People have a tendency to assume that their own personal “special interest” is also, coincidentally, the key to understanding reality. The problem with this is that very few people are interested in international banking. More people are interested in Lord of the Rings. Woah this guy who is a computer programmer explains that everything is a computer program.

Well check this out, this guy who studies “evolutionary psychology” has an explanation for why you can’t find a date.

Oh yeah? Well this guy who watches Lord of the Rings has thoughts on Ukraine.

I understand Wyndham Lewis's anti-pathos-- the aesthetic satisfaction with objectivity, with the complete renunciation of pretense-- to observe the world like an ant hill, letting words like "Honor" & "Justice" pass by like any other gaseous expulsion of the hominid. So many words, such fantasies spun by the daily ideological speech of the unconscious "individualists" -- "What this society lacks is Honor"-- but watch the speaker's hands, they're in his pockets, gripping his wallet. Just complex geometric shapes milling about pretentiously. "Honor" says the shark taking a bite out of the Whale-- Shark's have honor, which Whales lack, as is known to all Sharks. The human aquarium of it all. To become truly socratic-- I literally have no idea what Honor is, your honor. Could you define it for me? Is it honor when the shark bites the whale? People just yap all day, saying nothing at all except "me me me me me, I am me, me is good, me me me, look at me, I am me, me is good" -- reduce it all to what it is, the cat meows all day "meow meow meow"-- the pretense of the cat, "meow meow HONOR meow meow." It's funny to see the cat's pretense to being the master of the house. The cat is trying to tell me what to do. You are trying to tell me what to do.

“Elite overproduction” is literally just the rightoid understanding of the deindustrialization of America & the rise in FIRE Sector unproductive employment— we have never had more doctors making more money than today. We have never had more “brand ambassadors.”

We have an elitism of superfluous labor— of unproductive labor— there have never been more “content creators” — there have never been more NGOs. The upper middle class are almost entirely superfluous to the real economy & live off recirculated rents. College professors have done nothing to advocate in the interests of students— they want higher wages & those wages come from student debt. Professors in other countries make less money. Surgeons in other countries make less money. America is the Paradise of the petty bourgeois.

Plato represents a Western attempt to recreate Eastern wisdom (all Greek Philosophy is the attempt to explain "Eastern Wisdom" to the world's first Individualistic Society). Plato fails to convince the Tyrants that they ought to be philosophers, like the Sages in Eastern Tyrannies. All Western Philosophy is the attempt to "Reason with Sovereign Individuals" that they ought to act Wisely. But this is doomed to fail, every time, because Wisdom is not sovereign by individual volition or "convincing" or "persuasion"-- but by a way of being, a Tradition.

I think you can sum up the difference between West & East with the following-- in the West the question is "What is the best imaginable individual person & what are his thoughts & interests?" while in the East the question is "What is the best imaginable society & what are its laws?" In the West, you begin with the superlative individual, the messiah, the "good fucking person"-- you are to philosophically construct the perfection of this individual, & then, you are meant to imitate this person. In the East, you begin with the superlative society, the Mandate of Heaven, & you are to practically, pragmatically, subordinate your individuality to that state.

Absolutely— if upper middle class people thought of having kids as being even competitive with “fulfilling career goal” there’d be no “fertility crisis”— as is there is more social renown & prestige for individualistic “achievement” than having kids.

https://twitter.com/vrijmanstaat101/status/1949648683194020329

This whole milieu only defaults to having kids when they intuit they’ve plateaued in their cultivation of social prestige— they consider having kids like placing an anchor “here we are, this is it forever now”

In America, if you're not retarded, they start to whisper to you "You know, you can just get away with crime, if the crime is big enough." You say, yeah, I know, what a fucked up country. & they whisper "You can be as fucked up as you want, too. Nobody is going to stop you. They will cheer." The only thing holding you back is your conscience. How cucked is that? You want to "be a good person"? Are you retarded? There are no good people, there are only rich people & poor people. There are no good people. There are only predators & prey. Be Gay, Do Crime, Win.

