nattybudliteI used to be an ancap, but then I got a job. In this video, I go through the most foundational arguments Libertarians make in favor of Capitalism and against Socialism, showing them to be baseless.
Every Anarcho-Capitalist Argument Refutednattybudlite2026-07-04 | I used to be an ancap, but then I got a job. In this video, I go through the most foundational arguments Libertarians make in favor of Capitalism and against Socialism, showing them to be baseless.Individualism and Group Identitynattybudlite2026-09-11 | In this video, I discuss whether individualism is heritable across populations, how the Left has abandoned collectivism for individualism, and how the right's individualism militates against nationalism. Ultimately, individualism destroys distinct groups.Why Liberalism Cripples the Rightnattybudlite2026-08-13 | In this video, I explain why the right needs to abandon Liberalism.Why There are So Many RIght Wing Griftersnattybudlite2026-08-02 | In this video, I seek to answer from a right-wing perspective why there are so many grifters on the right.Response to the Ancapsnattybudlite2026-07-28 | I got a couple of responses to my video from AnarchoEcon and LiquidZulu, so I figured I would clear some things up and talk about the state of the discourse. I probably won't make any more videos on ancap since I've kind of exhausted that topic, and I want to shift my focus onto other concepts/ideologies. Also I'm just bored of it. I think I have done my duty as a former actual ancap to push back against its more pernicious aspects, and to unsettle the unshakable confidence of Libertarians that their philosophy is the ONLY and OBJECTIVELY CORRECT political philosophy that people MUST ACCEPT. Clearly, they were a little unsettled, otherwise they wouldn't have responded.Libertarianism is the Communism of the Bourgeoisienattybudlite2026-07-16 | This is a miscellania of arguments/criticisms against Anarcho-Capitalism that didn't fit into my refutation video. I discuss natural rights, anthropology, political economy, and more.Libertarianism Cannot be Conservativenattybudlite2026-07-11 | In this video, I explain why Libertarianism is incompatible with 'Conservative' values, such as having a common historical identity, a common race, and a common culture. Mainly, I focus on refuting the claim made by Libertarians, such as Ayn Rand, that the collective does not exist.
Yes, they actually think groups don't exist. Lol.Slopulism Explainednattybudlite2026-06-24 | In this video, I analyze Endeavor's concept of slopulism and critique populism more generally as a political phenomenon, showing that it is either ineffective, in which case it simply ratifies the existing Liberal order, or dangerously totalitarian by way of demagogy.Jean-Claude Michea: Why the Left Abandoned the Proletariatnattybudlite2026-06-16 | The Frankfurt school was rather explicit in its abandonment of the proletariat, but Michea points to a broader, overall trend occuring in France and elsewhere, in which progressive mores and aims take priority over the consideration of the proletariat and its interests/communities. In this video, I summarize some of the views of Michea from his book, 'Toward a Conservative Left.'Escape from Freedom, Secular Creationism, and Pseudoreligionsnattybudlite2026-06-07 | Erich Fromm was a prominent political psychologist, who authored a book called 'Escape from Freedom.' Its main thesis is that the development of the individual has unmoored mankind from the ties that previously granted cetainty and security, and to compensate, people have renounced their selves in favor of Fascism, which grants them the security they desire.
In this video, I summarize the basic points of the book, expand on my critique of political psychology, and then discuss some of the problems with Fromm's progressive mindset.The Sociological and Historical Origins of Nationalismnattybudlite2026-06-02 | In this video, I summarize Benedict Anderson and Ernest Gellner's books, 'Imagined Communities' and 'Nationalism.' They argue that nationalism has emerged from the advent of mass literacy, allowing for the forging of a homogeneous high culture. This presents as an alternative to the cynical Marxist theories of nationalism -- i.e. that it exists purely either to exclusivize wealth or serve as ideology.
My music (including the intro song:) youtube.com/watch?v=GwpW7mbZKNsCritical Review: How to Be a Conservativenattybudlite2026-05-25 | In this video, I review the late Roger Scruton's book 'How to Be a Conservative.' I show that it reproduces the same defense of the neoliberal status quo as his other books, which ultimately does not accomplish the necessary shift in discourse necessary for the salvation of Europe and America.Monarchist Reacts to Libertas vs. JimmyTalksnattybudlite2026-05-22 | An ancap youtuber named Libertas made a response to JimmyTalks's video where he critiqued Libertarianism. I respond to the response, showing that ancaps don't have a coherent definition of Capitalism, that the financial sector's problems stem more from an unregulated market than from government interference, and also that Libertarians are completely cucked on the nation.
Sorry for some of the words cutting out. I didn't set my gate correctly. Will fix that next time.National Monarchy: Toward Omniparticularity [Audiobook]nattybudlite2026-05-16 | I present my own work of political philosophy and ideology, which outlines the principle of omniparticularity -- the defense of discrete human types to which political orders will conform. I also discuss the nature of culture, how political actors instrumentalize it, I critique Liberalism, and discuss how states form as well as the function of political power within states. Finally, I enumerate the points of National Monarchy, which combines communitarianism with the nation-state.

