It was pretty frustrating over the past 5 years seeing infotainment take priority over institution building among people who style themselves as “based and redpilled”. You’d think people who are “on the level” about how every institution works in opposition to their interests, would realize how woefully lacking in countervailing organizations they are. You’d expect them to pause the podcasting for a couple of minutes and maybe help build something.
Maybe it’s a psychological thing. Maybe they thought if they helped build some real world institutions, that would be just too real for them. It’s safer to just hang out in hyperreality. And like I said, it’s more entertaining.
Whatever it is, it’s the nature of the beast and we have to work with what we got and meet people where they are.
I’m pretty stunned at how far and fast talking points traveled from the fringes to the mainstream. This is probably a result of the infotainment culture. So maybe we’re actually getting somewhere.
At any rate, I’m pretty optimistic about the next five years. Regardless, I’ll be riding the tiger along with you dude.
What ever happened to that follow up book you were writing for Liberalism Unmasked?
i am still working on it! slow and steady. it's shaping up to be much better than the first book.
