197 - Ghost In The Machine

The youtube user known as Ghost in the Machine has decided to share his story with me. So I'll be reading his tale of MGTOW Profiles series. This is a series of prominent men going their own way and recapping their story. This is what Ghost in the machine has to say: "I watched a video suggested by Sandman called: MGTOW like ghosting... (the ghost nation) by f3m h8r and a quote from the video reads, “Men who have been pushed to the margins in so many ways have simply elected to disappear. I call these men The Ghost Nation.” This video struck a nerve with me personally so I decided to write this story. I am a private person and normally do not like talking about myself or my life, but perhaps this once I will in the hopes it might help men who are being pushed to the margins of society and see no escape. I will forgo telling my complete story as it would bore me and likely bore you. I will instead, only hit on the small events that led to my escape into the Ghost Nation. These small snapshots of my life will tell you much more about what it is to Ghost than a lengthy story. The beginning: I was a normal young man leading a normal politically correct life. Then there was a divorce and a physical illness that brought this normal life to an end in the space of a year. I was abandoned by my family, friends and society. I was a male utility that no longer had any use to women or society so I was thrown into the landfill of discarded men. Let me show you how I escaped to the Ghost Nation. It was in the 80s. It had been five years since my divorce and the start of my illness. I regained some of my health. I felt at that point in my life that I could rebuild my former life if I wanted. But, I saw not one path, but two paths before me. One path led back to my old plantation life of marriage and a steady job. The second path led to the Ghost Nation. It’s what we used to call, “Dropping out.” You might ask why I even considered the second path? It was because I knew by then that my view of the world, that society had imprinted on my mind since I was a child, was a complete lie. Society had abandoned me when I was physically and mentally broken and desperately in need of help, and it was still fresh in my memory. The shock of being discarded had destroyed all my illusions about society and women.3 Photos For Video: Sources with Proof of Commercial Licenses Attached (Editorial Use - Photos in Order of Appearance)Jody McNary - Come This Wayhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/2799912...https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...ramos alejandro - Ghost in mehttps://www.flickr.com/photos/mondi/4...https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...Nicolas DECOOPMAN - Behind the Window #5 - The Ghosthttps://www.flickr.com/photos/koopsdk...https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/mgtow/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
