I don’t think the RW should cede intellectualism, academia, or anything else. We have the enormous advantage of having the truth on our side, which also plays to the strengths of post-Enlightenment society. Some percentage of the population *will* be convinced by infographics, factoids, etc. Why vacate that demographic?
I don't think that, quite the opposite. I think we should be infiltrating high academia just as our enemies have done before. That was going against the pointless “activist groups” who have posted the same random studies online since 2014. It's gotten us nowhere, even to fairly elementary tactics like AI translated Hitler speeches have had better success. Leave academic concerns to academics.
100 years ago it was the other way around. I don’t think you stop evil by letting evil win. There’s no “scorched earth retreat” in academia or intellectual life. You either have a monopoly on facts, or the culture’s desired interpretation of facts, or you don’t.
Preach on. I keep trying to convince some of my blackpilled doomer friends that getting involved in retaking institutions and power is a far more sensible path than going into the countryside to live on a homestead in some mythical conservative redoubt. Not sure the message is getting through though.
I want to live on a homestead in some mythical conservative redoubt as well. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with living the agrarian life with likeminded people in a bubble of sanity, especially given the condition of modern American cities and suburbs. That doesn’t mean you have to give up anything else to do that, aside from your presence in cities I guess.
This article encapsulates many of the ideas that are important, but I think we are still battling the problem of the slogan - "all men are created equal" is powerful both to the supposed downtrodden weakling, but also to a community of powerful peers, who would only concede to a primus inter pares. The quality slogan has to be formed to be an axiom, which when deployed as the unseen base of a debate and threaded through the arguments, will cut through anything deployed by the "forces of chaos", if we are to talk through a lens of timeless arguments.
Once in place, the geist will be emboldened and will will quicken. I feel that at present the discourse has evolved by the way of memes to the place where deeper truths can be deployed.
This was my favorite article of yours so far. I like the framing of equality/quality of all the many ways to frame left/right because it seems to be the most accurate. Other framing may be useful, but this one is most relevant.
And, in that sense, I think it can be said that equality to a degree has a quality of its own. You already touched on this, but I’m probably a person who would like to genuinely lift others up to achieve their own quality, and in that sense I can axiomatically integrate both the right and the left. But in our decadent age, there is no room for anything other than a sharp turn to the right.
Interesting arcticle. I would think that to create a new order based on quality you would need some kind of aristocracy. The closest we have now are Hollywood stars, or "stars" in general. Unfortunately, most are captured by the sacred victim, entitled parasite culture. They are dependent on mass media, rather than quality.
As the poet George Chapman wrote: "The profane multitude I hate, and only consecrate my strange poems to those searching spirits whom learning hath made noble and nobility sacred."
So, humans need the sacred in one form or another. Something that cannot be touched. Sacred victims or a sacred nobility.

Don't you think the academia is unsalvageable given their leftism? like, they are the root cause of everything leftist

some of those "blackpilled doomer friends" are probably meant for rural peasant living, bro
Probably, but in my convos with them it’s clear that the primary motivation isn’t because they’re nature-lovers, but idealistic/political.
IMO if you’re going to live an agrarian lifestyle, do it because you love the daily lifestyle, or else it’s going to become wearisome.
Agreed

The only time I will ever be "fair" is to my own kin, and even then, I have rules and standards.
Good article.

The unity and supremacy of the warband makes sense though.
Breaking the state down to a more manageable & personally beneficial unit.
You want to win and for some reason winning in the leftist system ain't good enough.
So you strive for higher to win on terms, standards, and principles more amenable.
Ones worth staking your life on.

We are getting closer to an idea of "right" that transcends mere nationalism, tradition LARPing or free markets
