  • LIBERTARIAN AND CONSERVATIVE CRITICS OF THE ALT RIGHT AND NEW RIGHT The evidence

    http://www.scifiwright.com/2017/07/doctor-of-common-sense-and-zo/FOR LIBERTARIAN AND CONSERVATIVE CRITICS OF THE ALT RIGHT AND NEW RIGHT

    The evidence of the failure of libertarianism and conservatism is provided by the fact that conservatives have ONLY produced moral literature of moral equivocation and naturalistic fallacy, and NEVER produced a rational, or ratio-scientific literature with which to defend themselves against Abrahamism and Platonism in the ancient world (judaism/christianity/islam), or Abrahamism in the modern world (classical liberal equalitarianism(Middle Class), Feminism(Women), Marxism(Labor), or Postmodern Identitarianism(Slaves)) – or against the methods of argument used in deceitful discourse (Pseudo-Myth(Supernaturalism), Pseudo-Rationalism(Platonic Idealism, Postmodern Lit.), and Pseudo-Science (Boazianism, Marxism, Freudianism,Cantorianism).

    The Alt Right has adopted the techniques of the marxists and postmodernists which is to abandon reason and merely propagandize, rally, shame ridicule, silence by volume, poisoning any discourse it can intrude upon in order to hindre emotional momentum, and directly engaging in opposition violence when possible, and to defeat the left when possible by letting the left demonstrate their character.

    The New Right (Myself) has abandoned the classical liberal project, the presumption of hopefulness that political bias is other than expression of individual and group evolutionary strategy: a proxy for war. And that any further debate is futile, and that only violence to bring about the restoration of the traditional compromises between the genders and classes – and if not possible, return to the subjugation of female genders and under classes. But that the status quo or the left’s further conquest of the west (for the second time) is not tolerable – even less tolerable than civil war.

    Now like any movement there are a tiny number of thought leaders, a small number of ideological leaders, a large number of agitators, communicators, and propagandists, and even larger numbers of sympathizers and advocates, and the main body of interested but uncommitted followers. As one would expect, the right does not consolidate into a single equalitarian body (as do females), but separates into tribes (as do males) using their own sentiments, language, arguments, and leaders. Right and men seek hunting packs with similar but specific agendas designed for rapid change, not a herd (and women and underclasses) with a loose directional agenda of incremental but continuous improvement.

    On the alt right, (although they dislike this analysis intensely), it is fairly clear that the tribes have organized around class lines (and rougnly IQ) and method of argument that *reflects their social competency*. And that evidence appears as the the nat-soc(threats), green-frogs(antagonism), masculinists and rationalists (resistance), classical liberals and traditionalists (active opposition), various scientists HBD, RR, etc (refutation), Rule of Law/philosophers(Solution Definition), Traditionalists (wishful thinkers – historical escapists), literary occultists like evola, nietzsche ( literary escapists / shamers), and techo-libertarians (tech escapists), new-age/pseudoscientists (conspiracy theorists and pseudoscience escapists).

    My opinion, as someone who has seen this transition (cycle) coming, and worked on it for many years, is that for the tribes of men to unite, those men need (a) a moral license, (b) a solution to demand (c) a plan of transition to the new solution (d) a strategy, tactics, and leadership by which to raise the cost of the status quo, until the demanded solution or a compromise is met. In other words, men need an objective to fight for using the methods of conflcit that they know how to employ. And our job is to succeed where the conservatives in ALL THEIR ITERATIONS since Burke first launched his criticism, have FAILED TO PRODUCE.

    We are in a cold civil war. That civil war can turn hot at any moment. I expect it to. The question is, who has that solution?

    Or rather, who ELSE has that solution?

    REFORM LIBERTARIANISM ONE BRICK AT A TIME: FROM FEBRUARY 2012 – BY IMITATING LEW ROCKWELL: VOLUMINOUS CRITICISM

    (snip)

    Languages are necessary in order to articulate political preferences. Political preferences are the result of metaphysical value judgements. Value judgements are social strategies.

    The Libertarians have developed a language for universal political speech. Unfortunately, that language is grounded in a moralistic assumption about the very nature, cause and necessity of ethics.

    One brick at a time, one day at a time, I’m trying to reform the libertarian language into aristocratic language, so that conservative sentiments, values, and social strategy can be articulated in the public debate — so that we may conduct a battle of social models against encroaching totalitarianism brought about by Shumpeterian intellectuals.

    OPEN LETTER TO THE COUNTER-REVOLUTION

    A beautiful movement. I have not seen it done better. I wish I could ‘fit into’ it. Because I am a committed monarchist.

    But the church has abandoned europe in favor of the revenues of the simple people of warmer regions it evolved to govern. And our people have abandoned the church in favor of its secular expression and democratic government.

    I see no evidence of possibility for a restoration of the church, if for no other reason than the church is unwilling to reform. But more importantly, western man has evolved to the point where he can control every aspect of nature that the church claimed god held providence over.

    So just as the cult of jesus was a heresy against the roman empire’s religion, and against the bible of the european ancient world: The Iliad: the tragedy of Achilles, and just as one of your authors has correctly stated, the American Revolution and its cult of individualism was a heresy driven only by the Colonist’s attempt to circumvent payment to the crown for the cost of the indian wars. The crown’s folly was in not adding the colonies to the houses of commons, or creating a separate house of the colonies. The colonists did not want to separate. (other than the foolishly overcommitted puritans from whom I am ashamedly descended).

    There exists a growing movement that has not yet self identified itself, that seeks to restore the myths and traditions of the church by combining christian mythos, stoic virtues and discipline, using what we have discovered from cognitive science and in particular personality traits, in combination with literary analysis and myth, including the Monomyth, the Archetypes, the Plots(Trials), and the Virtues. And instead submission to deity few believe in as other than a set of general rules of the universe, and submissive prayer an anthropomorphic character, these groups are reviving a combination the methods of the most scientific religion of the ancient world (stoicism), and the teachings of christianity, to produce an empowering rather than submissive ‘religion’.

    This technique would allow the presentation of christianity as science rather than superstition. And my estimation is that it is the most likely if not only method of providing the reformation of the catholic church that failed under Vatican II, and was never attempted by the protestant churches other than the development of american evangelical protestantism. The catholic church doubled down on ‘living as did christ’. Evangelical protestantism doubled down on fundamentalism. But while these churches are surviving in the third world among the poor and ignorant, for europeans these churches are both dead – and worse, they are poisoned for the many crimes of the church over the centuries.

    So I do not expect to achieve anything other than making you aware of what I see as a successful option that has begun to take on momentum. And for you to consider it an option to investigate. The man working on the process is Dr. Jordan Peterson. But no one is working on reforming christianity to make it transform from a superstiiton to a science. And if any group can do this it will restore the value of the church.

    (genius)

    by Bill Joslin

    The left and the libertarians, by denying the legitimacy or even presence of sovereignty in the equation, demonstrate the inability to maintain responsible use of liberty. The result being a decay of agency across the whole (lies, inability to hold a territory, inconsistent – incoherent application of law etc)

    I have been expressing this as changes in capital, but Bill Joslin has stated ***AGENCY AS CAPITAL***.

    The market for the choice between violence, reciprocity, and boycott.

    “Every man is his own legislature”

    in other words, just as international law is governed by reciprocity today, individuals can govern one another by reciprocity in the market for the choice between violence, reciprocity, and boycott.

    They must just produce commons sufficient to defend themselves from the market of others who would institute a different order other than the sovereign.

    True. That’s what it evolved to suggest.
