Maybe in the rhythms episode 161 corporate life, corporate so-called culture, barioculture. Yes, that would be a real culture like Italian Renaissance culture or French 17th century high culture, large Foucault, same thing, corporate culture, office culture. But I mean work life in general now in America and to be fair, much of Europe and maybe Asia as well, Japan work life can be quite brutal, but I don't know enough about those things, so I will just talk about office culture in the United States now, which is such a homosexual humiliation, state-supported mass sodomy, but it's so unpleasant and degrading, and I mean the white-collar work, tech work, much of this that's, when I posted recently a longer, I should maybe write article on it, but I posted recently longer on this,

and a post on X made the rounds, the Xost, the impression on many people when I discussed proposals to rein in employer arrogance and to regulate the job search process that's now just full of so many scans. Because I think many smart men, I suppose women are affected by this too, but it would be mostly men. Many smart, capable men feel rightly is that no one is addressing their interests. So this may be why they liked what they say. Some of the posters in Frog Twitter had always talked about this. had gained actually international renown remarking on this, among many other things. Menaquin on four, for example, who had spoken in some detail and with great wit on this matter of the scam of modern work environment, the near impossibility also of building wealth

through a traditional career today for smartest and the most capable men even. But aside from us, there's really no one. There are some libertarian-ish billionaires, for example, Mark Faber, who have talked about how modern economy is just set up as a system of bad incentives so that everyone tries to get something for nothing and to fuck over, you know, so that for example, poor and single moms get large payouts and indeed there is system of race communism. It's been set up in form of unprecedented transfer payments to the underclasses. But on the other hand, the rich in response promote inflation because that lowers the value of these payments, as well as since they have hard assets with inflation that

value great increases, plus they can offshore production lines and so on, meanwhile middle class get fucked from both ends. But I mean it is same matter, same setup with employer arrogance. I talked maybe before on this show and have written about the distortions that happen in nations like Argentina and France, where if you are an employer, you hire someone, then you cannot fire them. So then it leads, right, that's another form of pro-social, even actually low-key communism basically, where you have to keep paying the way in life of even an incompetent or lazy employee or even an employee who does nothing at all, or otherwise you need to close your business entirely, you can't fire him. But on the other hand, there's the great vanity of employers now.

What gets lost in normal political advocacy in the United States is precisely what's most important. I think the interests of the most intelligent and ambitious men who are being de facto encouraged to drop out of usual career paths or even to leave the country because of how unpleasant whole business of finding and having a corporate job is now. And there's no one to speak for them. The old left was concerned with the fate of proles, of proletarian so-called, the new left with the lumpenproles, and with the welfare class, which in any case is more realistic. More realistic than the old left, I mean, in our day, because America now hardly has the millions of urban proles it used to have in the 1920s or 30s.

So being left now means being the patron of the lumpen welfare classes, whether in America or Europe actually, which is why they both have much to gain from importing poor clients from the garbage dumps of the world. And then, on the other hand, the supposed opposition, the old GOP, let's say pre-Trump, but even for Trump this was not a major priority, but certainly the pre-Trump GOP for sure it had this cult of work, of capitalism and monies that I'll talk about on this segment. It was very hypocritical because it assumed the free market existed, where none has for a long time. So really in a time when these matters most of all needed addressing, they basically abandoned and dropped white men with college degrees, and let's say even the smartest and most ambitious

among such men, who you presume you would want on your side. But the so-called opposition has just abandoned the opposition party, has abandoned them entirely. And instead, they piledrive only on this mendacious point about free enterprise, the dignity of work, unthinkingly taking the side of employers and management and to carry on as if it was 1950s United States or Japan in 1970s, 80s, where I'm not even sure it was true at that time and in those places, but at least you could make an argument that there was a satisfying life there rising in a corporation. You could build real wealth that you were not treated in a completely humiliating way. There are genuine opportunities for advancements and so on. But I don't know enough about that time. The standard for me would have to be

ancient Rome, where it's not private enterprise, or for example, take rising military Prussian you know, say 17th, 18th century and so on, where intelligent, competent men, I'm saying in both cases, when Rome and Prussia were given clear opportunities for advancement in life, and both them and the state profited by this, whereas it's pathetic to let your best go through. Let me give you examples, and actually I'll read you what I wrote so you see. I wrote it in the form of a proposal that maybe an enterprising populist politician could have as part of his platform. And it's interesting why this hasn't happened yet. I will read now a post I made. As long as we don't live in an anarcho-capitalist Austrian world, I mean one with real free

markets, potential employers abusing the hopes of young people needs to be strictly regulated. If some GOP politician wants to try for some of youth vote, propose to ban things like this, unpaid internships or employers demanding unpaid work. Two other easy proposals are banning anti-white discrimination and banning employers having any say in what takes place unrelated to employment as regards employee speech or personal lives, reputational risk considerations being made illegitimate, etc. These are just basic center-right and even liberal principles, it should be easy to argue them. I should have added ban H1Bs, that's a very easy fix, especially for American graduates of STEM programs. If you want them on your side, you know, I need to repeat this study, American engineers

just regularly put out much better product than H1Bs. There's related to this, the spaghetti code computing bubble, that means shit code built up on more shit code connected with this matter of you know outsourcing as apparently Boeing did until it gets planes with spaghetti software are you ready to go into your self-driving car sir self-driving car yes it's garlic breath you can feel the garlic breath coming down the code of the car through the air condition but anyway I continue of course the bigger problem is the perceived inability to build wealth today or have any meaningful long term advancement in a corporation which is also cause of cryptocurrency and other casino rides right this way cryptocurrency will just have periodic

bull runs regardless of its real-world uses people just want out of this dead end work life that's become normal now I this I think is another one of men aqued on four points I hope he returned soon anyway I continue but fixing that I mean fixing the general economic problem is probably outside the scope of anyone one politician but I keep interjecting yes I would welcome true free market return but that's likely only going to come if major reset and if all things are in place to take advantage of major let's say economic crisis reset otherwise if things are not in place you know worse is not better worse is only better if you know that you will win otherwise more probably a major economic crisis will just lead to more state control in favor of biomass

multiplication it will lead to someone like AOC winning but I continue if that fundamental problem was fixed and there was a real economy a hands-off approach could work but until then selective libertarianism just allows petty employer tyranny pushing for a right to work remotely and giving companies resources for this could also be popular the pandemic in large part destroyed the basis of modern society and the cult of work you might as well go with it and that's right okay I'm not saying this is a good thing but if you want populist measures here's one for someone to pick up off the floor nobody's championing this I wonder why but it's it's one of those things that could make the biggest day to day difference in people's lives nobody actually likes going to the

