1. Men today are lost because the technological and administrative world in which they find themselves gives them no markers to tell them they are men. In fact, to survive, they must become like women. The second in my series on Walter Ong's "Fighting for Life." Links Below 👇🏻
Tucker: “You seem bitter…”
Putin: “No it’s not bitterness, It’s just a statement of fact. We are not bride and groom.”
Translation: Why do you look at world events like a woman?
1. Let’s talk about this. You should care. This understanding of humanity is a big part of why America is so messed up and the culture war is happening at all. This idea that what I do in private with other consenting adults does not affect other people. This is deeply wrong. 🧵
Why mixed gender schooling has been such a disaster for boys:
Walter Ong on the development of women and men:
Woman: “I want to be me, to realize what is in me.”
Male: “I want an adversary to keep at bay so as to give me confidence in what I can do.”
No boy should ever be…
1. This was not done by some descending horde defacing a piece of beautifully carved stone whose meaning was long forgotten in an act of vandalism.
This was done by once pagan converts to Christianity for whom this was once an object of veneration, with real spiritual meaning.
This image goes hard.
At one time this was a statue of a Roman goddess displayed in Corinth.
The Corinthians chose the Boniface option…cutting off her face, carving a cross into it.

1. She is basically explaining without saying it directly (very woman) why women are liberals. My experience is that generally women want you to affirm their choices, listen to them until they feel heard without offering solutions. They want you to cheer them in their choices.
1. Rather than pouring billions of dollars into the Republican Party, this is what Christians should be doing, but more.
Buying large tracts of land, developing it, building gated Christian communities with business, manufacturing, agriculture, services.
1. The problem with women in politics, in the office, and entering into right wing political spaces is just this point:
It is perfectly acceptable for a man to be mean to a man, or a woman to be mean to a man, a woman to be mean to a woman.
But a man cannot be mean to a woman.
@MetaPrime001
Its very difficult to think that the online right is not mean to women. Its staggering the way you theorycels have decided it's acceptable to talk to/about them. I was under the impression women were to be wives and mothers, which entitles them to a measure of respect.
1. Memes aside, let’s look at what might be happening here. The first question is the surface propaganda: who are the heroes and the villains in the story?
In answering this, we have to argue that it does not really matter. The point of a movie like this is to scare women.
1. This video of an exchange in the SC state house is wild and instructive.
Fast forward to around the 50 second mark where the second speaker openly admits that politicians do not represent people, they actually represent the bureaucrats to the people.
1. Have you ever wondered why people are not as smart as they used to be? One oft overlooked point is that open-mindedness and being non-judgmental run counter to how thinking and though happens. All thinking is rooted in discrimination, prejudice and judgement.
1. Some thoughts on the Twitter-women-drifting-leftward-because-of-toxic-male-behavior thing.
My basic thought is that Twitter, especially right wing Twitter, is of all the social media platforms, the most male coded. This is because it allows and encourages agonistic behaviour.
This is what deracination looks like. These people have no idea who they are. Dancing drunk in a gas station parking lot to culturally borrowed music and dances. They have no moral frame or community that checks their behavior, nothing that says, “no.”
This is why, rather than jails, quick corporal punishment should be the norm. Rather than tuck the offender out of sight and warehouse her for years and years at tax payer expense where it serves no lesson for others, public hanging would be the suitable punishment in this case.
1. You must understand that, use of social media aside, the woman in this video represents the norm for women throughout much of history.
Feminism, which was downstream from industrialization, has taken this from women.
Women used to occupy a vital role in the “household.”
This accent needs to be illegal and women should be banned from doing manual labour like this.
There is NOTHING feminine about American women.
American women are literally men.
1. People in normal political circles fail to grasp Trump repeatedly. They see his lack of discipline and how ineffective he was or his moral failings and assume it must be because Trump is a charismatic figure and people vote for him are in a cult of personality. This is wrong.
1. It’s not that hard. All states are founded and maintained by violence. In the west we drank the liberal koolaid that we can solve society’s problems without violence. We hide from it. Prisons rather than public lashes or hangings. Order is foundational.
