Forgot to include this.


For example just yesterday this popped up randomly on my feed, probably in reference to Trump quoting Napoleon.

That looks delightful. German N.A. bubbly from a quality region like mosel seems like a winning combo.


This was the wine I was referring to earlier.

It’s because the most economical ways of making non alcoholic wine end up cooking off the aromatics, which make up the majority of the flavor of wine.


There’s high fidelity ways of doing it but they are mega capital intensive

Yeah it had / has a huge presence on social media. It’s extremely popular and well known in online culture, which as we both know tends to leak copiously into the mainstream at this point.


People used to use it all the time in video edits to the point of cliche.

Maybe so, but Little Dark Age came out in 2018 has been streamed 700+ Million times on Spotify.


Considering Kids is a decade older and only has like 15% more streams, I’d hardly call it “niche”.


The song has been used a bazillion times on YouTube / instagram / TikTok / Reddit. It has a massive presence in online culture, and not just in weird spaces.

This is why I think of myself as both a neoreactionary and a right revolutionary, they aren’t opposites at all rather they’re synergistic and actually necessary for one another.


Neoreaction is at its heart the recognition, mourning of, and ultimately a plan for the restoration of a lost future. It’s about triangulating where we could have been without the malign influence of the cluster of intellectual cancers that have been slowly withering down our collective will to live and will to power, and then grabbing the steering wheel and jerking it as hard as possible in that direction.


There’s no going back. If you’re fifty years old and unsatisfied with your shitty life, there’s no use trying to be young again. It’s actually pathetic to even try, we collectively recognize people doing that as living in deep denial. But it’s not too late; through honest introspection you can identify your mistakes, begin to heal and learn to love life again.


I’m not even remotely interested in indulging classical liberal’s collective midlife crisis.

There was a researcher from the mid twentieth century whose name I forgot said this is basically supported by the psychological research.


Being the top or bottom is more than a preference, they’re really more like two separate sexualities in which very few people naturally gravitate towards both.


Tops are much more likely to be bisexual using modern terminology.


I understand the objection to “gay” as a label in this context, although I have no dog in this fight. People also use the term “gay” to essentially bind extremely disparate people whose behaviors vary wildly into one essentialist unit of cultural and political valence, which I imagine some “Men who have sex with men” would object to.


I’m sympathetic to this because I suffer from a mental disorder but I find attempts at building cultural and political solidarity amongst people who suffer from my disorder or a cluster of related ones to be absolutely abhorrent; I’m not a member of a “community” with proscribed political and economic interests, I’m just someone with a fucked up brain.


This is one of the few things Freddie deboar gets 100% right.


I think basically how we moderns think about identity is fundamentally harmful and stupid, getting in the way of understanding behavior which is the real interesting and functional bit with regards to how individuals interact with society writ large.

This is exactly why “you can just do things.” Is such a powerful meme / rallying cry at the moment. It’s funny but also 100% true; you can just do things.

I think the healthy, measured response to what’s been done to the modal US citizen in the last eight years or so is nothing short of white hot, borderline murderous rage.


Sometimes that’s truly the appropriate response. Many people and institutions have spent incredible amounts of money, time and energy gaslighting people into not believing this.


I was fooled for a very short amount of time, but I know in my heart what’s right.

”Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good everyone is saying it. All these workers, very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people very very rude and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me everyday and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, Look the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction believe me you gotta trust me on this one. The means of production, obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for folks. Everyone told me they said, Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess whose laughing now?"

We remember it that way because of how it ended up, but the Weimar was absolutely lousy with serious, revolutionary communists and honeycombed with the most stomach churning levels of sexual and cultural degeneracy ever witnessed in the west at that time. It very easily could have gone the other way.


My general feeling on this matter is that a healthy society capable of self government with aligned values and incentives would have never produced the Nazis in the first place, so if you’re frightened of a reappearance of them the moral imperative is not to produce the same levels of abject moral depravity that produced them in the first place.


Up until very recently, I felt that we were obviously failing that. I feel much more hopeful now.
