🧵The core conservative belief isn't a belief about the world but themselves: That they're reasonable, restrained, measured, law-abiding, NICE...
So when they're faced with their fellow citizens, real people with real addresses, systematically and openly attacking civilization... they have to invent conspiracy theories because they cannot accept the obvious implication that they should raise their voice, not against an abstract nothing like the WEF, but against individual people who might be their neighbors.
All the adults acting this out and teaching children to behave this way live in that city and have names and addresses within it... But that's too scary a thought. You might have to walk up and start a face to face fight if you thought that thought.... So blame Davos because one of their powerpoints mentions it.
I see this from every aging conservative, every testosterone-less "man's man"...They will accept anything, the 2 year imprisonment of their children, sooner than start start a scene and raise their voice, not against a system, but the immediate individual person enabling it.
They'll bitch and moan about schools grooming kids, but not a one will walk up to 1 of the 20 town school teachers and tell them to their face that they're destroying the country and deserve the worst cancers. Not a one will see the local activist walk into their store and tell them to GTFO.
For every government policy, for every order from the top, there is a person who is actually implementing those order at the lowest level. A person who makes it all actually happen in the real world. A school teacher giving a lesson on gender identity, a construction worker removing a statue, a "harm reduction" social worker handing out "clean" fentanyl and needles, the individual border patrol agent willing to betray his oath and let the border be invaded.
These people could resign and refuse to participate. They could have chosen any one of a thousand other low level jobs, they could quit tomorrow and get an honest job at 7/11. But they don't, because they believe in what they're doing, and they're happy to be complicit in these crimes.
This is your enemy. Not some German Vampire with a funny accent, not journalists, not even the Biden Whitehouse... If Clauss Schwab, CNN, and Biden didn't have people willing to enact their program upon your country, they'd just be the saddest and weirdest World of Darkness LARPers... But they do. Million of them.
Your enemy is not the General and the Marshalls, your enemy is the mass of their soldiers. Your enemy is not the tyrants saying children should be brainwashed, mutilated, and poisoned, it is the teachers, psychologists, and social workers actually doing it.
Your enemy is not the "Elite" or the "Globalists" nor even "them".... it is your fellow citizens. And you must come to hate your fellow citizens MORE than you hate Biden or Clauss Schwab. Because the elite are doing it for millions of dollars... They're receiving an enviable amount of money to mouth nice things about these horrors from a thousand miles away. Your fellow citizens... The social workers handing out fentanyl? The Grade school teachers recommending psychologists who hand out hormone blockers? They're doing this directly, in person, to teenagers and children's faces, who they know! For 60k a year, some extra vacation time, and the mere joy of destroying the innocent.
Whom do you hate more? Whom deserves more of your rage?

Tolkien is capeshit wearing the skinsuit of the Anglo-Saxon tradition.
Contrast Beowulf, Le Morte De Arthur, the Germanic Eddas, the Odyssey, The Aeneid... And you can see none of the structure or values or the stories are at all comparable. Tolkien never wrote a single revenge cycle.
But rather his values and stories resemble nothing so much as Modern Marvel movies.
A sexless world of Eternal Children and equally sexless bearded men, with no meaningful desires except for trinkets and Macguffins meant to show their virtues are sins and they should have had no desires at all... and villains who when not faceless beasts and disposable vermin, have committed the crime of... Wanting something.
Not a single one of his heroes has a rivalry or hatred of any of his villains, and certainly nothing familial, personal, or romantic such as is the case of every classical and anglo-saxon story.
One wonders why Gandalf went to Bilbo at all... So Bilbo could find a wife? Found a new hobbit Kingdom with his fortune? Avert some terrible destiny? Slay an enemy or rival?
No! So he could just come home and do nothing for another 50+ years.
For all the shit GRRM rightly gets for Game of Thrones devolving into feminist/social justice anti-narrative and plodding hopeless misery (Name any children BORN during A Song of Ice and Fire and the war of 5 kings who live? Indeed it contradicts his own worldbuilding, since half the cast was born or married and formed families as a direct result of the earlier Robert's rebellion)... inspite of all that Game of Thrones is far CLOSER to traditional western storytelling and values, with named characters with families and hopes and dreams, and lusts and rivalries and children and revenge cycles on all sides.
By contrast Tolkien, very uniquely even by the standards of the 40s and 50s, creates a sexless world where pretty much no one has families, romances, lusts, hopes, desires, etc. Save some abstract desire to "Save the world" or "defeat evil"
Name a single Tolkien Character who has a significant Relationship with their father, mother, or wife?
The only exception is Denathor... Ie. A Mad King to be overcome. Arwen doesn't even appear in the main text of the books
But what about...
Are you going to reference something published by JRR Tolkien? Or Christopher Tolkien?
I agree Christopher Tolkien was vastly more in touch with the Western Tradition than his father.
Hanania makes Casey Affleck at the start of "Assassination of Jesse James" seem normal and well adjusted
There is something deeply wrong with any figure who decide to interact with him and pretend the most unsettling thing ever seen isn't happening right in front of them
Every inflection is wrong, every muscle spasm, every lip movement, every reaction, every part of his face that's unusually plump, smooth, and youthful, or that's strangely aged, worn, & thin
Every part of him is disingenuous, faking something human or concealing something alien
he's 39... Yet not a single trait of him is 39... He combines the most bizzare traits of an autistic 10 year old and 90 year old jewish woman... As much an age that has never existed before as Madonna post-plastic surgery.
Young white men are so damned close to terror and ethnic cleansing it is unreal.
Having every rule rigged against them, their every institution betray them, and then called losers by the people their tax dollars subsidize and the boomers their childhood suffering gave peace to
That a full moratorium on all immigration for 15 years and complete repeal of the 1964 civil right isn't the opening bid, is a the sign we're headed to hot civil war.
An entire generation of boys sees Hitler as the only figure in history who didn't want them enslaved and killed
I will ask @ThomasEWoods and @BobMurphyEcon who for some reason are defending Elon and Vivek.
Why do you want you children enslaved, immiserated, disenfranchised in their homeland, reduced to a minority, and inevitably killed by ethnic enemies?