office in the morning and now being hacked by fat HR woman or coffee clutch in front of the right the stereotype water cooler with fat woman offering you donuts and it's all just a make pretend anyway everyone knows You're not productive for eight hours or whatever it is in office Anyway, I continue one of the most annoying things that when you are looking for your first job is fake ads absurd Multi-day hiring process and then abusive and arrogant employers who want you to maintain a degrading delusion That you're not there for money, but for the mission I say fuck off leeches this preys on young people in a difficult situation as well as related matter of companies that are not startups demanding from essentially daily but our wagey employees the same enthusiasm that a

startup would have okay I had friend in college he almost dropped out in fact later he told me he should have in order to have taken advantage of the tech craze at its height but he had his own startup and he was working sometimes I don't know 18 19 hour days but he was happy doing that that was for him and his friends, their own project, and in the end it worked out very well for him and also for his product. I don't tell, but it was a major thing that they built. But if you join even a good company now as a wager, you're not part of their partnership like that, and you don't have the expectation of a big payoff the way people in real startups do. Okay, so that's why they do all that work, to have a potential big payoff and maybe even

fame and so on but so to demand that amount of work or anything close to it and that kind of spirit and enthusiasm dedication when you know there's not that payoff seems to be amazing it's like an amazing scam okay in this case it's an employer taking advantage in this very cynical way like hey go get her this is startup and uh it's uh it's a way to try to get something for nothing on the part of the employer delicious tacos i had him on my show if you remember him He good writer. He's very funny. He had good funny description of a typical job ad built this way You know about passion. We're looking for passion. Why we we don't want to pay you So we want you to have passion, you know, and then I continued I continue reading this employer

For example is demanding I was replying to an employer complaining about some employee during the hiring process This employer for example is demanding the right for essentially limitless free services under the guise of a hiring process. A nice scam you can just dangle 100 offers and get 9,000 minutes of services free. He was demanding 90 minutes of work. But maybe at the end hire your cousin's girlfriend sisters anyway. Addressing this matter of employer entitlement and also the matter of anti-white discrimination could prove popular with young people as well as maybe their parents outside of usual red blue divide. I end reading, that was the tweet. So again let me just say this was a response to a job ad where the employer in middle of hiring process revealed that he was giving 90

minutes of whatever bullshit excel work as supposedly a test and okay was it actually a test to test the abilities of applicant or was it let me outsource work to this schmuck and I know there are already laws and regulations against this how much But how much are they enforced? How much are enforced? The laws I think are something to the effect an employer cannot receive financial or other benefits from tasks that are assigned during this assessment hiring process. But I know of many cases where these were done anyway and you could not complain about them and they had no intention of hiring anyway. Plus also you're wasting applicants time whether or not it's real work that you're outsourcing, wasting their time by not listing first of all the base offered wage as well as

all the steps of the application process to begin with you say I'm demanding too much maybe you are out of touch maybe you're geriatric maybe you are an old imbecile who don't know what jobs and career situation is today for and it's not just entry-level young and so on it's even people who maybe are not boomers but have been in a corporation for a while let me spell it out in an image which I've seen many times with friends and others both those starting out and those who've been in a job a long time you graduate let me take that example you graduate you may even have good grades you are however not especially well connected so you try to go through normal application recruitment process so leaving aside let's say recruitment

fairs which sometimes universities have which that also is hit or miss but if you go through normal job ads, let's say, you will get, uh, fine, uh, and I haven't looked recently, but a while ago it was 10-20% were just outright fake ads. As in, they're not actually jobs, they're bootcamps for employment in certain fields and so on, and, or, types of headhunters, and they ask people to pay them, excuse me, to pay them for further training or to look for jobs for you, but, nothing is guaranteed in small print you see, so actually maybe most of these end up being a scam. So just to get past this, because sometimes they masquerade even as real jobs, you waste time writing them, you don't find out until after you ask them.

You need to spam 200 resume applications just to have chance of being in communication even with compatible jobs that are real. Then for some you get called to interview. I understand why for high paying jobs, there are many rounds of interviews, maybe you have to meet various people in the company and so on. And it would be appropriate, let's say to have an exam. But for a job at IQ test, which is best predictor of performance, and which has been banned in most places, although some companies, I think can get around it. I hear Coinbase and such now have just de facto IQ test. That's no problem if it was the case. In fact, banning that, you know, and why they banned that, you know, that it's to help women and minorities.

But if that was still allowed, maybe some of these problems I'm talking about now would not exist. In fact, you could even skip the ritual of having young people who don't want or need it to waste four years in college, which is day camp, nothing is learned anyway. But that's not what's going on here. And there is no reason where the post I was responding to, for example, had a 90 minute redundant exercise that was not an exam. It looked like it was work or otherwise, even when it's not directly work that they assign out of their company, it's an attempt to farm ideas from applicants. And when the interviewer actually, in the post I was responding to, the interviewer admitted later that he had no intention of hiring Zoomers anyway, so

he wanted to get them to go through these hoops. Why you do it? And he did it maybe because people are cruel and wretched, right? Why are H1Bs popular despite the fact that most H1Bs again don't do as good a job as American engineers? And it's not just because you can pay them less, but because you get an employee who's entirely dependent on you because their visa depends on their employment. So if he looks at you wrong, if you talk back whatever they are deported, so you are essentially getting a slave. And many employers are acting on vanity and emotion and as a need to feel important and not necessarily responding rationally to economic incentives or they are venal as almost everyone is now and on a one year horizon at most. They don't think ahead.

So anyway, you go through this often superfluous, frustrating application process that's full of scams. Then you get hired maybe at the end getting called back two, three times for rounds of interviews and then you're faced with humiliating work environment or first of all you're asked to do things outside purview of your job for no money pick up much extra work no extra pay as a wagee employee that is you're not part again of a startup where you have real stake in company right so over time really is you're getting scammed and this is connected also to matter of employers offering so-called unpaid internships which often leads to no job at all at the end so it ends up being really should be counted a kind of robbery by

deception and especially egregious as it preys on the young and desperate to have no assets often no money are often in very difficult situation feel they must they must take this risk and so on very similar to kind of boot camp fake job application scams I mentioned unpaid internship is then once you get hired look I need to take quick smoke break I'll be right back to discuss in some detail the humiliations of life and corporation even after you've been there for 10 years maybe. I'll be right back. By the way, whenever you talk these things there's a tendency, audience, some of audience always assumes you're talking about yourself, your own experiences. I have very limited experience doing any of this. I could never work nor me corporation around normal fags and so

forth I never really tried it very it would have killed me I think to seriously try I I went through application process so I'm a bit familiar with that a few times but for example I I acted out during interview process so one time there was interviews for financial job and they had many rounds and I I couldn't take it even during interview process so I started to slouch back in chair in very exaggerated way and they got a funny look on their face then they would ask me questions like what do I like to do in my fun time my spare time, and I say I like to look at a wall, a bare wall. And in that case, actually, it was true. Before the internet, really, this wasn't before the internet, but it was before I really

used the internet that much, and I did like to just look at a bare wall, you know, but they didn't take it that way. They took it as a form of disrespect, which I knew they would, and it was was intended that way. Then, when the interview process ended for the day, and they wanted to put us in shuttle back to airport because they had paid for air tickets and so on, but I snuck out. And I went to downtown of this, it was a shithole city and I would have hated to live in Charlotte, a horrible city. And I went to downtown and I maxed out menu at steakhouse and then charge it to them you see and only then I I caught plane at last minute but I I can't do that I'm not offering myself you see as a role model or lifestyle guru or that you should do what I do in fact you

shouldn't do what I do I I cannot I would never be able to last corporate job and I I'm not good at infiltration I have loud autistic mouth and this kind of thing. So it's not that, but I saw very quickly this disgusting process. But I have many friends, however, who went through application process and got jobs, and some work for a long time in these so-called corporations. And so then once you do get hired, and this is a problem again that even long-term employees have, you're expected to pretend you're not there to get paid, but that it's because it's your passion in life, that you're really enthusiastic and hyped about the company mission and our office culture, our values, our principles, this kind of thing.

