I swear, the constant “I don’t care about culture, I have guns and food, I’m good” and “culture doesn’t matter, don’t you see we have forever wars to stop” while never stopping to think about how ALL of this stems from culture is so intentionally blind.

Yes agorist-man… if we all just stopped paying taxes tomorrow, the whole Ponzi scheme collapses overnight. True. Tell me, why hasn’t that happened? Why do people keep serving the exploitative machine? Culture. Culture is the answer.

And if you put the cart before the horse and check out before tipping the scales against the machine, every “normie” that you say “doesn’t matter” and “fuck the left and the right” is going to be weaponized against you.

They won’t just leave you alone. You can’t just check out. Gamergate, Ruby ridge, and this “return to the land” whites only community are proof of that. The machine will protect their consensus by making examples of you to keep the normies in line and stop them from copying you.

Because THEY know it just as much as we do. THEY are just as aware that, if we could get everyone on board, we can atlas-shrugged them into irrelevance overnight. But ONLY if we CARE about culture and get a crucial mass of people on board.

Otherwise, you’re just cutting yourself off.

I agree. Culture matters.

But culture is downstream to philosophy. That is where we need to focus if we want to move the world towards freedom.

Indeed.

That means seizing these moments.

For example, explaining that the majority of the vitriol over this is a hatred of objective beauty due to a philosophy of envy. Then, further, trying to then direct those who respond positively to that point towards concepts of objective value, rugged individualism, and cooperation against the poisonous ideologies that seek to replace the beautiful in this world.

“You want beautiful women and art? Well these people want to keep that from you in order to keep you demoralized. The proper path forward, towards beauty and true happiness (rather than self-loathing hedonism), is this way.”

What will really drill it in is a movie that is based on this. It doesn't have to have Sydney Sweeney in it. Just about how people recognize objective beauty and why it matters.

The path between philosophy and culture is art.

Agreed. Sadly, I simply lack the visual art skills required for film/painting/etc. My skills are in literature and music. I’m writing a novel and I write music.

Like my song “beach glass”:

Like a sculpture, glowing in the rays of sunlight,

The glass, a prism for the world

Slowly scraping at the edges

Mocking the vision of this little girl

She watched as her own likeness

Began to fade

As food and poison began to blur

The smallest compromises she ever made

Added up until all that was left of her

Was the glass

To finish the lyrics since I was at work and couldn’t until now

Like a sculpture, glowing in the rays of sunlight,

The glass, a prism for the world

Slowly scraping at the edges

Mocking the vision of this little girl

She watched as her own likeness

Began to fade

As food and poison began to blur

The smallest compromises she ever made

Added up until all that was left of her

Was the glass

Don’t be beach glass, shaped by every compromise

By the current, till there’s nothing to recognize

You are one, you are whole,

Please don’t sell away your soul

Piece by piece

Till there’s nothing left

Don’t be beach glass

I’m our lifetimes, all of us have felt it

All the pressure from the waves

Slowly scraping at the edges

Commanding us to all be the same

The edges we stand on to be who we are

Are scraped away, as we’re carried afar

Before we know it we’re on a distant shore

Cast onto the sand

Can’t recognize us anymore

We’re just glass

Don’t be beach glass, shaped by every compromise

By the current, till there’s nothing to recognize

You are one, you are whole,

Please don’t sell away your soul

Piece by piece

Till there’s nothing left

Don’t be beach glass

I’m sure you’ve heard their insistence some times saying

“If you’d just back down, there’d be less pain to go around

Don’t be so sure, there’s no way you can be so

Just let it go, let it go”

Well I say

Don’t be beach glass, shaped by every compromise

By the current, till there’s nothing to recognize

You are one, you are whole,

Please don’t sell away your soul

Piece by piece

Till there’s nothing left

Don’t be beach glass

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Fucking clown
