Sunday, May 2, @jollyheretic and I return LIVE at 1 PM ET Main topic: The Corona Crisis: Is it over? Will it ever end? What does it tell us about the fragility, and stupidity, of the system? https://t.co/6YoDn0oeBG — PolitiTweet.org

@IlanaMercer @WurzelRoot Plato originated every form of world-denial, "hereafter," anti-life religion that followed, including Christianity and liberalism. Don't take Popper's word on the man. I'm not talking "inaccuracies." Plato's the most consequentially, horribly wrong super genius who ever lived. — PolitiTweet.org

@2020Blackstone @Apollo_Returns It's was 24-hours after the Moderna vaccine that I went down for the count. Buckle up. — PolitiTweet.org

@IlanaMercer @WurzelRoot Just because something's old doesn't mean it's good. Conservatives have difficulty with that one. We've gone through these cycles of decadence before. Often conservatives will look back to an earlier stage of decay for guidance or principles. It's a mistake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@IlanaMercer @WurzelRoot Let's put aside my opposition to Plato as tendentious. So many of the "great philosophers" mentioned in the video are either liberals or those who set the stage. Locke and Rousseau most obviously—the latter was admired by everyone involved at every stage of the French Revolution. — PolitiTweet.org

@Apollo_Returns Woke up fully recovered. So if it was purely between the ears, I've bounced back—or perhaps reached a higher state of delusion. — PolitiTweet.org

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

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@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