It's humiliating and a consequence of hypocritical pseudo-communism entrenched in the kind of this genteel American pro-social culture where you have to pretend money is evil, material displays evil. You know, of course we're not there for the money. You know this, the mindset of crazy rich Asians, if you've seen that movie, or the Donald Trump way of behavior, which is really, I think, an old respectable American capitalist mindset. But you're supposed to pretend that is something dirty. No, no, no. You don't want the gold and the beautiful women. You're there for the mission. It's your passion in life. It's a degrading pretense. And it functions as, I believe, another layer of scam to get you to do work you otherwise wouldn't do for further pay.

And connected to this is HR, Human Resources Flower Language Office Culture. I really think, Kabil Pagli, I was right, that political correctness comes, a lot of it comes out of this world, the genteel, oriental flower language office manners, where now your every move is watched, you know, by race and gender obsessed minders who are much more vigilant than, you know, okay, East Bloc workplaces had a party attache, that is good comparison, and the party minder at the office place, let's say you worked in a chemistry laboratory or whatever, there was a party attache, and they watched, their job was to watch people for language and lack of loyalty to the regime, but tell me what HR now is largely, if not

this, under the pretense of workplace environment regulations, which actually is codified into In other words, if an employer doesn't hire apparatchiks who do this, they're liable to get sued by an employee claiming hostile and discriminatory workplace environment under title Whateverburg, you know? And actually, they're much more strict than party minders who were in the East Bloc by the late 1970s or 1980s for sure in places like Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, or even more authoritarian places like Romania or Bulgaria where they often pretended not to hear jokes about the regime or the party that were made during lunch hour or whatever and where even if you made yourself a nuisance unless you were a major dissident with media attention on you and such, you would get at most fired.

They wouldn't send you to jail and after you got fired, finding a job as a heretic there was not as hard as in United States now if you're deemed a racist or a or a groper sexist and so on. And again, I don't know if boomers or some Gen X, some older Gen X even is aware of how bad this has gotten. There is no woke ebb. Okay, you've heard this, the woke tide is ebbing. What might be ebbing is the intensity over the black craze of 2020, which the Floyd thing, which was not sustainable. But this practice of political correctness is not ebbing. It's extreme since early 1990s. it's not recent, and it's not even primarily race-based, but the tyranny of women and sexual harassment, fakery in the workplace, where I know of three cases by now, I have friend who was let go recently for,

and this is not, he was not putting his hand on girls' asses in workplace, okay, or harassing them, calling them, anything like that. It's very mild, maybe off-color joke that could be interpreted in a sexual way that he told once, and you'll have to take my word for it that it was something very mild, and he got let go. Now he thinking of calling lawyer. I have another friend, I don't want to give details, but he was student at very prominent Law School, and he got let go from a very nice summer internship. Basically his career potentially derailed. I think he made recovery, but very serious, letting, if you are in Law School, you have summer internship, you get let go. It can be very bad for you, because those are usually the firms

that would hire you after or you need their recommendation and so on for other jobs. But when I heard it, I couldn't believe what he was let go for. It barely registered, that even sexual joke, it was some dumb half-autist question he asked once that I don't want to give identifying details, but you will have to take my word that it was, even being acquainted for many years with PC office hysteria, I was shocked that he would let go for something that small. And I have another friend who's black. And sorry, yes, I have black friend, is this okay? And he was okay. In his case, he's mentally ill. I mean, genuinely autistic. But he's also a genius and basically insane. But his genius level IQ and abilities. And I say insane in a good way. And he was let go for sexual

or rather making women uncomfortable or this. And in this case, he actually was saying insane things, but his being black did not protect him. And neither did, this is what astounds me because it was obvious in this case that nothing bad was meant by it because he's batshit crazy to any normal observer can see that. He's like probably diagnosably autistic, but it was an academic environment where, you know, it wasn't like he had to regularly interact with people. They should have just tolerated that and maybe isolated him socially in a polite way, but no, he was let go. And it's really, I think in the concern of a race, which is very real, but many are losing sight of the fact that the woman question is still

central and the tyranny in the workplace in this way is much more prevalent, you're far more likely to let go because of some cunt who despises you or wants your job or is jealous of you or she felt upstaged by, you know, so you made her uncomfortable and then you're much more likely to be gotten for that and for saying something racial. So when you look at all this, the scams in the application process, the arrogance of employers who intrude in your personal life in multiple ways, whether through human resources or at the very least by demanding work for no pay in various ways, and then you get blackballed if you refuse, you know, and then you ask you to pay for it, you don't really understand how humiliating that is unless you've seen it or experienced it, boomers are completely

out of touch. It's like when the party, the Communist Party, get in East Bloc countries, the party attendance at party functions was required for most white-collar jobs. And you had to go in an audience hall, everyone sat down, and there was some woman with the face of Brezhnev and the kind of eyebrow, you know, Slavic ape woman, talk with North Korean TV announcer Pep, and announce that the price of meat had gone up and that we applaud this Because it's good for the country and you are expected to applaud for 30 seconds that you would be paying more for meat And this is the same including large corporations Especially having just such conferences as I described demanding applause over various aspects of political correct speeches they give and there is no difference between

Let's say whatever JP Morgan mandatory attendance speech hall like this or a party meeting required in 1982 Prague but so maybe you know a lot of this already But what's strange to me is that no one wants to pick this matter and address it in any way or have any sympathy to it. The left okay doesn't care and will not. The conservative Chamber of Commerce party, the old pre-Trump GOP, they will not either. And it's not just because they represent actually the interests of employers and management and certain industries that they have a crony relationship with. But it's also they're just stupid. They are repeating things they think they're supposed to say. They're stuck in a Cold War discourse, have no idea on what work and career life has become since the 1970s.

