Netflix executives and the creators of the new hit show “Adolescence” are congratulating each other for helping to solve the problem of violence against women, while actually making the situation worse. The story is about the 13-year old boy Jamie who stabbed a girl from his school to death after she rejected him and called him an incel on Instagram. He gets arrested and questioned by police and psychologists. There isn’t any more actual plot than that.
Hundreds of millions of people worldwide have watched the four-episode miniseries by now which increases the already out-of-control distrust between people. Young girls and women have record levels of anxiety disorders and depression, so Netflix decided to fuel the paranoia that every boy is a massive danger. Congratulations, dear young female Netflix audience members: You are left with the choice between men who don’t qualify as men or no men at all.
For context: I have been married for 15 years and I have two children, a 14-year-old girl and a 10-year old boy. I got married when I barely owned anything and I’m only 5 foot 4 inches tall which never had been a problem for me at all in terms of relationships with women. I don’t judge issues by the standards and thought patterns of common ideologies. I know these ideologies inside out, how they are structured and how they were developed in association with various empires to keep the populations in line.
The only true value of the show stems from the performance of the actor Owen Cooper who plays the killer Jamie. You could observe that kid for hours with his delivery of dialogue, his body language and mannerisms. The other actors are decent but they are not utilized particularly well because the writing and the dialogue are mediocre. You get the standard trope of a stern police investigator that neglected his son. Jamie’s lower middle-class father who fixes toilets for a living and is extremely sad and surprised. The female shrink who falls apart emotionally just because Jamie gets angry during an assessment, even though she should be no stranger to violent crime cases.
And it really made no sense to use the gimmick of shooting every episode as one single take. They could have easily opted for a number of very long takes instead.
The show was inspired by real cases that bare only superficial similarities to the fictional plot: Elianne Andam was stabbed to death by a black 17-year old, not a 13-year-old white babyface. The killer’s name was Hassan Sentamu and he committed the crime during a trivial row over a teddy bear in full view of many other people.
If Netflix had any balls they could have cast a black kid as the killer and given the character a migrant background from a torn-up country like Libya. Our white European ancestors have been there done that. We had peaked in terms of violence and finally moved on.
The other inspiration came from the murder of 12-year old white girl Ava White who was drinking and goofing around with her female friends until a group of teen boys filmed them and intended to post the footage to Snapchat. The girls rushed towards the boys and a 14-year old stabbed the unarmed Ava. The boys then ran off, disposed some evidence and bought “butter for crumpets”.
Okay, newsflash: Science has known for generations about psychopathic and malignant narcissistic behavior. We are not going to learn anything new from a show like “adolescence” about this. Especially when Netflix intentionally cast the most handsome and charismatic baby-faced white boy actor they could find and ties everyting into a contemporary amateurish manipulative discussion about anti-female content on the web.
They could have cast a somewhat overweight clumsy white boy without a pretty face who plays a character who has dysfunctional parents. This would have changed the whole dynamic of the show, because everybody (including the female virtue signallers) knows that such teenage boys have no quality of life and no expectancy of quality of life. They will get treated like vermin by other males and females alike. Such a character will have experienced derision and hatred from a very early age onwards which is a high-risk environment that increases the probability of dysfunctions including low impulse-control and violence.
Instead we get the handsome character of Jamie. He doesn’t have terrific grades in school but is described as bright. With some guidance and effort, and smart career and life choices later on, someone like Jamie can outperform not just 80% of other men, but even more than that.
It’s the most absurd moment in the show when Jamie in episode 3 tells the female shrink that he considers himself to be straight-up “ugly”. BTW he’s also fairly tall for a 13-year-old. Within this context, Jamie essentially stabbed a girl to death because she wouldn’t go out with him and called him an incel on Instagram. And of course Jamie had looked at some “redpill”-style antifeminist content on the web.
The show tells us that any young teenage boy from a normal home is an untamed monster per se. All this creature needs is some bad influence and some female rejection for the demon to emerge.
