The New Romantics

One of the forces pushing the alt-right along is a rejection of the modern, sterile aesthetic that is the technological age. This seems to be especially true of the younger millennials and Gen Z. They grew up in a world of glass and stainless steel, smooth edges and shades of gray. This is also an age that rejects spontaneity. It is why popular culture is so dull and feminine. There is a drugged dullness to our age. It is not a rational age, for sure, more like an unromantic age.

That is part of the appeal of the new dissident politics. There is a danger to showing up at alt-right rallies or associating with hate thinkers on social media. Men, especially young men, like adventure. For the generations raised by helicopter parents, thought police and sensitivity training, the danger of the alt-right is attractive. Breaking taboos and standing outside the herd is exhilarating, but the associated brotherhood fills a void the custodial state created in young men. It is not just fun to be bad, it is liberating.

We seem to be at the confluence of two forces acting on our societies. One is the hyper-feminization we see everywhere. There are few public places where men can be themselves or hold a dominant place. In fact, any sphere of life that is male oriented is under pressure to bring in girls. Even things like sports are forcibly integrated. We live in an age where elites want to put girls on football teams and in the boxing ring. Modern life is covered in a wool blanket, drenched with the fetid waters of feminism.

The other force is mass media. If you examine modern movies, one of the odd things is that many are in celebration of old weird America. Boston, for example, became a popular setting for movies, but almost always the old Boston of ethnic neighborhoods. Mass media allows young people a glimpse of the old lost age. They can see a time where the South was still rural and mysterious, the Northeast had tribal ethnics and Los Angeles still had Americans. For the young, old America feels like a foreign country.

The point here is that we are now at a time, at least from the perspective of a young male, where America is a feminine and deracinated society. For those of us who have lived through this transformation, it may be depressing, but it is not jarring. We saw the changes over time. We heard the warnings of those commentators on the Old Right and we saw those warnings ignored. It is like driving a new car for ten years. You know it is old and you remember when it was new, but you also remember everything in between.

Young people lack that middle part. They came into a world disconnected from the old world they can still see on TV or in movies. For young white males, increasingly alienated from the modern culture, it is not a big surprise that they would look backward for examples of how to move forward. Spend time following alt-right social media, and you see lots of references to the fact that the current culture is degraded and ugly. The past had true diversity, while present is a homogenized, degenerate slurry of nothingness.

This interesting story from the Guardian UK, about something similar happening in Germany, suggests this could be a pan-Western phenomenon. The difference is that it is still possible to be a famous intellectual in Europe. You can also be famous as a writer of fiction, read by men. In the US, public intellectuals are chattering skulls on cable TV, who spit out vapid platitudes approved by the people in charge. Literature, of course, is now dominated by women, so it has no point and no audience, outside the academy.

That said, Europe and America have something in common. Young males, disconnected from the culture, are searching for something to give purpose to their lives. A common refrain on the alt-right is about the uselessness of being a wage slave in a cubicle farm, just so you can buy useless crap from global corporations. That seems to be a theme of the new romanticism bubbling up in Europe. It is young people, particularly young males, reaching back to an age before they were born, for inspiration and purpose.

The Guardian piece is quick to point out the connections between German Romanticism and you know who. That brings up a big difference between the US and Europe. Germans are not about to become minorities in their own country. The same is true of the rest of Europe. In the US, whites will be a minority in a generation. The cultural phenomenon may have many parallels today, but in the fullness of time they will head off in different directions. It is why the alt-right is less artsy than the new European romantics.

All in all, what we are seeing is validation of an age old truth. One of the top-level duties of a ruling class is to keep its young men busy. Too many alienated and idle young men always spell trouble. What has happened in the West is the ruling elite has deliberately pushed men out of the social order. The follow on act was to invite in millions of foreigners to gloat over the deracinated male population. There are only so many mixed race couples you can see on TV before you get the message.

This will not end well

Here in the rural south, redneck culture still holds sway with young males. They play video games, but they also hunt, fish, chew tobacco, drink beer, and drive big, loud trucks that sit about 5 feet off the ground. And they all like guns and know how to use them. They also get married young and have children. In the country, it’s not so easy to go out every night and chase girls. So guys end up marrying, so they won’t have to go home to an empty doublewide with nothing to do every night. There’s not much cubicle life… Read more »

I was walking around the Winston-Salem (NC) Mall for The Black Friday sales. It was bad. Hindu, Mandarin and Spanish dominated.

