I will never forgive Joe Rogan for the way he interviewed Matt Walsh.

On the gay marriage issue, where 32 state referendums were overturned by an activist court, people like Rogan are indistinguishable from woke.

And the trans nightmare we are living in now does not for a moment make them think about how this all started.

I like the chord changes and the emotion with which he sings. However the more I listened to the lyrics the more problems I had with the song. The problem is not primarily inflation or taxes. The problem is a society that lack broadly lacks a connection to transcendent truth, or God if you prefer. The lyrics should have spoke to the attendant problems of such a situation: Rule by a foreign elite that hate you, and not the Yankees. Replacement immigration intended to displace the native population. Lack of connection to objective truth, and it's effects, namely transgenderism. Foreign wars driven by the ancestral hatred of the elite. Despair - addiction, suicide etc. Of course that song wouldn't have been so widely promoted.

I would love to know who is in charge of booking Rogan's guests. After Renee Diresta's appearance it's hard not to conclude that there are state actors at work here.

The very first comment I see after this piece criticizing the populist right for being conspiratorial...is a claim that state actors are pulling the strings wrt Rogan's guests.

How do you explain Renee Diresta's appearance? And the fact that a portion of Rogan's catalogue never survived the migration to Spotify, which Rogan lied about and claimed it was a technical issue.

So do you think everything is just fine, and we are living in normal times?

The whole of modernity is totally weird and abnormal relative to the stretch of human history, so no.

And it just spontaneously became that way? Or perhaps does that serve elite interests, ie people with names and addresses like George Soros and Klaus Schwab?

Expand full comment

It does largely rely on spontaneity and the "sum of human action and not human design." The reality of what's alienating is even more depressing - if you're prone to finding the market order depressing because it's not serving you well - than anyone pulling the strings. If only!

So investment banks like Blackrock with ESG and George Soros with an overt globalist regime change agenda have no influence on muh magic market? Naive much? Have you ever read Curtis Yarvin? If not you should to get over your naive market uber alles delusions.

You can lie all you want, but the reality is that someone from the year 0 would think someone from 1000 AD and 2023. AD were equally fucked degenerates

Excellent, succinct and to the point. Identifies many things I've noticed for a long time. All these anti-"elite" conspiracy theories, of which the COVID hysteria was only the latest, have proliferated in the face of the refusal of White people in the West to face the real conspiracy operating in plain sight and with no attempts at secrecy, the conspiracy to dispossess and destroy them as a race. The incoherence and derangement of cuckservative discourse comes from its frantic evasion, ever more desperate as it becomes ever more undeniable, of the reality of race and the racial nature of our predicament (and of the (((elites))) who engineered it). The more blatantly and viciously White people are attacked as White people, for their Whiteness, the more elaborate become the mental gymnastics required to convince oneself it's really all about something else, like economics or ecology or reptilian pedophile space aliens. It's all just diversion and deflection, but it demonstrates just how potent the anti-racist programming is in most White people today. They'd rather believe anything, no matter how patently loony, than the "racist" truth. To profoundly mix a metaphor, """Conservatives""" would rather cut off their noses to spite the people pointing out what's right in front of their noses. It's farcical, and would be comical if it weren't so tragic.

You are so right about how more insane the discourse becomes as the truth becomes more obvious. MLK derangement syndrome.

'Conservatism' died when Buckley decided to change his mind on 'civil rights'. And we can thank (((Frank Meyer))) for that change.

The problem for 'the right' is that there is no aspect of 'rightist' ideology that promotes mass solidarity. The right exists to serve the people in power.

As the 'people in power' have become more and more made up of ethnic cosmopolitans, the 'right' has drifted further and further toward cosmopolitan values like 'free markets' and 'free movement' and 'individualism'.

The great struggle since at least the rise of Rome has been between cosmopolitan empire and ethnic localism.

In America, John C. Calhoun's ideas came closest to articulating a 'democracy of localism'.

“The great struggle since at least the rise of Rome has been between cosmopolitan empire and ethnic localism.”

This is true - and herein lies two relevant issues.

First, there have always been locals, our ethnic kin, who were happy to collaborate with the cosmopolitan empire for financial gain. Some in a significant and highly profitable way - and others (Marx’s petit bourgeoisie) because they wanted to side with the winners, or were happy to be more modestly rewarded. These people aren’t - generally - loyal to the empire for ideological reasons. They’re with it for the wealth, the social status or the power it confers.

In the event that the empire retreated or collapses, they will likely become useful to whatever new power structure replaces it. They draw the ire of populists like Mr Anthony - understandably so - but they aren’t the cause of the problems we face as Western nationalities. Not really.

