Degenerates Explained
We see it everywhere. Addiction to porn, to drama, to phones. Compulsive behaviours are being normalized. We observe young and old alike lost to these things on buses, in cafes and in life generally.
Everyone indulges all the time. No one has the patience to be bored. We cannot be expected to endure even a moment of pain despite the mountain of literature reminding us everything valuable requires at least some sacrifice of which mild discomfort is just the first rung.

In the first stage of degeneracy, it’s fringe. In the final stage, it’s cringe. The most objective description of it, objective and uncontroversial from all perspectives, is the commercialization and ‘productification’ of what’s obviously supposed to be more than that. Which then fails until it all dies.
Look into anything with delusions of antitraditional counterculturality, especially its ‘underground,’ and you’ll not-so-mysteriously see the same aspects of personality, behavior, and sentiment over and over in straightforward simplicity. Every horror movie and vodka commercial on Earth can represent such types perfectly just by leaning into their stereotypes. If you want to see such for yourself, look into how each such memoir and story either explicitly or implicitly cites identical motivations and attitudes within a small range thereof. Exempli gratia, as a movement or trend is concerned: ‘generic liberalism LARPing in shock value piloted by equally simply resentful specimens who are far more politically and (anti)religiously charged than their moronic normalization is willing to acknowledge.’
This uniformity allows me to provide objective examples instead of relying on anecdotal evidence and personal appeals, which the subject demographic could easily try to rhetorically discredit or wave off given that denial, games of posturing, and abuse of such technicalities are among their specialties. Both said examples are (at least now) right-wing grifters who would-be fans should avoid.
Degenerates Are Dehumanized (Ex: Jeremy ‘The Quartering’ Hambly)
“Okay, so what else do you do besides pretend that your cohort’s most conformist fads and fetishes are “freedom” or “raising Hell”?”
The lack of answers to this is unsurprising given that this is the strain that shows how humanity can be turned into the exact kind of ‘economic units’ or ‘slaves.’ Their parlance for, as a famous example, women is so dehumanized because it’s accurate; on a denigrating and plainly operative level, none of those involved are anything more. All are puppets, so by far the worst are those who think they have no strings.
Or that theirs are their own. You’re straight-edge? So is Gene Simmons.
Even the degenerates who achieve success are felled by some deficiency in getting there. Examples of such include:
A lack of understanding—overt or unaware—of how they achieved it. Not literally, they ‘don’t really know.’ Then or later, this intensifies feelings of lost time, confusion, and anxiety.
They end up living in exactly that which they tried to escape, be it a kind of squalor or ending up becoming their parents but without their qualities and cultural pedigree, even whatever was left of it.
Their mongoloidism is not only corruptive to those who look up to them (imagine accruing a fanbase/community of people you know foundationally isn’t right) but also in rewarding and enabling perverse groups and industries. No one makes such an ‘empire’ by themselves, not even the room, tools, opportunity, or receptibility for such to happen occurs without the existence of greater bodies. Not only did/do you end up serving ‘the man’ anyway, you’re a tool for the worst man.
They throw it all away in a crisis-of-fantasy (midlife, for instance) and expend it all for some falsely-paradisal spiral of indulgence.
Their achievement in whatever it happens to be comes at the cost of anything (it can be multiple things) that can proverbially be compared to losing your soul.
Whatever resources they gain are only teleologically appropriately understood as an ‘enablement meter’ whose exhausting can’t be delayed forever.
They start developing inappropriate faculties of introspectiveness and self-awareness which start spoiling their charades with a now-invasive perspective that they can’t get rid of.
‘That time in your life never happens again…’ Yeah, this is why.
Some such thing happening/being true is inevitable.
Degenerates Are Dogmatic (Ex: Any believer in liberalism thinking the next generation’s intensification of it is magically “going too far.”)
Everywhere I turn, I find zealots planting some new flag proclaiming another part of my life, previously permitted to go about its business with its head down, contested territory. They are claiming it for their own, making it known what kind of people should feel welcome there and who should feel free to get lost. Businesses I frequent, sports I enjoy, games I play, publications I read, shows I watch, clubs I belong to, my kids’ playground gossip — nothing is off limits. It’s a constantly rising tide of ideological commitment, always to some new, most-important-ever thing, but always advancing, and always in one direction.

