You're trading low IQ enemies like the blacks for high IQ hostile foreigners such as Indians and Asians, who are against woke because it ultimately affects their group. My experiences with them from my line of work has shown me they have nothing but disdain for the European.
There's still a divide between classical liberals and true utilitarians. The utilitatians support open borders. The loss to your country is supposedly less than the gain to the immigrants. Also things like Basic Income and gibs. Taking from the moderately wealthy to give to the lazy supposedly maximizes average happiness.
MechaBentham will decide the optimal policy is to pack ten trillion human units into your economic zone like sardines. With endless taxpayer subsidized VR experiences.
If this is what winning against wokies feels like, I'd rather lose.
Cramming in like sardines is less about average happiness and more about growing the market to sell more things while simultaneously reducing wages of everyone except asset owners
Just note that the accidentally Luciferian crypto-Marxist DrParvinizzle has as one of his loss conditions for America: "a renewed focus on God and Christianity".
It's not necessarily a loss condition, but "a renewed focus on God and Christianity" won't do us any good in the current world historical situation because racial issues must be addressed first.
Almost nobody in the west genuinely religious at this point anyway.
Musk and co. are businessmen at heart, and activism is bad for business. They'll never become activists for the right like corporations are activists for the left.
Nevertheless, if they are able to purge left-wing activism, it creates a vacuum for new ideas - our ideas.
I know i'm late, but that book spoke to my soul. I was confused when I saw the popular concensus was he's a warmonger and a psycho.. Then I realized it's because modern men hate a true warrior like Jünger.
You walk through a door and it all of a sudden it locks behind you. A Mechanical voice booms in the distance, “Do you want to play a game?” You do not.
You are stunned and stand still as though you are hiding your very presence. A 7ft tall mecha-clown appears and lurches towards you. Do you:
A. Bang and scream against the iron-clad door hoping to escape?
B. Jump towards the savage claws of the mecha-clown in hope of dealing damage to it’s fleshy bits? With the clown defeated you can make a better decision in this scenario.
C. Escape from the clown’s embrace and seek a new door or window to flee from? Perhaps you will get back or somewhere better through a different door.
The argument against returning to the 90s, is the 90s just led us exactly to where we were today. It's not a stable endpoint. Sure, the safeguards might be stronger this time if we can go back, as we're more keenly aware of where it can lead, but they'll eventually erode, and sooner or later the slippery slope has us again.
Mecha-Bentham would be "make GDP line go up" codified into ultimate authority. Unless someone was sensible enough to program it with better parameters for what actual human flourishing looks like, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
It is clear Jordan Peterson has very liberal views which are incorrect, like his merit based system and worship of individualism. Do not discount him fully, for his work in the symbolic world is very, very important and is helping re-enchant the world.
It's quite a bleak picture painted here. However, I would rather this than plane doors flying off and whites being excluded from jobs on racial grounds. Under this regime perhaps, dissidents may be able to be a bit more louder than is permitted now.
A certain contingent on the right will be disappointed by this., i.e, the ones who actually want woke to intensify in order to precipitate the sort of societal collapse out of which they can forge the world more to their liking. These are doomed to be fringe though, because:
a) Christians and their "successor" Kantian Humanists can't countenance this, as it would transgress the Golden Rule by deliberately wishing for the suffering on those in the here and now in the vague hope that their "sacrifice" will produce something better
b) they're just a bunch of cosplay Vikings, at the end of the day
Oh, and of course we will be hearing a lot about " " "Judeo"-Christian" culture" from now on - this random association of 2 of the 3 Abrahamic faiths to the exclusion of the other which, of course, currently represents the main, perhaps only challenge to the liberal order, at least in the West.
Ultimately the retvrn of Fresh Prince would also mask the process of permanent demographic change. A purely meritocratic regime outlook would worsen the issue of H-1B immigration in America and whatever similar program you have in Britain, growing the new subcontinental striver class while shrinking resources and energy toward developing native talent.
There is hope, though, that Elon and others will see the value in making citizenship meaningful and advantageous to citizens over non-citizens at the very least. He has said things along those lines.
There’s also hope that liberalism is just a halfway point on Elon’s intellectual journey, and that he is one of many sensitive young men in the libertarian-to-based pipeline.
Wokeness has proven itself to be the enemy of progress and must be eliminated on those grounds. Ultimately our destiny lies in the stars not in a Trumpton that never was Hobbit Hovel simulacra Truman Show LARP.
Mecha-Bentham will import India as it would reduced labour rates in the middle class while bringing in new intellectual labour to increase productivity. Then would import more Africans for menial labour to keep those labour costs low. Utilitarianism isn't your friend
Everyone with any voice or resources in normal society seems stuck in a social model that has already been dead and discredited for a couple decades now.
Storytelling is one way to reinforce or realign people's deeply held assumptions.
I tried my own hand at writing a series of novellas, all part of the same larger story that presuppose the burgeoning right wing view. The result is on Amazon.
Right on point AA as usual.
Even when "wokeness" is put away,
You're trading low IQ enemies like the blacks for high IQ hostile foreigners such as Indians and Asians, who are against woke because it ultimately affects their group. My experiences with them from my line of work has shown me they have nothing but disdain for the European.
Not disdain. Jealousy
Why not both? 🤷
You're right, it is possible for the deluded to feel both emotions - otherwise they are mutually exclusive
“Meritocracy” = soulless oriental bug man rote memorization. We must judge on IRON WILL and SPIRIT

Exactly. It's all about sustaining consumerism.

This must be the 3rd or 4th shark-jump?

White pill: has there ever been a time when Burnham, Lasch, Jünger et al. were so popular? Anti-/post-liberal reaction isn't going away in a hurry.
I use a copy of Storm and Steel as a dog whistle on my book shelf. I’ve made so many based friends from that book.
I know i'm late, but that book spoke to my soul. I was confused when I saw the popular concensus was he's a warmonger and a psycho.. Then I realized it's because modern men hate a true warrior like Jünger.
If you are referring to the WW1 memoir by Ernst Jünger, the title is Storm of Steel.
Oh no I hastily mistyped the title of a book I own! My deepest apologies for my grave error, you pompous halfwit

If that is all Peterson did nobody would have a problem with him. It's by far the best thing he does, I agree.

Force of habit

"Based Elon" supports massively expanding legal immigration which means H-1B
I take it all back
Mecha-Bentham doesn't sound too bad.
Wokeness has proven itself to be the enemy of progress and must be eliminated on those grounds. Ultimately our destiny lies in the stars not in a Trumpton that never was Hobbit Hovel simulacra Truman Show LARP.
Embrace technology. Embrace progress.

What you describe is not liberalism, it is a hierarchical meritocracy. No equality, as no one is equal.
Everyone with any voice or resources in normal society seems stuck in a social model that has already been dead and discredited for a couple decades now.

The Disciples of Dissent https://a.co/d/f8CI0AP
Roughly,
-the first novella deconstructs feminism and the girl boss trope.
-the second deals with the diversity coalition
-the third more with meta underpinnings of the left such as hedonism and anti-natalism.
