Greg, thank you for this talk.
Your presentations are consistently lucid and logical and give me great hope for a future white homeland. I’m a boomer and often downcast about the current state of affairs, but I still take heart in being a crank and a part of the snowball crashing down the alpine snowbank…
Thank you. Be of good cheer. Actually we got beyond the few harmless flakes stage about a decade ago. Now things are snowballing. Remember in 2016 when libtards were freaking out about the Alt Right? Well, to the extent our audience is indicative of the movement as a whole, we have more than four times the readership we had in 2016 and more than five times the donations coming in as of the end of 2023.
Great speech, Greg. I enjoyed listening to it. I certainly agree that rotten institutions are bound to collapse sooner or later, and America is rotten to the core. In a sane world, with your intelligence, knowledge, and lucid style, you would be an esteemed philosophy professor at a prestigious university, imparting the wisdom of Western philosophy to the next generation of white men.
Just began listening, but wanted to say thank-you, thank-you for everything that you do!
To the question “Will America survive to 20240?” My answer is, “I certainly hope not”.
I view America as an anti-White abomination, a blight, in all areas of life. Be it labor, law, education, economics, entertainment etc. White life has been reduced, to subsist in cycles of abuse. Abuse economically, demographically, physically, genetically, but firstly psychologically.
Not to be an alarmist, but this monstrosity is an existential threat to White life, not just within in its own borders, but globally.
As long as the United States of America exists as a Liberal, democratic, anti-“racist”, egalitarian, nominally Christian i.e. Utopian multi-racialist, and radically individualistic, economic project. We will have no future here.
America as constituted; is socio-politically and “philosophically” oriented towards White degradation and will remain so, until it, its institutions, and so called “culture” are destroyed, or a percentage of Whites separate.
Now back to the video.
There is no vacuum in the nature. Empty space of the US as a “superpower” another “superpower” will get, and we all know which is it. The globalist elites now are abandoning the US as “superpower” and “world cop”. This role another country will play, and, when we remember Tibetans, Uyghurs, Qazaqs and another peoples, I do no think it will be better for the world.
Well said. It is another Rome which was also a disaster for many of the White peoples of Europe. A multi-racial monster conquering, destroying, and miscegenating whole nations.
You can tell how in tune Greg Johnson is with the fashionable, high status entertainment industry culture of recreational drug abuse. Greg Johnson isn’t making the mistake that comedians and Hollywood people do, of forgetting that not everybody in the audience is like them, a depraved addict who spends lots of time thinking about the correct terminology and the tropes of addictive drug use and other repugnant vices.
I am not sure how to interpret this.
I had to think about that comment too, but believe it refers to when you were dubious about the particularities of administering crack.
That’s right. I thought it was funny that this garbage is obviously not part of Greg Johnson’s life, nor is it part of the life of anyone he cares about.
This is the only philosopher who openly cares about the fact that our race is being made extinct by policy and who thinks we should oppose that, and therefore the only philosopher whose conduct can be called “wise” in that it is calm and correct in relation to a fundamental and highly relevant issue. Focusing on what really matters, as a lover of wisdom would, the philosopher doesn’t have time to wreck his brain with drugs.
Meanwhile we have celebrity “influencers” who are supposedly “relevant,” “in with the in-crowd,” and “in the know” because they wallow in fashionable vices and are given mass media megaphones.
We live in a society with wrong, absurd, and outright funny ideas on who’s smart and worth listening to, and what gaps in your knowledge disqualify you from that status.
If it’s not funny to you it’s not funny to you, but I thought it was laugh-out-loud funny.
It is ironically funny, yes.
I too have been alienated from mass culture, and always have been. With the remnants of the older order still eroding, CC is one of the few places serving as a repository to celebrate what is receding but could reawaken.
Some of my favourite podcasts are when Dr. Johnson confers with Mark Gullick or F. Roger Devlin, fellow philosophers. I encourage you to read Mark Gullick’s Unmourned Funeral, especially the first chapter.
Cheers.
Excellent and insightful talk. I have to give a bit of constructive criticism though… I get the analogy of the snowflakes rolling down hill gathering into a mighty snowball and eventual avalanche, just not sure referring to us as “flakes” is the best way to express this idea. Gotta be a a similar idea that gets the same point across without us being snowflakes.
I think a certain amount of candor is necessary and it can be disarming.
I enjoyed the recording but would have liked to have heard the Q&A session if there was one.
It was fairly brief.
Mark Weber’s IHR is an excellent organization and doing such important work. I have learned much, much more about history there than in the entirety of my years in the public education system. Added to that is the farce of so much of the population getting their information about history from movies and television series!
The speech by Dr. Johnson is thoughtful and realistic; and even given the dire circumstances that inspired the topic of his speech, Greg gives a message that is positive and even inspiring. And I really liked the part about not trying to take our luggage with us after we survive this fiery plane crash — very effective imagery!
P.S. Can’t wait to check out the “demotivators” 🙂
