The Neoliberal Feudalism framework emphasizes dramatically different issues from the mainstream right (Part 2)
A compendium of recent posts
This is a summary of recent Neofeudal Review posts. While other Substacks focus on the news cycle or current politics, the intent for each article here is to touch on certain perennial truths which, hopefully, will make them retain their relevance long after their posting date.
A number of months ago I wrote a compendium post called “A dissident framework reaches dramatically different conclusions from the mainstream right.” That post compared the views expressed in my first seventeen posts with those of the conventional right, and it encouraged right-leaning individuals to expand the scope of their thinking beyond the narrow confines of media and educational propaganda, Pavlovian conditioning, and their fear of stepping outside the Overton window.
Now, the title of that post wasn’t entirely accurate. I sloppily commingled the Neoliberal Feudalism framework with that of political dissidence as a whole. The right consists of three layers:
The broad right, which
points out includes a wide variety of thought and belief1 and who share objections to certain facets of globohomo, although they generally accept the egalitarianism at the heart of society deriving from Paul of Tarsus2;A subsidiary of the broad right known as dissidents, who share a fundamental opposition to globohomo and not simply certain facets of it; and
Subsidiaries of dissidence with unique frameworks for why they fundamentally oppose globohomo, one of which is the Neoliberal Feudalism framework which is laid out in this Substack.3
This could have been better stated in the first post so it’s good to clarify now.
Anyway, it’s been another eighteen posts since the seventeen reviewed in that compendium (why seventeen or eighteen? No reason) so it’s time for another. I think I conveyed to my satisfaction the point I was trying to make there, so this will have a different focus: “The neoliberal feudalism framework emphasizes dramatically different issues from the mainstream right.” In other words, it’s not just the conclusions on issues that are different, but the issues which are emphasized or not. Additionally, the scope is different: for example, issues within the current news cycle or politics (mainstream right) vs. touching on higher-level points, especially spiritual ones, that impact people across time and space (neoliberal feudalism framework).
Ernst Junger stated that when he wrote The Marble Cliffs that he wasn’t operating in a political framework but rather a higher-level spiritual one, and I would like to think the presented approach at least attempts to do the same. Like Junger, I write for and appreciate those loners who pursue truth for its own sake, not the gray NPC herds who dutifully listen to authority or for those so-called “elites” who pursue wealth or power unconditionally, and one of these loners is worth “ten thousand raised to a power” of the NPC herds on this plane. Here’s Junger on this point:
Q: Do you think it is still possible to preserve style, this delicate and aristocratic gesture, in a world that tends towards depersonalisation and manipulation of the individual?
Junger: I would define ours as a society of massified individuals, which therefore needs very restricted elites, destined to perform a very important function. On this point, I would adhere to the Heraclitean sentence that says: “ To me, one is ten thousand”. This number should be raised to a power today.
Q: We are used to thinking of elites in more sociological than spiritual terms. What definition would you give of them?
Junger: The sociological definition of elite is already an indication of the corruption of the concept. A warning, for me, to no longer trust even the elites, but now only the great loners.
I love that last line. “A warning, for me, to no longer trust even the elites, but now only the great loners.”
With that said, let’s begin.
Environmentalism and sustainability
Mainstream right emphasis: To ignore environmentalism and sustainability, dismissing it as a left-wing issue.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: In “The sad skinsuiting of the environmental movement: turning a blind eye to the effects of unchecked world population growth due to obsession with egalitarianism” (Part 1 and Part 2), the environmental destruction caused by unchecked worldwide population growth is examined. The post concludes that our overlords are myopically focused on power concentration, paying lip service to second-order effects in the media with buzz-words but otherwise ignoring them, which is going to have disastrous effects down the road. Environmentalism and sustainability are important issues and should be emphasized, as we should all want to leave the planet in a better condition for the next generation.
This doesn’t look sustainable Natural selection
Mainstream right emphasis: Eugenics and dysgenics are consciously ignored as “racist” and linked to Hitler.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: “The 10,000 year explosion: Rapid selection pressures in a radically changing environment” examines Cochran and Harpending’s thesis that natural selection pressures on humanity are both ongoing and occurring 100x faster than the historical baseline because of changes brought forth by the neolithic agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago. It asks to what extent humanity should try to guide selection and on what basis it should be pursued.
