#170. Is it just me, or is it getting crazier out there?
Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week 🧵
> Is Kamala like a fall-girl who gets promoted to CEO in order to redirect blame away from the people who drove the company into the ground?
> Was the Project 2025 stuff always just a highball offer to kick off negotiation?
> Today’s transfolx can’t just live quietly, like synth pioneer Wendy Carlos.
> That opera solo that closed out the RNC, explained.
> Bukele bros baffled by Trump’s RNC shade-throwing will appreciate this extra context.
> With Kamala running, not only is the race still hot, they’re going to make your life way worse.
> Sam Hyde flame-broils Silicon Valley grey triber John Carmack over the latter’s appeal for civility.
> Anon eviscerates the notion that conservatives are cozier with their radicals than the left.
> Did JD Vance go MAGA because the elites would never treat him as one of their own? Or is it possible that he realized the elites were terrible people?
> And if after that you’re still wondering if we should get people fired for being egregiously libtarded, perhaps consider this mega-list of conservatives who were fired for insane reasons.
> Dark Maga is back, this time with a memecoin, and even Silicon Valley powerhouses are in.
🎥A/V of the Week🎥
NRP cub reporter Ace helped out with this week’s A/V and Reads sections.
>
interviews on how aesthetics matter, dressing nice matters, and why you must look decent to attract frens and mates.> Nick Fuentes betrays the zoomers and their vulgar trap music with boomer classic rock.
>
and discuss Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash and how his perspective on the metaverse parallels with modern Luddites.> How do we escape modernity and its attendant fertility collapse?
and attempt to explain the fault in our stars.> Biden gives first address after dropping out.
> Trump spots a baddie at the bar.
😬Cringe Corner😬
> You knew it was coming. Media vultures are picking through JD Vance’s trash, poking through his underwear drawer, looking at his Spotify account, his Tolkien fandom, and his Twitter followers. They pulled out all the stops for this one, calling up one of those dorky “extremism beat” researchers for a scare quote, and namedropping BAP, Raw Egg Nationalist, Hanania, and Martyrmade.
📰Reads of the Week📰
>
notices that as students of the theater (for better and worse), prog imagination can fit both Hitler and the triumphant ballot box turnout. The left could use its imagination of violence and performative politics to stay in the theater, with all their constituents, and blow off steam there instead of conducting actual terrorism. Unfortunately, their rage has disrupted the fantasies of peaceful democracy and trust in society.>
notices that our secular climate has been fertile ground for fake and gay neo-paganism. The manifestations of vice, esotericism, and taking the LARP to new extremes have found a home in dissident spaces.>
responds to Misanthrope, and the broader Christian right, arguing that the ‘spiteful mutant’ Christians in the Dissident Right are a fringe minority who need to slow their roll. Their lack of vitalism and organization could prevent them from having leverage in the DR and electoral politics more broadly. Perhaps, it’s time to go full LARP and engage in Roman Empire-era factionalism 2.0.> Blackpillers have been put on notice.
assures skeptical viewers that the GOP has changed. MAGA is now the establishment. It may be lip service, however, the amount of would-be neocons kissing the ring warrants attention. The establishment types use dissident talking points, the platform has been updated, and his base has moved past the Old Guard. Before we get too cynical, Trump may be the only thing stopping the Insane Clown Party from taking over.> What is the “woke right”?
explains how the New Right’s critics, distancing themselves from progressive identity politics, try to impose their libertarian values onto them. Using elite theory as the model, he describes class-based politics' influence. Schmitt established that it’s tribes with their strong communities that transcend a Marxist reading of history.>
explains why the sadistic bloodlust of normie libs isn’t the same as conservatives agitating for your job for saying something out of pocket. Marginal groups don’t have the luxury to abide by regime-approved standards. The left understood this, as well as gays and women. So, dissidents don’t have to worry about hypocrisies, especially when they talk about replacing us.> Counterpoint: Leave the cashiers alone, anon.
isn’t buying the 4D chess strategy of going after proles because of their politics. The Jewish guy behind the counter doesn’t run the bank.> Jordan Peterson, under the microscope.
plays detective and lays out his arc before and after the Daily Wire gig. Despite the cynical partisan swipes from vocal activists on the timeline, there’s sympathy here. Peterson may end up like his wife in due time.> Cancellation may be a form of liberation.
responds to Home Depot-gate, reminding us that the normal majority won’t become the left despite using “their” tactics. There is more moral hesitation from the right, a valuable thing to have.🕵️♂️Dudley of the Week🕵️♂️

There you have it, folks. As always, we are publishing All the Shit that’s Fit to Poast, twice a week. Follow us on Twitter to see our take on who posted the top thread, read and tweet, along with lots of other banter and hijinks between issues that you won’t see on Substack.
Did you see the judge had this whole paragraph about the "New Right" in her verdict in our case? Can send if you like—Nina
The elephant herd photo is one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Truly, for the sake of Mother Earth, the West must end ALL aid to Africa, cut off all technology, and let it all return to a state of nature with about 1.4 billion fewer people. Then white people can do with it what should always have been done: make it into a theme park.
