“The [Neocons] have no reverse gear.”

Duran on how Neocons will push for Western troops in Ukraine (and we have to count on the Pentagon(!) and EU army to hold the line against WWIII.)

How can any group of politicians or civil servants be trusted with it?

Corporate power is a problem, the state is part of that problem, and more state control is the opposite of a solution.

"The middle-class liberal NPC public will absorb this implication easily, because it corresponds with the assumption they already hold, and love to hold: everyone who doesn't share their liberal worldview is a violent, hateful maniac with low social skills."

I recommend IRL meet ups with dissidents.

Yes, as Fróði and I discussed on his show, there are some weird people that tend to be drawn to dissident movements because weird people are drawn to fringe movements in general whether religious or secular as I have experienced throughout my life.

But there are many regular, sane folks who have just seen clearly what you are seeing. It is encouraging to realize that you're not alone and dissidents generally don't match the caricature of them.

I'll go further. I brought my wife in "cold" to a dissident right event in February. She was so impressed with the young folks there that she got up and spoke to them (not on the schedule!) to tell them how impressed she was.

These are people who care and don't want to just watch the world burn. That counts for a lot in my book.

Continuing to riff on this theme of egalitarianism that I discussed on Lambster on Saturday...

Let's look at how egalitarians approach solving the alienation problem (differences between people) and moving us towards being all merged together into the "Blob"...

• Race: Denial. "Race is a social construct". But also, races should be mixed together.

• Culture: Denial. No culture is better than another, all should be respected. Except for European culture of course.

• IQ: Denial, but also send everyone to college.

• Knowledge: Denial. All opinions are valid. But you must listen to the experts.

• Sex: Denial. "Gender" is a spectrum that you can slide around on at will.

• Health: Denial. Obesity is healthy!

• Religion: Denial, all religions are really the same underneath. But also, ecumenism. ("See the Catholic Church post-Vatican II pushing for a one-world, ecumenical, unitarian religion." - Man Among the Ruins)

• Art: Denial. All art is equally beautiful, meaningful and technically brilliant.

• Sports Performance: Denial. Participation trophies. Men in women's sports. Soon, fat acceptance movement starts pushing to eliminate weight classes in combat sports. (Thanks to Helmut Spargel.)

• Geography: Being in different places is unfair. Mass immigration will mix us all up.

• Class (classical Marxist approach): Eat the rich. We'll all be proles together.

• Class (new technocratic approach): Destroy the poor. Replace them with bots. Only the enlightened ones are needed anymore. (On this, see the prophetic That Hideous Strength by CS Lewis!)

What other differences are they going after that I've missed?

Thanks for all the help on this!

I liked the final result so much I started a (free!) Substack just to have a place to publish this.

20 years on the 20th!

Mrs. RadLib and I were married on April 20, 2002.

I knew back then that I had married well.

But, truth to tell, I only had an inkling.

The depth of her!

Really like Thomas777’s perspective on the US empire after 1989 as an empire with no purpose.

As an example he cites the occupation of Afghanistan, once al Qaeda left, as being military “make work”.

The Pointless Empire

On Pete Quinones's show:

“And as history has always shewed, when you conquer and rule a foreign people, those people will ultimately come to conquer you. With such bold achievements abroad comes the unravelling and uprooting of civilisation at home.”

Invade the world, invite the world.

I marvel that people who oppose mass immigration would support imperialism. How could the connection between them be more obvious?

“Pluralistic nationalism”.

Or the great Liberal principle of Self-Determination of Peoples.

Actually scrap all that, guys, Eugène Montsalvat is a NazBol Duginist.

https://alternativet.wordpress.com/2017/02/08/interview-eugene-montsalvat/

😄 But seriously, even if he were, I stand by my belief in pluralistic Nationalism. I oppose globalism out of principle whether it is my own nation or my enemy doing it.

I genuinely like the idea that the world is full of different people and different ways of life. Of course there is the geopolitical reality against such fanciful idealism, where 'difference' wants to conquer you. And that is why it is important to beat the enemy into knowing its place.

“I can’t define nazism. But I know it when I see it. And my eyes are filled with nazism!” 🙃

Elon Musk's attempt to takeover Twitter has turned over the rock of current woke corporate governance and revealed ugly to investors. Also, the boomerang sanctions and more!

Happy to see this getting shared around on Telegram.

Andrew Torba seems like one to take seriously to me. A dissident who is thinking deeply but also creating parallel institutions.

Excuse me what.
