The State of the Manosphere 2024
My Farewell Address
– September 12th, 2024 –
This official statement is available here as a PDF download.
My fellow manospherians,
I speak to you today on the five year anniversary since my administration began. In my inaugural address on that historic day, I established this office of the Manosphere Presidency. My first act was to immediately declare a manosphere wide emergency crisis of honor and masculinity. I took these unprecedented steps from a position of love for the manosphere and everything it once stood for.
In today’s 2024 State of the Manosphere we will review the accomplishments of my administration, and the current state of our once great community. As you will see, today’s remarks will also serve as my final and farewell address to the manosphere as your president.
Together in our struggle to Make the Manosphere Great Again we have achieved what many thought would be impossible.
In 2020 we launched a campaign to abolish feminism forever and Make Women Great Again - a campaign that shocked over 100 million people around America and the world, making appearances on national television and international headline news. In a historic first, I used my opportunity on national TV with Piers Morgan to proudly declare feminism a hate and supremacist movement, and a national security threat to the future of the United States. Feminism remains the enemy of America and mankind itself.
Make Women Great Again live events went on to be held three times in Florida and educational videos from those events alone have gone on to be viewed more than twenty million times.
The Dream Administration went on to be endorsed by powerful manosphere leaders like Andrew Tate and Pat Stedman, while weathering relentless attacks and slander from the mainstream media.
In 2021 I survived a failed coup and impeachment attempt by Conovan Sharpe and friends. I was acquitted on all charges.
With our revolutionary "strength through memes" diplomacy – and the creation of the Manosphere Bureau of Investigation – my administration has waged total war on manosphere frauds and corruption at a level never before imagined.
We investigated, we memed, and we exposed without mercy or regret.
From homosexual religious super predators, to self-proclaimed dating coaches who brag about fornicating with so called “transsexual women”, to your run of the mill goofy schmoofy beta males leading men around in endless circles - we left no stone unturned and no fraud at peace.
As a priority target of this anti-corruption campaign and one of the MBI’s most wanted, iconic manosphere fraud Conovan Sharpe has since totally collapsed, publicly confessed his sins against the manosphere, and offered his complete surrender.
In building The Patriarch Convention my administration normalized “rebuilding the patriarchy” as a common and noble goal for all manospherians. Being pro-patriarchy has since become an everyday part of the modern manosphere lexicon.
In my first term - as an Objectivist and retired Catholic - I single handedly united American Christians together for the common values of masculinity, family, and patriarchy.
The World Manosphere Summit - 21 Summit - was the only place in America where Protestants/Roman Catholics/Orthodox Catholics/Mormons/Objectivists and Solar Idealists gathered to discuss their shared values, cultural concerns, and debate their differences with honor.
As President of the Manosphere I've been an unstoppable force for American masculinity, the beginning of a bold new American patriarchy, for Making Women Great Again, and against the evil forces of feminism.
My administration while extremely professional, was never very formal. It was always more of an insurrection against a corrupt, wicked, and secret establishment. This establishment was like a hidden cancer that had been growing in the manosphere for many years.
I discovered the manosphere nearly twenty years ago in 2005. I was there Gandalf, 3,000 years ago, approaching thousands of women with canned pickup lines and plenty of “peacocking”.
During the past two decades I have participated in, observed, and organized the manosphere on a near daily basis. Love me or hate me, I know every leader on a first name basis.
During this time I traveled the globe building the world’s largest and longest running manosphere event - The 21 Convention - across five countries and three continents with nearly 2,000 alumni attendees. These events alone united the clans of the manosphere: PUA/Red Pill/MGTOW/Men’s Rights and Patriarchs.
When I found the manosphere and began building these events at the tender age of 17, the manosphere promised revolution. A beta male revolution. The manosphere vowed real change for millions of young men. And after a time, for better or worse, this change was boiled down to simply taking a magic red pill.
While I achieved immense personal change on the journey from PUA to patriarch, I watched most manospherians fail. By the thousands, then millions as the years rolled by.
The birth of my beloved daughter Charlotte Dream Johnson barely one year ago has given me the opportunity to step back from the manosphere and observe this movement dispassionately and with greater altitude than ever before.
This growth in perspective has opened my eyes to the sorry, stagnant, and stale state of the manosphere. Over the past 20 years I have watched many friends and great men of our movement die. True alpha males like Alan Roger Currie, Pat Campbell, Andrew Hansen, Kevin Samuels, and many more.
It is my belief that if they were alive today, they would be absolutely disgusted with the state of the manosphere today.
It saddens me to say that the manosphere has completely lost its original camaraderie, positivity, authenticity, passion for truth, and revolutionary spirit.
Like many of you I came for personal revolution. I was told we could work together and just maybe, save the west. Yet for the past 20 years I’ve watched this movement have the life, blood, and spirit snuffed out of it brick by brick.
Our revolution was sold out one super chat, one compromise at a time.
At the beginning of my presidency I believed sincerely that this was due to a failure of moral leadership within the manosphere. That the cancer plaguing our movement was primarily from the top down, not the bottom up.
My daughter has given me this incredible gift of greater perspective, and I have since realized that it is not simply the frauds, conmen, and predators of men’s souls who are at fault in this community: it is just as much the common manospherians as it is the corrupt leadership and “content creators”.
With a heavy heart, I say now that this original manosphere is beyond reform and redemption. It must be cleansed by intellectual and spiritual fire. The manosphere as we knew it is doomed, and its final state bears no legitimate relationship to its founding. I cannot in good conscience participate in this manosphere going forward.
I make this dire proclamation as the one man who has dragged the manosphere forward for 20 years, publicly and privately, inch by inch, kicking and screaming every step of the way. To see the men of this once great community groveling at the feet of single mom lovers, charlatans, and 26 year old “red pill bimbos” giving them advice on how to be a man is categorically beyond absurd and completely unacceptable.
In a word, it is treason.
As my final act as President of the Manosphere, I am extending my full and absolute endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of these United States. He is the greatest man among us. A true apex alpha male, our champion, our hero, and America’s last best hope for masculinity right now. I urge you to vote for Donald Trump and support his campaign financially, socially, and spiritually with every ounce of your soul.
It has been the honor of a lifetime serving as your favorite president. The exclusive condition I attach to my resignation is the total abolishment of this office upon exiting. I offer this resignation to honor the great men who have fallen, to honor the old manosphere, the old ways, and to honor those of you who have actually given a shit about the issues men face today. To those men, my most loyal supporters, I salute you.
In my upcoming presidential memoir The Manosphere, we’ll be exploring our journey together and my struggle to Make the Manosphere Great Again. Every lie will be purged, every fraud exposed, every hero honored, every truth told. The mission of this book is to educate and inspire. To tell the true history of the manosphere and my life within it.
The purpose of my book is to expose and destroy with the fire and fury of truth. My book will cut down to the soul and origin of the manosphere, burning a clean path forward for us all.
I further offer this farewell address as a declaration of manosphere secession. In the months to come I will be founding a bold new manosphere. More radical, extreme, and authentic than ever before.
This new manosphere will bring honor to the old manosphere and fulfill its broken promises of change and revolution for millions of men. To those of you who truly care about the future of your countrymen, the future of masculinity, the future of patriarchy, and the end of feminism, I encourage you to join me in this secession from the corpse of the corrupt, broken, and hopeless manosphere.
Together as manospherians we will build back better, a radical new manosphere, unburdened by what has been.
With that said I humbly enter my resignation as the first and last President of the Manosphere.
