Auron MacIntyre, The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies, Regnery, 2024, 208 pp.
The American Right talks about power, realism, and human nature. It acts politically like a naïve child. The American Left talks about equality, empathy, and compassion. It acts politically like a single-minded tribalist.
There are many reasons for this, but part is ideological. In one of his most overlooked and yet important articles, “The Other Side of Modernism: James Burnham and His Legacy” (1987), Sam Francis argued that the American Right did not so much fail to develop an intellectual framework to challenge the Left, but abandoned one. It took refuge in religious fantasies and libertarian delusions rather than develop the modern and realistic worldview of James Burnham. “The Left perceived that Burnham’s inversion of modernism was a far more serious threat to it than the anti-modern traditionalism that many conservatives represented,” he wrote. His warning was prophetic: “Among contemporary conservatives only James Burnham offered a theoretical framework and a practical application of modernist political ideas that challenge the conventional modernist categories as defined by the Left.”
Yet, a “Machiavellian” tradition of power relations and self-interest can seem unsatisfactory. The Left’s messianic appeal is real, which is why its followers can be driven to heights of frenzy. A political tradition that emphasizes that nothing exists except the coldly realistic is, itself, uninspiring, which is why Burnham accepted the power of myth. To urge the American Right to “give up” on its own political myths is to ask it to deny itself.
Sam Francis died with his work tragically unfinished, but his book Leviathan is the closest we have to a complete political testament. It is a detailed analysis of the way managerial elites engineer us from the top down in the system the media call “Our Democracy.” Many white advocates who know Sam Francis from his pithy, sarcastic, and scathing polemics on racial politics might find an academic tome on James Burnham’s political theories surprising or even boring. For “normal” conservatives, however, Francis’s work on power dynamics is safer to discuss than his racial politics.
Mainstream American conservatives, however, still take refuge in myths about the Constitution, limited government, or the promise of a restoration under a political savior. The result is that American conservatism is either intellectually unserious or on the fringe. Sam Francis’s warnings about the intellectual failures of the American Right are as relevant now as they were 40 years ago. We need a conservative writer from the mainstream to get conservatives to think seriously about power, rather than someone from the Dissident Right offering another outsider critique.
The Total State by Auron MacIntyre is therefore the most important book on the American Right this year. It is a sort of NeoReaction 101 for conservatives, with Mr. MacIntyre leaning heavily on the work of Curtis Yarvin, Bertrand de Juvenal, Nick Land, Joseph de Maistre, and Gaetano Mosca. Yet it is not just a simplified, popularized version of the Dark Enlightenment for “normie” conservatives. Mr. MacIntyre is a talented writer who is familiar with academic theory but can follow up a sophisticated argument with a polemical summary or a powerful anecdote. Perhaps more importantly, Mr. MacIntyre is not on the fringe, and his gentle prodding of Americans, Christians, and conservatives to take their own side is very effective. The Total State is the perfect book by the perfect author to change the American Right.
The author is a former journalist and writes that “watching firsthand as journalists completely altered events and details to fit their pre-selected narratives” was “eye-opening.” He accuses them of not just twisting their subjects’ words but making them up or outright lying (11). My own view is that the media are the regime because shaping public opinion from the top down is what democracy now is. Mr. MacIntyre says that whatever was happening in politics, and whatever theory said about the way government should work, “the media narrative seemed to dominate all other priorities, shaping people’s actions in ways I had never thought possible.” This is not just another book whining about a “biased” media; it explains that willful deception by journalists is the tip of the spear for the entire system.
This system serves power, but it is not a simple command-and-control model like a “fascist” organization. “No shadowy cabal of overlords was handing down marching orders; no editorial meeting was held confirming an anti-Trump direction, but every low-level propogandist with a journalism degree suddenly thought it was their solemn duty to destroy the orange menace,” he writes. “No falsehood was too great, and any and every distortion of the truth could be justified in the name of damaging what these zealots saw as the second coming of Adolf Hitler.” (12) Conservatives must understand the cruelty of “the press and the ruling class they represented” and their eagerness to “exploit and destroy what they saw as backward hicks for fun and profit.” Yes, they really do hate you, and yes, what is being done to you is done on purpose.
The book answers many questions: Why did the Constitution so completely fail to limit government action during the COVID pandemic? Why were some Americans forbidden to attend church or go to meetings while others got free reign not just to rally but to riot? Why does the GOP refuse to take up even popular causes? Conservatives must wake up; their beloved constitutional republic does not work.
Who is the “ruling class”? Mr. MacIntyre answers in terms of its institutional role — an answer of “what” rather than “who.” This is one way of approaching the problem, but some will see it as unsatisfactory.
The “who” is important. Mr. MacIntyre repeatedly asserts that power always seeks to centralize. We know that the federal government tries to limit what is discussed online, to the point of demanding that specific people be deplatformed. The New York Times pushed the “1619 Project” to give Black Lives Matter an academic veneer. “When Harvard comes to a conclusion on an issue of public policy,” writes Mr. MacIntyre, “Yale is soon to follow, the media quickly reports the findings, government bureaucracy implements them, and schools are teaching them in short order.” (29)
If I have one quibble with this book, it is that The Total State claims that power centralizes but also that we live under a “decentralized atheistic theocracy,” in which “progressive liberalism” has swept through institutions, taken on a life of its own, and become useful to those seeking status and power. My own view is that this process is more consciously directed. We have seen an actual split at Ivy League colleges because of the pro-Palestine protests, with elites fighting over policy and personnel decisions rather than all following a universally understood program.
However, Mr. MacIntyre is right that modern progressivism is essentially religious. Paul Gottfried called our system a “secular theocracy” in 2004 in Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt, and it may not even be accurate to call it “secular” after 2020, when churches of all denominations prostrated themselves before George Floyd. Mr. MacIntyre identifies universities as the “churches” of the new regime and cites Curtis Yarvin’s model of the “Cathedral” — a “decentralized network of organizations and individuals responsible for manufacturing a cultural consensus” inside universities, the media, public education, and the bureaucracy. Mr. MacIntyre argues that because progressivism is a kind of religion, no conspiracy is needed because “those who manufacture the narrative of our civilization” all “go to the same house of worship.” Even if Mr. Yarvin’s view that there is no conscious conspiracy were correct, he and Mr. MacIntyre are right about its ability to force ordinary people “voluntarily” to conform. Joe Sobran called the Left “The Hive.”
Not long ago, even if we admitted that elites ruled, and “democracy” was a polite fiction, it did not mean we lived under a “total state.” Elites did not need to control all opinions, just enough to maintain power. However, the internet gave everyone a microphone and thus turned everyone into a potential threat.
Quoting Curtis Yarvin, Mr. MacIntyre writes that we are in a total state because “everyone and everything is infused with power” and thus “everyone is either a collaborator or a dissident.” There can be no private life, not just because the personal is political, but because the internet gives everyone the theoretical ability to turn personal views into a political force.
Despite the growth of government, the average person feels “liberated” because government took over the social obligations people once had to family or to intermediate institutions such as churches or guilds. Mr. MacIntyre argues that the modern state confiscates more taxes, imposes more surveillance, and commands more obligations than any absolute ruler of the past, but “so long as this is done while freeing the individual from traditional social obligations, not only do its citizens not feel oppressed, they see themselves as liberated.” (37) The desire to impose “neutrality” in government instead of personal rule does not lead to freedom, but builds a bureaucracy molded by incentives (including measures such as DEI) until it becomes monolithic. The absolute “liberation” of the individual leads to absolute subjugation to the state. Today, we see attempts by academics, media, and the state to “liberate” children from their families in the name of “transgenderism.” Ultimately, the more people are “liberated” and atomized, the more power flows into the hands of bureaucrats, politicians, media, and teachers.
It is a chicken-and-egg question whether such material interests cause an ideology of “liberation” or whether the ideology leads to a class that benefits from such a system. Either way, progressives love ever-expanding social engineering that overwhelms conservative appeals to equality before the law or institutional rights. “[Progressives] believe America is a place of deep inequality, that it has reached its position of privilege due to the immoral exploitation of that inequality, and that any action taken in the pursuit of rectifying that inequality is not just permissible but morally necessary,” Mr. MacIntyre writes. “The system is bigoted in every imaginable way, and so the acquisition of power is always the first priority as this is the only way to overcome such deeply entrenched injustice.” Thus, in 2020, fighting for “social justice” was more important than normal people going to work or school. Rioters got special permission to riot, while conservatives appealed vainly to universal, individual rights.
Some conservatives argue that the Constitution will save us, but Mr. MacIntyre shows it has already failed. “Division of powers” is pointless because each branch serves public opinion, which can be dictated by mass media, education, and marketing. “[M]aintaining power in a democratic system means maintaining control over how the populace perceives and understands the world around them,” writes Mr. MacIntyre. “As each branch of government becomes more vulnerable to the democratic process, control of power hinges increasingly on the ability to manipulate the masses.” (53) It may seem startling to conservatives to think of institutions becoming “vulnerable” to the democratic process, but Mr. MacIntyre makes this seem intuitive and natural. Manipulating public opinion becomes the only skill that matters in a democracy. Moreover, there is no purely “mechanical” system to guarantee a perfectly functioning government. A constitution is only a written distillation of what a people intuitively understands about the role of government, and if that people changes, so does that understanding.
Laws do not function in a vacuum, and it is wrong to speak of a government of laws, not men. Men always rule. Again, though, this seems to run counter to a premise of the book that the system runs almost mechanically in a decentralized way through the triumph of progressivism.
The Constitution will certainly not save us: “Relying too heavily on a written constitution simply incentivizes a nation’s leaders to become skilled at twisting and shaping language in order to circumvent the restrictions created by the formal meaning of the words.” (57) “Wokeness,” filled the metaphysical void left by Americans trusting in the ability of a document permanently to solve existential political questions.
Mr. MacIntyre cites Carl Schmitt on the existential nature of politics, which is ultimately about identity. A mainstream conservative citing Carl Schmitt (albeit regretting his “deeply unfortunate” involvement with Nazism) is a milestone. Yet it is necessary, and even the most liberal professor (until recently) would acknowledgment Schmitt’s importance. He dynamited the theoretical premises of liberalism, particularly liberalism’s promise to remove the friend/enemy distinction from politics by reducing it to a friendly debate in the marketplace of ideas where all parties have rights. In reality, because it is impossible to remove the friend/enemy distinction, what actually results is an “ever-expanding ideological empire,” with those who “serve to strengthen the power of the state” becoming friends and “those who seek to compete with or restrain it” becoming enemies. The “myth of the neutral institution,” or “value-free” institution lets the total state “obfuscate the advance of its own values inside the key structures of civilization.” (64)
Mr. MacIntyre’s emphasis on deception, myth, and obfuscation is important because conservatives and libertarians are fooled by them. The idea of popular sovereignty is dangerous not just because it abolishes the separation between private society and the state, but because it conceals the reality that someone always rules.
“[In theory] the people rule, and so there is less need to think about who wields supreme authority,” he writes. “Which is very convenient for those who actually do wield supreme authority.” (65) Similarly, because (in Schmitt’s view) politics derives from theology, the state becomes essentially a god and “exceptions” — when normal laws are suspended — are like miracles. Much as a miracle shows the power of God, the state of exception shows who is sovereign and whose interests are served. The Enlightenment conceit that personal leadership is a problem and politics can be reduced to a neutral system is no protection against tyranny. Instead, trusting in a mere system advances tyranny by disguising sovereignty and concealing the truth that people wield power.
Mr. MacIntyre insists that there is no definable conspiracy or group we can point to that oversees the total state. However, citing Vilfredo Pareto and Machiavelli, Mr. MacIntyre offers a functional definition. Leaders can be classified as “lions” (conservative, capable of wielding force, favoring order) or “foxes” (skilled in manipulation of ideas, socially liberal, favorable to change). When societies mature, foxes tend to replace lions because the need for overt force declines. Mr. MacIntyre again destroys illusions by arguing that our “modern aversion to overt force” can mislead because all society rests on a monopoly of force. It may be more dangerous for people to pretend that they are exempt from this rule than bluntly to exercise power. Most people fear the truth.
Furthermore, just because “foxes” do not often use direct force does not mean that they do not use it. They rule through “deceit” and the “manipulation of systems along with the subtle control of information and data to maintain order.” (75) Democracy makes us more vulnerable to force by “obfuscate[ing] the source of power” away from a definable sovereign to a “nameless, faceless, ever-shifting process” that can never be held accountable. I have argued for years that no society can be meaningfully “free” if there is no awareness of who is sovereign. In contrast, we are ruled by an elite that uses control of information to govern both private and public institutions, ruthlessly vets bureaucrats for ideological conformity, and selectively enforces laws depending on political agendas.
Mr. MacIntyre links the elite to the “managerial class” defined by James Burnham and Sam Francis. He quotes Sam Francis extensively, which is gratifying for longtime AR readers. Francis said:
The corporation must promote the homogenization of society because of the nature of mass production and mass consumption. Mass production requires not only homogenous goods and services produced by the same molds and processes, but also homogenous consumers, who cannot vary in their tastes, values, and patterns of consumption and who must consume if the planning of the corporations is to be effective. . . . Managerial capitalism must therefore articulate and sponsor an ideology of cosmopolitanism that asserts universal identities, values, and loyalties, challenges the differentiations of the bourgeois order, and rationalizes the process of homogenization.
It is this that online rightists have taken to calling “GloboHomo,” short for Global Homogenization. It is also a dig at the homosexual rainbow flag that has become the banner of global corporations (until it was arguably displaced by the intersectional flag). The surface “diversity” preached by elites only undermines the real diversity of nations and peoples, much as the “diversity” on a college campus strengthens ideological uniformity. One can invent new sexual or gender identities or promote “pride” in various non-white races, but all these are varieties of consumerism. Instead of social mobility through independence, such supposedly diverse constituencies become client groups of the total state, its “social justice movements,” and justify ever-expanding government programs and NGO-based education programs.
As a result, all levels of society are increasingly supervised by credentialed experts boasting university degrees, which Mr. MacIntyre calls “the genesis of the Cathedral,” and the origin of a memeplex of interlocking ideas that reinforce each other.
We can see how this works every day. “Experts” are the final authority not just in education but in the military, business, policing — everything. The universal cure for every social problem is more “education” and expert supervision. “Sam Francis outlines how even the legal system has become an important battlefield in the law between the old bourgeois and the new managerial elites,” Mr. MacIntyre writes. “Just as the capitalists used the principles of ‘rule of law’ and ‘equality before the law’ to limit and deconstruct the power of monarchs in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the managerial elite seeks to shift the law towards results-based administrative procedure.” (92) Thus, trials become contests of highly credentialed (and expensive) “experts” dueling over arcane points of administrative minutiae rather than anything the Framers would recognize.
Mr. MacIntyre credits Paul Gottfried with the concept of the “therapeutic state” — the way the managerial elite creates a continuous moral panic to justify its existence. War, crime, poverty, and other social problems cease to be part of the human condition and instead become pathologies that arise from flawed social institutions not yet under expert control. Mr. MacIntyre also quotes Sam Francis, who noted that “whether sincere or not,” the real effect of managerial political and social reforms is to ” ‘liberate’ the masses from the tyranny of bourgeois or prescriptive institutions, and to homogenize the mass population and bring it under the discipline of the mass organizations.” (94–95, quoted from Sam Francis in Leviathan) In other words, this is why almost every news story, education program, or government initiative ends with a call for more bureaucratic control and more funding.
Humans are not all identical, so it is not always easy to control them. The state will therefore “actively seek to shape the private and public lives of its citizens in order to homogenize influences that could introduce variance an instability.” This includes replacing sin and punishment with “medicalization of deviance.” What a prior generation would call evil can be fought through therapy, treatment, and programs, with a new clergy of professors and scientists replacing priests. “Under the total state’s model of behavior,” Mr. MacIntyre writes, “humans are inherently good, with the possible exception of straight white Christian males.” Education solves every problem — which means that traditional solutions, which tell men to behave with grace and honor in the face of eternal evils, are morally suspect and a surrender.
This means there are no inevitable tradeoffs — only errors of judgment, which encourage totalitarian rage against dissenters who stand in the way of progress. Of course, “the science” can be self-contradictory because it follows expedience, not facts. Why are sexual preferences supposedly inherent, but sex is no longer bound by biology? Why do genes set sexual orientation, but in-group preference is “racist”? Why are pedophiles “minor attracted persons” suffering from a tragic inherent misfortune, but men who desire fit, attractive women are morally deficient? Dissenters must never state an opinion, because we lack the credentials to be part of the “new priestly caste [that] will always favor the political priorities of the total state.” (102) So shut up, bigot.
From this perspective, compulsory state-funded education looks increasingly sinister, because it is the most effective way to break children away from family ties and inherent loyalties. Nothing is inherent or sacred because everything is a question of applying the proper technique to achieve the best social outcome. “A thoroughly secularized therapeutic culture would create the narrative justification for constant state intervention through the bureaucratic application of scientifically developed courses of treatment,” Mr. MacIntyre argues. “By stripping away the natural human preference for particular cultures, religions, moral systems, and aesthetics, social engineers can create subjects that are far easier to manage.” (107)
Human identity, insists Mr. MacIntyre, does not come from a set of rights, but from limitations. It is shaped “far more dramatically by what the individual is not than what he is free to become.” (111) This is critical, because the essential tenet of modern liberalism is that identity is invented. While the state promises to liberate man from unchosen social bonds, it actually unmakes him. This includes what Sam Francis called the “dematerialization of property and the replacement of the entrepreneurial firm as the dominant form of economic organization by the mass corporations and unions under managerial control.” In other words, the political forms and abstractions so beloved by conservatives and libertarians arise from distinctive material and social circumstances. Without them (namely “hard property and independent ownership”), those political forms cease to exist. Many conservatives will resist this conclusion, which may seem Marxist, that ideology grows out of material circumstances.
What has been done to the (largely white) American middle class is also being done to the rest of the world. Instead of building empires, experts bring modernization and “human rights” to the benighted. NGOs and “color revolutions” mobilize constituencies eager for liberalism, thus undermining national sovereignty. Mass media manipulate public opinion. New governments owe their power not to their own people, but to the West.
Both the First and Third Worlds are subject to the same international class of elites who have more cultural similarity to each other than to their own peoples. Mr. MacIntyre points out that this is not really Western exploitation of non-Western countries, because Western countries become just as economically dependent on the Third World, as managerial control imposes a complex, international trading system that strives to homogenize everyone. Ultimately, countries themselves become economic units at the service of international bureaucrats.
Mr. MacIntyre’s best contribution comes from his explanation of the NRx (Dark Enlightenment) dictum that “Cthulhu swims slowly, but he always swims to the left.” He explains Robert Conquest’s three laws: everyone is conservative about what he knows best, all organizations if not explicitly right-wing become left-wing, and every bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.
It is not merely that institutions lose track of their founding principles as time passes and systems grow more complex. It is that the mere fact of opening up foundational principles to debate serves to undermine them. “Once the core values of a social organization are up for debate, they are over.” “Once the foundational axioms of an organization have entered the realm of open discussion, it will always and inevitably move to the left.” This is true. To open discussion undermines what was once unchallengeable. Thus, even for those of us friendly to “free speech” as a principle, allowing free speech or open admissions in our own organizations may doom them. “Anyone who is not defending, maintaining, and gatekeeping the things they love and care about will watch them decay and eventually be destroyed,” Mr. MacIntyre argues. Even the most stalwart gatekeeper will fall to entropy, because chaos is inevitable. Conflict is eternal.
This happens within corporations, subcultures, fandoms, political movements, and countries. “Once the organization has birthed a bureaucracy that can prioritize its own needs over those it was designed to serve,” Mr. MacIntyre says, “a clear split develops in the incentive structure, and that split only widens over time.” This explains Mr. Conquest’s seemingly counterintuitive third rule, and why giving more resources to a bureaucracy may make it worse at fulfilling its supposed mission.
The interest of a bureaucrat within an organization is his own position, not the organization’s. Promoting conflict within an organization or developing a new power base leads to new opportunities for advancement. It is thus not surprising that the consistent cry in everything from politics to business and even to entertainment is that existing citizens, customers, or fans must be replaced by new “underrepresented” constituencies. The decision by a Bud Light executive to promote transgenderism to working-class beer drinkers may seem bizarre, but that executive might have made the right career move for herself.
Mr. MacIntyre suggests that all these trends doom an organization to eventual collapse, because entropy will come for the total state, too. “It is a common misconception that regimes fall when they become overbearing and totalitarian,” he says. “Regimes fall when they have grown weak and decadent, unable to control the population through the manipulation of the fox or the force of the lion. When elites close themselves off to the natural circulation of new talent, they grow soft, and those denied access can suddenly disrupt the status quo.”
Modern managers may not be adding value to our current institutions. “Both James Burnham and Samuel Francis would recognize that managers are essential for the operation of massified organizations, but [Alasdair] MacIntyre asserts that most modern bureaucracy is simply a product of the cancer-like growth of the managerial class and does not actually produce notable increases in efficiency,” the author says. “These layers of bureaucratic management exist only for the purpose of facilitating power.” DEI is the most obvious example. We are oppressed, but by impotence rather than power.
Mr. MacIntyre suggest that the total state will fail because “widely different peoples spread across vast distances cannot, and will not, be governed as one unified whole.” He also cites evidence that Americans’ quality of life is declining. Obviously, race realists and white advocates welcome the view that diversity is not strength. Human nature will eventually overcome social engineering.
However, I am reminded of Winston Smith’s feeble protest in 1984 that the spirit of man will somehow defeat the Party. The Total State has proven able to eradicate entire identifies once thought immutable (such as white Southern identity) within just a few years and legitimize practices (such as child “transgenderism”) that would have sparked revolt not long ago.
It is also the most miserable, neurotic, and unhappy Americans who are the greatest supporters of the system. Young liberal women have high rates of depression and mental illness, but this is what makes them such reliable political soldiers. Our author reminds us of the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel about the price of hubris, but my fear is not that we are tempting judgment, but that there is no one to inflict it.
Still, Auron MacIntyre does not offer empty comfort. His final chapter is “The Only Way Out Is Though.” He brushes aside the idea that the Constitution can somehow be restored through a Convention of States. Moreover, returning to self-government, even if it were possible, would not make Americans the virtuous people for whom John Adams said our Constitution was designed. “Liberty is the fruit of virtue,” Mr. MacIntyre warns, “virtue is not the fruit of liberty.” He also dismisses the idea that “former” liberals will react against woke extremes and restore a saner moral climate. They cannot turn back.
We must always confront essential questions and there is no perfect technical system or cultural equilibrium that frees us from strife. “Questions of faith and sovereignty will continue to sit at the core of the human experience, just as they always have.” “Matters of meaning, identity, and existential conflict cannot be removed by the promise of cold objective reason and credentialed experts.” The cycle of rise and fall is eternal.
Our author considers three possibilities. First, that life will continue to get worse as the system hobbles along. I think this is the most likely, but he considers it least likely. The second alternative is Caesar, perhaps not a soldier, but a civilian. It is not unheard of in our time; we have only to look to El Salvador. With a clear sovereign who actually does the peoples’ wishes, the masses will not be obsessed with politics and thus free from propaganda. However, Mr. MacIntyre argues that the permanent progressive bureaucracy will remain, and still be at war with human nature. Unless that is abolished, a change at the top will not fix the problem.
Instead, our author contends the most likely scenario is a gradual collapse. The managerial bureaucracy will be unable to meet the core functions of the total state. Outlying regions will gain more autonomy as the system becomes more openly authoritarian. The opportunities for conflict will increase between federal and local authorities. This will not necessarily be good for normal Americans. The quality of life will decline, but this will hasten the fall of centralized power and the return of local, organic organization. Thus, those who wish to take advantage of this transition must discipline themselves now, organizing and forgoing luxury. “Consolidating local power that is capable of resisting the authority of the total state is essential.” This in turn will further a consolidation of identity — exactly what white advocates want.
I believe Mr. MacIntyre is understating the difficulties. He has written a whole book that tells us the system is capable of mobilizing malcontents to further its own power, using a devastatingly powerful propaganda machine to remake humanity itself, appealing to greed and irresponsibility to convince people that slavery is freedom. Unless a decline were steep, who would choose an alternative? One of the key characteristics of Third World life is that most people tolerate chaos and dysfunction; an increasingly diverse America may adjust to continuous decline without reaction. In response, we may get even more social control and left-wing politics.
Yet, there is hope. The media have shed credibility and millions of Americans do not believe anything they say. The war in Gaza has divided the once united Cathedral. Some elites, notably Elon Musk, seem to be breaking from the social consensus of the Total State. The possibility President Donald Trump could return also introduces an element of chaos and disruption that could prove useful.
What is clear is that we will not be able to meet the future if we don’t understand how the system works. Millions must be made to understand this, and — to be blunt — no one in our movement can do this. Even Sam Francis could not, not because he lacked the knowledge or skill, but because he was Sam Francis. It takes a mainstream conservative to puncture myths that have crippled conservatism and to do so in an approachable, erudite, and compassionate way. It is a subtle art to tell people their most cherished beliefs are wrong. It is even harder to show them you are still on their side, are one of them, and can lead them to a better future.
Auron MacIntyre has done this. For white advocates, The Total State will be educational. For the American Right, it will be invaluable. And for Sam Francis, it is long overdue vindication.

