#139. Broke-ass billionaires
Welcome to the NRP. We are publishing the absolute best of those extremely online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week🧵
> You may have heard whispers of Thielbux, a mythical currency allowing dissident creatives to sustain their craft. Everybody wants ‘em, nobody seems to have ‘em. Maybe it’s because right wing billionaires have scarcity-driven mindsets. Maybe it’s because they want to risk-proof your Great American Novel, to make sure it’s, you know…really great. Perhaps, in order to get rich in the first place, right wingers must be stingy, Machiavellian. The harsh truth is, nobody is going to fund your zine. Nobody is going to bequeath your dissident salon with a catering budget, so get thee to a Costco, where shrimp cocktail platters can be purchased with American dollars.
> He kept his identity secure for seven years, but the doxxers finally came for the… shall we say, race conscious comic artist known as Stonetoss. The guy was consistently funny for long enough that your average antifa theybie had a burning hatred for the guy, so it was inevitable. Spicy boys eventually get the doxx. But don’t panic — take it in stride. Stonetoss didn’t spaz out and delete everything, he bit the bullet.
> Where are all the modern Einsteins? Was it porn, seed oils and video games? Or just complete civilizational decline? Or is it our elite urge toward conformism, and a distaste for crazy-ass white boys causing trouble together?
> Justin Murphy had us at [Catfish noodler] is a military-grade attack on the psycho-sexual dominance of the coastal Girlboss.
> Ben Shapiro thinks you should work until you croak, which is easy for Benny to say because his job is sharing his little thoughts and opinions behind a cushy desk. Personally we would like to see Ben say this after one day laying shingle or hanging drywall. Imagine him up there on a hot roof, after an hour.
> Meanwhile, Lauren Southern to Boomers: “Retire, bitch.”
> Even the screens that broadcast hellworld are turning to shit.
> Why is Colonel BBQ wearing that masonic pendant?
> Missed this one last week: I think Halo is a pretty cool guy, eh’s right wing and doesn’t afraid of anything.
🎥A/V of the Week🎥
>
and discuss race, culture and American identity.> James O’Keefe could be caught on camera literally s’ing the d of a Capitol Hill bureaucrat and it would be less gay then this footage of James having another man tie his apron strings.
> Micah Meadowcroft sent in this convo from last week — he and fellow conservative heavy hitters discussing statesmanship.
📰Reads of the Week📰
> A Rolling Stone writer came to Vegas ready to sneer at an antivaxx conference slash dissident right masquerade ball, and big surprise: he thought it was not cool at all. The Astral Ball got barely a few lines (too many beards, not enough bartenders, weak entertainment). You used to have curious freaks like Hunter S. Thompson. Now you have middle-aged cool kids who already know their angle before walking in. This is what Gawker did to your gonzo journalism. Anyway, apparently the afterparty is where the real fun was to be had.
> Harvard Law Review thinks besieged memester Doug Mackey did nothing wrong.
>
and teamed up to tell a tragic tale of how one guy’s wealth was used to destroy civilization. Lesson here: Make lots of money, but love your kids and raise them well, because otherwise they’ll turn your conservative philanthropic effort into a cthulumaxxed nuclear-powered superyacht that only steers left.> Boy reporter
(last seen taking down Harvard’s Claudine Gay) has fashioned himself a one-man academic fraud detector, like if Batman only went after people who plagiarized or lied on their resumes, and politely asked them to explain themselves until they break down in tears. This week, our caped crusader goes after a troubled org’s overlord who seems to be fibbing about her academic accolades. Makes you wonder how much of our society is rotten with unqualified experts who’ve failed their way up the ladder based on their utility to the regime.>
guests at ’s blog, to flesh out the limits of their “reactionary feminist'“ framework across very diverse cultural backdrops.> Mary also explores the liberal urge to rage against what nature gives you.
> Arthur Hanson in Mansworld writes a charming little ode to Pre-Starbucks coffee shops, before coffee culture exploded into the mainstream and shops were reserved for bookish weirdos and hipsters.
🐦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, longread and tweet, along with lots of other banter and hijinks between issues that you won’t see on Substack. See you next time!
Steven Mnuchin has been calling around his investor friends to purchase a potentially de-Sinozied TikTok. The conservative billionaires truly only care about the bottom dollar and not, as Ted Gioia has noted, the fried, dopamine-deluged brains; amputated attention spans; or mental health of Americans.
Re: what happened to the Einsteins?
Despite decades of smartwashing of various demographics, there was a particular “pattern” to the smart kids and TPTB noticed. For whatever reason we can’t have that composition to our Smart People, so we must discourage and drug these boys into oblivion. Yes, boys.
Someday soon we’re going to wonder what happened to the people who could “fix all the problems.” Those people will just kick back and laugh at the rest of us, then go build something worthwhile on top of or away from the rubble.