If the US is going to close the border and eventually deport 15-50 million invaders, know that you are going to see a relentless flood of propaganda, a constraint stream of sob stories. Reclaiming the country from invaders is a hard business. But we must start somewhere.
1. This is important and not a message that will be popular with many American Christians.
The optimism of the 1700’s is well behind us now. This idea that enlightenment liberalism could be seamlessly fused with Christianity must be seen as a failed experiment.
Here
@MSNBC
helpfully makes it clear their disdain for Christians in America.
She says that if you believe that your rights come from God, you aren’t a Christian, you are a Christian nationalist.
Somehow they seem to not mention that our own founding documents make this…
1. Secular Christmas has largely exhausted itself. This has largely been the case since 1970. Meaningful secular Christmas had a golden period from 1945 through 1970. This is interesting as this is pretty when the negative effects of post war secularism really started to show. 🧵
1. It is useful to remind ourselves as we discuss politics, that “feudalism” is not a political system. It was a set of loyalty relationships made among a warrior elite, the foundation of which was honor and hierarchy. It was organic and maintained by many who could not read.
James Lindsay, as usual, is handling the Texas border controversy with the Biden admin. with a level head, offering deep cogent analysis that benefits us all in understanding the situation better.
1. The “dissident right” must understand that this is their base, their future. These are their people. If you dump on her for using seed oils, you are the problem. If you want to look down at her, you are the problem.
This is exactly what the left wants. The proper response is to close the border and deport the illegal aliens, not ship the all over the country, dispersing the aliens everywhere, ensuring they will never be deported.
This is not winning.
You don’t often see a politician who really truly “gets it” who understand that if “the state” follows its own internal impulses it becomes the enemy of the people. The state has to be an exercise in moral discipline, so as to exist for the people and not for itself.
1. One of the things that we should start considering in the growing phenomenon labeled the “competency crisis” is one contributing factor is that we have expanded the global society/economy beyond the point where we have enough competent people to manage it.
Ship appears to have lost power twice before impact with the bridge.
In this sped up clip, note that the ship's lights are on at first, then turn off. After the lights return, the ship appears to lose power one more time before the power returns again, but by then it's too late.
1. This is essentially backwards. Leftism is what happens when you want all the good things which Christian faith brings to your own life, your community and your nation, but without wanting to actually believe.
1. The degree to which the “great reversal” has taken hold is that these kids believe that they are battling the oppression of powerful conservative interests. In fact the opposite is true. They are the foot soldiers of the bourgeoisie regime. How so? 🧵
1. There is a label for this kind of thinking:
“Quietism.”
It is the false belief that remaining silent, keeping your head down, not being noticed is the way that we avoid bringing the eye of Sauron upon us.
In an age where narrative control is a thing, this is a mistake.
Christians, don't be baited. The angrier you get about Biden's "Transgender Day of Visibility" proclamation in place of Resurrection Sunday, the more you play into the enemy's hands. Yes, there is an enemy. But you don't have to play that game. How to resist? Refuse to play. Here…
@TheBlackHorse65
Most guys would get an ego boost out of this (you went to how much trouble to date me?). But maybe don’t tell him the story on the first date.
The cognitive dissonance which occurs when someone confronts the remaining vestiges of a once superior culture. This should be the norm everywhere and in all places. That is is not should be the shocking thing.
1. Remember, if you are not being arrested, roughed up by the police, tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, having your bank accounts frozen, etc., it is not a “protest” but a regime supported action.
1. The “what is an American?” question is one asked often by old stock Americans. The film is trying to take that question from them and say it’s illegitimate for them to ask this. So you should be asking this question and forcing it upon them.
1. Let’s talk about this. The accusation of “racism” is a tool meant to bully people into silence, as are such phrases as “check your privilege.” What they mask, in this instance, and most others today, is that the “civil rights revolution” has been has been completely subverted.
The same racist nazi fuckers who complained about a black elf in the Rings of Power and a black mermaid in the new Little Mermaid are now throwing a fit because there's a black Aaragorn in the new

Women in politics, a case study.
My wife, conservative, hears that there has been four bad accidents on a nearby road and the municipality is going to initiate a study to improve “safety” and her response is, “good.”
