#169. Gulag meemaw
Welcome to the NRP. We are curating the best of those extremely-online extremists known as the "New Right."
🧵Threads of the Week 🧵
> L’Chaim Raichik is enacting a Night of the Long QTs, calling out dozens of random folks for endorsing the attempted Trump assassination, including this dumpy, sad Home Depot grandma. Her methods triggered pushback: An appeal to mercy from
, and an unceremonious denouncement from , kickstarting an e-right spergfest at a scale not seen since World War T.Both FbF and Peachy think that we should target the powerful commissars, the ones everyone already hates, who’ve made our lives miserable, not the brainwashed cattle. Charles “NETTR” Haywood disagreed with both, insisting that examples must be made out of careless proles, regardless of their insignificance. Sometimes, the more insignificant, the more resentful. Various Carls von Clausewitz chimed in, saying that it’s a dirty job, perhaps even gay, but someone’s gotta do it. They’ve been doing worse to us for a long time, and with no mercy. We must harden our pathetic loser hearts, because we are going to have to do much meaner things than get one lady fired, and when we do it to them, they will appeal to our mercy, too. You want them to be as demoralized as post-WWII Germans.
Your old pal Dudley waded into these piranha-infested waters with a question about tactics, and a hypothetical: If you can justify taking a job from a poor-as-dirt wagecuck, who has to wear compression socks and pop a few Advil just to make it through the day, over an errant Facebook post, what’s stopping you from just gulag’ing libtards? Killing them? After all, we hate cancel culture and tattling to HR, so if we’re embrace the left’s methods, why not go all the way? Is it really just “who/whom" and “the ends justify the means” “by any means necessary?”
A common response was “nothing.” Or, only our lack of current power. We got more than a few guys talking like Marlon Brando at the end of Apocalypse Now in our replies: the libs signed up for this, sold their souls to Satan and deserve what’s coming to them. They are subhuman, ontologically evil orcs. Yes, even your mee-maw. After all, this is total war. No high ground. No limits.
Not saying the Home Depot lady shouldn’t face consequences, but I also don’t think it’s feasible or good to genocide the lib half of the country. And for this, they call Dudley a “beautiful loser.” I am “weak,” a “cuck,” “center-right,” a “right-liberal,” and perhaps most stinging of all, I am…a…”libertarian.” 😭
On to the rest of the week’s threads…
> Is JD Vance “our guy"? Judging by the digital company he keeps, many signs point to yes. He’s not perfect, but he’s close. He reads BAP. He thinks America is not just An Idea. He passes the physiognomy check and the Tucker check. And he’s just like us, for real.
> Passage Press announces their winners for art, poetry, and non-fiction. Congrats!
> The RNC is discovering its populist side.
> The Bluesky libtard containment chamber is starting to crack.
🎥A/V of the Week🎥
> Trump Assassination Survival: Anime Edition.
>
interviewed about resisting left-wing demoralization.>
and discuss the RAND Corporation.📰Reads of the Week📰
> Matthew Schmitz describes the waning support for pride in the marketplace. While that’s expected among older demographics getting woke fatigue, Gen Z may be fed up as well. The conflict between supporting homosexuality or racial ideology may be the undoing of the pride streak.
> The alt and dissident right have a generational gap.
describes the upper-class education of millennials may be the factor keeping them from becoming full dissidents. Their brush with atheism, elitism, and the 2010s internet defines their liberal convictions. Zoomers can either set it straight or go full cringe.
> Compact got raided by the feds. Not that Compact.
reports how hate speech legislation isn’t a right-wing meme. The German state has authorized the removal of Compact due to their support for the AfD, a party facing backlash for its dissident views. Magazines radicalizing the youth? What year is it? Eugyppius shares the story in gruesome detail as draconian weight is put on German dissidents.
> The leftist activists who argued for free speech on behalf of all may have been Machiavellian after all.
reminds us that they aren’t law-abiding constitutionalists addressing minority groups, they’re trying to impose values on others and replace morality itself. With the opposition motivated to ban speech, the right can be either authoritative or get replaced.
>
indicts democracy with receipts. What may be easy to forget is not the tribal warfare that becomes of the polis once everyone gets approval. Instead, it’s important not to let intellectuals rationalize the Particular Will as being better than the General Will. His example of autonomous Russian banks frames the discourse about democracy abroad. In the multicultural cage match, no one wins except the managers.
> Zaid Jilani explains the popularity of Donald Trump’s VP Pick. JD Vance defined the populist shift for the party and his escape from poverty allows him to speak authoritatively about the white working class. A demographic that gets shunned by the same critics putting Vance on defense. The question is not if Trump’s admin will be based, but how based could it get.
>
reviews Eric Kaufmann’s latest book about wokeism. He contrasts Kaufmann’s thesis with James Lindsey and Chris Rufo’s obsession with Marxism. Moreover, Arctos provides constructive criticism on applying real dissident thought into this new genre of reactionary commentary including Ernst Nolte's historicism and stepping outside boomer narratives. Also, don’t use elite theory to doomscroll when you can use it to be the new counter-elite.
>
describes the difference between the Italians and the Americans, both often abandoning their national identity for other ambitions. This lack of collective homogeneity may bring people down in times of struggle. However, optimism has been a defining character on both sides of the political spectrum in the New World. If Trump isn’t pessimistic after the attempted assassination, why are you?
> What can explain the decline of the West from Westerners themselves?
breaks down the greatest hits of DEI, climate destruction, and the acceptance of taboos. The professional class thinks they’re being more tolerant by trying to impress the popular crowd in their class. And so, the policies they approve represent their need for social approval and create wedges between the society that has to live with their proposals.
> The David McGowan conspiracy talk may destroy the right. Whereas they often inspire imagination, the attempted assassination of Trump has shown the limits of it. We’re not getting closer to the culprits or a broader view of history. Instead, it’s QAnon for the DR.
breaks down how psyops can trick the right into chasing tangents and allows influencers to take skepticism in the wrong direction.

Good to see who is coming out as too limp wristed to fight though.
Those who are considering showing mercy to the libs when the tables have turned. Have you received a SINGLE apology from anyone over any of the hundreds of ways we have been vindicated?
You haven't, because they're not sorry. In fact, they are not even done. We have not even won yet. We have five minutes of success and suddenly we act like we should apply the mercy rule?
No, make every solitary person affiliated with the left feel serious consequences until they relent or expatriate. We can't live with these people.