And where stands Mr. Hood?
Not really, they still can’t see what’s really going on:
Americanism -v- Judaism – https://rumble.com/v4vms90-americanism-v-judaism.html
What exactly is this drivel?
And what is this: “Mr. MacIntyre insists that there is no definable conspiracy or group we can point to that oversees the total state.”
Sure there is – the js.
Yeah, it starting to look like it’s dividing the right, too.
Yup. I stopped reading right there. This book really sounds like a bunch of upscale John-Birchism.
There has been a recent push towards neo-reactionary (NRX) views by a coalition of shabbos gatekeepers. In their world view, James Burnham is some sort of demigod, and Curtis Yarvin is his messenger. They really hate populism (nationalism), and they love elite theory and sucking Peter Thiel’s poop stained cock.
They are just a new form of retarded libertarian, and as such we should ignore these buffoons entirely. On a side note, it is funny to see American Renaissance finally admit they are a Jew cum drinking collective.
In one breath he talks about the failures of libertarians, and then he gushes about an author regurgitating libertarian arguments about State power and some of the ways to combat it.
Who are the libertarians Mr. Hood refers to?
The book isn’t worth reading if it doesn’t mention Jewish power. The entertainment industry controls the culture and who largely controls that? The media shapes peoples view of the world and current events. Who controls the media? It isn’t the Armenians.
The ADL is a major linchpin in the post 2016 censorship regime. It is they who are purging their goy enemies from the world wide web and social media.
Jews exercise a lot of power inside Google. Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page are Jewish. Marc Zuckerberg owns one of the largest social media platforms in Facebook who regular engages in censorship of rightists and conservatives while promoting leftists and left wing causes.
Jews are vastly overrepresented at Harvard and the rest of the Ivy league while whites are underrepresented.
Jews provide most of the funding for the Democrats and increasingly for the GOP as well. That money comes with strings attached.
The increasingly totalitarian state that whites languish under did not come into being by accident or because journos and other opinion shapers throughout the establishment inexplicably believe the same things and have the same agenda.
Reading this was like eating a delicious salad after fasting for a week. An excellent synopsis for Auron MacIntyre’s – The Total State.
I’m looking forward to a complete read, thanks a bunch.
Intelligent people hate conservatives because conservatives stand for nothing except for letting the corporations do absolutely whatever they want, steal, kill, despoil, impoverish, enslave. Because it’s the free market, dontcha know.
Once you deal with that little glitch, and get anti-corporate, then you’ve got something. Forget the intellectuals and their obscure justifications of corporations doing absolutely anything they want. Just go anti-corporation and you’re on the right path.
Anyone who wants to learn how liberal democracies become tyrannies can read Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and save both time and cash. Or if Burnham and Francis are what you want, why not skip MacIntyre and get the story from the horse’s mouth instead of from a guy who, hipness apart, is doing little more than muck out the stable?
In this seemingly endless and tiresomely repetitive article, with its score or so “look what I’ve found” references to ideas and insights that are almost as old as the wheel,
Kevin DeAnnaGregory Hood insists yet again that readers should ignore what their lying eyes tell them and instead join him, MacIntyre, and their fellow respectability-addicted members of what he calls the “mainstream Right” in marching six paces behind the (((Establishment))) as they never endanger their credibility with said (((Establishment))) by tastelessly observing that the world’s fundamental problem is that the Jews run everything.Auron MacIntyre does not look White. He does not have our interests at heart.