Much of today’s politics is downstream from this reality.
If you look around and wonder what happened to Canada and why, you must understand that it was not accidental. Immigration was not a good policy that got out of hand.
No. Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada systematically destroyed Canada because they hate you.
Aiding a stranger who travels through your community or sojourns for a time in your land is one thing.
But when left wing hacks weaponize your Christian compassion to say that the foreigner has the biblical right to despoil you and take your homeland, you can ignore them.
MAGA Republicans say "our rights come from God."
If that is true, they must apply to citizens and noncitizens alike.
The truth is that migrants have the exact same natural rights as American citizens.
Get over it.
1. People don’t realize that the real money is not made in actually making things, but financializing the making of things. What this means is that the point is not to sell you a car, appliances, a house, etc., but to lend you the money so you will pay them interest.
This is wild. It may in the end be a big non-event, but a map like this says that these governors are sensing a change in the wind and are allowing themselves to be swept along. Events are happening and new possibilities seem to be opening.
This map shows states whose Governors issued the Joint Statement Supporting Texas’ Constitutional Right to Self-Defense.
Link to the statement follows…
The correct word is not “karma.” We use the word “karma” because it comes from an alien culture and is thus “safe.”
The correct word is “judgement.” Let this be a warning to all of you to get right with God through Jesus while you have time.
Instant karma:
According to local witnesses, Semtsov was one of the organizers of the raider seizure of the church. During the conflict Semtsov snatched the cross from the priest and threw it on the ground, after this incident he suddenly suffered a stroke and died on spot.
A liberal friend of mine said yesterday that these groups had to be real, because they had tattoos. Would FBI agents get themselves tattooed? No, but they might just be able to recruit, outfit, train and organize a bunch of unwitting halfwits to stand on an overpass to create a…
Perhaps the better question to ask is how “farms” were allowed to get this big? How is it a good public policy idea to have a dairy farm so large that it has 18,000+ head of cattle in one factory facility? This is what happens when a nation is seduced by the ideology of money.
JUST IN: 18,000 cows are now dead due to an explosion in Dimmitt, Texas.
Honest question: How does a dairy farm have an explosion so large that it kills 18,000 cows?
1. Let’s explore the whole foot washing thing. The point was not some leftist idea of “acceptance.” It’s point was certainly not to make Christianity servile.
The point of the washing of the feet was discomfort of the disciples. This discomfort opens the nature of grace.
1. There is no such thing “green technology.” It’s all a myth of propaganda and selective attention.
All industrial processes are industrial processes. Whether you are mining aluminium to make cans or recycling it, both are similar industrial processes.
2. They were actively cutting ties with demons they once worshipped. This was real. It remains real. Only in a society that has lost most of its religious feeling, enclosed in a techno-materialist prison could we look back and think, “How could they deface such beautiful art?”
1. There is a fundamental catch-22 with liberalism. It’s general impulse is liberation and freedom. But freedom from what? Typically, it has been the moral limits imposed upon society by the Christian faith. At the core of liberalism is the belief in unrestricted market freedom.
Actually, Greek and Latin were almost omnipresent in most elite schools up through into the 1920’s. The biggest change? The broad admission of women into higher education. Turns out that you can coerce reluctant boys in ways you can’t girls/women. Thus, Latin had to go.
300 years ago, almost all "educated people" could read Latin and Greek.
If you don't think that's a qualification to be an "educated person" today, then you have to affirm that our standards for what qualifies as "educated" can change.
2. Women generally don’t like direct confrontation. They don’t like to be challenged. They like indirect communication and to shield their actions behind policies or pass responsibility to the group. This is largely why they more frequently become liberals.
The left sets up the rules of “neutrality” so that only liberals can act in the public sphere, only liberals can exercise power, and only liberals can punish their enemies.
If you buy into the liberal myth of the “neutral” state, you forbid yourself from punishing liberals.
MAGA actually loves cancel culture.
They pretend to love free speech... until they're exposed to speech they dislike.
Once they are exposed to a different worldviews, they reflexively seek to cancel, censor, assault, and vandalize to silence others.
