What happened to all the good right-wing authors in America with an economic or philosophical stance to articulate? Nowadays, it just seems to be stupid culture-war slop (Coulter, Cernovich, Walsh, etc.), vapid self-help (Petersen, Adams, etc.), and Zionist/neocon shilling.

Right wing slop gets ridiculed as culture war, but the stuff Verso publishes are exactly the same thing, but with a veneer of scientism that fools the Verso Loft/Chapo retards. Ann Coulter can cite all the Macchiaveli and de Maistre she wants, but thank God she knows better than to pretend she is an academic.

I think the better question is "What happened to all the GOOD authors in the WORLD?" since there hasn't been a single fucking author worth reading that has popped up in the last quarter of a century.

>>23812979
Ann Coulter is a controlled opposition monkey, who fucks and sucks endless black cocks, literally.
>>
>>23813873
It's what you said, but there is a semi-political element. To say that "the left" control publishing really isn't controversial, so anyone on "the right" wouldn't stand a chance. "The left" can smell something "right wing" because they're not as dumb as "the right" and understand the friend/enemy distinction.
But there's another issue on top of this is that these people on "the left" who are basically the gatekeepers of publishing (how many right wing agents do you think there are?) also have absolutely horrific taste when it comes for their own side.
>>
>>23813902
>"The left" can smell something "right wing" because they're not as dumb as "the right" and understand the friend/enemy distinction.
Saying that the left isn't "as dumb" is clearly wrong, since the left always devolves government into an unsustainable mess, and seem have little to no economic sense, which is why their policies always fail, and right leaning governments have exceedingly strong economies and militaries. The right wing simply does not have as strong of a creativity, which is due to the fact that left wing people tend to be more "open" so it allows them to express themselves either more freely or more clearly.

This is laughably retarded. It doesn't really matter if you're interested in it for yourself or if your interested in it for EVERYONE else, you will inevitably fail, and die, and stagnate and come undone. The right creates a steady slope, whereas the left creates a fuck-stupid wacky roller coaster ride that results in hundreds of millions of deaths, like we have seen under socialism.

>It's also the way the entire world worked openly until the end of WW2, and how it still works in nations not collapsing to this day.
That's not true in the slightest. Rome conquered its regions and absorbed the gods and cultures of the region, adapting their own military based on what they saw as having worked. Eventually, after 900 years, they collapsed, which is a lot longer of an existence than any other Empire, and I would say they collapsed not because of "multiculturalism" either, but simply due to the sheer size of what they had built and it having become unmanageable, which is what allowed for high levels of corruption, civil strife in a lot of its fringe territories, along with weakened defenses across the entirety of it, and lastly the difficulty of communicating between all its different parts.

Which very much mirrors reality, both in the fact that those who can adapt to the changes in their environment best, survive, and those that can cohabitate with other organisms the best, thrive. If you have a species that's introduced to an environment that finds an equilibrium in it, it's called a "naturalized species", where-as if you have a species that does nothing but dominate the ecosystem for nothing other than itself, it causes the ecosystem to collapse, killing everything else around it, including itself.

>Here's a question for you. Blues only breed with blues. Yellows breed with blues and yellows. Assuming they start at a 50/50 ratio, who will become the majority?
Yellows, obviously, since them cross-breeding gives them a reproductive advantage.

Modern america can be summed up by the creationism arguments in the 2000s. The political and philosophical american culture today is an extension of that, and compared to actual intellectualism it’s slop.

I don't know about America specifically, but doesn't this question strike you as sort of strange? It seems to me high literature (don't know the proper translation for this, but my language distinguishes between low and high lit) has more rightoids than any other artistic medium, and the non-right authors have more right inclinations than any people anywhere else (looking down on women, racist, justifying violence, autocratic, distrustful of consensus, nostalgic, lamenting aesthetic decline &c). Or are you specifically talking about economic and philosophical non-fiction works?
>>
>>23812922
The only nominally right-wing author you named is Ann Coulter, and even she is more of just a racist liberal. There's a renaissance of right-wing thought going on now but it's banned from Amazon, Youtube, Facebook, and Google. The culture war slop is what they put in front of you so you stop looking for the real deal. You're just a lazy moron if you can't find it. Check out the publishers Antelope Hill, Counter-Currents, Clemens & Blair, and Imperium Press to start.
>>
Paul Gottfried, Christian Kopff, Pat Buchanan, Sam Francis, George Kennan, John Flynn, HL Mencken, Russell Kirk, just to name a few.