Name an alt right or right outlet that isn’t sucking the Jcum.
The Gaza genocide has really outed all the pretend American patriots as cucks for Isreal.
Burnhams’s Death of the West which is circa 1960, the same woe is us the sky is falling, true then as it is true now. but now the end of the tunnel is close.
Gee Officer Krupkee, 1960, same liberal thinking as today.
Self-identified conservatives have misspent almost all their energy on a single, obsessive crusade — against abortion. For far too many, nothing else counts. Oh, maybe they have a few purely theoretical ideas about other issues but only abortion, abortion, abortion gets them out in the streets for direct action. For these single-issue pseudo-cons no compromise can be contemplated.
The recent Supreme Court ruling that essentially makes abortion a local rather than federal issue is a rare breath of common sense, quite aligned with the Constitution’s reserving all but a few enumerated powers to the states. You’d think even anti-abortion activists might accept, even celebrate, this blow against the ever-growing, heavy-handed managerial super state. Nope. The possibility that some people somewhere might choose a different policy from their own has them baying for blood. No parley with the heathens!
So-called conservatives having no overriding principles, just hatred toward their opponents on a single issue and refusal to budge a centimeter, destroy from within the influence of any rightist movement.
Nayib Bukele is a rock star. He visits small towns in El Salvador without a large security presence. The people love him. We need dozens of Nayib Bukeles to rise up and take back what has been stolen from us. God protect him.

Dems will pull up Abortion in the ads, and white women will eat it up.
Conservatives should have focused on race, instead of abortion.

Dr. Freud here. I am a psychodynamic theoretician. I have a lot of company. That is, we believe that our conscious, rational, thinking does not constitute the whole of our mental life. There exists an unconscious slice, and it is a heckuva big slice. It is “ the biological imperative,” and the components are summarized in the quote above. The essay and the book apparently disagree with this or ignore it. Big mistake, because society has crossed-over into the biological-imperative. Most people are now unwittingly like bacteria in a petri dish, irresistibly compelled to increase their territory and friend group; nothing else matters as much.
Another forever war!
Qassam: Resistance ready for long battle of attrition, Gaza ‘graveyard for invaders’
https://thecradle.co/articles/qassam-resistance-ready-for-long-battle-of-attrition-gaza-graveyard-for-invaders
Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Obeida on 17 May said the Palestinian resistance in Gaza is prepared for a “long war of attrition” against the Israeli army and revealed that 100 “Zionist military vehicles” have been taken out over the past 10 days across Gaza.
“Despite our full desire to stop the aggression against our people, we are prepared for a long battle of attrition against the enemy, dragging them into a swamp where they will gain nothing but the death of their soldiers and the capture of their officers,” Obeida said in a televised speech, adding that the resistance’s readiness “is not because we are a great power, but because we are the people of this land and rightful owners.”
More than seven months into the Israeli genocidal war in Gaza, the Palestinian resistance this month showed it is far from defeated, as clashes have intensified across the length of Gaza.
Brilliant article, and fascinating how a comedic chorus of boilerplate antisemites show up to dump on it, apparently on cue. I suspect they are representatives of the ruling class with a purpose of making the good and wise look dirty, an example of the manipulation of public opinion that the article describes.
As long as the Right thinks of itself as “the Right”, it will lose, because that identity is a lie. The Left is built for lying, and will always win at it.
Political ideology is always ruinous because it diverts priority from the true foundation of society: kinship. The male genetic interest is his Y-DNA clade; the female genetic interest is her clan and race. Countries are horrid amalgamations of Y-DNA clade that commonly fight brother wars with their neighbors over differences of ideology that are irrelevant to the individuals involved. Western countries allow women to vote despite women having no territorial instinct; immivasion ensues.
Ideology and borders are matters for clade leaders to decide. Individual men need only concern themselves with the interests of their paternal cousins to the third and 4th degree. Women’s political scope is even smaller, and primarily consists of insisting that their men marry women who are close kin, as Rebecca did for Jacob in the Old Testament.

Northern European Americans became the stupidest idiots once they ditched race-ism.
I would argue that the Traditional Conservative WASPs elites in the USA allied themselves with the Zio/jewish/anglo interests. Hence the bankruptcy of the Conservative American establishment was not accidental, it was a calculated demolition operation.. The only ones resisting the Globohomo are the Midde/poor working Class, and small farmers that had been devastated by the its economic/politcal NEOCON policies. One of the core problems is that the American Conservatives NEVER read Antonio Gramcis work and oher monumental Marxists boks, tracts. So they can NOT understand the priimal role of CULTURE to reproduce its power structures (education,Media, politics, church, courts, communityand VIOLENCE). The Ameruican Right completely retreated from the Cultural arena and even showed disdain for intellectual Academics, arts, media etc. It would be very difficult to find a Conservative Students Unions openly in any USA traditional High schools, or University. There is no parallel structures/paradigms to counter the woke libersl left movement at any level, socioecomic cultural . The 2020 Elections that Trump won and was taken away from him, was a glimpse into the mosntruosity of the deep DEM/GOP unitary party elites fraud networks to steal the elections. The GOP/MAGA trump supporters walked into an ambush they came out beaten bloody. The DEMs/GOP had weaponize the state security/judicial/inteliggence apparatus in express clear violatuions of the USA Constitution. The Final blow came with the J6 llegal illegitimate circus trials. The American Conservative Movements must break the litnus test that only White CHRISTIAN can be conservativces, in a growing non white/non christian populations. Unlike Mcintyre I stuill belive that the USA Constitution is the ONLY hope left to rally the American electoral masses, it is not religion, neither libertarianism, I fidn it curious that Mcintyre recognizes the crucial role of the MEDIA (digital platforms) but he seems reluctant to identify the jewish/Neocons domnation of Media, academics, arts, sports, Hollywood, foreign reations and the woke policies of the gfay/lgbt/trans gender antinature agenda. The woke Gobohome has been pushing agressively and the American Conservatives had been retreatng volubtarrily . Specially in the Institutions of higher learning the reproductive grounds for the future cadres ,elites (managerial class) apparachiks. I strongly believe that in a multidiverse society the Primacy of the USA Constitution can give the American Conservtives the cohesive force to achieve POWER. NO an accident that the WOKE GloboHome wnats to eviscerate the USA Constitution and our collective History labeling them WHITE Supremacists racists archaic fossils. BUT its is our only HOPE left to contunue as ONE Nation.
Yet not only do they protect and cherish the main proponents of abortion, Gods chosen people, but they also want to empty the US treasury and send “our boys” to defend these satanic ritual child sacrificers.
It is clown world on steroids, with Donald Trump the fake “Born Again” crypto Jew as its poster child.
Total agreement. American “liberal democracy” is dead, having died in an ugly way by a thousand cuts since WWI. No prominent politician recognizes the interests of the citizens, except by fake sympathy before elections.
It is time to cut to the chase and remove the Zionist-banker, corporate, MIC, and academic oligarchy which is sucking the life blood out of our society. Since elections are rigged, it is hard to imagine that meaningful change can happen in an orderly way, but happen it must.
I assume this book was mostly written before Oct 7. That event changed the game completely, and this book will end up aging poorly. “Cthulu” is currently swimming “right.” This has become very obvious now that police are beating leftist college students and academics or standing aside while JDL-style gangs led by mossad and IDF agents assault them. “Wokeness” is being sidelined for now, and the real ruling class (which is not made up of leftoid journalists and academics) is hastily trying to cobble together some kind of kosher “right wing” nationalism/patriotism to serve their immediate purposes.
Excellent article. Just a few personal observations:
The “Experts” are never listened to. They have no power at all. I say this based on extensive experience in this area. A young daughter of mine once said that she knew something was true because she had seen it on an episode of a TV fictional series. I pointed out that she had seem professional actors receipting a script written by people she had never seen. Consider “government experts” in the same light as that TV show and you won’t go far wrong. The “government Experts” are actors reading scripts from political factions. The real experts either do not exist, or are considered a threat by all sides of the assorted managerial fight that always prevails.
The place where I live gets very many refugees from California and Illinois. It is not necessary to tell these people that their State of origin’s “most cherished views are wrong”. They tell you before you can bring the subject up.
Anyone taking Moldberg seriously enough to discuss him in a hardcover book is either an idiot or a gatekeeper.

