This is great stuff. Very few get it. The overproduction of elites that Turchin noted as the driver of cliodynamic cycles ... the coming churn of social chaos ... the necessity of a new, true elite ... it is only on the Dissident Right that young men have pursued the path, have heeded the call to Become Worthy.

Great work, fren.

I've resisted the urge to move over to Gab because of just how negative many of the posters are. Also, as you mentioned, this is a fringe subculture - one that I've spent a decade in myself. But now, I feel the need to branch off into different subcultures to gather fresh ideas and perspectives. Maybe it's worth checking back in to see how things have changed.

Because of the censorship, we've been ghettoized. This seems to have helped solidify the subculture at the expense of us being able to engage with wider audiences. The gap between us and normies continues to widen. It's almost as if we speak two different languages at this point. On the one hand, it's comfy. On the other hand, it's alienating.

Just sharing some of my thoughts. I enjoy your writing style. It's terse and doesn't feel the need to rely on overwrought prose. You come off as a writer confident enough in his own ideas that he doesn't need to embellish or bedazzle at the expense of clarity and emotional punch.

I must caution against divinizing literature. Stories are okay but they are not, and cannot be, the purpose of life. They serve, as a tool for understanding, and that is not wrong but neither is it holy. Some stories (most) are mere entertainment and that shouldn't be condemned either but it resembles sugar in the diet of life. Shouldn't have that much of it.
