This comment is typical (((FrontPage Magazine))) retardation:

The entire WEst are sleepwalking into national suicide and only red state America with its spirit of armed independence can resist this fatal siren song , but they can only do so by divorcing their deranged blue state brethren as they are shackled to a corpse ; or as the great Mark Steyn is want to say'' I used to worry there'd be a Civil War, but now I worry there wont be !''

Yes, all those obese boomers with erectile dysfunction will save America from the evil DemoKKKrats! Neocohen grifters like Mark Steyn are so great!

The absolute state of the American right...

I'm not personally familiar with the website, but I immediately got the impression that it's the typical 'Right-liberal' nonsense which passes for the pathetic 'American Right'. I, of course, cannot really see these people as anything other than 'less Left-liberal'.

One notices that there are a few characteristics of people of that nature, who fit on the Right-Libertarian quadrant of the political spectrum (where the likes of Friedman, Nozick, and Rothbard are the intellectual influences). For example, the 'state' effectively plays the same role as the 'bourgeoisie' in Marxism, as the sort of arch-nemesis which all ideologies have to varying degrees. However, this anti-authoritarianism is so extreme that it even extends even to things like mere taxation ('taxation is theft!'), and often even to the sort of 'ACAB', 'F12', 'Fuck The Police' attitude which is where they laughably share something in common with the very same Antifa they proclaim to hate so much. They often conflate Communism, less individualistic forms of conservatism and Fascism, which they tie in with 'despotism', 'statism' and 'tyranny'.

In addition, they also share blatantly contradictory views, for example, their belief in the primacy of the individual clearly clashes with their belief in 'family values'. I would love to have these people answer a simple question: What are the building blocks of society? Individuals? Or families? They'd all be squirming, realizing that they've been cornered, but because they're actually liberal at heart, they'd obviously answer with the former and thus seriously damage their 'conservative' credentials. After all, their answer would be exactly the same as that of their supposed enemies, the 'progressives', who are actually far closer to them than they are willing to admit.

Jews are always for anti statism and against formalized sovereign power so the sources of power and influence can be hidden. Even marxism is an anti statist mass democracy ideology. The totalitarian nature of its application results from the falseness of its ideals and not suprisingly the Jews lost their power within the Soviet state structure unlike in Western democracies.

The integration into the Right of anti government and anti authority ideology as a virtue is one of its worst corruptions. This is very much a part of conservatism not just libertarianism. It makes no distinction between bad authority or good authority and sees the State as inherently an enemy who is a threat. This is a degenerate mentality and the fact that this dominates modern Rightwing thinking is why it is so weak.

The integration into the Right of anti government and anti authority ideology as a virtue is one of its worst corruptions.

Indeed. Whatever the dominant ideology is within any given physical space pulls all lesser ideologies also within it in its own direction. For example, nationalism in a liberal society becomes warped into a civic nationalism which compatibilizes it with less extreme forms of liberalism. And conservatism in a liberal society becomes warped into the liberalism of that society but with a few years or decades removed. In effect, everything simply becomes a branch of liberalism and lesser and less a full-fledged ideology of its own.

That particular general anti-government, anti-authority ideology has far more in common with anarchism and Marxism than with what Americans call paleoconservatism, which is why it seems senseless to call libertarianism genuinely 'Right-wing'. If we define 'Right-wing' as anti-authoritarianism itself, as libertarians are wont to do, then anarchism becomes Far-Right rather than Far-Left, and we are left with a totally nonsensical political spectrum.

For me, America has never had an actual Right-wing: after all, it was America's very Founders who came up with what now tends to be called 'libertarianism'. The term that they prior used, liberal, was simply taken from them by the far more powerful 'progressive' strand of liberalism, and hence those whose liberalism was trapped in the time of the Founders needed a new label to go by.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" is perhaps one of the greatest quotes of that ideology. I would add to what you have mentioned in your second paragraph, that anti-authoritarianism is for these people an end in itself. They don't see liberty as a means towards something substantive like a potentially higher level of creativity, and they do not see the lack thereof as a means towards something substantive like consolidating social structures. Instead, they dogmatically defend liberty even when it harms them, as in the case of all the 'woke' nonsense clearly being justified and enabled through liberal dogmas. It is similar to how some libertarians endlessly go on about a decline in theistic belief and how 'one nation under God' isn't really a thing anymore, woefully unable to understand that it is precisely their very own value of liberty that allowed people to choose to reject theistic belief in the first place.

The libertarian cope for the phenomenon of 'wokeness' is essentially to posit that its cause is precisely the opposite of what it is: no longer is 'wokeness' a consequence of excessive liberty; it is a consequence of some sort of Communist/Fascist tyrannical plot to destroy liberty. So, rather than accepting progressivism as being a descendant of, or innovation on, their own ideology, they predictably choose instead to lump it in with their old time enemies. Their worldview is essentially that progressivism is also right up there with Communism, Fascism, and more illiberal conservatisms like American paleoconservatism, that is, as enemies of liberty. Of the four ideologies I mentioned, they will never accept that the pursuit of liberty actually has a strong causal role in the creation of both progressivism and Communism. I think the only difference between them is that, unlike libertarians, also accord a high value to equality, and much of the 'tyranny' involved in the two is the consequence of the inherent mutual contradictions between the two ideals, i.e. of the free society and the equal society. When the latter prevails over the former as is often the case, then you indeed have a tyranny in practice: wealth redistribution and so forth necessitates a large government.

Have you ever read Francis Parker Yockey's writings on America? If not you might be interested as he really dives into the nature of America and why it is the way that it is. I think he is one our causes greatest writers and doesn't get the attention he deserves.

Here is his whole section about America from the book "Imperium" - https://rentry.co/Americanism

They can never stop seeing the world as red vs blue, democrat vs republican because this the way the media portray the world. As the system decays political party division because more passionate and extreme but the overall mob democratic culture cannot not see outside the political party drama because they have no reference in analyzing politics outside it.
