NEW — The West Has Already Become A Total State And Most People Inside Have No Idea.
@AuronMacintyre on Thinking Class:
- 'Constitutions don't make people...people make constitutions".
- 'It's not a state-run media. It's a media-run state.'
- 'We don't need the trains anymore. We don't have to put anybody in boxcars to get them to speak correctly. We can simply cut them off from everything.'
- 'Reform is impossible. You cannot fix the machine from inside the machine.'

It was my great pleasure to speak with R.R. Reno, editor of @firstthingsmag, on what happens when the strong gods return to a country that no longer has any gods at all.
There were many memorable passages and here's one of them.
"The first duty of the sovereign is to preserve the realm. And ultimately that purpose is because the realm has intrinsic value, not because it is conducive to greater utility for the people who happen to live there. That's why you're willing to make sacrifices to sustain the realm, to preserve the realm, to defend the realm." - R.R. Reno, Editor of @firstthingsmag on Thinking Class
It is safe to say that there are few sovereigns in Europe willing to sustain, preserve and defend the realm.

"We may have to get over our British decorum because the managerial state has weaponised it against us. We're terrified of being seen as impolite. The British state has been prosecuting the same mission since Blair came to power - a new multicultural, high immigration Britain. This is not a failure of governance. It is the system working as intended. They want a post-British, a post-Christian, and a managerial theocracy. And the question is, is will it fall apart? Will we ever be able to get the tides to turn again. Will we become a people and a civilization once studied but no longer exists? And that's the big question." — me on @NewCultureForum

"The Romano-British elite of the day in the fifth century invited the same people who came over and created a whole new nation here of England. We're importing lots of people who are certainly much more demographically vital, civilisationally more confident than we are. Like the Romano-British elite of the past, unless they're not careful, we may well see a demographic and cultural wave that will put all of their ideas to bed." - me on @NewCultureForum
