Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
đ§”Threads of the Week đ§”
> Last week we reported that RFH had kickstarted another round of Wifejak chatter. For those of you who havenât been irreparably brain damaged by years of hard labor in the discourse mines, Wifejak is a meme that basically riffs on the idea that âMy wife doesnât think like me but instead of being annoyed, I love her âcause sheâs my cute lilâ somebody.â A charitable explanation is that this is a way to express that every man just wants a nice mid gal to live a boring, stable life with. We love our wifejaks not despite their predictable nature and simple if inscrutable desires, but because of them. Haters, mysteriously wifeless, fall into two camps: We already discussed the first, who object to the idea that men think their wives are just a touch dimwitted, and now we have a second group, who object to men expressing deep satisfaction with their âmediocreâ wives and âdomesticatedâ, even âfeminizedâ lives. Nick Fuentes calls it an unfunny âsitcom for millennials.â In Nickâs defense, almost all of the iterations of the meme are pretty weak, and like any meme, getting weaker as it grows. And some of them might only be funny if you have felt the security and comfort of living in holy matrimony, because you know women really do be like this. Thereâs a push-pull to marriage that is at times frustrating and enjoyable, where men and women are constantly âtrickingâ their spouse into getting their way, but both parties are smart enough to know itâs not a real deception, weâre just playacting a role, and giving our spouses something to chuckle and shake our heads at â a reminder to delight in the fact that we know them so well. Thereâs something to be said for the groypersâ argument that women arenât attracted to simping âwife guyâ types, but if you canât find anything adorable in the harmless idiosyncrasies of the opposite sex, there might actually be something wrong with you.

has again written a back-to-back award-winning read. My hands are tied, folks. Like a journey to Mars, his latest is quite long, but worth the trip. He describes the type of absolute chads who will be required to man missions to Mars, whoâs progeny will be forged by an unforgiving environment into something superhuman. A fascinating meditation on the frontier spirit.

There you have it, folks. Another week in the bag. As always, we are publishing All the Shit thatâs Fit to Poast. Follow us on Twitter and Substack Notes for lots of other banter and hijinks between issues that you wonât see here.
This stack is great for people who donât need another social media distraction. The X roundup
BAP is spot-on regarding Cenk.
I am old enough to remember when Conservatives were ushering the Neo-Cons into their ranks. Only Stephen Tonsor -- look him up, there is an entire chapter devoted to him in George Nash's "The Conservative Intellectual Movement in America since 1945" -- said not so fast, comparing them to the town whore getting religion. He pointed out that she may make a good choir director, but she has no business telling the priest how to conduct the service.
Of course Tonsor was tarred as an antisemite for this, which in retrospect just proves that he was over the target.
Cenk may make some good contributions, but as somebody who saw the light decades ago, I'm not going to look to him for direction.