Whatever example you have of this or that group being “weird” or “repressive,” degenerates are just as demandingly dogmatic, even more so given their lack of self-awareness. They assign as much teleology, objectivity, and distinction between good and evil to the human lifespan as any “prude” not only in spite of their humanistic pretensions but because of them. The most incessant, underrated, and logically foundational example of this is their fixation on cornering the norms of ‘what your young years are for.’ (For a relatively moderate example, see Yueyue Wang’s Incurable Rake As leftists, their natural habitat includes presuming that other people they meet or are near—and who don’t give them immediate signs of being atypical or a member of an oppositional group1—by default agree with them. They invariably take for granted that their ‘way’ is the good, normal, and/or ideal, while one who doesn’t follow in a similar suit is ‘different,’ an outlier, caused by artificial circumstances such as religion or going through a phase, or even mentally defective.
By predictable contrast, anyone with a basic behavioral adherence to a religion—translation: the wrong one—is seen as “hardcore” or a fanatic, especially when this ‘surprises’ the degenerate, especially when it’s the religion they really don’t like, and especially when the person’s faithfulness prevents something the degenerate is excited about.
Then comes their worst enemy: age. The stage where no one really has anything and everyone’s in that specific corner of ignorance that enables illusions of novelty and fulfillment isn’t really something that can be avoided, yes, so it should be made to count, but what does it mean when that’s your gold standard? Even logically, the end of that is that nothing was special at all because such is absolutely antithetical to your creed of human consumerism, and now it’s all downhill from here. True enough, it’s better for the degenerate to die a relic of their time. (The afterlife will be a different story.) Otherwise, they either realize the fault of their ways or one of the funniest phenomena in the human condition occurs: they become a hopeless liberal-conservative, thinking the nonexistent, conjured-in-retrospect values of whatever “they did” is Sunday school in its developmental essentiality and electing for the ‘well things suck for you guys right now, and what I did isn’t happening anymore, so something must’ve been “lost”’ route.
Speaking for a demographic who knows good and well that ours are the only lives where we’re 100% guaranteed to be Catholic (or Orthodox, etc.), that is pathetic. Almost as pathetic as how each generation’s idea of ‘hot women’ and such transgressiveness age.
It also neglects the effects of antitraditional culture and political dogmas, but such is already necessary. Even in the ‘youth culture loss’ itself, what is now is a product of what was then. People are just finding more advanced and efficient ways to do all that, with the accompanying results. Dopamine is all that mattered anyway, so no one can complain about their enablement techniques being obsoleted.
The same happens with the ‘the Left left me’ phenomena: acting incredulous, frustrated, and even “worried” in the face of their own obsolescence when their sequels are just doing to them what they did to those before them.
Yet another example is when someone neglects to treat degeneracy properly, specifically in the disclaimer-esque ‘I just want to preface that I don’t want to force my lifestyle on anyone’ sense. As with the vast majority of the human experience, degeneracy overlaps, synergizes, etc. between itself and affects other domains. If you want something you don’t like to be properly treated, you have to do the same for most or all the rest of it in that area regardless of what you’re “okay with.” The only fact for this that’s consistently even moderately effective is the acceptance and championing of religious law, and given how bans/restrictions on things from drugs to contraception are at present basically impossible, this includes shunning and shaming those who act against it. By far the most coherent and correct one is Christianity.
Anyone who knows anything about political history over the last several decades knows that such ‘religious enforcement’ is a fact of human civilization regardless of any pretensions of difference. One example is how the “separation of church and state” mysteriously only applies to the church being kept out of state business and never the state being kept out of your church’s business. Freedom necessitates supremacy over opposition, and no believer in freedom invokes it in favor of any group, action, or power structure they don’t like or aren’t intending to be included (retrieved 1/25/2026).
Degenerates Have Nothing of Their Own (Ex: Someone you personally know will be a more immediately well-fitting example)
Degenerates’ beliefs are performative—comprised of hypocrisies, contradictions, fetishes, assumptions-made-because-they-feel-good, and willful ignorance/ignoring of information that would get in the way. They also don’t have any ideas or reactions that would get in the way; for example, none of them can be actual nihilists—or ‘not give a fuck’—because they ascribe meaning, significance, and quality to stuff just as often as anyone else and can readily be bothered by marks that are uncontroversial to the libertine dogma, like animal abuse and talking bad about their mother/sister. How else could their dopamine sources exist? Instead, it’s merely posturing against the normalcy that they can’t acquit themselves with for some reason or another.