I think the problem that undergirds the political problems in the West -- are neurological-- people are not that complicated & you can actually just stun lock them with hypernormal stimuli, drugs, pornography, disorienting psychedelic spectacle, & it works. Try organizing a bunch of schizophrenic drug addicts. Good luck. If you want political progress in America, you have to attack the actual "religiosity" of Americans-- which isn't explicitly any specific "religious tradition"-- but instead the smorgasbord of "spiritualism" with its various premises that converge upon "Mind Over Matter."

It's really incredible how few people who saw Eddington, at least by the reviews I've read, understand what actually happened in the movie. It's a movie that reads you, ideologically, seeking to trigger the latent "Covid era" conditioning people have-- to move beyond it, to see the bigger picture... Hermeneutically, people are just totally fucked in how they engage with "media literacy"-- they go "Is this movie *centrist* because it *criticizes both sides*?" -- not even realizing that no depicted character with a name in the story is actually sovereign over the events of the film. They somehow didn't understand that the whole point of the movie is SOLIDGOLDMAGIKARP.

Slave rebellions aren't generally successful. In fact, it was the Proletarians of the Industrial North who freed the slaves, not the slaves themselves. Something to consider. Jefferson opposed Slavery but also didn't unilaterally dissolve his own inheritance. I prefer Adams, generally, but when using our historical imaginations, it's a bit silly to judge people from standards that were being dialectically constructed in their time & long after. The progression of Right in History is not a tea party. All these Science Fiction Time Travel questions ("If you went back in time, would you lead the hecking slave revolt against White KKKracker Settler Thomas Jefferson?")-- mean less than nothing. "Reasoning" by means of science fiction time travel thought experiments is only evidence of being brainwashed. It's not even discourse at this point-- it's literally LARPing. Do you think if John Adams was born in a southern genteel family and inherited slaves, that he'd have slaves? Makes you think. & imagine if there was never colonization, wow, what would that be like? & imagine if we never invented agriculture. Woah.

I think the 2010s have officially ended with Harland William’s podcast with MDE where Sam Hyde collapses into a shame black hole while Nick Rochefort has a panic attack induced dissociative episode. Worth the watch— you can see the 2010s end. It’s not that “Wokeness is Over” it’s that the cultural project of “Anti-Wokeness” died a stillbirth with the Epstein files being suppressed. The future is “Post-Wokeness” Millennialism which was the 00s Bush era cultural norm. You can say retarded gay fag & also “eat the rich.”

The culture industry is the most important part of maintaining american hegemony which is why “the arts” are fundamentally meaningless in these conditions— valorization of superfluous labor is the guiding principle of American empire, losing faith in the transcendental value of tv shows & restaurants & video games is effectively “historical nihilism” for the maintenance of the american empire, its great threat— that someday people wake up and nothing is entertaining anymore. It felt close to realization during Covid lockdowns with the suspension of most superfluous labor overnight— but here we are now, James Gunn Superman, marvel universe 2 but with Superman now— running it back one more time— diminishing returns surely, but this is really it— so long as America can produce enough entertainment to saturate the discourse, a revolution is impossible, people will simply choose to dissociate further from reality until reality imposes a condition from which dissociation is impossible. I was watching “The Bear” which has declined in quality substantially with each passing season becoming a parody of itself, nigh unwatchably pathetically enamored with its own “importance” which is reflected in “the importance” of restaurants— the restaurant in the Bear is just “superfluous labor” itself— it is supposed to “mean something transcendent” that “people can go to a restaurant to have a good time & dissociate from reality”— this is presented as an elite, brahmanic, priestly role in the American psyche— the chef— “the worker-artist” — the self-seriousness of it all comes off as desperation— “please take this seriously, please BELIEVE in this” — but once you stop believing in this, it’s like watching “Bibleman” on the evangelical broadcasting network. I just laugh.