It’s the most insidious form of hasbara.
“Sure, you see things are going badly, goy, but don’t fall for the JQ canard. Just call it a “conspiracy” or a “secular religion” or, here’s a new one, “The Cathedral.”
The appeal is two-fold.
First, the “conservative” who wants the approval of the Leftist elites, and also want to think of themselves as superior to the unwashed white trash for “fall for conspiracy theories and other tropes and canards.”
Also, appeal to pseudo-intellectuals, giving them a new set of ideological toys to play with (friend/enemy, the Cathedral, circulation of elites, etc.) and thus confirm status as “big thinkers.”
The Sky Jew they worship only cares about abortion (more souls and foreskins), not race (neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ),
Tell me again, Brad, about how “Christian Nationalists” are based, and ready to win, almost any day now!
Got that right!
But what purpose is served by this “excellent article”?
Why does the Diffident Right have practically nothing to say about Gaza or the Antisemitism Awareness Act?
The best opinion on abortion is “what race is it”?
Being against abortion is a glorious, a-biblical own goal, as only the Conservatives can deliver.
This is a really important and educational article Greg. Thank you. I will be using it as a reference work for my work in South Africa.
There is no ” Gaza genocide ” unless you are one of those stupid Mohammedans who talked about ” revolution ” in the Middle East when in fact there was none to speak about.
Genocide and revolution are two big words. We have to be careful when we use them.
There are at least two ways a change could happen.
– The regime could try to reform itself, for whatever reason, and will end up destroying itself instead. See:
https://morgoth.substack.com/p/western-perestroika-is-trump-the
Doesn’t have to be Trump specifically, of course.
– The regime will end in a coup or a revolution when a major (financial/economic, most likely) crisis comes (one inevitably will).
I give this regime 25 more years max, optimistically. Not only the empire is in decline, but the domestic situation shows signs of regime instability, such as extreme political polarization, loss of legitimacy by the regime (mistrust of elections and politicians, lack of hope for change, no perceived political alternatives, a sense that the system is not working for the benefit of the people), economic inequality, incompetence of the ruling elites, growing normalization of violence, growing social problems, etc.
Can the likes of Dementia Joe, Mitch McConnel and John Fetterman avert a catastrophe, or are they too retarded for that?
Free markets/capitalism are not premised on anarchy. The state plays a necessary role in regulating free markets, by enforcing contracts, protecting intellectual property, and punishing extortion, theft, arson, trade libel, fraud, and monopoly.
Where did you get the idea that conservatives worship at the feet of giant, evil corporations?
Sad to say anytime someone on the Right finally starts seeing the light on issues like race, they are attacked and drummed out by others and attacked as a racist.
Gregory Hood = garbage. James Burnham = cesspool. Excuse my unsophisticated way of commenting but I couldn’t wade through this smelly article. I am a real conservative.
“The book isn’t worth reading if it doesn’t mention Jewish power”
Do you realize the catch-22 you just created?
* People like you won’t consider reading anything if it does NOT take the J issue into account
* Most people won’t consider reading anything if it DOES take the J issue into account
Please realize:
1. The J issue is DESIGN level. You get there once you start looking at representation, ask ‘cui bono’, do system analysis, or whatever your favorite path is
2. The book strictly stays on the IMPLEMENTATION level
Very few people, if any, arrive directly at the design level. They HAVE TO pass the implementation level first. You need to understand what is actually going on before you can start discussing whether some entity put it in place, and even actively pushes it. This is the hard part; most people poop their pants before even considering entering this level.
Yet that is what you REQUIRE.
Consider not doing that, push people to study implementation and then use some subtle method to have them consider the design issue.
Trump is definitely not the ideal nationalist leader, most importantly for his shameless support for murderous Zionists, but he will at least buy some time. As far as his pro-Zionism goes, the Democ-rats like Biden are Zionists too. Murica does not have any option but to support the genocidal state no matter who becomes President, “America, be used as toilet paper and then thrown away by israhell” as Satanyahoo once said. All Trump will give traditional Americans is more buying time, which can be crucial, may make all the difference in the storm that is inevitably coming in the future.
Let’s keep things simple shall we. There is no left or right in America, there are just elite rulers.
Politics is an entertaining game to play, and lucrative to boot.
Fact is that the great unwashed love this game, just look at the behavior of grown ass people at political rallies. On average we do have the government we deserve.
100% agree
As I was reading the article, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, ‘hmmm, no mention of jews in a TUR article? I’ll bet it doesn’t take more than a few comments for the cocksucking retarded nazi cunts to show up and crap all over it.’
And as if on cue, there they were.
It’s always the same BS. When all you’ve got is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
This is something like a liberal axiom. But the elites are not turning themselves off to new talent that is willing to conform, willing to value personal success over any personal disagreement. There are always those who are not willing to conform, and there is always oppositional “talent” that is necessarily ostracized by a particular ruling class in every society. It’s really the job of established elites and their institutions to ensure opposing talent never attains independent power. And I think in our society, great wealth (which is representative of power) does not exist independently; it is intertwined with other people’s wealth and social institutions which all have a great conforming effect. In other words, a business enterprise depends on good relations with other supporting businesses as well as economic and political institutions. A billionaire depends on a certain level of good relations with other billionaires and the government in order to maintain his or her status. All these relationships are like a filtration process weeding out those who aren’t willing to “play ball”, so to speak. And so, if the ruling class “harmonizes” around a particular set of ideals or objectives over time, then no real opposition can be produced in that system. “The opposition” is simply disempowered and relegated to either a “glass ceiling” at best or it is totally disenfranchised at worst. This is the situation.
Cracks deepen in Israel as opposition head issues ‘ultimatum’ to Netanyahu
https://thecradle.co/articles/cracks-deepen-in-israel-as-opposition-head-issues-ultimatum-to-netanyahu
Israeli War cabinet minister Benny Gantz issued an ultimatum in a speech on 18 May, threatening to abandon Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition if the Israeli prime minister fails to present a clear plan for how Gaza will be ruled should Hamas be defeated in the current war.
In his speech, Gantz criticized Netanyahu’s management of the war, saying the army should have launched the ongoing invasion of Rafah months ago, in defiance of international warnings that such an invasion would kill and displace vast numbers of Gaza civilians already on the brink of starvation.
“A war is only won with a clear and realistic strategic compass,” said Gantz, who brought his National Unity party into the governing coalition after the start of the war on 7 October.
Gantz blamed Netanyahu and the far-right ministers in his coalition for “acting with cowardice and a lack of responsibility” and “thinking of themselves” at the expense of the Israeli state and the public.
He added that “within the holy of holies of Israeli security, personal and political considerations have begun to penetrate.”
Gantz warned that if Netanyahu does not implement a clear plan to win the war by 8 June, he will abandon the ruling coalition.
You should instead look at it as a litmus test for the right. Israel lovers are worthless for our future. Some are fanatical over end time prophecies, while others want some weird validation (think Trump here).
What say we expose some myths about politics?
Gary North: The vast majority of conservatives — I would guess 80% — are just like this woman. They are intellectually lazy. They have no respect for ideas. They have no intention of sacrificing either time or money to become better informed. They just want to feel superior. They spend their spare time ranting to other ill-informed people on the multibillionaire wokesters’ social media platforms. In the great conflicts of life, they are bystanders. They do not have the strength of character to be winners. They think ranting is a substitute for thinking. They expect victory to be handed to them on a silver platter. –

The managerial state and whoever is in back of them are planning a great human cull. Good righties will call this a conspiracy theory. Bless their little hearts but they think the current system is worth fixing. It is not. Anyway the likes of B&M Gates Foundation and WEF literally tell us that is their kill off plans. The managerial state plan on relying on AI computers to pick up the slack.
I would love AI to replace some washers in the kitchen sink and reline my chimney. It can’t, and its doubtful our masters will waste resources of a robot on something like plumbing. Basic humans skills are the most obvious weakness in the managerial state’s existence. Even now competency is currently becoming a rare thing in our managerial state.
The future of the managerial state will hold on until total failure of the infrastructure happens. Yeah I am predicting a Bronze Age ending event here. Skills within a local network of like minded individuals is the upmost. As is surviving any devious plot the criminally insane “elite” have planned. Also learn the value in both silence and inaction when it comes to those who have named you the enemy.
I think Trump will nuke Gaza without qualms if Bibi orders him to.

It will have to be an organic development that dooms this regime of the central state. If entropy is already taking place, it’s on the fiscal side of reality. Our federal government is no longer a going concern financially. It cannot bring in enough cash to fund all the priorities it has assumed. That takes us to the most valuable conclusion of the book;
We’re beyond the point where the regime is able to keep all of its promises and, if a secular religion’s gods are no longer delivering the goods, they will be struck down and burned.
Mein Kampf was hardly “ignored” and Adolf made a lot of money off it (at government’s expense as it was “given free to every newlywed couple and every soldier fighting at the front.” Adolf was a corrupt grifter who didn’t pay his taxes.). Wikipedia says
You can’t beat something with nothing, but they try.
My problem with the “comedic chorus of boilerplate antisemites” is that their rhetoric is always and constantly negative, critical, and condescending, but never advances any rational and logical argument as to why others should listen to them. It is always and forever “The Jew”, a continuous finger-pointing exercise.
Blaming someone else for your problems is nothing more than an evasion of personal responsibility, which is ironic, since so much of the rhetoric emanating from people of this sort appears to be an appeal to the sovereign individualist mentality which, if adhered to consistently, would demand that personal responsibility be first and foremost.
Vitriolic, vindictive hatred appears to be the stock in trade. They are stuck. This will never change until the attitude changes.
This is good advice, not just for the JQ, but for any divisive topic. The problem with it is that, if people learn and study, they may not come to the same understanding you do. There is always the possibility that they might arrive at a different conclusion. Encouraging people to study is a risky business.
In this post-WW2 era, any anti-Jewish rhetoric is immediately radioactive and self-defeating, which is why your hypothesis (ie. that the anti-Jewish commenters are actually agents of the Left) has some merit. No better way to defeat the Right than to tie it to political radioactivity.
The American right has not grown up.
They still refuse to face the reality of race and will take ANY type of “minimal government” or Judo-Croation morals explanation that any talking head will provide. Got book on how Detroit was ruined by auto union’s? TAKE MY MONEY!!! Got a friendly looking Black guy that can repeat oversimplified tropes like “government is the problem”? RUN HIM FOR OFFICE!!!! Why hasn’t Haiti turned into a minimal government utopia? TURN ON FOX AND STOP THINKING SO MUCH.
However, Mr. MacIntyre argues that the permanent progressive bureaucracy will remain, and still be at war with human nature. Unless that is abolished, a change at the top will not fix the problem.
So another book on how the left is filled with hypocritical, power hungry freaks that hate White men along with few solutions other than the same old allusions to minimal government and conservative principles.
Wow thanks professor. Go ahead and add your book to the stack over there.

Everything at that point is futile; we will all be dead!
Western demographic suicide is the result of abortion (the indispensable condition for feminism which is indispensable for mass immigration, women welcoming the invaders).
The people who support abortion are with the Jews – certainly they AGREE with the Jews on a fundamental issue. Tying the Jews to abortion is essential to revealing who they are. The wasp-Jew alliance centers on abortion because of their hatred for Christ.
Yet somehow association with international Communism has retained / regained its reputation in thirty years.
Before WW2 they said antisemites were a throwback to medieval times, now they say they’re Nazis, but the bottom line is that people are afraid of those with the most influence attacking their reputation. It has little to do with the content of the attack. All these shitlib leftist protesters are antisemite Hamas Nazis now. And no doubt you think they’re “stupid” for letting themselves be associated with Hamas which is a “Nazi group.”
People who think they’re intelligent for refusing to take a stand may be practical in the sense of avoiding personal risk, but they are wholly impractical for political work.
A&P is gone (vertically integrated, heavily unionized) is gone and now companies more like Walmart now stands in its place.

