What is the ideal man? Twatter Agree&Amplify writes,
The ideal man combines the culture of the (sane) liberal, and the fight/masculinity of the conservative-type.
The liberal environment — or, rather, the environment created by conservative scientist and engineer Whites that attracts a lot of White liberals who then build upon the civilized foundation — has a lot of good things going for it. If only xenophilic, virtue signaling libfags would learn that fewer Whites = fewer good things. Guys with gun racks and ATVs may scoff at bike lanes, but biking around a gleaming city unspoiled by crime and grime is a pleasure in its own right, (although perhaps not on the level of watching a sunset dip below a m0untain ridge).
Twatter a.p.hill, channeling Anonymous Conservative and the r/K theory of human organization, adds,
Libs have smaller amygdalae. Learn too late enrichment is a poison pill. Warrior kept poet in line. Feminism killed warrior.
Conservatives need liberals for their creativity and (usually) aesthetic lifestyle sensibilities. Liberals need conservatives for their guardianship and wisdom. Too few liberals, and conservative society can become static and self-satisfied. Too few conservatives, and liberal society can become self-destructive.
In this view, conservatives are the more crucial linchpin to civilization. Without liberals, we might have worse movies and fewer charming coffee shops. But without conservatives, we might have no civilization at all, having handed over the keys to the White kingdom to babbling barbarians.
So there is something to this formulation that amygdalae-deficient shitlibs, poets till the consummating end, need (if not consciously want) the pimp hand of warriors with full hearts and clear eyes to stop shitlibs from blowing up the nation and taking everyone down with them.
In normal historical cycles, the warrior would ascend in times of decadence and social disconnection to bring balance to the force. But these are not normal times. Feminism, the ideological spawn of Satan and his thousand reptilian succubi, thwarts the natural ascendancy of the warrior class, allowing the shitlib devolution to continue unhindered and unchecked. Feminists must therefore be defeated in order to pave the way for the rising warrior class to defeat the platitude-drowning shitlibs. The Chateau has not been sadistically discrediting feminists for this long without good reason.
The ((( Rebbe ))) sums it up:
[White liberal utopias] cannot exist long term. Complacency > Degeneracy > Self-Destruction.
Americans may be fated to abide this dismal decivilizing loop., no matter how many Trumpenings crest the battlefield. If I’m right, then so is my prescription: Poolside, watching the conflagration complete its appointed mission. If I’m wrong, and I hope I am, then Trump is just the first trumpet blast of many more White heralds to come.
White utopia, to whatever level is possible, can exist for a long time. The moment we start giving in to our pathological altruism is the moment we start to fall apart. There must be research out there that proves this.

They represent all that is vile and ugly in mankind – you will never see them create a Sistine Chapel or Mona Lisa.

Pleasureman at MPC nailed the chasm, I think – it’s the entire dearth of middlebrow art and media in culture. Everything is either esoteric nonsense in love with itself and its opacity to the everyman (so much so that a cleaning lady misplacing her supplies in a gallery can fool the cognoscenti into believing it is intended as art) or men getting hit in the balls. The art establishment and academy having decided that their position is to be subverters/mockers of the existing and traditional culture and its adherents, the latter are rightly suspicious of any art that is not single-dimensional paintings of Thomas Kinkaid cottages or eight point bucks in the meadow. The artists and writers are now no longer either of the mainstream culture nor true outsiders, have rejected the importance of the great and eternal themes of art (e.g., God and man, religious events, epics/sagas, etc.) and therefore their art is narrowcast to exclude the mainstream while its subject is forgettable ephemera and miscellany. Art is reduced to a bad inside joke.
The migration back to cities (as opposed to “artists’ colonies”) allows the mirage of culture – that is to say that the avant garde pose and its accompanying leftist politics feel most at home now in places dominated by the architecture given names like “colonial” or “empire” and inspired by the energy of trade and conquest.
If you choose a European capital – particularly one which mediocre college students will pay exorbitant fees to claim they’ve “studied abroad” in and return to recant annoying slogans about European “quality of life” – you’ll find that the most beloved public spaces, buildings, architectural styles, etc. were constructed with the surplus of great worldwide empires produced by colonizing the third world and exploiting its human and material resources. It’s one of those weird things they don’t notice or perhaps of which they are entirely ignorant. The warrior, the colonial governor, the commodities trader is who made these places so beautiful and pleasant, and yet those who have found themselves in the bleached bones of those great empires think that they’ve created it by sitting at a cafe table and avoiding work.

