A Wracking Thought
There is a pertinent existential issue with the Dissident Right (DR), and I sense a split that will happen, and must happen, if the doers are to emerge a future that isn’t grounded in helplessness, wrath, and idleness.
Recently, with the Roe V. Wade (RvW) document leaking that hinted at a certain overturning of RvW, the DR finds itself utterly split on the issue that brings out the most moral compunction of any. For the atheists and perennialists, who largely lead this movement (or at least set the Elite Theory mood of this movement, and set the de facto political formula tone) the issue is a distraction. Much akin to all of their demurs with the modern state of power, nothing can be improved, no issue can be won, and no dominant part of media can be truthful, without being subverted and Machiavellianly unseated and supplanted.
I knew the conversation of action was being hijacked when the conversation among our thing shifted from direct action to subversion. The conversation shifted from “What organization can we form or join to make real change?” to “We must resort to the guillotine! It is the only way!” Unfortunately, it is because they still operate without a spiritual guide - one that rather than resenting and building wrath, relents and listens to cogent guidance. One thing a Christian knows is that anyone trying to work you up and get you angry is ultimately trying to lead you in an unsavory direction, but we will get to that point later here. What we must analyze first is why the DR, who I would say can pride themselves in seeking truth and understanding, are now lost in the sauce, and are unable to find their way back.
The fixation of the DR has always been about reclaiming our “rightful” power because we are the only sensible people in our respective nations. That was right, when I would say there was at least some implication that we honored Jesus Christ as Our Lord. However, along the way, I would say our desire to destroy what we saw as evil, regardless of our faith, became primary. This movement, itself, has more and more been headed by atheists, perennialists, and in-betweeners who have continuously usurped the conversation to focus on Machiavellian power struggles. I think this has had such an impact that even the Christians in the movement will set aside what they respect as Truth so to focus on the evil they want to clear out, and in the long-run, pledge allegiance to people who do not have their best interests in mind. The DR is right about evil, but misunderstands how varied the powers-that-be are, how disorganized they are, and ultimately, how untrusting of each other they are. There is no “centre.” This misunderstanding is due to the DR lacking faith in a real Eschaton, let alone the True Eschaton of Heaven and Hell.
For two or more years I have watched as intellectuals misinterpret the vague, multi-varied ends to decisions made by the PTB, and imply an Immanentization of these elites’ Eschaton, when truly behind-the-scenes these people are the most out-of-touch morons who can hardly hold a narrative together. True, the ruled will always be “ruled,” but you are forgetting that the ruled is only ruled insofar they hardly have to deal with the government in their lives. More inconvenience means less power for the elites. The moment welfare checks stop coming in, and you have a faggy bureaucrat breathing down your neck, the pitchforks (well, more like semi-automatic rifles - and lots of ‘em) will be unsheathed and aimed for Pennsylvania Avenue and Wall Street.
Pre-Enlightenment, power was not just a monopoly of force, but a monopoly over thought as well, and in the best times, there was a harmony of classes and power. The DR gets this, but because they are so far down the rabbithole of Elite Theory, they are unable to take their head out of their own ass for one minute and witness the progress that is being made for underground movements actually grabbing helms of power - slowly but surely. Oh, and guess what, those movements are primarily Christian and don’t treat the state as an enemy, but a pesky asshole that they have to pay a slice of their income to. The biggest thinkers of the DR are blind to these realities, and actively think the only way to make your point is to directly, and with a loud resonating tone, declare the enemy as your enemy right to their face, and fedpost until you are blacklisted by credit card companies and, even worse, persecuted by the state. Albeit, that seems to be rare, and is only done on an especially bitchy few.
See what I’m getting at? Catch what I’m laying down? The DR has become an official echo chamber, and doesn’t see any economy to be exploited, powergrabs to be had that could have significant impact, moves towards constructing real communities, assembling networks, etc. They might be neutral on some of these points, but they will not construct any of this themselves. Why? Well, frankly a lot of them are lazy academics and would rather sit on the growing dissident gravy train.
You want a word from the inside? I’ll tell you. These people are intelligent, but have reached a catch-22 where they fester and wallow, and would rather be complacent and angry than take financially risky steps to construct real life solutions. I have met plenty who seem to not have their head in the clouds and refraining from daily 5-hour streams on how useless doing something with our lives is and we just need to wallow a bit longer, then the Caesar will come or something. Want to know how to solve this? Start a business, connect with other DR people, get them energized about starting peaceful, parallel communities, get them interested in actual tangible skills, go on camping trips, get fit, and you will start realizing that Providence is a beautiful thing. A major implication here is that this will take several years, which is a good thing.
