Has anyone read How to be a Conservative, by Roger Scruton? It's pretty interesting, he talks about how conservativism recognizes the nation rather than religion is the ultimate identity and the state rather than church the ultimate arbitrator, whereas Islam is antagonist to western values because it rejects these important legacies of the Enlightenment.

That sounds stupid honestly.
Islam too recognizes the state as the most important thing but it identify the religion as the state. Ya3ani there is no distinction between the two.

Also the way a religion is on paper de jure is not how people actually behave. It's rarely the case and these exceptions are the ones to play the role of the whole, unfortunately. Judaism is too a state-religion but practically the average orthodox Brooklyn Jew for example is wayyy away from even thinking about implementing his laws on anyone.

That has more to do with mentality that has been intentionally engendered in them by powerful social-engineering tools, and has nothing to do with the actual condition of these young men. There's not anything wrong with them, besides their sense of self, which has been undermined by all the institutions meant to build a person up. Really they've just been demoralized and don't try. I don't see how anyone could think that sex is hard to obtain in our current hypersexualized, sex-as-commodity culture. But sex without meaningful relationships and family-building is just a dehumanizing waste of time; it's unfortunate that people who've been convinced that their incels have concurrently been convinced that sex itself is a valuable goal, which it really isn't.

I've never seen a polyamorous relationship with more women than men in it. It seems to me that it's exceedingly rare anyway; the media only bring it up because is strange. Of course, I'm talking about the formal sort of polyamorous relationship; not the informal "polyamorous" lifestyle of many people that apps like Tinder have encouraged; though I guess that's all about sex, not love as the term would suggest.

The lucrative LGBT lobby that was constructed to pass gay marriage needs to keep its income rolling in. The transgender culture war has mostly been won, so polyamory is next because conservatives hate it and try to fight it. Once that's done I bet public sex will be the hip thing to push. But the much feared "pedo acceptance" movement will never come because the blue checkmarks that love this stuff think an age gap wider than two years is grooming.

Old days:
>Teenagers experiment sexually and with drugs and alcohol
>Festival days, time off of farm or school work all comes with sex
>Noblemen be fucking peasant girls, peasant men be fucking noblewomen
>People are just fucking all the time, cheating on each other left and right
>Girls get blackout drunk and wake up with cum dripping out of their pussy, walk it off no problem
>Abortifactants and birth control grow freely in nature and are common knowledge, you can just go out and eat a certain amount of a purple flower and not get pregnant
>Guys who get cheated on are openly mocked, people put the "cuckolds horns" on their head
>Christianity and the church tacitly support all this, the priest allows some time for debauchery before he takes over with a church lesson
>Everyone is deeply faithful and fully expects their hedonistic actions to be forgiven

Read the decameron, read chaucer

Now days:
>Teenagers fear sex, must see a doctor, counselor, social worker, and form a careful consent contract with their sexual partner
>Groups of people form carefully organized societies where each individual specializes in a specific comfort partner role to each other person
>These groups are constantly butt hurt and forced to have frequent board meetings, without sex, to go over the terms of the agreement again
>Anything goes wrong with drugs or pre-sex contract agreement and the "victim" is immediately emotionally shattered
>Have to go see an expert and talk about your sex life, get tested, to get an abortion or birth control assuming you live in one of the states that hasn't banned the whole thing outright
>People are still drinking and doing drugs but they sit alone and ponder their existence
>Cucks are so taboo that they develop fetishes about it, get off on their own humiliation
>Church has faded away but we fulfill our own guilt- and shame- needs, no need to pay anybody we just enforce morality on each other and ourselves through deep guilt and unhappiness
>No faith, no hope for an afterlife, people are beginning to suspect happiness is a marketing construct

Tarantino is actually a great example for this conversation because he works basically by digesting massive amounts of film and regurgitating an amalgamation of all he ingested.
Pulp fiction was heavily influenced by schlocky exploitation films, gangster movies, japanese and chinese pink films, and the eponymous "pulp fiction" which constitutes an entire genre of books.
These are the most popular stories, they sell like crazy to normal-ass people who don't consider themselves readers at all. Detective stories, dumb smut, manly adventure stories, romance novels with fabio on the front with rippling pecs and abs.
They reflect the taste of the masses, which is influenced by on-the-ground reality as much as it is by advertising, it's the raw material of culture.
Anyway there are non-fiction primary sources as well which confirm my painting the middle ages as sex crazed, drug fueled, violent, hilarious, optimistic, and thoroughly uncompromised by our modern complexes of guilt and morality, which had yet to be invented by wealthy white liberals.