And even the young pundit wannabes, you go work at National Review, you become a brown-noser to disgusting old people who are oblivious to any of this, what I've been talking now, so you have to repeat their bullshit lines. But what surprises me is that the so-called dissidents, right, the new alt media or the The populists, the post-Trump people, as they call themselves, the post-liberals, they ignore also this matter, and why? Who talks about this, whether it's more famous ones like Bannon, I don't know if Bannon himself, but those who follow him, or the opportunists at Compact magazine, or to speak of any major politician, but all of these, like the old left, they imagine themselves the vanguard of a working class that doesn't actually exist anymore.

And I understand the necessity of winning over the upper Midwest proles. That was Trump's path to success. But the exclusive focus on that and to turn that into basis for a theoretical anti-globalist, anti-neoliberal coalition, where you become the party of a supposed multiracial working class that again doesn't really exist and is not really a political actor of any note in any country, I think this is misguided. To be entirely ignorant of the interests or problems of college educated men who you abandon when they in fact make up the majority of... It's not just about the voters, okay? You have to win these votes, that small voting bloc, 10,000 extra votes in Michigan, stop thinking like GOP consultant is what I'm saying and nobody likes panderers in any case.

You're abandoning the men who are in large part responsible for all of the anti-establishment messaging who could form the core of what could be viable political or even cultural force and in the case of the GOP I don't know it seems to be entirely stupid to abandon the fates of intelligent men to where they either hate their jobs no matter how much money they make or they're looking to move abroad or they drop out of career race entirely this doesn't mean by the way they become poor necessarily many have gone as a you know in cryptocurrency and they never have to work again I know a few cases like that but basically the matter how much money they make, they consider the GOP the party of cuck slave corporate drones and it's lost them almost for good and there's something

dysfunctional is what I'm saying about the country that entirely ignores the interests and problems of its best people. This is why simple thread like I did hit nerve because unlike these other face fag pundits and many of the Bannonist populist or post-liberal let's say sort that have proliferated or even some of the so-called dissidents with libertarian-ish bent, but the experiences I refer to in that post are felt and known by a great people, a great deal of people first-hand, and no one except against some anons and frog Twitter have ever addressed this. It's astounding when you think about it. All the other face fags I've mentioned just leave it on the table. You know, you have I hate to mention names, but this is a radio show so I can get petty

and mention names, but you have Bonannia and Lauren Southern and these other influencers who on one hand talk only about nonsense things like the problem of pornography, right? That's a big problem in your life, right? Porn is oppressing you. You can't close the browser window. It's a major social problem, or neoliberalism, right? You have your first job, hyper capitalism, that's a big problem when 30, 40 percent, Sometimes over 50% of your earnings go right away to taxes. And these people want more taxes, because what's really missing is family-friendly policies like child tax credits. So Emilia from Oaxaca can crap out two or three more kids to fill the pews. Just pray, comrade, that's what's missing in your life. Did you cry about Palestinian children today?

Did you make an alliance with a nice Mexican man against the Trannies? And don't get me wrong, the tranny thing, you know, I talk that even in my book, we all hate that, but to focus on only those things at the expense of what I'm talking about in this segment, which is never addressed at all, and yes, I mentioned Benania and there are some libertarianish pundits, but if you read their proposals, it has nothing again to do with any felt problem by intelligent men who are bristling under a repressive anti-economic system, but it's instead more variations of kind of GOP consultant thing. What would be good for abstractions like the entire economy or such, or at most in the case of the new pundits who at least address the anti-white and anti-meritocratic element

of DEI, yes that it's good, but it's only one and actually a rather small part of what's wrong with corporate life. The woman thing, the HR thing, the disgusting corporate culture and the arrogance of employers and so on, that's more entrenched, longer running, something you're a lot more likely to encounter both in daily life and as a major obstacle to your ambitions. But this is the difference, you see, between the Anon and the face fags. Anons, a lot of anonymous posters, are smart men who address real problems in their lives and they're unimpeded both by popular or conventional opinions, the what would my wife thing, what would my girlfriend think, and also they are doing it without a view, mainly without a view to making a career in media or appearing on TV.

Whereas if you do have such pretensions or ambitions of appearing on TV, which is what all face facts do, they're basically frustrated TV pundits and they're using the internet instead of that, but there's no upside in that case to talking about any of the things like mentioning here because there's no TV or pundit economic biome that would pay or hire you to talk about this or even wants to hear about it. Populist retards would even consider addressing any of this as examples of elite concerns because you know to them if you're in the running for a good job or career you must surely be one of the elite class with secret handshakes, maybe blood drinking rituals and so on or you know it's it's bourgeois and déclassé to talk about this it's much

better to pretend you are leading the proletariat against the globalists, and to hypocritically smear anyone with, let's say, white-collar career ambitions or possibilities or prospects and suggest to others that they go into working-class trades or become a plumber when you never would yourself. And then on the other hand, like I said, there are a few libertarian and post-GOP commentariat who only act as brown-noses for the Kochs and the like, or rather even just for people who run publications for the coke industry so this matter which is of great importance I think because it concerns right look what is the alt-right so-called I don't mean the fake media version of what that is where they promote retards like Richard Spencer to smear any anti-establishment ideas and

maybe the word alt-right is not appropriate I'm talking about the anonymous phenomenon online since at least the early 2010s it's a lot of anons which is why there's an alternative anti-establishment at all and I want to remind audience of this the anti-establishment points such as they exist and have proliferated now have nothing to do with any of the pundits whose names you know the reason these critiques gained prominence right the definition of a face fag is someone who takes anonymous points and tries to become the public face of them all of the critiques the content I mean come from the anons and almost no face fag pundit do it right one possible exception is Tucker although he's moving in very strange directions lately that I

think will discredit him if he keeps going down that path but thing like Alex Jones is an embarrassment like friend called him recently a geriatric imbecile it's you know let's talk more about how the Tranny's are truly their genealogies the Nazi Party yeah okay the Nazi Party started in the gay club in the 1920s in Munich, the pink swastika, thank you very much Alex Jones, it's a big concern. But the rostis otherwise who put their faces on camera and talk about neoliberal atomization and the need for community and prayer because they didn't get the husband they wanted. This is complete embarrassment, this is not what anti-establishment criticism is. These ideas, the ones that matter, that are good, that are actually embarrassing to authorities,

they have only spread at all because a few anons have used humor, science and common sense to say things no one else was willing to say or notice since maybe early 2010s again. Many anons are very smart actually in many cases very successful people who are either upset at having been robbed of even greater opportunities for themselves or who in some cases they've done quite well but have watched others be robbed of such opportunities. And it's not, I think, about winning over a voting bloc. That is a settled matter in the sense you leave that to candidates. But the vanguard actually of any movement of change in history is precisely this. It's elites or potential elites who feel thwarted and who become defectors. And you want these people as a group on your side.