There’s a journalist on YouTube named Auron McIntyre who just published a pretty good right wing book called The Total State.

All of these guys could be accurately described as “paleocons” or “old right” which got jettisoned by Buckley and Meyer’s fusionism of the 1950s. So while many conservative writers before the progressive era could be identified, there’s not been a huge intellectual infrastructure for patronizing these sort of writers since the 1950s. The ones mentioned above have slipped through the cracks, mostly because they ran stuck close to nationalist or libertarian circles, which did have a robust patronage network. Think tanks were keeping libertarians on the payroll but not open and out paleocons. The internet age has changed things but intellectualism isn’t exactly what pays on the internet, in case you haven’t noticed.

Vargas Llosa is still very popular in Spanish-speaking countries, whereas people like Gadddis and Pynchon remain virtually undetected in literary circles except by highly Anglophilic, Amerophilic people. I think it's more of a language-barrier issue than anything else.

Have you read it? It seems like its myopic and doesn't go into real depth of the origin of the national security-mass surveillance state, and further he seems to have an axe to grind over partisan politics (democrats being bad and all) rather than more objective analysis. Also, managerialism is deeply questionable especially against "lefty" elite theory school.

WWII, the cold war, the student movements of the 60s, the rise of evangelical Christianity, and the neoliberal turn. All of these events contributed to it in one way or another. 9/11 and the war on terror have only made it worse.
That being said, there honestly aren't that many good left wing thinkers and artists in America today either.

You could legitimately make an argument for monarchy and aristocracy based on the fact that the art produced under such systems of government is vastly superior than the art produced under our modern systems of mass democracy. Not just literature but visual art, music, dance, and more.

Democracy is simply a shit system of government for producing art. Every philosopher who cares about the arts has known this, going all the way back to Socrates. It's no coincidence that most of the modern writers who are any good live under decidedly non-democratic regimes. Pic very related.

Pynchon is not partisan in the slightest, BE is pretty much partisanship is the conspiracy. If you look at his work as a whole he would be considered a moderate with views which align with both sides. Gaddis is very much against the blind traditionalism of of the right but also against the left's embracing of pop culture, also can't be reduced to left vs right. I've never been able to finish anything by Delillo, his style seriously rubs me the wrong way and I just can not get past it, no clue about him.

You can't reduce these authors to 'political writers.' Any significant author is way more than that. As for authors who specifically argued right-wing points in non-fiction, there are a vast number who are just sublime: Edmund Burke, Thomas Carlyle... you can go on and on. Even in our day, William Buckley wrote well, as did Roger Scruton, or (to take an extreme-right example) Edward Limonov. This applies to lefties, too. Some write very well indeed.

>>
>>23820099
I agree that it is not to many words that is the issue but I don't think it is the memes either. The right has pushed ideology too hard and is primarily about saying we/you are correct which is antithetical to the intellectually challenging literature that anon mentioned; being told you are correct does not challenge the intellect, it is a participation award. The big reason literature is primarily of the left these days is that the left has "I am wrong" baked into their ideology, a writer can challenge them and it gives writers a great deal more room to work in than the right's dogma. The left's strategy is far from ideal and assumes a certain about of correctness but far less than the right so most writers who actually want to do something more than preach tailor their work to the left.

Both sides are detrimental to literature but the right is almost antithetical to it at this time, I can't imagine a work like Franzen's Freedom being written for the right; 500 pages of nothing but your faults which good intentions don't come close to making up for, only destroy what is actually important.

It might also be worth considering that just because authors from older times said things that sound "based", like Henry Adams loathing New York and mercantile culture, doesn't mean that their chuddery came from the same place as the modern chud's. Their chuddery came from a place of prestige, power, and aristocratic ethos, while the modern chud's chuddery is a chuddery of socioeconomic resentment and cultural loathing of those who are above him on the ladder of power, wealth, and prestige.

Traditionally, "right wing" means a person from a culture or civilization who wants to conserve the traditions and values of that civilization. Western civilization died during WW2, replaced by American Business Ideology. Conservative Ideology became "the government shouldn't regulate businesses." So how can you write lit or produce art about that?
All the right wing literature is pre-WW2 because those were people who believed in the merits of the civilization they lived under. Once the civilization imploded, so too did these types of people

The modern right winger never quite develops beyond the level of thought of a juvenile.
When an infant wants something, it never occurs to it to actively try and seek that treasure.
It will instead cry out and make a fuss, in the hopes of inspiring a caregiver to provide the desired item.

