@Zenitsu Zenny this seems like a publication you’d have a lot to say about.
hmmm I’ll hopefully read more articles in the future.
I tend to think that dissent on small public matters is not fruitful. Most matters are “soluble“ in the sense that there’s a clear winner in the contest of ideas. Gun control wins over gun rights, universal health care over hyper-capitalist healthcare, etc.
I tend to think that there are two issues that matter: multiculturalism vs. culturalism, and the question of ethnic survival for whites of guilty pasts (Anglosphere, France, Germany, etc.).
All other issues in our society result from the populace having hyperactive amygdalas due to threat of ethnic extinction, which drive them to be hyper-disagreeable. The hyper-disagreeability drives some people to take stupid stances on issues with clear solutions; they are called “conservatives.“
In my family, it’s easy to see the progression. On my dad’s side, Italians who were obsessive and chauvinistic about their Italian heritage, hating the society for trying to assimilate them. On my mom’s side, my grandparents were racists who lived in an artificial white town in the middle of a majority-black region (no doubt maintained by intimidating local blacks to keep them away). All of this was happening in the midst of the post-Civil Rights era with its oppressive pressure to be post-racial.
Both of my parents went insane from growing up in their bitter, contentious households, and they turned to the Christian revival movements of the late 20th century. It was a way out - they could have a culture that was sort of like their real culture, but avoid the racism, ethnocentrism, and the Hell of identity-issues that tore society apart in the Civil Rights era. They turned to defending their ethnic groups using implicit means of Republican politics, repressing a direct effort to preserve their welfare.
