I generally think it's productive to challenge the left on their home turf, the more the better, but IMO some of his "we are the real anti-colonialists" takes go a bit too far. It's a risky tactic, because if anyone challenges him on it he will have to commit resources to "anti-colonial causes" on principle rather than as a matter of pragmatism. This is all understandable if you are familiar with the background of the Irish nationalist current, but personally I am of the opinion that that current goes way too far left. At times it's difficult for me to understand how he can reconcile some of his opinions with his professed admiration for Traditionalism.

Evola was also against modern imperialism.

Yes, that is true, but he also spoke against the anti-colonial protest movement of the time. There's a lot of moral and ideological baggage that some people view as an advantage in getting the drop on liberals, but what it actually does is just distract from the core issue a lot of the time. I also oppose imperialism today, but that's because it's harmful for literally everyone on the planet except for corporatocratic elites. In principle, there is no "moral argument" that can really tackle imperialism, since in that context might makes right and no human rights rhetoric can change that. Palestinians are a textbook example of a people who are displaced from their own land simply because their opponents are more powerful than them.

Why would we be forced to be against imperialism on principle just because we support national liberation for whites and opposes merchant colonialism? Also the argument is rather simple and it's been around nationalist circles forever, you just do the 'self determination for all groups' 'a homeland for every race' 'Africa for Africans, Europe for Europeans' kinda bit.

I am familiar with that argument, I just think that occasionally some people take it further and run the risk of turning anti-colonialism into an end in itself. Most of Keith's comments on anti-colonialism are well balanced but a handful of them seem to run into excess. That's my opinion, at any case.

One of the few figures I follow closely and support. I notice those who produce superior content don't tend to get as much views and following as many lower quality creators in the Alt/Dissident Right. I like how he strongly emphasis the main role capitalism plays in the current state of the West.

I am glad he has taken a break from twitter because he was engaging in a lot of dumb drama that seemed out of character for him.

Agreed. It honestly lowered my opinion of him by quite a bit.

    I don't have an advanced view on this topic. What's your criticism of his take on materialism if you don't mind.

      Something must be eternal. Anything thing can give rise of something from nothing would mean that the state of nothingness never existed in the first place because there would be some Law that allows something to be created from nothing. A true state of nothingness would mean eternal nothingness and nonexistence. Therefore there must be some form of forces that are not created but are eternal and blindly give rise to material which then gives rise to consciousness. This would apply even if there was a multiverse, there would be forces that give rise the multiverse or the multiverse itself is enteral.

      Any concept of eternal defies our rational understanding of existence. We just apply God like eternal and creative properties to blind forces which seems more rational than believing consciousness itself is the enteral element to existence. The belief that consciousness to be fundamental doesn't mean enteral consciousness is a Godlike being with its own sense of self.

      I may be incorrect on this but isn't a multiverse self-negating. I don't know much on it but isn't the idea it about infinite possibilities? If that's the case then wouldn't one of those possibilities be where some entity destroys all the multiverses?

      [–]JuliusCaesar225Nationalist + Socialist 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

      Wouldn't an infinite multiverse that is truly infinite also have universes where God/Gods exist?

      [–]Nombre27 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

      Yeah, that's possible. But wouldn't it just take one to make it kaput?

      [–]JuliusCaesar225Nationalist + Socialist 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

      I wasn't disagreeing with what you said. I was just pointing out that the multiverse concept which is used to explain how our universe could be organized in a way that gives rise to life without "God" doesn't succeed in doing so.

      Okay, gotcha, thank you for clarifying.

      Top lad

      He has a few takes I don't like and associates with a few people I'm nott oo fond of, but his views and open association with Mosleyists and the like is extremely based. He also attacks subjects which I've never really put thought into and explains them very well. The only worry I have is that he and his ilk will be taken down and his work lost like many others who have shared fascist, third positionist, or other such views (even rather mildly)

      Does he not have Katehon and Russian connections?

      [–]Minedwe 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

      If he has Russia connection then based. I have no clue what Katehon is, but I highly doubt he has any "connections" or anything, he's just a guy that makes videos. Accurate ones, at that.

      I like him, and why not as he's smart, (self?)educated and opinionated. However, Keith probably overestimated his role. Any form of revolution will only receive the slightest of pushes from philosophers. The grandest argument for "thinkers" usually comes from commies and socialists who cite a number of amusing ancedotes about small circles of nerds who built ideas that culminated in the great revolutions, upheavals and wars of the 20th c. However, Alt Righters should know better because we know that ultimately these "worker" uprisings were ethnically motivated shadow revolutions.

      Philosophy can help with context and to some degree even meaning. The real fight unfolding will be rather straight, brutish, and as non-intellectual as it gets. "A thousand plateaus" will be less relevant than Spider Man comics because the enemy has managed to wrap everything into a narrational blanket that beats rationality every time. Spider Man smashes the Nazis like Hercules defeats Amtæus, acting out of time and place as a reoccuring mythological pattern that unites divine justice and telluric struggle and breathes identity into morally and spiritually deprived drones.

      Keith is good. Subscribe and click "thumbs up". He is just an attractor, though.

      He just did a great video on Evola.

      Found Keith about a year ago, one of the smartest and most insightful thinkers in dissident politics. I watch his videos the moment they're released. Sometimes twice, dude is too smart I have a hard time keeping up on some topics.

      He gets in hot water by people who don't understand nuance because he entertains ideas and thinks outside of the box. It's an easy way to spot morons.
