I have been redpilling people since 1984.
Most people get a fair amount of fun out of their lives, but on balance life is suffering, and only the very young or the very foolish imagine otherwise.
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
We have now sunk to a depth at which restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men.
Those who abjure violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf.
The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.

One can love a child, perhaps, more deeply than one can love another adult, but it is rash to assume that the child feels any love in return.

Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

For a creative writer possession of the truth is less important than emotional sincerity.

War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.

If you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics - a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage - surely that proves that you are in the right?

Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.
