We act in the realm of ideas. How do ideas get translated into concrete actions?
Groups of men coordinate under a strong leader and on ideas. Which means that to have his team all working together, the leader needs some ideas, which he and his team get from what the Chinese call knowledge factions. We are a knowledge faction — which is to say, a rival priesthood to the one in Harvard. So we do not perform concrete actions. We cause such actions.
Reaction failed because it had no ideas, other than “we want our applecarts back” and “we want our unprincipled exceptions back”. Thus it was a multitude of different reactionary elements each focused on their own particular applecart, incapable of cohesive action, each of which was taken down by the left tightly focusing on one reactionary faction at a time.
Moldbug’s big idea was that the rule of law was a pretence covering the rule of priests, and that the leadership should blow off the priests. President Trump just sank “the rules based order”, which has governed international relations since 1948. Would he have done that, could he have done that, without Moldbug?
Of course, it is far more important to deep six the American judiciary, and as yet nothing much has been done about that. But fourteen months ago, who could have imagined that “the rules based order” would be deep sixed?
Of course we have gone beyond Moldbug in several important ways, the big ideas being that the state priesthood is demonic, and that the woman problem needs to be addressed.
And another big idea in which we have gone beyond Moldbug is that a regime does need priests. It needs, however, a friendly and supportive priesthood. The Christian Nationalist faction of Maga stands in the wings, and the Maga movement looks to it. Organised old type Christianity also waits in the wings, though as yet Gafcon’s only substantial powerbase as organised religion is, alas, in Nigeria.
Trump has taken some small steps against the state priesthood (attend to the screams of pain coming from Academia) though these steps are far, far short, of what is needed. What is needed is tanks in Harvard, and the president appointing virtuous married Christian men with well behaved children in charge. But he has at least taken a few feeble steps in the right direction.
Moldbugs big idea was to blow off the priesthood and rule without them, and now Trump has blown off the “rules based order” priesthood. But the Harvard priesthood needs replacement, and as yet, no actions have been taken in that direction — at least with regard to Harvard.
But Pete Hegseth just took decisive action to install a friendly priesthood within the military.
The woman problem remains unaddressed, and no one in power, certainly not Trump, can speak of it. But the influencers are now speaking of it. Now we hear people saying “repeal the nineteenth”
There is a whole lot of talk about young men becoming radicalized — of course they are not becoming radicalized. Their political position is, like Trump, much the same as it has been since the 1980s. It is young women who are becoming radicalised, as society fails their shit tests collectively and individually. If leftist women are not fit to marry, not fit for long-term relationships, are they fit to vote? This is not an idea whose time has come, but it is coming.
Observe that women reading “Dark Romance”, porn for women set in a world where they become absolute property of dangerous, violent, and powerful males, are primarily radical libtard women, bitter Karens who are furiously angry at all actually-existent men, supposedly because of patriarchal oppression, but actually because we endlessly fail their shit tests, so they sexually fantasize of a world where even thinking about administering a shit test would get them flogged naked through the streets. Beauty and the Beast, except that the Beast is eventually depicted, after many, many, many pages, banging Beauty like a drum.
What just happened in Minneapolis, when Jonathan Ross shot Renée Good, was a decisive step towards warrior rule. A warrior, with the backing of his chain of command, just shot a priestess, who had the backing of her chain of command. Once warrior rule becomes real, the warriors will feel the need for a friendly priesthood, and this issue is clearly on the mind of Pete Hegseth. Would he have thought that without this blog?
Well, Pete is attempting to act on it. Whether his actions are successful will depend on how far the ideas promoted in this blog have penetrated.
