"It’s pretty clear that the Regime wants to do everything in its power to prevent Trump from continuing to be a political force in America; they’ve pulled out all the stops to do so since the day he was elected."
Read these articles to understand the politicization of the DOJ 🧵
"Regime degeneration to the point of criminal insanity and terrorism is a recurrent theme. Totalitarian regimes are governments that have degenerated into a mafia-like structure occupying territories in which institutions have collapsed." — Daniel Miller im1776.com/2021/08/24/the…
"The Regime uses disorder (anarchy) to terrorize its opponents, and uses state power to protect the anarchical element and to crush any resistance to disorder (tyranny). This oppression serves the regime’s political and social goals." — @PerfInjust im1776.com/2022/03/18/ana…
"Daniel Penny is a victim of this same system, which implores young men to accept the degeneration of public life, or, failing that, to simply look away. This system makes a mockery of empathy, humiliates the weak, and terrorizes the brave." — @kafkaswife im1776.com/2023/05/12/the…
"We're now getting a glimpse of Soviet-style prosecution. The spirit of Krylenko was alive and well in Assistant DA Thomas Binger, who asked the jury to judge Rittenhouse not according to the law, but according to revolutionary conscience." — @GraduatedBen im1776.com/2021/11/20/ame…
"When Ethan’s father looked to our institutions for justice, he was told by one prosecutor that his son received “hood justice.” Another stated, in private, that Ethan’s race absolutely affected the case." — @jacoburowsky im1776.com/2023/10/02/eth…
"The January 6 committee was a pretext to re-orient the entire national security apparatus against the American people, and more specifically Trump, which itself is a direct extension of the impeachment process." — @DarrenJBeattie im1776.com/2022/09/16/dar…
"Current Republican politicians don’t really understand what we’re up against. The younger left is different, more Machiavellian, more ruthless, just obsessed with wielding power and wiping out the opposition." — @bgmasters im1776.com/2021/12/17/bla…
"The powers that be are not there to validate your victories. They’re there to defeat, first of all, you, but if you somehow win, they’re there to make sure that you can’t govern." — Steve Bannon im1776.com/2022/10/04/ste…
"The prosecution of dissidents is not a violation of norms, it's the establishment of new norms. A two-tier system with a hierarchy where those that serve the Regime have one set of laws and rights, and those that oppose it have another." — @AuronMacintyre im1776.com/2022/10/24/the…
"Every business wants to grow, and the same holds for federal law enforcement. For the FBI, everything is an opportunity to expand its power..." — @LeeSmithDC & @Techno_Fog im1776.com/2023/05/26/the…

MUST-READ: "The world of 18th- and 19th-century liberalism is gone, and conservatives must grapple with the world as it is—a status quo that requires not conservation, but reform, and even revolt." — @realchrisrufo's principles for the New Right activism 🧵
"The older conservative establishment, assembling in ballrooms and clubhouses, has marginal influence over public orthodoxy because it lacks the hunger and grit to contest it. The energy is with a new generation which no longer accepts tired platitudes, and demands a new set of strategies geared toward truly overcoming the regime."
"The point is not only to shape the meta-discourse as a matter of 'general culture', but to attack the political discourse directly on individual issues—in other words, to engage in agitprop. Agitprop doesn’t mean sacrificing the truth, but rather, channeling the truth, toward victory. Postmodernist theorists who reduced politics to 'language games' may have overstated the case, but they were right in one respect: language is the operative element of human culture."
We're taking a short break over the holidays. Back in January with great content & Issue 4, shipping first week of Jan. Thank you to everyone who has contributed & supported us this year, it's been a great one. Here's a short thread with some of our favorite articles from 2023:
"You don’t win a naval war without any ships, and you can’t win a culture war without any culture."
What better place to start than our announcement at the beginning of the year? IM is transitioning. New pronouns 👉 501(c)3: im1776.com/art-and-litera…
"What is required are basic metaphysical principles which return the world to its structure." — Daniel Miller on our 'gnostic modernity': im1776.com/2023/02/10/our…
In the opening essay, "Silicon Meridian", @jamespoulos calls for "religious art that takes as its subject the return of the Father":
"There is no longer any pretending we have not ushered out of the rock something new to worship, an idol and what is streaming out from it, which all of our human instincts have in a sense frozen in wait for the tremendous verdict as to its possible divinity." — @jamespoulos
It's been great to see so many of you enjoying our first print edition. Thank you to everyone who has already bought a copy for the support, and also for the kind messages and emails you've sent us.
With regards to some of the criticism & comments going around, just to clarify:
We never intended for this issue to *define* a vision forward for an artistic movement. To the degree that it has contributed to the latter, we're very happy, but that was never our main goal. We are not an "Art Review" magazine.
Although the topic of Art & Literature has been increasingly central to our project—something we'll definitely explore more in the future—this was primarily about drawing attention to the fact that the Right spends nowhere near enough resources on influencing Culture as the Left.
