The actual cutting edge political discourse is between genocidal giga-leftism, NRx, genocidal Nietzscheanism, and chud MAGA-fascism. NRx and nietzscheanism are the only ones of those who unironically flirt with liberalism, but are basically checked out politically.

I think that gloss is basically correct. This is what I meant when I wrote on the old iteration of my blog that we needed “new minds.” This did even come close to occurring so we’re fucked for a generation at least and probably longer. We’re trapped in old ruts, saddled with archaic, inapplicable ways of thinking and of perceiving the world. These old minds will not solve new problems; in fact, they will make them worse. We can see that now very clearly as both the outmoded left and the antique right flail like fish dropped from an aircraft into a desert.

Usually, this disconnect between mentality and reality results in huge convulsions and catastrophes, e.g. WWI and WWII. We are on that path once again. Thus, WWIII is extremely likely unless we can somehow forestall it. However, nothing appears robust enough to even begin to stand in the way of that.
