https://t.co/YbgO1ggfEM True conservatism is the defense of eternity. As eternity is the soul of the world, revolution is always a return to eternal source. That's why conservative revolution is the way.
Entertainment executives: "our product would only appeal to those who appreciate our product, so in the name of those who don't appreciate our product, we won't launch our product."
We live in an era where the surface preaches diversity and plurality, but underneath it all there is the most complete uniformity, based on numbers and algorithms. This applies to everything.
Our time hates originality, intelligence, difference, and hierarchy. Because all of these things imply that some people are capable of loving certain things more than others.
The obsessed Star Wars or Star Trek fan is a kind of aristocrat in his private world, devoted to a pleasure that few can access. So our era demands that this too be “democratized,” and thus everything is reduced to numbers and statistics - the favorite metrics of slaves.
Being right-wing has to do with worshiping strength, power, inequality, hierarchy, difference, vitality, sacredness and that which is eternal in nature and cosmos. It has to do with absolute principles, and with orienting personality to this priciples.
"It is no accident that testosterone levels are at alarmingly low levels throughout the West. This is not a matter of biochemical dysregulation, but of a disease of the soul, as Saint Augustine would say.
A people that elevated false myths such as democracy, tolerance, and diversity above truth, faith, and historical destiny carried out an authoritarian castration of its power and vigor as a cultural and ethnic unity centered on a providential mission.
In the end, Hobbes was completely right - the central fear of the modern world is the fear of sovereign power. Paradoxically, it was this very fear that led the modern world, in the name of values based on security, peace, and fraternity, to create the most terrifying political despotisms.
But among all tyrannies, those that kill and oppress the body are not the worst. The worst are those that castrate the soul, that neutralize the spirit and reduce man to a pale shadow who sees no higher reason to get out of bed in the morning beyond serving a family and a political order that hate him. These are not men who found empires or fight in holy wars."

On the Meaning of Degeneration.
The right-wing rhetoric about “degeneration” applied to sexual morality and customs is unbearable. It is typical of old moralist women, not of men of the right.
That is why it is necessary to understand the true meaning of degeneration. Degeneration is the decomposition and disintegration of something: a value, an idea, a norm, a vital impulse, etc.
It is true that there is an ascending sexuality and desire, and an inferior one; however, the degeneration of sexuality and desire is the lowest and most common form of such disintegration.There has never been, and never will be, a community or historical epoch in which a large proportion of people do not surrender to sexual degeneration. This is not a mark of decline for a people.
The Renaissance was an era of profound degeneration in customs and morals, and at the same time it was a cultural and spiritual explosion that reached unimaginable heights with great geniuses and discoveries. And here lies our central problem: our epoch is culturally degenerate. We lack geniuses, great scientific discoveries, literary and poetic innovations, and great political and military leaders!
Our problem is not promiscuity, immorality, or the lack of sexual morality, at least no more than in any past epoch. Just listen to any leftist and you will realize the opposite: we are excessively moralistic and castrated in ways the ancients never were.
Our struggle is to raise the cultural spirit of the West once again, and not to regulate, like pious old women, the sexual practices of others. The spirit is superior to the flesh. The flesh is always corrupted and degenerated. But a civilization dies only when its spirit degenerates.
Right-wingers need to learn to place the dramas of the spirit above those of the flesh.
And who were the defeated? The European monarchies or the revolutionaries?
The power of ideas will always defeat the mere force of arms, for men wield weapons, but ideas wield men. The European aristocracy no longer believed in the most elementary truth of life: the aristocratic character of nature - the rule of the best.
Faced with this, revolutionary idealism possessed greater potency and vigor, and that is why it triumphed. Our situation is different now: confronted with the cultural and existential misery created by the revolutionary world, we are awakening to the truths of hierarchy, natural order, and tradition.
Slowly, we rise against the egalitarian revolutionary myths in the name of aristocratic values that emanate from our hearts.
This.
What many guys miss is that [hypergamic] desire is mediated by something like Maslows Pyramid.
Material security's presence over time, reveals the absence - the outer desire for *intensifying attunement* with her inner, poetic life.
Men on the "right" have difficulty understanding the mechanics of female desire. A classic example is the constant attack on Rose from Titanic as a "whore."
What they fail to grasp is that material wealth and the security provided by a bourgeois do not offer a woman's heart what it most desires: to be the object of desire of a man she perceives as superior.
That’s why Rose wants to be painted "like one of Jack’s French girls": Jack, a bohemian painter who lives a life of wandering adventures. Who better represents right-wing values here - Cal, the philistine bourgeois who rules with his wallet, or Jack, the handsome aesthete and adventurer?
We see two models: the liberal-conservative provider who views the world through economic lenses, and the adventurous aesthete who sees the world through the eyes of art, culture, and romantic vitality.
I’m sorry to say it, but women don’t want boring, pious bourgeois men who understand economics. They want artists, poets, philosophers, criminals, and rebels. You can stay sad or get angry. It doesn’t matter.
What a real man seeks to understand is why God placed such a longing in a woman’s heart, and what that tells us about our vocation as men: to earn bread or to live for the spirit? The women you call "whores" already know the answer.
I've always felt uneasy with multipolar critique of Atlanticism, cause it starts from a worldview very close to leftist progressivism: one that sees multiple traditional cultures as centers of resistance against imperialist West.
But what's the problem with properly exercised Atlanticist imperialism? Instead of a NATO that exports anal sex, equality, feminism, and democracy, imagine a NATO centered on aristocratic values: Empire, hierarchy, glory, and dominion!
A Western alliance focused on spreading genuinely right-wing values and serving as a space for masculine development rooted in warrior vitality and cultural glory.
The sea has always been the West’s true vocation. A comfortable home with a despotic wife does not forge the kind of men who build empires.
Isn’t it curious that feminism and the conservative family man converge on a common fear: the sovereign man - sovereign sexually, intellectually, and socially?
The man who has taken full possession of himself as one who subjugates a savage people; who has sculpted his body and armed it with a sexual aesthetics; who has amplified his intellect through high culture and whose spirit is not castrated by conservative or feminist communal myths; who, socially, is like a beast of prey, a wolf among lambs, and whose family is a pack of strays just like him - this man is anathema to the current order.
This tells us a great deal about the culture we live in: the one who inhabits the frontiers, the permitted limits, the abysses where life transgresses itself and is reborn in power - this man who founds kingdoms is literally forbidden from emerging.
It matters little what chains they place on him: “equal rights,” “family,” “democracy.” The beast of prey of culture is the most feared creature in the modern world. See Napoleon...
