Henry Nowak was killed because Liberalism has become an anti-White ideology. And Liberalism became an anti-White ideology because Whites were the world's first Liberals.

Liberalism grew out of English common law, the Protestant work ethic, Christian metaphysics, and a uniquely Anglo-Saxon desire to be free from arbitrary constraint.

But Liberalism could not remain there. Once it transformed itself from a unique cultural way of life of a particular people into a universal ideology, it had to reject the circumstances that led to its own birth.

It had to pretend that its own principles could float above things like history, culture, religion, and ancestry, all of which came together to create it.

Liberalism did not come to hate Whites by pure accident. It hates them because they are a living reminder that Liberalism was never a truly universal ideology in the first place.

This is why Liberalism eventually turned against its own parents. Their continued existence as a distinct civilization serves as evidence that Liberalism did not fall from heaven as a universal doctrine for all of humanity. It is not the application of pure morality as expressed in the realm of politics.

It came from somewhere and someone. And so, Liberalism must overcome its own particular origins in order to fully actualize itself. It has to dissolve the nations, faith, and people that created it. That is its destiny.

Like Frankenstein's Monster, this ideology will not stop until it has destroyed its own creator.

Either we put it down, or it will put us down.

@martianwyrdlord Except that abortion also occurs on an industrial scale. That one Down Syndrome baby belongs to an invisible mass grave of hundreds of millions. If you’re going to measure one atrocity against the other, the scale isn’t remotely comparable.

The most arresting aspect of the body cam footage is the realization that Henry Nowak actually was who the Left tried to make George Floyd out to be. They uttered the same dying words. The phenomenon was real, but the details were precisely inverted.

The Great Awokening did not merely give America's ruling class a way to justify their position in society. It gave these people a way to present Middle America, who were being economically gutted and culturally erased, who were being politically ignored and told that their suffering was a cause for celebration because they deserved it, as the villains.

Endless accusations of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, and, if none of that worked, their whiteness and unconscious bias, served not only to protect our parasitic ruling class from any sort of accountability, but it turned the very people who had the most legitimate grievances against America's elites for their betrayal of this country into a morally acceptable punching bag.

I haven’t moved on from the Karmelo Anthony fundraiser. They donated half a million as a reward for killing a white kid. Zero evidence or reason to think it was “self defense,” and they didn’t care. It was a reward for killing a white kid. I’ll never forget it. Neither should you

@BasedTorba “How can you be proud of your family/country when it’s just by random chance you were born in—”

But it’s not random to me, a distinct person, who is largely a product of that particular nation and family. Each of us inherits much of who we are, and there’s no chance in that.

[Andrew Torba @BasedTorba]

The Christian loves his nation for the same reason he loves his family: because God established it, because his fathers built it, and because his children will inherit it.

I tweet all the time about how “Neutrality is a Lie”, but I’ve had a few followers and friends ask what that really means.

Every political order chooses to promote certain things and exclude others. The idea that any society can be completely neutral is ultimately impossible, because someone somewhere will always decide what counts as good or bad, or true or false, or neutral or biased.

There is no such thing as a social norm, legal rule or cultural way of doing things that benefits everyone equally while reflecting no one’s values or favoring any one group’s way of life. That’s what norms and rules are. They reflect a particular conception of how society should be ordered.

None of that is neutral. When conservatives try to defend neutrality, they’re just admitting how blind they are to their own side. And that blindness often leads to them endorsing a different conception of the rules that actively harms them.

[IMPERATOR @IMPERATORAUS]

You're absolutely right.

Our elites are the rich, and it is for this reason that – whether it was Greece, Rome, China or Japan – the rich merchant class were always looked upon with suspicion and were prevented from holding any sort of political power because they are loyal to their own coffers, and nothing else.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

There will always be a tax burden that falls on someone. Always.

This has been true since the dawn of civilization. You can dislike the coercive nature of the state, but abolishing governments tomorrow would not end politics. New governments would emerge because man is naturally political, and those governments would inevitably levy taxes of their own.

So the real question is not whether taxes should exist in the abstract. The real question is what forms of taxation are more just than others.

If you abolish property taxes while keeping government spending levels relatively intact, the tax burden does not disappear. It just shifts to somewhere else.

And when society increasingly shields asset holders while shifting that tax burden onto people who do not own things like real estate, stocks, or significant amounts of wealth, we're laying the foundation for an explosion in inequality driven by politics rather than the natural differences that exist between people.

People will tolerate inequality because they recognize that we're not all the same. They'll also tolerate it because they believe they can one day own assets themselves. They become far less tolerant when they conclude the system has been structurally redrawn to permanently favor existing asset owners at their expense.

And abolishing property taxes even for just primary homes does exactly that. It will inevitably send home prices even higher.

This doesn’t go nearly far enough. Seniors shouldn’t pay any taxes at all. No income tax, no sales tax - nothing. And to thank them for the great fiscal situation of the USA today, college students should take on additional loans to fund cruise vacations for all seniors.

This is what the suffrage movement was for btw

[West Coast Platonist @Tool_Being]

If you are a white male there is a whole network of the world’s most powerful institutions working 24/7 to insure you are denied opportunity to be rewarded for your talent, work ethic and skills.

Further, these instruments of dispossession are legitimized by k12 curriculum and regime “entertainment” that puts Soviet propaganda to shame.

This is why it is considered impolite and “racist” to talk about these self-evident truths in the company of normies. Propagandizing 5 year olds actually works.

A truly effective rw response will acknowledge there is no such thing as a neutral education. It will stigmatize leftism and replace it with an authentic repetition of Americana that celebrates its heroes while rejecting whole portions of the ideas those heroes opportunistically glommed on to out of political expediency.

[Christian Heiens 🏛 @ChristianHeiens]

Friendly reminder that the Danish government forcibly closed the sociology departments of the University of Copenhagen in 1986 because they had been completely hijacked by Marxists who converted them into ideological indoctrination centers.

What must be done to the American university system is just as drastic, but it would require conservatives to abandon their commitment to procedural neutrality and wield an extraordinary amount of state power without hesitation or apology.

We need to reopen USAID as a global organization that protects the rights of persecuted Christians. CRUSAID.

Imagine where we’d be if billionaires funded stuff like this and cathedrals instead of third world migration.

Ronald Reagan was wrong.

[Nate Fischer @NateAFischer]

When Gavin Newsom pointed out the high murder rates in red states, many Republicans rushed to excuse this — pointing out it’s concentrated in “Democrat-run cities” etc.

But this is a fundamentally irresponsible approach to government. There is no reason we should accept this.

States are sovereign. We don’t need to let dysfunctional cities govern themselves. We should do what it takes to ensure red states — cities included — are safe and orderly, rather than try to justify their dysfunction.
