The only democracies that have ever worked were Ancient Greece and The Republic of Venezia, and both of those examples imposed severe limitations on who could vote. (Technically Venezia was a republic, but for the purposes of the example I&#8217;m going to include it; it also shows how thin on the ground successful democracies are.)</p><p>The very best government for European nations and their settlements around the world is Catholic monarchy. The reasons for its superiority are many, but I wish to state for the record that tradition has nothing to do with my opinion on this matter. I do not favour the Catholic monarchial system because it is traditional; I favour it because it is the only good and competent governing outcome for my people. The fact that it is traditional and beautiful is a happy coincidence. But in no way shape or form do I pine for Catholic monarchy because I merely want to see kings wearing fancy vestments.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/uacd_youtube/status/2097757412019097824">On September 9th</a>, King Felipe VI of Spain called together the leaders of the Spanish military for an emergency meeting regarding the Ceuta crisis. The Spanish president and most of his ministers were forbidden to join the meeting, a power that the monarch holds under the Spanish constitution. The King is acting because the politicians are not acting in the interests of the Spanish people. Politicians never act in the interests of the people that they theatrically claim to represent. They act in the interests of whoever owns them, and any politician of note has been bought and sold long before they entered politics. In fact, for many politicians, the fact that they are owned is the very reason the entered into politics in the first place.</p><p>A monarch cannot usually be bought and sold, as a monarch has no need for such pettiness. Many monarchs have been purchased over the centuries, but a far greater number resisted such attacks, and often punished those attempting such grabs for power. </p><p>Monarchs are of the same genetic line as the populace over which they rule. They are indeed their own people. No Catholic monarch in the history of mankind has ever sought to replace his own people with foreigners. However, a smart monarch will recognise if his people are disadvantaged when compared to other nations with whom they are trying to compete. Therefore a credible monarchy will seek to attract the best and brightest of other nations to its own, while always keeping their numbers as a small percentage of the general population. Fertility in a nation is an outcome of female emancipation - the more emancipation then the less fertility. A Catholic family in a Catholic nation is ordered under God, and the power of the husband as the head of the family is not infringed upon. In such a context, birthrates in a Catholic monarchy are usually well above replacement levels. </p><p>As a Catholic, a monarch is answerable not only to his people, but to God. A monarch who does actually believe in God will always try to do the right thing by God, not by outside vested interests. The freemasonic principle of separation of Church and state is forbidden in a Catholic monarchy; the king consults with religious leaders on a regular basis. Freedom of religion and freedom of speech are two further freemasonic abominations that are never allowed in a proper Catholic monarchy.</p><p>A monarchy makes decisions thinking of the long term benefits and costs, not a four year election cycle. While a monarch needs to keep his people content, he is not beholden to Gallop poles and the like. A monarchy consists of a functional and identifiable hierarchy, where every man at every level must respond to his own lord. A man needs to have a lord, a man needs structure. To stand up and be counted when called upon, to show his worth to his lord.</p><p>A Catholic monarchy does not mean a simpler time, it does not imply outdated technology. But whereas democracies must innovate merely for the sake of innovation, a monarchy can be driven by different priorities. It can innovate for reasons related to the betterment of its people, rather than the betterment of shareholders.</p><p>With the level of discontent today among the peoples of the West, a return of an actual Catholic monarchy would attract the best and the brightest purely as a consequence of its existence. And the rise of an actual Catholic monarch might be the only thing that can pull the Church out of its Vatican II death dive. The pope, when actually a pope, is a monarch, an emperor as it were. Those powers that were responsible for destroying the Catholic monarchies now seek to destroy the seat of St Peter by making the Church a democracy. Catholic monarchies and the Papal State are symbiotic with one another. </p><p>And yes, Catholic monarchies are beautiful. There is nothing wrong with longing for beauty, for what is good and true. We live in an era of ugliness and evil, an era of democracies. It cannot end fast enough.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a reader-supported publication.

In it I said the following:</p><blockquote><p>The real truth here is that our evil overlords greatly desire this intergenerational warfare. While they have created all of the conditions to atomise and destroy our societies, they encourage us to go at each others&#8217; throats instead of stepping back and seeing the diabolical picture of how They have manipulated us and destroyed our heritage and future. The more that we blame other generations for our collective plight, then the more that we weaken each other and make it even worse for future generations.</p></blockquote><p>The left are the primary proponents of demonising past generations, as they always want the young to feel aggrieved so as to be prime revolutionaries so the left can proceed to loot what older generations managed to keep out of their hands. The left create the conditions that make things steadily worse for future generations, and then turn around and blame previous generations for the mess that the left created.</p><p>By the way, when I say the left what I mean is white liberals. And it bears repeating that white liberals are the very worst people in the world.</p><p>Bad things definitely happened during the Boomer generation. No fault divorce, abortion on demand, the list goes on. But the Boomers are not to blame for those atrocities; white liberals are the primary enemy agents. Just as Millennials are not to blame for gay marriage, transgenderism, and child mutilation. That was white liberals once again.</p><p>White liberals want class warfare so they can keep stealing from us, and so that people won&#8217;t notice that the white liberals are the real bad guys that should be sent to re-education camps in Alice Springs. Class warfare is manipulated through envy and the fear of missing out, and what better way to frame that than to blame Boomers for making some money when capitalism was still working sort of properly before white liberals destroyed it. </p><p>Here is <a href="https://voxday.net/2026/09/04/you-cant-hate-boomers-enough/">Theodore Beale hating on Boomers</a> once again. It&#8217;s a constant wall of noise from the guy which he pushes at any opportunity. I wonder why Beale is so intent on drumming up generational envy of this type? Perhaps he has serious daddy issues, but it&#8217;s noteworthy that a man who positions himself firmly on the right is all in bed with the left on the issue of the Boomers. </p><p>You can find shitty people across all generations, the Boomers don&#8217;t have a monopoly on that. And the Boomers aren&#8217;t cutting off their kids&#8217; dicks, dressing them up as girls and posting photos on Instagram so they can virtue signal. And if you look at the voting stats then it&#8217;s the Zoomers and the Millennials who are the primary supporters of leftist governments, a reason why white liberals want to lower the voting age to 16.</p><p>Boomers aren&#8217;t the enemy, white liberals are our real opponents. As the Boomers age and die out, white liberals will be gunning hard to break up their wealth and steal it. The left wing Labor party in Australia has recently introduced legislation that make family trusts almost unviable. Don&#8217;t get sucked into the Boomer hate, because hate and envy are traps that our enemies want us to embrace so we can help them to destroy us.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a white liberal free zone.

In a world enslaved to the materialistic religion called liberalism, children become her greatest oppressors. Not men, not male patriarchal society; not that old chestnut that has been rolled out ad nauseam for the past five or six generations. It is children that oppress women.</p><p>Liberalism is the worship of the self, the elevation of the individual to being the thing of most importance; ye shall be as gods. Liberalism is a zero sum game. There is no room for generosity when the self and self actualisation is the thing of greatest importance. In liberalism, if a woman gives something away then that is something that she has lost that could have been for herself. Nothing causes a woman to lose more of herself than children. She loses her time, she loses sleep, she loses the chance of a career, she loses the opportunity to go out at night with her friends, she loses control of her very body for a time. </p><p>Selfishness is a virtue in the world of liberalism. You can have it all, went the slogan for women. You go girl, when a woman thinks only of herself. Eat, pray, love, but only if you stand to benefit. This is not a world for motherhood. </p><p>Which is why birthrates collapse in liberal societies. This is the primary reason why liberal societies cannot maintain a stable population, let alone grow a population. Because the benefits that liberalism promises women are at complete odds with motherhood. At best you can treat children as an optional lifestyle accessory, as a project that you begrudgingly do until they turn 18 and then you can go back to full time self worship. In this regard, one child is acceptable, perhaps two children at a push. But the norm is for no children at all.</p><p>In a rightly ordered society, motherhood is meant to be transformative. Women are meant to surrender to motherhood, surrender themselves in service and love. Not to lose themselves, but to transcend themselves, to expand themselves, to become more of the true selves that God made them to be. And they do this with the guidance and support of their husbands who are meant to transcend themselves as well, both of them rightly ordered in their marriage before God.</p><p>Accepting this surrender and leaning into it is the path to death and resurrection. Fighting against the surrender leaves only death. Lindsay Clancy acted out this evil paradigm in full colour, fighting for her very self against its biggest threat - her little children. Most women would never go this far, and the resentment and struggle and misalignment stays below the surface. It is culturally acceptable to complain about losing yourself in marriage, losing yourself to a husband. It is not yet acceptable to complain about losing your self to your child. It is not yet acceptable to openly resent your children. The Lindsay Clancy case is a canary in the coal mine that these underground rumblings are coming to the surface.</p><p>Motherhood, (and fatherhood for that matter), does not end when a child turns 18. A father and mother should continue to help, support and guide their adult children as best they are able to without being intrusive. Not make them start out in the world from zero. Not set them up just to fail. But liberalism can make no allowances for such generosity of spirit. The self is all that matters. When selfishness is a virtue then any and all bad behaviour can be excused. </p><p>As the endless number of glittering restaurants are filled with smiley, happy, beautiful couples all enjoying the fine dining and company of others, our society withers on the vine. Surely Satan&#8217;s cup verily overfloweth. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a reader-supported publication.

