Pseudo-Reactionaries for Drag Queens

Richard Spencer is back, and he has a bone to pick with the Right because we are supposedly spending too much time worrying about exposing children to drag queens. A few days ago, the former self-proclaimed leader of the defunct Alt-Right wrote on his Substack about a Drag Queen Story Hour protest in Wadsworth, Ohio that got, well, heated. In fairness, some Feds did show up. Hollywood Nazis were out in full force, complete with a certain symbol associated with an extinct interwar German nationalist movement, as well as face/neck tattoos while chanting “pedophiles get the rope.” While it goes without saying that I do not approve of such tactics and optics, the protests against Drag Queen Story Hour go well beyond Feds, informants, and the occasional sincere, if mentally ill, walking indictment. It includes not only the serious elements of the Dissident Right, but also normie conservatives, particularly parents and grandparents worried about their children and grandchildren.

But Spencer does not bother to do that, of course. Instead, he calls such protests “repugnant” and dismisses the whole concept of protesting Drag Queen Story Hour, viewing it as fundamentally an unimportant issue. This is why, thankfully, no one in the earnest factions of the Dissident Right takes anything Spencer does or says seriously. Any healthy society will do what it can to protect its children, because these societies understand that if they lose their children, they have no future. There is a reason why the Christian America of the 1950s considered abortion (infanticide) to be a serious crime. Additionally, this is why corrupting the morality of children was considered a great evil in Victorian Britain. Conversely, this is also why the unserious, decadent, and spiritually sick America of 2023 considers abortion as a “positive good.” And, if you do not end up murdering your own child in the womb, then Drag Queen Story Hour is great family entertainment. That Spencer cannot understand this reveals a critical flaw in his brand of race-reductionist nationalism.

I am not denying the importance of race. I am not a civic nationalist. However, race is also not the “be all and end all” of identity and a nation. Other factors, namely culture, are fundamental, too. But Spencer goes beyond merely having a traditional attitude towards race, rather he reduces everything to race. This is why he cannot comprehend the vast differences between White people (for example, believing the Germans, Poles, and Russians are all “one nation,” more or less). The horrors the Poles have suffered under the Germans and Russians indicate that we cannot take this claim seriously. Culture matters, and healthy cultures do not allow transvestites to read to children in the hopes of sexually molesting them. Because Spencer only advocates for race, he cannot see the threat that Drag Queen Story Hour poses to our children. The drag queens are mostly White, right? That means their interests align with redpilled White Southerners! Let’s all be White together! Spencer’s attitude toward groomers reading to children is simply the natural end point to his approval of homosexuality during his Alt-Right heyday – the infamous Tweet about the “last stand of implicit White identity.”

Spencer goes on to semi-apologize for his actions during his Alt-Right reign, namely for his interactions with “bad actors, angry young men, and the mentally ill.” And while he takes responsibility for his past actions, his writing shows that he does not realize what he did to a generation of young White men. As much as I dislike Spencer, I will give him this much – he’s articulate, well put together, charismatic, had a quality education, and comes from a wealthy family. Spencer, due to some of his personal qualities as well as his professional and familial connections, has more or less survived the fallout from the Alt-Right’s collapse, mostly by rebranding himself as “reformed” now. But others, those young men who were not as articulate, well put together, charismatic, and did not have the advantages of education and family, have not been so lucky. They have had their lives ruined. What happened to the Alt-Right will impact them for the rest of their lives. They will miss out on jobs and promotions because cowardly companies will not hire a “racist,” possibly sentencing them to a life of poverty. They have lost family and friends as a result of this fallout. Some have gone to prison. At least one has taken his own life. Rightwing nationalists will be under constant surveillance for at least a generation. The entire ordeal is a tragic tale, and the fact that Spencer does not comprehend that speaks volumes about his character. Instead, Spencer would rather blanketly condemn people protesting something that would have been laughed off as an evangelical scare tactic a decade ago.

Spencer ends his screed reminiscing about how the Trump 2016 campaign offered to end the Culture War in favor of a nationalist/populist revolt against the elite and building something new. I remember that, by then I had moved on from the Left/Right coalition to end the corporate welfare/warfare state, I recall working on a similar project during the Ron Paul era. I vigorously supported decentralization, I saw it as a way to keep the peace between Southerners and Vermonters while we worked to dismantle a corporate system that sent us off to war. Whatever one may say of that strategy in a vacuum, it fell apart when the Left declared war on us. Ending home rule was not enough, every vestige of Southern identity had to be destroyed. Homosexual marriage was not enough, Christians must be sued for not participating in it. The legalization of infanticide was not enough, it must be celebrated as the best thing since sliced bread. And drag queens being allowed to perform for adults was not enough, children had to be corrupted, too. I could go on and on. The Left escalated almost every single culturally issue, and this made the Trump 2016 promise of ending the Culture War impossible.

