Write Wing This Week – Issue No. 13 – 15 July 2023
The blackpilled Pygmalions living in the liminal trailer park will become the renegade capitalists who write the Bill of Dark Rites
Welcome to this week’s roundup of the deepest, funniest, weirdest, rudest, and noblest dissident writing on Substack.
We start the week’s digest with a look at the The Fall, after which must of course come The Renewal. Things get strange in The Wyrding, and there’s a been a lot written this week on the Religions of Blood and Sky. Some people think it’s All Talk though ... and they’re sick of talking. The hear from and wonder about the ladies in Girlpower. As always, there’s some controversy about Russia, given that the war has now passed the 500 day mark. Finally, some Podcasts to take with you on your hike in the woods, and a small amount of PVLP as a palette cleanser.
Settle in, get cozy, and let’s get on with the links!
The Fall
In a sprawling prose poem whose epic scope extends far beyond what its title implies, Billionaire Psycho shows that Pygmalion and the Anime Girl emerge from the same impulse, although the latter is the characteristically twisted and inverted parody of an ancient and far nobler myth. The West has fallen, and we are the children of ruin. Porn-addicted incels are just one of the many broken tribes inhabiting this wasteland of ennui and misery. But there are nightmares gathering in the shadows….
Billionaire Psycho grabs you right by the balls and drags you to the penthouse suite to gaze in ecstatic horror upon the smoldering remains of our once great society, a neon Virgil giving a tour of the concrete Inferno. He lines up a row of relentless blackpills and demands that you mainline them. And yet, somehow, pulsing throughout is an undercurrent of electric joy.
Pygmalion and the Anime Girl was independently nominated by two readers for the Iron Ring, a possibility I’d already considered before either of them suggested it. The competition this week turned out to be stiff, but unanimous nominations have never happened before, and who am I to gainsay? Especially when I agree? This beautiful piece therefore takes the week’s Iron Ring Award. You must read the whole thing:
The West is being invaded and dismembered by barbarians, who are being invited in by the West’s home-grown barbarians. No, not Vikings, and not bikers. As Tólma explains, what we see now is the ancient Culture - Barbarism conflict. Those of low vibration with nothing higher inside their souls, whether civilized or savage, are the barbarians in this description; culture is precisely that which draws man upwards, towards his highest potential. And not everyone has it.
Did you know that a plague chronicle’s eugyppius is writing a book? I’d missed that somehow, and discovered this important news as he informed us about a Journalist notices that "Post-Vac Syndrome", a false narrative of vaccine injury hyped by German health authorities to save their "safe-and-effective" thesis, hardly exists outside Germany. Later this week eugyppius covered Self-gluing climate mob cement themselves to airport taxiways in Hamburg and Düsseldorf, block key intersections in 26 German cities because this will stop emissions. “Protest” groups like Extinction Rebellion and Last Generation are quite clearly manufactured dissent, intended to make the WEFite politicians trying to ram through wildly unpopular carbon tyrannies like the reasonable ones.
At Karlstack Christopher Brunet serves up his fifth compendium in what has, sadly, become an ongoing series, with 23 More Academic Scandals to add to the previous dishonour roll. It’s almost like there’s a reason for the DIEing Confidence in the Academy.
At Tell Me How This Ends Chris Bray turns up his nose at the All-You-Can-Eat Bad Faith buffet being served up by the regime. Any opposition to the regime is treated like an inauthentic grift being run by people who obviously don't really mean it, while those they appeal to are obviously gullible marks with no legitimate grievances. It's revealing that this is the regime's go-to complaint. The bearded lady doth protest too much, thinketh I. Later Bray compares Power Versus Information. The elite are increasingly concerned about unfettered discourse, because any fool with an internet connection and some free time can discover the hollowness of their pretensions, and then put that void of real accomplishment that fills the inflated egos of our nakedly imperial elite on display for the whole world to see.
At A Ghost in the Machine Daniel D observes that the Globohomo Regime Is Losing Its Game of Whack-a-Mole Cancelation.
