#150. Where's my check?
Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week🧵
> The real sides of the campus protests of 2024 aren’t Israel vs. Palestine. It’s normals vs the malformed rich nerds (and their true gods) who wish to quite literally destroy them. And when you acknowledge that reality, as the crazy-ass white boys have, even racially charged mockery starts to feel within bounds. Oh, btw, some of the enemies of normals can’t be mapped onto the side of Palestine.
> The idea that millennials are simultaneously a bunch of snowflakes who can’t give up they avocado toast while also being epically screwed by broad macroeconomic forces is a running theme at the NRP. Maybe the status-starved millennials don’t care about or maybe even resent the zoomer campus protests because they never got the promotion, they never got their bag, and they are going to eke out a pathetic second half of their lives as a result. The zoomers are like “Gibs me status,” and the checked-out boomers are like “Yeah, sure, whatever, take it over, burn it all down, I’ll be on my yacht if you need anything,” and the millennials are looking at this arrangement like “Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?”
> Ernst Junger absolutely pwns Destiny.
> Cormac McCarthy fan? Want to see that Evening Redness for yourself? Go on the self-guided Blood Meridian tour.
> Modern Jews aren’t any more to blame for killing Jesus than modern American whites are for slavery. But yeah, the Jews basically killed Jesus. It’s OK. We all make mistakes.
🥩Beef of the Week🥩

’s Man’s World print mag is one of the new right’s most polished and visually stunning cultural artifacts (s/o to Passage Press for the glossy treatment). But the mag stunned subscribers for a different reason this week, when trans socialite Pariah the Doll publicly complained, tongue in cheek, about not getting paid for appearing in it, causing a minor fuss across the TL and in various dissident group chats, with several prominent frogs wondering, “What is this, Man’s World or Trans World?” The episode is another flare-up in a long line of controversies (or non-troversies, depending on who you ask) relating to the new right’s willingness to tolerate trans identity, and some critics’ insistence that this willingness represents the failure of a purity test. The uneasy truce between ruralite trads and urban hedonists that make up the new right seems to be fraying at the edges, with Man’s World, perhaps inadvertently, caught in the middle. For Raw Egg Nationalist’s part, he says he didn’t know Pariah, and did not deliberately feature the photo as some sort of subversion. This TQ stuff is not going away, but you should still buy a copy of Man’s World for the other 199 pages.🎥A/V of the Week🎥
> Reformed dudebro who once embodied the crass, fratty misogyny that was despised by the Jezebel set but still relatively legal in the 00’s tells of his transformation into tradlife homesteader.
> The “Liberalize Yourself” TikTok filter is going to cause a red wave. Seriously.

writes about the very sad story of Lauren Southern’s failed marriage for Unherd. Some have accused Mary of credulity in dealing with an alleged smooth media manipulator, but regardless, the piece reveals a pervasive rot among conservative trad influencers and their wives, hidden behind the camera. Did Lauren marry a uniquely crummy asshole, or is this misery what any women faces when trying to make the trad lifestyle work?🐦Tweets of the Week🐦

"Did Lauren marry a uniquely crummy asshole, or is this misery what any women faces when trying to make the trad lifestyle work?"
Just got done with the article. Clearly the former.
If Lauren's story is accurate, and not at all embellished, then she simply married a raging asshole.
Big if.
If I learned anything when I worked doing family law, it's that there are two sides to every divorce. Most guys think their ex-wife is a crazy bitch and most girls think their ex husband was abusive. Some indeed were, but many times you get the whole story and realize both these people are screwed up and both contributed to the collapse of the marriage.
Watching Lauren's actions online since she has returned, I don't feel like she has a whole lot to say.
It seems like, at a minimum, she made an absolutly terrible call in who she decided to get pregnant with and then marry and she seems hell-bent on blaming the traditional values instead of taking responsibility.
