Noticed, however, how they villainize the father.
Heck, if Keith's dad wants to pay my way through engineering school, sign me up!

I Spy With My Little Eye
A reason this woman had to marry herself.
Anybody else see what I see?
I'll give you another clue from another woman who married herself.
I laugh thinking how when I was younger I thought I was the one with the problems.

Day 6: Economic Textbooks are the Blueprints for the Perfect Murder
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to be so preoccupied with acting like an intellectual that I have completely forgotten what economics practically means and implies.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to occupy myself with formulating nice theories and drawing fancy graphs that make everything of economy sound so wonderful and even Godly, without considering that all the simplifying assumptions that were made to get to these pretty graphs, are problematic and don’t apply in the real world.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to be a servant of the God of Money through devising theories and graphs that make it seem that the economic system indeed works – without opening my eyes and looking at the world, to see the real consequences of worshiping money as God.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that I have been brainwashed through education and training to the point where I can no longer see past even the fundamental principles of the free market system, but keep on building on it and keep on justifying it with more pictures, tables, theories and graphs.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that the numbers on my piece of paper aren’t just numbers but represent real people, real children, real animals and real plants – lives – that I play around with in my economic models, making them fit the picture as well as I can, as long as the math is right.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to be more concerned about presenting a neat theoretical model that will gain much appraisal from intellectual academic peers than with real-life issues that require attention, investigation and correction.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to only be worried and concerned about my own life and my own destiny, therefore, even if I am born in a country that is poverty-stricken, not spend one moment of my time on seeing how the economy requires to be adjusted in a way that will assist everyone, but instead – focus on gaining the attention and recognitionof economists in the developed world by acting as they do, focusing on the issues that they do and trying to represent the economy in a way that is beautiful and magnificent, while my fellow human beings, even of the country I grew up in, are starving and struggling – because at least, in joining the holy order of economists, I’ll have lifted myself out of that shithole.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise and see how the current economic system creates, allows and justifies murder through poverty and starvation.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that no-one else is going to come to fix the world and that if I have the knowledge and understanding of what the economic system is, then it is my responsibility to question its consequences and implications – and to stand up in exposing it and proposing solutions that will benefit everyone.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that theories are but theories and models are but models, yet that the real world is still out there and that neat pictures and graphs aren’t going to change that – but only make me feel better, make me feel like I have faith – because look at this magnificent system that regulates everything automatically for the apparent betterment of mankind!
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to sacrifice the lives of billions of people every day by accepting the most basic supply and demand curves through completely excluding them from the equation.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that it’s not because the system works in itself, that it works FORLIFE.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that in accepting equilibria and middle roads, it’s simply stating that we’re willing to sacrifice some for the benefit of others – yet, if we place ourselves in the shoes of the ones being sacrificed on the altar of the Almighty God of Free Market – we’d realise it’s not so free after all, because lives have to be paid.
I commit myself to the exposure of the dogmatic beliefs of the value of free market systems and how they in fact allow, create and justify genocide on a global scale.
I commit myself to the exposure of the hypocrisy of economists who have become but servants of God as Money – concerned with nothing but their own status and wealth.
I commit myself to say what needs to be said in order to bring people back with their feet on the muddy ground – where real lives are being lived and real lives are being lost.
I commit myself to stop all compromise through acceptance of middle roads as what is always seen and portrayed to be the perfect solution, hides the evil that perpetuates the suffering in this world.
I commit myself to spreading the basic common sense that equations that do not consider all life equally, are weapons of murder and mass destruction.

