04:55 had a such a hearty laugh over that comment
All I want for Christmas is Colin Flaherty’s two books to be republished.
Matt Gaetz is in fact married to Ginger Lucky, whose brother Palmer is the founder of Oculus VR as well as Anduril Industries (a Thiel-backed defense contractor)
RE: 50:41
fyi – This was an amusing discovery:
An Edison Research exit poll showed that the Native American vote was about 65% in Trump’s favor nationwide. So, Amerindians were “most MAGA” of all American groups in 2024. They were voting *economy* first, & were unphased by liberal indoctrination.

Also, married White women went for Trump, as did ALL married American women.
(The solution: White men need to court & convert the minds of their White sweethearts.)

So, Amerindians were “most MAGA” of all American groups in 2024.
Not surprising. I figure they can see through establishment talking points about the “theft of their land” as nothing more than self-serving propaganda. Immigration doesn’t help them.
Also, married White women went for Trump, as did ALL married American women.

I’m sure that would help, but I suspect that unmarried women would convert themselves if they got married, because their interests would change. I suspect their alignment with Democrats has to do with their interest in the welfare state, broadly speaking. They shouldn’t have to choose. We know from previous polling that married people are no more pro-White than married ones.
James Edwards hit the nail on the head when he pointed out that 80% of White women in Alabama voted for Trump. What else can you say, really? So much for “female nature.” That completely vindicates metapolitical approach all by itself. In politics, it’s culture, culture, and culture.
Why Mr. Edwards persists in attacking women’s suffrage, despite the fact that he clearly understands the truth, is not clear, though I suspect it has something to do with pandering to donors, which is understandable, of course, and/or fending off hate from the misogynist peanut gallery. Whatever. If he wants to agree with their conclusions while he highlights facts that totally demolish their premises, I’ll take it.
By the way, Alabama is arguably the most Christian state in the Union. The only possible exception is Mormon Utah, where residents are slightly more likely to report weekly attendance at religious services, but considerably less likely to report occasional attendance.

That’s an interesting chart. I would not have guessed that church attendance was that high these days. So many churchgoers have given up as many churches have jumped on the gay glorification bandwagon.
“We know from previous polling that married people are no more pro-White than married ones.”
To my mind, the key purpose of getting married is to raise kids, so I’d be most curious about whether or not married White *parents* are much more pro-White than simply White married couples.
Great panel discussion as usual! I think the reason creativity is going down is that education level is going down, particularly verbal education. Kids are no longer reading great books and studying the history of our race. Math is stronger than ever, but verbal education, level of literature, etc. has tanked. Math and technical subjects teach kids to be good workers, good cogs in a machine, but do nothing for the soul. The oligarchs want a population with low education and verbal iq so they can’t be criticized. If everything is dumbed down and low iq, there can be no natural separation of the races based on iq predilections.
A group needs cultural reference points in order to have unity and power. Christianity and classical culture can serve in this way. That is what young people are being deprived of, unless it’s trivial like Batman or something.
The overstimulation theory that cyan quin propounded was interesting, however. Even adults get mesmerized in endless ticktocks though.
I believe we’ve reached an endpoint of modernism, where it feels like everything’s been done already. It feels naff, like if you saw someone unironically wearing 70s flares. You’d think, “really? That again? But we saw that come in and out of fashion already.”
This is the attitude I see from those born after c.2000 – a cynical attitude. Everything is cringey in some way. In terms of architecture, political arguments, fashions, pop culture. It feels recycled and is hard to get enthusiastic about.
The reason has to be the Internet. The Internet was still novel in the 2000s but by the 2010s it saturated the mind. Now we have a situation where things don’t ever seem out of fashion. A youngster now could as easily be into Led Zeppelin and hippie styling (whether ironically or not) as they could be into standard Zoomie culture. And that’s a thing from 50+ years ago. But due to eg Spotify, Led Zep are just another artist on an endless roster that includes, er, all of them, ever.
This makes us in a position of standing on the shoulder of giants and we observe it in hindsight as an occurred event and not viewing it as a train passenger watches the landscape go by and live in that time, seeing it as an occurring event, which was how we used to live – it was unavoidable not to.
So the Internet has sucked all the creativity out of the world as David Byrne of talking heads said in 2013. I don’t know what we can really do about this, the cat’s out the bag. Reduce screen time obviously, but it’s an uphill struggle.
I certainly believe children should not be using the Internet, certainly not til they’re teens. As for grown ups, I can’t say much because my screen time is really high. It doesn’t help that most of my browsing is of our political sphere and its content, which is forced to retreat to an online ghetto. If our ideas were mainstream and there were meetings I’d go to them but it’s all online for now.
I’m also of the belief that the 2008 Recession had a profound impact on the world, and this culture dearth is one of those symptoms. I don’t think 2008 ever ended or was ever remedied. Maybe if the economy was restructured, so that eg 20somethings could get houses and families and cars affordably, that might help. I don’t know really.
“My choice, my body”
In other words, slavery. This kind of bufoonery cannot be allowed to define right-wing Twitter. I also think there is a place for shock jocking to shatter taboos and get people talking, but you can’t get away with attacking the Categorical Imperative unless you’re really funny, like, Jim Goad funny.
I also quite agree with Greg that “my body, my choice” is a terrible, question-begging slogan, precisely because there is another body in the picture. On the other hand, I don’t think the presence of another body is dispositive, either, though I don’t want to get into it here. All I want to say here is that politics by soundbite is one of the very unfortunate features of contemporary political discourse, if you can even call it that. One of the good things about the old legacy media was that you could reasonably expect at least some of your neighbors to have watched the last episode of 60 Minutes and to be capable of discussing the issues in some depth. Like character-based government personnel decision-making, that is just another one of the nice things we can’t have because of national disintegration.
Of Bimbos
A question for Cyan: what does Devlin have to do with bimbos? I think I know, but I don’t want to misconstrue and attack a straw man.
The Dignity of Manual Labor
Another casualty of WWII, and the unfortunate triumph of Anglo status-obsessed individualism over Continental fraternity and (relative) egalitarianism. This issue doesn’t get nearly enough attention in our circles as an enabler of national subversion. I say this with some trepidation, as I make it a point to seek unity over division, but I think it’s fair to say that honest Anglos recognize this problem and some of our greatest literature acknowledges and seeks to remedy it. And we can do better. Australians, at least until recently, managed to shake off this bourgeois mentality while continuing to embrace their Anglo identity, no problem.
Do White women see sex more than race?
Is it true that White women were surprised by the racial loyalty of black women in the OJ affair? I know Marcia Clark did, but I’m not sure about anyone else. What I do know is that 2025 card-carrying feminists in good standing definitely don’t see sex more than race. They hardly see sex at all anymore. With one stroke of the intersectional pen, anti-White racial agitation became a feminist duty. I have noticed this commandeering of the women’s movement recently in regard to the history of Witch Hunts. There are attempts to retcon them as xenophobic attacks on minorities (Sami, Red Indians, black people, etc.) or “social cleansing” or some such. If this carries on, White women will be completely written out of the history of Witch hunts a couple of decades hence. Multiculturalism is a jealous god.