And right now, the message from all sides is if you're a white man or even other kind of man with good job or good prospects, you're one of the privileged and you're one of the elite and we don't want you, you are the class enemy. So the topic I've talked about on this segment is actually something that could cross party divides because I'm not saying you could peel off any significant element of the left or or even that you'd want to, but I'm saying take, for example, some center-left Democrat, even if it's not themselves entering job market or in part of difficult corporate situation like I've been talking about, if they have sons, they've seen some of what I've talked about – excuse me, they attack me – and maybe they're open to changing some of their

orientations to deal with these problems, but to what? Because what do they change them to? The left only cares about GNC, international race communism, and is against them as such. And then the old GOP is useless, stuck in 1970s senile Cold War discourse. And then the only part that could do it is the alt-media. You could say the dissidents, terrible world, but this new group of pundits. But you look at the major pundits and they also, oh, you're the class enemy, you're evil elite globalists, you have a secret handshake, we represent rather the salt of the earth folk. And these fantasies about working-class vanguard, multiracial, we're going to wear bellhop uniforms, or we are running a multiracial working-class party to ask for child credits and to ban

alcohol on Sundays, which really is actually in the end an update of the GOP consultant's delusions about family values, Hispanic immigrants, you know. So where can the people I've talked about turn to at all? And it's not a moral question of where, oh well, who helps them. It's if you want an anti-establishment line to win, this is the only way. You have to peel off part of the elite or part of the potential elite class, but they're not into, you know, being called globalist demons or talking about JFK relitigating Nixon and JFK or talking about demons in your iPhone or being Jesus freaks or fantasy problem like neo-liberal tanks plundering community prospects and how you need to pray and their son needs

to drop out and become a plumber and no offense to plumbers but again I need to repeat self a lot of this is coming from people, pundits who are saying this nonsense have college degrees they've never become plumbers themselves they have no idea what the lives of working class men are actually like the working class guys who are in frog twitter like stud the the bodybuilder, they don't talk this way at all. It's all guys with jobs at Soros-funded Compact magazine or something like this who tell your son to become a drywall banger like Hannity used to be. Please stop. Yes, by the way, Compact magazine, Soros Foundation, does Compact, do they deny this, by the way? Let them deny it, that they're getting funded by Soros. This isn't, I don't reveal sources,

but I know firsthand, and I'm willing to stand by this 100% that the man called Lenny Benardo from Open Society Foundation is going around offering money to people on the right, including Compact Magazine and that many of them have taken funding. And you'd think, right, you'd think journalists would be interested in things like this. Or in the fact that the same people funding the Daily Wire, the Wilkes Brothers, are also funding the retarded cartoonish anti-Semitism you see online on Elon's X now, which is all intended again to make criticism of American foreign policy in Middle East and of ethnic factionalism domestically to make these topics toxic to anyone in the so-called elite or potentially in it, as well as actually in this case to make it toxic to evangelicals and so on.

But anyway, that's another matter. If any politician or pundit is actually interested in addressing real-felt problems like what I've talked about on this segment or in that tweet, this is a matter again entirely left on table. Or you can otherwise keep talking about pandic fake debates over what is now the birth rate as if anything has ever been successfully done about birth rate or a lack of community due to hyper-capitalist, hyper-sexualization or yeah, child tax credits for based Filipino drywall installers, while the only people who actually do and could make a further difference have their problems ignored and are abandoned into this kind of wasteland hell of let's applaud corporate humiliation. That's good. I and my friends will continue to talk these things then.

I go to break now, I'll be right back. Welcome back. The problem of work, of career, how unpleasant it is and prospects of reform being far off of course, I'd like for my friends not to have to work at all. The preferred path for this recently has been cryptocurrency. Whatever its future prospects, it may be a useful casino in short run. You know, high risk, but I know a number of people who did very well on this. But beyond that, I think a universal leisure society is probably a kind of hell whose outlines of such society already appear in our time. For example, you go Hong Kong on Sundays, all the public areas are taken by maids, mostly Filipinas on their day off. And they go, there are other maid friends in every, whether it's the parks, which are overrun. Hong Kong has

very nice urban parks, look great with skyscrapers in background like New York Central Park, to overrun otherwise on Sundays after afternoon or even smallest square plaza of city even like a clearing on the intersection is become Filipina picnic hour it's annoying site that's reproduced in many other cities with variation Buenos Aires parks are beautiful but also on Sundays all the Indios all the Morocho servant class they're all out in their large brood of kids in the parks. Same thing, a kind of apocalyptic feeling. And this is actually also cliche in East Block 2, by the way, where there were still maids and it was cliche that the parks on Sundays are full of the help on their day off. I'm sorry if you find me

talking this elitist, you know, gives me a break, please. You give me a break. Who likes to see that kind of thing. It's not just the maids on day off or, you know, in Rio de Janeiro on Sundays, I stay indoors all day, because asking a young person there, it's the day of the olds. It's all old people at cafes, they come, they see their grandkids, but it's mostly families of olds. And in general, weekends and Sundays are depressing in any city because of this phenomenon, or many tourist phenomenon, so I stay in all day. I put shutters down and I sleep all day. I'm sorry if you find this gay. There is a line about this in Mishima book, Forbidden Colors, but imagine every day being this way. Would you like that? And not all the public, just all the public spaces

turned into kindergartens for tours and into nursery homes. And then there are the Instagram cunts. You know, also part of leisure society, Insta whores, basically any popular tourist destination now it's them, but also other people taking photos of their coffee, people taking photos of front of Apple store, you see on street a fag taking photo of himself in front of the Montclair store, a beach in Bali, you've maybe seen joke photos of this, but it's very accurate at sunset, at popular beaches in Bali or any similar location, it's all just rows of Instahorse taking photos of themselves or someone else doing photo op of them in front of the sunset. And then a related phenomenon, I sense a related phenomenon in the rise of China, a kind of

incipient hell with the nigrified culture of China. It's all about brands. They've bid up the prices of luxury goods so much that they've become cheap. It's a cheap feeling. My favorite prostitute for a while in Brazil, I would ask her about her other clients. I like to hear stories of strange things that happen and she would tell me the typical Chinese man she saw he had Versace sunglasses a Gucci visor Balenciaga this or that and it's all from head to toe just all new spic and span and like a billboard for various name brands none of them fit into a hole none of them chosen for anything besides showing off that you're wearing a brand I've maybe complained to you already what they did with Cuban cigars especially Fidel Castro favorite

Cohiba brand, which you may hear snobs saying they don't like it. I think it's great. I happened to buy it by accident one time. The cigarillos I started with, I noticed it made me feel much better, and it was very good taste, and even at that time, this was maybe 2021, that's about when I started smoking, one of the full cigars, which was too strong for me, would give me nicotine poisoning. I mean one of those cost maybe twenty to twenty-five dollars, which in my view that's expensive for a daily cigar But now the average is seventy dollars I think you have to be retired to pay that even if you're nigga rich excuse if I repeat myself but why is it this way because the Chinese buy entire boxes of it not because

