My analysis of the debate between Sargon and Richard Spencer - not what was said so much as what it says about Sargon himself.

The worst sort of hypocrite is the man who chooses his beliefs for the sake of personal convenience.
Imagine the coward that suddenly finds reason to be against the current war.
Imagine the church boy that demands his wife obey him out of piousness, but utterly lacks the virility to truly lead her or satisfy her in the manner of a husband.
Imagine the man who hates his mother and thus insists that women by their very nature are untrustworthy.
See, the normal hypocrite espouses a standard that they themselves fail to live up to, but it is nonetheless a standard which is admirable in and of itself.
The hypocrite who chooses their beliefs to bolster and bulwark their own weaknesses not only leads themselves astray, but encourages a great multitude of others into great personal folly.
Now this is my first video where I'm going to be analyzing the recent debate conversation dumpster fire between Styx Hexenhammer, Sargon Picod, and Richard Spencer.
Now in that debate, you had three men advocating three different positions.
One of them was advocating the point that our biggest problem in the present day world is the sheer massive growth of government and that nothing can get accomplished because every which way you turn there's a regulator and a lobbyist and a bylaw preventing you from getting stuff done.
Another of them was advocating that what matters the most is personal liberty, freedom of speech, freedom of property, freedom of conscience.
That this is what makes Western civilization great.
The third of them was arguing that what matters is identity, culture, understanding who we are so we can understand where we're going.
And if you just look at the debate as those three points, you might walk away saying, well, they're all right.
Why are they even arguing?
We need every single one of those things if we have any hope of surviving into the future.
But see, that's not what the conversation was about.
Because of those three men, one of them, I believe, came to his beliefs through a process of analysis, of logic, of rationality, and even self-criticism.
The other two arrived at their beliefs for the sake of convenience.
Now in this video, I'm going to be talking about Sargon of Akkad.
I'm going to be talking about why, regardless of what he espouses, it's not who he is.
And who he is, is deeply hypocritical, is deeply fallacious.
And if you follow him, it's going to lead you on the path to ruin.
Now the debate itself, in my opinion, is not worth listening to.
It's four hours long, and if you cut out all the parts where people were speaking over one another or just making grandiose, meaningless statements, you would divide it by a half, if not a quarter.
But it is very telling, in that if you pay attention to what's being said, it tells you a lot about the characters of the men involved.
The first hour of the debate involves Sargon of Akkad demanding that Richard Spencer give a specific definition of what race is, defining what the white race is in particular.
Which is absurd.
It's absurd of saying where is the line between the forest over here and the planes over there.
Where is the line specifically?
Where is the gene, as Crowd and T might say?
The thing is that race is an idea that gets blurry at the edges.
The same way with color.
Color gets blurry at the edges, and yet we still have red and we still have blue.
We have the forest and we have the planes.
Where specifically you draw the line on the map is something that can be debated, and there might be very interesting conversations there.
But it certainly doesn't mean that forests and planes don't exist.
Now here's the thing.
Sargon knows races exist.
He has admitted on many occasions that race exists.
He knows it.
His objection to Richard Spencer was not that Richard Spencer was positing some imaginary quality.
His problem came out during the second hour of the debate when he said as soon as you provide a descriptive, it becomes a prescriptive.
Now Richard Spencer brushed this aside, which is disingenuous on his part.
But we're not talking about him, we're talking about Sargon right now.
Sargon knows that race exists, and yet he objects to it being described, because once it is described, it will become prescribed.
You see, my father once said to me, Arenis have a strong sense of justice.
He said this in response to something I said, describing a very strong point on a matter of justice.
And you see, this description of the Arene's as valuing justice became prescriptive for me.
That justice is something I should value if I'm going to be a true Arena.
This doesn't just happen with race, of course, or family.
The Army is full of tough guys.
The Navy is full of disciplined gentlemen.
And the Air Force is full of cool guys.
Every single one of those descriptions immediately becomes prescriptive.
If you're the Army, then you'd better be tough.
If you're in the Air Force, I guess you'd better get some aviators.
If you're an Arena, you'd better have a strong sense of justice, and you'd better not balk from it.
And this goes with races as well.
Italians are expected to be good lovers, and the French are supposed to be good at baking.
Blacks are supposed to have rhythm.
Asians are hard workers.
Etc. ad nauseum.
Now, of course, you can have positive or negative descriptions for every race.
But again, that was not Carl Benjamin's objection.
It was not that some races lack positive definitions.
Because if that is a problem, then maybe we should find some positive definitions, something to live up to.
No, that's not his complaint at all.
His complaint was having a prescription in the first place.
Who is Carl Benjamin?
