Reno To Damascus

As the Trump story arc reaches a conclusion over the next few weeks, there will be a lot of writing and talking about the meaning of the last four years. The racketeers of the conservative movement have already concluded that the last four years were just an anomaly and they can go back to the same old rackets. Like career criminals, they learn nothing from the past. Others appear to have been chastened by the experience and are coming out of the other end questioning their old ways.

One of those post-Trump men appears to be the editor of First Things, the conservative religious journal founded by Richard John Neuhaus. The editor, R. R. Reno, published this in the old left-wing magazine Newsweek, in which he sounds more like Pat Buchanan than the typical conservative. In fact, his essay probably would have been accepted by the old paleoconservative journal, Chronicles, as an olive branch to mend the three-decade rift between First Things and the paleos.

What makes Reno’s post interesting is that he was a fervent anti-Trump advocate the last four years. He participated in the now infamous National Review symposium, in which they demanded the rules of the Republican Party be changed to prevent Trump from winning the nomination. His contribution was to offer up the left-wing slur that Trump was a fascist in a business suit and that the people supporting him were stupid and disgusting. They were “trumpster diving.”

There seems to be a great deal of spiritual distance between the 2016 R. R. Reno and the 2020 R. R. Reno, at least in tone, if not substance. In fairness to Reno, he has not been a running dog lackey of Conservative Inc. He has been more of a barking dog around the conservative caravan, as it follows the Left from fad to fad. Often a critic, but never an opponent and always there by the caravan at each stop. He is a critic of conservatism, but one welcome at their events.

This is not a new posture by Reno. During the 2016 Republican primary he made some very sensible observations about Trump and the dynamic in the primary. While most of the conservative racketeers were in the streets rending their garments to show their liberal masters, they were horrified by what was happening, Reno noticed the obvious and was willing to say it. That said, he made sure to underscore that he thought Trump was a “dangerous figure in our public life.”

This is not the first time the First Things crew has struggled to maintain their position as friendly critic of conservatism. Back in 1992, they found themselves in a similar spot when Bill Buckley was purging the paleocons. Most of what First Things claims to support fall on the paleo side, but the money and good living were on the neocon side, so they threw in with Buckley. As George Washington once said, no man is so virtuous as to refuse the highest bidder.

Now, to be even more fair, Reno and the First Things crew could simply be working the same racket they have for years. On the one hand they advocate traditional conservative positions on culture, economics, politics and so on, while publicly opposing anyone that attempts to build a political movement on those issues. They supported the Buchanan message, but not the messenger, for example. They sympathized with the Trump voters, but opposed their candidate.

We will know soon enough if the social conservatives from Conservative Inc. had an epiphany during the Trump years. The rally scheduled for January 6th in the Imperial Capital is both unprecedented and a harbinger. Unlike the Buchanan or Perot movements, the Trump movement will outlive its founder. The people who voted for Trump did so knowing that the time for reform is running out. Many now think it has run out and it is time for something to replace the corrupt system.

Where the establishment social conservatives like R. R. Reno come down with regards to things like the America First movement, led by Nick Fuentes, will reveal if they are just running the old grift or have had an awakening. CPAC is next month in Orlando Florida and AFPAC will be holding their event there at the same time. Last year AFPAC drew hundreds and this year will be even bigger. The people getting tens of thousands in the streets of DC are building a genuine movement now.

For social conservatives like Mr. Reno and the First Things crowd, Fuentes and his groypers should be their ideal vehicle. They can be a little coarse, for sure, but that’s true of all young people. Otherwise, they make a clean presentation and are not afraid to express their Christian faith as part of the politics. While the First Things people are at CPAC next month, they should consider swinging by AFPAC. Mr. Reno could sit down and have a chat with Fuentes. It can be arranged.

The question for social conservatives with regards to politics is what compromises should be made in order to participate in the system. This was the dilemma faced by Buckley and his conservative movement. In their case, there was no compromise they were unwilling to make in order to have a place at the table. For social conservatives to avoid the same fate, they will from time to time need to back someone who is willing to go inside and flip over those tables.

That should be the takeaway for someone like R. R. Reno. Trump was always an imperfect leader, but he was available and willing to go inside the Temple and toss over those tables. He was never a savior, just a disruption in the system. The people who voted for Trump understood this, for the most part. They knew if he busted things up, then it would open the door for the social changes long advocated by social conservatives and the writers of journals like First Things.

