Modernity is forgetting. We don't need the expertise to develop new solutions, just the wisdom to remember what we already know.

I think we need to get rid of Social Security not only for the financial health of the country, but for the health of our souls. The New Dealers were evil geniuses in the way they framed SS funding. Now the sense of entitlement the aged have for "what I paid for" is alienating.
If male disenfranchisement would end abortion I would support it 100%, but even staunchly pro-life women are offended by the idea of repealing the 19th amendment because they view male/female relations in terms of a competition. This is a fundamental problem of modernity.
I don't really know much about Nick Fuentes, but this Media Matters hit piece is not going to change my mind. No one can question the prudence of 19th amendment? Revoking it would save 1 million babies a year, but I guess Feminism and "Progress" are more important.
Would you rather lose elections or have "conservative" perverted by a bunch of effeminate, neurotic Liberals, who need everyone to public denounce everything they don't like. Would you ever demand someone denounce something. We are now the "In this house we believe" party.
Obamacare, Civil Rights Act, Labor Relations Act, food stamps, 19th amendment, etc... These are all massive wins for the Left on many levels simultaneously, inevitably grow over time, and are almost impossible to get rid of once enacted.
How ought the Right plan to respond?
Social Security simultaneously:
-upended social/family structures.
-removed the sense of responsibility to past/future generations.
-created broad entitlement.
-demanded constant IRS revenue growth.
-made entrepreneurship costly.
-took control of a massive chunk of liquid assets
Only about 1/5 of the houses on my block are handing out candy. We are all born with a responsibility to the common good, which demands distributing Halloween candy. Let the eggings commence until a sense of shame returns.
Only the Right could be handed a political mandate in a culture that is morally/metaphysically done with the Left and decide, now is the time to go back to the milquetoast Whiggery that failed for a century.
Ben Shapiro Thursday Night: They said Watermelon People, we must disown them. Denigrating a group of people based on stereotypes is disgusting and evil.
Ben Shapiro Monday Morning: Look at all those lame white people who can't dance and like bad music because they're white.
Now is an especially good time to remember that the reason mainstream Conservativism never conserved anything is because it didn't want to, and the whole reason for its existence was pushing actual conservatives into obscurity. Usually by calling them Nazis and racists...
If it's a question of gatekeeping I'll the guys who make a few off-color jokes before the pro LGB, pro divorce, feminist liars and calumnizers who voted straight Democrat until 5 minutes ago and now want to return to the left-wing pseudo-morality of 6 minutes ago.
It's funny that in the same way Leftists ruin cities and then bring their bankrupt ideas to the places they colonize and destroy, they also take their bankrupt ideas with them when they change political philosophies. The Right is now oddly concerned about "dog whistles".
The trajectory of the average "Principled Conservative"
2008: Hope and Change
2012: Socially liberal, fiscally conservative.
2016: Actually more of a Classical Liberal.
2020: I didn't leave the Left the Left left me.
2024: MAGA
2025: I am the authority on conservatism... NAZI!!!
The Venn diagram of "principled Conservatives" perturbed by possible regulatory pressure on ABC concerning Kimmel, and Conservative commentators who said nothing when the NAACP pressured the mayor of Rochester to prosecute Shiloh Hendrix for saying a racism is just a circle.
I'm not going to lie, I took the bait.
The purpose of "dog whistle", "woke-right", "Christian nationalism", etc... is to reframe debates that the Open Society crew has clearly lost, into arguments about the aptness and actual meaning of the slippery term.
//In politics, a dog whistle is the use of coded or suggestive language in political messaging to garner support from a particular group without provoking opposition … They are generally used to convey messages on issues likely to provoke controversy without attracting negative attention.//

It is important in today’s media environment to be media-literate enough to know dog whistles and avoid accidentally using them—especially if they are inappropriate references to race like you see @JackPosobiec doing here.
You can tell it is a dog whistle because he positions himself as if he were just asking questions, but his statement has been understood loud and clear by his core audience of anti-black white nationalists.