In the trial itself the defense&#8217;s strategy was temporary insanity as a result of emotional mood swings due to her being pre-menstral, or something like that. They didn&#8217;t win but they came close. If they had managed to win then the resulting precedent that women go temporarily insane when on their rags could well have resulted in a complete upending of the Age of Equality. Perhaps it&#8217;s a shame that they didn&#8217;t win after all.</p><p>The real news is the reaction of white liberal women and their white liberal male simps to the trial. Keep in mind that white liberals are the very worst people in the world. This trial has merely brought that to public attention. White liberals have come out to bat en masse for Lindsay Clancy, and why wouldn&#8217;t they? Their support is perfectly in keeping with their worldview and their ethical system.</p><p>Liberals worship the cult of self. The individual is the most important thing to liberals, and their religious motto is that anything is permissible if it makes you feel good. Under this cloak of egoism and selfishness, they have perpetuated a mass slaughter of unborn children through abortion. As unborn children are not visible for the most part, and the vast majority of people have no idea what goes on atop the abortionist&#8217;s table, they have been able to get away with the greatest numerical human sacrifice in the history of humanity.</p><p>The case of Lindsay Clancy is this same methodology transferred from the unborn to the born. Lindsay Clancy was having bad feelings and emotions therefore she was apparently justified in strangling her three children to death. The cult of the self always worships the self no matter what the circumstances are. As far as white liberals are concerned, Lindsay Clancy did nothing wrong, and the arguments used to defend her actions are the exact same arguments used to defend abortion. </p><p>Although the only technical difference between murdering three children in the womb and murdering them after they were born is the fact that in this case Lindsay Clancy had to strangle her children herself instead of getting an abortionist to do it for her, there is a world of difference between the two examples in the court of public opinion. It&#8217;s very easy to hide your head in the sand when it comes to abortion, but when it comes to strangling three children in cold blood then people are inevitably forced to sit up, pay attention and take a side.</p><p>The behaviour of white liberals in the Lindsay Clancy case has merely exposed them for what they really are. The Lindsay Clancy case didn&#8217;t cause white liberals to suddenly become fervent supporters of murder and human sacrifice; they were already that to begin with. This case is not an indictment of women. It is, however, a very public indictment of white liberals and liberalism, because this is where the madness of liberalism ends up - in murder and human sacrifice and the collapse of once civilised societies. These people are animals and demons, and they are not fit to be a part of our societies, and they have jettisoned their cloak of nice without a hint of self-awareness during this entire debacle of a trial. They have no idea what they have done.</p><p>They have exposed themselves for what they really are. For that I believe that these circumstances were ordained by God for our collective benefit. He can make good rise from an act of evil. Those children are in heaven with Him, but because of their sacrifice, the world now has a much clearer understanding of the cult of evil that is liberalism. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer would put all white liberals up against a wall if he were made supreme leader.

I tried a bunch of times but no dice. The first half of the book was engaging, but then it began to devolve into abject lunacy, and I&#8217;ve never been good with abject lunacy, ask some of my ex-girlfriends. Basic and decent lunacy I can contend with, which is why I read <em>Dune</em> at least once a year. <em>Dune</em> is a very silly book, but it is beautiful, and it makes me dream dreams of wonder, and it goes well with a pipe stuffed to the brim with some unadulterated burley. </p><p>My favourite book of all time is <em>Lucky Jim</em>. Amis should have stopped writing after he published that masterpiece, but he kept at it and never again found that same hilarious magic. <em>Lucky Jim</em> is also the funniest book of all time. It is chock full of that dry English humour that hits you across the face in a good way, not in a bad way like if it was a hardcore obese lesbian or something equally horrible. I don&#8217;t care if any of you go and read <em>Lucky Jim</em>. I&#8217;m just saying that it is my favourite book.</p><p>I don&#8217;t read books by women because I am not a masochist. Also, I am a manly man who likes doing manly things, and reading some chick go on and on about her feelings badly disguised as fiction is not my cup of tea, old chap. Literature is now entirely feminised. The publishing industry is chock full to the brim with sterile women and flamboyant faggots. Not even just ordinary quiet faggots who get on with their faggotry in private; no, publishing has to put up with the flamboyant bum botherers. To get published you need to appeal to these types of people, which means you have to lower yourself to their non standards. <em>Lucky Jim</em> would not be published today. </p><p>So I don&#8217;t read books by women or fags which means I don&#8217;t read new books. Which is not a problem as I have many books in my library, and some I still haven&#8217;t got around to reading yet. Probably due to all of those times that I read <em>Dune</em>. I have the sequels to Dune but I haven&#8217;t read them. I got halfway through the first sequel but then I stopped reading as I realised that I was beginning to lose the will to live. Frank Herbert is another writer who should have just hung up his pitchfork and left it at that.</p><p>There are a few authors to whom I return again and again; John Le Carr&#233;, Patrick O&#8217;Brian, those sort of guys. The American writer and poet Wendell Berry died this week, and I had never heard of him. So I&#8217;ve ordered a couple of his books and we&#8217;ll see how we go. Judging by the reactions to his death I think he might be worth the time.</p><p>An old friend gave me all of Cormac McCarthy&#8217;s books as a gift many years ago. Mr McCarthy seems like a guy that you wouldn&#8217;t want to hang out and shoot the shit with, as you&#8217;d either shoot him, shoot yourself, or shoot both of you together. People tell me that he&#8217;s great but I have a hard time understanding what&#8217;s so great about a guy whose face has never seen the shadow of a smile. In any case, his books sit on my shelf gathering dust.</p><p>Since I returned to Catholicism I have thrown away a number of books that I realised were not only incompatible with my faith, but were also potentially detrimental to it. All of the new agey type books that had followed me around the world since my early twenties went straight into the bin. I also had a very expensive limited edition photo album by Jimmy Page, but it had photos of places where black magic rituals were performed so I thought it best to ditch it. I should probably do the same with the albums but I haven&#8217;t been able to bring myself to do that yet.</p><p>Living in Italy, the thing that I miss most of all is browsing in bookshops. I could read books in Italian but I just don&#8217;t want to. I used to travel to London every now and then for my bookshop fix, but since it has turned into Londanistan that avenue has sadly been closed to me.

