Why you should be acquainted with poetry.
If you're a stranger to great verse, now is the time for your introduction. I hope this may help set you upon a lifetime journey that rescues you from cultural philistinism.
From Beowulf to Ezra Pound and the Italian fascists, and the Catholic troubadours to Shakespeare and TS Eliot, this art form has always possessed a profoundly mystical cosmological power and human significance. It's a crippling symptom of our time's deafness to the divine music that we have lost an appreciation for and understanding of its wealth.
Even if you're not totally stranger to it, the wisdom of some of history's greatest minds can help us anamnestically recover how poetry uniquely illuminates the inner depths of reality.

How can anyone ever be depressed when the word "troon" exists?
The goyim never think. Use your head from time to time

The problem is that the right has taste and a sense of shame.
If our side quoted The Handmaid's Tale (or something equivalent) as much as they do, it would be riffed as low status, fantastical, crude. And this would be correct.
However, the masses don't have refined taste. The left has captured the public consciousness on virtually every occasion since the war with far greater potency. Combine the right's unwillingness to weaponise anything low-status and use the means of culture and emotion (utilise anything other than dry data or abstract rational argument) with the dirth of right wing art in general, and this goes much of the way towards explaining why we lose.
Many in the population, particularly women, are not persuaded by statistics and reason (as we're satirising and increasingly aware of) effectively. By denying ourselves the tools, we struggle to reach them. Many like vibes and are persuaded by Instagram story activism and the power of stories.
So there's a strong case for pinching your nose and putting up with a degree of the cringe

There's truth to this. Reverse side is – human nature is imitative and our consciousness, typological.
Social Learning Theory in psychology says behaviour is learned by imitating role models. Girard expanded this as memesis. The left understands the power of myth and archetype
Political despair often inspires a retreat into escapism, but this is ridiculous. I wrote about Anakin posting and the lure of fantasy

Please remember: decline can always be reversed.

I dream of a day when the anti-replacement right doesn't cannibalise itself or countersignal every little cultural victory it gets, however crude these might be
Huge problem on the right is the moralfag above-it-all countersignalling.
"I want civilisation to recover, but would never do or involve myself in anything other than vague grumbling from the sidelines and engaging in impotent, smug irony."
I know for a fact he does have "important" connexions
There are two groups of people in this world:
Those who understand the power of vibes and symbols
And those who do not
1 - La Lazio ha vinto per la prima volta 9 dei primi 10 match stagionali di Serie A; è il 6° club a raggiungere questo traguardo, dopo Juventus (4 volte), Milan e Napoli (2), Roma e Torino (1). Ultimi a riuscirci erano stati Milan e Napoli nel 21/22. Straripante.

The idea you will stoke patriotism, virtue, and loyalty (which are essentially and at root what's needed for civilisation and birthrates to recover) over the indifference of individualistic hedonism without morality (or grace) is the height of retardation.
One day we will need to purge the nihilistic right out. They're a dead end.
In the meantime we can farm their vibes. The truth in the below is that enchanted, confident vitalism is needed
Doesn't even apply to me bc annoyingly I've only ever really been attracted to intelligent and mature women who can go toe to toe with me on profounder matters.
But RE Anakin memes, the asymmetry where younger women who (understandably) want older men who have careers sorted and maturity developed are treated as legitimate, as older men who prefer the more innocent, younger, more fecund women are commonly lambasted – is grating.
One does get a sense the mountain of double standards placed upon men and whites with incessant psychological browbeating for decades is now a heap of snow waiting to avalanche in retribution
