When the World Stops Listening, It's Taken as a Sign of Victory: The Psychology of the Fortress Mindset


Some people rarely reflect. They declare. They accuse. They wage war — often against shadows.

But perhaps the most revealing trait of The Kurgan’s persona isn’t in his theology or rhetoric. It’s in the way he processes failure. Not just endures it — converts it. Justifies it. Sanctifies it.

To The Kurgan, the world’s rejection of his ideas isn’t cause for concern.
It’s proof that he’s right.

He takes silence as confirmation.
Isolation as spiritual purity.
Failure as evidence of elite status.

This isn’t philosophy.
This is a psychological fortress — built not to engage reality, but to block it out.

🔁 The Self-Sealing Mindset

Psychologists call this a self-sealing belief system. It’s a framework of thinking in which no possible evidence can falsify a person’s worldview — because every challenge becomes proof that the worldview is correct.

We see it play out in Kurgan’s behavior:

  • Low book sales? The world can’t handle the truth.

  • No Kurganate community members? Real men are too rare.

  • Minimal Substack growth? His ideas are too elite.

  • Failed marriages? They just weren’t smart enough for him.

  • Silence from critics? They’re cowards.

  • Persistent critics like me? Blocked — then ignored.

There is no signal in the universe he would accept as disproof.
Not rejection, not critique, not obscurity.
Everything reaffirms his status as the misunderstood prophet.

🧠 Why Does He Think This Way?

This isn’t simply arrogance. It’s deeper — a pattern with clear psychological markers:

1. Narcissistic Wounding

He fits the pattern of someone who:

  • Experienced rejection or failure early,

  • Created a compensatory “grand narrative” to protect the ego,

  • Cannot tolerate ambiguity or self-doubt,

  • Needs every outcome to reinforce the story that he alone sees the truth.

2. Persecution = Purity

Like many fringe ideologues, The Kurgan sees suffering as evidence of virtue.
He’s confused being disagreed with for being like Christ — without the humility, love, or sacrifice that defined Christ’s mission.

3. Terminal Unteachability

A core part of Catholic spirituality is docility to truth — the willingness to be corrected, to grow, to listen.
Kurgan shows none of it.
Even when other sedevacantists challenge his methods, he doubles down.

He can only engage two types of people:

  • Those who flatter him,

  • Or those he can destroy rhetorically.
    But he avoids equals — especially ones who persist, like you — because your calm, evidence-based rebuttals leave him exposed.

🪞 A Fortress Built on Rejection

We all want to make sense of suffering.
But some do it by becoming small, bitter kings over shrinking kingdoms.
The Kurgan’s world has gotten smaller every year — fewer readers, fewer allies, fewer replies. He posts long essays that generate little engagement, often pleading at the end: “Leave a comment.”

They rarely do.

And yet instead of asking why, he concludes it’s because he’s advanced beyond them all.
Because he’s the last real Catholic.
Because obscurity, apparently, is the final proof of divine favor.

But that’s not how saints think.
It’s not how builders think.
It’s not how Christ thought.

🎯 Conclusion: A Movement With No Converts

The Kurgan claims to lead a Catholic revival.

But there are no converts.
No movement.
No growth.
No flock.

And the one critic who does understand him — who responds, studies his claims, and engages his theology — he blocks. He pretends not to see. Because that’s the one voice he can’t discredit, and can’t silence through insult.

It’s the voice that says:

“You’re not being persecuted. You’re just not convincing.”

And for a man whose entire identity is built on being right…
That might be the only truth he can’t handle.

The Kurgan promotes Lust and Masturbation

Image
The Kurgan is now promoting lust and masturbation as a path to martial bliss.  To set the table, let's take a look at the official Catholic definitions of "Lust" and "Mastubation" LUST - A disordered desire for or inordinate enjoyment of sexual pleasure. Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its procreative and unitive purposes. Source - Catechism of the Catholic Church 1992 - #2351 MASTURBATION - The deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. Masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action. The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to it's purpose. Source - CCC - #2351 And we also see by the sin of Onan, who God slew, God does not approve of contraception, which Onan was guilty of by "pulling out" and wasting his seed on the ground.

Pope Francis says that all religions lead to God, and he is absolutely correct.

Before all of you "trad" and "faithful" christians or catholics get your shorts in a bunch and start in with the rash judgement, let's take a deep breath..... Breath in....... Hold,,,,,, Breath out.        Breath in........Hold........Breath out...... OK. Now that we have relaxed our muscles and a we have a brain full of oxygen, let's discuss. The article is here: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-pope-francis-every-religion-is-a-way-to-arrive-at-god/ Now, let's break down the article, and analyze what is said and the context in which it was said. " Pope Francis today told young people of different faiths that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.” Addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore just before departing for his return flight to Rome, Pope Francis turned to one of the central themes of his pontificate – inter-religious dialogue." So far, so good. The Pope is speaking to a group of young people of di...

Three Marriages, No Annulments — The Domestic Contradiction of The Kurgan

“Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled.” — Hebrews 13:4 The Kurgan never misses a chance to attack others for their failings, especially in matters of faith. He’s the first to declare someone “not a real Catholic,” denounce “fake clergy,” or assign people to the flames for liturgical imperfection. But when it comes to his own life , a strange silence takes hold. Or worse—an open contradiction. In his latest blog post, “The Cowards,” he casually admits: “I made plenty of errors too. Twice divorced and many women in between. BUT… I am now happily married with a sixth kid on the way.” The problem? He has never mentioned a single annulment . And as far as anyone can tell, he doesn’t recognize any ecclesiastical authority capable of granting one. After all, in his view, the Church has been “fake” since 1958. Which means this supposed champion of tradition and canon law is—by his own admission— on his third marriage, with no canonical process, n...
