The Perils of Being Overcivilised: Much of the time, violence IS the answer
by Theophilus Chilton / Apr 09, 2025
https://neociceroniantimes.substack.com/p/the-perils-of-being-overcivilised
At least once a day on my X feed, there will be some story posted from somewhere in Europe, the USA, or another part of the civilised world about a heinous crime or deadly act of negligence committed by some piece of biotrash from the third world. Accompanying this will be the statement, “we shouldn’t have to live like this.” A common sentiment, to be sure, and one which is gradually becoming more and more widespread, even among normies. As the attempted replacement of White people in their own lands with violent, low IQ third worlders continues apace, it’s going to become even frequent (both the violence and the sentiment).
Now, much of the reason why these acts of violence and crime take place is because of the trend toward depolicing and the decriminalisation of, well, crime that has become de rigueur across the Western world. There is a definite ideological reason for why progressive leftists push this trend, and the history of the Left from the French Revolution through the Russian Revolution to the present testifies to their use of criminals as “enforcers” against the kulaks. The purpose is to create a two-tiered justice system which disadvantages the law-abiding and those who exercise legitimate self-defence. The West has been moving in that direction for years and this was just recently formally codified into the UK’s legal system.
But just as relevant to this discussion is the fact that pretty much every Western nation on Earth has been thoroughly longhoused by decades of prosperity, decadence, and feminism. The imposition of the human resources regime at every level of government has thoroughly hogtied the ability of Western peoples to respond either politically or demotically to violent interlopers. Doing so would be “mean.” We have to be “welcoming.” Indeed, we need to prefer these people over and against our own people, even our own families. So the next time some homeless schizophrenic walks around the subway swinging his arms randomly at other people, just grin and bear it. You wouldn’t want to hurt his feelings, after all.
The commenters are right - we shouldn’t have to live like this. Yet we do. Why? Because we’ve become over-civilised, too afraid to utilise legitimate violence in the times and places where it would be appropriate and even necessary. It all goes back to a distinction we need to make between “chivalry” and “manners.” Both of these are social technologies which are intended to maintain decorum within civil society at the demotic level. By that, I mean that they are designed to enforce proper behaviour and ways of conducting oneself.
Chivalry, in one form or another (the term should be understood beyond the narrow medieval sense of the word), is the masculine way of maintaining social decorum. Men protect their women, men enforce proper behaviour from other men, men act to nullify dyscivilisational activities that would tear down society and endanger those under their protection. Not just during the Middle Ages, but well into modernity this was the norm in Western societies, from Prussian duels to Old Western gunfights. A threat to the community provoked an “immune response” from the men who acted, often violently, to stop that threat. This is an entirely good and right response, and though this type of masculinity would be described in some circles as “toxic,” we should understand that it is anything but.
(cont'd)
On the other hand, “manners” is what happens when a society becomes effeminised and starts working to suppress genuine masculinity. With the rise of female social and political power in the 19th century (women’s suffrage was part, but certainly not all of this), the longhouse began the transition to “manners” at the popular level. While chivalry is concerned with right behaviour, manners are concerned with right appearance. Societies for “social improvement” sought to teach the commoners how to be “nice,” which fork to use and when so as to appear genteel, essentially inculcating the types of behaviours valued by schoolmarms and society ladies. Certainly, schoolboys should not be allowed to settle their differences on the playground using fisticuffs. That’s just not nice! There’s a direct line from browbeating by Victorian scolds to the type of idiotic “zero tolerance” policies seen in our publik skoolz today.
The problem with manners-driven societies is that they are eminently hackable by bad actors. Because the overarching drive is to be “nice” and “welcoming,” playing the victim immediately ingratiates you to such people. Sure, you might be sexually trafficking thousands of the natives’ children, but if you call your critics “racist,” then you can get away with it. indeed, in most Western societies today, the focus has turned to finding ways to stop the men in those societies from acting chivalrously to prevent the criminal-victim classes from acting on their baser impulses. In decades past, Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny would have been lauded as heroes who acted entirely appropriately given their circumstances. Now, because they were “mean,” they are condemned by large chunks of our population.
So we find ourselves in a situation where Britons are forced to tolerate Pakistani grooming gangs, Germans are forced to tolerate Muslims driving cars into large public gatherings, Americans are forced to tolerate our underclass of dysfunctional black and brown criminals, and so on.