The Manosphere
Welcome to The Manosphere!
I'm your lovable host Cappy Cap and I'm here to give you a basic break down and introduction to "The Manosphere" and the blogs that populate it therein.
The Manosphere has no one specific origin, but its manifestation can largely be attributed to the internet making it possible for men to compare notes and realize one thing:
"No, we're not crazy."
Understand, up until the internet, most men, as well as young boys, intuitively knew something was wrong. We had a hunch. But we could never prove it. We were only relegated to our own experiences in our own local neighborhoods which led us to believe that not only was this phenomenon a local affair, but forced us to conclude that if there were any problems we had with dating, courtship, and our general social/sexual interaction with women it had to be our fault. We were to blame. We were not "aggressive enough" "too aggressive" "not sensitive enough" "too sensitive" all the while our single moms and society kept telling us "you're just not looking in the right places" or (my all time favorite) "maybe YOU just attract the wrong type of girl."
Of course, now since the advent of the internet thousands of men have compared notes, shared stories and made various philosophical, political, economic and even scientific observations, resulting in the millions of pages of wisdom that compose The Manosphere today. These millions of pages are slowly coalescing into theories, laws, and rules that make for an entertaining social "science." But most importantly this body of work has provided clarity, guidance and an explanation as to what has happened to society since the feminist revolution of the 70's, making it so that current and future generations of young boys needn't wander through the clueless hellish wilderness their predecessors did. We introduce a (GASP) MALE INFLUENCE into the traditionally "feminist" dominated discussion about how the sexes should interact and behave. We make it perfectly acceptable to voice politically incorrect and unpopular opinions when it comes to the sexes. We provide guidance to young boys, young men, and disillusioned men to turn around and improve their lives. We expose what is an evil and purposed agenda of feminists. We fight for freedom, America, truth, reality and liberty. We essentially supply the modern day male version of "Cosmo," "People Magazine," "Glamor" women have had for 50 years, but we replace the mindless drivel with intelligent, constructive and reality based thought and logic.
In short it is the first real haven for all men across the world to go to, be themselves, and think for themselves. And for modern day feminists it means the jig is up.
There is no core or nucleus to The Manosphere as it is truly open source, nor is there any "mission statement." The blogs that compose that Manosphere range quite widely, including women authors, just as much as they do men (because a lot of women actually do love the men in their lives enough to care about them). However, they all have one thing in common - they are here to help.
Help how?
By destroying and exposing the lies foisted upon you, me and everybody else for the past 50 years - primarily by feminists - about how men and women "should be" instead of accepting how we actually are.
Naturally, there's a lot of backlash and controversy surrounding The Manosphere. People politically invested in trying to get men and women to ignore their basic sexuality, desires and impulses hate us because we threaten their gravy train (what job would feminists have if women were actually programmed to like and support men?). Young women who benefit financially and socially by manipulating relationships, marriage and courting, merely to extract billions of dollars in free drinks or trillions of dollars in divorce courts every year. Entire government agencies (their employees and union members of which depend HEAVILY upon having a government check replace fathers and husbands) hate us as well. The legal system is also not fond of us and our bachelor-like non-marrying ways. Socialists and communist despise us as we insist on independence, freedom and small government. And (frankly) millions of men and women whose fragile feelings we shatter every day with reality also hate us.
But that's just the thing. Reality.
The Manosphere, if anything else, is a backlash of men who just plain got sick and tired of being lied to about how society "should work," how we "should" behave, and what we "should" want. It is also a backlash of being lied to about the realities of the psycho-socio-sexual dynamics between men and women (for example we are shamed if we don't like fat chicks no matter how viscerally and biologically we are disgusted by them). It is also a backlash as we see America, Western Civilization and our culture not just being mocked, ridiculed and villainized, but being destroyed.
And now, in true traditional male form, daddy's coming home and he's pissed. A lot of men in The Manosphere worked hard with nothing to show for it. They did all the right things, but they're still divorced, unemployed, underemployed, in debt, living in or near poverty and thus have nothing left to lose. As they look for an explanation they'll find it, they will take "The Red Pill" (a vernacular you will see commonly), and they will respond by voicing their opinions in The Manosphere with little to no regard for political, economic or employment consequences because, once again, they have nothing left to lose.
Therefore as you explore and read through The Manosphere you will see a lot of anger, crass language, cursing, and vulgarity. You will also see a heavy-handed truth being laid down. Uncomfortable truths. Politically incorrect truths. And truths that make people angry. However, The Manosphere doesn't care about your feelings, your political motivations, your ulterior motives or maintaining a status quo. We are just concerned about one thing:
Truth.
The truth, or as I like to call it "The Reality Principle," is very simple - if people base their decisions in reality, it will prove much more beneficial for everyone in that our decisions will be effective. A classic example is a re-visitation of the fat girl. However, first please dispense your natural reaction to call me evil, mean or shallow for talking about "fat chicks." Ask yourself what is the reality of the situation.
The reality is men don't like fat chicks.
What's the REALITY-BASED solution?
Hound and shame men for decades about them being shallow cads for liking skinny chicks in the hopes you change their genetic programming that has been developing for millions of years?
Or
Just lose the freaking weight?
Also ask yourself what is the outcome to the reality-based solution of the woman losing weight vs. the hounding-shaming option? The reality-based solution is two people who are happier. The non-reality based one is no one being happy.
Whatever the example, The Manosphere's obsession with truth is not to "gain an upper hand" over women in the battle of the sexes. Nor is it for some ulterior political motive. And no, it really isn't to insult or hurt people. It is merely to make the best decisions possible by basing them in the real world to make EVERYBODY (women too) happy.
Now I could go on as there are many other facets to The Manosphere, but I believe the above in general covers what The Manosphere is about (and certainly up for debate by other members of The Manosphere). However, in addition to an introduction to The Manosphere permit me to provide you a bit of a guide or a map to The Manosphere, highlighting various categories and members (please submit any you suggest, also understand I have merely categorized these blogs, not vetted them).
Female Manosphere Bloggers
Yes, we have them! I started with them to immediately dismiss the 100%-guaranteed-accusation that The Manosphere is sexist or misogynist. Though the term is MANosphere, understand there are a lot of women who didn't drink the feminist kool aid and actually LIKE MEN! They have husbands, brothers, fathers, sons, uncles and nephews, and heck, some of them just have male friends they all love and care about. They also realize that men account for half the population AND they also like to engage and enjoy the company of men. Be it romantically, socially or through their families.
They also never swallowed whole the BS that a traditional "woman's role" was somehow shameful or to be looked down upon. They are happy and proud to be stay at home mothers. They are happy to be housewives. And even though some of them aren't married or stay at home moms and are more career gals, they never ONCE would look down upon women nor belittled the importance of a stable, nuclear family to children and society.