Excuse me. They enjoy tobacco effects or the taste of it, but because they're slavish brand consumers They know that's what you're supposed to do. That's what's done That's what they rich people do and so they want to be seen smoking a coquiba sometimes and meanwhile Actually the price of the small the the cigarillos hasn't really gone up Too much. It's about the same price is the but it's the same tobacco from the same part of Cuba. So, you know Yeah, but I recommend you switch to Casa Plasencia instead It's Cuban family that moved to Nicaragua and they make organic cigar much a much better price and are basically as good I can't I just can't get them easily abroad but you get a reservoir original Casa Plasencia easily in United States and it's under ten dollars for a

Big corona size or less for the they call it Nestico small size and it's a very pleasant Smoke with a good taste. It's the only as far as I know organic tobacco in the world for cigars I mean, but this kind of bidding up. It's not just that they make prices inaccessible again again It's just a cheap it becomes feeling of mass-produced luxury, right? So I'll give short anecdote from friend I hope I'm not being in the street this billionaire or almost billionaire friend that he goes to dinner with Chinese counterpart and topic of wine comes up and this Chinese tycoon is Talking talking about he's got a wine cave and he brags about how he has a whole floor of some skyscraper it's full of just cheval blanc wine and he's got hundreds of bottles of the

cheval blanc wine which is a Bordeaux wine I think extreme expensive very famous it's you know it's known as a bro wine in much the same way I guess that the Cohiba cigar is a bro cigar like I imagine finance bros they go steak dinner and wine they order this bottle cheval blanc Bordeaux wine so this guy I asked the Chinese, so if you have so much of this, you collect your wine collector, you must have extensive array, otherwise of great and rare wines. What else do you have? What are your other favorites and so on? And the Chinese answers, actually, I've never tried any other kind of red wine. I only drink Cheval Blanc. So, you know, it's like the Filipina maid came into a billion dollars, so it makes everything cheaper. It's like gypsies naming their kid Magnum Rambo Stallone.

It's same idea. Imagine the whole world at that level. It's a kind of, hell, it really does prove, I think, what Schopenhauer said, right? I mean, the man, that man moves between poles of pain and boredom, and that once the problem of daily life is taken care of, in the vast majority of cases, then people fall into the torments of boredom. And he has this great image of the rich man who's worked only for money his whole life, and he's filled his head with nothing interesting but the accumulation of this, and then, and work and this, and then once he has the money, he doesn't know what to do with it, so he just goes from city to city asking where is the social club is the first thing he asks, in the same way that the poor man asks where is the almshouse, where is the charity soup kitchen,

having no interests otherwise to concern him. But yes, you see, universal leisure could very well be a kind of hell. I don't remember if it was Montesquieu or said, eh, never mind, I will not start to talk about this. What was the never mind I was going to go on a rant about the promise of the Enlightenment, but It's not quite what it was promised, but you can't do anything to stop this I talk with some tech friends They say they want artificial intelligence to be competent enough to make robots actually Autonomous robots that will allow the American middle class a kind of freedom from chores similar to what the Latin Americans have with maids you know if you're an engineer in Bogota you will not make so much money on paper but your living

standard in my view will be much higher than any of your counterparts in the first world I mean everyone talking now about anti-semitism and this but just to go on a quick aside Hugo Chavez was engaging in this kind of anti-zionist thing that you see now with the Palestinians and so forth and the Jewish community in Venezuela was foaming at the mouth about him he's a bad guy which I don't like Hugo Chavez for other reasons but he was targeting not just the Jews by the way he was also targeting the Lebanese and the other white people in Venezuela they had about 15% of the population and predictably They run the entire economy. And he was only attacking both Jews and Lebanese because they are the owners of the property, so he's a filthy GNC communist.

But in American press, if you were to listen to it, it was, oh, he was specifically anti-Semitic. Of course, he was not. It's the same as these campus protesters now. But you will have noticed, maybe, that Venezuela still has a Jewish community. Despite his virulence, they did not decamp and leave and go to Israel or other nations that would have accepted them. You want to know why? It's because of this, that life is pretty sweet. When you are an elite in South America, you have a retinue of maids and anyway, if that can be done for the American middle class, I think that's a good thing. But that's a kind of a side point. That I've said before, sorry to repeat self, after many shows it's inevitable, but something

that takes away your daily chores is a far bigger change to your life than any material good – a bigger TV, better card, larger house, whatever. And I suppose that the Latin American elites – this may be changing now – but on top of this virtual slave society they've had for a while, they had established for themselves a relatively genteel and pleasant life of leisure. That is true. It was vulgar and glitzy, but not as much as the Chinese that it had. Its true refinements and pleasures of life, where they enjoyed genuinely elegant and nice things. They spent their time learning languages, had good manners. Their girls were beautiful, their elite girls knew how to dance. They knew how to be sexy in conversation and elegant and the like.

But lately, for whatever reason, their society also is breaking down and their daughters are fucking thugs or whatever, but look, regardless, I'm not saying that having a national leisure culture can't lead to higher things. In fact, it's a prerequisite. Burghardt describes the ancient Greeks this way, that the daily chores and cares for life of a relatively large urban class was taken care of in ancient Greece, that is, in the typical ancient Greek city, what would correspond today to the upper middle class was quite large, it was relatively easy to get into it, I'm saying relatively easy, of course they had slaves too, that was a necessity for this to take place, but it was a relatively large urban class that didn't have to conserve itself too much, with its upkeep, meaning

working for a living, and so they could devote themselves entirely to the Agon, to this central – I don't like the word institution – the central fact of ancient Greek life, the spirit of competition. Well, you know, they tried to best each other, first of all in athletics and such, but also in artistic and intellectual and then political competition. But that's not where modern universal leisure society seems to be going. It seems to be the universal made days off and Instagram and Chinese nigs showing off Montclair, and I feel ultimately because of this drab tediousness, it might even lead people just to hook up to VR headsets because fundamentally you're universalizing the liberation of a castrated peasant society all around and very fast and without any taste for culture

or nice things. But anyway, depressing to think about. Something related to matters I've talked so far, let me slightly change subject. But something quite related is this problem of the Ned Flanders type, which Scott Laughlin, he wrote a very good recent article. And I will read now all of it for you because it's short and it's so good, I may interject times to comment, but it's such a good article. It's called Towards an Understanding with Ned Flanders. This is from a man's world magazine, very good magazine, I write for it too. I read now, Ned Flanders is a personality type any kind of right-wing movement has to deal with. They are nerds who marry other nerds, or are in some subculture, consisting of remnants of a past society at least somewhat preserved, such as the Mormons.

The psychological type of Ned Flanders used to be a sort of median of society. Unfortunately, they are so out of touch with normies and the current year conditions of society, it has become a form of insanity. Ned Flanders has a lot going for him. He makes a good neighbour, keeps his lawn trimmed and will help you shovel your car out of a snowbag. In wartime, he'll uncomplainingly serve in the army no matter how in-basile the reason his country is fighting a war. He loves his wife and kids and attends religious services. He even manages to remain somewhat physically fit while having a lucrative profession and a family. Ned Flanders' main problem in 2023 is solipsism. He lives this way and doesn't understand why others can't.