For me, the central observation to be made about modernist art and literature is that it is parasitic on the emotions of the culture that it is supposedly intended to critique. After all, modernism drips with irony. Everything it does is “ironic”. Yet that ironic viewpoint could not exist without the existence of a culture of traditional, healthy sentimentality.
In a bourgeois Shakespearian comedy, for example, all is well as end’s well. And in a bourgeois war movie, a man may be alone, and he may be afraid, and ultimately he may even be defeated, but that doesn’t have to stop him being a hero.
Modernists despise such sentimentalism as representing a rosy and inauthentic picture of society and make their political living by mocking traditional healthy views and attitudes.
But what will the modernists have to say when they have achieved their goal of destroying every trace of bourgeois optimism and sentimentality?
What will they do next, these unimaginative and socially parasitic hebes?

Speaking of talented liberal artists, ( and my apologies for the long comment )
yesterday in an interview on French Canadian tv Roger Waters of Pink Floyd ranted about how it was scandalous that anyone can copy anyone’s music, that the people who wrote that music are being robbed by millions of people who take their music as if they were entitled to it.
he also blamed ” Silicon Valley” who are – he says – responsible for this. he called the people of Silicon valley *ss h*les.
yes he called them *ss h*les for making it easy to steal music.
He was that angry. And I can understand; who likes to have what is yours stolen from you?
then a couple minutes later he started a rant against Donald Trump, he was almost foaming at the mouth so much he hates Trump and his wanting to stop illegals with a wall.
and then it hit me.
it . hit. me.
Millions of people taking without permission someone else music because the people in charge make them feel entitled to it,
is the EXACT same thing as
Millions of people ( illegal Mexicans ) taking without permission someone else land because the people in charge make them feel they are entitled to it.
They are EXACTLY the same thing.
Music writers/owners are right to be very angry and to want to put a system in place ( an internet wall? ) to keep people from taking their property.
and Americans are right to be very angry and to want to put a system in place ( even a wall ) to keep people from taking their property.
Music writers/owners are right that they should take back control of their property.
Americans are right that they should be able to take back control of their land and borders.
those two things are EXACTLY the same thing.
Yet liberals such as Roger Waters are totally TOTALLY blind to it. Waters had no clue he was talking about two IDENTICAL problems.
He is fine with millions of people stealing the land ( and the hard earned dollars, those illegals cost billions of $$$ ) of Americans…
…but he is up in arms that millions of people are stealing music.
in his little liberal brain, Robbing Americans of their land is fine but robbing music is the most heinous crime.
He can not see they are the exact same thing.
Both are illegal and immoral, both are a grave injustice towards the owners of the property.
Both should and must be stopped.
but he can not see they are the same thing.
If the main stream media hated and bashed Roger Waters for wanting to stop people from taking without permission music that is not theirs as they hate and bash Donald Trump, maybe Waters’ little liberal brain would start to see the light.
Liberals no matter how intelligent or educated or successful or if they are zillionaires like Roger Waters have some strange mental defect that distorts reality.
they simply can not see the elephant in the room even if it farted in their face.
In the last few decades we have moved further and further to the left, the establishment now is the left, they control everything,
is it any wonder the world is such a mess?
I know a song and a nation are not equal things, that is not my point, the illegal and immoral taking without permission is what I say is identical.
Am I the only who can see that illegals taking what is not theirs is as wrong, as unfair, as immoral and illegal as people taking music that is not theirs?
Am I the only who can see that Waters trying to protect and defend music artists from having what is theirs stolen by millions of people is the exact same thing as Trump trying to protect and defend Americans from having their land stolen by millions of Mexicans?
Am I the only one who can see the obvious and gigantic similarity between what Waters and Trump are up in arms about?