The peasant mentality
Regardless what modern or past era you look at, regardless of what system or ideology, roughly 90% of people are essentially “peaseants” with no meaningful assets and no real clue about the world, no real expectancy of quality of life. This even happens in socialism. In the classic peasant serf system the young women were ordered to get married to a man and had a very hard life while the men were ordered to lead the miserable farming operation and could be called up as soldiers at virtually any moment. Men had the expectation of having a wife and sex with their wife, but that was about all the quality of life they could expect.
Today there is still a monumental problem with a lack of quality of life for the 90% of men and women. You are expected to work most of your time. Having children means a lot more extra work and risks. And then what is left? Watching bad Netflix shows? There is a very small number of TV shows and movies that are worth your time. You can watch all the good stuff that’s ever been made in a matter of weeks. Watching sports? Then there is consumerism. It’s important that nice things are getting made and those actually are part of what makes us happy. Yet it gets harder for the 90% to buy anything. Alcohol and drugs are stupid and destructive. Eating too much tasty food will make you miserable. And then there are human interactions, including sex. People need to have the ability and the skillset to increase the quality of life of others. That requires effort, strength, thought and trustworthiness.
Most peasant parents barely have that skillset. Once their children become early teenagers they have more sophisticated demands. Pizza and a movie doesn’t cut it anymore. The parents don’t make each other happy and don’t trust each other so the kids don’t learn how to be trustworthy and to increase the quality of life of others. The parents don’t rust their own kids and vice versa. Kids don’t trust other kids. Can you guess one major factor contributing to the probability of men committing violence against women? That factor is bad mothers. And what causes bad mothers? Bad mothers and bad fathers.
Peasants usually go with primitive dominance to judge who is “better”. And the most primitive form of dominance is the ability to decrease other people’s quality of life. There is almost no loyalty among peasants. We should be celebrating those who are the best at making others happy, yet we follow those who are best at making others miserable.
Rulers have cultivated this divide-and-conquer-technique to prevent uprisings but before you judge all past rulers, be aware that the peasants are not simply the good guys. Whenever an old system fell and peasants had the opportunity to join something new, they joined soviet socialism and national socialism and killed lots of people. All this leftwing glorification of the peasant was a simple cult method to get peasants to sign a contract with the Red Army and shoot other people.
In the Netflix show we can at least see that there is zero loyalty among all the kids. A girl can’t even give a semi-nude photo of herself to another boy without the photo getting passed around. The boys can’t trust other boys and girls. Girls can’t trust other girls and boys. None of these children have truly mastered any skill, besides the skill of decreasing other kids’ quality of life. It is a professional sport of making others miserable. And it’s peak stupidity when kids constantly do this to each other and expect quality of life for themselves. The field of criminology knows virtually all about various categories of homicides and the professional legal field also knows the difference between planned murders for sadistic pleasure or money, spontaneous outbursts of lethal violence and how to judge the attributes of the perpetrator and the circumstances of the crime. How many Netflix viewers are going to read some real books from these professional fields instead of judging these matters according to some primitive ideologies? Not many, because Netflix is for peasants.
Of course Jamie had no chance of getting a date with the girl because he is completely untrustworthy. I myself have a (very pretty) 14-year old daughter and she is appalled by the lack of trustworthiness she observes in boys her age. The girl in the Netflix show has no reason to trust the boys and the boys have no reason to trust her because she habitually exercises her skillset of decreasing other boys’ quality of life through cyber-bullying. No legal and law enforcement professionals will excuse someone for homicide because of previous bullying. We do have a highly dangerous legal grey area when it comes to “bullying” though. If adults observably behave like many teens and leave a trail of witnesses and other evidence they can expect prison time. Sharing nude images online, stalking, harassment etc. are all criminal offenses. We can’t just expect the government to solve these offenses among teens with the normal toolsets. And we certainly can’t expect Netflix shows to help solve these problems. And we can’t expect ideologies to solve them.
