It isn't that the "Left" have trained him to be a servile and pathetic 🐕, it's that *everything* and everyone in so-called polite and normal society has trained him thusly.

What that is worthwhile has Conservatism succeeded in conserving? It certainly has not maintained or protected the institution of marriage. Conservatism is kaput because Christianity is kaput. Christianity is kaput because the American Revolutionaries began a series of revolutions that ended Christendom in 1918.

The nature of power is who has the money to control the institutions. The nature of power is ferocious nepotism and in-group preference of a ruling racial oligarchy. And through their control of institutions, they control the minds of 85% of the sheeple - who are ALWAYS up for grabs. All it takes is to show the sheeple who's in charge and what to believe via social media, television and educational institutions. Any idea or trend, no matter how absurd or harmful to society - repeat - no matter how utterly absurd - can be popularized and made mainstream with enough money, repetition and control of our institutions.

When you actually print the money, you can easily absorb endless losses that may occur due to the inherently unnatural and unlikeable ideas you're pushing. It just takes money, which to the racially integrated oligarchs ruling us, is literally monopoly money. Empty theaters with plays that nobody watches is still effective at achieving their primary goal. It displaces what could be competing with it. It demonstrates power that everyone can see. It in itself is a humiliation ritual: "See what I can do? What are you going to do about it? Nothing, just like always." This helps to further solidify defeatism and nihilism.

At this point the financial system must collapse in order for us to have a serious shot of fighting back. And that may happen within a reasonable timeframe the way things are going. We must plot and plan for what we are going to do to take advantage of the situation when -not if - it happens. It's coming eventually...what are we going to do about it when it finally arrives? How will we rebuild a new currency - OUR currency - and reignite our own ancient racial in-group preferences and nepotism?

If we get those last two parts down, all the other parts will fall into place. Including theater that serves and nourishes us, along with everything else.

Conservatives fear wielding power. They are under the mistaken assumption that Lord Acton was correct, when Frank Herbert is more on target.

Mark Steyn has repeatedly said that it starts with culture

And that Politics is downwind of Culture. As the Author said, Evans has it backwards.

I have an unrelated comment hopefully Woes can respond to it here. I sent an entropy super chat just after the end of milleniyule about the "M" "Y" combined rune like symbol Woes suggested using as the symbol of milleniyule. I didn't realize that super chats would only be answered on telegram AMA so I have been waiting for an AMA to appear on Odyssey. Woes, can you put your AMAs starting from the beginning of 2024 on Odyssey?

I see your superchat. That's a very generous donation, so thank you very much. I haven't done any AMAs in 2024. I have been working solely on Substack essays. As for the MY symbol, I do like the idea of it being derived from a tree. We will see. Right now I don't want to think about Millenniyule at all - it dominates the final third of every year for me! As for AMAs, I might start doing a monthly one, as a livestream on multiple platforms like Millenniyule was done.

Too many conservatives believe they and the Left seek the same destination by different routes. The Left has a very different agenda and a very different destination.

Too many conservatives also believe the Left is basically honorable. The Left is not honorable by philosophical conviction. Like Islam, lying, cheating and stealing are acceptable, necessary and laudable in pursuit of power and domination.

Becoming the Left is not a viable option, but neither is the naivete that is essentially disarmament.

Like you, I despair at this. The particular branch I grab to illustrate it is the analogous/connected attitude people have about bad moral character. Narcissistic and Cluster B personality disorders specifically.

They treat such people as merely misguided. Or they have "compassion" for them, because they're "ill."

We can debate the semantics of mental "illness," but it's for damned sure not the same thing as diabetes mellitus.

Personality disorders, narcissism, psychopathy--that which characterizes the modern West--are moral failings. Profound sin, immorality, and evil. These are bad people who mean us harm and will do it.

The normies? They just call me a hysteric, and "you're the narcissist lol."

Talk to me when you're choking on the dirt of your own grave that you voluntarily dug because Leader told you to. I won't be able to hear you.

In practice, 'conservatives' are (mostly White) people who live in the simulated universe of WWII propaganda.

You cannot win against an enemy as dynamic as anti-White-ism and anti-normalcy by just hunkering down, whining and hoping for the best.

The only way to defeat a dynamic enemy is to present them with a dynamic threat.

Only a revolutionary consciousness can defeat a revolutionary consciousness.

And that is why 'conservatives' are doomed to be fodder.

Neither the Right nor 'conservatives' can win because they are continually moving into the future while staring in the rear-view mirror. Their agendas are eternally set by their enemies. You cannot win by committing oneself to giving one's enemy the initiative.

MW - I am probably about 20 yrs older than you so your point of view is understandable (albeit a little disappointing).

The quote about the ‘primary function’ of a writer is to entertain…says it all…sadly....THE Primary ‘RESPONSIBILITY’ of a writer is to entertain their audience...it is his duty, his reputation, his value, his income

I grew up in a generation where your responsibility as:

- a Doctor: was to treat their patient to best of their abilities regardless of personal or political opinions

- a Policeman (yes man): was to enforce the law regardless of the personal or political persuasions

- a Lawyer: was to represent their clients without prejudice regardless of their personal views

This is why these attitudes HAD such intrinsic value to the development and maintenance of Western Civilizations.

Yes, all of the above groups CAN influence political change but it is not your main responsibility. Personally, anyone doing this…often came across a bit of an immature, egocentric narcissistic dick stuck back in their Uni days.