Artistic temperaments generally probably tend to something akin to “openness” in the sense of being fixated upon contemplative and/or sensuous states of being which the majority find largely incomprehensible. In many aspiring or perhaps quite good artists, and in SOME artists of real greatness, this may coincide with real profligacy or voluptuousness, including (as we are familiar with the roster from 19th Century bohemianism to today) drugs, sexual kink and ‘experimentation’, gender-bending, and an ostentatious philosophy of devil-may-care defiance of society’s rules and even its very survival– at least as the pose struck by rebels from Rimbaud to the Rolling Stones.
However, at the incontrovertible heights of Art, we almost always find that, whatever the spiritual or psychological turmoil of the artist, there is an intensive sense of vocation that usually circumscribes the artist’s conduct within respectable, if not outright monastic, bounds. Yes, Pericles once chose to warn Sophocles that “A general requires clean eyes as well as clean hands”– and this was well-thought of. And yet, it presumes that Sophocles at least thought well enough to keep his hands from temptation anyway.
Most great art– indeed, entire genres (tragedy, cantata, landscape painting, the cathedral) has been defined by ideals of piety, patriotism, craftsmanship, and tradition– all the best of what we’re supposed to understand by “conservatism”.

the greatest art, architecture, music, etc. has all come from people who were talented but also have the drive and passion to keep working at it until they get it exactly right. they have a mission they want to accomplish and they do what it takes to get it done. they strive for quality and perfection over personal gain. they set extremely high standards on their art because they want to. not because someone else told them to. those are all conservative traits.

“Liberalism” doesn’t produce art. People produce art. Most of them these days tend towards liberalism.
This is actually one of the biggest problems conservatives have. We don’t produce much art. Frankly, we stand on the sidelines and criticize the liberals who do create it (and there’s much to criticize), but the way to beat them is not by criticizing them like an old fuddy-duddy, it’s to create an alternative discourse. There are exceptions but for the most part, we don’t do that. I suppose country music counts as conservative? I don’t know, I don’t listen to it. Something tells me most country musicians muzzle their conservative views, though, because the liberals control the channels through which their product is mediated.
Yes, in the past, art was often a conservative product. That’s because the patrons were conservative – nobles, the Church, etc. That doesn’t necessarily mean the artists themselves were conservative, though like Lucius says, the vocational aspect of it does or at least did often lead to a quasi-monastic existence (for short periods, at least). I’m thinking the Renaissance here: da Vinci and Michelangelo may have led monastic lives but they weren’t exactly conservatives.
The truth is, we don’t need more people writing into blogs like this about how feminism and BLM suck. We need people who hate feminism and BLM to go out and write good music, or novels, and present their feelings in artistically compelling ways. That’s what liberals do. Start a band. Put up an ad on Craigslist for likeminded people. Start a scene. Get creating.

Ted Hughes, John Milton and Lord Macauley are probably the best first poets for people who don’t want to be English majors. Hughes was the best English poet of his lifetime but was crucified by early SJWs: his talentless esquimeaux wife Sylvia Plath turned being unHAAAAAPPY into a brief career (with her meaningless “Bell Jar”) before suiciding, which certified in the minds of the public that Hughes really was as bad as she claimed. Hughes, by the way, was as big an alpha as an English department can have, and was cheating on Sylvia every chance he got. His Crow cycle is about Robert Bly, young man coming-of-age stuff.
Milton wrote about Lucifer the Rebel being three-quarters right in “Paradise Lost” and Macauley wrote “Horatius At The Gate,” quoted with unexpected import in the surprisingly redpilled movie “Oblivion.” Spoiler, the antagonist in “Oblivion” is an eye in a pyramid who wants to destroy meaningful human relationships with high technology and perverted dharma. If you miss that, then yeah, it’s a pretty interchangeable two-hour Twilight Zone episode. Macauley’s Horatius boils down to: you will die, you can choose how, and the best death is a man’s death.

The West was run for 2500 years by local landed aristocrats who were former warriors. (So, Tarsus in the Roman Empire, or Liverpool in England 1790 were pretty much run in the same style). The local ShitLord elite ran the show. They were generally of local stock, unless a conqueror moved in. Because they were landed, they respected the needs of the local people (their money was not portable Romney/Bush-style, but baked into the land, Trump-style). Because they were of the same stock, they had a natural affinity for the locals. Often a ShitLord aristocratic family would exist in one county for 1,000 or more years. The land was in their Soul; the people an extended family.
They would often bring in Jews (Court Jews to support the Monarch), banking, trading connections, commerce, etc (and tossed them if they got out of control — as we have been known to do– see the #NeverTrump chaos of the last week). The system worked pretty marvelously until the debacle of WWI/WWII.

