When we talk about DEADS, we include atomization in with democracy, equality, diversity, and socialism for a reason: atomization is the externalized individualism that is forced on everyone when individualism wins out, resulting in isolated people who see nothing more than their own complaints and demands.
In Left-wingers, it takes the form of a pathological need to join in with meaningless events. If everyone else is celebrating, you are the star, so long as you participate. This weird psychology involves the solipsism of the “we are all one” Left, which holds that people can have a hive-mind to emotionally regulate themselves.
But on the Right, you see something else: the isolated person who believes nothing will turn out well, therefore is only concerned with his personal survival and prosperity. He will throw his kids under the bus, watch his wife have sex with the pool boy, or dump car batteries in forests because he has no hope and has become bitterly selfish.
The Boomers, who were the first generation fashioned by jobs instead of professions, feature lots of these. Lonely men, usually alienated from their wives, who cannot believe that things will ever get better, and in their hearts they know this means an exclusively Anglo-Saxon society, so they have become bitter.
Men of this type live in depression and without hope. Unlike the Left, they pay attention to questions beyond the individual like civilization, genetics, and culture, but this makes them vulnerable in times of decline. Since these things are all screwed up, they give up and refuse to engage with anything but their own interests.
This gives us the “Fox News” type conservative who is really good at proclaiming judgments on things. He has an opinion on everything, and does nothing. He watches his daughters get defiled at college and his sons get passed over for promotions because they are not Black, and sort of shrugs it off with some homily on how everything is doomed.
Christianity plays right into this because it is dualistic, meaning that it rejects impure Earth in favor of a pure Heaven. This encourages people to give up and live for their own desires only, which conveniently is what humans are wired to do until they get to a certain level of intellectual ability and moral bravery.
With the constant hysteria of the conservative news, the fanatical fundamentalism, and the general sense that what we need to get out of this hole is a complete civilization do-over that most people will not support, your average conservative is a broken, hopeless person who retreats into himself and becomes selfish.
I suggest we take a different perspective: our current society has failed and is a walking corpse. This gives us a chance to make something new that we need, namely a Western European aristocratic empire from which we exclude all other races and ethnic groups.
We are all of a Nordic-Germanic root in the West and have similar cultures, aesthetics, insights, delights, and ideals. We can work together to make a new America, but we are going to have to lose those who do not belong here with us, and get rid of the parasitic DEADS that has ruined so many lives.
