Does sound a lot like it. But without referring to gays and women it's watered down.

That would probably be a bit much, even for a marginal Russian publication. Where do Milo and Douglas Murray fit into bioleninism btw? They seem to have rejected a position in the “coalition of the oppressed”.

There's a tradition, let's call it the Mishima tradition, of homosexual men moving to the right as they deplore how the culture is depriving them of real men. I don't know the specifics of their case, but Britain is likely to prioritize Muslims over homos at this rate.

1. I suspect homosexuals move to the right bc they value beauty, particularly the beauty of the male body which they—following Schopenhauer’s dismissal of women—would value as the only beauty. Beauty is the most hierarchical & unfair thing in the world, you have it or you don’t.

2. Secondarily, all male company & contempt for women is a precondition for militarism psycho-sexually (Elliott Rodger mindset). There’s a good book called Male Fantasies that explores this. I read Milo & Murray as earlier iterations of the coalition of the oppressed.

3. A bit like Christopher Hitchens, they want to go back to the liberalism/leftism of ‘68: secular, sexually hedonistic etc. They don’t understand that the leftism of ‘68 has been passed. This is why I think they will lose, as will people like Dawkins.

Yes, obviously. Again Mishima was a forerunner. He failed miserably. The essence of the left is that it keeps moving.

I don’t think Mishima failed miserably. As far as coups went, people like Pinochet would laugh at him. However, he carried out a psychic coup. People still talk about him, even in the English-speaking world, decades later. This is power of a different sort, an artistic type.

His reputation was good enough through his literature. But his politics failed. Japan today is one of the most effeminate places on earth.

I haven’t been to Japan, but I’ll take your word for it. It’s not possible to tell if his reputation would have endured without the coup, but I suspect that’s why people speak about him now and that’s why he did it really. So long as people speak of him, his politics endures.