An article written by a prolific conservative journalist who has so many pseudonyms it is difficult to tell who he is, about a book written by an author who champions the White cause but himself not White and who uses a Scottish surname, that is published four years too late to do anything about the predicament America finds itself in. One of the markers of propaganda is to present something way too late (e.g., Tucker Carlson). This article is right out of 1984.
How was Egypt able to remove from power those who pulled off a coup in 2013 that took over their government with the help of London bankers, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and the CIA? Not because they had an intellectuals like Auron McIntyre or Gregory Hood. It is because they had a head of the Egyptian army, El Sisi, who appealed to the people to demonstrate some way that they wanted the Muslim Brotherhood backed Mohamed Morsi removed from power. So some 50 million Egyptians dragged their living room couches out into the street all on the same day – called the Couch Party Movement – to give the army the legitimacy to take back the government. El Sisi proceeded to form a broad coalition of the Egyptian Supreme Court, the Islamic University in Cairo, and religious leaders such as the head of the Coptic Christian Church, and removed the election riggers from power. Moral of story: Only believe those who have military experience not intellectuals even if they are saying what you want to hear. This is what Machiavelli taught – don’t follow the philosopher kings but the men of action (Agathocles, Xenophon, Scipio, Cyrus, Romulus and Theseus.
All you have to do is expel the Jews and make it illegal to be a Jew and mandatorily abort Jew fetuses before extradition to country of Jew origin. Sanitize this world of Jew vermin and everything gets better.
It’s not 2008 anymore, grandpa. Anyone under the age of 40 who is politically aware at all has been introduced to the basics of the Jewish problem. It’s not some kind of “radioactive” topic like it is with Jew-worshiping boomer scum. People will still refrain from talking about it, but only because Jews will ruin their lives if they do, not because they have some kind of love for the Jews. Everyone understands Jewish power at this point (except for boomers).
Warring against the eternal Jew isn’t political suicide anymore, such endeavors will form the spine of the God-fearing and wholesome side of a globe-encompassing holy war between humanity and demonkind in the immediately foreseeable future. Jews aren’t human beings and humanity is beginning belatedly to figure it all out. There is only one viable option for dealing with humanity-hostile nonhuman sentient species and that is total eradication — you’ll see it enacted in your lifetime if you’re not a decrepit, status-quo addict, chronically-lead-exposed-during-childhood brain-damaged boomer.

Your treatise is spot-on with one exception–
The USA is going down because the jews “in charge” have been responsible for destroying our history.
The renaming of military bases along with the removal of statues and monuments to our past is fulfilling one of the basic tenets of jewish bolshevik communism. Destruction of our cultural icons and the erasure our history are proceeding on schedule.
So far the jewish bolsheviks have been successful in establishing our present-day Weimar Republic 2.0 right here in the USA.
One major problem in the USA is that conservatives generally respect the “rule of law” follow “decorum and procedures” and expect “the other side” to do so as well.
Liberals (jewish bolshevik communists) are ruthless and don’t follow any “rules” and will use any means to achieve control and “get what they want”.
Until conservatives finally decide to “play by the same rules” as liberals, things will not change.
The race problem is impossible to solve for a lot of people. Imagine being a white man who “knows,” but who has a sibling with racemixed children. What can you do? Do you disown your family members? I have two siblings who married Latinos, and my sibling who married a white man has her tubes tied. Aside from my parents, all of my aunts and uncles married Latinos. What do you think the skintone of the future generation of my family looks like? If I expressed a racist sentiment at family dinner I would be outed forever and I would be the one getting disowned. I would have to cease social relations with my entire family in order to adopt a public rhetorical stance that matches my unspoken yet indubitable biologically racist worldview. And for my part, I’ve never even been casual friends with a white woman because they can smell my empty wallet from 600 meters away. Race-conscious white people are socially isolated and have no resources to work with here.
A&P is gone (vertically integrated, heavily unionized) is gone and now companies more like Walmart now stands in its place.

The so-called ‘free press’.
What is good about reading TUR articles every day and commenting often is that something starts to sink in, something that you had an inkling about, but remained inchoate in your head until you see your own words on the screen: and then, clink!, all of a sudden the penny drops. You “realize” something, that is, you bring it into concrete existence, you make it actual, you become fully aware of something. The word “realize” actually meant “to make real” and sometimes still does.
So what did I “realize” today? Well, reading this article I had this uneasy feeling that something wasn’t right, even about the author’s name. After I looked some things up, it suddenly dawned on me: “Gregory Hood” is an oxymoron meant to confuse and confound us — and that’s all his articles were meant to do also. “Gregory” comes from the Greek “Gregorios,” which means “watchful” or “vigilant.” But how the hell can you be “watchful” if you have a “Hood” over your eyes? What are you watchin’, Gregory — the inside of the damn hood? Confusing, huh? It was meant to be.
But Hood has not only placed the wool over his own eyes: he is trying to put the Hood of Deception over our heads as well. Hood is hoodwinking us. Gregory Hoodwinker is like a reverse Robin Hood: he steals our awareness to serve the interests of the Jews. Hood is part of the ploy to continue to manipulate our reality, whether he is conscious of this or not. He is working for the Jews, whether he knows it or not.
The same could be said about (M)Auron: like Hood, he is also a dangerous golem creature working for the Jews. The fact that neither ever touch upon the core issue, the real problem, means they are also The Enemy. Let there be no doubt about this. What both are doing is using their respective pulpits to engage in superficial debates and arguments in order to divert our gaze away from the Real Issue: Jewish Power. It is the Jews who create our reality, through the media, the publishing houses, academia, Hollywood — you name it, the Jews control it. And this utter control over the minds of the goys is so evident once you see it that you start getting disgusted with any writer who does not mention it. Go over Hood’s articles. Search within Moron’s book. Never do either of them go anywhere near the word “Jews”. It’s sickening.
Hood and Moron are both part of the Jew media outlet, whether consciously and paid, whether unconsciously and idiotic. Both engage in superficial discussions and arguments to try to create an illusion of conflict — much like Yarvin et caterva. This strategy actually serves the interests of the Jews. All discussion and confusion and division serve the interests of the Jews — as long as you don’t talk about “The Jews”. Hood’s article is not mere trash — it’s poisonous trash. And so is Moron’s book. Give them the spite they both deserve.
1. **Establish Jewish Ownership of Journals**:
– Acquire the majority of journals to counteract the harmful influence of goy-owned press.
– Gain substantial influence over public opinion through this ownership.
2. **Outnumber Private Journals**:
– For every ten goy journals permitted, establish thirty Jew-controlled journals.
– Maintain secrecy about the true ownership of these journals to avoid public suspicion.
3. **Create Diverse Appearances for Jewish Journals**:
– Publish journals with a wide range of apparent tendencies and opinions.
– Build trust among the public by appearing to represent various viewpoints.
4. **Organize Journals into Three Ranks**:
– **First Rank**: Official journals that clearly support Jewish interests, with limited influence.
– **Second Rank**: Semi-official journals designed to attract the indifferent and undecided.
– **Third Rank**: Apparent opposition journals that seem to oppose the government but actually serve its purposes. These will help identify real opponents by gaining their trust.
5. **Simulate Opposition and Control Public Opinion**:
– Ensure that all journals, regardless of apparent stance, ultimately work towards Jewish aims.
– Use varied editorial stances (aristocratic, republican, revolutionary, anarchical) to cover all public opinions.
6. **Manipulate Public Sentiment**:
– Guide public opinion subtly to align with Jewish goals.
– Take advantage of heightened public emotions to influence opinions, as excited individuals are more susceptible to suggestion.
7. **Maintain Illusion of Free Speech**:
– Create superficial debates and arguments between Jewish-controlled and official newspapers.
– Use these debates to elaborate on Jewish views and maintain the appearance of freedom of speech.
8. **Organize Media Strategy**:
– Establish a central department of the Jewish press to coordinate media efforts.
– Hold gatherings where agents discreetly issue daily orders and talking points.
9. **Implement Superficial Criticism**:
– Engage in superficial critiques of Jewish policies through third-rank press outlets.
– Use these critiques to strengthen the perception of free speech and discredit genuine opposition.
10. **Publicize Superficial Oppositions**:
– Allow semi-official organs to energetically refute trial criticisms made by third-rank press outlets.
– Use these controlled refutations to further solidify Jewish narratives.
11. **Excite or Calm Public Sentiment as Needed**:
– Use Jewish media to either excite or calm public sentiment on political issues, depending on what benefits the Jews.
– Mix truth and lies as necessary, carefully testing the public’s reception before fully committing to any narrative.
12. **Suppress Opponent Platforms**:
– Prevent opponents from having access to media platforms where they can fully express their views.
– Only refute opposition superficially to maintain control over the narrative.
By following these steps, the Jews can effectively control and manipulate public opinion, ensuring that the public remains aligned with its interests while believing in the existence of genuine freedom of speech.
>Burnham’s Suicide of the West
It’s interesting that you mention this book, which was published in 1964, i.e. on the cusp of the ‘civil rights’ era, and before Hart-Celler, when America was still recognizably European, both racially and (for the most part) culturally — its full title is Suicide of the West — The Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism — there is another, more recent book (published in 2018, i.e. during the Trump presidency) with the exact same title, written by the Jew Jonah Goldberg:
Suicide of the West — How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy
One could call Goldberg’s the ‘diversity’ and ‘proposition nation’ version of Suicide of the West.
There will have to be a reevaluation of the Cold War.
Economically, communism was doomed.
But it was cultural capitalism that created the formula that led to the destruction of tradition and patriotism.
There was much talk of International Communism, but most communist states were pretty nationalist. Within the Warsaw Pact where the Soviet Union was dominant, each nation maintained its borders and national identity. (Even within the Soviet Union, minority groups were allowed their national heritage, far more effectively than in the capitalist West.)
In contrast, international or global capitalism has truly led to the destruction of borders and tradition and identity. Ireland, and now Poland.
Auron Mac’s book is a kind of fascist take on politics, one I’ve been endorsing.
Instead of filtering reality through terms like ‘democracy’ and ‘rules based order’, look how the power really works. See how the sausage is really made. See who has the real power. Instead of focusing on elected politicians, who funds them, who controls them, who nudges them.
Instead of calling it the ‘free press’, who owns them and what are their biases and agenda.
Yeah killing babies awesome. You should practice it as much as possible with your own seed.
Bromance needs to ponder why Japan lost it’s sovereignty? Maybe it’s because they don’t get taught history properly at school, in any event, it’s because Japan lost a war of aggression! However, since bro and his ilk don’t seem to comprehend the word aggression, it’s no wonder that it has come to this sorry state.
And humiliation for losing sovereignty is a bit of a straw man really, after all, the choice was loss of sovereignty or nuclear carpet bombing/starvation by blockade, I think the present generation of brolets should be glad that occupation was an option, as opposed to the way Japan ‘occupied’ other Asian countries in the war; Japan got off very light indeed. If that occupation was so humiliating, why can’t the brolets empathize with Korean and Chinese hard feeling about they way they suffered at the hands of the Japanese Army, and why can’t right-wingers on the net stop telling them to ‘get over it’? Japan suffered no atrocities during it’s occupation, yet still feels the need to dredge it back up? Forward looking much?
It’s a typical case of collective amnesia by consent combined with victim complex on Japan’s part, which in turn is compounded by the ‘Japan as center of the world’ narrow-mindedness. that prevents them from seeing how deeply offensive this attitude is to Japan’s victims.
Zips never accused Israeli officials of lying:
Israeli Minister of Heritage Amichai Eliyahu
North Gaza is more beautiful than ever. Blowing up everything is amazing. When finished, we will hand over the lands of Gaza to to soldiers & settlers who lived in Gush Katif [former Jewish settlements in the south of Gaza].”
Likud MP, Galit Distel Atbaryan
Hate on the enemy. Hate on the monsters. Every bucket of internal conflict is a horribly crazy and stupid waste of energy. Invest that energy in one thing: erasing all of Gaza from the face of the earth. That the brave monsters will fly to the southern fence
Netanyahu
We will turn Gaza into a deserted island. To the citizens of Gaza, I say. You must leave now. We will target each and every corner of the strip.”
Israeli President Isaac Herzog
Unequivocally, its an entire nation out there that is responsible. This rhetoric about civilians is not true. Its not true they were not aware, not involved… we will fight and it will break the backbone.
So you have Israeli officials admitting genocide and you have systemic bombing of Gaza, something that you would do if you actually were committing genocide.
This is the part when you justify the genocide/enthic cleansing or gaslight because this is what zio filth do when cornered.
What rock have you been living under?
And you trust the state? Hardehar. You are really confused.
I was reading the comment section, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, ‘hmmm, no mention of neo natsees in a TUR comment section? I’ll bet it doesn’t take more than a few comments for SomeDick and Reuben Cunt show up and menstruate all over it’
And as if on cue, there they are.
Well done! You do understand that children are derivatives of their parents and not all spawn are equally valuable. More than half way to the eugenics pill.
Well as an addition to what you said, I’ll point out that if one were to identify Jews as a group with problematic tendencies, then the various interrelationships between them and non-Jews in America, to include extensive interfamilial relations, would certainly make that issue more difficult to solve than is usually admitted.
Negrolatry will destroy the West.
It’s sick. Jews do lawfare on Trump, but he sucks up to Jews.
Blacks overwhelmingly vote Democratic and burn down cities and loot stores in name of BLM, but MAGA’s big pitch is blacks may vote for Trump.
Race is real. Race-ism is the only answer. Acknowledge the racial differences, admit the destructiveness of black nature, and work toward real solutions.
You can dress them up, teach them language, give them cell phones, credit cards, a drivers license, and even put a piece of paper that represents a college degree in their hand.
They evolved isolated 300K yrs in Africa as savages, it is, and what they’ll always be… ALWAYS.
The Jews could not control us if we were a moral and virtuous people.
The general thrust of this article, and the book, is sound.
The Leviathan state has taken on a life of its own, and the credentialed midwits staffing it have incentives that make the interests of the credentialed class diverge from the people that class allegedly serves.
As personal identity has been destroyed by the progressive secular state and its war upon family, community, and social obligation, an individual’s sole remaining identity is that of cog in the machine – the average person is now controlled by the machine by virtue of being terrified of losing her/her place in the machin(ery) of society; i.e. within the state bureaucracy or mega-corporation.
Also, the thesis that the latest degenerate outrage pushed by the Jews (trannyism, CovID tyranny, climate ‘crisis’ tyranny) is never opposed within the system because these issues provide the players within the system with opportunities to increase power/wealth is sound.
Liberalism and the nanny state have destroyed any sense of personal responsibility or social obligation in the average ‘adult’ citizen – these are foreign concepts for the vast majority of citizens, including most of those staffing Leviathan.
Liars and deceivers they are indeed.
Israeli rights group admits it helped spread false claims about 7 Oct. rapes
Ali Abunimah
An Israeli human rights group is walking back its endorsement of Israel’s evidence-free claims of a systematic campaign of sexual violence by Hamas fighters on 7 October.
The “position paper” published by Physicians for Human Rights-Israel in November had served for months as a key talking point for Israeli propagandists.
“It is becoming more apparent that the violence perpetrated against women, men and children also included widespread sexual and gender-based crimes,” the position paper claimed.
But now, the human rights group aims to absolve itself of the damage its irresponsible claims have done, offering justifications and excuses for why it published a report riddled with falsehoods that have been used to justify and fuel Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
“In the extensive investigations conducted in the months following the publication of the position paper in November, some testimonies referenced within it have been disputed or deemed unverifiable, and more may face similar scrutiny in the future,” Physicians for Human Rights-Israel said this month in a “clarification” statement it has also added to the online version of its November report.
“We regret their inclusion in the position paper,” the group states, claiming that “a substantial portion of the information that is now available was not accessible when the document was originally drafted.”
Face-saving spin
Physicians for Human Rights-Israel also acknowledges that it “lacks the sufficient staffing, resources or professional tools required to carry out the thorough and competent investigation” of the kind it advocated in its November paper.
It now claims that its call did help “prompt an investigation by a professional body – a team led by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ms. Pramila Patten.”
This however is just more face-saving spin.
Israel and its propagandists paraded the report issued by the Patten team in early March as a UN endorsement of their mass rape lies – something that was made easier by how the UN authors bent over backwards in their attempts to lend credence to the Israeli claims……