At Contra Pedro L. Gonzalez looks back on The Pride Month That Perished. From companies conspicuously failing to change their online logos to rainbows, to a rash of protests against child grooming at schools all over the US (and in Canada, though he doesn’t mention these), to students rolling their eyes and groaning in mocking frustration during rainbow indoc sessions, to the consumer revolt against Bud Light and Target, Greatest Sin Month didn’t exactly go as our reptilian overlords intended.
Did the gene therapy make people tarded? It wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t just this stupid virus. I’ve certainly noticed that people seemed to be a bit ... slower after the gene therapy campaign. But then again, pot was legalized around the same time, so. In any case I’m not (that kid of) a doctor, so what do I know. Igor Chudov publishes an analysis from A Midwestern Doctor (who is that kind of a doctor) of Cognitive Impairment in Adults - What Role Did COVID Vaccines Play? There’s some signal there. Maybe that’s why the vaxxies keep insisting it’s safe and effective.
William M Briggs of Science Is Not The Answer tells us about The Worst Attempt To Defend Scientism I Ever Heard, namely an incoherent attempt by a scientism-denier to deny that gene therapy skeptics were ever told to just Believe The Science in stark contrast to how actual science works, i.e. through a process of skeptical questioning and argumentation disciplined by evidence and logic. Briggs would also like to announce that The Broken Science Initiative Podcast Has Commenced!
At Lorenzo from Oz Lorenzo Warby agrees with recent research that There is significant discrimination in Western countries but insists that the data strongly suggest cultural distance, rather than racial prejudice, is the reason ... and the reason racial prejudice keeps being ascribed is due to the cultural distance between the Anywheres conducting the study and the Somewheres being studied.
Helen Dale is Not On Your Team, But Always Fair, which is little comfort to hate crimes hoaxers for whom fairness is the last thing they want. The Klan Springs Eternal, and if the spring fails to provide the necessary water of racism, sexism, and anti-semitism on its own, hoaxers are more than happy to run a hidden pipe.
Erik Hoel takes The Intrinsic Perspective on the open Internet, and declares that The internet's "town square" is dead. The temptation to shape platform discourse with tiny nudges of code is too strong for any mortal to resist. Instead of one free speech platform, we end up with an archipelago of fiefdoms, each conforming to the ideological preferences of its owners.
The Renewal
America will package your revolution and sell it back to you, so why don’t we do that consciously? The Myth Pilot Paulos riffs on the right’s marketing executive Isaac Simpson to explain that The Media is a Monster that Eats Advertising, which is something we can use to our advantage. Why should CNN and the New York Slimes get all the adbux? There’s an underground renaissance of renegade consumer packaged goods companies who are rejecting the financially motivated adulteration and focusing on simplicity and quality, as explained by Isaac Simpson in his Welcome To The New Counter Culture at ZeroHedge. Paulos suggests that marketers like Isaac could make beautiful ads that could generate revenue for dissident media sites like this one (ahem), which would then enable more and higher-quality dissident media, while in turn increasing the market share for the renegade CPG firms, all of which would make us stronger and our enemies weaker. Bonus points if we can eliminate seed oils. An honourable mention for Paulos this week.
You absolutely must read both of these pieces, they are not long. They should be read in the context of Johann Kurtz ’s Iron Ring Award-winning Teleocracy and Prestige from a couple of weeks ago. Imagine a subculture of right-wing warrior monks getting rich selling high-quality products for reasonable prices in service of glory, honour, and God. So anyhow, how do I get in touch with Hestia about selling ad space?
At Tan Land: Natural Health and Beauty Really Tan Man has more on this nascent revolt in his Welcome to the New Natural. He contrasts the toxic mess of Boomer Capitalism, defined by artificiality, homogeneity, and short-sightedness, with Natural Capitalism, which is the precise opposite of those things. The Tan Man is apparently the purveyor of Masa chips, another brand in the CPG revolution, so he’s right there in the thick of it.
