The left has been putting off this debate for 60 years because it knows that when the terms of the debate are clear, it is going to lose.

The only reason normies care about "civil rights" is because it involves the term "rights". As soon as they open up the tin and look at what's inside, they reject "civil rights".

As a young person who was never taught to appreciate poetry, I thought that the book’s introduction was superb. Not only does it lay out the cultural importance of poetry for the English, it also encourages the reader to develop and grow their love of poetry.

Trump has started his presidency with a volley of executive orders and pardons of genuine political dissidents. This should be celebrated, not just as a win in itself, but because these powers are monarchical powers, and the more they're exercised, the closer we get to Caesarism.

A structural weakness comparable to that of Rome, exists within the American state. This weakness has become visible in the presidential pardon. America will have to get rid of the presidential pardon to save the nation, but in order to do that, it will have to hit the reset button—it will have to destroy the nation.

Trump just signed an executive order rescinding Lyndon Johnson's EO 11246, which established affirmative action. This effectively bans DEI and race quotas, both in the public and private sectors.

Massive overuse of EOs and presidential pardons are the first step toward monarchy. I will say more in the Substack tonight.

As a monarchist I welcome all this. If you aren't a monarchist, you need to decide—do you like republicanism better, or the end of DEI? Because the one is a threat to the other.

Trump signs executive order ending diversity discrimination in federal government, private sector

US President Trump signed an executive order on January 21, 2025, aimed at ending race- and sex-based preferences in federal agencies and the private sector. The order revokes previous diversity and inclusion policies, calling for a merit-based approach to opportunities and ensuring compliance with ...

Suppose Trump really was cynical and all this is just an op to drain radical energy away from the right. Obviously not, but we can grant it for the sake of argument. Suppose it's true.

What does this actually mean for politics?

It means that politics has taken off the fig leaf of ideology. It means politics is just nakedly about "what's good for my guys is just good." Especially since Biden pre-emptively pardoned all his criminals literally hours before leaving office. It means "forget principle, I'm going to just bend the law as far as I can to help my guys and hurt theirs."

What does this do to faith in the system? What does this do to faith in "democracy"? What does this do to faith in the "rules based order", the proceduralism, "rule of law", and weak executive that having a vegetable for a president represented?

This is a clear signal that politics in the Schmittian sense is back. Liberals—and by that I mean the most milquetoast classical liberal Republicans—are learning what friends and enemies are again. They're learning that the only way you can get shit done is with a king.

Could anything be more radicalizing?

"Trump delivering actual Ws is deradicalizing."

I knew this was going to be the take from a guy named "blackpilled" before I even read it. You could replace these people with a 2010 AI bot and the takes would be no less predictable.

The discourse needs to be seriously improved if these takes aren't just laughed out of court.

Just watched that Yarvin NYT interview. It's clear that it's not NYT trying to contain the radical right by way of Yarvin—it's NYT trying to contain Yarvin by getting out in front of something they've lost control over.

I have my critiques of certain things Yarvin says. (For example this about the CEO/king.) But NYT have lost an important piece of the intelligentsia and they know it. The interviewer can hardly hide his repulsion at Yarvin's ideas. This was not a puff piece. Anyone treating it like that has simply not understood it, and probably not watched it. The only reason they did this interview is because they absolutely had to.

People equate a CEO to a monarch where he's more like a Caesar. The monarch is legitimized by birth alone. Whether he does his duty is beside the point. Ironically, this makes him freer to do his duty, since he can give the people what they need, rather than what they want.

There is no such thing as man in the world. In my life, I have seen Frenchmen, Italians, Russians, etc.; thanks to Montesquieu, I know even that one can be Persian, but as for man; I declare that I have never met him in my life.

Albert Camus famously said of Sisyphus, the Greek tyrant forced to toil pointlessly for eternity, that "we must imagine Sisyphus happy". Can you imagine Sisyphus happy? Mike can, and he folds this into a lesson about meaning and purpose in life.

NEW BOOK — Caesarism

The Ultimate Guide to Strongman Politics.

https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/caesarism/

The “strongman” is the political boogeyman of our time. With the rise of figures like Xi, Duterte, Modi, Bukele, and Putin in the 21st century, this boogeyman has taken centre stage in global politics. Ours is the age of the Caesar.

The central argument in Wilhelm Roscher’s Caesarism is the paradox of a ruler who governs monarchically but is legitimised democratically. Drawing on historical examples from Ancient Rome, Greece, and Carthage, as well as from figures like Cromwell and Napoleon, Roscher offers a measured assessment that neither glorifies nor damns Caesarism. As contemporary political discourse increasingly revisits strongman politics, Roscher’s treatment equips readers to discern the multifaceted legacies—both constructive and destructive—that Caesarism has left on the course of history. Caesarism stands as a phenomenon, bridging the ancient and modern.

Caesarism

Roscher's Caesarism equips the reader to understand strongman politics, as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago.

☝🏻This is probably a good time for a basic opsec reminder:

— Make sure your number is hidden on telegram. ESPECIALLY if it’s your real number and not a burner.

— Turn off auto-download (and pre-loading) of files, photos, and videos (settings > advanced > automatic media download)

— if you don't recognize who the sender is you're probably better off just deleting the chat without opening it.
