The only “sexuality” a pre-pubescent child has is one that is imposed on them.

Academic Agent teaches his wife about the “dismal science”. 🤣

Me: You don’t get anything in this world for free.

Mrs AA: That’s a bit pessimistic, what about enjoying a sunny day and looking at some flowers?

Me: Technically you pay an opportunity cost for those things too.

If I were Bill Kristol I would think, "I already spend all my time advocating for war... Maybe I should just duck out of the pedo debate."

But, no!

Stop advocating for the sexualisation of children and people will stop calling you a pedo.

We had been planning this long before, but by happy coincidence our Mrs. RadLib stream on Saturday will fit nicely into these recent conversations about the formation of good character in men.

I recommend this segment from Nathan Hood as prep for our talk.

It is snowing this April morning here in St. Louis.

So I’m feeling grief about him again.

When my wife wrote “The Evil of Dating” 20 years ago, it got more of a reaction than anything I ever wrote.

I’m very excited for us to follow that up tomorrow with a stream about courtship.

Major prep for this one… All our lives you might say! 🙃

And here’s that article by her from 20 years ago:

My wife and I close to the time she wrote that article 20 years ago.

We’re with some politician. 🙃

"...they're entirely reliant on other people to see things for them."

It's just astonishing when you compare this to the scrutiny that Trump was subjected to by the MSM. If he had done something like this just once, we would still be hearing about it now, five years later. It would possibly have been used as the basis for impeaching him. It would certainly have been used to discredit him - mercilessly and relentlessly. With Biden, he does this kind of thing regularly, and the MSM say nothing.

Obviously this isn't surprising or baffling. I'm just... amazed by the contrast. It shows in startling clarity that:
a) the MSM craft narratives, and
b) the public swallow those narratives, no matter how detached they are from blatant self-evident reality.

Probably they believe that it is completely unremarkable to have a babbling, drivelling president of America - it must be unremarkable, because the media haven't remarked upon it. So, it just becomes normality - something not even worth noticing, and therefore not even noticed, and if noticed duly forgotten - that the most powerful man in the world is obviously mentally disabled.

We've got a literal retard in the White House and nobody can see it, because they're entirely reliant on other people to see things for them.

I really appreciate what the RadLib family is doing. Young people need more examples like them. https://youtu.be/0aa6hvkXXaI

I share Joel’s dissatisfaction with digging too far back for an explanation of recent events:

We have been developing an alternate story to his in telling the story of the triumph of the “American System” starting in 1861.

There is a tendency with dissident right-wingers to trace our political problems back to some intellectual development hundreds or thousands of years ago. I find this sort of thing to be a massive obstacle to properly understanding the problem - because Western societies didn't start running themselves into the ground until about 50-60 years ago.

Locating the problem in ancient greek metaphysics or Christianity or nominalism or "Modernity" or "the Enlightenment" is bad for two reasons - firstly, it removes all contingency from history (which is conceptually retarded), and secondly - it lets what happened 50-60 years ago off the hook.

If we want to solve *the problem* we need to diagnose it correctly. Misdiagnosis displaces our energy upon fighting some stupid puritan ideological struggle against an abstract form that a society not as fundamentally corrupted as ours on an institutional level would be able to entertain without interpreting in such a self-destructive manner.

The problem really is that as we transitioned to the managerial age in the beginning of the 20th Century, the United States was in a perfect geopolitical position to become the hegemon of Western Civilization whilst simultaneously lacking a strong managerial statist ideology. American Progressivism was too weak in its convictions to create barriers against the structural power of parasitic and subversive minority interests - finance capitalists and jews basically.

The old American Right couldn't adapt to managerialism due to their ideological commitment to a weak state and the impotence of the old WASP ruling class. The American Right in its association of the Left with statism was complicit in the postwar United States basically defining itself ideologically in opposition to its great power enemies of the 20th Century (Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union) - and so American Cold War propagandists and anti-"totalitarian" intellectuals were basically unopposed in justifying the power of the American state paradoxically by way of its weakness.

This ideological weakness was in practice just a surrendering of the state to minority interests, as only a majoritarian managerialism was blocked. This allowed minoritarian approaches to managerialism a free-run at capturing aspects of the state.. Zionists took over foreign policy, wall street deregulated itself, jews empowered blacks and opened the borders to dilute majoritarian political power.. The structural support for this minoritarian logic being read into American (post-)liberal ideology only grew and grew with each move, empowering low-T social-liberatory and individualist intellectuals to push for empowering women and gays - we all know the story.

The remedy then is not a new metaphysics or a new religion or "retvrning to tradition" ..its a managerial statist ideology that defends the good of the nation against minority interests pursuing their own ends and status at its expense. This isn't to say that metaphysics and faith and tradition aren't important - they obviously are - but if you get the right guys in charge of the state and empower them to crush all subversive minority interests, the institutional obstacles to reason, religious revival and the historical consciousness of our people will get crushed with them.
