This is from a few pages ago but it's such a glaring example of missing the point that I had to bring it up again. The terrifying thing about Nazis is that they're just like everyone else. People, as a whole, tend to act the same way and use similar reasoning for everything they do. Yes, NATURALLY both sides would look similar from far enough away when it comes to things like emotional appeals and martyrdom. The difference lies in the fact that the end goal for Nazis is genocide and for antifa is protecting people who would be victims of said genocide. You can say poo poo like "both sides will use violence at times" and "both sides will try to convince you they're right" and "both sides will rally around perceived victims of the other side" and technically be right, but the end results of taking their ideas to the logical conclusion are vastly different and you're being intellectually bankrupt if you stop there and don't think further ahead

We do think further ahead and it's not intellectually bankrupt to worry about teaming up with violent thugs, regardless of their politics. Core antifa aren't reluctant heroes forced to become vigilantes, they are people who enjoy fighting and want a socially acceptable excuse to fight.

I'm definitely on the side of the hippies who want to "win" without having to hit people with sticks.

Never forget that the straw that broke the camels back in regards to Mike Anissimov being kicked out of the dark enlightenment was him pointing out that valuing chastity and traditional family structures and hanging out with PUAs was contradictory.

The actual Nazis were obsessed with saccharine adventure stories about happy pastoral populations. MLP actually fits into that perfectly fine. To them those shows represent the world they want after they've killed off all the undesirables.

The main reason Bronydom is seen as a ‘gender poison’ to men is because of the surface neoteny, but scratch the pastel exterior and you’ll find a show who’s main themes are social maturity, importance of tradition, family and bravery in keeping civilisation together. Because it is a girl-power show, though, most antagonists are defeated through cooperation and shows of solidarity. In real life, if the women of the Troy rode out to meet those trying to bring down the city walls, they’d be put to the sword. Hence Celestia keeps male royal guards around.. but anyway.

It’s important to remember that most of the foes in MLP are simply Other Ponies, who for whatever reason are prepared to destroy or damage the trust that hold society together for their own ends. This varies between low-level shysterism like Trixie to industrialists like Flim and Flam. Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks as well had villains that succeeded mainly through social manipulation and destroying the mutual trust by setting different social types against each other. The central message of the show is that Friendship and trust forged through experience and mutual understanding are paramount in having a livable, sane society. At a very basic level, the ability to trust to a high level those around you is integral to pony (white) society. Trademark show baddies exploit this trust and destroy society n the bargain. Merchant-capitalists Flim & Flam sold gimmicky, useless ‘tonics’, and Trixie paraded as a potential saviour, only to fail miserably when a real threat popped her ego balloon. When these hacks are exposed and you shine the light of truth on them, they scatter like roaches. Trixie & Co are summarily expelled from Ponyville.

In Equestria Girls: Rainbow Rocks, the villains actually succeed. Aside from a far-right conspiracy of Friendship Peddlers, the Dazzlings – An evil trio of malicious spirits – manage to hypnotize the whole of Canterlot High, setting every caste, class and faction within the school against each other using a Battle of the Bands. The crowd broils over into seething resentment, and the Dazzlings take the central spotlight and highest social status by Wow-ing everyone with displays of being the most aloof, the most self-absorbed, the most narcissistic and self important. After all, when all of society is atomised into competing factions, the most logical role model is to be the most sociopathic. Hence the section of Western/White Society that relies most on the aristocracy for its morality – The labouring working classes – Idolise the false gods of the Kardashians, and other vapid, pointless mouthbreathers, who hypnotize the many by being just so Cool, so above those stupid no-good rednecks, like a weeping Caitlyn Jenner receiving an award for battling transphobia-induced PTSD or Obama grieving for one of his many Sons. It’s worth noting that these entertainers pass for ponies, but they’re not really. They’re just devils and monsters passing themselves off as white – Sorry, Canterlot High students – when it suits them.

When there is no common goal and social trust is eroded to the most basic level, the ideological class can take control by peddling false and misleading narratives. Society continues a slow decline into total disintegration, and the hawkers are always there, selling false causes, feel-good balm and a conveniently weak and marginalised enemy to blame – Obviously, those sick and depraved right-wingers and their racism, and 'microaggressions’ round every corner that drive innocent black journalists to shoot down their coworkers.

A consensus on an obviously false ideology – 'We’re all equal!!’ paralyses society as individuals suppress anything that makes them conspicuously different. In 'The Cutie Map’ episodes, Starlight Glimmer takes on this ideological caste. Because ponies are suppressing the natural ways they adapt and help each other by playing to their strengths, in order to appear 'equal’; society begins to predictably spiral into total poverty. Remember kids: Choose equality as your special talent. More builders are men instead of women? Sexist. Not enough dindus in college? Racist. And so on.

Difference and equality are mutually exclusive, as equality means 'the same as.’ Starlight has the answer: If there are problems, the cause is inequality. The solution? More equality. We need more Eritean and Somalian refugees, just to prove how much equality we can have, and we’ll throw those friendship-peddlers in jail for a good measure as well!! We don’t have any cutie-marks of our own, there’s nothing special about us, so who cares if we’re displaced? Of course, bronies went off into a tizzy with this one. They mean Equality, but not our Equality right?! That’s not fair! Gay Marriage! And Stuff!!

Starlight Glimmer achieves her total control of Europe through the Televitz, sorry, Staff of Sameness; through which ponies have their memories of what makes them different to the other peoples of earth stripped from them, leaving them scrabbling miserably by, unable to cooperate, harmonise or build a functioning community with the similarly mezmerised ponies around them. The episode is resolved and modernity is destroyed when Starlight is shown to be just another shyster – somepony who hoodwinked and betrayed her folk in exchange for power. There are many whites like this.No doubt if Starlight was here today, she’d work at the BBC.