The great mistake of the American Right was to accept the proposition that the Left gets to pick their leaders. The Left told them to jettison Buchanan and the paleocons, so they did and got nothing for their trouble. One lesson of the Trump phenomenon is that this does not have to be the rule. Social conservatives can pick their own leaders and make their own tables. That should be the lesson to the leaders of social conservatism as they come to terms with Trump.

There will be no reconciliation. America is broken, unless conservatives want to be ruled and represented by queers, menopausal harpies and harridans, and socialists. Conservatives of whatever stripe or tribe may be willing to talk and compromise. The left can’t. They will tear the country apart, and tear themselves apart unless they are stopped. Only a Pinochet or a Stalin can prevent that now.

More censorship, more surveillance, less privacy, more gubbimint intrusion. Of course you’ll fight.

I’m ashamed to admit it, but in a perverse way I kind of hope violence is inflicted on the Trump supporters in D.C., just enough to spark violent riots throughout the nation. The propaganda organs are setting this up as Charlottesville II, the D.C. police and National Guard are preparing to defend and assist communist terrorists, and BLM and Antifa are waiting to attack. It’s a perfect storm and could ignite nationwide strikes and riots from our side for once.

It is possible that the Law & Order crowd in FedLEO has noticed and will change accordingly. It is therefore possible (questionable if “likely”, certainly not certain) for a different outcome this time. Last time, we all saw the local DC police doing the catch & release followed by en mass dropping of charges by the Soros DA of charges against the Soros’ militias. Feds have their own prerogative in DC on federal property, and can make federal instead of state cases. Prosecutions by less-partisan or even centrist AUSA’s instead of Sorosian local ADA’s will result in much different outcomes.… Read more »

Rand Paul also took to Twitter to whine that the DA in Washington won’t be pursuing any investigation into the BLM thugs who attacked him this summer.

There is a trend on Twitter of “XYZ’s Posting Their L’s” accounts where “XYZ’s” are journalists, lesbians, professional black people, etc.

Whiny “I’ve been bullied by Antifa! Wow, just wow!” posts from conservatives like Hawley, Rand Paul, Carlson and the rest could honestly be “Conservatives Posting Their L’s” or “Republicans Posting Their L’s.” They’ll cry like bitches about being bullied but they’ll never do anything about it.

There is an opportunity going forward for an ambitious politician to capitalize on the angst and resentment of Trump’s removal. As Zman said, the GOP at large hasn’t learned a thing.

See Stephano’s post: while there still are some “based” sheriffs in small towns—and they often only get pushed out or are forced to resign after any “based” actions—be prepared to face anarcho-tyranny even outside the big cities.

Remember that this is the perennial weakness of conservatives: they downplay or look away from the evil in the big cities under the assumption that it could never spread to small town America, then they’re aghast when the same evil spreads to their comfortable retreats.

The cops in small towns are at least 50% relocations from big city LEO; astoundingly, changing the magic dirt they are walking on for their beat does not change their morality, social norms, or political beliefs.

Cops follow orders. If those giving orders are normal human beings, they will behave in a reasonable manner. If those issuing the diktats are AWRs, they will attack whites for defending themselves against Hutus. And those giving the orders tend to parallel the local political culture. Cops in Lubbock will behave very differently from those in Portland, assuming Portland still has a police department.

Particularly on a force where the officers are non-white. Filling a YT full of lead is a signing bonus for them.

I noticed in Toronto that the vast majority of cops out enforcing social distancing tyranny at protests and businesses were not white. Possibly because the white cops turned down the assignment.

Expect more and more non-white cops on the force carrying out anti-white actions with glee. The blue are not your friends.

Two paths going forward in Our future w/regards to police forces in the future.

We must form communities where we are their paymasters.

Where we aren’t, police services must be made aware that sticking to arresting criminals and eshewing political arrests is a good path for them to reach retirement age so they can enjoy those golden years.

Church Militant was popular a decade ago, but lost credibility when Vorris spent the first few years of Francis’s pontificate defending him and attacking anyone who criticized Francis.

It was whispered that a large monetary donor was influencing Vorris’s constant defense of Francis.

Not sure if Church Militant has changed its tune in recent years, but I hardly hear anyone talk about it anymore. I certainly have ignored them.

