I was a conservative once. But today’s conservatives are no longer conservative. A word has entered the modern lexicon: conservakin. Those who identify as conservative, but who are not. They are conservative in name only, those who conserve only the status quo and the incremental victories of the left, those who ultimately have failed even to conserve conservatism itself. If they cannot even conserve their own principles, then they cannot be trusted to protect us and our civilisation. A newer, more humorous term has also emerged: cuckservative.
Conservatism has been a movement in constant retreat. We often blame the blight and decay of modern society on the left, but mainstream conservatives must be held equally culpable. In many ways they are worse. We know the left are a menace to civilisation, but we expected conservatives to defend it.
Conservatives are useless, cowardly failures
Conservatives had one job: to preserve order and western civilisation from a loose coalition of secularists, scroungers, unmarriageable women, militant sexual deviants, ghetto blacks and third world immigrants. That’s all they had to do, and they have failed utterly.
They have crumbled in the face of every enemy advance and abandoned one principle after another. Instead of taking a corrective, reactionary course of action to reverse the leftist advance they have gradually assumed the policies of the left as their own in order to remain popular and electable. They have failed to limit the abuse of the bloated welfare state and the breakdown of morality. They have failed to conserve anything of value or beauty. They’ve been out-debated and out-manoeuvred by sexually deviant disease vectors that comprise only 2% of the population. They have failed to reverse, stop or exert any sort of control over immigration and the crime-wave it has caused.
Conservatives have a fixation on constitutions, liberty, free speech and gun rights. It seems admirable at first, but in the meantime they have let the left shred to ribbons everything else we care about and they didn’t need to take anybody’s guns to do it. Traditional families? Gone. Sanctity of marriage? Gone. And all without a shot being fired. The left are wrecking everything so quickly that by the time they come for your guns there will be nothing left that is worth fighting for.
How many times do you hear the tired phrase ‘I disapprove of what you say but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it’? This is something only said by constitutional conservatives. The left don’t care about your right to free speech. They want you to shut up, go away and die. Stop protecting them. They’re not interested in protecting you. They are evil. Stop indulging in the political cuckoldry of affording liberties to people who do not do the same for you.
In the interests of civilisation people should not be allowed to speak openly in praise of or in support of Communism, uncontrolled immigration, gay ‘marriage’, transgenderism, abortion and the consequent sale of murdered body parts and all the other degeneracy that the left has weaponised. These people need to be tarred-and-feathered, thrown in jail, set on fire and launched into the ocean with giant catapults. Because of conservatives’ adherence to the universal right to free speech these people have been allowed to corrode society with their drivel and shut down traditionalist opinions with their own Orwellian language.
Instead of seeking solutions, the conservative eyes the potential for profit and power in the social and ethnic chaos the left has wrought. They have failed to even conserve a safe atmosphere where one can openly dissent against the progressive narrative. They have betrayed their own principles, and by doing so they have betrayed us. Between the open assault of the left, and the betrayal by those we once thought of as friends, it is betrayal that is by far the worse of the two.
Why has conservatism not been an effective defence against the progressives? Why has conservatism been an utter failure? Because it was supposed to be. Because they’re an limp-wristed obstacle to actually getting things done. Because the left and right serve the same globalist masters. As much as there is a leftward ratchet, there is a rightward one too, working in synergy with the left. Modern conservatism is not diametrically opposed to the left, but at right angles to it and together they are dragging us toward a globalist dystopia for the benefit of the select few at the very top.
Globalists wish to create a disjointed, culture-less society made up of slaves with no connection to one another or to the soil upon which they stand. This broken society will find it extremely difficult to unite itself against its masters. A coffee-coloured slave race who are all equally worthless and expendable.
Once you realise the goal of the globalists, and how both the left and right work towards that same goal with different but complementary strategies then the continued failure of modern politics begins to make much more sense. Conservative parties are only getting in the way of a real solution.
Libertarian horizons
As I saw conservatives abandon their principles to chase the left I turned to libertarianism. I still like many libertarians now – the forthright, traditional and radically conservative ones. They’re essentially good, honest people. However many others that we have to share this world with are not. Libertarianism will not work while we have such a fractured and divided society. Libertarianism will not work while the evil forces of progressivism are still able to punish those who go their own way.
The left cannot suffer a single soul to deviate from their ideology. It is not enough to merely agree with them, you must all clap and cheer and signal how progressively enlightened and doubleunracist you are. If one person dissents and escapes unpunished, then others might realise that the leftist movement is built on deceit and a perversion of Natural law.
