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.

Some of our enemies have names.

Name names!

For the first time since the “vaccine mandates” which reportedly resulted in more than 90% of the Australian population getting two mRNA injections, television football commentators in Australia have admitted the jabs are causing Bell’s palsy and heart conditions in many athletes.

Essential points from Evelyn.

Really beginning to see AA’s point about Joel.

The USA could never be a “right” controlled managerial hegemon, as managerialism is counter to so much of right wing thought.

Modernists smh…

Important to understand that Caleb Maupin is a socialist. (He's not shy about it!)

Having said that, my favorite leftists are anti-war leftists and you can learn a lot from him and other leftists like Caitlin Johnstone.

A friend provided me the fuller passage from Robert Lewis Dabney commenting on the uselessness of establishment conservatives... In 1897!

Also, "baby suffrage"... Funny and also not quite as funny any more as the logic of democracy plays out in ever more absurd expansions of the franchise.

Once I was driving my inner-city students through a wooded area. They told me how scary they found it.

Me: “But where you live in the city you’re much more likely to be killed!”

Them: “Yeah, but if they kill you out here they’ll do something freaky to your body.”

Really happy that Horus is bringing Terry Gilliam into this annual film festival.

My top directors are Terry Gilliam and David Lynch. (Don't ask me to choose between them. 🙃)

Me too. I'll be discussing Time Bandits.

There is a brief moment in Terry Gilliam’s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) that is so perfect.

The Robespierre character (played by Jonathan Pryce) shoots Munchausen and then the angel of death is released and you can see that he is totally shocked. He, like so many leftists historically, hasn’t comprehended the chaos he is unleashing.

They play with dark forces they don’t understand.

We’re getting tremendous feedback on this stream about courtship.

We went deeper here, shared more intimately, than we have before.

Today my wife suggested our topic for next month.
