Satan? More like daddy’s girl. I’ve seen this kind of attitude way too many times before in girls who’ve never had practical survival problems, but emotional survival problems. He’s overly coddled, but conditionally, and lives a lie because he knows no other way to live.

It’s cropping up in males because in many ways, they’re as sheltered as girls whose parents had a little money used to be. So what you’ve got is not a sociopath or even a true narcissist, but a guy with borderline personality disorder…drama queen.

I wouldn’t go as far as to downplay his importance. His personal power and will yes, but his importance, no. He is important in the way that he serves as a kind of online spokesmodel for men with similar problems coping with their place in the herd.

As one poster Vulgarian succinctly put it, “Sheep get sheared.” Roissy and his sycophants (not all commenters, but the ones to whom he can do and say no wrong) want to be sheep but not get sheared.

Game, for them, is not a way to return to a more natural male/female relationship dynamic, but rather a way to attempt to overcome nature. This is an absolutely impossible goal, and will lead one to twisted, albeit futile methods to achieve it.

If you point out the aspects of his nature that prevent him from “rising above” his current status in the food chain, you become his enemy for two reasons:

1. His will to power has limits. He is not interested in being great, just having certain benefits of greatness that can’t really be had without being great.

2. You out yourself as an independent thinker (wolf) and the social thinker (sheep) have an instinctive fear and hatred of you. Expressing this hatred is the only way they have of “sticking it to the man” even though they don’t understand that this is why they are doing it. You have the awareness to be a leader/social engineer, and the best they will ever do is successfully navigate the pasture you and people like you lead them to.

Their “shepherds” eat more sheep than “wolves” do, but the wolf is the predator they are not directly dependent on. So wolves will raise alarms, where the shepherd can herd them gently into the slaughterhouse.

Roissy doesn’t want to know how he’s being herded, sheared, and slaughtered. He doesn’t like it when the few people who can notice, do notice that he has the eyes of a sheep…the mind of a slave, and speaks from the victim/slave mentality.

Most people wouldn’t notice that, or would rather focus on arguing with him about silly things that don’t matter. He is a satan to people who would be vulnerable to him. Victims dick size about victimhood. This is one reason I pulled away from many groups in the past. They weren’t dealing with their issues with a master mentality, as well they shouldn’t. They can’t.

I know it’s hard to watch people lining up to drink the poisoned koolaide. I can respect anyone who tries to intervene. However, if you’re going to do it, just be ready for someone to try to grab you and force you to drink it too…or set you up as a scapegoat while they manipulate their audience.

He did the same thing to me, and will do the same thing to others. It sticks in his craw that there are stronger women than him, but what makes it even scarier is that there are stronger people than him in general. His little rants do nothing to change that, and nothing to raise his status.

So let him drone on. It’s what drones do. I understand it’s annoying, but you truly do have better things to do.

My dad took me to task about that on numerous occasions. He told me that the reason I deal with such people boils down to boredom, and that instead of wasting my time on that, I should push it to the side as a sort of a minor hobby, and put more focus on the things I’m doing that really matter in the world.

He was saying basically that I should tend to my own herd(s). An independent thinker is rare, and even more rare is one who actually gives half a damn about humanity without the cognitive dissonance driving them insane or to suicide before the age of 16.

Taking his advice has brought me out of a kind of “us and them” mentality that may have been justified, but not very constructive. I tend to categorize people for the sake of discussing particular issues, but I don’t see myself as apart from humanity. I’m just a particular type of human who is built for a certain function.

Arguing with people like Roissy beyond the point that they’ve revealed their nature is a kind of a trap. It further alienates you by highlighting the ways that you are different and unwelcome. Being unwelcome is perfectly normal, and is in its way a good thing.

I mean, when you think about it, people who think independently are often so because of an actual defect in the brain or bad socialization. Some of them do indeed become predators, or rather cannibals. The worst of these get into a position of power, and then turn to exploiting the people who put them there.

They’re just afraid and trying to protect themselves. As disgusting as it is, you must forgive Roissy his “shrieking schoolboy” response. You are dangerous.

He may be in an ivory tower with servants catering to his every whim, and sycophants singing his praises, but you are free.

Never underestimate the value of freedom. The scent of fresh air is better than the sweetest perfume. Your existence challenges him. You don’t need to say anything to him for him to feel that you are assaulting him in some way. So when you do basically point and laugh at the poor dear behind the tower porthole, prepare for the knights in shining armor to defend their princess.

So I personally prefer that if diplomacy breaks down, leave them to their internal politics.