A system built on such shaky foundations must crush with overwhelming firepower anybody who threatens to tip it over. This is why even the most trivial transgression of political correctness must be ruthlessly punished out of all proportion to the crime committed. See the recent case of Prof. Tim Hunt and his harmless aside about women and how it cost him his job in the field of cancer research.
The left are evil
Modern conservatives and libertarians think that appeasement and a live and let live attitude will pacify the left – a people who murder unborn children and then sell their body parts. Unborn children are the most vulnerable members of the nation and yet the left sanctions their murder and dismemberment-for-profit. The left are not misguided. They are utterly evil and abhorrent to Nature.
Many conservatives and libertarians haven’t yet realised the true nature of the enemy they face. They think they can debate and appease the ideological zealots of the left. The left will never leave you alone and they will not allow even a single soul to publicly stray from the progressive path. They’re not going to call a halt to their master-plan just because we move to the country and homeschool our children.
Similarly, the free market alone will not sort everything out. Corporations will pursue profits, and that means catering to the mob and its leftist agenda. The shifting demographics of Western states means that business, like politics, will cater less to the indigenous Europeans and more to the hostile invaders. The free market has already outsourced many of our jobs to cheap labour overseas and brought them in to replace us in our factories and farms because corporations will always put profit before the nation.
A second German high school has instructed its female pupils to dress modestly in order to avoid offending Muslims. Conservatives and libertarians gnash their teeth saying we shouldn’t tell people how to dress in order to appease foreign cultures, and on a simplistic level they are right, but they miss the fundamental issue. The saddest part of this story is that it took the presence of radical Islam for us to stop dressing our teenaged girls as whores. Why could we have not had the courage to preserve the modesty of our women for ourselves?
There is no profit in telling women to dress modestly so the free market does not care. There is no profit in telling women to stay at home and raise children. Women who are homemakers devote 100% of their labour to their family. When they work and consume it goes to faceless corporations and bureaucrats. Whose side do you think government, media and big business are on? The free market wants women to work and consume instead of raising children. The free market doesn’t need European children because it is more profitable to put women to work and supplant our disappeared children with cheap third world imports. The free market is hostile to the nation, the traditional family and thus civilisation itself.
The free market has gotten us clickbait scam journalism. The internet is clogged with adverts and pornography. The free market wants to feed you with the cheapest high-fructose corn syrup and aspartame riddled tripe that it can get away. Money-lenders are degenerate scum but the free market has granted them legitimacy. There is no profit to be made in telling people to enjoy the free pleasures of reading by the fire with their children.
If a woman wants an abortion then the free market will give her one, and if someone wants to buy the organs and body parts of those murdered children then there is a merchant who will sell them. The free market has put a monetary figure on human life, and turned dead children’s organs into commodities to be traded. This is wholly evil and these people must be destroyed. You do not debate these people or let the free market sort it out. You physically remove these people from society using whatever means necessary.
If evil and progressivism were not so deeply entrenched and normalised in the modern world then maybe libertarianism would work. It’s a lofty ideal, but how to get there from where we currently find ourselves? A free market with morals and traditional values? Capitalists, bankers and merchants find their morals only when somebody points a gun at them.
Finding a different way out
Although society has been on a downward slope for centuries, its most rapid decline and deviance from Natural law has occurred in the era of democracy. It is extremely unlikely that we can reverse this decline under the same system. If the left are evil, and the right are weak and misguided, and libertarianism has no immune system against either leftism or the pursuance of profit over people, then where else can we go?
Because we are not concerned with democracy, the free market, being elected, or even of being mildly popular, we become free to think outside the realm of mainstream conservative ideas. We are not shackled to modern notions of egalitarianism and democracy. Constitutional documents and charters have become a burden to conservatives and limit one’s intellectual freedom of movement while being utterly ignored or perverted by the left. The left ignores these documents, or reinterprets them as they see fit to suit their own purposes. If the Constitution hasn’t protected the traditional family but allows for gay ‘marriage’, transgenderism and the murder of children then why is it worthy of your loyalty? While conservatives and even libertarians remain wedded to a constitution or the idea of rights they will always be outmanoeuvred by their enemies who have no such scruples.
A temporary loss of freedom is not the biggest danger facing the European people. The danger we face today is extinction. We could live as slaves for a thousand years and there would still be a day where we could rise up and win back our liberty. Tyranny will not be the end of Europe. If the identity of the European people is lost through massive foreign colonisation then it will never be regained. Once the blood of Europe dies it cannot be resurrected from the mongrel race that overruns our civilisation. Freedom can be lost and won back. Once our blood and identity are gone they are extinguished forever.