Around 21% of French babies have a specifically Muslim name. Probably another couple of percentage points of babies are also Muslim; they just have a name that could go either way. In essence, France’s future is already close to 25% Muslim. Non-Muslim Africans probably account for another 5% or more of births. Legal immigration to France is ~300k to 400k a year. Almost all of those immigrants are between the age of 18 and 37. There are about 18 million French in that age range so France is changing it young population by 2% a year.

England is in better shape that France – or the US for that matter. But a little over 10% of births in England are Muslim and probably another 10% or so are non-White. Around 1/3 of births in England are to mothers from a foreign country. Granted, Poland is the top country, but the next six are non-White, so probably 20 of the 33% are non-White. Of course, you have non-White mothers who were born in the England, so my guess is that ~25% of births in England (less for UK as a whole) are non-White with 12%-15% of the… Read more »

Our non-white population is heavily concentrated in certain areas – namely toronto, and vancouver.

Unfortunately the cancer is now spreading to smaller cities.

Asians and indians have a very low birth rate (lower than whites, and much lower than rural whites) but the immigration rate is so high that it doesn’t matter much. Rural ontario white TFR = 1.6-1.9 , non-white approximately 1.2. urban white seems to be 1.4-1.5.

I’m interested to see what happens. “Integration” is not really possible anymore because there just aren’t enough whites around.

From what I’ve seen, Conservative Inc. is scared sh**less of social conservatives. They fear that if socon ideas get traction in a campaign, most voters will flee the Conservative Inc. candidate. The funny thing is, D.J. Trump proved them wrong by welcoming socons into his coalition and not scaring off moderate voters.

You don’t even have to talk about the JQ, you just have to be willing to say “white” just like the other side does.

I don’t mean Republican.

No Constitution=No Laws.
And no ROE.

Trump in GA Jan 4: “Somebody came up to me today, Kelly, and they said, “Sir, you way up in four years, nobody can come close to me.” I said, “I’m not interested in four years, I’m interested in like eight weeks ago.

So in the several years I’ve read the Zman, there’;s been an explosion of acronyms and initialisms – most especially with regard to various sub-groups of the Right.
Anybody got the start of a list of what is current, what they mean and where the boundaries and exceptions are?

I’m still trying to find out what the different color “pills” mean

red pill, black ill, white pill, blue pill

I just nod my head and act like I know what people mean

Red pill = you’ve woken up to how things really are; equivalent to an epiphany. Black pill = you’re a defeatist or a nihilist who thinks things are going to end badly regardless of evidence to the contrary. Doomer = equivalent to “black piller.” Blue pill = you’re not yet awake; this means you’re still operating in a fantasy land, still believing the propaganda you’re told. White pill = you accept that things might turn out well or the future will be okay. SJW = ankle-biting mediocrity who thinks she/he/it can either get by in life or cover up his/her/its… Read more »

Its a matrix reference,

The red pill Unpleasant Truth
The blue pill The Narrative

A true Reactionary may be black pilled, but he knows “reforming” the system is the system’s plan for survival, and that it must first die before progress can begin. Which is white pill, if you believe the sytem will die.

Let me add that its quite possible that Biden will extradite Trump and some of his officials and low level military to Iran (to be executed of course) for killing Soleimani. That would solve his Trump problem, intimidate the deplorables, and allow outsourcing of killing dissidents — extradite them to Iran. In return Dem Party connected people get to launder all that Iranian money. It would be a symbolic move to crush Deplorables and pressure to do so would be immense. As is Defunding the Police, making all black crime legal, gun grabs, camps for Deplorables (already in the works… Read more »

That’s very silly . All of this is extremely unlikely and would result in an immediate ultra violent unwinnable civil war and a complete global economic collpase that would make Covid 19 look like the sniffles and a mild recession Its one thing to arrest a guy like the Proud Boys leader on an existing warrant and a gun beef and quite another to arrest millions of people all armed, all fearing just that scenario and many urban combat veterans, And yes the DR and allies is behind the 8 Ball on organization but its being fixed and tomorrows festivities… Read more »

When people say they hate you and want to kill you believe them. Dr. Jill and son of big guy are stupid. Stupid is right up their alley. They can always call in Chinese troop s for help.

I do believe them. Its just impractical for people to do that. The situation is such that all ten of the living Sec Defs are worried enough that the troops of all races BTW would back Trump in a coup that they are more or less publicly threatening them with jail time if they do. That tells me the system is unstable. And note its simply impossible for every policeman and soldier in the US to handle a real civil war if all of them were willing to fight which man, probably most would not. Its also unstable in China… Read more »
