1/ The cave above the cave is realizing much of the online and anonymous right is akin to crabs in a barrel, instigating petty fights, self-ghettoizing, cultivating followings on self-destructive LARPing that makes young men hate women almost as much as they their irrelevancy
2/ Basically teaching people that the most important thing is online beefs for attention while LARPing about returning to tradition but making young men unmarriable. Interesting so many of these people are unmarrked, childless, and catty which is, you know, not a masculine trait
3/ A decent movement is one that gives young men and women hope for a better future with families and a decent *real* way of life--which is beyond these crabs in a barrel
4/ The same people who pretended and promised Trump was actually Caesar after November never really recovered from that so instead of doing anything constructive, it's all about fighting over who is the most based and trad online personality... to save the West, right?
5/ The test for joining these irrelevant communities is publicly destroying yourself so that you can only exist behind a faceless profile picture. Unless you do that, you're not based. You also won't have a future, probably won't get married or have kids, won't be happy, but hey
6/ Specifically referring to people who lead this groups and start beefs and mobilize followers for those beefs because these people are the problem, not so much their followers. I have a rule about not boosting these accounts, but you won't have to look hard to know who I mean
7/ To be even more clear: BAP is an idiot and wrong, but I don't think online anonism is wrong in general--just when you use it to effeminately accuse people of being feds because you're insecure

As someone who straddles both worlds, I think that the debate that is going on here is a tremendous waste of time. amgreatness.com/2021/05/08/wha…
Don't consider myself any kind of conservative, but paleos are likely the best allies people like Anton can hope for. Who else, National Review fusionists? The Bulwark/Dispatch neoconservatives?
I agree and disagree with McClanahan and Anton on different things and find this flame war a waste of time and energy
The ultimate irony of the Anglo-Saxon tradition debate is the fact Angloids seem to be the ones who are the most offended by the idea their traditions are worth preserving
On the level of elites anyway, where these debates take place
Worth noting that you can't find another civilization in history where the elites have deliberately dismantled what their ancestors built while also demonizing them
"Anglo American values" = the United States and its institutions
Samuel P. Huntington noted in "Who Are We?" that by 1790 the US European settler stock that created America's founding documents and institutions was 98 percent Protestant, 80 percent British, 60% ethnically English. A lot of that has changed, but the history hasn't
Huntington and others argued convincingly that no other group had a greater impact on America's foundational documents and institutions and ideas of government. But what should be a simple and harmless statement of fact is of course controversial in Current Year
Having a kid has made the encroachment of transgender ideology deeply personal for me and has made me less tolerant of people like David French. I quite literally cannot understand people who go along with this stuff and Republicans who cede even an inch are worse than losers.
Even more unfathomable are people that take their kids to drag queen story hour. You're ruining your child's innocence because you want to feel virtuous about tolerating the intolerable--and that's best case scenario
*corporations and sociopaths pushing cross sex hormones on kids*
david french: now now blessings of liberty white christians are the real problem here's a column about my favorite marvel movies
The important thing about the spat between James Lindsay and Alex Kaschuta is that Lindsay's behavior is a reminder that "classical liberalism" is a relative of leftism and generally fights the right harder than the left who it views as a kind of misguided cousin (because it is)
The right poses an existential threat whereas the left is just kind of out of control but certainly well-meaning!
Cannot recommend James Burnham’s Suicide of the West enough here, really made the most convincing case I've ever read
