They reside mainly in the Universities, the very wealthy urban sectors, and the global political class (GPC). <br /><br />Much of the GPC probably knows it's lying and is doing so for reasons of attaining power described by Stix. The rest of the PC elites are HIGHLY status conscious and identify with the political class as constituents, motivated by Sailerian reasons. Outside of those, there are precious few PC fanatics. However, Auster does have a point regarding things like gay marriage, for which there is something like 33% support (and perhaps closer to 45% among whites). Most of these whites are skeptical of homosexuality in general, but cannot reason past the simplistic "they should have equal rights to marriage" principle.Paul DeRenonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-66739377321497774422009-12-23T14:05:23.315-05:002009-12-23T14:05:23.315-05:00I like your line of thinking.

That is: the ideology of the enemies of our civilization. After the last liberal is gone there will be plenty of time to analyze their motives. I don't question the motives of people like Fjordman or Auster, their heart is in the right place. However, at this time it better for defenders of Western Civilization to regard everyone who is a partisan or beneficiary of this ideology categorically, as an enemy.jesse helms think-alikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-5836149416521309032009-12-23T13:02:59.301-05:002009-12-23T13:02:59.301-05:00Mr. Stix,

Poli...In short, Mr. Stix rejects political science. Political science means the attempt to arrive at a true account of the structure of political society, political movements, and political beliefs. It is true that our opponents are not philosophers or political scientists, and that they do not approach their own ideas on the level of political science. They do, however, have <i>reasons</i> for what they believe, even if they do not always articulate them; and if we are to have any hope not only of defeating the false world view of liberalism but replacing it with truth, those reasons need to be brought out and exposed.Lawrence Austerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849202044663080776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-69697136359761522182009-12-23T10:34:36.813-05:002009-12-23T10:34:36.813-05:00If, as Mr. Stix does, we reduce the dominant ideol...If, as Mr. Stix does, we reduce the dominant ideology of our age (whatever we may call it, PC or leftism or liberalism) to nothing but a drive for power, we have not understood it. This is obvious from the fact that not all liberals are after power. Mr. Stix's theory cannot explain the beliefs of the ordinary member of liberal society who has no power and is not seeking power but supports the PC ideology because he thinks it's right. <i>Why</i> does he think it's right? Mr. Stix not only has no answer to that question, he opposes any answer to that question, by dismissing all possible answers as "philosophy." <br /><br />It's the same with Steve Sailer's reductionist explanation of liberalism as a desire for status. What about all the people who are not concerned about status but support liberalism because they think it's right? Sailer has no answer. Since he thinks liberalism is not based on any understanding of the world but is just based the desire for status, he has no arguments against people who think liberalism is true and right. And he renders his intellectual followers incapable of arguing against people who think liberalism is true and right. <br /><br />Of course the left seeks power, and the left must be opposed on the level of power. But to reduce the left to nothing but a drive for power is to abandon any attempt to understand—and to persuade people of the falsity of—the dominant ideology of our age.Lawrence Austerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849202044663080776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24200494.post-83887398399787420312009-12-23T08:21:47.250-05:002009-12-23T08:21:47.250-05:00greetings Nicholas. I'm a long tme reader. I...greetings Nicholas. I'm a long tme reader. If you are not familiar with it, a book by Richard Weaver, called Ideas Have Consequences would be well worth your while. He traces western man's descent into irrationality and an "envious fever", a phrase from Shakespeare. He dates the transition from the shift to Nominalism in the generation of Occam. Among many many great lines he refers, in 1947 no less, to "modern mans' growing incapcity for logic". He was writing in the same year as Orwell. Highly recomended. <br /> YOu are quite right about the ultimate lowalties of the various PC factions. "if this be madness, there must be method in it". Yes, and the method is ingroup power. <br />all for now, God bless and keep you and yours, JCMurphyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
