>being conditioned by their environment into a depressive moratorium where instead of engaging with the world as-is they reject everything except masturbation and drugs. You end up with a ostracized, blindfolded, spiteful gender that lacks all the tools, or the knowledge of these tools, to seek reality and awareness

In trad publishing, yes. Perhaps even self-publishing.
On RR you'll just get disappointed thinking you'll be like ONE OF THOSE BIG ONES only to get like 30 readers. If you're lucky.

It's possible but I don't know. I really liked Griffin's book as well. You can tell he's trying to put together thoughts he's been developing for years into a cohesive whole. Do you read German? Rohkramer is also incredible, I think one of his books is in English too.

I think the last people writing good scholarship on fascism and right wing extremism are exceptions or they're senior scholars. If you saw some of the crap that's coming out recently, you'd know what I mean. I just check it out occasionally because of pic related phenomenon, but it's shockingly bad considering how hot a topic it is. You can tell the new crop of academics just can't do any social science that isn't based on talking points and surface level analysis. You won't get another Griffin out of this except as exceptions to the rule.

>on Gregor
I only mentioned it because I've heard other other people mention it to disparage him a lot. I personally don't care and wouldn't know the citation. I think he wrote something about it in his youth. It was probably incredibly mild. The way people react to Gregor is a good segue into your statements about MacDonald and reading controversial figures. Have you ever read the email exchanges about him and pushing him out of tenure? They're proof that tenure is meaningless and also proof that soft power should be met with hard and conscious resistance. I'm sure you're a perfectly reasonable guy despite our disagreements in worldview but when you say things like people are just "wrong" or "worthless" you are acting as a frontline soldier for generals in the war of thought control who do not care about you or me. We would never be able to have this discussion in places controlled by the people who agree with you and who would pat you on the back for saying the things I read are worthless and self-evidently bad and stupid etc. Have you read The Spy Who Came In From the Cold? From a Leamas to a Fiedler, enjoy your walk.

As you can see, I utilized a common normie meme to further illustrate my point.