At The Library of Celaeno Librarian of Celaeno exhorts us, Let Us Follow The Example Of California. No, not down the drain of fail that the Fool’s Gold State has come to represent, but the earlier, brighter, musclier California of JFK, Jr’s time ... the last era in which Americans understood the eternal and holy principle of mens sana in corpore sano.
The Reactionary Feminist Mary Harrington thinks that it's time for The Missing Aunties to start meddling in the kids' romantic lives again. Tinder broke romance, and now we have a marriage drought and mass, quiet loneliness and misery. Reviving the social technologies of matchmaking may be the answer.
Move over, Episcopalians. Grant Smith from The Radical American Mind has a new metareligion with which to weave together the human American singularity: the Epistamerican Revolution. It's pronounced "a pissed American". Why do I suspect this whole thing was just an elaborate excuse for a pun? Goddamnit, Smith, my sides can only take so much.
Brian C. Wilson of the Montana Classical College gives us a quick rundown on the The Evolution of MCC both so far, and the plans for the future. The MCC is based around the principles of nobility, nature, and nation. Wilson mea culpa’s that he’s under-delivered so far, but has big plans for the future, including a residential summer program that looks quite attractive.
Charlemagne of Old Glory Club writes a few words Toward a Low-Entropy Right. The reason the left keeps winning, he says, is because they are low-entropy: highly ordered, and therefore capable of directing activist energy towards political victory.
At À Rebours N. Dexia ponders The Decline of the West… and a chance for a revival?
The Wyrding
The Eucatastrophologist Duncan Reyburn considers The metaphysics and politics of coffee. To see the world in a coffee ground/Swirl infinity in the mug around/And perceive eternity in the few short minutes in which the devil’s brew cools down. What are the political implications of this? Duncan knows, and gets an honourable mention because this was just whimsically crazy.
At The Library of Celaeno the Librarian of Celaeno writes about Marija Gimbutas. Who’s that? It has something to do with “Kurgans, Vaginas, and Lizard People”, which I know got your attention enough that you will read this very interesting scholarly biography. There’s a subtle and important point here about intuition vs. facts and logic. So about that pre-Aryan matriarchal longhouse culture...
After an extended hiatus to get married (congrats, bro), The Saxon Cross returns with some thoughts on mythicism vs. literalism, the Younger Dryas Impact, the cultural impact of autistic Young Earth Creationist fundamentalists turning an entire generation of Christianity, and the interpretation of Genesis: History Book or Faerie Tale? Why not both?
At The Lake of Lerna Yakubian Ape serves up a Creepypasta al Dente: Prologue. Surely you don’t think demons aren’t real, anon?
Ignatius of Maidstone asks Is Wall Street Full of Conspiracy Theorists? Anyone who’s ever perused ZeroHedge knows the answer to that. As Ignatius explains, there are very good psychological and professional reasons for this ... as well as a connection between their tendency to swallow the redpill, and their enthusiasm for hookers and blow.
Religions of Blood and Sky
At Anarchonomicon Kulak "dreams of the Dark Bill of Rights". Teach a Man to Revolt and he'll be free for the rest of time. Kulak contrasts the Koran, which is immutable, and whose injunctions are explicitly sanctioned by vigilante brutality, with the American Constitution and the various Bills of Rights throughout the Anglosphere. Mere laws can be interpreted away into threadbare meaninglessness by termites with law degrees, but a deep culture is a different animal entirely. Imagine a Dark Bill of Rights that enshrines weaponry, speech, privacy, and property as axioms emanating from divine will, and praises the tyrannicides who defend these rights as holy warriors who have won for themselves a place in Valhalla. States might rise and fall, laws change, borders shift, capitals move, but the Dark Bill of Rights would cast its grim and uncompromising shadow over all. This essay was a strong contender for the Iron Ring, and is a very strong honourable mention. Read it.