1. Let’s talk about this. Here is the key pull quote:
“They give no credence to the guiding principles of limited government and instead are happy to use big government in order to win.”
Erickson doesn’t mean any of this. It’s a word salad of fine sounding phrases. That’s…
A growing number of individuals and groups on the right are turning their back on conservatism without giving up the label. They have abandoned the three-legged stool of fiscal conservatism, traditional values, and a foreign policy approach of peace through strength. Instead,…

A quick thread on features, and where we go from here (1/13)
3. What men get wrong is that they assume liberalism is primarily a set of disastrous policies. Men think all they have to do is show how bad they are. What they fail to see is that liberalism is whole world and life view that is generally more appealing to women than men.
1. This video is funny, watching her get mugged by reality. But, and hear me out, she is correct. Our cities and towns are not built around human flourishing. They’re built around the efficient concentration of businesses. The cost for this is passed onto average people.
So, if I am reading this thread right, the way to defeat the left is to do nothing.
Why is it that 4D chess move is always to do nothing?
Why is the response of regime conservatives and regime Christians to always do nothing?
There is a reason the Left has been teaching anti-white racism to kids in school for 20 years. Their goal has always been to create reactionary white supremacists to act as a foil for their communist movement.
2. The above worldview assumes that we are, as human beings, all fully autonomous individuals, monads which are morally and spiritually isolated and disconnected from each other. We have no connection whatsoever on any level with any other human being.
1. Carlson: “The one way in which the religions are different is that Christianity is specifically a non-violent religion. Jesus says turn the other cheek, don’t kill.”
This is unfortunate. It is not the core of our Christian faith. It’s a gross over-simplification.
James Lindsay has joint the ranks of Antifa. We all knew this moment was coming. It’s not enough to criticize the regime. A discontented liberal is not the same thing as a conservative.
12. Embrace the real meaning of this season. It’s not gift giving or family or special dinners, but rather the gathering of the community of believers to celebrate together the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, the Incarnation. The “Christ-mass.”
Just remember the reaction to J6. This is not a real protest. This is a state sanctioned and approved event that furthers the interests of the regime. Real protests, real opposition, real threats to the regime from the people are put down and punished. This is not that.
1. It’s “anti-woke” and “conservative” to dress women up skimpy outfits in sexually suggestive poses, essentially prostituting them to sell beer and fund political battles.
If this is “conservatism” can we just admit it’s an empty concept in America? There is no such thing.
At least he is straightforward about it. Many are not. TL:DR …. You are a fascist and a racist if you love beauty and if you think your own cultural heritage is worthy of praise and that the bland global soulless technocratic and modernist art and architecture that is the same…
🧵 On Those Classic Cultural Twitter Accounts
Someone on here questioned why I would say that accounts like the one below are dog whistles for white supremacy.
Well, ok. Let's do this.
This argument right here is why, for me, “white” is a political construct.
Until recently I have only ever thought of myself as an ethnic minority, a expat Dutch immigrant community bound together by the Reformed faith, Christian schooling, the Dutch language and our Dutch…
Tweet for white people ONLY:
Pls do your best to define your race’s culture—race, not nationality. Thanks!
Not asking about your Irish or Italian or even Jewish culture.
What about white people makes them white people?
What about your community makes it “the white community?”
8. The problem is fundamentally that liberalism more broadly suits the feminine disposition and conservatism is more generally suited to a male disposition.
If men learn to talk to women as women about politics, they eventually become liberals.
3. In these pagan cultures this was real. They understood that these statues were the focus of the worship of false gods, demons, principalities and powers. This is also why food sacrificed to idols was such a big deal in the early church.
There is this myth out there that public education is “neutral.” All education is indoctrination into a set of values, a way of thinking. If you are not intentionally teaching and raising your children to be Christian, the state will raise them to be regime progressives.
“Nationalism” was a tool of revolutionary liberals to undermine traditional communities to build the new liberal democratic national order. Now that liberals have moved on to globalism, they are mad that conservatives fell in love with the nation once their communities were gone.
Why did Trump fail? Because Trump led a revolt, not a revolution. A revolution has a plan for the future, a revolt does not.