Within our lifetimes there will be billions more Africans. Where will they go? What will they do when they get there? What will be the point in being free if we disappear forever under this tidal wave? Liberty is a nebulous concept that means different things to different people. Extinction however, is forever, for everybody. The single-minded pursuit of liberty must take second place unless and until we can preserve the soul of Europe.
I think the writer misunderstands what is happening. Everything has a reason.
When the Berlin Wall came down, the old Soviet Union finally realized that it could not defeat the West militarily. it had always regarded the West, and in particular the U.S., as its sworn enemy. But after the Wall came down Americans thought we would be kissy-face with Russia, and everything would be rainbows and unicorns.
Nothing really changed, though. The KGB became the FSB — the same players; only the initials changed. America is still in its sights, and they have been extremely successful by their policy and strategy of targeting institutions instead of sabre-rattling.
For example, when Pope John Paul II faced down the Soviets in Poland in 1980, the KGB made plans to co-opt and infiltrate the Vatican. Their long term plans bore fruit with the election of the current Pope Francis — an avowed Communist with an agenda of confiscating the wealth earned by the West, and handing it to those who did not earn it.
There are only five entities that control almost all the American print media, television, and large parts of the internet. Those entities have been heavily infiltrated by ‘fellow travelers’, either because the moles believe in world socialism, or because they are susceptible to other inducements like blackmail.
A central target of America is its morality. Does “morality” sound old timey? Old fashioned? Then you’ve become one of the many millions of head-nodders, unwittingly propagandized by the constant media drumbeat that ridicules moral behavior. No country has ever survived after its moral foundation has been undermined; no exceptions. We are now at the stage of Planned Parenthood’s doctors selling babies’ body parts for profit. That would have sounded preposterous even 30 years ago. Now it’s merely a story on DRUDGE.
In a college history class I took several years ago, the professor showed a 1930’s newsreel of a large crowd of communists in New York, waving hundreds of identical signs that said: “SMASH THE BOY SCOUTS!!”
I asked the professor, why? He laughed and said he didn’t know. But I knew. The goblins released in the Russian revolution were attacking morality, and the Boy Scouts teach moral behavior. That attack has escalated steadily. Now conservatives are being demoralized, but they don’t understand why. The reason is that American institutions, from universities, to Christian churches, to media outlets, etc., have been infiltrated by people supported by the FSB. Those people and organizations are attacking everything good about our country. It is a deliberate policy. And it is working.
It does not require a majority of Board directors in an organization to radically change the organization’s course over a few years. Only one or two activists are necessary. They gradually change course by befriending other directors, and then asking for help with a proposed motion. An innocuous motion, but one that will help set the future agenda. They trade votes to get their policies adopted.
The FSB has also heavily infiltrated every major envronmental organization; no exceptions. Environmental politics are used to attack anything that produces wealth. Without a strong and growing middle class, people become demoralized.
The preposterous “man-made global warming” scare and the concomitant demonization of “carbon” is a good example. The rise in the completely harmless trace gas CO2 has caused a measurable greening of the planet. Agricultural productivity has risen substantially as a result of more CO2. The one-third of the global population that subsists on less than $2 a day are avoiding starvation due directly to the rise in that beneficial trace gas. But the same enviro groups push for a drastic reduction in CO2. That would cause widespread starvation — which will then be blamed on ‘greedy capitalists’.
This is not something that has happened spontaneously. It is a specific plan, implemented for the purpose of destroying the U.S. It has been spectacularly successful.
When you accept that there is such a plan in effect, then everything we see happening makes perfect sense. The free market has enabled hundreds of millions of people to raise their standard of living, and extend their lifespans, and gain much better health, wealth, and happiness. But listening to the FSB’s “fellow travelers”, we are told that the free market is evil. Now even the Pope preaches that nonsense. Politics has replaced religion in the Vatican (I am Catholic, but I also know that Satan quotes Scripture.)
There was a KGB defector in the 1980’s who warned specifically what is happening. Most folks have never heard of him, but everything he predicted back then has happened. You can see an interview with him here, recorded thirty years ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=152&v=vLqHv0xgOlc
I don’t know the answer. We now only get one media narrative from all of them, and the free internet is now under attack (by ‘Net Neutrality’). The current President was raised by Communists his whole life, and surrounded only by Communists. Anyone who still believes what’s happening is just from random chance is credulous and naive. That includes most folks who were ‘educated’ by the government’s pervasive .edu industry. Critical thinking is no longer permitted.