After his Twitter thread went viral two weeks ago, Arktos invited Kruptos to write more deeply on the subject of the Trailer Park Mom: A Reflection. You may not like it, but trailer trash are your people. In fact you almost certainly don’t like it because there’s very little difference between their quality of life and yours thanks to the economic hollowing-out of the last generations, making it all the more essential to differentiate yourself. But if you want to be the new nobility, that really does mean accepting that these are your base, and all the responsibilities of care, attention, empathy, communication, and example that come with that. Lord knows the current elite are failing at all of that, which is why the underclass is in the state it is in the first place. This is very good, and Kruptos gets an honourable mention here.
At his own Substack Seeking the Hidden Thing Kruptos continues his Deep Dive into Jacques Ellul's "Autopsy of Revolution" this week with pt.3: The Causes and Conditions for Revolution. Kruptos has also posted an essay which is guaranteed to annoy the Nietzsche-bros: Why the Future of the Dissident Right Is Christian. Is the current regime already the exemplar of the purified will to power?
Over at Deimos, Kruptos turned me on to a long (very long), but very well-written essay from Reasonably Radical Rants : Jordan Peterson, the Last Liberal on the Right.
At Helen Dale’s Not On Your Team, But Always Fair chapter 25 of Lorenzo Warby ’s Worshipping the Future, A Crusading Clerisy, is up. His point here is a well-known one: wokism is a religion. Lorenzo draws it out in gory detail, however, making an airtight case that the Death Cult really is a cult, one which – as the title of the larger work suggests – worships the future. One thing that leapt out to me was his discussion of the moral insanity of ascribing virtue to belief. This is very similar to the Protestant doctrine of sola fide, and it’s probably no accident that wokery was born in the former seminaries of the New England Puritans.
The Resavager Barbaric Disciple describes the The NATTY Warrior Religion, as a commentary on The Old Worship by Aedan at The Chevauchee. In the disciple’s description, the warrior religion partakes of the ancestor worship of our deep past, and is woven from that, but is not just that. We can’t RETVRN, memes notwithstanding.
Millennial Woes writes that memorizing some historical trivia and passing a knowledge test, or getting a job and paying taxes, is not the same thing as Qualifying for an Identity. Brahmins will never be British, no matter how sophisticated their Oxford accents.
Over at his Webstead, Jeff Russell gives us A QUICK GROUNDING IN REVIVAL DRUIDRY.
Imperium Press reviews The Northman as an entry point to the pre-Christian honour morality of our Germanic ancestors in Tribalize or Die. To our eyes, Amleth seems like a sociopath, but in the frame he inhabited he was a moral paragon. It’s a morality IP thinks will, and indeed must, return.
At The Neo-Feudal Review Neoliberal Feudalism provides a detailed examination of The 10,000 year explosion: Rapid selection pressures in a radically changing environment. It’s a trope that we’re basically the same as the humans of the middle paleolithic, but the genetic evidence shows that to the contrary, the onset of agricultural civilization accelerated human evolution dramatically.
All Talk
Theophilus Chilton of The Neo-Ciceronian Times examines The Normalisation of Liminality. The modern left seeks to transmute the entire world into the mutable space of the liminal, with no fixed boundaries or stable and discrete entities to be found everywhere. Never a boy, never a man, always a teenager; never home, never arrived, but always in motion. Theophilus gets an honourable mention this week.
At Becoming Noble Johann Kurtz picks up Theophilus’ theme and takes it a bit further to explore the Jester’s Privilege in the ultimate liminal space: the Internet. In a space where there is only endless talking no real action is possible, and all conflict is rendered no more than the bickering of women. No king can arise in such a space, and so the jester takes the throne ... but the jester is not suited to rule. He throws down the gauntlet to the vitalist right here: only offline can their dreams become more than empty talk. Then again, there’s a reason that lifting is essential. Very strong honourable mention here.
At Position & Decision Sanfedisti is done talking to leftists. What’s there to talk about with people who want to kill you, see your children raped, and who think it’s funny? Nothing, except perhaps terms of surrender. End of Discussion.
