Just as with the arrow of time, entropy is the critical factor. The Right builds, whereas the Left dismantles, subverts, deconstructs, undermines and divides. The latter is the easier task. When it is all ruined in the end, the Left does not care that the Good has not been achieved, they will simply resort to tyranny to create a miserable form of order.

The problem here is in the term and the definition “conservative“. The “conservatives“ do not know what it is they are trying to conserve because they have no fundamental, core set of beliefs, values, and virtues that they are willing to defend to the end.

The “progressive” doesn’t have that problem.

If we are to survive much less to win, we need to abandon “conservatism“ entirely and focus on core principles that define us as what we are, which include - the belief in the inviolability of individual, unalienable rights that come from God, not government, or the mob, and the direct consequence of that - in absolutely minimal and limited government. Always.

Unless we do that, we will lose.

Respectfully, aren’t you an active player in the internecine scene? On pretty much every episode you mock other conservatives who fail to meet certain purity standards. “The fixed income lady donating money to Israel,” church going conservatives who happen to not care much about homosexuals, etc., etc.

Except you’re not a radical, brvh. You block people who get too spicy because you want those Peter Theil-bux.

I mean do we think it’s the right who is cancelling their own? The left controls much of the media to me it’s the left who cancels people on the right. And to say they don’t cancel people on the left is shortsighted Rogan Brand Dore and more have all had attacks from the left and MSM.

This is spot on. You need a combination of background building information businesses, investing in emerging tech, knowing how to navigate DC, and not giving into social pressure. The vanguard will necessarily be full of misfits, so you need apex misfits who will fund them and support them even if they take risks that don't pan out. The challenge is the career blacklisting that can ensue for operating outside of the Overton window, which is why one of the first information businesses the New Right needs is one that can actually clearly define where the Overton window edges are on the Right. (There are arguably no edges on the Left.)

Have you seen anything like this?

But if you’re not a radical the libs will surely cast you out. Anyone speaking any sense or urging restraint must be expelled.
