The Right needs to stop assuming that, before the modern world, there was a spirit of universal objectivity, reason, rationality, neutrality, unbiased reporting, etc., in politics, academia, and media. It's a spook.

This is truly a haunting spectre for the Right. Many constantly lament the loss of these scientific qualities -- as if the famed journos of the 1950s weren't commie shills, or the ones investigating Watergate weren't Democrat voters!

As if the journalists of c. 1800 didn't use literal fart & poop jokes in their editorials against George III or Napoleon. The Press has always been in the gutter. Objectivity has always been a lie and a vain imagining. Men do what they want because they enjoy it.

The Right imagines there was objectivity in the past because the past was more right-wing socially relative to what we have today; so talk of objectivity, reason, rationality, logic, etc., really means "people used to agree with me more".

The Right looks back to a past that never existed; the Left pats itself on the back for a thing they don't have and never will. Lament the loss of high civilisation all you want; high caste and low were always selfish and subjective. This is good. This is nature.

One must become keenly aware that ghosts, gods, superstitions, folk-traditions, songs, lore, etc., are very visceral & emotional, not an intellectual exercise. Nothing in life that mattered ever resided in palaces, cathedrals, or universities.

Civilisation-idolaters may sit in their high castles pontificating about reason & absolute truth. Meanwhile the modern black or arab has no such concepts, but reproduces like a rabbit & destroys threats to his Own on the streets like a savage: traits that ensure a lasting tribe.

The mark of civilisation isn't high vaulted cathedrals and genteel manners, etiquette of debate and nuance of argument; it's the willingness to use power without concern for what others think, and to seek to achieve your ends without fear of man. Everything else is a pretense.