The favorite term for Palestinian Resistance groups in depicting the sorry state of the Israeli military as of late has been, the Israeli army is as weak as a ‘spider web’.
The race problem is impossible to solve for a lot of people.
I would say it difficult for most people to face. Forget problem solving, we don’t have an American right that can face the reality in front of them.
But it is the job of political leaders to face those realities and act in the best interest of their constituents.
I am not asking for a White nationalist right. What we need is a populist right that faces the reality of race and disconnects itself from libertarian thinking that assumes race is just skin color and the free market is everything. That leads to failed solutions and a corporate dominated right that isn’t in the best interest of the majority.
Imagine being a white man who “knows,” but who has a sibling with race mixed children. What can you do?
We have a guy in town whose model looking daughter has a mulatto kid and no husband. He is the grumpiest man I have ever seen. Well not my problem and I don’t know how much he lied to her as a kid. I had all kinds of authorities (liberal and conservative) lie to me about race and they deserve what they get.
I’m not asking anyone to make a scene at the family table. The topic is the American right and I would like a change from our political leaders. They are not growing up. The American right is dominated by baby boomers that hold out for Leave it to Bantu.
Aside from my parents, all of my aunts and uncles married Latinos. What do you think the skintone of the future generation of my family looks like?
Light brown.
But you have nothing to complain about. I’ve seen White couples with adopted kids that wanted to hang themselves. In fact I grew up knowing a couple that actually took a kid back to the adoption store. Or the White dad who married into raising a “Whoops” kid that is a pain in the ass and clearly not his race or even close.
I get that you imagined your family continuing to be White but that isn’t in the cards.
And for my part, I’ve never even been casual friends with a white woman because they can smell my empty wallet from 600 meters away.
Are you in the country or the city? White women in the country are completely different. Around here a White man who is in shape and not on drugs can get a girlfriend easily. Full time employment is not even required. White liberal women in the city want to have kids and expect that their children will be in private school to avoid the noid. You really do need a 6 figure salary in most American cities to have a family and keep them safe.
For once, we agree!
The high point in real wage increases occurred in 1970. It’s been all downhill since then.
You are correct about the American auto companies “not seeing the forest for the trees” and ignoring the much superior quality control that Japanese auto companies stressed. Blaming the unions for the failures of American auto companies is just wrong.
Even now, labor costs account for only 10% of the cost of a car.
Unions have their problems and can be counterproductive, especially where incentives are involved.
My personal experiences with unions:
I was hired by a large firm to maintain complex electrical and electronic systems. Within 6 months, my employer was able to eliminate the use of contractors. I had brought the repair operations “in-house” thereby saving my employer a considerable amount of money.
My employer decided to reward me with a substantial “raise”. All went well until my “union” (which I was FORCED to belong to) found out about it. My “union’s” position was “if he gets a raise, everyone else in the bargaining unit must get a raise”. My “raise” was promptly rescinded. Efforts by my employer to create another “bargaining unit” job classification was met with hostility by my “union”. Here I was, FORCED to pay “union dues”, to a “union” that is keeping me down.
It took TWO YEARS, upon the expiration and renegotiation of the “contract” , for me to get my “raise”.
If I had my way, “right-to-work” without forced union membership would be the “law of the land”. As it stands now, a number of states do have “right-to-work” laws on the books while others do enforce mandatory union membership in order to keep one’s job.
NO person;s job should be held hostage to forced union membership.
Among the Ashkenazi Adverse there is a faction that absolves themselves of personal responsibility by blaming everything on Ashies. They are indeed vindictive and vitriolic, but no less than than The Reuben Cunts and the SomeDicks that clumsily attempt to distract us from the reality of Ashkenazi power.
Reuben Cunts “comedic chorus of boilerplate antisemites” include appears to include anyone pointing out the flaw in the article, and it is a flaw.
IMHO, I don’t speak for the “right”, neither does anybody else.
Gaza: two scorpions in a cage. Reach into the cage and you get stung by one or both.
Antisemitism Awareness Act:
Aptly named, it’s an act. After 2008 the Black coalition with Obama as leader deposed the Jewish coalition in the Executive Branch. He was able to do that because:
(a) the Black coalition has the dominant force of street fighters. Antifa is potent but too small to substitute for Black coalition street fighters, and The Black coalition favors the Gazans / Palestinians. Obama also leads the Black coalition of Government employees, which includes those in DoD. Obama was the leader of the anti-Trump campaigns during Trump’s time as President, and his people run the Biden Administration.
(b) The US Legislative Branch is ineffective and has been for some time (See: Kaiser, So Damn Much Money, 2009, which describes the current state of the US Federal Legislative Branch and what drives it). The current “omnibus bill” approach to Federal budgets has ended the influence of the Legislative Branch. Remaining Jewish funded Legislative Branch Senators and Representatives are fighting a delaying action against the Executive Branch’s limitation of munitions sale to Israel, but the action will be short-lived.
Antisemitism Awareness Act:
Another delaying action. As written, it technically makes Judaism illegal ( https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-05-02/does-antisemitism-awareness-act-actually-make-judaism-crime ). That part might actually be enforced — it might appeal to Obama’s sense of humor. More likely, though, the delaying action will eventually end. The actual effect on freedom of speech is questionable, see: https://www.americamagazine.org/politics-society/2024/05/15/abortion-activist-lauren-handy-prison-247935
The US Federal government has not been representative since the start of the Progressive era, and has been actively Marxist/command economy since FDR was elected.
My apologies for the current situation, but somehow the Feds didn’t ask me before creating it. Maybe next time.
I stopped reading when he name dropped Curtis Yarvin.
“The favorite term for Palestinian Resistance groups in depicting the sorry state of the Israeli military as of late has been, the Israeli army is as weak as a ‘spider web’.”
This descriptor is fully 20 years old and originated with Hezbollah’s capable leader, Hassan Nasrallah.
It really pisses the IDF off, but it’s true; Nasrallah is unable to lie. This is another joke among the IDF officers. They believe Nasrallah’s words more than they do those of their own leaders. A man of integrity. They cannot find a single one among their own people.
Justify ? There is nothing to justify because your so-called genocide doesn’t exist.
The truth is this : there is a war and people are dying because Yahya Sinwar is not willing to gather enough courage to do the right thing — release the innocent hostages.
Here is Mohammed Saleh talking about ” the coward and despicable Yahya Sinwar who is now hiding behind the ass of his wife after sending others to carry out a sordid operation kill people and take women, children ….as hostages ….”
Important talk about the Palestinian issue with Muhammad Saleh :

