Anyone who has operated at a high level understands the concept of being in “the zone.” Successful athletes, artists, musicians, titans of industry, and innovators are all familiar with this feeling of incredible momentum.
Having read the entirety of the article, I do most certainly agree with. We’ve been a shallow society for a very long time. Now, it’s positively unbearable.
It’s up to a few small communities and individuals to preserve good sense, beauty, culture and knowledge, much in the same way the monks of the island Skellig Michael, west of the island of Ireland, after the fall of the Roman Empire. Civilisation is over, and pretending that we can preserve it on a large scale is a waste of time...It’s up to a few creative individuals and communities to preserve it and foster it.
I did, in fact, head over to The Blaze and read the rest of the piece. You could not be more correct: the time has come to "seize the reigns." Once again, we need to be looking forward. I don't care much about "conserving" what little remains, let alone the ashes of the old world... that seems futile. We need to look forward, towards building a new order atop the grave of liberalism. Attack, maneuver, build up and move forward, as happy warriors.
I do not subscribe to your sub stack or YouTube, but I do subscribe to numerous other journalist in this fight for freedom, but would you be able to advise when your book will be published as I will purchase a hardback copy.
The idea that “the left has lost the Mandate of Heaven” may explain why it has become so heavy handed of late. I forgot where I read it, but I remember the author (Yarvin?) saying when an old regime dies, it lashes out and becomes desperate. He used the police response to the Stonewall riots and civil rights “demonstrations” as examples. I think the point he was trying to make was the successor regime uses this temporary and violent flailing as propaganda to support the story of the new regime. “Look how you were treated the entire time until we rescued you.” When in reality it had only gotten so bad because there was a desolate attempt to hold onto power.
I sincerely hope you are correct. I’d feel more hopeful if managerial elites had a natural enemy. They may have lost the Mandate and they may be fragile (ala Haywood), but until there’s an alternate elite who can take power, they have the reigns.
The recent talk between James Poulos and Michael Anton discussed a lot of the issues with getting the budding right wing cultural movement off the ground. So much of the rights major brokers either still don’t care about culture or will only engage with the boomercon aesthetic that dominates the mainstream right/GOP. If the right wants to make a claim to the Mandate of Heaven, it needs to develop a culture that promotes and rewards attaining and using power, otherwise it will just get more zombie Reaganism. Hopefully the right can actually get some support to this movement soon.
That’s right. We allowed the termites to infest the foundations of our society, while the rest of us turned a blind eye to their assault. Since main stream middle America increasingly let their founding principles, especially their religious, and moral principles to be successfully attacked and disassembled, the outcome that we see today was preordained

Excellent piece, Mr. Macintyre.

Dear Auron,
