"Patriotic history" is rightly criticized as "whig history" (accepting the liberals' premises and showing how conservatives brought them about), "Founding Fathers porn," and a typical refusal to confront actual brutalities and ambiguities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I much prefer "left-wing history." The post-Marxists depict Europeans as unified, ruthless, and motivated by a conquering will that can only manifest itself on a global scale. A paean to the Aryan spirit. Unfortunately, this isn't quite truthful... — PolitiTweet.org

@Thamster2 In Ed Dutton's upcoming book, he devotes a chapter to religion. It's quite strong. Religion is an evolved—seemingly inescapable—phenomenon; it's not a "misfiring" of otherwise useful traits, as Dawkins happily argues in *The God Delusion*. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@Thamster2 I'm not quite as hostile towards Dawkins, but yes, the "I fucking love science" atheism—which *The God Delusion* is full expression of—is quite tedious. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

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

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

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

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

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