Nothing has occurred to warrant what is about to happen, he merely wants to make a demonstration of his own personal power as a black migrant. He calls a number and speaks softly for a minute and then he puts away the phone. Within fifteen minutes of the call, three Italian social workers arrive on the scene. It is obvious that they are in some distress. They are all women. The African informs them of the terrible act of racism that he has suffered, but unfortunately the perpetrator of this evil act has fled in the direction of the train station. The police are called, and they too arrive not long after. A description of the vile racist is released and circulated. Counselling is offered to soothe the feelings of the victim of the travesty. The social workers assure him that his rights will be protected.</p><p>This story was told to me over the weekend. I cannot speak for its veracity, but I believe that it is certainly possible. We are all more than familiar with the complete lunacy surrounding potential acts of racism, even if I am unaware that being a racist is technically illegal.</p><p>Yet up until recently I believed that our enemies were the immigrants, people such as the anonymous African in this example. But I no longer believe that to be the case. Yes, the majority of these types of immigrants need to go back to where they came from, that reality is indisputable to any honest appraisal of the situation as it stands. But they are not our enemies. Our real enemies, the clear and present danger which threatens us from every side, are inside the gates of our nations. They come from our own ranks and they are of our own blood.</p><p>They are white liberals, the very worst people in the world. Even if we stopped all immigration tomorrow and sent back every incompatible immigrant who has blighted the shores of our nations these past decades, nothing would change as regards to the danger within our walls. White liberals would find another vehicle to achieve their goal of destroying their own nations. Liberals uphold and worship the self over everything else. They are their own gods, and thus their evil has no limits. They identify virtue with doing what they believe is best for themselves. They cannot be reasoned with, and they want each and every one of us who opposes them dead. </p><p>Liberalism is a form of materialist religions of which there are three in total; communism, fascism and liberalism, as detailed in <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-172020794">this excellent article by Copernican</a>. Liberalism is by far the most damaging as it hides its true intent and thus lasts far longer, whereas fascism and communism burn out faster. Most importantly, both fascism and communism are also systems of government. Liberalism, being entirely devoted to the self, is not, however. Thus liberalism requires a vehicle on which to attach itself as the parasite that it is.</p><p>That vehicle is democracy. Democracy not only enables liberalism, it promotes and elevates it. Only a democratic system with strict controls on who can vote and who can represent the people is able to resist the inevitable encroachment of liberalism. Examples of such democratic systems are the Republic of Venice and the ancient Greek States. But without such restrictions then the system is exploited and gamed by those who believe that they know better than God.</p><p>However, after over two hundred years of liberalism, we are getting close to the end of the democratic system. In fact, our democracies are already dead - they were shot in the head during the Covid debacle. What remains are dead men walking, rotted and zombified husks still tottering on as their legs begin to buckle and fail. The great danger is when it really begins to collapse, as the white liberals who are the primary cause for the collapse will desperately seek to claim power in another manner while simultaneously attempting to make sure that their enemies do not realise what is going on and claim power for themselves.</p><p>Their greatest enemies are those that follow Christ. They recoil from Christianity as do vampires. This meme brilliantly sums up that truth.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg" width="360" height="360" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:360,&quot;width&quot;:360,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:26374,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/i/213510062?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!z0yz!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6b8ea54b-f969-4872-9925-a28d4da8b32e_360x360.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The question that stands out now is this: when the democracies begin to collapse, will Christians step up, defeat our enemies and take back control? The ball is in our court. How we do it is up to us. But as <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-213578201">Fr. Nix expresses beautifully in this article</a>, God wants to defeat our enemies for us. To do that he wants us to praise Him and to express gratitude to Him for all that He has done for us and for His certain greatness. We must turn back to Him, praise Him, thank Him, and show others to do the same by our own example. God has given us this tribulation in order to test our faith.

The heat has been steady and pleasant, broken on occasion by crashing storms with thunderheads reaching miles into the sky, only for the heat to return in even greater intensity as the steam from the rain was sucked back up into the sky. I live at 1,200 meters, but even at that altitude there have been some nights where I have flung off the covers and lain spreadeagled on the crumpled white sheets with the window opened wide onto an Alpine night sky.</p><p>My vegetable garden is groaning under the weight of produce, and I have had to learn new skills just to keep up with the unexpected bounty. Today I canned cucumbers for the first time in my life. The jars are sitting on the kitchen counter and coming to room temperature, and every now and then there is a pop as a lid settles correctly. Other things I have made are red current jam, and canned asparagus. I have a serious amount of potatoes, red onions, cabbage and leek waiting for me to dig them out of the ground.</p><p>In other parts of the world wealth is communicated by having a large house, an expensive car or a flashy boat; sometimes all three. In Italy, wealth is being able to saunter into the centre of town at one o&#8217;clock on a Friday afternoon, park yourself on a terrace chair in the main piazza and begin ordering glasses of wine. Which is what I did yesterday. The owner of the wine bar is in his mid-thirties and thinks very highly of himself. He is somewhat of a control freak, and he hounds his customers into experiencing his establishment along his own rigid guidelines.</p><p>He and I have settled into a uneasy truce based upon an unspoken agreement. He will not attempt to cajole or coerce me in any way, and I will not step in and assist any English speaking customers and rob him of the satisfaction of pretending to not notice when they need his attention. He is guilty of under filling if you order a single glass of wine, so I usually order either a bottle of beer or an entire bottle of wine if there is someone else with which to share it. Then I settle back and watch the small crowd flowing back and forth across the glaring white pavement of the piazza, while trying to ignore the urgent beeps coming from my phone.</p><p>The village where I love has been busy with the Italian summer tourist hordes fleeing from the terrible high temperatures of the lowland cities. Driving at this time of a year is a lesson in frustration, as the visitors do not know how to negotiate mountain bends at a reasonable speed, but will then attempt to compensate for their awfulness by speeding up on the straights, thus making it next to impossible to safely overtake them.</p><p>The solution has been to stay at home as much as possible. Italy closes down for two or three weeks over the summer, so this is a not unachievable objective. I have entertained a couple of times, with barbeque in particular attracting almost forty guests. This was quite a lot of work, but I had many enthusiastic and skilled helpers; at least, they were enthusiastic until the two kegs of beer ran dry.</p><p>August is almost at an end and it is still hot. But in a little time the schools will open again and the high mountain plain where I live will revert to its usual state of benign sleepiness. I have been busy chopping firewood for the coming cold, something which I am beginning to look forward to; the cozy fire, a stew of something on the wood stove, a bottle of red and my girl stretched out on the couch beside me. But what a wonderful summer it has been. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a reader-supported publication.

I&#8217;m not some agnostic sitting in the middle either. I just no longer buy into the democratic game because it is a trap. To play is to lose. If you accept their terms of their democracy then you must by default surrender any hold that you might have had on any other, perhaps more valid, form of government.</p><p>Democracy exists to grow capitalism, and in many of our nations we are closing in on the end game of capitalism. The end game will be one company that owns everything. In democracy, all that matters is GDP, even though GDP itself is fake and gay. But that doesn&#8217;t matter; as long as it looks like GDP is growing then all is good in democracy.</p><p>One of the main reasons that our political leaders are so intent at bringing in hordes of incompatible immigrants is to prop up their GDP. The numbers are fudged, it&#8217;s all a lie, but people haven&#8217;t been telling the truth for a very long time. In capitalism people cease to be citizens and instead become units of production. Units of production are interchangeable, so if one nation has an oversupply of such units then the rational thing is to move them to another nation which has an undersupply. </p><p>Our own nations have a chronic undersupply because there has been an overt war against the family for six generations in one form or another, with the end result being that people are having far less children. Our political leaders created the problem and now they have the solution which is to simply bring in more units of production, slap a citizenship paper on them, and then demonise and attack anyone objecting to this social and cultural betrayal. </p><p>This is democracy. It was sold as you having a political voice, but in reality it is about you being replaced. So if you participate in it then your descendants, if you manage to have any, will eventually be doomed. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re right wing. And what is right wing today anyway? It is simply leftism of perhaps 30 years ago depending on how far along the scale you are. </p><p>The only form of government that works for our civilization is Catholic Monarchy, which is why the proponents of democracy spend 500 years trying to destroy all such monarchies in the world, culminating in the Great War. The Second World War was simply to work out who would emerge the clear victor and enjoy the spoils. The winner of that game was not the United States, although it may have seemed that way at the time. Rather, it was the United Nations and its NGO offshoots. That is who runs most of the world today.</p><p>In a Catholic monarchy I would not have any political voice, and I would be perfectly content with that reality. I would have my place in the social hierarchy, a place where God had inserted me, and I would like to think that I would do my very best to live up to my responsibilities and serve my feudal lord to the best of my ability. I think such a reality, living in a community connected by faith and by birth, seems like a perfect paradise to many of us today. In a Catholic monarchy, faith is integral to its existence. The people are bound together by faith and blood. </p><p>There is no faith in a democratic system, nor is there in capitalism, as there is no place for it. But we are not only made up of the body, we are also made up of the soul. Yet open any online newspaper today from your country of origin and it will be full of stories about politics, the economy, medical health, and sports. All things that interest a society entirely focussed on the body, on material things and on attempting to live as long as possible no matter how miserable the existence.</p><p>There will be nothing concerning the soul. The soul has no place in such a system because the system itself is soulless. Once again, to play the democratic game is to lose even if you might win a battle here and there. Trump didn&#8217;t save us, nor will Pauline Hanson if elected in Australia, and nor will Rupert Lowe in Great Britain. </p><p>I have seen Catholic monarchists mocked as autists. I think the real autists are those who still actually believe that democracy works in any way to our advantage. Democracy in the West has a 500 year history of failure. Of rights being steadily stripped from native populations while the power of government and its institutions grows and grows, while they offload any undesirable controls to corporations and then blithely mouth that the free market is deciding things, nothing to do with them. We are slaves in a technocracy being lied to that we are free. </p><p>This confusion regarding democracy traps many well meaning Catholics into rejecting nationalism, <a href="https://substack.com/@theaussiepapist/p-197914480">such as this example here</a> from a writer referring to himself as the Aussie Papist. Catholic social teaching is meant for a Catholic monarchy, not a godless democracy. Nationalism is not compatible with Catholicism, not for the tortured arguments that he attempts to weave into a coherent whole, but simply because democracies are godless. But in a Catholic monarchy, the nation is truly under God. </p><p>So pray for a restoration of our birthrights. Pray for the return of our precious and beloved Catholic monarchies. May the godless reign of democracy enjoy a quick and sudden end.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer idoffs his hat to his local lord.

