Listen now (71 mins) | On today’s episode of The Overton Window we discuss the response on Substack from Dave Greene and others to my recently published manifesto How to Castrate the Left, specifically in the context of how we should approach coalitional politics between different factions on the Right.
I read from that garbage website CNN that a white person is twice likely to kill a a black person and I hate crime so is there any data on this cuz I thought for that blacks kill 500 lights and white kill 200 blacks is there any data on interracial hate crime and murder
No one in this cohort thinks diversity is an inherent or axiomatic good (especially if defined narrowly, e.g., by ethnicity), but all of us here have an extremely high openness score – in the OCEAN / Big 5 Model – and are highly fulfilled by seeking out all kind of different perspectives, experiences, partnerships, and possibilities. Especially true when combined with disagreeability. Most contexts try to force you into a box and then get offended or hostile when you don't agree to it (especially if you make it better!).
We live in a world where it seems that 85% of people we come into contact with are completely content to live in the same place they always have, do the same things they always do, talk to the exact same people everyday, and basically put no effort into seeking out new horizons or finding ways to stretch their perceptions.
If you take a look at the big players in this burgeoning community, it attracts and enormously refreshing and nourishing type of diversity.
A James Gregor, the late intellectual historian, wrote excellent works on the origins of fascism as a form of developmental dictatorship in countries seeking to industrialize and catch up with the established powers. He favors the term totalitarianism, as he sees the distinction between left and right totalitarianism to be ad hoc
I'm too backlogged to do the detailed podcast writeups like I used to, but loved the "Dildo theocracy project" line about left wing secular humanism vs secularism in general.
With elite overproduction, there's a lot of elite human capital available on the sidelines for the job market. Someone should want us...

Do you know any good books on fascism I'm not a fascist myself but I like studying scholarship of it so would you recommend any books on the topic

I recommend "Fascism Viewed from the Right" by Julius Evola. Also, if you haven't read it, then La dottrina del fascismo (1932) is of course the ultimate primary source http://media.wix.com/ugd/927b40_c1ee26114a4d480cb048f5f96a4cc68f.pdf