He mangles the point of view of the postmodern and Marxist left, and ultimately fails to counter the real, legitimate concerns the right has about the trajectory of the Liberal experiment.What Is a Rightoid?nattybudlite2026-05-07 | In this video, I expand on Keith Wood's article 'What Is a Rightoid?' explaining the anatomy of the right's most pernicious political type which prevents the true right from winning.John Stossel: Prager U for Libertarian Dupesnattybudlite2026-05-02 | John Stossel is Libertarianism's best soldier. In this video, I dunk on his arguments and prejudices.A Critique of Political Psychologynattybudlite2026-04-29 | Armchair psychoanalysis is all the rage on both the left and right. We've all heard it a million times: Liberals are too emotional, Conservatives are too domineering. In this video, I aim to demolish these stereotypes in favor of a discourse model for understanding political belief.Why I Am Not a Reactionarynattybudlite2026-04-22 | In previous videos, I referred to myself as a reactionary; however, given that in the modern context, to be a reactionary means primarily to support Capitalism, I can no longer in good faith call myself one. I don't want to share space with these people, i.e. Moldbug, J.D. Vance, Thiel. React against reaction!A Conservative Wrote Political Philosophy (Its Bad...)nattybudlite2026-04-10 | Mark Levin is Israel's greatest soldier, and to bolster the GOP's agenda, he wrote a polemical book called 'On Power,' which despite the title, has no relation to Bertrand de Jouvenel's titular work. In this video, I analyze his arguments, pick apart his categories, and expose his hypocrisy.Is Liberalism the Final System?nattybudlite2026-03-15 | In this video, I explore Francis Fukuyama's thesis in 'The End of History and the Last Man," that Liberal Capitalism will be the final political system.A Comprehensive Critique of Elite Theorynattybudlite2026-02-28 | Elite theory is often held out to be a right-wing alternative to Marxist power analysis, but in this video, I show why it cannot be the case by criticizing the works of mainly Gaetano Mosca and Vilfredo Pareto. Finally, I end with some words on Academic Agent's book, 'The Populist Delusion.'Vaush is WRONG About Essentialism #shortsnattybudlite2026-02-24 | Vaush does not understand what essentialism is, and in fact, doesn't know that he is the real essentialist.Critical Review: The Meaning of Conservatism by Roger Scrutonnattybudlite2026-02-08 | Roger Scruton is a quite hyped up figure in Conservative discourse. In this video, I critique his ideas from a reactionary perspective, illustrating that he has not resolved the problem of a Conservative lack of principles.Metatron is Bad at Political Analysis: N*zism is Actually Right-Wingnattybudlite2026-02-02 | Chill reaction video where I dunk on an old Metatron video. Join me as I debunk his 'simple liberalism' which causes him to believe that, for some reason, political ideologies that are in fact different are really the same thing.What the Left Gets RIGHTnattybudlite2026-01-27 | There is a tendency for men of the right to outright dismiss the ideas and arguments of the left, but actually, sometimes they do get things correct. In this video, I explain the good that can come from paying attention to left-wing discourse.The American Questionnattybudlite2026-01-22 | In this video, I argue from a perspective similar to that of Alain de Benoist in his American Malady: that America is a threat to European independence and nationalism. Right-wing politics in America is mostly dead in the water due to the impossibility of forming any real ethnic solidarity.@MentisWave Debunked: He Doesnt Understand Anarchism (or anything, really.) [1k Sub Special]nattybudlite2026-01-19 | I react to Mentiswave 'debunking' anarchism. Mainly he just equivocates state socialism and anarchism, then argues against state socialism.
Disclaimer: I am not an anarchist. This video is simply meant to criticize the low level of discourse characteristic of Mentiswave. I think people should be genuinely interested in political philosophy as a subject and ought to pay all ideologies the respect they deserve from an intellectual point of view. Do not be a partisan like Mentiswave.Western Civilization is a Cultural Steamrollernattybudlite2026-01-16 | In this video, I deconstruct "Western civilization" from a right-wing perspective. I show that the idea of "Western culture" denotes specifically enlightenment philosophy rather than an integral, European tradition.Refuting a Pseud: Mentiswave Hates Poor Peoplenattybudlite2026-01-15 | I react to a video by Mentiswave in which he makes various bad arguments against welfare. Rather than his atomized, anarchic individualism, I propose a state based around the common good of the group -- in other words, a social nation.MAGA Imperialism and the Regime of Necessitynattybudlite2026-01-11 | Trump's invasion of Venezuela and his kidnapping of Maduro have sparked a wave of support among the MAGA base for neoliberal, Atlanticist imperialism. In this video, I explain why imperialism, neoliberalism, and colonialism are not valid ideas for the right. Instead, we ought to adopt the principle of nationalist omniparticularity.National Monarchism Explainednattybudlite2026-01-06 | National Monarchism is a synthesis of Nationalism and Monarchism, meant to provide a framework for reaction in the modern world.