Starlight Glimmer steals Twilight’s Cutiemark and Magic with the staff.

A cutiemark? Wouldn’t you prefer an iPad?

But nationalism is not sentimental nonsense. Who we are is not sentimental nonsense, nor is it 'obsolete’ as some crusty old liberal hand-wringers would have you believe. We are biological beings, after all - each with unique gifts and personalities that cannot grow in our micromanaged world. Nationalism is belonging, and belonging is a matter of intense passion, and an abandonment of national identity is nothing but dereliction of duty and casting away any sense of self.

And this is where this article should end. But it doesn’t, because it’s not over. This isn’t a defanged, self-loathing “nationalism” which lays the blame for the dissolution of whites entirely on their own shoulders. When we point to liberalism and the myriad of ideologies used to surround and chip away white self esteem, we have to ask, who created these dangerous ideas? Cui Bono? Who’s waving the Staff of Sameness about, who uses theatrical props like dead Syrian children as conduits for malicious magic?

When Hitler came to power – Yes, Hitler, the ultimate baddie, the only permissable baddie, the evil upon which all other evils are rated – The psychological health of the German people improved immeasurably, because their sense of self was restored. The shame of losing a world war and the humiliation of Versailles was cast away as one man unapologetically stood for the health of his people as a whole, and the Germans chose to rally behind him because he stood for the self esteem of the German people, so they could live as truly suited them; instead of being caught in the nightmare of the dying Weimar republic. Remember at this time, Germans were lucky if they had spoons to eat out of dustbins with. Jewish businesses boomed and the sexual marketplace was a depraved free-for-all. The German people were utterly brought to their knees by economic and moral aggressions against them within their homeland, and WWI veterans were fighting running street battles with hardline communists, who wanted to run the country further into the ground. Posters read 'Hitler: Our Only Hope’ – Something that in our super-ironic culture today is probably considered laughable and disgusting, but at the time meant something real, and gave people hope. Hitlers ascension, before his flaws got the better of him and he decide to try and dominate Europe rather than unite it, was that he stood for the German people to be able to live according to who they really were (a lesson which sadly he did not apply to the Ukrainians). This was before as Netanyahu says, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem told him to turn 6 million jews into lampshades.

The thing about whites is that because our society is based on high-trust, those who fall outside of the consensus on morality are expelled. But we live in a special time when our moral consensus, manufactured in the identity politics of the 60’s, is on the brink of total collaspe, and the hidden morality – the hidden Europe – is re-emerging. The Siren Song of the Dazzlings is over and the Starlight Glimmers are being held up as the cultural marxist traitors they really are. The tipping point where the virality of White Nationalist ideas swoops in and captures the middle ground from the extreme fringe is measured in years, if not months.

Consider, 'refugee’ centres in Germany are being burnt down at a rate of one every day. As I write this, some inventive soul is probably stuffing a rag into a jerry can and setting out to turn the accommodation for the non-white invaders into a smokey inferno. The idea that we can include everyone in our individualist enterprise is shown to be false, as other peoples might be fine as individuals, but also have strong group interests; and one group in particular has an especially strong group hatred for us. I say this because obviously for a number of years now I have had the moniker of 'nazi pony guy’ hanging around in the background, so if anyone is going to sail this ship it’s going to be me. There is a place for the new and inventive right, a truly European, energetic and youthful right wing that likes martial industrial music and kids cartoons – maybe even gender 'fluidity’, whatever that is. But the litmus test for who’s serious or not is not adherence to The One True Original and Authentic National Socialism™, but whether in having the courage to hold onto your identity, pride and sense of self, one can say – There are other causes for our decline, but as for the people pushing it hardest –

Yes, it’s the Jews.

As a utopia, the Atlantis Project is pitiful. Beyond the single one-trick fact of its watery location, it is tragically non-ambitious, crippled with class anxiety, nostalgic not for mythic glory but for the anonymous sanctimony of an invented 1950s. This is no ruling class vision: it is the plaintive daydream of a petty bourgeoisie, whose sulky solution to perceived social problems is to run away–set sail into a tax-free sunset.

None of this is surprising. Libertarianism is not a ruling-class theory. It may be indulged, certainly, for the useful ideas it can throw up, and its prophets have at times influenced dominant ideologies–witness the cack-handed depredations of the “Chicago Boys” in Chile after Allende’s bloody overthrow. But untempered by the realpolitik of Reaganism and Thatcherism, the anti-statism of “pure” libertarianism is worse than useless to the ruling class.

Big capital will support tax-lowering measures, of course, but it does not need to piss and moan about taxes with the tedious relentlessness of the libertarian. Big capital, with its ranks of accountant-Houdinis, just gets on with not paying it. And why hate a state that pays so well? Big capital is big, after all, not only because of the generous contracts its state obligingly hands it, but because of the gun-ships with which its state opens up markets for it.

quote:

Libertarianism, by contrast, is a theory of those who find it hard to avoid their taxes, who are too small, incompetent or insufficiently connected to win Iraq-reconstruction contracts, or otherwise chow at the state trough. In its maundering about a mythical ideal-type capitalism, libertarianism betrays its fear of actually existing capitalism, at which it cannot quite succeed. It is a philosophy of capitalist inadequacy.

You know, every time I talk to John Steele he says, 'Wait, I didn't see that tweet. I never see any of your tweets.' Yes, that's because I'm being throttled over on Twitter. I strongly suspect something similar is happening on Youtube, where my videos just aren't spreading quite as fast as maybe they ought to be. Might have something to do with pissing off somebody that, uh, gets to go to the UN and dictate, you know, world policy...
