This statement about women on the right is so freaking ignorant that its borderline disqualifying for commenting on the subject. Seriously, tell me you know nothing about the history of the right without telling me you know nothing about the history of the right. These books are just 2 examples.

Douthat: Let's talk about who we're talking about beyond the specific media figures and influencers. My friend Rod Dreher got, let's say, a lot of attention for quoting someone telling him that 30 to 40 percent of younger Republicans working in politics in Washington, D.C., like Nick Fuentes. I have a little skepticism of that statistic. The fact that half of Republican Capitol Hill staffers are women, I think, alone should give you some reason to be skeptical. But do you see this as a phenomenon of younger conservatives and right wingers? Do you see it as a phenomenon of an audience that wasn't antisemitic being activated or drawn in a particular direction? What are we talking about in terms of the scale of interest in antisemitism?
Hazony: I think the numbers are wrong, but I think the analysis is basically right. It's young people who are subjected to savage antisemitic messaging all the time.

Sixteen months ago Hazony had this guy (known for his history of puckishly inserting the numbers 14 and 88 into his tweets) speak at his marquee conference. Shocked to learn there’s antisemitism in my movement!

If this isn't fascist rhetoric, then I don't know what is. This is from Posobiec's speech. I don't think I've ever seen so many different euphemisms for "Jews" in such a short piece of writing.

If they are gonna hold J6 investigations to target patriots, then we will hold investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington. I seem to remember a senator from Wisconsin telling us that communists were infiltrating our government. And you know what? He was exactly right.
We don't negotiate with globalist neo-Marxists. We don't negotiate with the political version of an auto-immune disease. In a word, ladies and gentlemen— taken from the title of my book—we don't negotiate with un-humans. Because that's the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity. Populist nationalists versus atheist Marxist globalists. Strength, beauty, and genius versus weakness, ugliness, and stupidity. Civilization versus barbarism. Crime and chaos versus law and order...
Law and order is the only thing that makes freedom possible. We come to restore law and order, not to knock it down. We do that because we understand that when civilization ends, the result

We believe that each nation-state within the new West has a unique cultural heritage that must be preserved and celebrated. We recognize that the strength of our collective identity lies in the richness of our individual cultures. To that end, we will implement policies that respect and uphold our national character, and this includes regulating migration in a way that preserves our cultural identities and our social fabric. By managing migration thoughtfully, we can welcome some —maybe, net zero-who seek to contribute to our societies while safeguarding the essence of that which makes our nation unique.
And we will work together. This is our national destiny. We will continue the civilizational project that was bequeathed to us by our forefathers. This is our duty.
This is our responsibility. Together we will build a future where our collective strength from our nation-states, many of which are gathered here today, leads us to unprecedented heights— to the stars and beyond them, as is

These are just like Hitler’s polling numbers 1-2-5 years after the end of WWII.

35% still supported him and thought the Jews got what they deserved.

Read sections 28-35 of US Army polling in Occupied Germany 1945-1950.

The fact I found most telling was Washington was a huge investor in Indian lands west of Appalachians - kind of an early Musk or Thiel. At end of French & Indian war, London banned Brit subjects from pioneering west of Appalachians to keep peace, threatening George’s investment. Pissed George off.