0:00 Intro 7:21 Critiques of Nationalism 8:06 Synthesis 9:50 Main Principle 11:12 Quantity and Autarky 12:35 Autarky 14:34 Organization of the Economy 17:00 Foreign Policy 20:12 Form of Monarchy 22:38 Social Policy 23:43 ConclusionThe Right is Doing Power Analysis Wrong (Mostly)nattybudlite2026-01-03 | In this video, I attempt to synthesize Foucault's idea of power discourse with the Italian elite theory of figures such as Mosca, Michels, and Pareto. Mostly the wrong version of this discourse comes from people like Academic Agent or Joseph Bronski, so I consider this video as an attempt to address that.Donoso Cortes: Spains Greatest Counter-Revolutionarynattybudlite2025-12-12 | Donoso Cortes was a prominent politician and journalist from 19th century Spain. In this video, I summarize his thought on revolution and Socialism.The Anarchist Challenge A Response to Anarknattybudlite2025-12-02 | In this video, I critique anarchism and attempt a positive defense of hierarchy. Mostly I focus on the question of human nature as well as whether the "naturalistic fallacy" is apt to describe arguments that derive the state from human nature. Finally, I end by examining the fundamental difference between the left and right: The evaluation of values.Camp of the Saintsnattybudlite2025-11-30 | Jean Raspail's Camp of the Saints, despite being a popular piece of right-wing literature circa 2014 - 2016, is very flawed and probably counterproductive. In this video, I explain why.Victims of Liberation: Why Class War Doesnt Worknattybudlite2025-11-14 | The proletariat do, in fact, have more to lose than their chains.Against Universalismnattybudlite2025-11-07 | I criticize leftist arguments in favor of universal rights and world equality, arguing that universal rights destroy civic responsibility, and also that world equality, for various reasons, is impossible and has negative externalities.Zohran Mamdani is Basednattybudlite2025-11-06 | In this video, I explain why Mamdani isn't really some sort of Communist revolutionary, and conclude that he represents an important shift in foreign policy discourse that is beneficial to the right. Mainly, though, this video was just a test of some new audio settings. Let me know in the comments if you like the new audio mixing or prefer my older videos.Debunking Trans Identitynattybudlite2025-11-04 | In this video, I make arguments against trans identity, showing that it is basically meaningless and untruthful.Equality is a Dangerous Ideanattybudlite2025-11-01 | In this video, I give a few examples from history, and some predictions about the future, to illustrate why Equality often leads to violence and even atrocity. Although, you could argue that this video is more so a defense of King George III.
Sorry for the poor audio and sniffling, I have a bit of a cold.Human Equality is Impossible to Provenattybudlite2025-11-01 | In this video, I explain why the paradigm of human equality is impossible to prove.Egalitarianism Deconstructednattybudlite2025-10-28 | In this video, I examine formulations of egalitarianism and criticize their flaws, showing them to be without any rational basis.Basic Problems in Epistemologynattybudlite2025-10-27 | Quick video about Lawrence BonJour's book on epistemology.Conservatism is Bigotry: A View from the Rightnattybudlite2025-10-26 | Bigotry means "by gott:" it's an obstinate defense of one's belief or narrative in the face of evidence. In this video, I explain why I consider Conservatism to be a bigoted political orientation and end with some advice to Conservatives.Critical Review: After Liberalism by Paul Gottfriednattybudlite2025-10-25 | Paul Gottfried is a popular Conservative author who has had some influence both on the mainstream and fringe right. In this video, I determine whether his writing evinces foundational principles for Conservatism or if it is simply a defense of the status quo.Why the Left Lost the Discourse + Talk on Pipelinesnattybudlite2025-10-24 | Hasan Piker has declared that the left has lost the online discourse, and that many young men are turning far-right. In this video, I aim to explain why and what the left can do about it.Why Ideology is Important for the Rightnattybudlite2025-09-24 | In this video, I explain why the right cannot dispense with having a solid ideological foundation for its point of view. Theory is not divorced from praxis, but rather, as the Frankfurt school says, theory and praxis are one and the same.Is the Frankfurt School Really That Subversive? A Look at Marcusenattybudlite2025-08-09 | In this video, I summarize and raise some objections to two of Herbert Marcuse's books: One-Dimensional Man, and Counter-Revolution and Revolt. I determine just how subversive the works of Marcuse are, and whether the cliche right-wing narrative on the Frankfurt School is accurate.Collective Shout and Capitalist Neocensorshipnattybudlite2025-08-06 | Many have blamed the recent payment processor censorship of Steam on "The Left," but in this video, I explain that this problem is caused and enabled by the "axiologically neutral" values of Capitalism.
