    I'm not comfortable with anything, lol. The charming lady and RFK Jr don't stand a chance of having any near future impact about anything. They may influence a few minds, though. The problem is that there are zillions of competing ideas vs people in the parties who are really serious about power and winning at any cost. Note that Nancy Pelosi just released a book called "The Art of Power", which sums her up perfectly. The psychopaths always come out on top because they want it so much and every fiber of their being is dedicated to winning. The mass people, every four years, go on about "change" and the only change that happens is things get worse. I listened to a little of the Democrap convention and it's just scary how over the top enthralled those NPCs are. They scream for every speaker like each one is the Beatles. Then we have Trump claiming Taylor Swift is supporting him. FFS. It's all one big clown show and getting more extreme and bizarre every day. I don't think things are gonna turn out well in our lifetimes. The ONLY reason I can think of to vote is to keep the commies at bay.

    My favorite historical subject. I'll drop this here, as well as it provides valuable background and is consistent with extant material I've read written by eyewitnesses/participants. It's three parts, all readable with subscribing though I did subscribe because he's done such a great job: I’ve decided to write this brief summary of the Russian Revolution just so that readers of this Substack, at least, can understand where I’m coming from when I post about one of my main areas of interest: The Russian Civil War (1917-1921). I was inspired to do this after I wrote a summary of the Kuban Ice March for a post that reproduced a 1918 pamphlet describing that event and the early development of the anti-communist White Army. Historical documents are tricky because, even if the documents are interesting, the authors (understandably) assumed that readers would know about things that, 100+ years later and several continents away, they don’t necessarily know about. Even a bit of background knowledge can add a lot to peoples’ understanding of these documents. Some notes on this essay: I’m not trying to write a comprehensive history of the period or provide details on all aspects of Russian political life. I will be writing a few of these summaries over the next few months and I have a vague plan to introduce other subjects when they’re more relevant to the main drama. For instance, I don’t mention the Socialist Revolutionary Party, the Kadets, the Menshiviks, or other major political players in pre- and post-Revolution Russia in this essay. They’re all important, I’ll bring them up later, but my main goal here is to create an accessible narrative that the average person walking off the street can understand without much background knowledge. I’m not a professional historian, I work in marketing and dropped out of a film studies program in Canada after one semester, but I do read a lot of this stuff. If you’re looking for a more in-depth examination of the Russian Revolution, I strongly recommend Sean McMeekin’s book The Russian Revolution: A New History. That is, without a doubt, the best summary of these events out there. It’s very well-written and easy to understand. Everyone should read it.

    Yes, she is cute. Adorable. First time I've heard. Got about 20 mins and they're talking Bitcoin as a possible solution. I dunno.

    Made it nine minutes and that's all I could stand. Left it with him talking about restoring constitution protections while arguing for the continuation of a completely unconstitutional, unaccountable, forth branch of government, the intelligence community. I never liked the Heritage Foundation, anyway.

    AFAIK, the only cause of inflation is an increase the money supply. So, does that mean that to reverse inflation the money supply needs to be shrunk? If so, how would one do that? It can't be just tightening credit because the "money" is already out there. Totally agree about Trump and his signing off the worst increase in debt. I was mortified when it happened because I knew what the result would be.

    I'm in complete agreement with Claire Wolf and, especially, CS Lewis (most evil is banal and petty). Now, what does that have to do with being a lazy bones and not putting your cart back, which is simply a matter of personal responsibility and consideration for others, not government intrusion and theft?

    Just took a quick look here: http://neorxn.com/introduction/ I'm intrigued to keep looking. I'm disappointed that he tries to tie theonomists in with kinists, a lot of theonomists view kinists as heretics (not that I expect you to care as a non-Christian, just sayin' )

    Ethno-nationalists are one of the biggest problems in the theonomy movement, BTW. Most non-kinist theonomists tend to ban kinists (ethnonationalists) from the theonomy movement. I'm told they're more dangerous than they're willing to admit to in public.

    Good stuff, BTW. I'll take a look.
  3. As for which blogs, Mencius Moldbug's Unqualified Reservations is probably the best place to start, if you can handle his seemingly endless verbosity. He' the Neoreactionary Marx (in terms of scope and influence), so it's best to start at the beginning. I'd also recommend Nick Land, Michael Anissimov and Vox Day. The Right Stuff has some good writers, but they dip into antisemitism far too frequently for my liking; I am pro-Christian and pro-Jew (t least in some cases).
  4. The other two wings are techno-futurism and ethno-nationalism. Admittedly, this is something of a simplification. You could break them down into different groups, and debate where one group ends and another begins, and who belongs in which camp. It is a pretty decent description of the biggest trends in NRx though. I'm of the techno-futurist persuasion, with some flavor from the other camps thrown in for good measure. Here's a more complex breakdown of the major Dark Enlightenment players:

    And yes, I hate modernity as well

    Do you have any particular blog you'd recommend?

    What are the other two wings, just out of curiosity?


    1. Yes, you could leave for any reason.

    2. I would. I can't speak for anyone else. THough admittedly there is the question of how big it would have to be exactly. If you had one random household say they "secede" but they're engaging in homosexuality I would think they could be punished. If they want to start their own society the next county over, be my guest. Most recons are decentralizationists and I am too.

    3. Unfortunately if enough people conspire its hard to do anything, but there is a law allowing you to challenge a witness and if the witness is actually a liar they receive whatever penalty they wanted for you. But its true that if both witnesses and court are corrupt I don't know what could be done. I want to learn more about this.

    Honestly, from what I remember from your posts you're probably closer to what I believe than most other people here. You'd probably want to run a different type of society in part of what we now know as "The United States" which I'm fine with. I've only briefly read on Neoreactionary but from what I've read I'm pretty much in line with the general idea. And a lot of people at the supposed ultra-conservative Patrick Henry College DO NOT like my positions... oddly both for being too authoritarian and too libertarian at the same time.

    OK, so if you can actually find a quote (not a wikipedia article that doesn't actually quote him) saying that Gary North wants to stone people just for being unbelievers or that he wants to impose a global theocracy by force (key distinction, believing a global theocracy will eventually come about BY EVANGELISM is obviously very different) let me see the quote so I can denounce him. I definitely don't support that, and I don't know of any other theonomist that does either.