The real issue is the cosmopolitan empire itself. In history, empires were based on a nation that became imperial for military, religious or economic reasons. The Roman, Spanish and English empires are examples. In these empires, the real power lay with leaders of the imperial centres. Colonial lickspittles might be useful and enjoy certain material advantages, but they had no real power.

Today, however, the cosmopolitan empire is no longer based on a particular nationality. Global capitalism still has a somewhat American feel to it, but that’s fading as American national power declines. The New Imperialism of the 21st century is *entirely* post-national. It’s based, instead, on economic class and common social attitudes. Because it’s not obviously as foreign as a British soldier in a red coat, it’s more insidious than any previous imperial power.

Identifying and resisting this new, global economic order, will be paramount.

Do you seriously think the elites aren't evil Satanists who want to murder your family? How many Sam Smiths and evil pedo cults like that around Jeffrey Epstein would you need to see to convince you otherwise? I have always respected your work Keith, please don't pull a Richard Hanania on us. :-(

At the risk of seeming flippant, resistance is easy. And it's easy because the empire is wedded to capitalism. Capitalism requires the ability to circulate goods, services, persons and money anywhere, anytime. All that is required for effective resistance is to significantly slow - or even stop - this circulation. Even a small amount of such suppression of circulation can create huge disruptions in the imperial system.

The number of people killed or whose fertility has been affected by the bioweapon and its knowingly poisonous remedy isn't something I've looked into. I suppose the exact number would depend on if you believe a dead child is worth counting. https://substack.com/@naomiwolf seems to have been paying attention to that it. What is clear is that it has killed a lot of people, particularly given the suppression of treatments which worked.

Here's another conspiracy theory for you: Human Population are affected by the amount of energy, or its price.

Another ridiculous idea: When you morally corrupt families and swamp a population with foreigners, you can decimate a racial group. These are all foreseeable, stated as an end goal and implemented in policy.

Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist. There is no connection whatsoever among these things. Just because someone tells you they'll do something, are situated to accomplish the goal and then carry it out. Our friend Kalergi is just a footnote in history.

Anyway, you'd do well not to dwell on these things. They can be very dangerous. France came by the absurd notion that something was amiss when military aged German males flooded into their country intentionally.

I'm not sure about the "intelligence gap". While there might be a higher concentration of people at the lower end of the IQ spectrum on the conservative side, a comparison of average IQ stats probably tells a different story. The left have there own forms of idiocy and the typical, run of the mill liberal who mindlessly regurgitates leftist talking points doesn't strike me as particularly smart or the type of person who has thought very deeply about politics.

I don't know if I've understood the main point of the article.

As you say Conservatism has always been anti-ideological from Burke down to Anthony today and Anthony's "felt sense that [he] and [his] people are being dispossessed"

However, lately that idea has been overshadowed and drowned out by the general irrationality, conspiracy theorising and howling outrage in America that if he's not responsible for then is at least embodied in Donald Trump.

I think that's what you're saying

However the article leaves out the fact that there's still quite a sizable section of American conservatisn who doesn't want anything to do with Trump, sees him as bound for electoral failure, and are still quite rational in their approach to politics

No better champions of this than the National Review. As a daily reader I don't know of a single contributor there who has any time for Trump and the indulgence of id that goes on around him and the NRO writers are constantly promoting any feasible alternatives.

Conservatism is still about defending the local against faceless and out of touch government and that's never been a more relevant fight than right now.

The National Review articles:

"Opposing Affirmative Action Is Not about White Solidarity"

"The White Working Class Is Not Enough"

"The American Ideal: Black and White Working Together"

"Democrats are the real racists!"

" Latinos are actually conservative so don't worry about the ongoing invasion of your lands whitey!"

Not a single article advocating for white people as a group who probably make up 95% of their readers.

Note that William F. Buckley Jr., former CIA agent and founder of National Review, was also a member of the liberal-fascist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) for 30 years while hosting "Firing Line" on PBS. The CFR network has controlled the US govt and the media since WW2, and Buckley was a star performer in the political circus. See charts: swprs.org/the-american-empire-and-its-media/

What is a Liberal-Fascist?

Expand full comment

Liberal-fascism: rule by a corporatist oligarchy, behind a false front of liberal democracy. Managed via the interlocking CFR/UN/WEF network of banks, corporations, foundations, NGOs, captured govt agencies, and the media developed over the past century.

Lots of history to cover, but crucial to understand the global governance / sustainable development / population control agenda. The left/right political circus is just a distraction.
