This Popular Depiction of Alexander the Great Explains the Western Elite's Mindset

Alexander the Gay

Depicted: Alexander the Great (far left, with red plumes), with his hand on his gay lover (with blue/black plumes), seen meeting the family of King Darius of Persia, the oppressing patriarch. The meaning of the painting is: The enlightened homosexuals of the West have come to liberate the oppressed women of the East. Have you noticed how this theme persists into 2025 vis-à-vis China, Russia, and Iran?

You won’t understand a thing about Western elite mentality until you accept that they identify the most with Alexander the Great’s homosexuality. And that they see straight societies, such as those of Persia then, and Iran today, as sexually oppressed. Western aristocratic elites appear to inhabit a fantasy world in which they—as the gay sons of enlightened Western mothers—are somehow going to liberate the oppressed women of foreign nations from their patriarchal tyrants.

It leads to situations we recently saw in Egypt, where effete White Portland-Americans and Kensington-Brits gathered to protest for Gaza, only to be arrested and deported by their military after getting slapped in the face by Egyptian women. You may fancy you’re Alexander the Great, but in reality, the women of the East don’t want to be “liberated” by Western homosexuals. They are not really being oppressed. They are quite enjoying their strongmen. (The West could learn something.)

This reminds me of the movie Once Upon a Time in the West. That movie has a love scene featuring a bandit, played by old man Henry Fonda, and his prey, a young woman played by Claudia Cardinale. When I first saw that movie as an 8-year-old child, I thought the “bad man” was hurting the “motherly woman”. When I re-watched that move in my twenties, I now understood: “Wait, she’s enjoying getting fucked by the bandit, because she finds him hot.” Her moans were not meant as cries of pain, but as shrieks of joy.

As a child, I was sexually immature, and that’s why I “didn’t get it”. But Western aristocratic elites are just like that! They are immature and they “don’t get it”. Having never faced adversity, the inhabitants of the Western upper classes remain emotionally stunted people. This affords them the luxury to think that they, enlightened souls who have explored their feminine side, must now liberate the oppressed women of the East.

Basically, Western elites suffer from “protective boy complex”, i.e., they are the boy who thinks: “that bad man is hurting my mommy!” But mommy was very much enjoying that bad man’s encounter with her.

And this is still the theme of today: Western elites see spreading the LGBT disease to Russia, Iran, and China as their most divine mission. They are convinced that the women of these nations are being oppressed by evil, tyrannical men, somehow restricting women’s sexuality. If only they, the Knights of Gay, could save the women of the East, the women of the East would love us like our mothers would. 🤡

Truth be told, the women of the East will always prefer their own strongmen to the homosexuals of the West. Remember, the leader of NATO is now the homosexual man Mark Rutte. More likely, his mother is in charge.

There are many versions of the painting of Alexander and his Gay Lover saving the Oppressed Women of Persia. You will likely find a copy of this image in many of the palaces, castles, or manor houses throughout Europe. Our elites are not what we think they are. They are not knights and warriors. They are effete and criminal.

To show you how persistent this theme has been in Renaissance thinking, I’ll list a couple of them below:

• The Family of Darius before Alexander, by Paolo Veronese, 1570

• The family of Darius in front of Alexander, by Charles le Brun, 1661

• The family of Darius before Alexander the Great by Lazzaro Baldi, 1703

• Family of Darius Before Alexander, by Francesco Bontebassi, 1750

There’s another man today who thinks he’s Alexander the Great, saving the oppressed women of the East. Will you hold his hand?
