Escape From The Longhouse
What Does The Matriarchal Owned Space of Prehistory Have To Do With You
What is The Longhouse?
If you follow me on Twitter you will have seen me use the phrase “the longhouse,” and have probably wondered what it means. It is a phrase buried in the deep lore of the online right, and at the risk of being both pedantic and boring and thus sapping the fun that gives the online right so much energy, I will attempt to explain it. In the pre-history of the mesolithic period, at the same time many of the events of the Old Testament were unfolding, there lived people in stultifying, smothering matriarchal civilizations, typified by a life of squalor packed inside a longhouse. They worshiped hideous, obese deities like Venus of Willendorf (below):
It is easy to confuse the term “longhouse” with that of great warrior societies like the Iroquois or Vikings. That is not what the term means. Imagine instead living in your college dormitory, surrounded by strangers packed together, but instead of being housed in separate rooms you can call your own, such a concept of “privacy” and “personal property” does not exist and instead you all live together in your college’s basketball arena. You are surrounded by trash, human waste and body fluids, disease, filth, and squalor. It is the civilization of the homeless tent city, refugee zone, or FEMA camp. The Longhouse is the globalist dream. You will own nothing and like it! You will live in the pod and eat the bugs.
And it was not just that the residents of the longhouse lived lives of total subservience and destitution, they were also ruled by a soul-crushing matriarchy. Imagine, again being packed in that arena, living with hundreds of total strangers, and always over your shoulder is a capricious DMV lady deciding between sips of her Big Gulp whether you live or die. A place where you are completely boxed in and then dominated by a smothering matriarchy. THAT is the Longhouse.
The longhouse was totally and utterly destroyed by steppe peoples armed with chariots and bronze weaponry. Men who lived entirely on meat and yogurt, who put these societies to sword and fire. What would become Europe was liberated from the Longhouse free barbarians who knew no boundaries and lived a life of pure excitement, adventure, and conquest.
It isn’t hard to see why the concept of the Longhouse has quickly gained popularity with the online right. It captures life in the 21st Century with alarming accuracy. For the young man in our society, every square inch of space is owned. You are locked inside the Longhouse, smothered by the matriarchy, everything you do, say, or think is monitored as if you were in a giant open-air gulag operated by a million Dana Carvey church ladies.
For the young Christian man, there is no respite from the Longhouse within even ostensibly conservative evangelicalism.