Everything they are is reliant on a stunting of human development that makes its believers think it’s inevitable, invincible, and the best way to live—and ‘normal,’ when you let them be themselves that much. Its power is derived from (Satan, and also) how easy and pleasing it is to throw everything away and involute. Like procrastination in school made into a religion.
The best example of this is anyone who would ordinarily be considered “far-right” but rejects Christian sexual morality. What results is a liberal who thinks that hating feminists and the Jews magically makes them different, even as they live like the kind of mongrels they pretend to oppose and seethe against Christian influence with inheritances like ‘you want us to be repressed like the Taliban/Puritans’ and relying on defining “sexuality” in the vaguest possible terms to hide how their wants and motivations are 100% stereotypical in the ‘atheists just want porn’ sense.
Rather, their motives are always a combination of subhuman hedonic cognition—the abuse of the need for what is true to ultimately be pleasant into ‘reality = whatever I feel like whenever I get any kind of feeling’—and some enabling factors that allow the degenerate to live through a facsimile of values, interests, identity, and purpose.
Delusions
“Winning” at something, either directly (materialism) or indirectly (a movement or culture).
Novelty or edginess.
Rebellion.
The pettily evil sides of things—that they like, anyway—being the “real world” or only fun/interesting place.
Fraternity/sorority.
This has a magnifying effect, often exponentially.
‘If drug abuse didn’t ruin our friendship, sobriety sure would.’
Ignoring that degeneracy affects multiple areas of your life, including some that even you know are serious and which thereby eliminate pretenses that allow one to pretend that bad doesn’t mean bad and evil doesn’t mean evil. Degeneracy is destined to spiral out of control.
Nostalgia.
Cluelessness.
‘The Fear Spectrum.’
On one side, the ‘I’m invincible, I won’t turn down a fight,’ on the other, the more overtly neurotic fearful. The former are animalistically deranged and only consistently motivated by self-destruction, while the latter just curdle like left-out milk.
However, other motivations are more predated/predatory, such as:
Peer pressure.
Bad in-group standards and ideals.
Going to an opposite extreme in revolt against a corrupt upbringing.
Taking after the influences of a bad upbringing.
Reality, of course, does not conform to dopamine—hence why degenerates either get jaded or have to intensify, usually in adding more vices or adding some pretense of purpose or development in their nonexistent personal mythos. Something as simple as ‘no, you can’t equivocate tobacco with marijuana, demonize nicotine while thinking THC is totally fine, or claim that the latter has no negative effects when used as your go-to poison’ can be enough to silence hundreds of thousands.
Degenerates Are Parasites (Ex: The Nick Rekieta saga and almost everyone involved in it.)
Degenerates can’t make anything for themselves, which is most egregiously seen in their attempted interpersonal practices. Such result in the congregation and/or conflagration of some of the most deranged, subhuman elements of the host population—see: Port Royal in the pirate days—trying to live out the same kind of mongoloid fantasies or tribalism as ever, abusing whoever and whatever is needed to act it out even if no blood is shed.
Even aside from conflict, it’s plain to see that degenerates can only achieve any kind of interpersonal recognition based on immediate gratification and who controls what resource or need. Outside of that, their ‘ranks’ for each other are childish make-believe, most famously in “relationships.”
Predictably for the strain who rejects dopamine-reducing facts of human nature, nothing good in the degenerate’s environment is maintained by them or their peers, only the exact opposite kind of people. Just like how the misanthrope can only forego dealing with other people in a state of luxury, so too can the degenerate maintain any standard of living off someone else’s work or charity.
Two words: luxury belief.
How to Treat Degenerates?
Not always with negativity, that will both vindicate them and motivate them to deny the possibility of being anything else.
Instead, it goes like this:
When they commit something inexcusable, deprive them of however much of their life is necessary to maintain an example. Do so with neither hesitation nor remorse.
When they show signs of wanting to be something else, offer them support/potential to that end but don’t be either patronizing or a salesman.
Other than in signs to the contrary, never take them seriously to their face but privately take note of them and the threat of which they could serve as an example.