The Kingdom of heaven is a monarchy, and Christ is our king. In Catholicism, the family unit is ordered with Christ above the husband, the wife below her husband, and the children below all three. In other words, a rightly ordered family is also a kingdom. </p><p>Hell is a democracy, as all are equal in hell and they all have the same say in things. A democratic family unit is a small snippet of hell. When modernists began breaking down society they aimed at the family, and their weapon of choice has been to introduce democracy into the family unit. </p><p>An example of this is family therapy in any form. Therapy of this kind is designed to take authority away from the husband and father, while still leaving him with the responsibility. The removal of the man&#8217;s authority coupled with the retention of responsibility is ubiquitous to all modernist strategies concerning the breakdown of the family unit. </p><p>Some societies are more deeply lost in this reality than others. The worst that I have experienced is the United States. Americans are now so ensnared in the evils of feminism and homosexualism that basic concepts of male authority that would have been taken for granted by everyone concerned less than sixty years ago, are now looked upon with cries of horror at the dreaded misogyny on offer. </p><p>American women in general are completely confused by the Christian value of a wife submitting to her husband. Even women claiming to be traditional Christians have a very hard time with it, <a href="https://ladydrummond.substack.com/p/how-does-a-wife-respect-a-husband">as this example shows</a> of a woman asking her readers for help in trying to understand why it is that she can&#8217;t understand how she could respect a husband. </p><blockquote><p>&#8230; but I have noticed one key way in which feminism impacted me: I do not know how to respect a husband. Respecting a man in the context of marriage is a concept that confuses me. It is a behavior I can&#8217;t describe, and I imagine this confusion is similar to a man trying to figure out how to communicate with a woman without accidentally hurting her feelings.</p></blockquote><p>This is how far the modernist rot has set in. People are now so brainwashed that even when they pull themselves out of the clutches of feminism like this woman, they simply find themselves left with no ways to cope. If not feminism then &#8230; nothing? Feminism is their only reality. It is their litmus point. They know they have to jettison it but their brains remain infected. So much so that even when they are introduced to correct concepts, such as a wife respecting her husband, they cannot equate the concept with reality. It is something so foreign to them that it cannot be ordered in their minds. You may as well try telling them that the sky is green and the grass is blue. </p><p>This is the real damage of modernism. After a few generations, people only know this reality, and undoing it is difficult even for those who are desperately attempting to do so. So with that in mind, allow me to assist. How do you respect your husband, ladies?</p><p>Well, first of all you need to know why a man wants and needs to be respected. In a marriage, a wife wants to be loved while a husband wants to be respected. That is the comparison example for you ladies. So let&#8217;s switch it around to make a point. Girls, why do you need and want to be loved in a marriage?</p><p>Perhaps your assumptions are that you being loved by your husband is something automatic, something that you take for granted. Why, of course he loves me. He has to love me. Yes, but why does he have to love you? And now take it another step - imagine that men have been brainwashed into believing that loving their wives is bad for them and demeaning, and are now asking the same question; okay, I want to love my wife, but how exactly am I supposed to love her?</p><p>The answer to how a man is supposed to love his wife is that he is simply supposed to love his wife. Because he likes her. Because he wants to. Because it fills him up. Because the more that he loves her then the lovelier she becomes as she feeds off his love for her. Because she deserves it. Because it makes her feel warm, and at peace, and safe in his arms. Because love makes all of her sacrifices worthwhile. And finally, because love brings her closer to God, because God is love.</p><p>Well, respect is for men what love is for women. We want the same thing. A woman is supposed to respect her husband because that is what she is supposed to do. Because she likes him. Because she wants to. Because it fills her up. Because the more that she respects him then the stronger and more secure he becomes as he feeds off her respect for him. Because he deserves it. Because it makes him feel centred, and better able to succeed in his role as a man, as a provider, as a protector, as a teacher. Because her open and devoted respect for him makes all of his sacrifices worthwhile. And finally, because respect brings him closer to God as her devotion helps him to guide his family in a godly manner.</p><p>That is what has been stolen from men. From the past four or five decades of society openly telling women that respecting their husbands is a net negative for them. And in spite of this open hate to such a basic good for a man, men have held fast in the face of this onslaught. Consider that over 70% of divorces are instigated by women. It&#8217;s appalling.</p><p>In the quoted article, the writer uses the example that she can easily respect men outside her family home, such as when she was in the military. Well, the military is a hierarchy, a clearly established one. So the reason for giving respect is clear. This is the clue as to how to have respect in a marriage.</p><p>You must have a well ordered marriage. It must be a marriage founded in Christ, and ordered with the divine hierarchy of Christ - Husband - Wife - Children. With the hierarchy clear then respect is a natural part of such an order. Our enemies attacked the family unit for a very good reasons, and now women don&#8217;t even know how to respect their men. But the fact that women are even asking the question is good news. So keep trying, ladies. We love you for it. </p><p>Sometimes respecting your husband or loving your wife in a certain moment is hard, perhaps even very difficult. But that is the sacrifice that we freely offer up. That is what makes marriage sacrosanct. Understanding that the marriage is greater than us, that we are simply a sum of its parts. When holding that awareness, how can a man not love his wife, and how can a woman not respect her husband? It is quite simply the natural order of things. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a respect-supported publication.

