Brilliant interview. I couldn't agree more with this: "Trump's finest and most important moments were simply from not being a pussy---which is more threatening and powerful than any specific policy issue. The First Commandment is to not be a pussy, and the coherence and sophistication have to be built on top of that, otherwise it's just cope." Our entire civilization is now organized around bringing up boys as pussies, turning men into pussies, embracing leaders who are pussies. The agenda is obviously driven by women and men who are trying to please women. Anytime Trump gets really Bronze Age and threatens the zeitgeist of Pussywerdenheit, the opposition gets electrified because they sense that something primal is surfacing. This is the real source of the anti-Trump hysteria. Men are back, and we thought we had gotten rid of them. Darren recently posted a video on his Twitter feed about a man who votes for Biden on his deathbed to make his daughters happy. Darren's comment: "America in the year 2020. Repulsive gynocracy". When I read that, as a woman, I wanted to crawl through the Internet and hug him. He gets the civilization-destroying consequences of total pussification when very few others do. As for Niccolo Soldo, I had no idea who he was before I read this, but he's in my top ten now. Thank you, gentlemen.

"Jonathan Greenblatt is a hideously ugly man who looks like a human gefilte fish." This is the type of content I come here for. But seriously, this was a great interview; Darren is a rising star on the right and I hope his influence continues to grow. His point about blaming the US elites and not China is especially important, viz China can't buy influence unless someone is selling. A refusal to introspect the system that facilitates corruption and just pointing fingers makes one sound like a whiny victim with no agency (not dissimilar to Greenblatt, funnily enough).

Also, I think the right will become less supportive of military interventions as the boomers' influence recedes. The younger generations are sick of it and mostly see through the faux appeals to patriotism and "American leadership."
