A lot of the annoyingly bad takes and shortsighted conclusions within DR are the result of a lack of imagination. Some people don’t realize how much more dangerous things could be, and likely will be in time. But these hyper black pilled DR folks don’t have the imagination to appreciate the few things that we do have right now working in our favor. They just see the gradual decline and curse everything good that we have for not automatically giving us a perfect world on a silver platter.

I guess it’s hard to appreciate a dam holding back a river of shit if you haven’t been drowned yet, so it’s easier for you to criticize it when you see a couple of cracks that are starting to leak, “see, these dams don’t do anything!”

Cultural genocide isn’t just brainwashing, propaganda as education or destruction of cultural artefacts. It entails the killing of the culture-bearing stratum of a nation.

“Denazification”, which is to say the destruction of Ukrainian national identity necessarily means killing the right-leaning part of Ukraine’s culture-bearing stratum.

I don’t trust Zemmour, but it’s great to hear this be declared with such conviction.

I sometimes wonder if the current dissident right itself is part of a greater psychological operation to demoralize and black-pill White men into surrendering all of their rights and giving up on their nation — I’ve often heard rightwing guys saying that they’d never defend their own community, even their own women, if it were militarily invaded by a foreign country.

The ruling class didn’t bring us clown world for clown world’s sake, they don’t really care about gay rights nor diversity, it’s just a means to an end, and one obvious goal for the ruling class is more control over everything, that means more control over you. When you look at it this way, it’s easy to see a situation where these hyper black-pilled people (as seen so often within the DR) will be made to feel so desperate that’ll give up all of their rights to that same ruling class (or anyone in power) in exchange for an end to this clown world. This leads you to wonder: maybe that was the whole point of clown world all along.

It’s like a pest control company introducing pests into your property so that later you’ll pay any price for their services. You’ll waiving every right your ancestors ever fought for to anyone that just promises to restore “order,” even if it’s a new world order.

Create a problem and some people will accept any solution, even if it’s ultimately worse for them than the original problem.

All the problems of "capitalism" identified by Leftists are really problems of industrial society as a whole, and these problems can be somewhat mitigated by things that preserve community and foster unity and pro-social behavior (religion, nationalism, traditional culture, etc.), all of which Leftists explicitly want to destroy.

Leftists just complain that they aren't the ones in the driving seat, and then tell everyone that if they were in the driving seat, they would create an even more pervasive, totalitarian, and centralized version of industrial society and then destroy all of the things that made society tolerable in the first place.

I’ve recently moved to a place where one is likelier to find Ukrainians than Russians, and so the running gag of me being mistaken (well… not really) for a Russian has been put on hold, and now people assume I’m Ukrainian.
I’ve found that this is mildly offensive, not because I dislike Ukrainians, but because I resent the implication that I, a fighting-age, able-bodied man, would leave my country at a time when it is at war. It is a kind of insult against my honor as a man.

There’s no hope for the Chinese that suddenly cry for freedom, they don’t care about freedom until it’s too late, because freedom isn’t something they intrinsically value the way Europeans innately do. Their reward: more covid lockdowns in 2022 with drones flying around, reminding them on loudspeakers that the freedom to even open their windows is a liability. This is what certain people are calling a “based and illiberal” country.

The problem for many Nationalists is that they think entirely in the abstract. One is either a Based Statist or a Lolbertarian with nothing in between and no real-world basis for their beliefs, and their fetishism for an authoritarian State simply ignores what the State is actually enforcing.

First and foremost I am a Naturalist, that is that I believe in a natural, biocentric and organic world independent of myself, which has existed long before me and will exist long after me. Maybe I was raised on too much David Attenborough as a child. My opposition to many things in modern politics are born out of the belief that they are simply unnatural and thereby morally evil on that basis alone. Can you imagine any other animal having an identity crisis and cutting off its genitals? No, it has to survive and reproduce, it doesn't have the luxury for such naval gazing and frivolous nonsense. For the most part I see human consciousness as a mistake because of how much we can think ourselves against our own natural inclinations and instincts.

The idea of 'Freedom' in this sense is not a political value or a matter of choice, but a state of being in accordance with one's own nature. The State has a duty to be as concurrent (within reason) with Nature as possible, not against it, otherwise it will inevitably collapse. Having a drone tell you "Please comply with Covid restrictions. Control your soul’s desire for freedom. Do not open the window or sing" is not a matter of Freedom for Freedom's sake, but a matter of this being just absolutely evil and unnatural. Its being Liberal or Illiberal is irrelevant here.

This brings me onto the metaphysics of all this. The division appears to be between Platonism and Nominalism; the former is the idea that there exist absolute, universal and ideal 'forms' of all things, and particulars in the word are instances of these ideal forms (they exemplify their qualities); the latter, however, rejects universal and abstract ideals, particulars exist in the world before any of their qualities and we identify and associate them after.

This can be seen in Semiogogue's model of language, where a world of signs (physical indicators of meaning) exist in the world before language, the particulars in the world precede the spoken language which describes it. Another example is in Mike's advocation for Irrationalism, that is that the world functions in a way that is not inherently rational, and indeed the natural world precedes the rationality imposed upon it by the human world.

The particular always precedes the abstract, just as the particular circumstances of the world precede how they are understood politically. Authoritarian power is an abstract ideal, and I would wager that abstract-thinking Nationalists are on the side of Plato. Authoritarian power is not "based", nor is freedom "liberal" without any concrete reference to the physical world which ought precede it.

In short: go outside and touch some grass.