You disagree… do a Ten second YT search of incidence of two-tier UK Policing and incidents related to ‘THE MESSAGE’.

This is what happens when you let personal ideology take precedence over personal responsibilities.

Were previous generations perfect? NO....but a bent-copper was socially shamed among his own for letting down their higher values. A Medical Student would never confess Josef Mengele inspired them to become a Doctor..why take an hippocratic oath?

Should some writers include political issues in their work…YES…100%!

In Star Trek Original Series…one episode covered Vietnam issues (using a proxy story about a planet)

- the writers were self aware enough not to do something like: ‘A play showing the effects of ethnic immigration on the towns of Northern England’.

- the writers were self aware enough to know that they were 'writers' NOT Members of the Foreign Policy Advisory Committee to the US Senate’

The arguments for and against were presented along with differing viewpoints…it was left to the viewer to make up their own minds…this episode is still quoted 40-50 years later….THAT is how writing influences politics!

The answer to left wing propaganda is not more forceful right wing propaganda

I don't really see where we disagree. I'm not saying that drama shouldn't be entertaining or enjoyable. Of course it should be.

I want to be respectful..but this is hard to explain...the insertion of your own personal beliefs (political/religious/otherwise) into your primary work responsibilities until the last 20-25 years seen as very unprofessional. It has always been seen (until recently) as an example of a lack of emotional/social/life maturity associated with zealous, evangelical university students....most of us grew out of this phase..unfortunately the subsequent generations are perpetually stuck in it.

I know about physics...but.I am not a physicist...i certainly would not use my job to raise awareness about my PERSONAL latest opinion/theory in physics...it is hubristic..

All beliefs are 'personal' and artists cannot help but introduce their 'personal beliefs' into their art, if only in the form of their subject matter and manner of address to their audience. There is no 'Platonic' art. There's only the artist's struggle to make public what is inside.

Surely you can see that the work of a dramatist is very different from the other types you mention, being unavoidably about things, peoples, societies, etc.? Of course a physicist shouldn't inject politics into his work (if that were even possible) but a dramatist telling stories has umpteen opportunities to do so. In fact it is probably unavoidable that his worldview will bleed through even if he doesn't want it to. You are comparing apples and oranges. Drama, whether on radio, stage, TV or film, is a chance for us to reflect on life, ideas, society, culture, psychology, etc. Of course it should be entertaining, but to say that injecting one's opinions and concerns into it is a sign of emotional immaturity... no. However, I can see what you mean if it's preachy and one-dimensional.

'Entertaining' is pretty much in the eye of the audience. There has been an audience for didactic art for some time. In the old days, they called them 'morality plays'.

>His assumption that bursaries for BAME actors and crew will not affect “individuals with talent because they’ll always find a way”.

This made me see red. Such policies are pervasive throughout our institutions, artificially boosting diversity into positions of prominence while holding back white kids, boys especially of course, from finding any place within the institutions their ancestors built. Shrugging and saying, oh well if they're any good they'll find a way, as though this absolves elders from their responsibility to give the younger generation a hand up, makes me want to punch them.

Exactly. I work in the arts. After I complete a job I am often sent a ‘survey’ e mail from an organisation, (usually the same one), which asks for my ethnicity, gender identity etc. Why would I answer that? The aim of that organisation is to rid my industry of me. Not to ‘balance’ anything or to ‘increase awareness’. But eradication. Yet most people like me dutifully fill it out.

It reminds me of the cops in David Simon’s Homicide. Who feel they are saying to gangbangers ‘Hello. I want to put you in prison for the rest of your life for murder. But I cannot do that without your help. So please help me ‘ and the gangbangers are essentially tricked into saying ‘sure, let me help.’

In a saner and healthier world, I think it would be sometimes necessary to encourage children to overcome certain life difficulties on their own. I, for one, could have greatly benefitted from such challenges in my youth. That said, in an openly anti-White social milieu of today's Britain, and of the West in general, the typical conservative plea of pulling oneself by the bootstraps and just stop whining about the injustice of it all comes across as aloof, irresponsible and outright harmful to younger generations. Left to their own devices, without a strong spiritual and material connection to older generations of the family and community, many young Whites just become NPCs or spiteful mutants.

It's one thing if the same, harsh standards are applied to all. Indeed that's ideal at certain points in a child's development.

It's quite another when one group is coddled, given every protection and advantage, while the other is not only left unsupported but actively sabotaged ... and by the very people intended to help them. It's as though a teen's parents make him pay for room and board, while adopting an African child and giving him everything for free.

Conservatism is just the junior partner to Liberalism and has never conserved anything worth conserving. It has certainly never conserved the national interest.

No, it is worse than that. White people literally don't know who they are or what has happened to them. Chou Enlai was absolutely right when he said in 1974 it was too early to tell if the French Revolution had been a good thing. Well, now we know!

Liberalism was an attempt to replace Christianity, and National Socialism was an attempt to replace Liberalism. All the wrong ways have already been tried.

Christianity has been failing for 500 years. Liberalism has been the monster that has been swallowing the corpse of Christianity for the past 250 years. The corpse of Christianity cannot be revived. When Christianity was working properly, it was only as a Creature of the State in which heretics were burned at the stake.

The Romans probably didn't understand their own history even after the Roman Empire fell, but it is easy for us to understand with our historical perspective. We already know that Christianity failed to prevent the decline and fall of the Roman Empire and the end of Christendom in 1918.

The good news is that the solution has already been around for 1400 years. The bad news is that it took Europeans so long to realise this.
