Scott Greer discusses Vivek Ramaswamy's support for more immigration, its appeal to "New Americans" leery of liberal excesses, the popularity of Andrew Tate among the multiracial youth, and what this all means for conservatism in a post-white America.
The series Breaking Bad has a lot of the "Andrew Tate" element and is incredibly popular among zoomers. A traditional middle American WASP bucks his social life that was aligned with the old stock ideals and enters the multi-racial criminal underworld and finds wealth and adventure.
Hey Scott you’re totally right about “real” country artists being libtards, and the pop song ones being right-wing—my question is why do you think this conundrum exists?
Some ideas: A lot of the authentic country artists come from the punk scene or feel like outsiders. I think a lot of their fans are more liberal than pop country fans. Generally, people who are really into music and go out of their way to find non-mainstream music are going to lean left. Conservatives are generally more into sports and what plays on the radio. They're conventional people
Amren did a review of Carl N. Degler's book In Search of Human Nature:

Thanks for the Degler book recommendation, exactly what I have been looking for. I’m 1/3 of the way through, very highly recommended
The preface is literally the author saying “how did I get convinced race and sex aren’t real, that’s crazy” is the most subtle way possible