We think of Leftism as nowise sexual. But, what if Leftism is at bottom feminist (along any dimension of feminism, of which I admit there are many)? I.e., what if Leftism supervenes a feminist analysis of the human condition?</p></blockquote><p>The question surprised me as I have long associated leftism with being feminist. We live in a feminised world. The modern world itself is feminised. It is emotionally reactive and loath to assume responsibility for its actions. Homosexuality is simply feminised men, or men who deny their masculinity, instead dwelling in emotion and feelings. There is nothing crueler than the female when it is out of control. </p><p>One of the most important traits to look for in a woman today is personal restraint. A woman who has been brought up and taught to control her wild emotional mood swings is sadly now a rare bird. But since women now collectively hold a great number of the cards, and combined with the fact that our feminised society is loath to hold them accountable for their actions, personal restraint on the part of women is one of the critical factors that determine whether or not she is capable of remaining sane.</p><p><a href="https://blog.reaction.la/">Jim</a> is on the record for some time that white liberals are the very worst people in the world and are our primary enemy. They are the enemy inside the gates. Without them our external enemies, (those who are not of our nations), would have great difficulty in gaining a foothold. One of their worst characteristics is that they do not believe that they are at fault; in other words, they do not understand that they are the enemy inside the gates. They do not know that they are traitors. They sincerely believe that they are genuinely good people, and tragically their perceived goodness entirely relies on their continual external actions to prove this goodness. </p><p>In other words, they are akin to a shark - they cannot stop swimming or they die. </p><p>White liberal women and white liberal men have differing motivations for their treacherous behaviour. White liberal men desperately want to get laid with the white liberal women, which is itself a feminised behaviour pattern. In order to ingratiate themselves they up the woke ante at every opportunity in an effort to display their sexual worthiness to the cause. They are willing to betray and destroy their native lands for a potential blowjob.</p><p>White liberal women are disgusted and repulsed by the white liberal men. But this repulsiveness notwithstanding, they still get off on the attention and will put up with their male hangers-on while they attempt to outdo one another for the cause. The cause is women at all costs, even if one of the main costs is the fate of their nations, (the number one main cost is the fate of their mortal souls). Thus they have embraced the cause of men dressing up as women so that women can take credit for any achievements of the men in skirts and lipstick. Women are completely incapable of succeeding in men&#8217;s roles and that is now becoming obvious even to the most obtuse, so men pretending to be women is one of their last desperate acts.</p><p>Democracy itself is feminised. It is designed that way. Everyone getting their say through a vote, no matter how unworthy they are of wielding that vote, is the feminine mindset. If not everyone can participate then nobody should participate as it isn&#8217;t fair. Equality is the female, even though women are brutal taskmasters at excluding their own based on any threats to their own standing in the pecking order. </p><p>A democratic society is always under threat to the feminine mindset even if a nation is briefly enjoying a respite through a strong male leader. Any rollbacks of leftism due to such a leader will immediately be reinstated and even amplified once he is gone. Spain is the best example of this, the only Western nation to truly resist the woke onslaught through the efforts of Franco. As soon as Franco died, democracy immediately stepped in and undid all of his gains and protections. Spain is now one of the wokest countries in the world.</p><p>The only form of government that works for Western nations is a hereditary Catholic monarchy, which is why each and every one of those monarchies was actively destroyed in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. One of the last emperors of the Austria-Hungarian Empire, when asked how such a monarchy could still be relevant in the 20th century, replied that he existed to protect his people from politicians.</p><p>In the intervening century we can look back at how our politicians have betrayed us at every opportunity to the extent of replacing us with foreigners just to keep a phony GDP balance sheet looking good, and perhaps we might well yearn for a monarch of our own blood and history who could have protected us. Our politicians answer to nobody because there are never any consequences for their actions, another example of the feminisation of society and the inherent female nature of democracy. They keep their ill gotten gains and pensions no matter their actions.</p><p>We have been brainwashed through false history to believe that monarchies and feudalism were institutions of keeping people as slaves while a few at the top lorded over everyone, but the reality was far different. English peasants worked their own land through the value of the commons. That land was subsequently stolen and fenced in, handed over to landed gentry in league with politicians once democratic rule gained power in England. </p><p>A Catholic monarchy is inherently masculine. A monarch answers to Almighty God and he believes in God. A monarchy is a hierarchy just like heaven. Each strata of society answers to that above it, but the responsibility flows in both directions, for a monarch must also answer to his lords below him through his responsibilities to them. As they must do the same and so it goes.</p><p>A family unit under God acts in the same way. The hierarchy is Christ - Father - Mother - Children. The father makes decisions for the good of his family while consulting with his wife and asking Christ for assistance, but the father ultimately must make the decision and take responsibility for it. This is patriarchy.</p><p>Our nations would never have been given away to hordes of foreigners under patriarchy.</p><p>In conclusion, white liberals are the very worst people in the world and they are our primary enemies. There is no reasoning with them, they simply must be defeated. And most importantly of all, they must not be given any chance to rise again and have another go at it. Democracy is the vehicle that allows them to keep coming back, like cutting the head from a hydra. Do the math.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a reader-supported publication.

The purpose of that mob was to make sure that any other lies of the type personified by Arday are not exposed. This was a warning to all other journalists and potential whistleblowers in academia; pull a stunt like Cofnas did and you will be in fear of your life. Because if you think that Arday was the only example of his type trotting around the university halls then I have a bridge to sell you. </p><p>There are a great many Ardays in academia, but they are not all black. Plenty of them are middle aged cat ladies, like the type that we saw sucking up to Arday in that video that has been doing the rounds. Arday was an imposter, but so is that woman. She has no business being in academia because she is not interested in higher learning. Rather, what drives people like her is the communist manifesto. Their aim?</p><p>To destroy academia from within, while indoctrinating the supple minds of the young within their grasp, and ruthlessly rooting out those youth who manage to resist the organised brainwashing. The university system is awash with these types, but what they cannot stand is a light being shone on what they are up to.</p><p>Cofnas, by exposing Arday, shone a very bright light indeed on their machinations. And now they are furious, but they are also afraid. And so they must lash out and attack the perpetrators that have exposed their scheme, while terrorising any others who might be contemplating the awful act of identifying Arday version two. Do you think that Oxford doesn&#8217;t have its own version of this? Or Leeds? Or Edinburgh? Or any of them? Arday wasn&#8217;t an exception, he is now the norm. And the upper middle class peons who trot off their sons and daughters to these now relics had no idea of what is actually going on. No idea until Cofnas did the unthinkable.</p><p>This is where the real battle lies. We must stand with Cofnas against the communist mob, and all those who know the truth and can begin rooting out the rest of the scumbags in academia would do well to take courage from his example. The sooner this pestilence is contained and eliminated the better. Arday is the sign that the dam is beginning to crack. It would be prudent not to be swayed by the cretins screaming abuse at the guy who merely pointed it out. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer was not brainwashed by communist scum.

You will never be told that you have committed a social disaster as that is not the English way; rather, you will be spoken about when people have departed at the end of the evening.</p><p>One of the mistakes mentioned was immediately asking what someone does for a living. What is your job, goes the line, and then you are expected to defend yourself to your questioner. This question is used so as to ascertain your social standing. It is a primary tool in societies boasting of not having a class system. The class system exists, however, and where you stand on it is based on how much money you make. Which is rather tacky, or without class, and which is why it is considered a social faux pas in England.</p><p>(Interestingly enough, in Italy where I currently live, this question almost never gets asked in a social setting. There are people whom I have known for years who I still don&#8217;t know what they do for a living).</p><p>So the question is used to determine your social standing; people want to be able to put you in a box and then treat you accordingly. But in countries like the USA there is a new and altogether more disturbing development of this phenomenon that is seeing children swept up in the ghastly push for a class system without a class system.</p><p>Children are now being asked by adults what their activities are. In other words, what sports do they play and at what level? What musical instruments do they study? What languages are they learning, oh sorry, this is the USA, Americans don&#8217;t learn other languages. Children are no longer just children; they have to be able to justify their social standing to adults. </p><p>But it is mostly a form of social control regarding family size. The pressure to conform to social expectations and provide an almost endless stream of extra-curricular activities for children has the intended side effect of keeping family sizes small. These activities are time consuming not just for the children, but most importantly for the parents. Weekends are no longer time for relaxation with the family, and enjoyment of time spent together. Instead they are consumed with running around shuttling the children from one activity to another. And there is the cost of the activities. This places an additional financial burden on already struggling families, but they feel that they must provide the activities for the children or they will be classed as bad parents.</p><p>In this way, parents balk at having more than two children as the cost in time and money is simply too high. They cannot keep up and so they limit themselves to one or two children at most, just as long as they can beam with pride at how well little Sofia is doing at rollerblade figure skating. And Sofia is now expected to respond accordingly when adults interrogate her on her extra-curriculum activities. And she will no doubt proudly do so, at length and at great detail.</p><p>The additional and most insidious effect of all of this is that the God given order of the family is inverted. Instead of the father being the head of the family, the children are the de facto leaders. The family revolves around the children&#8217;s activities. I know families where the father would like to move the family to the country but is waiting to see if little Johnny will finally lose interest in whatever sport he is playing that can only be done in the city. And so they wait and wait, but Johnny keeps playing and so they must defer to his wishes as the child rules the roost.</p><p>The only solution to this trap is to not play the game at all. Children do not need these activities to thrive, they can do perfectly well without them. That is not to say that they shouldn&#8217;t play a musical instrument or be involved in sports, but when it becomes unbalanced in this manner then it has a detrimental effect. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I wonder how that English chap would react to a question along the lines of what are his children&#8217;s activities directed at the children themselves. I feel that the laconic stiff English upper lip would finally meet its match, and that the English proclivity for not calling out a social faux pas would finally be swiftly and terribly broken. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is an activity free publication.

