There's nothing more thrilling than horse racing. I'm, at most, a casual fan, but without fail, I get chills and an adrenaline rush watching the Kentucky Derby. It's pure athleticism; transports us back to the origin of sport. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkBrahmin The YouTube purge that I got caught up in last summer was largely symbolic (YT wants to affirm itself as a commercial platform) and behind the times. From what I can tell, the focus is on “misinformation” (which is not ideological discussion) and which leads to action (eg, J6). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin The kind of stuff we do is a) about ideas b) has a much, much smaller audience than Q Anon-type nonsense. In fact, I think the crossover of these “distant” spheres is small and getting smaller by the day. So call me naïve, but I remain optimistic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin We’ll see. I’m cautiously optimistic. I completely understand his position, tbh. If Odysee became associated solely with QAnon or flat earth, then it would fade into irrelevancy. This is largely the Bitchute problem, which I think was created with good intentions... — PolitiTweet.org

@Poensgen_JK @Peter_Turchin Is there any awareness of FJ Turner in the German-speaking world? He goes into racial and civilizational aspects of the frontier. The distinction Turner makes is between the differing frontier concepts of Prussia and America. — PolitiTweet.org

Fully vaccinated. No side effects, other than Windows 95 has replaced my consciousness. — PolitiTweet.org

@jeannav01 Don’t you think it’s important to make distinctions between, say, bears and chipmunks, and not ponderously assert that the complexity of mammals is such that who can really say what the species chipmunk is anyway. Where did we mammals come from anyway? Only God knows for sure. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@jeannav01 Well, I was talking about political theory and American consciousness, which is different from European consciousness. Whether that’d be a hit at parties depends, I guess. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I’ve been re-reading FJ Turner recently. He’s, of course, considered outmoded, passé, or (gasp) “racist” at this point. But he’s the greatest American historical theorist. In fact, he should be considered “our Hegel.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Whether America can exist in a non-frontier or non-imperial form remains to be seen. I don’t think it can. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Now there is a serious push to make America like a nation-state. The Right wants “populism” (whatever that means) and the Left is demanding welfare-state functions that Sweden and Germany enjoyed a half century ago. This is a change... and it might spell America’s slow collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

America’s current existence as an economic platform for the world and suburban utopia is, in many ways, a continuation of the frontier concept Turner talked about. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

After 1939, America’s imperial demands were so great that to even think of it as a nation-state—like, say, Finland—totally obscures its dynamic and logic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

From its inception up until 1924, America never had a real *immigration* policy. It had a naturalization policy, and was still open to most all comers. Between 1924-1965, America was, sort of, a nation, with mass assimilation to WASP norms. But that’s the exception not the rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

America has never really been a nation-state. It’s essence is as a *frontier*. FJ Turner really got that right. The frontier, in this sense, is open, endless space, and specifically not a border separating hostile peoples. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

It’s worth considering whether liberalism has ever truly been an abstract system based on the sovereignty of the individual. Perhaps it’s always functioned on such post-Christian guilt complexes... Whatever the case, Tim Scott’s sentiment is not “progressive.” — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This is clearly a Hebraic and Christian metaphor. It’s not “progressive.” It demonstrates the guilt complex at the heart of modern liberalism. — PolitiTweet.org

@MarkBrahmin The lawsuit will go nowhere, but he’ll raise money off his supporters for “fighting back against Big Tech!” It’s good to see VDARE uncritically endorsing conservatives grifts. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@MarkBrahmin O’Keefe’s statement is telling: “I am suing Twitter for defamation because they said I, James O’Keefe, ‘operated fake accounts.’” The emphasis is on his doing this personally. Likely, his company or supporters created the accounts. Also, defamation? Completely stupid lawsuit. — PolitiTweet.org

@RodReturns @Right_Wing_Punk As I’ve pointed out, even the “Overton Window” for race baiting has shifted to the left. For Tucker, the Great Replacement is a problem due to it being a “voting rights” issue. The Right endlessly takes “baby steps” in the wrong direction. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Ominous parallels. Christianity began as a Jewish movement, but it metastasized among the “middling sort,” particularly women, as effectively a means of virtue signaling in a quest for status. “Woke” shares many of these features, and is quickly overtaking older religious forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Tucker Carlson will define the unbearable stupidity of “right-wing populism” for the next decade. https://t.co/KBxrF1r4nu — PolitiTweet.org