Unless something drastic happens, we have lost the war. The goal is a World Government run by the UN along the lines of the present EU, which is run by an army of nameless, faceless, unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who arbitrarily make law — including the unelected EU President, de Rumpuy. Have you ever heard of him?
There will be a *very* small clique in charge, easily controlled by descendants of the old Soviets — and folks, neither you nor I will be part of that ruling clique. Resistance will be futile. Our job will be to produce for the elite. And yes, there will be gulags, without any doubt. The Soviets will have won in the end.
Tell me I’m wrong. Please. And explain why.
“Resistance will be futile.”? Then you have already given up and so I would presume to suggest that this place is not for you – here at least we are prepared to try and construct a better future, not for ourselves but for our descendants down all their days.
And, yes, that future can only hope to belong to those who haven’t given up, to those who are at least willing to try to shape it. Really, Smokey, are you that bereft of vertebrae and testosterone that all you can offer is a grovelling catalogue of excuses for your own moral and intellectual inadequacies?
Sincerely, I do hope that this response of mine has explained, as you requested, why you are wrong. If not, then the fault is mine, a product of my inability to express in simple words what is patently obvious to any rational organism, and is therefore no fault of yours.
So please accept my apologies if I have offended you, My only excuse is that I have no time left for niceties, for these are difficult times. They are short, these times, of demanding attention and do not allow any slack. Equivocation or dissimulation are but distractions – we are in a survival fight, and this is no time for either simple evasions or metaphorical gloves.
And I would add, Sir, that you and yours are unlikely to make it through.
Smokey, I note that your post has nothing to do with the points the author raises. I suspect you are a troll, with a one-size-fits all post you didn’t bother to modify for this small circulation blog.
Even if your post is sincere, it is obvious you are just another conspiracy hobbyist, not even a Cuckservative.
I agree with Voss – I smell troll… I didn’t understand most of this and did not see what it had to do with this post… and I think I may have read it before or at least different parts of it somewhere…
We all have our theories… and many will agree with most theories… I have my own and have seen too much crazy shit not to believe my own mind… but this is not the place for crazy… this is a place for solutions – for answers… for a plan. There are many that will come here and agree with what Simon says but will think to themselves – there’s nothing I can do… this is useless… to them I say – stay out of the way and let us do what we have to do – some men know that something is very wrong with the world but feel afraid to say anything… to them I say speak up and stand your ground and others will hear you and come stand at your side… some men know what is wrong but don’t know what their part in the fight is – to them I say – you can’t run from destiny… some men wont stand and fight for what belongs to them… their rights, their culture… their faith… the future of their people… and to them I say – this is how the world got into this mess.
Smokey, you’re wrong because people are waking up to it. The institutions tasked with effecting these changes are having trouble keeping up the charade. Secessionism, once unthinkable during the global boom, is now on the lips of many. Even my local rag of a newspaper reported just the other day that half of my state is not in favour of gay marriage, a direct affront to the “few, bitter holdouts” lie that has been foisted on us for over a decade.
The world today is not safer for the globalist movement than it was a decade ago. It is our duty to keep pushing. Every man who stands against them saps their resources. Will they break? We cannot know, but we must try if we claim to have a moral bone in our body.
Sadly your essay seems to smack of a soul who has searched for every reason not to try.
That’s the easy way. I lived it for the better part of a decade.
No more.
The clique better be well armed.
Because they need the mob on their side, and ruling by the whims of a Mob has not worked that well.
As Robespierre will attest.
My comment above generated a number of replies like this:
Sincerely, I do hope that this response of mine has explained, as you requested, why you are wrong.
But not one reply refuted anything I wrote. Not one reply was any more than an opinion. An assertion — and a baseless assertion at that.
No one gave any practical ways to reverse course. No one contradicted the facts I raised. I really wonder if any commenter even viewed the video I linked to.
The replies were all very similar: mostly name-calling (troll; cuckservative; bereft of vertebrae and testosterone; conspiracy hobbiest, etc., etc.) Name-calling may make you feel good. But it doesn’t provide any solutions.
I am 67, and I have always been a Conservative. I believe in the Constitution and the original Bill of Rights, and not much else. From the replies above I get the impression that all of you are younger. You don’t have the perspective to see that the Enlightenment was only a blip in history; that the usual state of human affairs is a dictatorship. No one has refuted my explanation that what is happening today is part of a well thought out plan by America’s enemy. As a result, all you can do is lash out with labels. No one has provided any sort of concrete plan to remedy this situation.