I think the phenomenology of the train ride in comparison to flight explains the austerity of our times— a train ride is an expanded domain of movement— you can walk on the train, you can go into different rooms, you can even have your own room. Rich people get private jets to get the quality of life of a luxury suite on a train— but even they have to be locked in lift off & landing— literally restrained, like being in a car. The train is just a long hallway which is itself moving— it is the feeling of walking on a peoplemover amplified— it feels like “walking over massive space” with a colossal gait— being on an airplane feels like being a package, like a drugged animal in a cargo hold. There is a romance to walking to the train station & getting on the train & then getting off the train & walking directly out into the human world again. The airport however is like entering Dantean retail surveillance hell, being strapped to a gurney, MKUltraing yourself with slop, & then agonizingly exiting through the layers of Dantean hell that surround the airport, which is never “in the city” but in its own deterritorialized nonplace adjacent to it.

CPUSA lost the plot by tailing FDR. It's been kaputt since then. They tied themselves to "The War Effort" after having put up a strong resistance to it. The CPUSA was, originally, a member of the AMERICA FIRST COMMITTEE. They supported ISOLATIONISM. Their slogan was "THE YANKS ARE NOT COMING." -- they were then pressured to "join the war effort" from Moscow, once the Soviet Union was invaded-- but in doing so, they basically made every compromise possible to become a part of "the war effort" & ultimately this meant that the Communist Party of America became an extension of the American Military Industrial Complex. The Yanks Came. Here we are now. The CPUSA's Joe Sims now has to equivocate-- "We oppose both PUTIN & BIDEN's war in Ukraine." but then also "We must fight fascism." But "Fighting Fascism in Ukraine" isn't justified or something... The CPUSA failed by not seeking, first, to gain power in America-- rather than being an "adjunct" to the establishment of Communism in Russia. This was also the same issue that ultimately caused the Sino-Soviet split. The USSR was "socially imperialist" in assuming its own establishment of Communism within its own nation was the paramount priority of Communists internationally. The Chinese said: "We got our own shit to deal with here." -- the CPUSA should have done the same & established itself as a real, consistent, opposition rather than what it was easily characterized as after the war "a flunky for a foreign power with deep ties to the FDR produced Deep State"

The thing that’s actually annoying about Zohran is that urban leftoids are only interested in making “urban socialist policies” & have no ambition to govern the entire nation (including rural populations)— “this is good enough” they say, as they introduce one more neolib compromised “market socialist” program, while making 0 ground in the vast majority of America’s landmass.

I see that Kantbot has said my “project” is “reactionary”— but he’s just tailing the normal urban new leftist shit that has accomplished absolutely nothing on a national/civilizational level. You can make New York City have as many Northwest European Social Democratic programs & policies as you wish, it will gain you no ground in upstate new york or the deindustrialized hinterlands.

My “project” is simply accepting the necessity of a revolution *on a national level* which necessarily requires both understanding and recognizing the legitimacy of rural opposition to “urban new leftism.” Thomas Massie understands that “New York New Left Policy” makes less than zero sense in rural appalachian townships with 2k populations. I guess coming form the a town with a population of 2k in the “foothills of appalachia” in Massachusetts & having lived in NYC for 6 years allows me to have this sort of, idk, DIALECTICAL perspective on the actual material reality of America & the necessity of not actively alienating rural populations, but instead addressing their legitimate concerns.