Ned Flanders doesn't understand he lives in some narrow subculture of wholesome people who have their shit together. Or clueless nerdoids who remain in some social Ozzie and Harriet time capsule. There are examples of each. Ned is a conservative. Nobody told him the society he's trying to conserve died out 75 years ago. Ned lives according to the old rules, but the actual conditions on the ground are not conducive to this for normal people. Unlike, say, the Amish, Ned doesn't understand that their world has fallen and we live under different conditions today. Josh Hawley is the most public current-year Ned Flanders. Like the fictional Ned Flanders, he's a good egg and we're lucky to have him in Congress. He occasionally stands up

for things that any sane person should support, sometimes standing alone. All admirable qualities. Like all neds, he's probably a good neighbor. Holle wrote a book allegedly on manhood, but mostly about his own life and biblical views. It's something that would have seemed hokey and out of touch 80 years ago when there were still a majority of people who lived like this. If only man would have good character and observe the ancient virtues, marry and have kids, well, things would be hey diddly do, wouldn't they, borino? Yeah, no, not really ned. Traditional people face serious issues, like the fact that some huge fraction of the country are mentally ill, obese, and not only disbelieving of the former common decencies, they are actively

hostile to people like Ned and seek to destroy their ability to exist. There's something else about Ned. Ned is afraid of his wife. The Ned Flanders on the TV show has an amusingly hand-pecked home life. Sure they all do. Even when he doesn't, his life revolves around his family. As the philosopher Francis Bacon puts it, He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune, For they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. This was true when Bacon wrote it in 1600, a time when burning witches was still considered an important government function. This was true long before no-fault divorce, eye-potato dating, and having your eight-year-old pick his gender. This aphorism is even more true now. Exceptions are so rare as to be not worth talking about.

Yes, let me interject. He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune, for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief. That's not Bronze Age pervert who's trying to turn you gay or this. It's Francis Bacon. Please, I continue. Problems of the current year require groups of men who cultivate excellence of mind and body. Ned Flanders is busy being a honeydew. Even if Ned has a job with Ben Shapiro, writing toothless right-wing invective or going on podcasts to make opinions, his thoughts are of no importance. His ideas for reforming society aren't important, they aren't even connected with elemental facts and there is no plan for moving from the current year to Ned Flanders' utopia of happy normal kids and well-manicured lawns.

Ned Flanders is probably the guy who will fire you for not getting some experimental science juice, excuse me, experimental science juice, or using language which is a little too fruity. He will at least go along with it and circle the wagons with the rest of the creeps who want Ned's kids to have blue hair, pronouns and nose rings. Flanders has mostly gone along with creeping totalitarianism for the last seventy years and he'll continue doing so because otherwise his wife might get mad at him. Whether or not his wife is hypnotized by the electric devil in the living room or in her pocket, some of her friends are. Women fear social disapproval in the same way men fear death. Since Ned's life revolves around his wife and her needs, he has become a spiritual church lady himself."

Yes, I interject. That about describes the conservative commentariat in the United States, and I say 100% of it with if any exceptions exist. They're mostly irrelevant. I continue. The Ned Flanders types in the conservative movement are spiritually dead. You can see this in their pathetic and humorless attempts to come to terms with our friend BAP. Russ Douthat, making a fool of himself, managing to lose a Twitter argument with BAP in his own Catholic minstrel show column for the New York Times. The outrage of the others that someone like BAP might say things and make funny jokes which displease Big Mummy is also illustrative of their spiritual indolence. It was the same with Trump, rat-like scurrying at bold and important truths couched in humor. How dare he say things?

My wife will get mad at me if I don't denounce the bad man. The rare occasion when Ned Flanders can muster enough thumos to give a shit about anything – it's either people politicizing their m-sports bowl, transgendered beer commercials or someone attempting to molest their kids at school. It seems a little bit late in the game to notice the latter at least. Ned sat around like a lump wallowing in his squalid family life while most of western civilization marshaled its powers against him. I have a feeling he and his wife will find a way to fuck even this mild sort of rebellion up as they have the attention spent of celery. William F. Buckley is the one who mobilized the Dead Flanders type again back when people like this were demographically relevant.

Back then, actually right-wing people had their own broad social groups such as the John Birch Society. Buckley and his church ladies excluded them, mustering the prune-faced social disapproval of legions of church lady men while letting in thousands of actual Trotskyist neo-cons to positions of authority because they claimed to have a come-to-Jesus moment and were more club-able and went to the right schools. Ned continues to attempt to police people on the actual right as if he had the demographic weight he did in 1965. He can't. His time is over, and outside of his narrow subculture, he is finished. I'll say it again, Ned Flanders is a good guy, but he's clueless and irrelevant. He's the type of numbskull who will try to tone police a presidential candidate because he

doesn't act like Dwight Eisenhower. We know this kind of person is politically irrelevant because Jeb was not the 2016 Republican candidate for president. Mostly, Ned should be ignored. Acting like Russ Douthat or David French has a political constituency which makes them worth listening to is sort of like acting as if bronies have a political constituency. Bronies probably represent a larger and more effective class of people than Ned Flanders does. It's somewhat cruel to make fun of Ned, but it's probably necessary. In any case, such spiritual church ladies should be mostly ignored. Let them waste their lives arguing with shit libs about sports ball. Don't mistake them for people who make sound decisions, have insight into anything or who matter in any way. Yes, and do you like this?

I will add to this that the left, broadly defined, had long established itself as the party of science, progress and freedom against the obscurantism, prejudice, backwardness and religious fanaticism of the right as also against intolerance, authoritarianism, these things also being associated with the right and these last were embodied in the right-wing Prigg Killjoy, the stuffed shirt so-called, the vapid careerist, the corporate drone, the nurse ratchet, the prudish establishment apparatchik, and many other types who were successfully and arguably I think justifiably lampooned and caricatured by leftists and liberal satirists, moviemakers and so on for decades. And these traits were also successfully associated to sexual repression in the popular mind.

And in this way the left won much of the youth and the feeling of freedom and for the future. And many conservatives and right-wingers in turn embraced some of these caricatures in constructing their own self-understanding and public image, generally the type that Laughlin describes in this article. In other words, they play the role of leftist caricature for leftist media. Leftist media and its conservatives then found a kind of symbiosis in this. There could always be a media role, right, for the token right-wing loser, the caricature of the conservative as a minstrel show, as patsy. And so quite aside from the willingness of the conservative minstrels, and I mean pundits to play along with these clownish prototypes, these caricatures of the right I think were

unfortunately often, let me hedge at least in part, accurate, based on reality. But Scott says about the Ned Flanders, yes, it's a type, mostly harmless, even nice, but it can become a caricature when he tries to public commentate the way Josh Hawley comes off as a prig when he tries to tell men to put away video games and porn and this kind of thing. And now I see Elon is just doing it, talking of men are pursuing hedonistic sexual satisfaction and not children completely out of touch with what is actually leading to low birth rates if that is your concern or what the courtship market, whatever you want to call it, is today in United States and much of Europe. But I guess Elon sees some type of popularity to go after Tucker's audience or that kind.