Most folks are the same. You are like the black population in America, wanting to bring about a race war they think they can win. They can’t. Neither can you, without a very good strategy in place. But none of you has proposed anything but “Resist we much!”
That won’t work. One by one you will be knocked off. So tell me, what’s your plan? How are you going to get the mainstream media into some friendly hands — or at least a good part of it? How are you going to get morality taught in the government .edu industry again? How are you going to convince the average American that the UN fully intends to become the de facto World Government — they’re more than halfway there already, you know. And they are NOT our friend.
I understand the frustration that triggers all the name-calling. Society is moving in a distopian direction, and peoples’ tendency is to lash out at the message carrier. But really, do any of you have a real, concrete plan? A policy that has more than a slight chance of prevailing? So far, I haven’t seen anything credible suggested. But if you have any good suggestions, I’m all ears.
Smokey,
This article was mainly about my journey from a mainstream conservative to becoming the reactionary, radical traditionalist and identitarian I am now. We are not constitutionalists here. The left don’t care for constitutions. Constitutions limit the freedom of action of conservatives. I’m not American so I find it very strange for people to put a document or a flag ahead of the survival of their own people. The survival of my people is my constitution. Conservative politics, while well-meaning, has not helped us, and now we have a real fight on our hands.
We agree that there is a deliberate plan to undermine morality in the West. There is a deliberate plan to destroy the identity of Europeans through uncontrolled third world immigration and propaganda. I think it is possible that the ruination of the West is being driven by remnants of the Soviet Union. I mention these things in this very article and elsewhere. I’ve even written about the parallels between the West today and the gulags of the Soviet Union:
http://www.thisblogisdangerous.com/the-modern-world-is-a-prison-with-invisible-walls/
Although I do engage in it from time to time, this isn’t a political commentary blog. There are many others who write political commentary better than I could, so I leave it to them. I never wanted this blog to be a list of complaints about the modern world. Again, there are many more blogs like that on the internet. There are plenty of other blogs offering theories. We know what’s going wrong. We know the people who are pursuing this agenda. They don’t know who we are.
You talk about plans to resist and survive. That is what the Iron Legion is about. There is much more we do than can be written about here. You ask how we are going to do certain things or achieve certain objectives? Some things we won’t discuss in public. We won’t telegraph our intentions. This isn’t just a blog. This an online meeting place and rallying cry for men who want to organise in real life, take militant action and build resilient communities.
Knocked off one by one? No, we’re not lone wolves. We are a warrior order looking into the future. I’m glad you’ve found us. You’re welcome to read, see what we are about, and comment but first bear in mind we are more interested in real world action than political theory.
In that case I wish you the best. For the most part we agree.
In my case, I always vote. That’s something. If every self-identified conservative had voted in either of the last two elections, the Dems would have lost. Maybe people are mad enough this time to get out and vote.
I put in my military service in Viet Nam <–(old timey spelling), and if I have to I'll fight again. But elections give me some hope. Reagan made a big difference. Maybe someone else like him will come along again.
One thing I'm sure of: everyone's view changes between his 30's and his 60's. Mine did. So good luck, I sincerely hope you're on the winning side.
And with that, I'll sign off and lurk…
I understand the reasoning in this article. This is said:
“While conservatives and even libertarians remain wedded to a constitution or the idea of rights they will always be outmanoeuvred by their enemies who have no such scruples.”
I think that you miss what comes before the Constitution. The Constitution is only the expression of Liberty for those who as John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
The Constitution is not first, belief in God is.
Smokey–
Try some of Mark Hackard’s essays at ‘Soul of the East.’ While you weren’t watching, Russia has returned to its Orthodox roots, rebuilt thousands of churches that the communists destroyed, and has a leader who scorns the West for its moral decay.
I agree, C7. Anyone who thinks modern Russia is just a continuation of the old Soviet Union is very ignorant, probably hasn’t been to Russia since the end of the USSR, and obviously doesn’t know what he is talking about.
I have been to Russia and it is definitely not a communist state in any sense of the word; as a matter of fact, I would say the USA has more in common with Marx’s idea of a Communist state than modern Russia does.
Following the end of the Cold War we’ve seen that is has actually been modern Americanism which has been more corrosive towards tradition and religion, and it has been exported everywhere in the West. Tradition, faith and reason survived better under Communism. That’s a pretty damning indictment of modern America and the West.
Great website and material that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading. Much of it resonates strongly with me and I yearn to find like minded people here in a the states. Good luck to you and your kindred. May the God of your forefathers guide and protect you.