We can see an imitation of this reflex in the right winger
Look then to popular forms of media - video games, for instance, or film.
To be a citizen of the internet for any period of time, one will inevitably come across material which criticises "woke" media - a term of such fluidity it can range from the promotion of socialist ideals to the existence of women in a non-sexual nature. They bay for the release of more media which conforms to their views and beliefs with fervor.

These pieces come in a plethora of forms and methods of varying quality and creativity.
And yet, for all of the millions of right wingers who are vocal about their tastes in media, there is an absence of artists among their ranks.
Beyond select works as the "Moon Man" mod for Doom, and Jason Aldean's inspired hit single "Try That in a Small Town", the cultural landscape of the right is a barren place - bar that we include wojak edits in that zeitgeist.

To compare, the left is veritably sticky with creatives. Instead of crying out for someone to make them media, they've a frustrating tendency to do so themselves.
Aside from my writing exploits, I quite enjoy gay furry porn.
It makes me act up.
Instead of exclusively relying on others to provide it, I have continued to hone my talents in the fields of anatomy, shading, colour theory, and line art to better bring my depravities to life.
Regardless of one's views on the subject material, the amount of art put out by left-aligned artists is in vast excess of their counterparts.

For the sake of fairness, I will add that this is a modern phenomenon. Many of the pasts visionaries have been decidedly right-wing - The Birth of a Nation's effect on film can only be described as revolutionary.

So then, what has caused this change?
A concentrated effort by the right-wingers masters to produce the perfect consumer of the right winger.
It is a creature incapable of creating meaning, thus shackled to a litany of streaming service subscriptions and live service games from which to suckle the dregs of their creators artistic ability.

I see what you were going for, but you just don't get it. The progressives (not the left) have been hegemonic for many generations and inoculated themselves against reactionaries of all stripes by way of the very structure of society. Most people merely have the ideology of their friends so unless someone has a particular interest in politics, they will stay out of it and stick with the hegemonic belief structure. Suppose as a gay furry porn artists, that you suddenly got an interest in fascism and the shared soul of the Volk. How would you express that in your art while keeping all of your friends? It's not really possible. It's one thing to break through conditioning, but another to get all of your friends to join you, so even if one were inclined to give right-wing thought a chance, the only way to express it is to lose your network and start over from the beginning. This results in artists only engaging with the progressive narrative, which results in more conditioning to be progressive, and on an on the cycle goes. This is the very same cycle that occurs in universities and cities.

There's also the matter of good artists being focused on their art and not who becomes president. The more costly a signal is, the less likely such a person is to engage in it. Posting a black square for BLM is not a costly signal and plenty of artists simply didn't feel like doing it. Now imagine a more costly signal like declaring your enduring love for the Third Reich. You'd have to REALLY love Hitler to torpedo your entire life for him. On the other hand, there are issues that relate to the arts that actually concern the artists themselves. Take the pro-ship and anti-ship debate. I can attest that they seem pretty evenly matched in terms of the coom artists and writers that make them up despite the pro-ship side undoubtedly being more hated by the mainstream and having barriers against them by payment processors. That's simply because the anti-ship side is so much more restrictive that the artists on the pro-ship side are willing to signal loyalty to a hated side.

Speaking of payment processors by the way, mention of them is conspicuously absent in your post. This is careless because I think a renaissance of the right wing could happen, simply due to the fact that the progressives are demanding more out of people in terms of behavior, and this is being arrested by payment processors. There was a lot of right wing content struck down by payment processors and forced to the outer reaches of the internet by Big Tech. If you think your average internet artist isn't getting the retarded opinions they clog up their timeline with from people like Vaush, Hasan, or Destiny, then I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but artists don't read anymore. They're not polymaths, the watch podcasters, and and I think you were remiss to not mention that another reason there's not as many reactionary artists nowadays is that they've been stomped out.

I commend you on the quality of your post.
Your point on payment processors is a good one, and one which I did not previously consider.
In my post I viewed art as the greater sphere of creation including the recreational - as are my personal endeavours - instead of the wholly professional. To this end, I also considered the absence of amateur/recreational clearly right wing art in my view.

This was not something which I had stated in my prior argument, and thus a misstep on my end, bearing no weight upon the validity of your response, but I nonetheless include it to justify my own position.

While my prior statements were needlessly incendiary and hyperbolic in response to the wealth of vitriol that filled this thread, I nonetheless retain their core statements regarding a disproportion of artists in the right wing.
I shall rephrase my thesis to exclude insulting metaphors: Though right wingers consume art forms roughly as much as left wingers, the devaluation of art in right-wing culture results in a vastly reduced amount of art producers.