History is dominated by the radicals, they are advancing towards a goal, no matter what the goal is. Conservatives, just want to conserve what they have/had, which is a losing strategy. Nothing stays the same, as history has conclusively shown. The only constant in history is change. Playing by the rules is a suckers game as the quest for power doesn’t have any rules. If the present situation is ever going to be reversed, blood will have to be spilled. The current population doesn’t have the fortitude for that endeavor. The sad thing is the Founding Generation had less grievances to start a rebellion than we do, but we are complacent cowards and deserve our fate.
So sick of these anti white shit stains like Gregory Hood. If you refuse to ever mention the jew you are an open and deadly enemy to the white race.
The notion that “conflict is eternal” was mentioned, but possibly not well internalized. History, so far as it can be believed, demonstrates this inconvenient truth admirably. And human societies, like the climate, cycle through periodic ups and downs, apparently without end. I’ve been around a long time now, while the country I grew up in has morphed into something almost unrecognizable. And not for the better in my judgement. Political and ideological battles will heat up as things continue to deteriorate, until some very uncomfortable inflection point tips it over into something else, quite possibly unforeseen. The global nature and interconnectedness of the times makes it all even more ominous. With any luck, I may have another ten or fifteen years to reluctantly participate, while trying to keep a safe distance. That as a species, we eat experience and extrude meaning has become glaringly obvious, with the dangers of overindulgence and indigestion always a lurking possibility. Food poisoning, even. Intellectually top-heavy and complex arguments don’t command attention the way they used to, though that proclivity too seems eternal.
You must have just jumped in from a parallel dimension, because all these things recently happened: trying to make criticism of Israel illegal, jewish billionaires plotting to breaking anti Israel campus protests, an over 50% Biden cabinet, banning Tik Tok, yet more billions shipped to Israel, etc, etc, etc.
So go back your parallel dimension, only a total retard can now openly claim that jews have nothing to do with it.
Here is my successful version of the “talk”…
Young White women especially need to have the “talk” with their parents before they are “sentenced” to a life of degradation and misery. This is the topic the “talk” should entail:
–When you consort with blacks, THIS is the result in 99.99% of cases. You will get pregnant as black males will not use birth control.
–Your “baby daddy” will only come around to collect the welfare check or EBT card from you, the “baby momma”.
–Most black males keep a “harem” of sorts, impregnating as many “baby mommas” as they can. This results in quite a lucrative income for the black male as he “collects” his due from the many “baby mommas” that he has impregnated. White women are seen as a “prize” as blacks consider taking advantage of White women as “getting back at the White man”.
You will not be the only one.
Fidelity is unknown in the black community. It is normal for black men to “sleep around”. They have no guilt about doing so. It’s a part of their culture.
–Failure to come up with the money or EBT card will result in a beating or even death for you, the “baby momma”. If a jail or prison term is the result, parenting duties are taken over by others. When this happens, the black man’s grandmother or the state usually takes over parenting duties.
This situation is considered normal behavior and is a common occurrence in the “vibrant black community”…
In fact, a prison sentence is looked upon as a “right of passage” by virtually every black man. A prison sentence establishes “street cred”.
–If you consort with blacks, look forward to being disowned and shunned by your White family. This is important. It is vital that you avoid blacks.
Be aware that blacks will attempt to “guilt trip” you by stating that “you won’t date me because I’m black”.
Your proper response is “that’s right, I don’t date outside my race”. This will immediately defuse the situation and render useless the black man’s attempt to “get a date”.
–Don’t fall for the false guilt trip. It’s not worth it.
–If, by chance you break away from the “vibrant black culture”, your half-black offspring will make it nearly impossible to find a decent White man. You will be considered “damaged goods” for consorting with blacks.
I have had this talk with both my children and grandchildren. All of them are happily married to good White men.
Ha ha ha.
Abortion, abortion, abortion.
Ha ha ha.
Thanks for illustrating my point (reply no. 15).
Ha ha ha.
In revolutionary change,
goals replace rules.
And this, children, is why we won’t be colonizing the moon or sending an expedition to Mars any time soon.
To add insult to injury our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be burdened with paying back the money borrowed for “dem programs” that made possible Shaqwana and Shanaynay’a baby mamas squirting them out. Future generations’ paying back money borrowed for educational and scientific programs is one thing. Paying back money borrowed to turn a once great 1st world country into Haiti is quite another.
Like I’ve been saying, the US since the End of History(or Ideology) really runs on Idolatry(or Idology).
A righteous Negro explains the evils of Negrolatry.
If something is idolized, it is above rebuke and criticism.
Serious, moral people—I take that category to include you and me—are close, I think, to reaching consensus that violent overthrow of the (((alien tyrants))) who have made this country unrecognizable and repellent to its authentic people might well be not just a legitimate course of action but perhaps the only course of action with any chance of success.
The Jews’ earlier experiment in murderous mass enslavement, the Soviet Union, lasted seventy years. Nothing about them has changed, of course, but this time they are aiming to rule effectively forever.
The Israelis are stuck in Gaza and have never had a “clear plan”
other than revenge and genocide. Their economy is tanking and
the body bags are headed north. But don’t fret, since bankrupt
Uncle Sucker will come to rescue them, again.
I don’t give a microfuck whether we colonize the moon or construct Walmarts and parking lots on Mars. Goals like this matter only to retards who think an expensive, pointless stunt must be done just because it is technically feasible. Or because otherwise the Chinese or Indians might beat us to it.
USA first, earth second, satellites and planets far down the list.
Curtis Yarvin’s analysis seem rather feathery and out of alignment with reality. He delivers his notions in the voice of a Gen-Z high school girl. Is he representative of right-leaning thought?
Yes, the Puppets of “the west” appear to be childish, but actually they are serving their devil master’s agenda (the Rothschild Zionist Sabbatean Bank Cult) which is to INSTIGATE MAJOR WARS…so they can ERASE THIER ENORMOUSLY UNMANAGEABLE DEBT (Great Reset)…just like they did 80 year ago with Bretton Woods and WW1 & 2.
This time: Israel vs Iran…NATO & EU vs Russia…North Korea & China vs Japan & Taiwan & South Korea…which these devil’s puppets plan to merge into ONE BIG WW3.
Banks and Wars that’s the devils game…same as it ever was!
No, it hasn’t. Yarvin’s idea that the world is run by some emergent behavior among Kindergarten teachers and GS-13 HHS cubicle-dwellers is silly. NRx is a childish distraction which only works because the target audience so desperately wants to be distracted.
Yes, that nails it well. The only thing you’ve left out is the fear.
The target audience actually does at least suspect what’s going on, and they are afraid of crossing the real power. All this silliness about the magic ability of office plankton and journalists to rule the world gives the pseuds an excuse not to look where it is definitely not in their interests to look.
Nation. Same root word as natal. A nation is an extended family. Family, community, nation. Common birth.
You write about conservatism failing to address the reality of race, and then you go on to do the same thing. The reality of race is nationalism, John. You can’t have this both ways. There is absolutely no way to “address the reality of race” outside of nationalism.
In his “am I milquetoast?” & anti White nationalism articles he inadvertently made the case for why christians will always choose to live in planet of the “uplifted” apes rather than ever second guess any of the reality denying beliefs that brought about clownworld in the first place. The two together are essentially a greatest hits collection of the weak sophistry & lies by omission his demographic constantly employs.
They almost read like parodies, almost. It would’ve crossed that threshold if he flat out claimed voting harder would fix things instead of just implying it by suggesting things will magically improve because people’s views have shifted.
I’m glad he wrote those, I’ll be able to point to them in the future anytime someone tries to claim people like him are anything but defeatists.
Abortion excuses women from their social obligation to give us a next generation. Full stop. Yes yes I know, we would have been drowning in pickaninnies without it. Well look around: we’re drowning in foreigners instead. It’s a problem that we could have solved with sons of our own, which we don’t have, because we liberated our women from their social obligations. And now we don’t have sons to resist the problem of a tidal wave of foreigners.
Abortion is disgusting and morally reprehensible. It’s an anti-natalist policy that is directly responsible for the collapse of our nation. Smug retards think there’s some win for us in the limiting of the groid population. I’m just not seeing it. We would have come up with solutions for that problem if we’d bred future generations to be raised with our values and traditions. But that future doesn’t exist.
Good job. Big win.
‘Crudity is the night-soil of wit’.
Western ‘conservatives’ wish only to conserve elite power and dominance, and the little conservatives’ relative privilege. Good God-they don’t even want to conserve the Earth’s habitability for our species if it threatens the return on capital of the fossil fuels Moloch.
The charade will be rigged, again, for crying out loud.
I wouldn’t call that a “fascist take.” Karl Marx had the same take on how the superstructure (culture, institutions, roles, rituals, religion, media, and state) is in service of the base (economy, mode of production).
Yes, this behavior is dictated from the top down and only reinforced horizontally. The real ruling class (which is not made up of these libtard kindergarten teachers and journos) defines the system of incentives that create the behavior. They dispense the carrots and the stick.
Marx thought it could be changed.
Fascists say power has its own logic regardless of ideology.
I’m not referring to this Yarvin fellow who is unknown to most.
My point is that the Leviathan state would still be evil even if there were no shadowy figures directing it.
It requires little in the way of WEF/NWO nudging for the credentialed midwits to do its bidding.
Correct. I would have thought that was self-evident to the sentient.
I see the point made by some about Hood/McIntyre avoiding the issue of the men behind the curtain.
It’s a valid point, and you may be right about their intentions (hasbara). I don’t know.
However, even though there are maybe 100 powerful families running our world, and a lot of very-motivated demonic Jews actively in the service of Jewish world domination, the rest of the analysis is of value.
We are being enslaved by our own failure to be a moral and social people – by nihilistic liberal materialism.
That is, we are being enslaved by our own kind on behalf of the Jewish supremacists.
There are not enough Jews in the world to enslave us; it requires a traitorous class, and a very numerous traitorous class, staffing Leviathan in all of our countries.
Once the Jews controlled the money, they controlled the machinery of state – credentialed midwits are their selfish, self-absorbed troops in the service of total world domination.
You write about conservatism failing to address the reality of race, and then you go on to do the same thing. The reality of race is nationalism, John. You can’t have this both ways. There is absolutely no way to “address the reality of race” outside of nationalism.
Racial realism does not require White nationalism.
Racial realism can and does exist outside of a White context. There are Asian countries where the majority accept the reality of race but take a practical approach. They are not White nationalists.
A racial realist but populist right can simply accept that libertarian and race-denial based solutions won’t work. Simply accepting that some inequality will naturally exist would be a huge improvement over the status quo. We are currently directing over 100 billion a year into programs that assume Bad Whites are creating inequality because race is superficial. Well that 100 million could be directed towards roads/schools/hospitals etc.
A racial realist country would also stop loading up Whites with guilt. We don’t currently load Blacks up with guilt over dominating the NBA and White kids do not need to be raised with guilt for being White. Our production would massively increase if White kids from an early age were given a realistic view of the world. They wouldn’t spend years in college and their 20s chasing a dream based on lies. Or worse trying to create a career around lies. I’ve seen the other side of clowntown and it is madness. Few know how many Whites behind the scenes are showing up to make the performance work…..and it doesn’t. Whites get caught in a reality trap where they find out it is lies but are too invested to quit. They get the education or social work degree and end up lying with everyone else. This is a 100 billion dollar false world where Whites in these cities know damn well that it isn’t true and continue to support it. Then there are the hundreds of billions in private funds that are spent on trying make this reality go away. In both public and private sectors the system rewards the deceitful and dishonest. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Racial realism was once the norm is US politics. In the 1910s no one in the House or Senate would have proposed spending half a trillion on trying to fix race. You’d be considered a madman. It was after WW2 that Whites in the US on both sides decided to take the position that race doesn’t exist. The American right is an alliance of Christian conservatives and amoral capitalists that do not want race to exist. They want it to go away in favor of Christian morals and minimal government. Well that hasn’t worked and their refusal to face this reality only favors the left. They are unable to truly counter the left through honest analysis of liberal dishonesty.
Here is an example I like to use that shows the problem:
Liberals: Look at this inequality in housing! Must be racism! Let’s spend 20 billion to fix it.
Conservatives: Well there could be other explanations….like……um…..er…they need minimal government…..um…let me quote Thomas Howell.
Liberals: So no real explanation which again shows that conservatives are amoral and have no solutions. They are racist stupidheads as they don’t care about this inequality. Case closed.
Liberals have mastered this narrative in the colleges. Conservatives have no viable counter because their ideology is built around servicing the same lie but for different reasons. Their strategy is not only a failure against the left but they end up serving the left as ideal competition as there is an unspoken agreement to never reveal the dark truth.
You can always tell a fed or someone who might as well be since they’re on the same team.
Breeders against abortion ha ha ha! lisp
(USA first – WTF?) Taking a handle redolent of the Romanian Jew fag is a dead giveaway.
Abortion, Sodomy and Jews first is what “USA first” means in the present circumstance.
White Christian civilization, in America and Europe, that is what we aim to preserve and rebuild. WITHOUT THOSE PEOPLE HAVING ANY SAY WHATSOEVER.
“Why do genes set sexual orientation, but in-group preference is “racist”? ”
ohh nonsense,
for years whites, sincethe time of Dr. Freud and some would say even as far back as ancient history of the greeks or perhaps, asian philosophies: buhdism, confusciem, etc . . . Dr. Kinsey’s deeply flawed analaysis regarding the same . . .
I have no idea why you are dragging “racism” into this mess. There is no link between the traditional understanding of “racism”
power structures of whites and how they employ them to the understanding of gender fuidity game playing.
What is this absolute sht?
(((yarvin))) and auron (most likely) are jews.
Yarvin is for sure a jew, and Auron is a hebe name. Why the fk do we need “more” jew/firster israel firsters subverting the alt right?
Aren’t pragerberg and shapiro and laura loomer enough?
Why can’t these jews all just piss off and live in israel? It’s like they have a pathological need to subvert and control everything in Europe and the Anglosphere. They don’t subvert sub saharan africa or east asia. Why must they plague us White gentiles?
Why can’t they just leave us non jews alone? jews have their own country now….why must they insist on subverting everything for their interests in our nations?
Are these Latinos who have married into your family White, or mestizo? If the former, you can count on the future generations of your family looking White. If the latter, well, unfortunately, you’re going to have some light brown in the family. Sorry about that, I know it wasn’t your choice.
Once you deal with that little glitch, and get anti-corporate, then you’ve got something. Forget the intellectuals and their obscure justifications of corporations doing absolutely anything they want. Just go anti-corporation and you’re on the right path.
With what would you replace corporations? Please tell us.
Just limit their size, ban ALL corporate ‘lobbying’ and political contributions aka bribery, break up the MSM oligopolies, ban ALL mass media advertising psychological manipulation, tax the buggers heavily, with NO exemptions etc. Limit personal wealth and income to, say, ten times the median, reducing over the years to five or so times. In other words, equalise society and ‘market power’ and do not reward greed. Let small and medium enterprises do most production, with larger complexes for technically difficult work. Supply and demand works well enough, so long as monopolies and oligopolies are not allowed to control society.
Are you Homo or some other hominid type?

