Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.
–Philip K. Dick
That is a popular aphorism on the Dissident Right, because it stands in stark contrast to the dominant ideology of our age. The people who rule over us are committed to the belief that says reality will yield to wishful thinking. In fact, they deny reality exists as an objective, measurable thing. That’s where the idea of social construct arises. Our betters are sure that what we foolishly perceive as reality is just an illusion, an artifact of cultural conditioning. If they can convince enough people of this, then observable reality changes.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

This is the true divide in the West and why BoomerCons, BuckleyCons, Libertarians and Civic Nationalists are in the same ideological set as Progressives. They accept these assumptions about reality, just with some reservations. The Dissident Right, in contrast, rejects this entirely. Reality, particularly biological reality, is transcendent and independent of human observation. The world as we observe it is quantifiable and measurable. More important, it is largely immune to any tinkering we can do in the short run.
This is most true when it comes to human biology. John Derbyshire did a whole presentation on this at AmRen from the perspective of race. Race realism is just a subset of biological realism. The natural differences between the sexes, IQ differences and personality differences are other aspects. It is why “improving your mindset” sounds laughably ridiculous to someone like me. Your “mindset” is a product of your biology, your genetic makeup. You can no more change it than make yourself taller.
The fact that reality is undefeated, besting all comers, does not stop the cult that rules over of us from continuing to make war on biology.This story is the latest example of how they will destroy the military trying to prove that sex is a social construct.
A number of U.S. Army drill sergeants at Fort Benning, Georgia, have been temporarily suspended from their duties following allegations of sexual misconduct with trainees, the Army base said on Wednesday.
Investigators looking into an initial sexual assault allegation by a female trainee against a drill sergeant at the fort uncovered other incidents of alleged sexual misconduct, prompting a wider investigation, the base said in a statement.
A spokesman declined to say how many drill sergeants had been suspended as part of the investigation, but the statement indicated it was more than one.
Cracking down on sexual assault has been a priority for several years in the U.S. military, which reported in May that anonymous surveys in 2016 found that 14,900 service members experience some kind of kind of sexual assault in 2016, from groping to rape. That was down from 20,300 in 2014, according to the surveys, which are conducted every two years.
People who accept biological reality know it is a lethally stupid idea to have male drill instructors working with female trainees. Men like women, especially young women and they are wired to use every trick in the book to gain access to females. Setting up a situation where males have power over young females in this way, invites the sort of thing the military says they are trying to stop. Having girls in the army is debatable, but if you are, they need to be protected from the males.
Of course, females are wired to seek the attention of high status males. In boot camp, there is no one with higher status to the recruits than the drill instructor. That’s the whole point of the arrangement. The idea is to break down the recruits and build them back up into soldiers. Putting a male in charge of females is going to have the females competing with one another for the attention of their instructor. This is ground floor biology. Even the most disciplined males will be tempted at some point to say yes to the offer.
Again, this is not a new thing. The people putting males in charge of female recruits are the same people putting girls on Navy ships and then acting surprised when the girls get knocked up at sea. Currently, 16% of deployed females aboard ship are pregnant. You cannot serve on a Navy vessel while pregnant so it means these females are reassigned to shore duty. Overall, females in the Navy are 50% more likely to be reassigned to land duty than males, so it is not just pregnancy. It is biological reality.
This means that just about every ship in the fleet has a readiness problem, due to the lack of trained personnel. The Navy has a rule requiring every ship to be at least 25% female, so that means vessels cannot be deployed, because of the shortage of female sailors who are not pregnant. This 25% rule was just implemented. That’s why the pregnancy rates have gone up. It also means the rising pregnancy problem did not result in a reevaluation of the policy. Instead it was met with a new effort to prove that biology is not real.
The thing with the new religion is that it is always at odds with its stated goals. The simple solution to the pregnancy problem is to require all females to be on Norplant. This solves the pregnancy problem. Not only is this never suggested, doing so would set off howls from the cult about sexism. The reason is that such a requirement would require accepting biological reality. Instead of solving the problem or at least mitigating it, the cult prefers to wage a losing battle against biology, destroying the military in the process.