Who is the sargon of Akkad that proclaims that 18th century Germany was not part of Western civilization because Western civilization is nothing but classical liberalism?
Who is this man that so celebrates the freedom of the individual?
Well, Mr. Benjamin is the grandson of a black man, which is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
There is a great deal of pride to be found in your heritage, whatever it might be.
But he's a grandson of a black man, and even though you would mistake him for being completely British, or at least mostly, in his own mind, he is always, he is always that outsider.
His grandmother is not a woman that fell in love with a man of another race.
His mother, his grandmother, is a mud shark.
Carl Benjamin is a man who married a woman with two women from a previous marriage.
My wife's sons.
And thus far, he has no children that I know of with his wife.
He is a man who once said, he is too good to show up on time and punch the clock in the morning.
He'd rather live on welfare.
Carl Benjamin is a man that demands personal freedom because freedom means no accountability.
The science fiction author John C. Wright once commented that libertarianism works great for Christian bachelors during peacetime.
You take away any one of those elements and libertarianism begins to fall apart.
Christian, because libertarianism only works for societies that embrace Christian principles.
The golden rule.
That if you don't have your own accountability, if you are not accountable to yourself and God, then libertarianism lets you get away with running Brix scams.
And we have seen this in Western civilization.
As the moral character declines, we move further and further away from a libertarian society.
Bachelors.
Because it's one thing to say I have the freedom to do whatever I want and I don't care what my neighbor does.
It's another thing when you're raising children.
Because all of a sudden you don't have freedom.
And what your neighbor is doing suddenly does concern you quite a bit.
And finally, peacetime.
Because in peacetime, we need to make hard decisions.
We might need to abandon a bit of territory, and that territory might include your house.
And if you don't go along with the plan, your house will be a useful means of egress for the enemy to attack the rest of us.
Sacrifices must be made.
There must be this community spirit.
This is why, incidentally, every society that the anarcho-capitalists love to bring up, every example of look at this free society in history, every single one of them fell.
Because although a good society full of Christians, bachelors, during peacetime, looks very libertarian, you need a bit more than personal freedom.
But see, here's the really damning thing about Sargon of Akkad: it's that he's not truly a libertarian.
He finds it convenient to be a libertarian in a socialist society.
In a society which won't force him to work for a living.
In a society that won't force him to keep his word, otherwise he becomes a pariah.
In a society full of the depths of corruption which we have today, it is very convenient for Carl Benjamin to be a libertarian because nobody will ever call him on it.
But in his heart of hearts, he knows what he is.
He is a weakling and a coward and a layabout.
He is deracinated.
He feels no pride in being British.
He denounces the whole conception of the British people having pride because in his mind he is still the product of a mud shark.
He has no responsibility to bring children of his own into the world or to serve as a good example for your children.
He is an atomized individual and you can't hold the atomized individual responsible.
And if being atomized individuals means that in 200 years that the descendants of the great men that built Western civilization, if the descendants are completely marginalized, if the descendants have gone extinct and they've been replaced with the gibber jabberings of the most ignorant and prolific rabbits from the Third World,
if the Sistine Chapel gets turned into a brothel in 200 years, it doesn't matter because Carl Benjamin will be dead.
The last thing he wants to hear is that he has some responsibility.
The last thing he wants to hear is that he has been weak, that he has made mistakes, that he has been slothful, and he needs to get his act together.
We all need to get our act together.
When you follow Sargon of Akkad, post a video telling you that feminists are stupid.
But you knew this already.
You didn't gain anything from this video, learning that feminists are stupid, they have stupid performance art, that the left is dumb and hypocritical.
You know all of this already.
What did you accomplish by watching this video, by following all of this?
What did you gain?
What you gained was narcissistic supply.
What you gained was a pat on the back telling you that you are smart and so you don't have to do anything because of these feminists.
You can just keep advocating for more freedom and more liberty without responsibility, which is how we got into this mess in the first place.
Now, Jordan B. Peterson, if he were to grace me with this company, might point out that the sort of freedom that Sargon of Akkad promotes, the sort of classical liberalism which he advocates for, is that which we see in Pinocchio on Pleasure Island, where the boys are allowed to play pool and smoke cigars and drink beer until all hours of the morning,
as one by one they're turned into jackasses to be put into boxes and carted away.
That is the freedom.
That is the folly which Sargon of Akkad is selling you.
The reason he hates the alt-right is not for their vices, of which there are many.
The reason he hates the alt-right, and for that matter the feminists, is for their virtues.
Sargon wants to lead you down a path of folly, because, well, they can't send all of us to hell, can they?
Trust me, they can.
Deus Bolt, folks.
Next time, it'll be time for me to shit on the alt-right.