I don't know why he is going down this path. It's retarded to be however big wastes of time porn and video games are and I'm not sure games are a waste of time any more than any other kind of entertainment but nobody wants to hear a guy with Josh Hawley haircut or now Elon saying this type of thing furthermore this kind of commentary actually attracts much worse type who wear the Ned Flanders skin as a kind of a deceptive sheep outfit let me explain Ned Flanders has another aspect that Scott I think would agree with but it was short article he didn't get into this they have a very edited vision of what nature is. I have a friend writing on this matter on the Ned Flanders or the social conservative commentary on music for example and you may have heard what

their usual complaints about music are about the rock and roll before and now it's about hip-hop or rap which I myself don't like these but for different reasons then they don't like them but you know this is kind of school marm attack on the rock and roll previously directed at actually a higher brow level against certain kinds of classical music, by the way, too. Not only the case many may know of is Wagner. And Wagner festivals were, I will not say they were the rock and roll of their time because they weren't popular or populist. They were not, let's say, for a pop audience in the same way. They had an educated audience, but they inspired similar ecstatic enthusiasm and they were kind of mass phenomena in their own way.

And so this is why you have people, by mass phenomena, I don't mean that they were for mass society. They were total works of art that reproduced some of the feelings of a religious festival that a number of people could participate in, not just as an audience. And so this is why you have people like Steven Pinker, at least in one of his previous incarnations. The Ned Flanders type transcends the left-right divide, actually. But you had Steven Pinker complaining about the ecstatic aspects both of rock and roll and I think also of Wagnerite music from the left. Then you had David P. Goldman, Spengler for Asia Times, from the religious conservative right attacking Wagner for the same reasons, along with, of course, as you know, many others

like E. Michael Jones and a large number of Catholic intellectuals like Robert P. George with a carrot in his ass, but it's not just Wagner. I found some quite amusing denouncements of Scriabin in the 1930s by English conservative musical authorities calling his music evil and egotistically erotic to the point of mania and many other such schoolmarm things. And anyway, the conservative line on all this music is to emphasize or other similar things regarding art or is to emphasize the order of nature and the intellectualized conception of good, with a capital G, as foundational for the natural order. They like these kinds of words. Everything tends toward the good, with a capital G, with God as the linchpin and guarantor of this conceptual order.

I'm, in some sense, greatly simplifying, but in another, not really because, aside from these kinds of words I'm saying, there's not much to go on here. I mean, there is, of course, in the original source materials that these people are going from in the Platonic and Neoplatonic visions of the universe. Although I disagree with them, there is a lot, but the conservative restatements of these things are usually a kind of pious, cant homilies regarding things like the natural order of the good and the true again with a capital T and the high, the noble and what is an ordered soul and really maybe it's a restatement of the banal and deceptive beginning of the Bible in Genesis where God created all and he saw that it was good.

And so in the hands of the conservador philosophical Flanders, I mean, this kind of talk becomes a kind of apotropaion, a kind of ritual invocation of words and sentiments and symbols to try to edit the messy and chaotic elements of nature, to edit them away from consciousness. the opposite of the tragic view of the ancient Greeks it's to relegate these things to something illegitimate and in most cases let's be generous and say that all of this is sincerely meant on the part of a Ned Flanders dork type who let's say genuinely you know as a nerdoid he doesn't want to face this to put it in a vulgar way does not want to see his woman looking at another I don't mean to get too graphic and vulgar you know what your wife did when she was 20

But just that's just a small thing just to begin with right there completely delusional about Womanly nature, but you can see what I'm getting at that in this denial of the dark parts of nature It's not just the Ned Flanders type who could be attracted to this There are much worse types the ex slot for example eager to wash away her past in the fake redemption and Maybe to ensnare a Ned Flanders for herself and then also the ex gay or the highly repressed gay who wants to pray away nature and dark things so-called for other reasons and many times these lines are blurred as in many of the Ned Flanders type commentators online are girls now these are the ex-sluts they demand respect and then there are the repressed fags who may even think that they are Ned

Flanders among who I would count most of the integralists if you're not from United States maybe you would know would not know that much of the conservative movement in America, the so-called D.C. Circuit, Washington, D.C. movement conservatives are Catholic, intellectual, ultramontanist integralists who write or want to write for places like First Things or Compact and who have fake so-called Groip or Alsnow screaming Kriska with Kang on Elon Twitter, and that the European right stretching to Nietzsche and Organization Consul is a Talmudist conspiracy that stops them from playing the gay away. That seems to be the developing line. But anyway, the thing is that what I just said now regarding Nurse Ratched and the party upper ratchet type, that is the left now.

They become establishment and they've become that and they're easy to take down because of that. I think the left's natural home is to be that, to be a moralist scold of that type. That's inherent to the leftist frame. It's only while the left was in opposition to, let's face it, a hypocritical conservatism that was itself hollow, but for that time it attracted briefly freedom-loving types who were, I think, mostly attracted to the spirit of the fight and to freedom rather than to the moral ends of the left, which are necessarily bleak, I think. But once the left achieved cultural dominance, it has to turn whatever is well turned out and strong and free. It's naturally the party of spiritual cripples and their caretakers.

And many of the 1960s famous hippie icons, by the way, as Puglia likes to say, they burned their brains on psychedelics and the ones who inherited some of the language of that time were the party apparatchiks and so and to leave this on the ground I mean when in fact the avant-garde was not primarily even a left-wing phenomenon to begin with I mean if you look before 1950 and at times even after the avant-garde was a right-wing I don't mean conservative but a far right-wing radical right-wing phenomenon which is why I keep promoting men like Celine and Mishima and Junger and if you know in Montorlant and if you want some some reflections of maybe playful things like that in pop culture, there is David Bowie

or Boyd Rice, but there are many others who follow Nietzsche especially, and to leave that on the ground when that is obviously the path to winning the most intelligent youth and therefore winning the future, that's a good example of why conservatives are nothing like me, they're mostly useless, and I know very well that whatever temporary alliances may exist now against the left, and all of you should hear this, the conservative will almost always just stab you in the back in the end, you know. But mostly they're useless people who don't want to win, who can't win, who are happy reconfirming the left in its ownership of the youth because they're either Ned Flanders or much worse type stuck in a kind of self-limiting denial of nature and they want to reconfirm a kind of church lady

deceptive moral veil over things and over themselves. But crushing the good, rejecting this path entirely, a path of the conservative, an embracing avant-garde of yes of decadence and caustic humour that dissolves all conventions, and the path of the amoral happy warrior, that power that is the only path to win. Until next time, Bap out!