There is a reason reality is undefeated.
“The fact that reality is undefeated, besting all comers, does not stop the cult that rules over of us from continuing to make war”- with it.

Reality is that transgenders are the solution to the problem, no problem at all. The cult being happy solving problems, always creates other problems, and “the beat goes on”!

Don’t expect much MSM coverage of it.
Biological reality. Now there’s a meaty subject. Here is my personal biological reality. Each aspect of which is paired with its philosophical/political outflow. Ready? Here we go.
I’m of the Caucasian persuasion. White through and through. That makes me inherently racist. The lack of melanin in my biology requires me to spend my days oppressing people of color. I don’t like it, but I have to meet the racist quota required by my biological reality. Worse yet, I’m of Celtic stock (British Isles mostly) and my family has been in North America since 1634 so I don’t think I qualify as an immigrant, a status that might somewhat mitigate my whiteness. Damn, those pesky Puritan ancestors screwed me again!
I am male. I’m not chromosomally challenged. I have a penis and everything. My biological reality is testosterone-based, not estrogen-fueled, so I am obviously a member of the patriarchy. Because of these restrictions, I am required to keep women in their place, which is fine unless you’re married to my wife. The Queen of the Underbrush will have none of that shit thank you.
I am in my late fifties, which makes me a reactionary. I hate everybody (even the normals). The young are by and large an annoyance up with which I put (except of course my granddaughters who are very cute and relatively unspoiled by the degenerate culture that surrounds them). Give their lunatic liberal Mother time, though, and I’m sure that will change.
I am healthy. No phony disabilities (thank you ADA). I keep doctors at arms length with a modicum of exercise. I take no pills of any kind. Oh, I’m also six feet tall and my weight is in the acceptable range. Because of these physical shortcomings I’m sure to hate all fatties, cripples, lepers, and fibromyalgia sufferers.
I’m reasonably sound of mind, which makes me intolerant of mental illness masquerading as gender fluidity, and sexual relationships which involve one man looking at another man’s hairy ass and thinking, “I gotta get some o dat!” I’m still out on the whole lesbian thing, but only for the attractive ones. The fat, ugly ones are just…well…fat and ugly. I suppose the demands of intellectual honesty require me to be against Sapphic escapades as well. Damn it!
I could go on, but I think those are the main pillars of my biological reality. Perhaps someday during my future stay at the Re-education camp and spa, I will unlearn some of the badthink that flows naturally from my genetics. Instead, I think I’ll just fall back on the most cogent and concise response I’ve come across lately. When challenged about why I am the way I am, I will simply say, “Because fuck you that’s why!”
Have a grand, biologically real day everyone.
xrugger your next to last paragraph inspired this:
Simple reality: homosexuality is a disorder in the family of sociopathic spectrum. A narcissistic manifestation of obsession with one’s own image and likeness; hence a partner of the same gender.
Here’s a list of synonyms for narcissist:
vanity self-love self-admiration self-absorption egotism conceit self-importance selfishness self-centeredness arrogance assurance boastfulness boasting bragging conceitedness ego egoism egomania gasconade haughtiness insolence ostentation overconfidence presumption pride self-confidence self-interest self-possession self-regard self-worship superiority vainglory amour-propre egocentricity swellheadedness vainness vaunting
A narcissist is someone who is arrogant, an exhibitionist, vain, manipulative, and greedy for admiration. Often caused by childhood trauma and PTSD. Narcissists do not do well with sharing, especially when it comes to relationships and friendships do to their need of attention and admiration. They crave attention and often get jealous when others receive it more than them. Narcissist cannot be helped because they usually do not know that they are narcissistic.
Might I suggest you two investigate the pleasures of a rusty chainsaw.
“…Simple reality: homosexuality is a disorder in the family of sociopathic spectrum. A narcissistic manifestation of obsession with one’s own image and likeness; hence a partner of the same gender….”
bullshit
I know, right? So many buttholes, so few rusty chainsaws.

