A transcript of Alex Kaschuta's recent speech at the National Conservatism Conference. The whole thing is a short read but here's what I thought was the key bit:
Equating freedom to the ever-expanding autonomy to investigate and pursue our authentic desires means enslavement to those capable of manipulating and creating those desires. The end state of both Left- and Right-flavored autonomy worship is enslavement to the state. No man is an island, and the managerial superstructure knows this. If things continue down this path, the only thing we will soon have in common is our dependence on the state/corporate behemoth.
Now, the only thing still standing in the way of slow enslavement is the continued existence of functional intangible commons in dwindling pockets of society. This will not be the case for long. We cannot avoid taking stock of the conditions that keep the lights on forever. Sooner or later we need to examine what actually creates thriving societies, order, children, and generational prosperity. [emphasis added]
This is our challenge. Yes, this way of looking at the world adds complexity. It lacks the simple charm and peaceful path to failure of “don’t tread on me.” It is values-driven; it is not neutral; it knows good things and shuns bad things; it brings with it new ways to fail. If it reeks of paternalism, good: your senses are working.
I don't think we need to "examine" anything: in many cases we know the answers, but our "expert" class believes them to be too "simplistic" or "cruel" so we refuse to do them.
How do you deal with our illegal immigration problem? Deport on sight, and tell governments of neighboring countries that are complicit "If you don't help us solve this problem we'll solve it on our own, and you may not like how we solve it on our own".
How do you deal with our legal immigration problem? Close the border for a minimum of 50 years.
How do you deal with stagnating wages? The above two things, plus terminate the worker visa program.
How do you deal with crime? Harshly punish crime against person and property and encourage private citizens to defend themselves and their property. Make it so criminals beg to be turned over to the police.