There are forms of western conservatism that allow for theocratic regimes, but yeah the nation is basically a western invention. The question is really what the nation represents or corresponds to. What's a "people?" That's what Heidegger and Schmitt and all those more theoretical types were interested in.

Some people in this tradition would say that liberalism is downstream of a relatively conservative nation state, because you have to have a people who agree on some shared ground in order for them to be able to have disagreements over other things. If you agree that you are French and fundamentally there is value in your tolerating one another, you are less likely to kill eachother over a minor doctrinal difference or frustration that the other guy's views are for the moment better represented by your shared government.

Schmitt was actually Roman Catholic and early on he played around with the Catholic church's historical super-legal status over all the smaller national/feudal units of Europe. But he abandoned that pretty quickly. Now there are people who want to revive a kind of pan-european nationalism like this again, Mosley tried it for example.

You could fit Muslims within that framework in the same way you could fit Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox within that framework even though they wouldn't get along in the same nation perhaps. But any Muslim who believes that his religion should become the foundation of life for everybody is obviously not compatible with Europe because Europe is not Islamic.

The real question is: Is it a European invention, or part of Europe's unique essence, to be able to tolerate other essences as distinct? Is Islam just another distinctness, capable of tolerating distinctness in others, or did Europeans really create the ability to say "you're distinct and that's okay"?

Scruton makes three primary claims in the first half of his book: that humans are essentially animals, that conservatives are romantics, and that “political correctness” is a preoccupation of people who think too much.

With respect to his first claim, Scruton confuses an essential quality of humans—rationality—with an accidental quality—sentience. The fact that animals can do abstract thinking does not imply that their rationality is identical to ours. In fact, it does not even imply that their reasoning is equal to ours. One might compare the ways of thinking of a dog, a four year old, and an adult who has just finished school: the first may seem somewhat more childish, but the third is often distinctly less rational.

On the second claim, it’s worth noting that Scruton is committing an informal logical fallacy known as the genetic fallacy, which he tries to cover up with the fact that he’s discussing an aspect of the broader “romantic movement”. Of course romanticism didn’t suddenly spring into being in full-blown form with a precise, precise manifesto that was accepted by everyone who called himself a romantic. The romantic movement has numerous offshoots that bear little if any resemblance to each other. The same could be said of, say, literary criticism or cooking. Romanticism itself isn’t a cohesive enough ideology to use as a term of criticism. Even if you were to define what you mean by “romanticism”, Scruton is not examining the romantic movement so much as something that came out of it. There is, to the best of my knowledge, no historical evidence that these romantics are anything but logical, and logic is not the trait Scruton thinks they excel at. Scruton’s main reason for including this is that he wishes to implicitly justify himself for his poetic nonsense by convincing the reader that he’s a romantic like all the rest of the romantics.

The third claim, that political correctness is a cultural phenomenon, is an outright falsehood. Political correctness is very much a political phenomenon. It should be called Political Liberalism, because it’s a facet of an ideology that was born out of the French Revolution and hasn’t changed since.

All of this may seem tangential to the subject at hand. In reality, it’s vital. Because I hate this book.

Conservatives are just the progressives of yesteryear. Right now they're hung up on nationalism and classical liberalism, but give it a century and they'll be preaching the same thing as the modern "liberals".

You are forming your impressions of the outside world based on clickbait journalism. Literally if their articles don't generate enough outrage, the author's kids don't eat that day. That's their business model, and also your window into reality outside your basement. Sad.

This is because of having too much freedom. The liberal obsession with liberation that has infected the American psyche since the nation's inception is our fucking curse. If we want to get better, we have to let go of the cancer that is egalitarianism, individualism, and libertinism.