Please don’t ever attempt to brainwash young boys into believing their male nature is just bad behavior. That every bit of anger and every criticism of female behavior is the road to misogynistic hell. It’s one of the most celebrated yet objectively worst moments of the show when the female shrink in episode three falls apart emotionally after Jamie had two outbursts of anger during the evaluation session. Give me a break. Yes, we know he’s guilty. We know it’s horrendous. But she as a professional can’t fall apart like this. It’s like an emergency medicine professional with 10 years of experience who crumbles when a critically injured patient comes in.
You can watch many real police cases on Youtube stitched together from bodycam footage. There was one case of a (black) woman driver who hit several people on her 4th DUI, including a child, killing some of them. Surely she didn’t stab anybody in a fit of rage, but that’s not necessary at all to cause death. She played dumb immediately and assumed the role of a victim while the police officers on the scene remained strategically calm and polite because that’s the best way to get information out of the suspect that can be used in court. If a patrol officer with an average IQ of 100 and no degree in psychology can pull this off, why can’t the female shrink from “Adolescence” do this?
Jamie’s yelling scene is probably the most quoted snippet from the show. We’re supposed to think that he was just like that when he killed the girl. Oh, the male rage. Does the average Netflix viewer in his/her/them/their stupor remember at this point who arrested Jamie in the first episode? That’s right: Men with guns. That’s who you call.
Watch a real bodycam police case on Youtube where a female officer hesitates to open fire on a suspect who started shooting despite having the perfect angle. She rather radios “Shots fired” than fight while her partner keeps fighting despite sustaining a gunshot would to the side of his head.
Jamie is a kid that has been locked up for seven months in a loony bin and is terrified of the thought of spending way more time in there. Is is so hard for a professional shrink to say to Jamie: “I know it completely sucks. I know it’s absolutely crazy.” Any professional would use a dose of honesty and empathy and agreement to get more honest answers out the person that’s evaluated. Yes, Jamie killed a human being. But don’t be so surprised he yells twice, gets on his feet and hits his cup of cocoa with marshmallows.
The discussion of online “redpill” content is the next low. Can’t this professional say to Jamie that he’s objectively handsome? That she would have dated someone like him in her past, if he had been trustworthy and in control of himself? Girls need trustworthiness in boys just like boys need trustworthiness in girls? It’s OK to be horny, even at 13 years of age.
When sex is not about making babies it should be about increasing the quality of life for both of the sexual partners. It’s not rocket science. Unfortunately sex is dangerous, due to diseases, unwanted pregnancies and the lack of trustworthiness. It is a LOT to ask of a young girl to trust a boy with intimacy.
This “professional” shrink in the show is incapable of using a relaxed style of conversation and the art of agreeing to get a clearer picture of Jamie and determine if he’s a complete psychopath who should be in an institution for the longest possible time, or if he was on a downward spiral and there is a chance he can ultimately have some sort of meaningful life later on.
The shrink actually shows typical peasant behavior with all this passive-aggressive condescending questioning. Is it too much to ask from a professional questioning a kid from peasant hell to avoid peasant behavior? Then there is the improv moment: The actor of Jamie has to yawn and the actor who plays the shrink improvises the line “Am I boring you?” This is essentially the annoying peasant mentality of the actress spilling out. People don’t necessarily yawn because they are bored, but because they are tired. The character Jamie may very well not be sleeping well. So why use that patronizing, passive-aggressive line “am I boring you”? The shrink is supposed to get a clear picture of a boy who lived in peasant hell.
Actual interrogations are mostly not yelling, table-pounding, demeaning and threatening suspects. Professionals usually use a very polite style to get results. The shrink lady in the show however does the same thing that Jamie’s environment had done to him for ages: Suggesting to Jamie that he’s not “good enough”. That is the core of the sick peasant sport. Brainwashing others into believing they are just not good enough to be alive, to exist.
The shrink keeps pestering Jamie about his relationship with his father, as if the mother was not a potential source of the problem. When it’s been scientifically established for ages that terrible mothers are associated with violent boys.