Shining Pearls of Something
Divorce/Marriage/Religious Bloggers
From here The Manosphere dissects into different subsegments or "specialties." Perhaps most notable is the Divorce/Marriage/Religious Group. They are not just a support group for divorced men or men going through legal troubles in terms of custody, alimony or child support, but also an advice group for married people with a twinge of religion added in there.

Then there are generalist sites that provide readers with advice on everyday things and all that is being manly. Working out, health, diet dating. Everything that is being a man.
Allow me to introduce:

Freedom 25

Economics and Political Philosophy
Part of being a man means you're independent. That becomes harder and harder when feminists, communists and socialists brainwash the little kinder into voting for more and more government involvement into our personal lives. Additionally, as you'll find out, "feminism" really isn't about helping women as much as it is a Trojan horse for communism. Thus since freedom, wealth, profit, excellence and economic progress are not just key to a true man's ideology, but also under assault, the Manosphere has a subsegment on economics and political philosophy

and of course me, Cappy Cap
PUA/Gaming Community
If there was a core or a kernel to The Manosphere, it got its origins from the "Pick Up Artist" or "Gaming" Community. These blogs arose from the painfully obvious fact that what we were told women wanted (by women, single moms, and female friends) were just outright lies. Naturally, doing what we were told didn't work and so developed a completely new and revolutionary approach - we experimented doing the complete opposite and it worked. There is much more to it than that, and the science has refined itself, but the "gaming" section of The Manosphere is MANDATORY READING for all boys who either had no father, had an emasculated man as a father or had a single mom bring up up telling you girls liked "sensitive men" and "poetry" and other communist propagandist drivel like that.
Allow me to introduce:

A warning to all of you who read the above links. These are MANosphere blogs. There will be cursing, crass and lewd words used. It's locker room talk. If you're shocked by that and feel the need to "NARC" on them and get these people in trouble with their employers, then ask yourself the questions:
1. Is it your right to force your perception of what's "appropriate" on men?
2. How pathetic of a person are you that you have to go and tattle tale on them?
MGTOW
Another interesting segment is MGTOW or "Men Going Their Own Way." These guys have checked out. They're gone. You won't see them, they've gone ghost. Some would call them bitter, however, their numbers suggest this is more than a group of guys who had enough, grabbed their toys and went home. Additionally, their philosophy is not one of "I'm taking my toys and going home." It's one of "I'm finite, I'm going to die, and I'm not going to be in a miserable marriage with kids I can't afford and the daily fear of getting divorced. I'm hopping on my motorcycle, climbing mountains, going fishing, starting a business and living a full and unique life before I die."

Finally I would also recommend reading RooshV's essay on The Manosphere as well as The Misandry Bubble as, like here, they also try to provide a top down view of The Manosphere. Also for a woman's perspective (who is protective of her son) you may want to consult this.
Hopefully, for those of you unfamiliar with or conducting research about The Manosphere this little post and directory provides you the basics as well as a good overview. Again, this is just my humble corner and take on it, and opinions will vary, but hopefully this will prove to be a good launching point for your introduction and exploration of The Manosphere.

