. Who knows.

Or maybe the blog is not pulling the same readers as it once did and he’s changing the tone of the blog like Roosh V to keep visitors coming.

Regardless for those that came to the blog to learn something new good luck in your journey of self discover and spiritual path. This blog is no longer a place for open discussion. I’m glad I started my spiritual journey early in life when I was still a teen and out of desperation I am not holding on to Christianity because I don’t know any better. Continue learning non stop.

Remember that the Bible was written by the Romans. They compiled all the books of the early Christian groups and than killed their leaders. The Bible is the perfect manual on how to keep a population and an individual enslaved.

Good luck to you all and Good luck Nickolas and thank you for the content you’ve provided us with. It’s been a great decade of learning from all of you but here’s where our paths diverge.

Religion seems to be becoming a passive-aggressive way by which manosphere bloggers say, "Fuck you" to the readers who didn't support them adequately. They're basically going on strike, because they're disgruntled that after PayPal stopped letting them receive donations easily in major world currencies like USD, their funders didn't switch over to cryptocurrency and continue helping them out that way.

Meanwhile, guys like Anglin keep up the fight, despite getting almost no donations.

The thing is, what are you supposed to do after you quit being a blogger? After I got deplatformed and forced out of my congressional campaign, I used to hang out on a friend's private wiki, where we talked about various topics outside of the public eye, till he started hanging out on one of my forums last year and then a chick got between us and ruined the friendship. So, now I don't have that cope anymore, and I have little to do other than chat with another friend on Telegram sometimes and try to get joint projects going with him, although sometimes I wonder if he'll ever get serious about any of those or just casually play around with different ideas forever in between times when he's drunk.

But, unless I'm gonna kill myself, I gotta find some other project to work on. I'm not gonna just sit around playing vidya; I gotta do something else.

Going to church and studying the Bible is an okay cope if you actually believe that stuff. It can consume all the time and effort that you wanna give it. But I find there comes a point where it just starts to get old, especially when you see that God is not actually blessing you with a bunch of pussy, or even one girl's pussy, but is just telling you, "Keep donating money and preaching this word, while I give all the pussy to the unbelievers to enjoy, who also receive the benefit of your tithes to feed their kids and the women they impregnate."

Christians are called upon to help feed the hungry, which means if you're a responsible man who takes care of his own needs, then your job is to help out those who are irresponsible. Even if a church has a policy of, "We only help out those who are poor through no fault of their own" that still gives plenty of leeway for chicks to get knocked up by some badboy and then turn to Jesus and say to the pastor, "I can't get a job because I have all these kids to take care of, so can you help me out?"

Besides, if people are donating 10% of their incomes to the church, the money has to go somewhere, and where else is it going to go, besides the poor. The church is not going to just hoard that money forever; it will eventually get disbursed. Something else they like to do is pay for teenage girls to go to college, which puts them on a path to either becoming sluts or spinsters, or else just getting an education that mostly goes to waste because they become a housewife.

It's just a bunch of cuckoldry. The chicks in the church are attracted to the pastor and the missionaries, and to badboy unbelievers. If you're just a random dude sitting in a pew not being a church leader or anything, nor a singer or guitarist in a rock music choir, nor going out into the field to preach to hostile audiences, then you're just another beta, and you get screwed over like most other betas these days. You pay a bunch of money and devote your time to the church and the ladies are not impressed.

I left a comment:

This blog has been a reminder of a lot of useful wisdom, e.g. that those who aren't obsessed aren't going to accomplish much. In a world of mediocrity, where people so often lose hope or allow themselves to slack off, we can never hear enough encouragement to keep going and strive for better than what those around us are doing.

The manosphere seems to be folding at this point, as people yield to persecution and move on to religion. I just wonder what it's going to lead to. Are they going to coalesce around any particular religion that isn't cucked? In most cases, I think they're going to end up back in the church that their family attends, whether it be Orthodox (as in Roosh's case), or Catholic (as in one of my friend's cases), or non-denominational (as in my case).

Most of the major churches are cucked at this point. You can tell by going to one and observing the same trend you see in secular society, that they're encouraging teenage girls to go to college rather than start families, even as they give lip service to the idea that a career should come second for women. You can look at the fertility rates of even the Mormons and Catholics and see that they're barely above replacement, and headed downward. If they were really practicing a belief that women should be "discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands", we'd probably see them having more kids. On the other hand, if they're so poor that they can't afford to stay home and have enough kids to keep the family line from dying out, one has to wonder whether their family is really being blessed all that much as a result of their faith.

Even my non-denominational church, which preached a lot about Biblical sex roles, was not really an exception to this. I was there for almost five years, and didn't see a single marriage transpire among the church members during that time. How are they going to get married, when the women in the church hold more impressive jobs (e.g. judge, prosecutor, or director of radiology) than the men? They want a man they can look up to, but these guys were holding lower-status jobs and making less money than they were, so they're not going to be interested in them. And the pastor was contributing to this by giving money to the low-income girls in the church, or helping them obtain scholarships, so they could go to college, thus perpetuating the problem. His point of view was that those girls were devout, though, and deserved help in pursuing their aspirations.

Those girls were able to just sit at a desk and study the Scripture for hours, while men tend to be more restless and want adventure and accomplishments that involve creativity. So, they tended to get on the pastor's bad side for not being studious enough. It was just another manifestation of society's not appreciating masculine characteristics in men.

By the way, turning religious is not going to mean the end of persecution for being antifeminist; that will continue, as it has in Roosh's case, because people find faith-based antifeminism just as offensive as secular antifeminism; if anything, they find it more objectionable because they disagree with the metaphysical ideas on which it's founded. Airbnb is not going to suddenly lift his ban because he's converted, nor will the British government rescind its declaration that he's unwelcome there. Beyond that, what feminists sought to do was deplatform him, which he's helped them accomplish by unpublishing his own works. And we're seeing a similar pattern play out here.
