With all the talk of tribes taking place on TRP, and our own interest in the matter, A discussion started on how tribes form and grow. Then Rollo came out with his book Rational Male: Positive Masculinity that delves very heavily into the topic of families and raising a child as a red pill man. It all clicked.
The tribes that we are looking for are first and foremost families. In our ancient past the tribe was comprised of several family groups. Throughout history, the family has been the central unit of social organization. Most importantly, it is the family that we are missing today.
If you talk to any joe or jane off the street they are likely to tell you they are estranged from at least part of their family. Probably daddy wasn’t there growing up, or they have deep divisions with their siblings. Once they moved out of the house for college they put the family life behind them. Maybe they still keep in touch through facebook and get together on grandma’s birthday, but for them most part they live separate lives.
It’s so ingrained in our culture that we should separate from the family that failure to do so is seen as a failure to mature. Socializing primarily with family members is seen as anti-social. College kids will regularly rebuild the family unit with tight-knit friend groups while scorning their actual relations.
Even Redpill men fall into this trap. It’s probably our families that first introduced us to the feminine imperative. Our sisters and mothers condemn us for rejecting feminism and our brothers and fathers fail to see value in masculinity. It’s easy to decide that these people cannot play a central role in our lives.
But it is a fundamentally feminine thing to disband the family because they do not embrace you without question. Individualism is what’s rotting out the core of our society. We as men must stand against the trend to break up and disperse every time there is interpersonal conflict.
Our power comes from our bonds to our tribe, and our tribe begins with family.
