I have yet to see any refutation of the aesthetic argument against modernism, rationalism, liberalism and atheism. The best that can be done seems to be the absurd assertion that beauty doesn’t exist.

It is said that aesthetic appeals to the past are exercises in a subjective romanticism, the imagining of what was 100 years ago as beautiful, yet I have not seen any romantic paintings of 1918, despite us being here in 2018. Artistically, nobody envisions the 1900s as beautiful

I am discounting here the crude Coca Cola nostalgia for the 1950s which is eminently retarded, as well as the fascination for the 1980s (since this is more a nostalgia for what the 1980s imagined the future would be). Objectively, contemporary romanticism has become impossible.

Every argument on the right has force: the spiritual, the moral, the practical, even the scientific to some extent. But liberals have unfortunately convincing rejoinders to these. Atheism, fictional past atrocities, Sargonite plebeianism, and lies. Aesthetics remain underused

I feel this might be due to a natural left/right brain issue, that the right is quite bad at expressing itself artistically, and feels out of its comfort zone in doing so, but this may be unnecessarily ceding ground that could be easily won.

We want to advance on the political, on the geopolitical, on the media landscape, but the weakest point of our enemy may in fact be that which appears their undisputed fortress: the arts. Objectively speaking, liberal art is either depressing, effeminate or childish.

Our best case might not be that liberals are the 'ungodly' ones, the 'immoral' ones, the 'short-sighted' ones, the ones who 'deny reality', but instead that liberals are the ugly ones. The world they create is hideous, and demands an aesthetic 'revolution from the heights'.

"They are the irrational ones" is skeptic woke centrist nonsense, you MUST appeal to aesthetics or else. The right is terrible at it, the centrist Sargon tier skeptics, my God they wouldn't know or care about genuine art even if they tried.