There are two reasons for this. The first is that yoga is not simply a form of exercise, although that is exactly how it has been sold to gullible westerners. Yoga is instead an ancient form of Hindu worship developed over hundreds and hundreds of years. The poses are specifically designed to put the body in contorted positions that allow spiritual contact with Hindu gods, also known as demons.</p><p>Kundalini yoga is a prime example of this. This type of yoga explicitly seeks to awaken a type of snake energy located in the spine of the practicer. Snakes; now where have Christians encountered those before, I wonder.</p><p>So a Christian practicing yoga is participating in a double spiritual whammy. They&#8217;re exposing themselves to demons while also actively breaking the 1st Commandment. And that&#8217;s the most important one, because the Commandments are written in order of importance. </p><p>Here is an interesting interview with a former long term yoga instructor and Catholic. </p><div id="youtube2-yfzyuBf8USg" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;yfzyuBf8USg&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/yfzyuBf8USg?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>There are a few things that stand out to me in the interview. She mentions Carl Jung as being extremely fascinated with yoga and promoting it extensively. However, after his experiences with Kundalini yoga he reversed his stance and warned people of the great dangers of going down the yoga rabbit hole.</p><p>But the most interesting part for me was when she speaks about her experiences with her local Catholic priest when she was beginning to have doubts about the wisdom of practicing yoga, particularly as a Catholic. For a start the priest had allowed her to run yoga classes in the parish, which betrays a disturbing lack of awareness of what yoga actually is.</p><p>But when she confided to her priest the doubts that were growing in her mind as regards the wisdom of practicing and teaching yoga, his response was simply that he did not know. From that point it was up to her to decide. This lack of theological curiosity from a professional theologian is an example of why I do not bow to authority or to credentials. As a layman I regularly run into the argument that being a layman I either have no place to question what is going on in the Church, or I have no professional experience to be able to question anything. And yet, here we have a supposed professional being presented with a very real theological issue and simply washing his hands of the problem. And this sort of thing is very widespread. Part of it can be blamed on the lack of real teaching and professional direction in seminaries, but a lot of it can also be blamed on the type of men that are being accepted as future priests. Boat rockers and men who can think for themselves are not welcome. As a result there are many priests who are just bad at their jobs.</p><p>But back to yoga. The nail in the coffin for yoga is not that it worships demons, and nor is it that it breaks the 1st Commandment. No, the biggest argument against yoga is that it comes from India, and nothing good has ever come from that cursed land. India and Indians are a plague on the earth, a plague that the powers at be seem to be keen to spread to every corner of the world. If you want to partake in stretching exercises, which is lame enough to begin with, but if you want to do that then just do stretching. But attempting to awaken your own personal Kundalini spirit serpent is a path of great foolishness which unfortunately too many people, mostly women, walk heedlessly into. And doing something that is Indian is quite simply the lamest of the lame. So don&#8217;t be lame, and don&#8217;t do yoga. Your soul will thank you.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a yoga-free publication.

I remember the constant attacks from those who were in on the scam. We were tarred with the brush of being an &#8220;anti-vaxxer&#8221;. This was the modern equivalent of being a heretic. We were &#8220;against science&#8221; when every reasonable and right thinking person knew that the science was settled. At times I wondered if I was the crazy one for being able to understand that if something is settled then it is not science. </p><p>And holding fast in the face of such constant vitriol and personal attacks coming from 90% of society is rather difficult to do. You do indeed begin to wonder if maybe you have got things wrong. It is extremely exhausting to be always on the &#8220;wrong side of history&#8221; as they call it. When you are ostracised you can begin to go a little nutty, trapped inside your own head and falling prey to second guessing yourself. </p><p>The anti-vaxx holdouts who wouldn&#8217;t get with the program have been proven right. But there is no public recognition, no apology from those who so viciously attacked us. We just get to go with our lives knowing that the bastards in the first group are always planning something new to spring on the normies, because they get off on that sort of evil shit. And yes, those people in the first group are evil. </p><p>Which brings me to the present state of the Catholic Church. Since Vatican II, the Church has been suffering through its own form of the Covid scam. The only difference being that the timeline is much longer, but you need a lot more time when you&#8217;re attempting to take down God&#8217;s Church. And the evil bastards have been actively working on it for hundreds of years. The time line, and parallels with the Covid scam, (in italics), go something like this:</p><p>Declare a conclave to deal with an impending emergency, (modernism). </p><p><em>Declare an impending emergency which is breaking out in Northern Italy and China, (Covid).</em></p><p>The ones declaring the emergency and calling for the conclave are the ones actually pushing the modernist line in the Church. The conclave is quickly hijacked and transformed into an embrace of modernity. In other words, making the Church relevant for &#8220;modern audiences&#8221;. </p><p><em>The ones screaming the most about Covid are the ones who stand to benefit the most from a worldwide lockdown and mass vaccinations.</em> </p><p>A modern version of the Mass is implemented, known as the novus ordo mass. At the beginning there is much talk that it is not replacing the Latin Mass, but it is merely complimenting the original form, and that those who still wish to worship using the Latin Mass will of course be free to do so. </p><p><em>Vaccines from four different companies all miraculously appear on the market as the guaranteed way to resolve the Covid crisis. The vaccines are pushed as being entirely voluntary.</em></p><p>A small but vocal segment of the Catholic community, both priests and laypeople, voice opposition to Vatican II, declaring that it is heretical and not of the Church. These people are labeled as troublemakers by the psychos behind the Vatican II coup, and all &#8220;good Catholics&#8221; are encouraged to shun them. Their views are ridiculed and they are labeled schismatic without any formal investigation into their claims ever being conducted. </p><p><em>A small but vocal segment of the world&#8217;s population raises strong objections to the vaccines, the lockdowns, the ridiculous controls implemented and the media spin and propaganda. They are labeled as anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists by the psychos running the Covid scam, and all good people are encouraged to shun and attack them at every opportunity. Their claims are ridiculed, and their own controls are quickly declared illegal by the state, such as Ivermectin. </em></p><p>Despite the assurances given at the implementation of the novus ordo mass, the Church hierarchy continues to place more and more restrictions on the Latin Mass. Adherents of the Latin Mass are herded into controlled communities where they can be effectively watched by Rome. With no access to a pope or papal mandate, laypeople who join groups outside Rome&#8217;s control suffer greatly as they cannot have personal issues resolved since their Church lacks a visible head. The visible Church greatly increases the scope of its adherence to the new modernist morality. Novus ordo services are held with dancing clowns and beachballs bounced over the heads of the faithful, while homosexuals and demon worshippers are welcomed with open arms, as well as followers of any other religion. Those declared schismatic by Rome are forced to undergo a humiliating declaration renouncing their wrong thinking if they wish to re-enter the visible Church. Families turn against each other and social gatherings are defined by those who are not allowed to attend weddings or funerals. Actual living Catholicism is criminalised while all those who reject real Catholicism are welcomed with open arms. Many Catholics reject Catholicism by proxy; they do not consider what they are doing in so much as they simply wish to be able to go about their daily lives without identifying the great pressure that is all around them if they only ever dared to look. And because they do not dare to look then they cannot be made to see.</p><p><em>Pressure is increased on those refusing the vaccines. Restrictions are put in place for the un-vaxxed, and in some cases they are herded into camps. They are made to undergo costly and painful swab tests just so they can go to work or do the shopping. More and more boosters are released and the population are greatly encouraged to get the latest shot, while being punished with the same restrictions if they balk. Controls against Covid are increased with face masks, social distancing and green passes becoming ubiquitous. Families turn against each other and social gatherings are defined by those not allowed to attend birthdays or holidays. Normal living is criminalised. People enthusiastically get with the program simply as a means of functioning on a day to day level. They cannot be made to see reason as their mental state depends on them not acknowledging the elephant in the room. </em></p><p>The modus operandi are the same. Create the great problem, offer a solution, convince the normies that all is well, and ridicule and ostracise those who see through the lies. The thing is though, this ongoing litmus test within the Church is of far greater importance than the Covid test. The Covid test was a gift from God in that it opened so many normie eyes as to what the evil bastards actually get up to. </p><p>But the battle for the Church is where the real battle now exists. All the rest is a supporting act to the main event. The battle for our souls and the Church itself extends over millennia. </p><p>When Covid ended it stopped from one day to the next. And then the vast majority of people did their best to never bring it up again. The majority of people did not learn any lessons. The evil psychos kept their ill-gotten gains and went unpunished. Those who suffered due to their ideological stance received no recognition nor any compensation. </p><p>How will this fiasco in the Church end? I do not know and I give that over to our Lord. But I can tell you that holding fast to this truth in the constant face of ridicule and attacks is far easier than what I experienced during Covid. Because I have no doubt. Abject public heretics cannot be Catholic, let alone hold any office in the Church. The Church&#8217;s teachings on this matter are clear. Christianity is the most pure and perfect religion. </p><p>God could end this nightmare in a moment but He chooses not to. I do not pretend to know His reasoning, but I do know that it is good and for our benefit. Perhaps it is partly because we took the Church and worship for granted; people went through the motions automatically and without thinking. Now we have to make a choice. Do we get with their diabolical program or do we fight for His Church? Do we once again order our lives around the Church or do we continue to relegate it to the sidelines or not consider God at all? Life is all about our choices, and the choices that we make here on earth echo for eternity. God wants us to choose Him. </p><p>In the Covid debacle there were examples of employees working in institutions banding together to refuse the jab. &#8220;They can&#8217;t fire all of us&#8221; went the line, and time and again they were proven right. The authorities backed off and firemen, prison guards, air traffic controllers and many others won quiet victories. Those victories added up, and finally the weight of the lie could no longer be held. In a similar vein, many small victories are being made against the satanists squatting in God&#8217;s Church. The more who join in those small victories then the sooner that the lie will collapse. And just like Covid, this is a lie upon which the world turns. It&#8217;s just far bigger.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a jab and satanist free publication.