2020 serving as a pivot toward an entirely new, darker and oppressive era
Mainstream right emphasis: The mainstream right ignore the broader implications of the Schmittian lawbreaking “exceptions” used by our overlords to destroy Trump and try to continue with business as usual.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: “Trump on trial: an examination of globohomo's sword-and-shield strategy” examines globohomo’s legal and extra-legal attacks on Trump, concluding that they view him as a Schelling point/symbol for white Christian Middle America and they plan to smash him just as the Bolsheviks murdered the entire Romanov family before liquidating millions of kulaks. One should view the takedown of Trump as the prelude to much darker plans that will be hoisted onto a large portion of this country.
The Israel/Hamas war and the possibility of World War 3
Mainstream right emphasis: A blind, 2001-ish neocon energy has overtaken the narrative discourse, blind to the larger forces at play and based on the assumption that America remains undisputed top dog militarily worldwide.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: This war may open the second front (after Russia/Ukraine) of World War 3, and based on how the central bank owners operate, these plans have been prepared for decades with predetermined outcomes in mind, especially the implementation of CBDCs and the removal of free speech as an end goal. World War 2 was conducted in much the same manner; Hitler was an unknowing puppet in a larger game. Great caution and skepticism should be applied to whatever narrative globohomo pushes here.
Central bank owners maintaining a balance of powers until determining which party was to be punished
The science of physiognomy
Mainstream right emphasis: Physiognomy doesn’t exist and don’t trust your instincts, trust the experts, same as the leftist position.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: In “The science of physiognomy”, the argument is presented that our instincts have evolved for millions of years to detect personality traits in others based on the way they look, dress, and carry themselves, and we do a great disservice to ourselves not to acknowledge our instincts and integrate them along with our thoughts. There should be a much greater weight put on our own thoughts and judgments and much less put on the perspectives of corrupted “science”.
The liberal mentality
Mainstream right emphasis: The mainstream right focus on holding liberals to the standards that liberals set for conservatives, i.e. focusing on liberal hypocrisy. No lessons are ever learned despite this strategy failing throughout modern history.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: “The strange relationship of liberals to power: their psychology as the forever underdog” examines the strange herd-like mentality of the liberal mind, where they always have to see themselves as the oppressed no matter how much stronger they themselves are over their perceived enemy. By framing power struggles in this manner, they are always able to justify to themselves the brutal use of power against their enemies. Given the gulf between liberal and dissident thought processes, there can be no rapprochement and there should be no political discussion with them. This point is driven home in “Navigating Schmitt's friend-enemy distinction in an uncertain environment”, which argues that dissidents should only spend their energy having discussions with other dissidents. And in “Did the last three years of COVID happen, or was it a bad dream?”, the argument is made that political and social reality does not exist in the minds of the masses except to the extent pushed by propaganda and authority figures. Scary stuff.
The soul
Mainstream right emphasis: The standard Christian take, decisions made via free will lead to judgment and Heaven/Hell in the afterlife.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: “Ruminations on the nature of the soul” examines the personality aspects that we attribute to the soul and concludes that they do not stand up to scrutiny. Nonetheless it feels like we possess a soul, in whatever unclear form it takes, and there are positive benefits that derive from such belief.
Profiles in courage
Mainstream right emphasis: Who does the mainstream right admire these days - Trump, I guess? There seems to be a quiet void here as Ron “Meatball” DeSantis slinks off into the nether.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: The most admirable people are those who advanced the dissident cause and stood up for it despite unrelenting pressure. The first two examples include Ian Smith, who kept his business open during the worst of the COVID lockdowns and provided inspiration to millions, and Julian Assange, who fought to hold globohomo accountable to their own stated principles despite massive governmental attacks on him.
The meaning crisis
Mainstream right emphasis: Maybe society has suffered a degree of nihilism, but that’s just because the country is too secular and liberal. The mainstream right de-emphasizes and doesn’t understand this issue.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: As covered in “The meaning crisis: Meaning and decadence through the history of western civilization”, society is in the full embrace of an unrelenting secular nihilistic materialism which is smothering all the joy out of life. This derives at least from the 10th century when Christianity achieved total dominion over its enemies and decadence began to creep in. We currently live in an age of pure nihilism and no meaning, regardless of the extent of one’s religiousness. There must be some sort of transvaluation of values to get out of this.
