German Self-Assertion and a New Consensus

21st December 2022

Read it.

The Green movement in Germany advocates a contradictory socio-political agenda. On the one hand, they affirm an absolute individualism that celebrates self actualization for innumerable, biologically non-existent gender variants, and on the other hand, they push for a globalist policy of mandated tolerance. However, despite this contradiction, it is safe to say that it logically follows that the movement opposes all intermediary institutions, from the family to the nation-state, religion to Western culture.

This is why environmentalists, who were first and foremost anti-capitalists, fully came into their own in the fight against global climate change. They find the West’s traditional understanding of the balance between the individual and the community ‘disgusting’ because it stands in the way of both a radical unleashing of the individual and the enactment of globalist fantasies.

According to the Green movement, any policy oriented towards the survival of humanity, consumer interests, and even of the socially weak, is morally illegitimate if it harms the ecosphere. Instead, this ideology cultivates a megalomaniacal sense of responsibility towards humanity in the abstract; ironically this sentiment relieves globalists of any responsibility for local and concrete concerns.

Why Many Conservatives Won’t Be With Their Children or Grandchildren This Christmas

20th December 2022

Read it.

There are probably hundreds of thousands of men and women who, because of political differences, maintain minimal or no contact with their parents and, even more cruelly, do not allow their parents to have any contact with their children—their parents’ grandchildren.

Probably an unprecedented number of Americans with grown children will be alone this Christmas because their children will neither visit them nor invite them for the holiday dinner.

In some rare instances of horrific parental behavior, this may be excusable, but when the reason is politics, it is inexcusable.

This is a huge bugaboo for Dennic Prager.

Welcome to the New Rome

12th December 2022

ZMan pulls back the curtain.

A feature of professional Christianity is to not only abandon a fellow Christian attacked by the enemies of the faith, but to also rush to the front of the line of bigots taking turns kicking the accused. Here is the execrable Rod Dreher taking some self-righteous shots at Thomas Achord. Like David French, Rod Dreher never misses an opportunity to promote his own virtue. He is who Emerson had in mind when he said, “The more he spoke of his virtue, the faster we counted the spoons.”

Note that Christian mercy never comes up when the Left starts howling for the blood of a Christian accused of violating the progressive faith. Professional Christians are like a pack of wild dogs. As soon as they sense a member of the pack is weak, they pounce on the poor fellow, tearing him to pieces. One cannot help but wonder if this behavior is solely to please the Left. Many of them, like Dreher and French, seem to take pleasure in these sadistic rituals.

Of course, the reason that professional Christians rush out these condemnations whenever one of their own has violated progressive dogma is to let the people holding the other end of the leash know they are a good boy. For professional Christians, what matters is remaining in good standing with the Left. These ritualized condemnations are a public act of piety – progressive piety. It is an affirmation that Christian piety must always rest on the moral foundations of the Left.

Still Against the ‘Dead Consensus’

7th December 2022

Read it.

In the aftermath of the Republican Party’s recent midterm elections debacle, right-liberal sharks are circling. These devoted acolytes of what a prominent 2019 First Things manifesto called the American Right’s “dead consensus” think they see blood in the water. Indeed, the “dead consensus” praetorian guard has apparently decided that now is the time for a counterattack against the more nationalist- and populist-inclined forces of what has broadly been dubbed the “New Right.” A recent anti-national conservatism fusillade from The Federalist‘s David Harsanyi is reflective of the broader subgenre.

The opportunistic timing of this ascendant strand of argumentation is as obvious as its logic is facile. The basic argument is: Trump the individual is largely inextricable from the substantive political commitments of the “New Right”; Trump was primarily responsible for the GOP’s ballot box losses last month; therefore the “New Right” is at “best” vicariously responsible itself, and at “worst” is merely hurting badly. Either way, Republicans’ midterm election disappointments present for beleaguered right-liberals a perfect opportunity to turn the tables and go on the offensive.