Some lessons that should be learned and passed onto the next generations so that they should have the benefit of what we lived through. So here are some of the lessons that we all should remember from that period when the world went mad with lies.</p><ul><li><p>God is all. Hold hard to your faith. Without God we are nothing, we are lost, we are dust in the wind. The more that they torment you, then the more that you have the greatest possible reason to deepen your faith with Him. Every worldly test is an opportunity gifted from the Divine to reach out and ask God for His help.</p></li><li><p>This time will pass. When you are deep in the crap for having held firm to truth in a world that is screaming lies at you, know that this time will pass. And when it passes, don&#8217;t let them try and gaslight you about what happened. Remember this mantra: short time pain, long term gain. You can try and take the easy way out that is presented to you, but the reality will be far less easy than you realise.</p></li><li><p>The government and all of its minions are not your friends, they do not have your best interests at heart. They are your enemies. Interact with them accordingly.</p></li><li><p>The entire vaccine industry is not just a fraud, but most probably responsible for all of the modern ailments that were unknown barely a hundred years ago. For example, lung cancer was almost unheard of before the 1930s, and more people smoked then that at almost any time in history. The vaccine industry, the cancer treatment industry, and the cancer research industry are symbiotic organisms. </p></li><li><p>The medical establishment was paid bounties of hundreds of thousands of dollars for each patient enrolled in the covid statistics that the government desperately needed. The medical establishment participated whole heartedly in this cash bonanza funded by money stolen from taxpayers. Doctors, nurses and hospital administrators murdered people for money.</p></li><li><p>The media is an arm of the government. See previous point.</p></li><li><p>Celebrities are media whores who owe their fame to willingly taking the ticket. They will say and do whatever they are told to say and do. </p></li><li><p>Sports personalities are not as brought and paid for as celebrities, but are still very susceptible to financial and social pressure to get with the program. Some famous sportsmen did step up and speak out, such as Novak Djokovic. </p></li><li><p>The government and all of its tentacles will never admit to having done anything wrong. The tax office will still expect to be paid even when the government shut down your business.</p></li><li><p>People are easily manipulated by propaganda and fear. They will hate you for not also been susceptible to the same manipulation. The government will encourage their hatred through the use of division and ostracism. Rest assured that being ostracised by retards is an actual benefit for you, although it may not seem that way at the time.</p></li><li><p>Beans store very well and are packed with nutrients. Vegetable gardens allow you to have food for next to nothing. Chickens provide you with eggs if you give them the leftovers from the vegetable garden. All of this precludes you living in a city.</p></li><li><p>The best way to refuse coercion i<a href="https://wilderwealthywise.com/fauci-and-the-big-lie/">s to just say no</a>. Don&#8217;t offer a reason, don&#8217;t offer an excuse, don&#8217;t attempt to defend your actions. Simply say no. No is a sentence in of itself.</p></li><li><p>They can&#8217;t force you to give in. They can do their very best to force you, but in the end the decision to cave is your very own, and you will have to live with that decision for the rest of your life. But do not fret if you caved; there will be plenty of opportunities to not give in coming soon to all of us.

That is the truth of it. And everybody not caught in the dream of (admittedly masterful) propaganda, the leaders, the producers, the strong ones, the people who actually matter, the people on whom the future of the whole world rely, know.</p></blockquote><p>Masterful propaganda? Are you kidding me? It was fucking retarded. It was kindergarten level panic inanity. I don&#8217;t know if people are retrospectively saying this in order for dumb fucks who took the jab to feel better about themselves, but it&#8217;s so retarded that actual retarded people should be offended by me comparing them in this manner.</p><p>I refused to take the clot shots and it cost me. I was having to travel for work during that debacle between the Netherlands and Saudi Arabia on a regular basis. Saudi Arabia invented the electronic green pass which other nations such as Italy then gleefully copied. For over a year of my life I couldn&#8217;t even enter a supermarket, I had to pay some Syrian guy to go and get my groceries for me. For all of that time my life was drive to work, work, drive to a gated compound, sleep. My family rang me from Australia in some sort of outing session where they demanded that I take the jab because they were worried about me. Nobody in my family makes any mention of that now.</p><p>All of that I could handle. But it was the constant psychological pressure, the unrelenting moral high ground taken by the fucking fruit loop brainless drop-dead fucking morons who screeched to the heavens that I was an evil and bad person for not taking the jab as I was selfishly putting their lives at risk. What level of a dumb fuck do you have to be to believe that someone not taking a vaccine will endanger you? If you follow the logical progression of that argument, and I know that logic is very very very very fucking difficult for 90% of the human race after what I saw during the fake pandemic, but bare with me; if you follow the logic of that argument, it kind of means that your beloved vaccine is next to useless for its inferred function, wouldn&#8217;t you say? Me not taking the vaccine and standing next to you somehow renders your clot shot useless simply means that your clot shot was always useless.</p><p>Let us not forget the calls to put people like me in concentration camps. Let us not forget that countries like Australia actually did that, with concentration camps springing up faster than e-coli in Melbourne&#8217;s waterways. Let us not forget the calls to literally put people like me to death for being such a visible and living downer for all of the vaxxed-up zombies out there. And please do not memory hole the fact that many people who submitted to the jab then gleefully, and I mean gleefully rejoiced in the fact that us anti-vaxxers would die of the fake covid virus. Remember that? It wasn&#8217;t enough for them to take the jab, they had to prop up their own insecurities about their decision by hoping that we would die. </p><p>I remember. It wasn&#8217;t the propaganda that was masterful; it was the unrelenting social ostracism that went on and on and on and on and never stopped and only got worse and worse, and then it still went on, and I just tried to put my head down and keep working while wondering if this was ever going to end or would this be the sum total of the rest of my life.</p><p>But it ended, and I was proved right. And this morning I woke up a pure blood, once again. But now with Fauci sitting there like the unrepentant gnome that he is, suddenly it&#8217;s all, oh the poor people who took the vax, how badly done by they are. I suppose all of those poor vax takers are going to get some sort of compensation for their sufferings. How wonderful for them. You must be so thrilled. I&#8217;m so happy for you, all of you who called for my death or incarceration and are now crying crocodile tears of woe is fucking me, look at how hard done by we are. </p><p>You know who won&#8217;t get any compensation? People like me. The hold outs. The ones who saw the great lie for what it was and who refused to bow down and get with the program. The ones who suffered the real mental torture for literally years for standing up for truth, not fake fucking science. It&#8217;s unbelievable, but I knew it would go this way. I knew that the same people who didn&#8217;t just fall for the bullshit but who enthusiastically lapped it up with cries of, science me harder oh great Fauci, the very same people would be first in line wailing to the cameras at how hard done by they are, and how could they have known, and their lives have been destroyed, oh boo hoo, fucking hoo. </p><p>I don&#8217;t care. You have to live with yourselves. You have to live with the knowledge that you folded and then you tried to persecute people like me in order to feel better about your foolish life choices. I didn&#8217;t fold. I held fast. And I watched you. I watched you people lecture me. I observed people with multiple PhDs talk down to me in a condescending manner, as if I was just a retarded child for not understanding that if the authorities, and media, and celebrities, and universities, and Dave the postman tell you that you must take the vax then you must take the vax, you stupid peon. Who&#8217;s stupid now, dumb fuck PhD dude with four shots in his arm? What a bunch of pussies.</p><p>Go on, give them their compensation. What do I care? The sun is shining, the weather is sweet, I have a drink in my hand and the most beautiful girl in the world who loves me, and who didn&#8217;t take the vax either. Because that is the future; the vaxxed and the clean. All of the compensation in the world won&#8217;t change that hard fact. So live with the consequences of your actions. You have a nice day now, you hear?</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a vaxx-free publication.