And that brings me to the way the doers will move forward.
Either Jesus Comes First Or Not At All
I am taking from a dear friend who will remain anonymous for his sake, but he made an important point about the different reactions from the subgroups of the DR on the possibility of RvW being overturned:
“Oh no, blacks will have too many babies!” - Perennialists/Atheists
“Oh no, the Christians might be less pissed off!” - “Pragmatists”
“You need to fuck and be promiscuous!” - PUA
Noticing a trend here? They have no principles. At best, their “principles” come second to this undefined “win” that will come… at some point… somehow….
Essentially, the entirety of the DR hated the fact that there would be an extraordinary win, and actually energize people to stand up for what is right. Well, the only people standing up for this would be people who believe in the sanctity of life. Christians. That is where the stake has been driven into between Christians and everybody else in the DR:
They hate it when those pesky Christians actually put their Faith before “winning.” Any of you DR Christians who still think such trivial issues as racial ethnostates or taking over the USG somehow trumps your necessity to put Principles before nebulous “winning” need to pray and read the Book of Daniel the and Book of Jonah.
These atheist (and perennialist/pagan/racial identitarians) right-wingers really revealed a deeply angry, and utilitarian side that vetoes any moral authority within their own soul (very bad). For the Elite Theorists, the idea that power isn’t this top-down secret group who orchestrates, or basically orchestrates most events, and that we are subject to their will, really frustrates them down to their very core. They want to believe that their enemy is utterly demonic, that it sees them as a thorn in their side, and that the only reaction is overhaul, violence, dehumanization, etc. Essentially, their worldview gets blown to smithereens anytime parallelism works, anytime the Grace of God is brought up. They want things to be scientifically organized down to the quantum level, and anyone bringing Faith in the Lord to the discussion brings out this opprobrium that they know they can’t speak on at length, for fear of scaring away many of their contemporaries and/or followers, but their fruits reveal a truth that other atheists and perennialists can’t see…
“Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.”
Isaiah 11:5
How are you righteous if you are led by wrath? By getting one-up on an enemy who you only see as evil because of a vague, inexplicable distaste for their way of life? This view is childish, and will only lead to destruction, and I would rather die than stand by people who are led by this demonic hatred of an enemy whom they do not understand. If all you are led by is hatred, then you mimic your enemy like that of a mirror. That is, you are your enemy.
This brings me to how utterly revealing their contradictions have become as they go deep into the esotericism of Elite Theory and its 19th and 20th century theorists - the learned helplessness, gnostic convolution, and aversion to Christianity that the DR has.
Learned Helplessness: They have developed this integral behavior, based on the likes of Evola, Schmitt, and de Jouvenel, that the Iron law of Oligarchy will always reign supreme, and that the current Oligarchy is against them. They believe the only way to usurp authority, isn’t by intercepting it on the local level (bottom-up: how everything in nature is constructed/developed lol), but by taking it over from the top and instituting an absolute rule of a centralized authority. They believe other than that, the world is on a route to utter catastrophe. This means that any win isn’t an actually a win, but either a psyop, a distraction, or both.
Gnostic Convolution: They believe that the only people worthy of speaking on power, and anything applying to the nature of geopolitics, economics, etc are scholarly individuals with shiny degrees. This is all well and good when learning scholarly, abstract concepts, but when reality flies in their face and puts all of their convoluted beliefs into question, they quickly resort to breaking out the same tried-and-true method (fallacy) of “Well you just haven’t read X, therefore you will never understand Y, like us smarties.” Simply-put, the DR, much like liberal intelligentsia, have way too many intellectuals, and a shortage of boots on the ground knowledge and experience.
Because of their obsession with the mostly horseshit ideas of never-worked-a-day-in-their-life philosophers, they are led astray on absolutisms that have no basis in reality. The current paradigm we are in has a proclivity towards decay, decentralization, and the attempts to scare people on the right has only led to increasing unpopularity of the left, and less people caring about what they have to say. AKA - they have too many fires to put out, and when they put one out, five more sprout up.
You can literally start up a self-sustaining community where the collapse of the outside world has hardly any impact on you, but that very reality not only reminds the DR that they should be less sedentary, that their theories are poppycock, but most of all, that they won’t get to LARP as dictators with cool suits.
Aversion to Christ: Most of all, their aversion to the fact that Faith should lead them, and not theory, not eternal ideation, not gnosis, but that:
God sacrificed His one and only Son for them.
The principles of the Church have led to the best societies in human history.
Degeneracy can only be smote when there is a shared Fear of God throughout society.
Only a shared societal belief in Jesus Christ can lead to high trust and love.