Well said, xrugger.
About six months ago, I read that the left will eliminate Biology from education. Maybe Betsy DeVos will stop the process.
Hey Z,
I love yer stuff, but please leave libertarians off your list. What the heck makes you think libertarians believe in malleable reality? Maybe some phony libertarians, but real libertarians like Jordan Peterson (a realist). BTW, the old and great underground rag in the day was “The Realist”, a libertarian rag.
“Your “mindset” is a product of your biology, your genetic makeup. You can no more change it than make yourself taller.”
I’m living proof that this is false. I am every bit as much a product of the choices I’ve made as I am my biology. My choices dictate my mindset. I can choice to react to bad events with despair, blame, guilt and hate or I can choose to see the bright side. I can choose to work or not, choose to eat healthy food or junk food, choose to hold my head high, stand up straight and look people in the eye or not, choose to tell the truth or lie, choose to be kind or cruel. I will not deny that in general, some races and some cohorts of society, on average, tend to make better choices than others. But, at the individual level, every single one of us is autonomous and the product of our choices to a much greater degree than we are the product of our biology.
No have no choice with your biology (genes); and about 50:50 with biology vs choice (much less when it’s social norms vs biological reality like if you’re a guy on a ship and haven’t had sex in six months and you are on a paired night watch with a normally horny female; if the odds are 50:50, you’re a queer).
Too bad a deep, earnest subject like this topic, which is worthy of extended discussion, got hung up on pregnant females aboard ships…
The problem is gay Women because they present the same challenge as Male instructors. Everybody wants to fuck someone/thing.
“Everybody wants to fuck someone/thing.”
Have you considered this may in fact not be true?
Reality : 13.3 % of Americas population have an average IQ of 85 . This group requires 50% of government services supplied by confiscating earned wealth from the bulk percentage of citizenry and re distributing it to that 13.3% . Somehow that 13.3% are equal to the majority yet they are placed on that untouchable pedastol in our society . Billions in set aside education funds , job placements the list goes on . This group some how makes up more than 30% of government employees boosting this low IQ group into the middle class of America . And look at the results everywhere this group is in control or patronized as some model of success ????
You can change reality; engineers do it all the time. Ideas, calculations, blueprints, a factory or chemical plant or oil refinery is now there which wasn’t five years ago.
The difference: the engineers do it with scientific principles, mathematics, proven designs when possible, off-the-shelf equipment if available (someone else’s ideas, calcs, …), rigorous planning and careful monitoring all the way along. It’s hard but doable.
The LEFT and liberals want to do it by wishing. Fiat lux: let there be light, equality, fraternity, sorority, homosexual equivalence, pedophilia, it’s all good. But it isn’t; and lacking both omniscience and omnipotence, they fret when the results are evil, hate and despair.
They might as well cast spells, magic works as well as their intentions do (that is, not at all).
“The LEFT and liberals want to do it by wishing.”
Any support for this assertion? Prominent left/liberal people that claim “I plan to make this change by just wishing”?
“pedophilia, it’s all good.”
Ah, your one of those “any sexual behavior I do not understand eventually leads to pedophilia” people. Nevermind.
You seem to confuse reality with politics.
The things you claim are biological reality are in fact just your typical racist and sexist right wing political views that either lack scientific support or contradict scientific findings.
“People who accept biological reality know it is a lethally stupid idea to have male drill instructors working with female trainees.”
Translates to “I cannot maintain professional relationships with women, I cannot imagine other men can maintain such relationships so therefore I think this is a bad idea”. You completely ignore all the men that CAN maintain professional relationships simply because you cannot imagine they exist. You also seem to think that the experiences of a person as a child has no influence on the behavior of that person as an adult. Therefore you think; born a man (like yourself), always a sexual predator that has no self control.
It’s just a big argumentum ad incredulum / ignorantiam.
Prove me wrong; reference the scientific research that proves your point. Or you can just keep ignoring reality and call me a fag/cuck or whatever the new hip right wing slur is for anyone that disagrees.
