Eggboy is so much better than the Spencer punch.

He went alone to a nazi rally in a warehouse on an isolated industrial estate. He had no one else with him, there were only nazis and a few press there.

That takes a hell of a lot of guts.

I frequently try to engage with my friend from El salvador, who falls into this anti-sjw ingroup that overlaps with every other lovely group like MRA etc. I've noticed he feebly tries to redirect a lot of "logic and facts" back at me as a deflection attempt to avoid addressing my assertions or issues becoming a repeating circle. After recently rewatching the YT video "The Alt-Right Playbook: The Card Says Moops", the postmodern conservatism jumped out at me this time because it reminded me of my "friend" and IMC's behavior. This could be my own confirmation bias but I felt like this piece pretty much sums up their ideological outlook.


Has anyone that read through Corey Robin's "The Reactionary Mind", see this reference of postmodern conservatism? I saw it referenced once and indirectly in a newyorker article about Corey's book. Is this guy and his critique valid? What's weird is this guy was able to post his stuff on quilette and aeromag but it wasn't as in straightforward as this piece.
I bought that book and I like the guys ideas and his conclusions but even as a total fukken politics nerd it was way too academic for me

it’s the kind of book that just launches into a comparison with Burke’s version of conservatism without doing the plebs the courtesy of explaining what that was

and Burke was one of the ones I’d heard of

Postmodernism is a topic that comes up once or twice in Robin's book, but only long enough to acknowledge that conservatives are aware of it as an intellectual and cultural movement. Robin's thesis is that conservatism has a stable core of ideas over time and adapts to the moment by reacting to intellectual themes and practices from the larger culture. From that perspective, I think that McManus's analysis isn't completely wrongheaded, even if I personally find it obvious.

he had some blog post where he said that to put it in somewhat kinder terms (and im oversimplifying a little), the right views order as the source of morality and the left views order as (perhaps not necessarily but currently in practice) a perversion of morality, and it makes a lot of things make more sense
another one of his insights is that conservatism becomes political (i think) and mobilized when order is contested. like the expression is of something that they perceive as slipping away. someone who is just apolitically traditional about the way things actually are now is not going out and defending chili's bar and grill or putting a chili's logo on a "come and take it" flag. not yet anyways.

like i see white dudes in pickups with molon labe and texas nationalist poo poo all the time but this is also in the middle of a 60-mile-wide urban metropolis with 6+ million people from all over the world. they're acting out an idealized image of what they think texas was because the definition of "it" is contested every time they drive out of their suburban garage in the morning and look around.

they also sell buc-ee's morale patches for tactical equipment inside buc-ee's, and i saw a late-night private security guard once wearing one on his tactical vest. it was like something out of a bruce sterling novel of cartoonish corporate death squad. he was quite friendly though. anyways

I know the asatru community here in Denmark are severely fed up with the Nazi fuckers who try to infiltrate and co-opt Norse mythology and symbolism to nefarious ends.

In more positive news, apparently Hendrik Möbus (of nazi metal band Absurd) got beat the gently caress up at the Vort Fatum underground black metal festival at Mayhem KBH here in Copenhagen. They weren't playing, he was in the audience.

Maybe he should have read up on the venue before going, as Mayhem is closely connected to the leftie/socialist/anarchist Youth House.

As one of my friends put it: "if a Nazi shows up at Mayhem, he can expect to leave a few teeth behind".

Of course antifascists are fed up with nazis, but to say that the "asatru community" is wouldn't be true. The largest Danish organization for Asa- and vanetro, Forn Sidr, has explicitly völkisch and racist fash types in positions of leadership, and uncritically copy and circulate translations of Asatru Folk Assembly (US hate group for heathens) to heathen families.

All us who are no longer afiliated with Forn Sidr because of their racist bullshit are of course still antiracists, but I wouldn't say we're necessarily a majority.

I'll amend my statement to "the people I know in the community don't like those people".

A bunch of them are involved in the upcoming Udgårdsfest mini festival, and that's strictly a folk musik/asatru thing, they're not fans of the fash.

Though I'm sure a few will show up, anyway.

Chelsea just joined in on the pile-on calling Ilhan out as being antisemitic, Ilhan got a LOT of islamophobic hate and Chelsea was partially responsible for that.
