This is why I think of myself as both a neoreactionary and a right revolutionary, they aren’t opposites at all rather they’re synergistic and actually necessary for one another.
Neoreaction is at its heart the recognition, mourning of, and ultimately a plan for the restoration of a lost future. It’s about triangulating where we could have been without the malign influence of the cluster of intellectual cancers that have been slowly withering down our collective will to live and will to power, and then grabbing the steering wheel and jerking it as hard as possible in that direction.
There’s no going back. If you’re fifty years old and unsatisfied with your shitty life, there’s no use trying to be young again. It’s actually pathetic to even try, we collectively recognize people doing that as living in deep denial. But it’s not too late; through honest introspection you can identify your mistakes, begin to heal and learn to love life again.
I’m not even remotely interested in indulging classical liberal’s collective midlife crisis.

I almost don’t want to correct it, it’s too good.
It would have been better if I misspelled it DeBoor drum roll
There was a researcher from the mid twentieth century whose name I forgot said this is basically supported by the psychological research.
Being the top or bottom is more than a preference, they’re really more like two separate sexualities in which very few people naturally gravitate towards both.
Tops are much more likely to be bisexual using modern terminology.
I understand the objection to “gay” as a label in this context, although I have no dog in this fight. People also use the term “gay” to essentially bind extremely disparate people whose behaviors vary wildly into one essentialist unit of cultural and political valence, which I imagine some “Men who have sex with men” would object to.
I’m sympathetic to this because I suffer from a mental disorder but I find attempts at building cultural and political solidarity amongst people who suffer from my disorder or a cluster of related ones to be absolutely abhorrent; I’m not a member of a “community” with proscribed political and economic interests, I’m just someone with a fucked up brain.
This is one of the few things Freddie deboar gets 100% right.
I think basically how we moderns think about identity is fundamentally harmful and stupid, getting in the way of understanding behavior which is the real interesting and functional bit with regards to how individuals interact with society writ large.

This is exactly why “you can just do things.” Is such a powerful meme / rallying cry at the moment. It’s funny but also 100% true; you can just do things.

I general have mixed to negative feelings about trace, but this is actually a very fair point.
“This car isn’t as fast as a Bugatti super bike.” Yeah… basically nothing is.

I think the healthy, measured response to what’s been done to the modal US citizen in the last eight years or so is nothing short of white hot, borderline murderous rage.
Sometimes that’s truly the appropriate response. Many people and institutions have spent incredible amounts of money, time and energy gaslighting people into not believing this.
I was fooled for a very short amount of time, but I know in my heart what’s right.

Don’t the French use full sized poodles as police dogs? They’re crazy smart, I knew one and it was like having a huge furry toddler walking around.

”Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good everyone is saying it. All these workers, very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people very very rude and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me everyday and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, Look the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction believe me you gotta trust me on this one. The means of production, obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for folks. Everyone told me they said, Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess whose laughing now?"

We remember it that way because of how it ended up, but the Weimar was absolutely lousy with serious, revolutionary communists and honeycombed with the most stomach churning levels of sexual and cultural degeneracy ever witnessed in the west at that time. It very easily could have gone the other way.
My general feeling on this matter is that a healthy society capable of self government with aligned values and incentives would have never produced the Nazis in the first place, so if you’re frightened of a reappearance of them the moral imperative is not to produce the same levels of abject moral depravity that produced them in the first place.
Up until very recently, I felt that we were obviously failing that. I feel much more hopeful now.
Your entire analysis is wrong because your framing is wrong; Trump is the counter-force.
The ideologically motivated fracking of the American genetic, cultural and social foundation is pure Weimar-style dangerous nonsense that has been going on since at least 2012.
Failure to apply this counter force will convert a legitimate immune response to a real problem (MAGA) into a full on auto immune disorder. I don’t want to be around to see that.
Trump is Gracchus. If no course correction, then comes Sulla. Then the Caesars.
I agree, avoiding this is incredibly important.
An additional irony is that, like the modal “shitlib” resistance type I am also very frightened of fascism. But like, the real thing and not the fake & gay secular satan stand-in for non conformity to the vagaries of fashion, but rather an actual militaristic totalizing death cult.
“Please stop doing Weimar stuff, for the love of god.” Is my actual point of view.

One of the recurring elements of the resistance to Trump is that those decrying Trump and his supporters as a fascist don’t understand they are engaged in a self fulfilling prophecy.
I don’t think Trump and his supports are fascist, I generally think that fascism is not a live political force of any real consequence in the USA. I think people who throw the term around loosely almost always don’t understand what fascism actually is, and why it arose.
I cannot think of a better way to actually facilitate the birth of a real American homegrown fascism than killing or jailing Trump and successfully using extralegal methods to suppress the maga movement and stifle their (very popular) core political agenda.
It’s as if these people are trying to do a Weimar Republic speed run. If they got what they wanted, they’d likely also subsequently get what they are afraid of and what they deserve.

Or have a minor character who mentions it be banned from there for life but still lurking. You’d have your pick of the litter as to who that is.

Yeah it’s like “TDS: The Song!”
The fact that it’s super popular amongst right wing zoomers is a deliciously ironic twist of the knife.
It’s the current year version of Yankee Doodle dandy, designed as an attack and then judo spun into a counter attack.
Great song! Thank god for the “death of the author”.

I think that’s a bit pedantic, most people nowadays use the phrase to describe a large spread on a wooden board which includes meats and cheeses, but also olives / crackers / nuts with various sauces and dips like honey and mustard.
It’s a whole genre at this point.
How old are you? This song is instantly recognizable to a huge portion of Millennials, zoomers and gen alpha across cultures.