If Spencer cared more about culture, he would understand this.

  1. Interesting. Heinrich Himmler gave a speech to the SS in February of 1937 arguing, in sum, that homosexuality spelled the end the Western Civilization! I’d be interested to hear Lana Lokteff’s take on ‘drag queen story hours’.

    1. Who really cares what a witless LARPagan feminist like Lana Lokteff thinks or says?

      1. I find the pagan Lana Lokteff more mentally stimulating than the Christian Michelle Bachmann and the IFCJ crowd. Possibly, this seeming paradox can be explained by our Lord’s observation that “the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.”

        1. Red Ice is one of the higher quality dissident right podcasts. Although, its A BIT “extremely online” in certain instances and not nearly as normie-friendly as Ramzpaul.

          I still listen to most of the Flashback Friday episodes though.

          Props to Lana & Henrik for not getting super hung up on the Ukraine invasion– they’ve basically avoided the topic and not taken a side. Ashame they couldn’t come out and support Russia, but I guess its a lot better than the endless “no more brother wars!” mantras the pseudo-intellectual midwit crowd parrots

  2. Given that I post here under a fake email, I’ll just be totally honest and give some first hand experience here.

    Yes: subjecting children to drag queen story hour will drastically increase the odds they’ll end up gay or bisexual later in life.

    Children are like the cliche about baby ducklings when they hatch: they’ll believe that whatever the first living thing they see is, is their mother, and follow it around. That’s what “grooming” is, in its strictest non-pejorative sense; when adults instruct younger people into behaving in a certain way, and its why traditional Western Civ told its children very specific stories about courtship and the like in the form of fairy tales. Compared to today where its stuff like Lady Gaga’s “Monster” as the ideal.

    Although DQSH wasn’t around when I was growing up in the 1990s, there were obviously a certain small % of intersexed individuals– although imaginably far less than today.

    When I was very young I ended up fooling around with a good friend of mine, a same aged “girl” in the basement of one of my birthday parties. Apparently, the girl was actually born intersexed (had indeterminate genitalia) and her parents attempted to raise her as female. Seeing as this was my first experience, I just assumed this was what females looked like down there.

    Well, you can imagine my shock when I later discovered Internet porn via my parents’ 56k connection and none of the bikini babes on screen had anything extra hanging down there. You can also imagine my reaction when I first discovered transgender porn and, tada, the “women” looked “normal”.

    Most people become gay either because of toxioplasma infection (or something similar IIRC– there’s a huge 4Chan screenshot on this floating around) or because of early childhood experiences.

    Luckily for me, my experience was a result of voluntary curiosity with a same-aged person, and not being molested by an adult, so I never went onto “internalize” normalcy as something involving a wide age gap, and ergo never developed any pedo urges.

    I’m an adult now and have no problem attracting women, but thank god I was born in the late 80s and not the late 90s, when I would’ve been young enough to’ve grown up when all of this stuff was being hardcore pushed by the entire media during my hormonal teenage years. I could’ve ended up being one of those weird Tumblr people

  3. Spencer is “not a Christian.” He’s even mocked us before. A lot of what he says is right on, but he’s a worthless punk in the end because what’s a white nationalist movement without Christianity? He’s an empty vessel. Ignore him.

    As for all whites uniting … yes we’ll have to do that. Of course no gays etc but we do have to understand we – the English, German, Pol’s, Irish, Italian, French etc – are all one … we’re all the same “species of humans,” as compared to non whites which are different species. Once we filter out the libtard and gay whites, we can all get along quite well in a new Confederacy.

    Spencer can hang out with the queens if that’s what his soulless heart prefers.

    1. Agreed. And he has no business wearing the swastika! He’s in no way representing National Socialist ideas. Many of the Reich’s leading proponents were anti-clergy and anti-church, but they were NOT anti-Christianity. Richard Stiegman-Gall’s ‘The Holy Reich’ does an excellent job of expanding on this point. I’d disassociate myself from Spencer even if I were a pagan. Promoting degeneracy is a Bolshevik policy.

  4. Spencer is literally a fed and every mongoloid that goes around with a swastika is almost assuredly paid by Soros or some other State Department minion. They probably get paid more than antifa too. That’s why he pushes the “white people” meme, it’s an enemy meme. He is the enemy.

    Normally I take this publication to be sufficiently red pilled, it’s a bit disappointing to read this here. Come on guys, you live in a country where the State Department deems you a terrorist if you protest when your children are groomed and raped by faggots, you should know better.

    1. Yeah its bizarre how a sizable portion of those in our scene don’t realize whose a fed and whose not.

      Certain users (e.g. “ItIsMyTime”) on the RooshV Forum literally shilling for the TRS group “National Justice Party” springs to mind as an example.

      Or those who take Greg Johnson’s “Counter Currents” seriously even though he was totally proven wrong on both COVID19 and the Russo-Ukraine war