If all you want is Kantian Liberal Universalism with Welfare State characteristics, New York City Social Democracy is about as good as it gets. If kantbot was consistent he’d just call the Chinese Communist Party “fascist” & call it a day. “Mao was a fascist”— he necessarily concludes this because Mao “courted the reactionaries of the Qing dynasty & the Nationalist Army.” Mao enabled “backwards peasants” to humiliate the chinese bourgeois who could afford to read Kant. He’s just a Kamala voter who is happy he can vote for Zohran & get backpats at the functions that used to call HIM a fascist. Very chill celebration for Zohran at the Verso Loft. Who fucking cares, it accomplishes nothing on a civilizational level. If you're essentially an Upper West Side shut-in, who cares what some "rural reactionary" believes about anything-- they're barbarians-- you're in the cradle of civilization-- the only "REAL CITY" in America-- etc. See how that works out when shit really hits the fan.

The issue with America is that politics have become primarily federal, & Americans don’t know enough about America (& other Americans) for this to work out. The original schema of state representatives electing their federal representatives was better. People are much more knowledgeable about their immediate communities than matters of federal state. Most people are right about what works where they are— but then they extrapolate this to an “absolute right” in a one sided manner— & you have people from the city claiming to know how to govern people in rural areas & vice versa etc. It’s insane to me how people who would never even consider living in NYC are concerned for how they govern themselves.

What denomination is Tucker these days? He was raised Anglican (Episcopalian) but has recently described it as a false church. If someone got him a copy of "And Forgive them Their Debts" he might go nuclear. By the way, this is the most effective "Communist Propaganda" you could ever ask for in America. Americans are more interested in what Jesus Christ had to say about Political Economy than Karl Marx.

There's too much to correct people on for any swift correction to the prevailing ideology of the American Empire. You have to start from first principles, & every step you have to fight centuries of ingrained propaganda. It will only be possible to rebuild after a complete collapse in faith in American institutions-- which is ongoing presently, but only accelerates with the cost of "finding out" after "fucking around." We are past the need for ideological justifications-- there was much more of an effort to sell the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan. Today they're just wheeling out a paper tiger puppet "Persian King" & expecting us to just accept it. "I guess we're making those now" comic.

The split between Mussolini and Hitler regarding the correct application of racism is very funny to me. Mussolini’s brand of Fascism required recasting all British & Germanic achievement as stolen valor from the Mediterranean “Roman” race while Germanic fascism required “the innate superiority of the nordic blond haired blue eyed”— both required a means of describing the British as neither nordic nor Mediterranean but a third, sort of Jewish, thing. “Too utilitarian, too mercantile, not PASSIONATE & irrational enough” etc This noble tradition of intersectional far right infighting based upon Skyrim level historiographies continues in our time— where each individual “far right” ideologue has their own distinct rank ordering hierarchy of races, which naturally places themselves at the top.

REMINDER: Tolerance of illegal immigration is primarily about depressing wages & depressing wages is the only Fed sanctioned means of lowering inflation. It is considered a nightmare scenario to cut off immigration as it would lead to an increase in the value of labor.
They use a lot of economic jargon to say “workers making too much money is bad for the economy. Increasing the reserve army of labor decreases the value of labor.” Bankers love illegal immigration— if it was up to the Banks, there only citizens of America would be bankers, & everyone else would be a “migrant laborer.”

It’s funny to see people (especially not Americans) who think that this round of riots & protests is “going somewhere”— I remember in 2020 when people said the same thing & how much flak I got for saying it’s all spectacle & has no political import anymore than Philadelphians rioting for a sports franchise victory— a french “communist” is telling me that Mexicans are going to take back California & deport me, in 2020 the midwestern neonazis were telling me that George Floyd Militants were going to raid my apartment & execute my cats. Nothing happens, either way. The realization no one wants to have is “this is normal”— this is what “the American Normal” is— every so often you get a little riot as a treat & the cops get overtime & hazard pay & the property owners get insurance payouts & at best some sexless collegiate “activist” gets some solidarity pussy. It’s all in good fun, after all. Some kids get to steal some televisions. Some kids get to shoot off some fireworks at the cops. Some kids get to feel their hearts racing as they bike away from a police kettling op with a single airpod in playing the Drive soundtrack. Everyone is having fun.
