This blatant contradiction has been present from the beginning. Conservatives struggle to see reality as it is. Everything is viewed through a political lens: either Coronavirus is part of a neo-Cold War with China or else it’s a liberal scheme to harm Trump’s re-election. — PolitiTweet.org

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill Again, the movement is not fixable. I, for one, am going in a different direction. (Antifa is a totally different phenomenon, which we shouldn’t imitate.) — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are gay. A truly shocking revelation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill The movement is filled with "gatekeepers," who are keeping gate for god knows what. People who matter in this world don't actually care about the various Alt-Right factions. It's thus all infighting and squabbling over nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill The second reason is that the movement could be channeled in one direction and had leadership. When the movement turned against me, it fragmented into a constellation of cliques. That's where it is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill So it's true that outright opposing Trump (as I have) or seriously criticizing him (as most have) came with a cost. The "GOP shills" were right about that. But I don't think we could be taken seriously in the slightest if we remained "GOP shills," like we were for a time. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill The movement was powerful for two reasons: 1) It was attached to Trump and we, somewhat plausibly, claimed that Trump was all about us! Trump was opposed by the conservative establishment—and yet he won. We were thus able to make an end run around the gatekeepers. — PolitiTweet.org

But "the last shall be first" is the core failing of Platonic (and, yes, Christian) thinking. It takes the *last* thing—the rationalization or "form" of experience—and posits it as the "first" thing. Christians and Platonists are, in this way, truly backwards. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Matthew said, "the last shall be first." This came from a parable about equal wages, and has been taken in a social and political sense—the Judeo-Christian rabble being "chosen," and thus usurping their proper superiors. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Our physical experience of the world—and our domination of the world—*preceded* mathematics, which developed as a way of rationalizing this experience. We're amazed that math and the world align because we've overlooked the physical, biological imperative of the "pure" sciences. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This folk wisdom demonstrates the degree to which the latest in "pure mathematics"—or critical race theory or deconstructionism or whatever—has been alienated from the real world and now exists as academic masturbation involving symbols and jargon—references with referents. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

There is something to be said for the wisdom of the common man that, while Newtonian physics can be explained to anyone, "String Theory" is so Byzantine that no one—except a priestly caste of eggheads—can make heads or tails of it. This is true! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Pythagoras discovered math by being a musician, by seeking to create the most elegant mating call—and all that implies... (Math, too, is "erotic." This should not be taken as a criticism of math!) — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

You can stand in awe at how Pythagoras discovered that "pure mathematics" miraculously aligns with the sonic consonance of an octave. Or you could stand in awe of what really took place—that mathematics is, in fact, beautiful because it arose through music. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The very evidence that Craig cites outlines how math and logic are *not* pure forms but themselves derive from the world, our experience of it, and our power seeking within it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

According to Craig, we should be in awe of the fact that "pure mathematics"—which, apparently, originated and exists in the netherworld of forms—just so happens to align with the real world. This must be God's work! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

No, don't worry, I'm not going to engage in one of those "atheist" debates, in which I "own Christians with facts and logic." Those debates amount to two liberals arguing with each other over who's more liberal. To the contrary, it is logic that needs to be owned! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This gem of a video is a full expression of the *backwards* way of thinking that infects all philosophy derived from Plato, including "rational Christians" (like William Lane Craig), who give life to the maxim that Christianity is "Plato for the people." https://t.co/QN0kdI9OqF — PolitiTweet.org

@CrassusT @TheCptBlackPill You’re describing where we were in 2016-17. And this is where we ended up. I don’t want to repeat things that have been tried and failed. We need to explore different paths. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @phl43: I think she is full of shit, but that's obviously not something that should be decided by Twitter, this decision is outrageous. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@VoxTribuni This is a very important point. "Conservatives" define themselves as the OG liberals, and attack the "liberals" on the basis of their supposed "collectivism." These memes obscure everything. — PolitiTweet.org

@AmeriZara I actually mean more than that. At the risk of shocking everyone, I’ll leave it somewhat ambiguous. — PolitiTweet.org

To confront the Left, we must oppose the most fundamental precepts of the liberal, humanist virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In saying that we must have a “conservative” population to maintain liberalism—which I’m not sure I agree with—you’re, in fact, saying that you endorse liberalism as a *secondary effect of something else*, and that you don’t endorse liberalism in itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

If you endorse core, original liberalism, but you have a conservatives mentality, then you’re doomed to complaining about the largely inevitable symptoms of your own ideology for the rest of your life. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

My general point is that liberalism must be rejected at its core and at its source. That is more important than rejecting the *effects* of liberalism. — PolitiTweet.org