Race is leagues and leagues lower in importance than belief in Jesus Christ, and constant contemplation on this is a deep issue with the non-Christian DR. They see racial identity as integral, which is revealed preference - they are so spiritually primitive and so full of wrath that they can’t set aside differences and understand what matters: Love, and Love in Jesus Christ.
This is where the constant ideation comes into play, and they can never solve any of their own worldly problems, let alone spiritual problems. They have to deeply analyze everything, and seek the best utopia through theory and analysis paralysis, when really, the answers are in the Four Gospels, and the hierarchy they seek is that of the Kingdom.
This is why that tweet from @ERICMCCXC is so palpable. The DR is fine with the Christians insofar the Christians are anti-degenerate and have the same enemies as them, but the enemy of your enemy isn’t your friend. The enemy of your enemy is your enemy’s enemy, and frankly, that isn’t grounds for trust-building. It is grounds for:
“. . . then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’"
Matthew 7:23
Their contradictions are numerous, and it is the most plain to see when Christians can rebuke their moral inconsistencies. This is why RvW struck a chord with some of the Christians on the DR as they were called “too weak” for being joyous that baby murder might be made illegal, and then immediately called “obnoxious” when we were simply standing up for our Principles. This is the beauty of Christ, is once His name is mentioned, His Laws are taught as superior to others, and that He comes first, the non-Christian parts of the DR start to seethe with anger. This is when epithets are thrown, and other such goals and idols are put ahead of Jesus. See, having principles and strict morals will make you many enemies, but they are enemies worth having - now you know who is against you. I never knew you, depart from me.
So ultimately, we face a schism of sorts in the DR. As Christians realize, or have already realized, that the US Gov’t, the UN, the EU, and other such immoral organizations are in decay, and why that has no impact on them directly, the atheists and perennialists are quick to come at them with, “Well that means you don’t care about evil happening in the world! Some moral person you are! Myeh heh heh, gotcha!” This is the last attempt they make at Christians when it turns out they can’t convert them into Elite Theory gnostics who should be hell-bent on closing shut liberalism’s Pandora’s Box. No, sorry. It isn’t my moral obligation to take over world governments in a vain attempt to “stamp out degeneracy.” My job is to be a good Christian, look after people who seek shelter from the storm, and create as many babies as possible to spread the Good News. Sorry life isn’t that complicated lol.
That is the source of the issue with atheists and perennialists, however. The void in their heart seeks Absolute Love. Some of them seek it through thinly-veiled racial superiority and “destiny” (perennialism) and some seek it through scientism. I share nothing with these people, and I do not seek what they seek.
Personally, I do not seek to dissuade anyone. Those whose heads are stuck in the clouds can stay stuck. There is nothing I can do to untangle the vine of nonsense roped around their hearts. I might be able to start, but they have to finish it, and I really do find that unfortunate. For Christians in the DR, they seem to be seeking real world answers to the atomization, spiritual deracination, and permeation of degeneracy they see around them. Steps are being made to create real life answers and I invite them. I do not invite, however, meaningless analysis paralysis, and the permanent sense of doom that is deeply entrenched in this movement. I do not want to alienate anyone, because I do not wish to be at war with anyone. I think everyone, even the tippy-tops whose gravy train is reliant on the learned helplessness of this movement, can grow a sense of conviction in Hope and Faith, and most importantly Love in Jesus Christ, and accepting they aren’t here to save the world. They will not find an answer sourced in wrath, sourced in vain scholarly pursuits, sourced in doom. Do not beware the man with one book, but beware the man with five-hundred.
This is why I persistently bring a call to action. This is why I find myself more and more distanced from internet-focused endeavors (making videos, writing, “content-creating”). What else is there to be said? Make friends, start businesses, go to Church, and form communities. In the past few months I have seen this persistently, and I hope y’all actively seek to establish more of this. What the unbelievers do not understand is that the main tenant of our communities does not have to be wrath and destruction, but formation and love. They hate that. They hate that Love transcends all. They hate that it is Faith in God, love of community and family, and simplicity that guides good men.
This is where the DR has become irrelevant. It has become an echo chamber. The more it pushes away Jesus Christ, the more those within this movement will find themselves left out of the Glory of actual based trad communities, and bleeding followers as it isn’t political formula that people seek, but community - the Glory and Grace of God.

The Rupture of the Dissident Right
Great article. I hope your business ventures are going well.
Atheist are so lost they believe consciousness, conscience, self awareness, selflessness, compassion, love, remorse, grace, exist as a consequence of rocks randomly banging together in space. They no not what they do. Den
