#122. Severe intellectual disabilities
Welcome to the NRP. We are publishing the absolute best of those extremely online extremists known as the "New Right."
Tipped over 2,000 subscribers this week. Amazing. Truly, thank you for reading. And for the chatter in the comments, too. We want to encourage you, the readers to recommend stuff that we missed in the comments and maybe we can highlight it the next issue of the NRP.
On with the Poast.
🧵Threads of the Week🧵
> Until now, conservatives have desperately, perhaps pathetically, tried to claim MLK. Not anymore, and not just because he was a plagiarist or a philanderer or a commie. The new right opposes MLK’s whole civil rights project. Sohrab Ahmari thinks the Right’s new impulse to criticize MLK is going to give normies the ick, and the right shouldn’t lay the “legal developments that have transpired since 1964” at his feet. Even Rufo thinks this is too far. But aren’t those legal developments the fruit of civil rights law? Isn’t this “second constitution” exactly his legacy?
> One of the longest, most hard-fought debates on the e-right is the legitimacy of the so-called “tardwife.” Some think men must seek out a high-IQ mate that they may bear them genius children. Others think that intelligent women are too much trouble, and the simple church-going tardwife is the ticket. Some think the tardwife is a myth. Still others think that female intelligence is something different from male intelligence, and what you really want is an intuitive-wife, levitating with psychic energies. Or a brilliant bimbo who doesn’t share your interest in Evola and model trains.
> Lomez saw the best minds of his generation destroyed by RNG. Nobody wants to hire sensitive young brainiacs anymore, so they are pouring their autistic energies into playing vidya games real fast.
> Kulak is talking tipping points, and not the kind Malcom Gladwell told you about.
> Zero HP warns against leaning too hard into the passivity of identity politics, even the white flavor.
> Everything sucks because you have to put up with the bottom quintile.
> Indian Bronson, whose immigration status is unknown, offers an easy peasy lemon-squeezy 10-step program for ridding the U.S. of illegal immigrants.
🎥A/V of the Week🎥
> Yours truly, Dudley Newright, rode
last week and we had a great time running through some of last year’s best memes, reads and tweets. I talk a little about why I started the Poast.> Jared Taylor explains American race relations to incredulous Japanese.
>
appears on the show to discuss disenchantment and decay. .📰Longreads of the Week📰
>
hosts guest-author to discuss the various ways young women cope with alienation from their own bodies due to hypersexualization in a digital age. Nothing we haven’t heard before, but perhaps not yet from a woman young enough to have grown up inside a machine seemingly designed to make her hate herself.
>
reviewed the new Godzilla for IM-1776, which is about a lot more than a giant lizard.
> Also in IM-1776, David Rivers explores the work of the 20th-century English writer Patrick Leigh Fermor, a “cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Graham Greene.”
> This week it seemed like every other dissident had suddenly discovered the phrase, “The purpose of a system is what it does,” which means that you can’t evaluate a system by the intentions of its creators, only in its results.
explains what this means in a social context, for folks who think that American democracy would be great if we could just roll back the clock a few decades.
> Marc Andreessen wrote a Techno-optimist Manifesto, and the tech media commies, who have no capability of critiquing something that they can’t put in the “right wing fascist” bucket, immediately called it right wing, and fascist. But it ain’t.
provides clarity, introducing the “Right Wing Progressive,” a creature that wants to leverage state capacity to pursue progress at all costs.
>
on the collapse of trust in experts.
>
thinks evil is real, but it’s nothing, the absence of substance, or death.
> You need to be prudent. You need to be vulnerable. You need to be pragmatic. You need to be learning from your elders. Being “cool” isn’t going to help you make it. You need to be cringemaxxing, says
.
> Is Google preparing for a black swan event around which it will need to restrict the flow of information?
> Man’s World Mag is serializing new fiction from Marty Phillips, which appears to be about an AI that says slurs.
🐦Tweets 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, A/V, longread and tweet, along with lots of other banter and hijinks between issues that you won’t see on Substack. See you next time!
Can’t believe you missed the post by Turning Post praising a Downie conservative MP in Spain. LITERALLY TARDWIFE!
As for the tardwife discussion: if your potential future wife ticks off all the boxes for you: beauty, I.Q., charm, good family background, creative, sense of humor, etc., and she tells you she comes with a lot of baggage, believe her. And run the other way.