Last night I too contemplated el futuro de Los Estados Unidos on Black Friday as my wife and I walked around the mall. Malls are currently the bottom of the barrel of retail so they attract the bottom of the barrel. The type of people who go to malls are now third worlders who are used to trampling one-another in a stampede for a religious festival such as they have around the kabbah in Mecca or basically any Hindu festival. The Latin Americans get a lot of free money from the government they use to buy crap at the mall.… Read more »

Girls don’t want to MARRY them, they just want to ride their fish as long as possible.

Then they want to trade up to a high-status beta cuck to ‘marry’ after they have blown their beauty and best years and health riding the exoticock carousel.

It’s a shame that so many high status males are brainwashed to buy these used cars that carefully hide their carfax.

The only white girls MARRYING as mudsharks are trailer trash. Marrying exoticock is actually a Step UP from their local boys.

I’m the same age as ZMan, and unusual among my acquaintance in that I never played video games. Never saw the attraction, just seemed like a waste of time. It upsets me to see grown men today blowing money on game systems. Recently a co-worker showed me a picture of her new granddaughter – her son was lying back on the couch, cradling his infant under his chin like an old phone handset, both his hands occupied with a video game. There was something so wrong about the spectacle that it stuck with me.

Over the week following it I Played the ‘Bowling’ sports simulation exclusively. The other titles were mind-numbing.

It is interesting the way that video games have become imbued with such hoodoo to the Boomers, in much the same way that rock and roll was once viewed by their parents.

In at least one city in Germany migrants outnumber native Germans. It made international news in groups I follow.

Women are sometimes capable executants of national power: the Byzantine Empress Irene comes naturally to mind, as does Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Maria Theresa of Austria, even (in our own time) Margaret Thatcher.

You are right that the U.S. is much farther along than Europe. A few weeks ago, I applied for a residence permit in Austria. I introduced myself to the female bureaucrat by saying, “ I am English but I can speak German.” She responded by saying, “ That is good because in Austria we speak German.”

I really believe that an equivalent statement about English made by a bureaucrat in the U.S. (probably also in the U.K.) would result in summary termination. And in many parts of the U.S., such a statement would not even be true.

I DO pay attention to the likes of Occupy, BLM, ANTIFA , ANSWER, Socialist Workers Party, Soros, Steyer and other left wing radical and very violent loonie groups and their big money (billionaire) supporters. These lefty wackos – like all leftist groups – are expert propagandists. They tailor their public message into reasonable sounding objectives… Read more »

Soros, Steyer, and their cronies fear the Scots-Irish based culture (as described by Bad Guest below) so much. You can’t buy your way into it, and those guys are used to buying their way in to whatever they want to do.

So they would rather crush it. They fear the Scots-Irish more than they fear any sort of totalitarianism—of course they plan to call the totalitarian shots. They might be in for a surprise on that one.

“By the way, 46% of present day Russians have a positive view of Stalin. Thus is the power of propaganda”

Just look at the “honest Abe” “greatest President” Bullshit
Then read this and see if you can find one histo0ric inaccuracy in it

Rereading the article, I note the coming Purge and Great Terror: we now have political officers from top to bottom, relentlessly enforcing Correct Thought.

It seems you are expecting the bang while I only hear the whimper.

“Young males, disconnected from the culture, are searching for something to give purpose to their lives.”

Indeed they are. Having a family used to be the number one answer to this – that is, taking on the big bad world and creating a safe and happy little universe for oneself and the wife of his youth to raise some decent future citizens – but as long as so many young men bounce around from one “relationship” to another and waste their lives working on “game” then the cultural Marxists have won.

I don’t think we’re as bad off as many think. We may be seeing an influx of refugees from Canada as things accelerate there. They will be woke.

I see the white shitlibs getting forced out of the dem party (happening already) and taking up white identity with a vengeance. The black population will be isolated geographically and politically, shrinking steadily over time as welfare benefits are withdrawn. Asians will pretty much align with the whites, and the Mexicans will be repatriated or assimilated. Equilibrium will be restored, there will not be a race war or any large blood letting. The white lower and working classes will be rejuvenated by Trump’s America first manufacturing policy.

