Wow! You're awesome! I just found your substack through Tucker Carlson. You articulated the problems we all face in a very humane way! I hope there will be some way to pull together as a country again and battle the real enemy, which is the out of control Deep State Jeffery Tucker discusses in his article Elections Won't Fix This at the Brownstone Institute.
When large groups of people lose their moral compass, bad things tend to happen, so we all need to work at our local level to fix collective problems.
Now that he is a global celebrity of punditry, he might adopt the "third-person" style more:
"Watch Tucker and Sailer pm Youtube..." -- avoids the pesky "I" vs. "me" problem. Leaning towards that style is, I presume, more helpful to search-algorithms and to casual "low-info" passers-by alike.
Maybe Steve Sailer became a Rastafarian briefly, and made liberal use of Jamaican-Rastafarian grammar when he wrote that. And later that evening, re-converted back out of Rastafarianism and its grammar ("Watch I").
If the imagined Lost Cause narrative had ever taken hold Lincoln wouldn't have been worshipped as a secular saint for 150 years. At the same time everyone was watching Birth of a Nation the emergent empire was building him a temple complete with an idol of Honest Abe sitting on a throne adorned with fasces. Even prior to the rise of Italian fascism, everyone knew that signified imperium.
If professional Lincoln worshippers spent a tenth as much time examining the farcical treasury of virtue that led to the invasion of the South, the slaughter of the Philippines, and more than a century of imperial disasters as they do imaginary Lost Cause ooga booga--which never amounted to much more than men honoring their dead grandfathers and great uncles who never came home--we might have been able to put on the brakes back when there was something to salvage.
Revelatory.
And the Steveosphere expands!
Mr. Dreibert: it seems many prefer the term "Sailersphere" to "Steveosphere." There are many "Steves"; there are but few "Sailers"!
Thank you Mr Hail. I acknowledge your superior suggestion for nomenclature and shall employ it in future “sphere” references.
Yeah, but Steveosphere is funnier.

"Watch Tucker and me!"

What problem? You'd never say "Watch I."

If I wanted to book Steve sailer for a interview
Feels real good to be away from the other place.

Is this related to something Sailer or Tucker said in the interview? I didn't catch either of them talking about Lincoln or the Civil War.
