The people weren’t angry, they were disillusioned with modernity, democracy and ‘progress’. This was not neo-fascism, the intellectual level was far above anything they have produced since they shaved their heads and their brains fell out. And read and read in an obsessive way that I’m rarely struck by. Never one to believe hype, I began to read. Then, resigned to another cycle of pissing around with libertarianism, I came across an article whinging about a neo-fascist movement for angry, smart, white men. The supernatural simply isn’t a part of my world. It should also be pointed out that I am an atheist. Incidentally, I’ve always considered susceptibility to moral arguments to be a sign of great intellectual weakness. Moralising has little to no effect on me, which may be why the left have never had a hold over me. Their complete inability to separate anarchy from democracy, and treat each situation differently confounds the otherwise hyper-rational minds I have met.įundamentally, I am a consequentialist. The biggest sticking point with libertarians is their bizarre, doctrinal belief in universalism with the open borders and ochlocracy that inevitably stems from it. Anarcho-capitalist was also acceptable as an internal label, but I could never quite reconcile it with reality, and I never broadcast it. ‘Paleolibertarian’ is a still-born concept, but it came closest to an accurate descriptor. I have tried on a few mantles from the libertarian wardrobe, but none of them were a good fit. I have always preferred monarchy, and enjoyed the company of monarchists, but the libertarians were the ones who provided conversation and open minds, and so I tended to stick with them. Most of my close associates are libertarians, anarcho-capitalists, or traditionalist constitutional monarchists who I have met through the Liberals.
I have never been attracted to mainstream views, but I joined the Australian Outer Party a few years ago, and every now and then I come across someone who thinks well. Since high school I have been sceptical about modernity and the concept of leftist progress. Suffice to say I am Australian, and as you have probably gleaned, my academic focus was ancient history, but it came with a side of economics. Who amI to provide any value to a movement?
