(By Eli Harman) In truth, all *three* of the principal western political orientations are profoundly and fundamentally individualistic. Leftism is individualism for those with instantaneous time horizons. Food and shelter and medicine and college and debt forgiveness and status and orgasms for ME, right now, regardless of the costs to others or to society or to my future self.

All Three Political Orientations are Individualistic (Really).
Libertarianism is individualism for those with intermediate time horizons, who recognize some of the incentives and conditions necessary for engaging in production and exchange: so all of that *through* and *because* of property rights and markets over so many years as may be necessary to organize their production, without regard to the costs to tradition, culture, extended family, (ethnicity) commons or future generations. Rightism is individualism for people with very long time horizons, who recognize the full spectrum of conditions and incentives necessary to engage in production and exchange not just NOW, but for generations to come. So all of that for ME AND MINE, securely, now and for the future, by drawing on the hard won, evolutionary-gleaned wisdom of the past, and maintaining the various commons (things like public decency, good order, and common defense) that give us our competitive advantages over others who do not share our values or have our best interests at heart. -
Hating the Aristocracy Isn’t Novel
THE REASON THEY ALL DESIRE WHITE GENOCIDE IS THAT WE ARE THE ARISTOCRACY AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. Without us they can return to Levantine degeneracy. Man prefers to be an animal, and we force his transcendence into gods against his will.
We must understand our achievement and revel in it. And return to it. -

Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom, Consumption
SOVEREIGNTY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM, CONSUMPTION Sovereignty is the necessary objective. (Aristocratic Class) Liberty is the existential condition. (Bourgeoise Class) Freedom is the felt experience. (Working Class) Consumption is desired equivalent ( Dependent Class )Michael Churchill: Poor man wanna be rich / Rich man wanna be king / and a king ain’t satisfied with anything. As Mario Puzo said, the consolation of old age is power. But today it seems people get to old age with lots of wealth and no power. Perhaps they did not imagine well enough. -

(with Eli)
Ridiculing the left is certainly more entertaining that trying to debate people who simply lie, rally, and shame.
What did you think? That we would preserve our aristocratic devotion to martial epistemology in our speech no matter what you did? No. The alt-right has ADOPTED cultural marxism (frankfurt school aesthetic criticism of aristocratic eugenic society.)