Day 5: Freedom of Choice?
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created and allowed a system where Freedom of Choice is treated as if it's the Holy Spirit that must be preserved and respected no matter what
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have made Freedom of Choice one of the Commandments of the religion of Economics
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not promote and provide policies which are Best for all Life as this would impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice to Abuse
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not create and promote policies which clearly describe what is acceptable and what is not within the consideration of what is Best for allLife as this would impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice which I have placed above the value of Life
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to stay away from educating people and clearly writing out policies which define what is acceptable and what is not as I believe that the education process will take too long and not be direct within policies as to not impinge on people’s Freedom of Choice
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to instead of clearly stipulating what would be the best course of action to take within the Best interest of All – to write out policies and implement rules and regulations which provide “incentive” for people to act the way I want them to act – steering them into the direction and choice that I want them to make without actually taking their choice away
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to set out policies, rules and regulations in such a way that if people do not choose what I want them to choose – then they will suffer
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that within creating this scenario/condition – there is no Freedom of Choice at all
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to for instance promote policies and regulation to address population growth in developing countries in a way that increases the hardship of mother by making things more expensive for them and removing benefits such as days of leave and overall making their life harder if they have (more) children
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that hardship as poverty is the very reason why people have more children in the hope that they will live to see another day and provide for the parents when they no longer can – as there is no system in place which ensures life-long support from Birth till Death
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that this hardship can be put to an end by Giving to all Equally
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to play a game of pulling strings where I try to get the right combination of what strings to pull, how hard and in what direction in order to get the result I want
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have created an intricate and complex system like a tapestry – where I want a particular string to move on the one side of the tapestry and then try to achieve this through pulling lots of strings on the opposite siding—hoping that all the various ripple effects will lead to the desired effect
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not want to give up our current Economic System of Grandeur as we’ve worked so hard and so long to create it and “get it right” that I will do whatever it takes, manipulate the current system and create additional systems on top of the already existent one for the sake of keeping it alive and still getting what I want
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to want to consider any other perspective other than what my system dictates as I’ve already devoted my life to this one and I do not want to go through the trouble of admitting that I as the system was wrong and starting from scratch
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have made it so difficult for myself within the current system that all I can do is pull strings and hope I hit the right one in order to get the desired result
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not consider the consequences and implications for other beings when pulling my strings
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to see the increasing of hardship on people as acceptable but not allowing Free Choice as unacceptable
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fight for the freedom to abuse
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to fight for the freedom to have more and be better than others
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that I am at the same time also fighting for people to be less and having less than others
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to only view Freedom of Choice from the side of being a ‘winner’ -- where I will defend freedom of choice because I want to be a winner and not care at all about whoever is the loser – as long as I can win and have more
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to place myself in the shoes of the losers of the Freedom of Choice Game
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that it is always the winners who make the rulers for the losers
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that this is not Freedom AT ALL
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have been brainwashed into believing that Freedom of Choice is something worth fighting for and that this is what life is all about
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to have been brainwashed into adopting and believing a definition of “freedom” which is so limited in that it only takes into consideration the freedom of making money – which I have translated as being equal to the freedom of living
I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that we were never equal from the start – and that we are thus in fact playing a game where some started to play already being a few steps away from the finish line, where some are already midway, where some are just starting – and where some have already been kicked out of the game before it even started – and within that I forgive myself that I haven’t accepted and allowed myself to see and realise that Freedom of Choice was and has never been real as none have ever been given equal opportunity
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to apparently fight for Freedom of Choice for everyone – while only a few are actually able to access “choice” through Money
I commit myself to the re-evaluation of our current economic system to identify all its flaws and provide alternative solutions so that we may break the chains of misery for over half the population of the world – so that they may actually live
I commit myself to exposing the Lie of Freedom of Choice – as freedom can only be real when all are free which has thus far never been the case
I commit myself to show to those who stand by Freedom of Choice that their very definition of Free Choice implies limitation as the concept of Freedom of Choice is only used to gain advantage over other people – and thus placing them in a disadvantaged position and limiting their freedom for the sake of expanding one’s own
I commit myself to promote rules, policies and regulations according to the principle of what is Best for All and not some policies which indirectly through a system of “ripple effects” and “incentives” ‘hopefully’ give me what I want
I commit myself to expose the lies and deceit behind the concept of Freedom of Choice in terms of how people’s Freedom of Choice gets manipulated to appear as if one has a choice while they don’t
