    Opinion | Bronze Age Pervert’s ‘Cosplay’ Masculinity

    I think of one of the founding fathers of this in the new right is this guy Bronze Age Pervert. I want to play a clip of this interview he did with Michael Malice in 2024, talking about the problems of modernity. “In the pandemic, in my view, it was a mass sacrifice of the world’s youth to the desires of disgusting old people who sacrificed the youth, and also to women, frankly, especially the middle-aged, sterile women who made the pandemic procedures their whole life. It gave meaning to her life. I saw it in action.” So the reason I think that clip is useful. And this book, “Bronze Age Mindset.” There are reports that most young staff in the Trump administration had read it. It had become a piece of code passed back and forth, samizdat. Well, this is the idea that women, because of their lack of thymus and testosterone, are weak and empathetic and essentially the whole world has one kind of giant H.R. department telling you that you’re not allowed to do the things you wanted to do anymore, particularly the kind of things that young men want to do. And, I mean, I can understand why people feel like that. Again, I just, I find a huge amount of complacency I think has driven it. I don’t think people would be talking like that in a time when they had lost three of their eight children to a preventable disease before the age of 2. I don’t think they would have been talking about that when immediately after the First World War, right, when you could quite easily have lost four of your sons in a completely pointless advance two miles across France. This is an ideology that is born out of fat modernity itself, right? The luxury that they have to play with these ever so spicy ideas are because they’ve never lived these lives. I don’t think if you went over to somewhere that is currently in the middle of a conflict and you said to them, “Are you all enjoying this incredibly dangerous masculine experience that you’re having?” I think no, I think actually they’d like a stable food supply and peace. So it’s ironic that they talk about Fukuyama because this is what he predicted in “The End of History.” He said that you’re going to end up with people who are just bored, full of ennui, and they’re going to have to find things now to entertain themselves, because they don’t have the material deprivations and challenges that previous generations have. And that’s what I hear when I hear that. I hear, Oh, we’re all having a go at Karens on a podcast. Isn’t it so spicy? And you think, how is, what has this got to do with the Spartans? This is just a fake cosplay version of masculinity that everybody is kind of indulging in. These people could sign up to the army, they could go and serve in a war. And they’ve not chosen to do that. They’ve chosen to become podcasters. It’s interesting.