New Information Reveals Just How Much the FBI Was Trying to Protect Hunter Biden

The Setup: A Secret Pact with China. The "tariff war" with China is not what people think.
In the shadows of global power, Donald Trump and Chinese leadership have forged a secret alliance. The 34% or higher tariffs China imposed on the U.S. aren’t retaliation—they’re a staged act in a geopolitical drama.
The Setup: A Secret Pact with China:
"In the shadows of global power, Donald Trump and Chinese leadership have forged a secret alliance. The 34% tariffs China imposed on the U.S. aren’t retaliation—they’re a staged act in a geopolitical drama. Trump and China are partners, targeting the real enemy: the European/UK financial elites, known as the “deep state globalists.” These elites control institutions like the Bank of England and the European Central Bank, manipulating global markets to siphon wealth from the U.S. through trade agreements and financial schemes, keeping America economically subservient while they hoard riches offshore.
Trump, aware of this since his first term via classified briefings, knew a direct attack on these elites would fail—they’re too entrenched, shielded by political puppets in London and Brussels. So, he devised a plan: use China as a proxy to create chaos in global markets, forcing the deep state to reveal their weaknesses in a high-stakes economic game.
The Chess Game: Tariffs as a Market Trap:
The 34% tariffs from China, paired with Trump’s threat of 50% tariffs, are designed to disrupt the global economy. Trump knows the European/UK elites have billions invested in U.S. and Chinese markets. By staging this tariff escalation, he forces them to react—moving money, adjusting portfolios, and exposing their strategies. It’s a chess game, with Trump three moves ahead.
Step 1: Create Panic. The tariff threats spark market volatility. U.S.-China trade stocks—like tech and manufacturing—plummet. The elites, fearing losses, shift assets to “safe” havens: gold, cryptocurrencies, or markets they control.
Step 2: Track the Moves. Trump, with U.S. intelligence loyalists, monitors every financial move, logging transactions and offshore transfers. The elites think they’re outsmarting the chaos, but they’re walking into a trap.
Step 3: Strike When Vulnerable. Once the elites overcommit, Trump and China “resolve” the trade war on April 9th, 2025, with a surprise deal. Markets rebound, but the elites, having bet against the market, face massive losses. Trump’s allies in the U.S. and China buy up devalued assets—companies, real estate, and more—at a fraction of their worth.
The Endgame: Dismantling the Deep State.
With the elites weakened, Trump dismantles their power. The “other countries” he mentions—Russia, India, Saudi Arabia—share grudges against the Western financial system. Trump forges new trade alliances, bypassing the European/UK-centric order. The deep state loses control of the IMF and World Bank, which Trump reforms into America-first systems, rewriting global finance rules.
The Secret Alliance with China: A Double Bluff:
The twist: China isn’t the enemy—it’s Trump’s partner. They’ve allied to take down the European/UK deep state. China gains new markets and a weaker Western system, while Trump breaks globalist control, fulfilling his “Make America Great Again” vision. The tariff war is a distraction, hiding the real plan.
Why the Deep State Falls for It:
The European/UK elites underestimate Trump, seeing him as impulsive, not strategic. They believe the tariff war is real, reacting predictably and exposing their vulnerabilities. Trump’s rhetoric about China’s “abuses” is theater, keeping the public and media distracted while the real game unfolds.
The Wildest Twist: A New World Order:
With the deep state’s empire in ruins, Trump and China reshape global trade, dominating as partners. The European/UK elites are sidelined, their influence shattered. Trump’s “negotiations with other countries” form a new economic bloc, excluding London and Brussels. The deep state scrambles to survive, while Trump cements his legacy as the man who toppled the world’s invisible rulers—under the guise of a trade war."

Trump issued a new executive order in late March on the “Immediate Declassification of Materials Related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s
Crossfire Hurricane Investigation.” In it, Trump referenced the prior thwarted executive order of his from his final full day in office during his first
term, with Trump saying last month that “I have determined that all of the materials referenced in the Presidential Memorandum of January 19, 2021…are no
longer classified.”
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/immediate-declassification-of-materials-related-to-the-federal-bureau-of-investigations-crossfire-hurricane-investigation/
Trump’s January 2021 order mentioned a binder of materials related to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that Trump said the Justice Department
provided to the White House at his request on Dec. 30, 2020.
“I hereby declassify the remaining materials in the binder. This is my final determination under the declassification review and I have directed the
Attorney General to implement the redactions proposed in the FBI’s January 17 submission and return to the White House an appropriately redacted copy,”
Trump had said on Jan. 19, 2021.
The 2021 memo from Trump noted he had “determined that the materials should be declassified to the maximum extent possible.” But the FBI said in
mid-January 2021 that the bureau had “identified the passages that it believed it was most crucial to keep from public disclosure.”
https://web.archive.org/web/20210120004421/https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-declassification-certain-materials-related-fbis-crossfire-hurricane-investigation/
The Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland never released the records despite the declassification order from Trump and the
last-minute memo from Meadows. It remains to be seen when the Justice Department and FBI will follow through on Trump’s new executive order —
and how much new information will be made public.
