@BoardAnglo I, too, miss the bantz, but was is actually "good talk"? It was always totally incoherent and probably mendacious. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Even though I disagree with most of Washington's foreign policy—and, in some ways, appreciate the empire's growing impotence and incoherence—the fact is, the decline of patriotic war-fever is emblematic of the decline of the White majority, and America's more general descent. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I don't agree with Scott's contention that demographics are the defining force of foreign policy, which is always a game played by elites. However, big wars are impossible without legitimacy on the homefront. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

2001-2004 marked the hight of "Patriotardism." Flag-waving and war fever defined the country. A situation like that won't be repeated—or rather, if it were repeated, it'd be among a minority population in a hyper-polarized environment, with an equal and opposite reaciton. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

It's also true that new wars in the Middle East are becoming less and less possible as White America ages and declines, and no longer defines the broader culture. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The only staunchly pro-Israel Gentile community is Middle-American and Southern White Christians—who are, in fact, more Zionists than Jews. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Today, serious criticism of Israel is mainstream, or becoming mainstream, and fervent Zionists are defensive and playing "damage control." This situation certainly has a lot to do with changing demographics. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

In 2008, serious criticism of Israel—questioning its treatment of Palestinians, questioning even its legitimacy and the viability of the two-state solution—only occurred on the fringes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I still do not believe that America's demographic changes will bring about a Kennan-like foreign policy. That said, my views have evolved, and, retrospectively, I think McConnell was more right than I was. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I wrote this polemic against Scott McConnel back in 2008, while I was at Takimag. Seems like forever ago. @ScottMcConnell9 https://t.co/Y3N8gjpJ3S — PolitiTweet.org

@craigcrimes She’s thoroughly Abrahamic—though she insists the Pope is a fascist. — PolitiTweet.org

As a footnote, look at what the Axios article says of Steve Bannon. His version of "Ron Paulian" foreign policy amounts to outsourcing the Afghan footprint to Blackwater. Whether this is smart—or a privatization scheme for which he would receive a kickback—I'll leave up to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Trump—along with the MAGA movement—which yells "America First!" without any clue of what that might actually mean ("they've good instincts," you say) are precisely the type of people who *cannot* change the system or implement something to replace it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

There will never be a "multi-polar world" or peaceful "nationalism for all nations" or whatever fantasies are cooked up by the Right and Left. We live on a planet, and one system will be supreme. What that system will be is the question that needs to be addressed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The reality is that the fall of the American Empire, which is coming—sooner than we might think—will result in immediate chaos. This situation will be replaced by another imperial order—one that will have to engage in the same level of violence and hypocrisy as Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The "Dissident Right," "America First" movement, and even the supposedly "Anti-woke" or "populist" Left all impotently rage at "globalism." It's become a kind of entertainment, or form of purity signaling, for self-styled "dissidents." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

More to the point—"Just mind your own business" is a ridiculous suggestion for a world empire. America *is* minding its business by stationing military around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Trump seemed to use "isolationism"—not as an actual system or replacement of the American empire—but as a negotiating tactic, or a futile attempt to sabotage his political enemies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The little we know about Trump was that he viewed imperial commitments as protection rackets, which should produce rents. He fanatically supports Israel—which entails an imperial footprint—and he brought us closer to war with Iran than any president, including Dubya. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

If Trump's order were miraculously implemented, what kind of foreign policy did he actually want in its place? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Did Trump even really believe that his orders would be implemented? Or was it simply a final "fuck you" or shitting of the bed? Those possibilities seem infinitely more likely than the notion that Trump had pure, paleo motives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Isn't it more plausible—more true to Trump's nature—that he wanted to remove troops around the world as a way of "rage quitting" the presidency and leaving his successor in an impossible position? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

While there's a kernel of truth there ... I ultimately reject this type of apologia for Trumpism. "Well, gosh darn it, he tried didn't he? Let's give him a second chance!" It's ultimately the attitude of endless failure and attempts to justify losing through pathos. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This view of Trump is reminiscent of Oliver Stone's surprisingly sympathetic portrait of Nixon. It's "the system"—the wild animal, war machine—that is guilty. Nixon, or Trump, is just trying to do what's right. https://t.co/7KGDtckUrj — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

This whole episode will likely become a kind of myth of the Trump presidency within right-wing circles—the proof that "our guy" was trying to save the country after all, but was tragically foiled by enemies within. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Here we have Exhibit A for such a defense. Trump tried to go full Ron Paul at the 11th hour—change the course of American history no less—but was prevented by his own incompetence and the Deep State dragging its feet. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

One of the most common defenses of Trump in the dissident sphere is that "he's got good instincts"—with that admission that he's out of his depth or constantly undermined by Jared, the media, Deep State, and GOP. But "Trump's heart," I was told, "was in the right place." — PolitiTweet.org
