Mary, Mary: Reactionary

[@everythingflows3639]

Wow. I had never heard of Mary Harrington before. That was a breath of mountain air.

[@triscat]

Wow, guys! This was one of the more invigorating, thought-provoking, and inspiring videos I've seen in a while. Thank you so much for introducing me to Mary Harrington. I would have loved to go on for another hour about her statement to "die for the human". Excellent!

Rod and Kale, I see a book forming on modern male chivalry. Someone has to come up with a positive plan to capture male energy that is invigorating.

Mary's best interview so far. Course she had a home field advantage of sorts. These cats are very much in her space. Regardless, she is one of the most profound thinkers of our time. Thanks lads...CHEERS!

I especially appreciate you all digging into and developing how social conservatives do and should have an interest in class based analysis.

I think my blood alcohol level would have been .3 if I took a shot every time I laughed out loud during the podcast. Insightful and frankly, entertaining.

[@damiancayer2003]

Good episode! A thought about the “Almost Famous “ movie, is that some of the famous singers had very young girlfriends around the age of 14-16 years old, not to mention all the songs about all the sweet 16 girls. Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis both come to mind. People did also get married at much younger ages back then, so at least there was some effort to stabilize the effects of such practices.

Looks like you all had fun. I had fun too!

It has always surprised me that the Christian sexual ethic is so resoundingly rejected in the metoo movement. People seem to lump together the worst forms of moral depravity with the chastity of a Christian man, calling both "patriarch y". However my Christian brothers, my grandfather, etc. Would never have engaged in casting couch behavior. Why? Out of the fear of God.

Exactly... the lefts ideologies a foundationally contradictory imho.

"Where are the men to protect xyz?" Where are the parents that are worth a damn? You all discuss this like we don't already know the answer. Women have to be low enough in toxicity and competent enough in choice, to pick and keep good men around. Men are simple. They respond to female behavior. It's really that easy.

[@zincxiii]

I'm not sure I understand why there are no psychology talks where they discuss both male and female issues. Is it not possible to only look at women as victims? Are there no predatory women? Why is it that when they talk about predators there are no discussion of predatory women? They are just as common. Different tells.

And when are you going to have Yoram on? I've treasured his book, The Dawn: A Political Analysis of the Book of Esther, for many years, and I love the image of an Israeli-American Orthodox Jewish Zionist working with trad Eastern Orthodox-ers and Roman Catholics at Pat Buchanan's American Conservative to save Western Civ, as they hop in and out of Budapest. It was not the future I would have predicted in 1989.

[@kalezelden4704]

I'll see if Rod can use his in to get Yoram on!

[@marchess286]

@@kalezelden4704 - thanks. Another idea, if I may, you and Rod review Jane Jacobs' Systems of Survival. It's been decades, but, as I recall, it compared commerce based values with honor based values

[@Octavian2]

The image of Zionists trying to save the West? What a wild imagination.

[@marchess286]

@@Octavian2 - "wild imagination" - only to small minded, petty bigots.

I think once the jews had their own nation, they started to realize the validity of conservative arguments.

[@anthonygoodman48]

Mary I would agree with your response on Trads in some ways, and it is a reduction of the Trad response. But it also implies a left wing view of an imposed solution to a problem. I would just say you have to start somewhere and where better to start pulling at the thread then the family, and where better to start in the family than the relationship between husband and wife (or man and woman). I see 'trads' who are able to house and feed and educate kids all the time IE they have been more than able to make ends meet etc. Yet I see the same as you struggling millennial couples. I can't explain this but it's real.

The self willed person sounds a lot like sociopaths and narcissism. Not harmless and quite short sighted.

27:00 so satanism? XD
