@Nemets I agree about the investigation, problem is if done by Dem's--"no guilt found!" If done by Republicans, "Bullying! Witch hunt! Tyranny!"
We're in a really tough spot, here
The only answer is for Republicans to fight back with all legal powers and positions while ignoring the media's spin on it all
Any move the R's make will be portrayed as a tyrannical apocalypse by the media--the R's must get over that. Nothing effective can be done until the R's get over their media representation
When the R's do nothing but roll over the people feel powerless--which is bad..
Not to mention if the R's are constrained by media representation then our government has essentially failed in its duty and possibly its legitimacy
@Reinhard Wolff regarding private universities: is non-invasive flyering like putting business cards in library books still off-limits?
Eh, I'd just be careful with it honestly
Wouldn't advise it
understood, thanks!
unless you wanna shell out for a lawyer like I did, I would personally heavily advise against it
oof. good point
@Flint A lot of California newspapers poke fun at how the Republican Party is virtually extinct in this state. What they fail to realize is that if all the white conservatives packed up their bags and left, California would collapse within a few years.
ugh I guess I'll just have to redecorate all the neighboring towns again 😄
@Alex Kolchak - NY you hit alot of the same cultural references I do in this movement.
@Papa Pizzagate how so?
You read alot of reactionary lit?
oh
@Nemets Do you have any data on that?
You've mentioned NRX stuff Talib, other things that I can't recall at the moment
I dabble. I read Social Matter and Jacobite when I can, I like Myth20c, etc
wouldn't say I'm well-versed by any means
also learned a lot from reading Christopher Lasch and James Burnham, who aren't NRx but touched on a few of the themes well before NRx was a thing
Interesting.
I should check it out
Anything you might recommend?
"The Culture of Narcissism" by Lasch
very famous book on the American mindset in the 1970s
@Nemets I'm not sure if white people in California can be persuaded to vote Republican.
which was very prescient in my opinion
NRx, eh? I like monarchism ironically. It is the least threatening of the LARPs, and therefore easiest to indulge in, and also the least fruitful. Beats MMOs I guess.
yeet
and then Burnham's "The Managerial Revolution"
@Wood-Ape - OK/MN It's not a fully fleshed out ideology, or a complete worldview in my mind.
the general ideas and some especially some of the speakers are rather profound.
~~speakers~~ * thinkers
@Papa Pizzagate True. Japan and Ireland and Spain and India all had monarchs bit radically different systems.
@Nemets We can only hope.
I see your strikethrough
I cited Social Matter in an essay about Culture of Narcissism and got a "this is interesting" from my liberal (but very smart) history professor
the fire rises
I'll check it out. I'd heard the name before, but never read it myself.