Dunno if it worked marvelously, but feudalism is the word you’re looking for.
The system of noblesse oblige actually began to fall apart much earlier than what you indicated, specifically in the mid-eighteenth-century when the arrival of clover to England showed that common lands didn’t have to be loaned to the peasants, but could instead be turned into continually growing cash crops, pure profit for the noble. That was the beginning of the end of the upper classes pretending to look after the lower classes, at least in England. The upper classes never even bothered pretending in other countries (cough::RUSSIA::cough).
Anyways, you’d like to ditch social democracy and return to feudalism? Sure buddy. No problem. Be sure that you also ditch penicillin, vaccines, oncology, flush toilets, modern heating and cooling, refrigeration, systems of checks and balances, and about a thousand other advances the West has made since it realized that the whole lord/peasants schematic was stifling to progress.

One way to understand the artistic process, as I described it elsewhere:
“The artist is a passive conduit to a higher truth, which he transmits through the filter of his personality, and then shapes its representation into material form. The more receptive to the transcendent, the more original in his filtering of it, and the more skilled with his medium, the greater the artist. The artist’s peril: his receptive, judgment-suspending disposition makes him vulnerable to liars with jangling coins who flatter his womanish vanity — that’s the career of the talented band U2 in a nutshell, with their channeling the Celt’s earnest spirit while squirting Moloch-globalist soundbites into each of their great songs.”
LikeLike
In that same thread, I also allowed for the possibility that I’ve been selling U2 short with regards to at least some of their superficially leftie lyrics:
“songs from “The Joshua Tree” are more enigmatic than meets the eye. “we’re one, but we’re not the same.” What does that mean — we are one in God, but He wants us to remain distinct in this life? Then in another song, the words “I believe in Kingdom come / then all the colors will bleed into one” — if Kingdom Come mean’s Christ’s return, then that’s when humanity will be made as one. The inference could be that rushing the process ahead of God’s timetable is contrary to His will.”

Although raised in a hotbed of self-righteous liberalism, I converted to conservatism in my teens and I am also creative; e.g. artist, writer, filmmaker, male model, etc.
Conservatives can be quite artistic and creative without leftards.
I believe conservative art is better because art benefits from creators who have more life experience and, generally speaking, conservatives have more life experience, (I was in the US military, for instance) while leftys are strictly creatures of the campus who know only theory.

“I read an absolutely astonishing account of Trump arriving for a political speech, somewhere out West I think, and his audience was gathered in an airplane hangar, and he landed his plane at the field and taxied up to the hangar and got out. That is exactly what they did in 1932 for Hitler’s first election victory. I suppose it was accidental, but wow, that is an almost letter-perfect replay of a Hitler election tactic. And the capacity of Trump to enlist working-class voters against the left is exactly what Hitler and Mussolini were able to do.
“One of the reasons I wrote my book was that I was so tired of people interpreting fascism as the application of a program. When you read Hitler’s program, his 21 points, when the party was founded in 1920, and when you read Mussolini’s first program in 1919, it had very little to do with what they eventually did. They are full of inconsistencies, they were very opportunistic, totally opportunistic, and there was a high degree of change in their programs.”

No matter who they’d vote for, no matter how much they rallied, their concerns were brushed aside. In fact, laws were put in place (by their rulers) to economically and politically disenfranchise them.
This particular country is broken, and in disarray due to chronic mismanagement. Which was solely the responsibility of said ruling class.

Once harnessed, the poet-warrior, or New World Man shapes cognition by building not on the shoulders of the best poets, but by building on the shoulders of the best poems and the arrow of emotions, thoughts and words that elevate man. For example, Plato’s know thyself through Jefferson’s life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Guiding you out of exile and towards your proper human estate, and the next plateau is the poet-warrior’s life mission. Having scaled his own Everest, he’s the Hillary Step, dropping the ropes, obsessed with the symbols that help to uplift and guide the way out of misery (see Danger & Play). Alas, the dichotomy is solved: there is neither a battle between the heart and mind, they are reconciled.

In normal historic cycles late civilisation is overwhelmed by warriors from somewhere brutish and backward. What remains to be seen is whether we end like Rome or Athens. Do we fall to barbarians and end in a dark age or do we submit to a strongman and end in imperialism?
Are these the ends times of civilisation in total or the end times of democracy and high culture? We could survive for centuries yet under a dwindling and culturally inferior yet technically able imperial system like Athens under Alexander the Great.
What never happens is a homegrown bunch of hard men arising in the midst of decadence. Once the vitality of a culture is spent you don’t have it anymore. And I would say that conservatives today are not warriors they’re just not intelligent or creative.
