The Sons of Jehu.

[A question from the audience, below my video with "Megaculturalism" in the title:] Why would you call this right-wing though? Neither cosmopolitanism nor having intellectual standards sounds right-wing to me.

—————

I'm so right wing that I don't have sex with people just so they'll be friends with me, and I'm not friends with people just in order to have sex.

The refusal to wallow in egalitarianism is right wing: the refusal to take pride in being the same as everyone else —or in being oppressed like everyone else— positively puts you on the same side of the Revolution as the Sons of Jehu.

Overtly elitist, intellectual cosmopolitanism is indeed right wing: if you don't know this you haven't met ten left wing people yet.

[Other voices:] Satmar: the unbelievably idiotic intellectual legacy of Joel Teitelbaum.

The entire philosophy of Joel Teitelbaum can be encapsulated with the phrase, "Everything modern is bad" —chadash asur min ha-Torah, etc. —cf. the denotation and connotation of boko haram.

[Other voices:] Incredibly attractive women with incredibly unsophisticated political opinions.

Yes, I realize that sounds like the title of the next volume of my autobiography, HOWEVER…

[Meanwhile:] Irony is Dead. Atheism is an Option.

The video is less than four minutes long: I would rather not "spoil it" with a synopsis.

But please allow me to add the commentarial statement: IT IS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NEITHER PARODY NOR SELF-PARODY… BUT THE MESSAGE BEING CONVEYED HERE IS GIVEN (AND INTENDED TO BE RECEIVED) IN EARNEST, AS IF IT WERE USEFUL ADVICE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

One of my fans (who is, like myself, genetically Jewish, but a devout atheist) recently suggested that I join one of the local Jewish groups, given that I'm surrounded by cocaine addicts. I really do not think I'd be accepted at the same coffee table as the average member of Chabad —nor even an extraordinarily lenient member of Chabad, quite frankly.

Right Wing Optimism: How Not Why.

I'm optimistic about the future of the right wing.  How can anyone be optimistic about the right wing?  That is the question: how not why. #vegan #vegans #veganism

Megaculturalism: the Right Wing Alternative to Multiculturalism… IS INEVITABLE.

Quite a lot of material on the "next steps" in the philosophy of education in this one, too, I note… the nihilist philosophy of education or otherwise… something that might not easily be guessed from the title.

The Right Wing Will Win in the End: Not How But Why.

"Each of us has to distinguish ourselves from the norm through ten thousand tiny forms of rebellion."

Part three of a trilogy, criticizing the right from the right ("Visto Da Destra").

Everything I do is esoteric: Blood in the Snow is neither about blood nor snow.

[Torn from the comment section below my most recent video. In this case, you are seeing my reply without wasting any time in reading the comment I was replying to.]

—————

You're "reading" this video as if it were a pamphlet for a political party that doesn't exist: you're interpreting what I'm doing at too low an intellectual level, as if the transcript were iterating and reiterating one simple meaning to you, directly. It isn't.

Everything I do is esoteric: my book, Blood in the Snow, is neither about blood nor snow. The real meaning of this video is not expressed directly.

And —nevertheless— I can say, sincerely, that the A.I. summary of this video (generated by Youtube's star-shaped "Ask" function) comes closer to a correct understanding of the text than you do.

I don't feel any emotional need to be easily understood, and I am not upset by being misunderstood: I do not know to what extent members of my audience are upset by misunderstanding me —or by discovering, in retrospect, what they've misunderstood, and its implications for their own motivation and character. Just one of my viewers ended up in a prison outside of Luhansk because he misunderstood what I had to say about democracy, the war in Ukraine, and, I suppose, the meaning of life. Just one that I know of.