I commit myself to put an end to the game of winners and losers and establish a world where all are Equals
I commit myself to expose the atrocities being committed where points such as “increasing people’s hardship” are deemed as valid economic policy approaches
I commit myself to the designing and creating of policies within the principle of Do to Another as You would Like to be Done unto – as for sure hardship will then not be considered
I commit myself to reject the definition of Freedom in terms of being able to be more and better than others as this implies allowing people to be less and have less
I commit myself to the redefining Freedom within the principle of what is Best for all
I commit myself to the establishment of an Equal Money System where all are supported from Birth till Death as this is the only way real Freedom can exist
God Hates Communists
This will make your day if you're having a bad one. It will also make your day if you're having a good one. It will just plain make your day if you work for a living, love America and freedom, insist only citizens should vote and in general and hate parasites.
Day 4: The Logic of Political Corruption in Africa
For context, see the article by Diana Cammack – “The Logic of African Neopatrimonialism: What Role for Donors?” http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/sv/statsvitenskap/STV4347B/v10/Cammack%202007.pdfI forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to blame African governments for wasting precious resources through friends-politics where their followers are rewarded through favours.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to judge corrupt governments as bad governments and place the bulk of why their countries cannot find their way out of poverty, on corrupt leaders and officials.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that from an African historic and cultural perspective, neopatrimonialism – where a patron takes care of its clients through sharing ‘his’ wealth – is socially accepted, because a leader is expected to use his/her access to resources to support his/her followers.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that African leaders will do anything to remain in power, including using public resources to award favours to significant and influential individuals of the population in order to retain support – because government positions are the easiest way to attain some degree of wealth in those countries, where, if they don’t remain in power, they are very likely to go back to a life of absolute poverty.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that if I were in the same position, where the only way to escape absolute poverty was to buy support from the population in order to remain in power, I would probably do just that.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to expect that simply by implementing Western institutional models in a country that has not walked the same path as the actual Western countries, the attitudes of the African population would simply adjust and that these same governing models would work in the exact same way in Africa.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to delude myself into thinking that African leaders are capable of concerning themselves with the ‘public good’ when they are in a constant state of fear of loss and where the threat of having to go back to a life of poverty inhibits them from seeing past their individual interests.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that corruption and greed are merely an outflow and manifestation of fear of loss and therefore, if I have any form of fear of loss existent within me, I cannot say that I am better than corrupt African officials and I cannot be trusted more with such power than them.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself of expect of African countries that they undergo political reforms to limit the size of the government in order to eradicate or at least limit corruption opportunities, without realising that corruption is the only thing that allows them to maintains a form of social and political stability in those countries – and that to take away this tool of African leaders means to send the country into internal chaos and conflict.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that if I demand of African countries to reduce the size of their government, it will mean that many government-owned enterprises will be privatised and hundreds of thousands of people will lose their job.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that unless everyone has a secure income, corruption will always exist.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise that rich nations are responsible for the state in which African countries are struggling since they, through exploiting them in colonisation and continuing to take advantage of them through the current economic power-relations, have completely incapacitated them, left them with nothing but crumbs with which to make meets end.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realise the hypocrisy and disgrace in demanding lower-developed countries to open up their markets to the world and extensively limit their government intervention – while Western countries protect their vital industries from cheaper competition with vigour.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to demand of African countries that they focus their efforts on exports to increase the country’s wealth and living standards, while obviously, if all lower-developed countries start increasing their exports of primary goods, the price of primary goods will drop on the world market and any increase of income generated from such exports will be insignificant – leaving on the rich nations better off, who can now buy primary goods for a real good price.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to criticise African countries for utilising corrupt methods for personal interests, without making mention of how the United States has continuously used foreign aid as a strategy to influence the international political scene in order to preserve and protect itself – not realising that the successive shifts in emphasis in terms of providing aid from South Asia to Southeast Asia, to Latin America to the Middle East and back to Southeast Asia, to then go toward Africa and the Persian Gulf, the Caribbean and Central America and after that, the Russian Federation, Bosnia, Ukraine, Asia and the Middle East reflect changes in US strategic, political and economic interests, more than changing evaluations of economic need – using the exact same ‘friends politics’ as corrupt officials and leaders do in order to avert conflict and the undermining of power.
I commit myself to expose the unequal power relations in the global economy that condemn billions of people to absolute poverty.
I commit myself to investigating the motives of politicians within corrupt behaviour to see and understand the fundamental problems that perpetuate this behaviour in order to correct these fundamental problems in such a way that allows all to live as equals with equal consideration for all.
I commit myself to stop fear of loss within myself and find practical solutions so that none have to live with fear of loss and fear of death – but can instead share themselves and their world unconditionally.
I commit myself to eradicate poverty through the designing and implementing of an Equal Money System where dignified life is the ultimate value.
