Welcome to the NRP. We are publishing the absolute best of those extremely online extremists known as the "New Right."
Threads of the Week
> Anon, my son. You are 18. It’s time for you to choose a self-improvement guru. Will you follow Sol Brah, tanned anonymous supplement-monger in Roman centurion helmet advocating ancestral approach of keto and “sun and steel”? Or will you follow a new contender: Moon Brah, aka Bryan Johnson, vampiric vegetarian, biohacker, cold-hearted quantified selfer. Will you follow the path of nature or of tech? Maybe we don’t have to choose. Maybe we need both.
> Are you man enough to wife up a sturdy skillet-wielding Midwestern totwife who yells at you from across the house to ask if you remembered to pick up the 5lb bag of shredded cheese blend at Sam’s? That’s the question the e-right is asking itself this week. Would you be lucky to have her, or should you save your virginity for an “ethereal size 0," frolicking among the sunflowers?
> If you’ve ever hung out with dissidents IRL, you know that most "white supremacists” are actually brown.
> The young men are not OK.
> Stinky Al Jazeera journalist is coming after a humble dissident soapmonger. Send power.
> The average leftist is an insecure child ensconced within layers of “ironic” self-hatred.

>
continues his series on how various countries are handling the inexorable march of global techno-capital with a look at India.
> The libs with pitchforks came for Substack in the past, asking “What are you going to do about the nazis who are definitely real and numerous?” and its founder held the screeching hoards at bay like Gandalf. But you knew that wasn’t the end of it.
highlights a recent collective effort to ‘demand answers’ (read: force a censorship policy). I’m optimistic about Substack’s ability to resist this sort of thing, although their reliance on Stripe as a payment processor represents a critical bottleneck on which pressure could be applied.
>
explores the tactical benefits to revering America’s Founding Fathers.
> We all think the coffee hipsters with their $$$ home brewing setups are “a bit much.” But as
at suggests, maybe we can at least appreciate them for seeking excellence, and avoid the egalitarian cliche that everyone should just drink slop.
>
continues a fascinating series with a rumination on modern domonology.
>
wants you to build a parallel society where you can do business with people who don’t despise you.
>
eviscerates Just Eggs, an infernal, industrial concoction of seed oils, bean protein, colorings and texturizers masquerading as eggs.
>

>
clarifies that you are ruled by an elite who explicitly hate you.

I’ll take the size zero: maternal obesity raises risk of all kinds of disorders in the child including diabetes and fertility problems. And I like frolicking too :)
