What is the new right and what distinguishes it from the old right? For one thing, we are NOT conservative. Open your eyes, what do you see that you want to conserve? The time for conservation has passed. The time for cleansing fire is at hand
But there will be no fire for us, not any time soon. One is tempted to ask, âwhat are the policies of the new right?â This is a bad question. Of course we could suggest many âpoliciesâ but WE will never find our vision realized in âpolicyâ
In an organization the size of a state, power accrues in invisible places. Expertise (and the power it conveys) does not exist in the brief windows of service of elected officials.
For this reason no mere election will achieve our aims. The structure of an organization determines its behaviors and capabilities https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1065641510316662785
Regardless of its structure, however, we must realize that a group of low quality people will produce low quality results, and high quality people will produce high quality results https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1067792543360806913
When we speak of government as an engineering problem, the problem we want to solve is âhow do we build a society that produces good peopleâ?
Most people, it turns out, will wirehead themselves into useless blobs, given half a chance. We want to live in a society that does not spend all its resources manufacturing portals to hell https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1060965213539729409
The government of the people, by the people, and for the people was, in retrospect, hopelessly naive and cloyingly optimistic. The conditions that made the American strategy a winner no longer obtain https://twitter.com/logo_daedalus/status/1069356541982191617
The great enlightenment was not a total loss, however, and now that we have found its limits we must transcend it. https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1048660234049187840
A critical realization is that "separation of church and state" is not even /theoretically/ possible; when you try that, a church emerges which can penetrate whatever membranes are supposed to keep it out of the state.
Every belief system wants to be a total belief system. Given that knowledge, we must not deceive ourselves with the fantasy of "moderate" ideology.
The function of the âconservativeâ parties is democratic states is to lose, and to confer legitimacy to the left by their loss.
You vote for the the conservative party but it does nothing; look, itâs right in their name. They are the party of not changing anything. Being conservative is only right when there is something to conserve.
You elect a conservative president but surprise! The entire state apparatus is against him. How do you elect a new incomprehensibly large bureaucracy?
The great fear of the dissident rightâdemography is destinyâis that after a certain racial composition of the country is reached, we will no longer have the numbers to elect a Republican president. Horror of horrors!
What do you do when the game is rigged against you? You change the rules.
If you want to create a country that is right wing, you need to replace the vast unelected body that actually holds power, not just the visible surface https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1043849088595189760
The United States Government as designed by the founding fathers is an engine of permanent, (relatively) bloodless revolution. That is its purpose: perpetual revolution. Are the internal contradictions of the Republican party clear?
The concept of the rhizome is that of an entity which can regenerate itself entirely from any of its constituent parts. The rhizome has no beginning or end, it is an eternal middle that endlessly horizontally multiplies itself.
The left has overrun the right with a rhizomatic ideology, which is to say, a decentralized, self-regrowing ideology. A social justice progressive creates social justice around herself because the formula for her pathology scales horizontally. https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1031894898029416448
To create a Right Wing state we need durable counter-revolutionary ideology. Can we build a rhizomatic right-wing egregore? https://twitter.com/0x49fa98/status/1034801320958386177
The reactionary formula is:
1. Become Worthy
2. Accept Power
You don't get to skip step 1. We do not need a worthy person or even a worthy group, we need something much bigger than that. We need a machine that manufactures worthy people.

And spoiler alert: Christianity, as it is currently understood and practiced, ainât it. If it were, we would not be in this sorry state in the first place.
