New podcast episode (link in reply)
Questions of nationalism are re-emerging in the 2020s, so let's take a closer look. Scotland is our case study.
We look at how small kingdoms coalesced into a nation with a fierce national identity. We also debunk a certain Mel Gibson movie.

The only red flag is that she posts stuff on TikTok. I'd be worried about a breach of my privacy (even if it wasn't intentional).
Other than that... an attractive blonde who doesn't rub my mother the wrong way, and she's showing interest in me? Oh, woe is me.

I must respectfully disagree. My ex was a true believer. For the first year of that relationship, I thought she was just repeating buzzwords to get a masters degree.
But as I got to know her better and the mask slipped, I realized she believes 100%. Which is even scarier.

I just finished re-reading The Machiavellians. The last chapter, especially the section "The Meaning of Democracy" is a gut punch, because it reveals that we're living in The Truman Show.
Democracy means "friends of the regime", and Fascism means "regime enemies". Period.

If anything, it proves that Jordan Peterson has faded back into obscurity. He got a bunch of people going back to church with his insistence that the Bible contained truth, famously coming to loggerheads with Sam Harris over the definition of "truth."

Burnham's "The Machiavellians" is associated with the red pill because of its final chapter.
It was written in during WW2, and he predicted that in the postwar regime, the emergent ruling class would define "fascists" as "people who disagree with us."

When it comes to diagnoses that are more about giving mothers social credit, autism is almost as bad as transgenderism.

Under Mosca's formulation,
Order and virtue -> juridical defense -> liberty -> civilization
Lax law enforcement and dangerous train stations full of vagrants are not the "price of freedom", but rather a direct obstruction of the thing that is required for freedom.