The state of the times
Mainstream right emphasis: The economy is still trying to recover from a deadly multi-year COVID shutdown while battling high inflation. Things are in the doldrums a bit even though the stock market is quite high and official unemployment is low! Very surface level analysis.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: As emphasized in “The era of empty, secular mass consumption is over”, there was a 40-year period of artificial prosperity caused by a declining interest rate environment, which hid the effects of the huge losses to manufacturing and to the social fabric at large. That artificial prosperity is over now with much higher interest rates, and things are going to get much worse. Therefore it’s important to live below one’s means and prepare with a long-term view for hardship.
The use of the U.S. military
Mainstream right emphasis: Downplays why we stayed in Afghanistan for 20 years but highlights the shamefulness of the messy withdrawal; encourages unlimited funding for Ukraine and Israel.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: As described in “A typology of globohomo-initiated wars: Assessing success or failure by the objectives sought”, the U.S. military engages in three specific types of wars, each with their own unstated objectives which are quite different from the propaganda fed to the masses. Given that the U.S. military and the U.S. itself are merely vassal states of the central bank owners, success and failure should be viewed in the context of the central bank owner objectives. When viewed from this perspective, the central bank owners appear to be close to invincible despite occasional bumps in the road. In “Half measures vs. full measures”, the post argues that if a country or entity is going to challenge globohomo they must be prepared to go all the way, because any weakness or hesitation will result in being annihilated. This is because globohomo is a totalitarian force bent on power acquisition and centralization at any and all cost.
Listening to weirdos
Mainstream right emphasis: Completely de-emphasized; listen to those who present well publicly and slickly offer dopamine hits from battling the current news cycle’s cultural war.
Neoliberal feudalism emphasis: One can learn something from anyone, no matter how strange or odd, and in fact the stranger the better because “strange” in this context means they are not a rubber-stamped NPC ready for popular consumption, so they will have something unique and different to offer. “A review of Brett Andersen's evolutionary psychology Youtube series” examines Brett Andersen’s work with a considered eye, even though he subsequently descended into Orange Man Bad ramblings and severe schizophrenia. There’s lots to learn on the state of evolutionary science within his work, conducted as a PhD candidate at the University of New Mexico before he dropped out in the full throes of madness.
Thanks for reading and engaging on what has been an interesting Substack experience so far.
Per here, “Religiously, the right embraces an incredible variety of creeds. Tradcaths, Orthobros, prots of every description from high church Lutheran to low church Baptist, Odinists, Neo-Hellenists, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, Nietzschean vitalists, gnostics, New Agers, druids, and atheists are all found in varying degrees of abundance. Ideologically, you have neoreactionaries, traditionalists, foundationalists, Nietzschean vitalists, civic nationalists, ethno-nationalists, MAGA America Firsters, populists, fascists, national socialists, 4th Political Theory Duginists, paleo-conservatives, classical liberals, post-liberals, libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, Catholic integralists, monarchists, masculinists, and (what I think is) the most recent addition, Landian effective accelerationists.”
The mainstream right do not understand or accept that their core egalitarian views, whether secular or religious, tie back to Paul of Tarsus's original transvaluation of values, where the egalitarainism at the heart of Christianity is reinforced over time as a ratchet effect. There needs to be a revaluation of values away from that to, I hope, a balance between inegalitarianism and egalitarianism. Hence almost all of the right is "mainstream" in this perspective.
The framework is two simple points: (1) the world is owned and controlled by a small number of families who own and control the central banks of the world, and they use divide and conquer tactics to divide people along race, sex, sexual orientation, religious grounds to keep everyone too busy infighting to focus on their theft, and (2) that this system was put into place due to egalitarianism deriving from Paul of Tarsus.
Nicely scrubbed and polished. Speaking of ratchet effect -- see your footnote 3. In neutral economic/finance-speak this is referred to as the benefit of compounding interest.
