1 " Those who need leaders are not qualified to choose them. "
― Michael Malice , The New Right: A Journey to the Fringe of American Politics
2 " Thomas Sowell once wrote, “Nobody is equal to anybody. Even the same man is not equal to himself on different days. "
3 " Those driven by emotion (children, the mentally ill, hormonal men and women alike) don’t freak out when they get their way; they freak out when they’re not getting their way. "
4 " The late Andrew Breitbart saw this as essential, writing, “The left does not win its battles in debate. It doesn’t have to. In the twenty-first century, media is everything. The left wins because it controls the narrative. The narrative is controlled by the media. The left is the media. Narrative is everything. I call it the Democrat-media complex. "
5 " in a democracy someone is setting the guidelines for everyone else. Elitist rule is inevitable. "
6 " A loosely connected group of individuals united by their opposition to progressivism, which they perceive to be a thinly veiled fundamentalist religion dedicated to egalitarian principles and intent on totalitarian world domination via globalist hegemony. "
7 " To realize that we live in an absurd culture where we are taught absurd things by absurd people and threatened with absurd consequences for defying all of it is to achieve a level of contentment. "
8 " Gamergate was an important moment in proving the existence of the Cathedral, the idea that what is being presented as fact is actually a carefully coordinated movement by elites to establish and impose their view of what reality is and how it should be. "
9 " The political binary is the dumbest of all. It’s based on the seating system in the old French legislature, and I refuse to base my life on anything French. "
10 " Twenty-five years later, Pat Buchanan has been proven correct. There is a religious war going on in our country for the soul of America. On one side of the battlefield is the religion known as progressivism. On the other stands the New Right. "
11 " The New Right is of the fringe (and I say that as an anarchist), and the fringe is where both innovation and insanity lay. "
12 " The personal is the political” is a totalitarian progressive decree that I reject entirely. "
13 " According to Rothbard, complete gridlock is the best one can hope for in Washington. A paralyzed government was fairly close to his anarchist ideal. "
14 " When it comes to hiring someone for a job, “discrimination on the basis of [political] party was much stronger than discrimination on the basis of race.” An information economy segregates on ideas and not on genetics. "
15 " [f]emales are very interested in colonizing high-value male spaces, "
16 " [f]emales are very interested in colonizing high-value male spaces,” “[m]ale groups are subverted and redirected to fem-centric goals/visions if women are present and not managed with an iron fist.”1 "
17 " Buchanan’s logic is remarkably similar to that of Al Gore and his global warming associates. It breaks down like this: • Civilization is under unprecedented existential threat. • The only way to stop this threat from being realized is via a complete reordering of society, which is admittedly impossible. • Since our political systems won’t allow us to undertake the massive changes that are necessary, we can at least effect incremental changes in the right direction. • Said changes won’t actually stop the existential threat from being realized, but for some never-explained reason we should do them anyway. "
18 " For years, the New Right has had little political representation and been treated as beneath notice by the mainstream press. This is no longer an option, especially in a social media world. Its members are smart, they are organized, and, most importantly, they do have a very coherent worldview. Illiterately tweeting “YOUR RACIST” over and over at one’s enemies is not enough to silence millions of people. "
19 " the evangelical left is an army of programmed enemies with whom discourse is quite literally pointless and whose only role is to destroy the heroes (or, as leftists would say, “protagonists,” because “hero” is a problematic term). "
20 " Because the evangelical left—like most human beings—is highly lacking in empathy and unable to perceive other points of view, its members tend to equate their perspective with universally perceived truth. "