..but a necessary one, I hope you’ll agree.
Some conservatives, such as me, became “conservative” in order to preserve the cultural traditions I once thought I could take for granted.
I haven’t studied the other proposals you listed to say if I completely agree with them all, or not, but man, that one right there is “job one”!
No, they’re Yellow nationalists.
You’re too hung up on the White part. All nationalism in a White country will be White nationalism, by default, as nationalism is a political expression of ethnicity.
“White nationalism” is the language of the left. Attaching the word White to it makes it double plus ungood.
They have no viable counter because they don’t have the training and ability to recognize and counter logical fallacies, upon which the entire liberal narrative is built. The other problem is they, like you, accept the liberal narrative as a given and communicate within the boundaries it creates (White nationalism).
We’re never going to “win arguments” with people who reached their conclusions through emotional rather than logical means. These problems aren’t going to be solved in debate.
I suspect @ Ace was being sarcastic?
It seems to me that no one is as pessimistic as I am. I see all of us Gentiles, as the result of dysgenics, being nothing more than individual dysfunctional and relatively Retarded economic units, wandering around blindly and without any ability to understand anything of consequence, or to even care about wanting to be able to understand things of consequence. I live in USA, and all the people around me are content with what they see as their purpose to life, which is to just enjoy recreational activities. European-Americans seem to be divided into two groups – the relatively less Retarded ones with IQs of 120 or higher who see life as an individually based Darwinian Struggle where each person struggles for individual wealth acquisition. They study hard in school to outperform their fellow European classmates so they can ensure a place in a prestigious university. They are all into furthering their careers. It’s all about individual success – Individual Selection. Then you have the remaining Europeans with IQs under 120, and they are, as I understand it, like the character Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Peter Griffin is a Genetic Sociopath who constantly steals and engages in public vandalism, and only displays Altruism for his wife and offspring. And he is Christian in the show, but a Christianity that is completely re-written to follow an Individually Selected evolutionary model. Just like contemporary Christianity among Europeans, Peter Griffin practices a Christianity where all he is required to do to get into Heaven is simply accept Jesus Christ as his G-d, and as long as he does this, he is permitted to be highly sociopathic on Earth – he can steal, vandalize, go to strip clubs and watch pornography, lie, be lazy, assault people, not be concerned about the well-being of his race or countrymen as a whole, etc. Thus, Peter Griffin represents most Europeans in the real world.
And Europeans are 100% genetically incapable of not only perceiving what the Ashkenazim are doing, but even incapable of taking any consequential actions against all the detrimental policies being carried out by the Ashkenazim and their Gentile elite allies. Lots of detrimental things going on right now:
– World economy is being greatly impeded in order to reduce Gentile economic consumption because it is leading to global warming which is making the nation of Israel too hot since Israel is already near the equator.
– Millions of non-Europeans entering the West every year
– Constant wars to further Ashkenazi ethnic interests
-Etc. No need for me to make a huge list here, since everyone here probably knows all about the detrimental policies just by reading Occidental Observer, Unz Review, American Renaissance, and Mankind Quarterly. And every ethnic European is either oblivious, or passive, or too genetically Retarded and/or Sociopathic to know what to do about it. 100% pure genetic dysfunctionality. It’s over.
Nationalize the big ones, like all the tech ones, google amazon etc, because they’re just privately owned public utilities anyway.
No, they’re Yellow nationalists.
What does that mean? They think their ethic group is the best? Well there are multi-ethnic Asian countries that are racial realist. I can name no less than a dozen countries that are multi-racial and yet haven’t adopted the liberal belief that they should bring in millions of third worlders.
You’re too hung up on the White part. All nationalism in a White country will be White nationalism, by default, as nationalism is a political expression of ethnicity.
America is about 60% White.
I don’t consider nationalism to be inherently ethno-centric or required to have a majority ethnic identity.
Nationalism means putting the nation first. You can have a multi-ethnic country that is nationalistic. Russia would be one such example. They people are very pro-Russian but they are multi-racial and multi-religious.
They have no viable counter because they don’t have the training and ability to recognize and counter logical fallacies, upon which the entire liberal narrative is built. The other problem is they, like you, accept the liberal narrative as a given and communicate within the boundaries it creates (White nationalism).
LOL I accept the liberal narrative? Which one exactly?
I don’t believe in White nationalism. Every White nationalist organization supports sending home the Mexicans. Who is going to pick the crops? You? I’m a realist and I don’t know a single White person that would pick crops for $20 an hour. I think White nationalists like Anglin are full of shit and don’t understand economics. They sure as hell have never lived in middle America where you see how many Mexicans do the dirty jobs. I didn’t let them in but they are here and we don’t have enough Anglins to do their jobs. That is the way it is.
The other problem is that I have been around too many White people to believe in White nationalism.
I used to live in the city and I stopped trying to help out White men that looked down on their luck. They were all FULL OF SHIT just like my White authorities when I was growing up. The best Whites are in the middle and not trying to control everyone. But there aren’t enough of them. We have too many control freaks and loser Whites that drag down the middle.
If you want to promote White nationalism then go ahead. I don’t buy into it as I concluded years ago that most White men will happily lie about reality if they can push themselves above other Whites. Both the liberal and the conservative Christian want to control the Whites that are around them. They don’t want to help working Whites that need it. They don’t believe that the masses should be allowed to think for themselves. I used to spend time around a conservative activist and he would fully admit behind closed doors that they have to lie about race. His main explanation was that CNN would think they are racist if they told the truth. I really had to keep myself from laughing. WE HAVE TO LIE FOR OUR IMAGE IN A LIBERAL WORLD. Yea really going to take down those liberals by submitting to their rules. Anyways that strategy has f-cking failed but our Con Inc leaders believe in lying. Lie lie lie….where does it end? What is the point in lying if liberals ultimately win?
Do whatever you want but I will call bullshit where I see it. I am anti-liberal but that doesn’t mean I support White nationalism or Christian race denial conservatism. I don’t have to join any of these groups. They’re all full of shit and you know it.
Then you’re quite simply ignorant, because nationalism is first and foremost a political expression of ethnicity.
The Latin word natio has multiple meanings:
Nation: A large group of people who share a common language, culture, and history
Group of students: A group of students who come from the same country or region and study together
Native place: A person’s native place, which is where they were born or grew up
Birth: The birth of a child
Goddess of birth: A goddess of birth
Race: A class of people
Tribe: A synonym for natio
Homeland: A synonym for natio
Things born together: A group of people or a species of animal
Every single one of these things implies a common birth or origin. The meaning of nation is unequivocal. There’s really no sense in continuing this discussion if you can’t admit that you don’t comprehend the essence of nationalism.
Huh. So the Libertardians are starting to grasp that NRx was not their best idea ever?
Yes every article should just be “It’s the jews” over and over again.
It’s like a magical mantra. Look into the mirror and repeat “It’s the jews” 3 times and then everything will be fixed.
America, the Establishment anyways, is responsible for the murder of 60 million babies. Beyond that fact, there are very few facts that are of any importance.
A: “There are not enough Jews in the world to enslave us; it requires a traitorous class.”
B: “… avoiding the issue of the men behind the curtain [Jews] … is a valid point.”
I don’t see how B follows from A.
Because we have traitors, we can’t talk about Jews?
How do we make sense of their treason if we don’t talk about Jews?
“A racial realist country would also stop loading up whites with guilt.”
It would also expel all nonwhites.
Racial realism means one race only. Otherwise, it’s just cheap talk, and totally unworkable in a multiracial context.
Hasbara out in force today.
Reuben Gadd: ” … comedic cast of boilerplate antisemites …”
Some Dude: ” … 100% agree.”
Roger: “It is always and forever ‘the Jew’, a continuous finger-pointing exercise.”
Cal Coolidge: ” … any anti-Jewish rhetoric is immediately radioactive …”
Godly8: “Yes, every article should just be ‘It’s the Jews’ over and over again … repeat ‘It’s the Jews’ 3 times and then everything will be fine.”
Whistling past the oven …
” … Human identity (?), insists Mr. MacIntyre, does not come from a set of rights but from limitations (such as?). It is shaped ‘far more dramatically by what the individual is not (?) than what he is free to become.’ (?) This is critical because the essential tenet of modern liberalism is that identity is invented (could you elaborate?). While the state promises to liberate man from unchosen social bonds (which men? which bonds? who chooses to be bound?), it actually unmasks him (meaning?). This includes what Sam Francis called the ‘dematerialization (huh?) of property and the replacement of the entrepreneurial firm as the dominant form of economic organization by the mass corporations and unions under managerial control.’ In other words, (really? more words on this?) the political forms (?) and abstractions (?) so beloved by conservatives and libertarians arise from distinctive material and social circumstances (you don’t say!). Without them (namely ‘hard property (?) and independent ownership’), those political forms cease to exist (poof!). Many conservatives will resist this conclusion, which may seem Marxist, that ideology grows out of material circumstances (what else could it grow out of?).”
Okay, Teach, can we talk about Jews now?
Anarchyst,
I am very sorry that your “experience” with unions was not a very pleasant one. In my 40+ years of working as an industrial electrician, I have also worked in union facilities. My experiences were, for the most part, neither good nor bad.
I have done a LOT of reading and research on the subjects of unions and the REAL labor history here in the United States. I will be the first to admit that some unions were filled with corruption and had dealings with Organized Crime.
Being a former member of the United Auto Workers union (the UAW), I have done a lot of reading and research on that union’s history throughout the years. It is quite true that Walter Reuther and his brother, Victor, spent time in Russia and worked there for a short time. From his experience, he became disillusioned with Communism.
While Walter Reuther was president of the UAW, there was ZERO corruption in that union. He was respected by the management of the “Big Three” automakers, because they knew that he kept his word and that he dealt equitably with the auto manufacturers. Reuther was not just for the union workers; he was for ALL American workers – union and non-union. He had many progressive ideas that if they had been allowed to come into fruition, the United States would have become a much better country for all of its workers.
The only thing that I could find fault with Reuther was his support of Johnson’s war in Viet Nam. But I think that he later saw the folly in that war.
Walter Reuther lost his life in a plane crash – the second plane crash that he was in, in less than a year’s time. “They” wanted Reuther “out of the way,” just as “they” wanted James Hoffa “out of the way.”
The UAW has since been plagued with corruption. Many of its officers have been given prison sentences. Some might still be under indictment; I don’t know for sure.
We both know that there has been a lot of corruption in various unions over the years. I will be the first to admit to that. But I also believe that if it were not for the fact that American companies and corporations have treated their workers less than honorably and equitably, there would have been no need for unions in the first place. The American workers have the unions to thank for paid vacations, medical and hospitalization benefits, profit-sharing programs and many other benefits.
As an American, I have very few people that I consider to be my heroes – Henry Ford, George Westinghouse, Walter Reuther, James Hoffa and Ralph Nader.
Thank you.

No that is your own personal definition.
Nationalism, ideology based on the premise that the individual’s loyalty and devotion to the nation-state surpass other individual or group interests.

Every single one of these things implies a common birth or origin. The meaning of nation is unequivocal. There’s really no sense in continuing this discussion if you can’t admit that you don’t comprehend the essence of nationalism.
A multi-racial nation can be one where all ethnic groups were born in the country.
You are saying that multi-racial African or Asian countries can’t be nationalistic? The Ottoman empire was multi-racial and multi-religious. But they weren’t nationalistic?
The only thing I part company with you is your admiration of Ralph Nader.
Nader was no more than a typical “ambulance chaser” lawyer who maligned a decent car, the Corvair because of its handling characteristics. Most people are unaware that Nader never drove a car, never possessing a driver’s license.
All rear-engine, rear driven cars have unique handling characteristics that take some time to get “used to”.
Just as in the Ford Explorer debacle, tire pressure was critical in preserving the handling characteristics of the Corvair.
When Ford Explorer owners complained about the “rough ride”, the dealers recommended reducing tire pressures–a big mistake. Reducing tire pressure softened the ride while reducing tire life dramatically, causing “blowouts” and loss of vehicle control.
GM did “screw up”, tarnishing its image big time by investigating Nader.
Let me add two of my favorites to the list: Father Charles Coughlin and Charles Lindbergh. Both of them spoke out about where the real “problems” were (and still are) and were totally vilified for speaking the TRUTH. In the case of Father Coughlin, the Catholic Church was “paid off” by “you know who” while the government went after Charles Lindbergh for exposing the TRUTH about the futility of entering WW2.
Regards,
Thanks for the reply. I grew up with Chevrolet Corvairs, as well as Nash Metropolitans! Ha!
OK on your views about Ralph Nader, but I still think that he has done a lot of good for the American public.
Also, OK on Father Charles Coughlin and Charles Lindberg; I believe that they were 100% on the mark, as well as Senator Joseph McCarthy. During McCarthy’s fight against Communists, the government WAS infected with them, as I believe that they still are.
Take care…
