#163. Christians vs. Vitalists
Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week🧵
> Whew lad, is there any stronger indication that dissident ideas are spreading than the Heritage Foundation advocating mass deportation?
> The left has no philosophy, only pathology.
> Strong Towns explains how the housing market is far from free, resulting in top-down planning and its tragic unintended consequences for communities.

is taking potshots at , accusing him of being groyper-adjacent. Auron, refusing to let it slide, hit his ass with a series of ratios.> Restless right-wing Substackers are feuding. Nietzschean vitalists like
and think that many Christian thinkers in the dissident sphere are a bunch of religious fanatics who won’t ever amount to anything because they, for example, can’t let go of abortion. Christians like and meanwhile, think these libertines are basically a bunch of crypto-leftists who have no principles or moral vision, and that right-wing thought must be animated by the transcendent, the eternal. John’s disavowed the DR, Walt’s poking fun, is planting his feet not on the right or left, but a secret third thing:

hit, and they’ve done everything right. Keyed Energy is a based energy drink that doesn’t have all the nasty ingredients like the other guys’ drinks, like black mold. Pre-order now.🎥A/V of the Week🎥
NRP Cub Reporter Ace helped out this week with A/V and Reads. Thanks Ace!

📰Reads of the Week📰
>
gets personal with advice for young men. Childhood trauma, big and small, can result in erratic, self-destructive behavior. Those who surrender to the jaded version of themselves won’t reap lasting rewards in friendships or marriages, while those who can overcome pride and self-pity can build something worthwhile.
>
at pitched an alternative ethics system for the boys. In grade school, the gist of how to be accepted is to be their version of “nice.” However, The Prince can radicalize would-be theater kids into Machiavellians.
>
addresses the philosophy of viral TikToker Lilly Gaddis. In the wake of all the discourse about her popularity, he argues that politics isn’t popular kids versus nerds. Instead, those who didn’t become class president make up a large spectrum of people who found interests outside of class. Classroom war, not a class war.
> Richard Tseng from Man’s World Magazine describes the escape from nihilism with Ernst Junger’s novel Eumeswil. The protagonist represents the Nietzchean man who addresses the modern state. None of this sanitized Orwell or Huxley take on dystopia, Junger goes full dissident on liberal democracy and its effect on the population. An anti-anarchist survival guide.
> The woes of diversity wage on.
from Magazine describes the seductive appeal of multiculturalism. After losing its merit-based context, its modern definition amounts to distributing resources from the historic American populace and transferring them to minority groups. Is this ok?
> The left demands that economics must be prioritized instead of immigration when it comes to housing.
argues that the waves of people need a place to stay and more houses aren’t going to change that incentive. Instead, a moratorium would restrain the managerial state.
>
reviews a documentary about the dire traits of rural white America called Red, White, and Wasted, displaying the state of flyover types dealing with hollowed-out communities. The hedonistic excesses express themselves with sex, drugs, and wiggerdom.
>
’s review of Renee DiResta's "Invisible Rulers" doesn’t disappoint. The legacy media propaganda line projects its insecurities onto the discourse and tries to gatekeep dissident media from legitimacy. By Renee’s definition, the most mild outliers in independent journalism don’t get a seat at the table due to their capacity to garner a rabid fanbase. Hey, that’s us!
> Brendan McNamara from
shares concerning trends from West Africa. If the war wasn’t enough, the effect on migration may be a concern for Americans becoming aware of their burgeoning population boom. Moreover, the U.S. military may be invested in stabilizing the region with PMCs to prevent competition. If that sounds too far-fetched, it’s worth remembering that regime change has a rough track record in places north of that region. Surely, the Pentagon has learned its lesson, right?
> When the Spaniards challenged the French out of Florida, lots of religious stuff went down. Matthew Pearson in
describes the competing interests between Catholicism, Protestantism, and the Native Americans. After settling the land, religious unity was possible… at least for a while.

Wrote a piece in regard to the Christian vs so called "vitalist" thing. Some people really need to close their computers from time to time. We have real issues to deal with, leave religion to the side somewhat...