“Even when a revolt succeeds temporarily, it does not know what to do with its victory.” Jacques Ellul
Trump’s failure in one sentence.
2. Far more important is the FACT of Trump and his relationship to his voters. The people who vote for him see him as a symbol. Your hatred of Trump is seen as your hatred of the American people who vote for Trump. If the system thwarts Trump it is a rejection of them.
3. This worldview asserts that any bonds which I make with any other person are completely and fully voluntary, and based entirely on our mutual consent which can be withdrawn at any time without effect. My actions are uniquely my own.
11. Today, we are realizing that we cannot leave society to the myth that there can be a vibrant, wholesome, neutral secular space. Without a robust, assertive Christian presence defining our shared public space, there is nothing living to nourish our society.
So, maybe I am misunderstanding this, but is she arguing that Jews are responsible for all of the country’s moral degradation and are behind the sexual revolution and the culture war, and are proud of it and it’s a good thing?
4. So someone, very likely a pagan convert who used to worship using this statue as a focus, made a conscious break with their past, breaking the power that the demonic entity had in their life, cutting off the face, carving the cross as an act of both desecration and devotion.
3. You reject their will when you reject Trump. When you prevent Trump from building the wall, you are saying to the people, “we love immigrants more than you.” When you prosecute Trump, you are prosecuting them.
As the church has become increasingly feminized and it’s message attuned to female sensibilities, it has emphasized servility in ways Jesus himself would never intended. I am not even sure we are culturally capable of properly understanding the foot washing scene anymore.
Of course, the real problem is not the actual gang rape committed by immigrants. They do not care that your daughters are getting raped. What they are really worried about is that this will cause a backlash, undermining their plan to bring in even more rapists.
5. And while we are the subject of looking back on the past, applying modern materialist categories backwards, Christian sexual prohibitions were not seen as restrictive, but in a world where sex was everywhere and tied to demon worship, Christian sexual morality was liberating.
4. Liberalism is based on the idea that people are more or less good, that they are born blank slates. People are good the way they are. The problem is with society and its systems, it’s form of government, its policies, its structures, laws, policies and programs.
Accepting cultural degeneration and deracination is a choice. You are the inheritors of the greatest culture in the history of mankind.
Act like it.
Don’t be part of the “cultural degeneracy is good because it’s fun…lighten up bro” crowd.
Honor your forefathers. Be better.
5. Liberalism thus takes responsibility for the society off the person and places it onto the social systems. This approach is generally attractive to women because it uses both indirect power (policies, procedures, laws and systems) …
Spengler on Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky:
“Tolstoy’s Christianity was a misunderstanding. He spoke of Christ but meant Marx. But to Dostoyevsky’s Christianity, the next 1000 years will bring.”
Homosexuals now demand that your tax dollars pay for surrogacy for designer babies so they can pretend to be married. What next? Forcing Christian women into surrogacy against their will. You naively thought that if you baked that cake they would stop. They know no limits.
Two gay men who both attended law school filed a legal complaint against the City of New York arguing that not having access to a woman's reproductive potential is a form of discrimination, and that they are entitled to have the City pay for a "surrogate".
1. Tucker is correct that we are becoming a one party state with a single unified political class, that is not interested in improving our lives. But he is wrong about the truth overcoming this. This is a liberal piety. That true discourse founds society.
1. This is a fundamentally liberal and progressive position and actually aid the regime in the destruction of its true enemy: Christianity and Christians. The secular right does not scare them. Practicing Christians, married with children in vibrant communities does.
Ugh... Heterosexuality is good actually.
Americans want the death of the nagging priestly class of activists and university neurotics, and they aren't going to replace it just another priest class
They want the 80s back... Make men horny in life instead of online.
But of…
3. They don’t care if this is memes into existence. The three letter agencies who are likely behind this win either way. They want women and weak men fearing an uprising so as to use this to act more directly against dissidents with the GAE, particularly on American soil.
6. … while allowing you to always affirm the person as person. Women are drawn to liberalism, I believe, because it simply suits them better in terms of disposition. Conservatives, emphasizing personal moral responsibility and hierarchy are generally off putting to women …