I hate to say that peasants seem to score high on three attributes: Boring/weak-minded, dysfunctional and evil. Not everyone has all of these attributes or even just more than one. But that’s the situation we’re in and that we have to fix. Girls want to avoid boys that have those attributes. The dysfunctional and boring ones are easy to spot. The evil ones can be much harder to spot.
It’s not really just about the looks, the status and the money which women are after. They are desperately trying to find someone trustworthy and capable who does not have the three attributes. If they find one who is not boring, dysfunctional and evil, they can expect this boy or man to increase their quality of life. I’m only 5 foot 4 and that never was an issue. Yes, you absolutely objectively can convince girls even when you’re not a 6 foot tall finance bro “chad” caricature.
And, no surprise, we as men do not want women who are boring, dysfunctional and evil. When we get born into the peasant class we have little quality of life and little expectancy of quality of life later on from the onset. Many factors can further decrease our expectancy. The realization of no expectancy of quality of life is like a very bad medical diagnosis. Like having an incurable disease. We have empathy for people with a terrible diagnosis but almost no empathy for men who can expect zero quality of life. This is the true issue with Jamie, despite a handsome actor playing the character. If an overweight, not-handsome actor had played Jamie, the core problem would be more obvious to the viewer.
Relationships don’t happen for men when it seems they can’t increase a woman’s quality of life. Longterm relationships fail when partners fail to provide quality of life for each other on top of earning money and doing chores. Can you conjure up some magic even when it’s late and you’re tired? Can you do this over a very long period of time? Can you entertain in various ways? Most people can’t. Many men get married and have kids, they come home from work and can’t or won’t deliver anything on top of that. You can’t expect a woman to accept living the rest of her life with no real quality of life. It is what it is. Not all women who want a divorce are gold-digging villains. I don’t want my own daughter in a miserable situation later in life. Netflix, Disney and other corporations tell young women they can do anything without showing them really how to do it. Girls believe they have the in-built ability to handle work and/or raising kids and on top of that provide extra quality of life for a man. When they are then in the role of mother and/or have a regular job they often can’t provide anything extra. They solely focus on their own quality of life and demand the man works every single waking hour to improve the quality of life for the woman and the kids. The women fall back into the standard peasant behavior and treat their men in the typical peasant fashion. This is a worst-case scenario for the men because they risked so much and worked so hard to get quality of life just to end up with none. Women expect men to live as if they had a terrible disease. Gone is the trust. Back in peasant hell. When partners break up and look for new partners they will likely find new peasants.
If you can’t reliably provide the extra magic for a long time you are incapable of real relationships. You just can’t do it. Just like you can’t climb the highest mountains on earth. Imagine I was obsessed with the idea of being a mountain climber. I don’t have the strenth or stamina or experience for it but I desperately want to do it anyway and keep failing. Do you expect talk therapy, social media activism or others giving me more “emotional security” will give me the ability to climb serious mountains?
Adolescence is making things worse. It’s a trigger fest to get the peasants to trust each other less. The writer, who also plays the lower middle-class father who fixes toilets for a living, can be seen in promo interviews wearing a watch that looks to me like a Rolex Daytona which costs tens of thousands of dollars and requires a spot on a waiting list. I have nothing against Rolex watches, and Daytonas are super-pretty to look at and can increase your quality of life. But it’s clear that the writer is not of the peasant class and gets paid well for getting the peasants to trust each other less.
The biggest bully my daughter had ever encountered in kindergarden was a girl from an above-average middle-class home. There was a constant stream of typical bullying behavior and escalating moments of violence. One day, while I was picking up my daughter, this bully girl demanded some snacks and my daughter polite declined because it was just before lunchtime. The bully suddenly exploded with an act of violence that clearly crossed the line. Can you guess where in later years the biggest psychological pressure against my daughter came from? Other girls. My daughter was better in school than them. She became much prettier than them. I installed a heated swimming pool for her in our garden. The peasant girls tried the usual routine in an attempt to make her feel worse. My daughter’s ambition is to study medicine and get as far away as possible from peasant hell. Sure, the upper 10% of society can also be dangerous. But we’re just done with the peasants.