(Art as defined here refers to the greater diaspora of creative human activity instead of only the visual mediums, and is used for ease of language).

I believe it is factual to state that the right wing mindset tends to value the quantitative, most often through currency or capital, whereas art is inherently qualitative.
Due to this, art tends to be viewed - especially in its more esoteric forms - as lacking meaning or value.
The ridicule of the arts degree holder and their future career in fast food, and dismissal of modern art can both be viewed this way, with art and its creators being characterised as superfluous and lacking real world credibility.
Ergo, I would argue being submerged in this culture implants an inherent devaluation of art in the individual, and a proportional reduction in interest.
This, I then argue, is the reason for which the seeming majority of artists are progressive, as art is devalued and thus seen as unattractive across the right wing, whereas the opposite is true of left wing circles (This is not to completely dismiss the idea of leftist bias in academia, but it is not a subject in which I hold any degree of fluency).

In spite of this, right wingers nonetheless consume media at rates equivalent to left wingers (This is arguably most true of younger right-wingers of Gen Z and the Millenials, and skews to be less so with age).
The result of this is an imbalanced ratio of right wing consumers to right wing artists, and thus, a reduced amount of right wing art.

Your concept of a right wing renaissance is rather interesting.
Out of curiosity, how do you believe such a hypothetical would unfold; in terms of the type of material produced, and potential artists to lead it?

This wellspring of right-wing creativity is apt proof to my argument.

>Western civilization died during WW2, replaced by American Business Ideology. Conservative Ideology became "the government shouldn't regulate businesses." So how can you write lit or produce art about that? All the right wing literature is pre-WW2 because those were people who believed in the merits of the civilization they lived under. Once the civilization imploded, so too did these types of people
While not exactly "high literature" (or whatever that means, who gives a shit) it's probably Tom Clancy or somebody like that. Well, he wrote solid airport novels. He actually got worse the more his characters started sounding like Rush Limbaugh though. But he's had enormous influence on the military techno-thriller genre. There was a thread recently about "what right-wing books should you read as a leftist" and vice-versa, and if I'm a leftist, on the right I'd probably want to read books about how to be successful in business or how to analyze different surface-to-air missile systems. The general level of knowledge about that stuff on the left is very low. Or maybe I want to read a novel about a badass ex-special forces guy who works as a stockbroker take on the bad guys after they hijack his office complex. Some might not consider that to be "the right" but why not be the corporate warrior? It's like Palantir-ism. Or Rainbow Six dropping radical environmentalists with 360 noscope headshots. An ideology defending "our way of life" with the most lethal force in the world. At least you might have some fun:

>What happened to all the good right-wing authors in America with an economic or philosophical stance to articulate? Nowadays, it just seems to be stupid culture-war slop (Coulter, Cernovich, Walsh, etc.), vapid self-help (Petersen, Adams, etc.), and Zionist/neocon shilling
Conservatism is just a vague "return to a better time" and conservatives are 90% of the right wing in America. They're afraid of being called racists most of the time and will often delude themselves into thinking they're living in 1984 which means they won't even write books at all since they're scared of non-existent "oppression" or "censorship" if they do.
This is only my theory though, it's much more likely conservatives are just morons who either can't or don't have any interest in writing books.

The right does what is economically viable and it might surprise you to learn that writing books does not fall under that category now.

If by right you mean neocons, there’s nothing of substance, just like neolibs. If you mean fascism, like communism, there’s a ton generated underground that the msm doesn’t air to the mainstream

Im pretty sure writing books can be economically viable but theres many things to consider.
For example ive seen many youtuber writing book and im sure it was worth it since they already had an audience.
But yea even if your book is of good quality it doesnt mean you will make money and given the stuff ive seen praised on goodreads and the like id even say you have better chance of making money if your book is mediocre since the majority of readers are themselves mediocre and anything too intelligent would go over their heads.

the dissident right chuds and the socialist left troons are basically birds of a feather, cargo cults feeding off of pop cultural detritus.
Imo America’s cultural sterility really stems mostly from the decline in liberalism, actual liberalism i mean.
The rejection of liberalism really came to a head with millennials, and what replaced it was this spiteful, conformist crab mentality, where everything that innovates or tries something new is a tool of the capitalists or the jews… pick you poison, it’s basically the same mentality that animates both
It’s not conducive to good art. Yeah chuds and socialists have created good art in the past,
I like celine, stapledon, wells, annunzio etc
when they were the lone iconoclast weirdos rebelling against the bourgeois society around them, but now this bullshit is mainstream