Girlpower
It’s rather ironic that the Goddess Feminism of the 70s ultimately led to the spectacle of the Insane Troons Who Keep Trying to Erase Women, and that blasphemous rasping you hear is themocking laughter of Morgthorak the Undead echoing up from The Tomb of Morgthorak. Front holes, birthing holes, now bonus holes. The fucking nerve.
The Reactionary Feminist Mary Harrington interrogates Barbie's Beauty Standards, and delves into the rich transhumanist literature surrounding the sexless plastic idols. In the future the WEF sees, we will all be Barbie dolls.
Is anyone else getting sick of the fashion for ascribing every single behavioural quirk and decision people make to various boutique mental illnesses? motheRucker is. In Stigma Versus Secondary Disturbance she wonders if normalizing mental illness was really the best strategy.
Russia
Niccolo Soldo celebrates 500 Days of War over at Fisted by Foucault, reviewing the performance so far of the major belligerents. His analysis is that America has been winning bigly, Russia has been winning smally, Europe has lost whatever residual self-respect it still had, and Ukraine has been the big loser.
William M Briggs doesn’t usually cover the war, but this week Science Is Not the Answer hosted a guest post from Ianto Watt: Russia’s Patience, Russia’s Victory — Guest Post by Ianto Watt. Watt’s thesis is that Putin is slowly chipping away at the three pillars of Western power – financial, military, and ideological – with the goal of bringing about a controlled demolition and thereby avoiding a nuclear exchange.
Rolo Slavskiy is having none of it, and has posted an extended rebuttal, The Long Checkmate: The Kremlin is Waiting For the West to Collapse, at The Slavland Chronicles. He sees no evidence that there are any patriots in the Kremlin, or that the Kremlin is taking the conflict at all seriously.
Podcasts
I’ve been dropping the ball on informing everyone about our weekly Tonic Discussions, but thankfully Doctor Hammer has linked Tonic Discussions 10 & 11: National Divorce over at Doc Hammer's Anvil. Divorce is episode 10; episode 11 is National Sidepiece, @Mark Bisone’s formulation. Maybe instead of formally separating red and blue can just cheat? A lot of us are already emotionally cheating.
Speaking of Tonic Discussions, William Hunter Duncan is riffing on Tonic Discussions Episode II: Laughing at the Faustian Bargain over at Born on the Fourth of July. The actual topic we started with there was tr00ns, but we couldn’t say that on YouTube, and in any case we quickly ended up talking about demons because, well you know why. Duncan suggests that laughing at the devil is useful, understanding evil is useful, but maybe we might want to look for help in the subtle realms as well – angels, spirits, God and the gods, wherever we might find it.
Reminder that we record the Tonic Discussions every Sunday at 11; paid supporters can join in for the live conversation. The link is posted at Deimos Station.
At Political Ponerology Harrison Koehli has posted his latest MindMatters podcast, which is an interview on Corporate Psychopathy, with Clive Boddy.
The first episode of Helen Dale ’s new podcast is up at Law & Liberty: THE STATE OF THE WEST, with Douglas Murray. They talk about the state of racial discourse, national conservatism, and his recent book, War on the West.
PVLP
At Pulp, Pipe, & Poetry, edited by Frank Theodat , an epic of the apocalypse from Frank Kidd about the Dogs of Chernobyl:
Spittle and blood foamed,
at the mouth of the boar.
Great tusks,
ivory painted scarlet.
The pig's blood pooled,
on the stones of a cathedral,
now laid low,
where the hogs occasionally rooted.
Some scifi at Pulp, Pipe, & Poetry in whichZack Grafman tells us all about Tomorrow's Problem
Jimmy watched everything around him as the aging perfection of their perfect community blurred past the window. Gradually the monorail from Yesterday's villas and market streets glided to a stop, a smooth bump as the magnetic braking engaged. Jimmy exited the car with a few families just finishing their pre-dinner grocery shopping at Main Street before scattering to the cozy and carless suburban greenspace of Tomorrow. His feet took him habitually to the nook between the invisible overlapping circles of the closed-circuit surveillance eyes as he fished in his pockets for a smoke. No sense in picking up demerit points again.
