The odd thing about writing on the Right is that “our side” is closer to realistic clarity on most issues but has no idea why, since we distrust theory and like gut instinct and case-by-case decisions. Even so, humanity has only begun to scratch the surface of the issues we should actually be analyzing.

Most of what we discuss are historical issues. These are backwards because they focus on the appearance of events rather than the reason why they happened, sort of like how we study the Civil War in the context of slavery and not northern industry wanting cheap textiles, or WW1 as an ideological conflict instead of a result of the Napoleonic Wars.

This means that to be effective as Furthest Right and Radical Realist thinkers, we have to look inside the issues and see what underlying causes led to the appearances that motivated people to act.

Right-wingers are falling down on understanding the needs of our children. People who come from sanity-oriented homes need guidance after they leave home because they are being launched into a world where insanity and delusion are the norm.

We need to reach out — not with cheesy versions of pop culture like “Christian metal,” or stupid propaganda mirroring the Leftist books about transgender coprophagic gangbangs for toddlers — with the answers that they need. This begins with telling them that we are in a time of decay.

Every child should sit down and be told about not just Rome, but more importantly, Athens, and how these societies died by losing sight of a transcendental goal, turning to competition for money and power, and from that falling into democracy, socialism, diversity, and consumerism.

What does not work is having a Stern Father or Fun Uncle Bill tell you a few rules of life once a year. Kids need constant reinforcement not of “values,” but orientation: where we are in history, how to survive it, and what to strive toward.

For example, saying that we want pre-democracy Athens with space travel is not unrealistic; in fact, it is the sanest thing we can pass on to our kids.

We should use Fun Uncle Bill or Wine Aunt Sarah as examples, not role models. Fun Uncle Bill traveled the world following the Grateful Dead and now he has trouble remembering his phone number. Wine Aunt Sarah had five husbands, a dozen lovers, thirty jobs, and four involuntary mental health committals.

Children and young adults do not need us preaching to them, nor us telling them that there are lots of options in life including Fun Uncle Bill and Wine Aunt Sarah. They need to know what works and what does not, and have some sense that they can understand this time and in doing so, resist it and rise above it.