At a mountain intersection where it is always tricky to see vehicles coming from the left, I began to move but then I immediately stopped as a car was indeed approaching. I hadn&#8217;t seen it for one simple reason. It was that drab grey colour, the kind that says nothing and does nothing, but most of all the colour that fades into the background so that you don&#8217;t see it.</p><p>But when you&#8217;re driving a car you need to be seen. At times your life can depend upon it.</p><p>These types of coloured cars are even worse in the rain or on a drab and cloudy day. The aluminium grey colour began appearing on cars about twenty odd years ago. At first it was seen as a novelty, something new and interesting. But it was the opposite, and not only that, it was a trap set in place by faceless government hive workers seeking to reduce all things to the model pastel tones of grey, black, white, and ochre. You shall have no more colour in your life, you pleb. Colour is for your betters.</p><p>Colour is beauty, and beauty must be eliminated at all costs from the modern world. So when planning your escape from the chains that they wish to impose upon us, one of the best ways to discern whether or not you are on the correct path to freedom is to have a look at the colour.</p><p>For example, the very best colour for a vehicle so you can always be seen no matter the conditions is yellow. I happen to like yellow as a car colour. The Porsche Cayman in yellow is stunning. Other cars maybe not so much. These days if you buy a new car you are restricted for the most part to the modern colours of gloom and doom. Yet another reason not to buy a new car. I mean, all of the spying technology apart, the colours are awful and dangerous for your health.</p><p>Old cars are the way to go. I predict that vehicles made before all of the mumbo-jumbo gadget tech bullshit are going to become highly prized. Not to mention the fact that you can actually work on them. Pick one with an awesome colour, obviously. Do your part to brighten up the world with beauty, not just the colour but the craftsmanship that went into those cars. Of course, you might have to learn how to drive a stick. Life&#8217;s unfair like that.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer drives a groovy old car.

On top of that we have multitudes of petty weaknesses, small seething vices that can take over our lives if we are not careful. It&#8217;s a battleground out there.</p><p>Alcohol is not and has never been my one great weakness. I have overindulged on many occasions, and I can distinctly remember a couple of instances where I swore never to indulge again. But for the most part it has been a source of constant joy. <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-191122754">The ancients</a> and our not so distant ancients knew that alcohol was meant as a pleasurable affair. Jesus even changed water into wine; he didn&#8217;t turn it into a lemon, lime and bitters. The immense and universal joy of the first Mass saw wine as the most fitting accompaniment, which remains the case in every Mass celebrated today.</p><p>Alcohol is also <a href="https://substack.com/home/post/p-204243339">not bad for you</a>. However, any underlining health problems or immune system weaknesses that you have will be exacerbated by alcohol. This reality, coupled with the common vice of people who are struggling with their one great sin feeling a strong need to eliminate that temptation from the entire population so as to assuage their own weakness, has seen a rise in calls for people to stop drinking.</p><p>How incredibly tiresome. The modern world seeks to remove joy from our lives at every opportunity. We are supposed to be convinced that a life sapped of every small joy is somehow a blessing as we all strive to live the longest lives of misery possible. Only for the government to find ways to euthanise us in our later years due to their inability to manage a social security budget. </p><p>Alcohol is such a rewarding world. Right now it is summer in the Italian Alps, and a very hot summer at that; one of the very best that I can remember. This is obviously good weather for a refreshing cold beer or two after a hard day&#8217;s work. But it is also wonderful cocktail weather. A well prepared gin and tonic is almost ubiquitous. Well prepared means the following - fill a tall and solid glass with ice. Cut some wedges of lime and place in the ice. Pour over the lime your healthy dose of gin, such that the gin is infused with the essence of the fruit. Then fill with a good quality tonic water while stirring vigorously with a cocktail spoon. </p><p>Or how about a Pimm&#8217;s Cup? This is a top class drink for the hotter months, easy to prepare, yet giving a touch of glamor. The other weekend a group of us left my house on foot for a two hour walk through the mountains to reach an isolated spot where a concert was being held. There were over a thousand people in the mountain meadow enjoying the music, and also enjoying cold beer and Italian hot pork rolls. We arrived back at the house a few hours later, and I quickly served everyone fresh drinks, Pimm&#8217;s Cup to be precise. The drinks were consumed amidst exclamations of wonder that I was able to prepare such ostentatious drinks. One of the girls had declared that she didn&#8217;t want anything alcoholic as she was so done in. I ignored her pleas, of course, and when I placed the drink in her hand she greedily drank it down and then sheepishly asked for another.</p><p>Pimm&#8217;s Cup. Like the gin and tonic, fill the glass with ice, place orange and cucumber wedges in the ice and then dose with a good shot of Pimms. Top with ginger ale, stir and finally garnish with a long sprig of mint. Pretend to be sophisticated.</p><p>Italy is known for its wine, and in summer I always have a good stock of prosecco in the house for when guests arrive. I buy it from a local winemaker, 12 bottles at a time for 3 euro a bottle. While bubbles are nice, I prefer classic whites. Soave, Gewurztraminer, riesling and Lugana are some excellent local examples. A crisp glass of white wine while sitting out on the terrace gazing over the mountains while a storm rumbles and flashes in the far distance. All that remains is to light a cigarette and disconnect the internet. </p><p>So here is to alcohol. May all who imbibe do so with joy, peace and prosperity. And may those who are so unfortunate as to suffer it as their one great sin please shut the hell up and leave the rest of us alone. </p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is an alcohol-supported publication.

Nix wrote an article</a> detailing his journey from the naive blue pill, to the awakening state of the red pill, through the despair of the black pill, and finally to his present reality of the hope of the white pill. </p><blockquote><p>In any case, this is the White Pill: Bringing hope when you could name the darkness as a Black-Pill doomer.</p></blockquote><p>There is an awful lot of the Black-Pill doomer mindset about. I myself have been very prone to it, seeing everything as a giant lie, which as Fr. Nix explains results in you becoming defined by the lie. Lies are of the devil, and even if you are working to point them out, if that is the sum total of your existence then you are wallowing in the lies. </p><p>It is rather like so called charities which start off working to alleviate a social ill, but end up being so defined by the thing that they were working to remove that their work becomes one of perpetuating the ill as a means to justify their existence. Think of homeless charities as one example. If homelessness were eliminated then they would have no reason to exist. Thus, they expand the problem so as to gain more funding.</p><p>Substack is just a long form version of Twitter, which means the moaning is exacerbated. Doom scrolling and outrage porn are symptoms of succumbing to the black pill and defining yourself by the lies. It becomes habitual; the zombie scrolling down a daily feed in an effort to consume and consume more and more, trying to feed the outrage habit. It is why I no longer read people such as Miles Mathis, as but one example. </p><p>But exposing the lies is critically important. The black pill is a necessary step to the white pill, but the key is to not become ensnared by it. This is a time of great hope. Ten years ago when I began writing on the ills that are plaguing us, there were very few people listening, and most who came across my writing dismissed the warnings. That is no longer the case today. The red pill is going mainstream. On the weekend I was at a social gathering where the subject of immigration came up. I casually mentioned that the elites are using Indians to attempt to replace whites in every white nation on earth, their motivation to have a slave caste while they live the high life.</p><p>Complete agreement from everyone present, men and women. Ten years ago I would have been ostracised and most probably ejected from the premises. The long path of being alone to seeing the danger seems to be coming to an end.</p><p>That gives me hope, and it should give all of you hope as well. The devil wants us living in despair. He hates hope, and does everything in his power to extinguish it. So while I still aim to expose lies when I believe it necessary to do so, my aim from now on will be to join Fr. Nix in his White Pill journey. It is long past time to raise our heads and give thanks for what we have, while we find the courage to act on our convictions. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://adampiggott.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Gentleman Adventurer is a white pilled publication.