We can’t fix things or make them right until we understand how they got broken in the first place. Women didn’t go nuts of their own accord. Back in the day they the would have rejected feminism and proggie liberalism en masse – and embraced the Alt-Right in droves. Back in the good ol’ days, they lived in a man’s world. Consider: House work used to be a 24/7/365 proposition. Being a mother and home maker was a wholesome and respected profession. The perfect woman of the 40’s ran her home with the precision of a Swiss watch. Her home… Read more »

Historically and universally, the family was an economic unit of production: Husbands and wives, parents and children, perhaps other family members and employees worked on the family farm or in the family business. Being a housewife was hard work and required a great deal of skill. A man married not just because he wanted someone to wash and iron his pants, but someone to make his pants to begin with, possibly starting with wool from his own sheep. Women earned a great deal of self-respect and the respect of others. With industrialization, urbanization and affluence, the family gradually shifted from… Read more »

There is plenty a woman can do around the house and farm. My wife and daughter homeschool our grandchildren and nieces. They manage some of our breeding program, organize family get togethers, and holidays, and a bunch of other stuff.

They’re happier than when they were in the man’s world and twice as engaged with each other and the family.

There is a movement back to the land. Young American men are operating small farms again. (No, they’re not all libertarians.) The internet is allowing rugged individualists to actualize their visions without isolation. The moronic chattering skulls of MSM inside the Overton Bubble are driving others out of the bubble. It’s all good.

My point (and I did have one) was that it’s unclear to me to what extent video games will be a distraction for the young men of this generation. I see it being at least as bad as sportsball.

The SJWs are busy ruining video games. Pretty soon the only thing left for young men will be the real world. It’s not going to end well, as Z said.

It would follow that we’re due for a new era in the endless cycle of things. Before Modernism, before even Postmodernism – there was Romanticism. I guess you can put the whole steampunk vibe into that strain of culture. I think it’s too early to tell which way things are going to wiggle but your educated guess is as good as any.

Steampunk was spawned by anime, it had a very brief existence limited to a very small demographic, mainly escapist fantasy drama queens centered in a few specific areas tied to the ‘artistic left’ the alt right rejects what Steampunk represents and sees it as part of the PROBLEM.

Los Angeles still had Americans

The Los Angeles Municipal Code states that Los Angeles shall be considered American territory until such time as Steve Sailer permanently moves out of the city or dies. At such time the city shall be relinquished to the Mexican government.

Make fash fash. Know the battlefield. Women, drawn to cities and urban jobs, eventually outnumber the men. They are starved for mates, and dominate urban industry such as academia, bureaucracy, and media. We hear their cacaphony of signaling as they use the shifting fads of enforcement as they try to one-up each other for position, for mates, for pension. When good males are in shortage, opportunists adopt the plumage to attract them. It’s a fashion war. Females in media are driving a fashion war. The good guys were over there getting killed in Vietnam. So the seducers became bad boy… Read more »

“Germans are not about to become minorities in their own country.”

Not so fast.

Check out the immigration figures and the demographics.

Germans WILL be a minority in their own country, probably some time this century.

‘In the west, whites will be a minority in a generation.” Only in the urban areas. I travel extensively around the country, and am currently in the rural heart of the Keystone State. Out here, old America is alive and kicking. Men lined up at the gun and hunting counter at the small, general store, buying hunting licenses and wearing camo clothing. Their young male children similarly attired, with short hair, no tattoos and muddy boots. And the women look …. normal. American flags abound, along with their yellow, Gadsden counterparts. Farms, rural homesteads and the yards of closely packed,… Read more »

Not to sound like the old geezer but if they label fits I guess . . . . . . . Haven’t seen anything in this latest batch of up-and-coming young males to inspire me about any sort of reversal of fortune for the white race. They’ve been bludgeoned by big media to be never ending apologists for the savages that infest the cities. Now big brother is promoting mating with these animals. Until these young white males grow a backbone and defend their women against the onslaught of urban and third world filth we will very likely be an… Read more »
