Liminal Anglo (John Arcto): From Dissident Exhaustion to Cultural Reconstruction

Robert Stark and UK based blogger, John Arcto (formerly Anglo-Futurist) articulate a post-dissident, culturally oriented stance that has moved beyond conventional right-wing politics. Subscribe to his new Substack.

Topics:

The reasons behind Why John deleted his old Substack, “Anglofuturist”
How John’s views have evolved over the past few years, including his shift away from politics toward culture and philosophy
-Why John believes “Blue America” is actually worse about cancel culture than Britain
-How John’s earlier cancellation by the Left, led him to become performatively extreme, despite not being rightwing
-Robert’s contrasting political trajectory
-How the alt-right mirrored the left as a Brahmin-Dalit alliance against the Vaishya (mainstream) right
-John’s falling out with Walt Bismarck and Walt’s focus on status
-Robert’s book Journey to Vapor Island  as “authentically Robert Stark”—offensive on every level (Taxi Driver meets Clueless, devolving into Naked Lunch or David Lynch)
-How John’s moral signaling against Robert’s fetish postings was performative
-The problem with feminism: that women are power bottoms
-How immigration policy in the UK was worse under the Tories because their backers were the wealthy and boomers
-The need for a Danish Social Democrat-style approach that combines social democracy with immigration restriction
-How American online-right “slop” about civil war in the UK is often driven by Zionism
-The UK’s gradual decline and the shared sense of political malaise on both left and right
-How the 2010s were analogous to the 1960s and the 2020s to the 1970s
-How “anti-woke” has become a meaningless conservative wedge issue
John’s review of Backrooms contrasted with Robert’s mall-world article, and broader theme of liminal spaces
-Why John has turned to Christianity, partly for cultural reasons, describing himself as a monist critical rationalist (metaphysically realist but morally anti-realist and universalist)
John’s review of Plotinus’s The Enneads and why he prefers the term “Plotinusism” instead of Neoplatonism
-Robert’s critique of Christians who combine blank-slatism with eternal damnation, and his preference for an HBD-inspired theosophy
-Why John rejects theurgy as occult magic
Why John is a non-dualist about consciousness and identifies as a cosmopsychist
-John’s advocacy for sovereign polyarchic, pan-Westernism and its similarities to ethnopluralism and the Holy Roman Empire
-Why John is hostile to the concept of natural rights, viewing them as fundamentally authoritarian
-Why moral and social issues are better handled at the local level and adjusted for diversity
-Robert’s experience living in England in 2002
-Robert’s observation that, unlike New York City, movies and pictures fail to capture London’s unique vibe
-The Cool Britannia era, the 2000s show Skins, and why Tony Blair was “the dodgiest guy ever”
-Why there is nothing more liberating than accepting that it is too late regarding White demographic decline
-The total failure of Trump and right-wing politics overall
-How both America and the UK were never truly cohesive nations
-How Anglos made a Faustian bargain to become a global culture while losing their own distinct identity
-Americans’ and Europeans’ lack of a deep understanding akin to Rome and Greece
-Why the ideal healthcare model would resemble Australia’s: public funding with private doctors
-How America’s class system is uniquely nasty because it pretends to be purely meritocratic
-Why John does not believe in equality of opportunity and instead prefers security for all classes
-How blank-slatism is used to justify income inequality
-How England has greater genetic differences by class, which makes nationalism difficult
-How America’s WASP elite were absolute traitors, worse than the British aristocracy
-“Cher Horowitz is an American aristocrat”
-Why John hates dominant alpha men
-How both the right and the left end up screwing over autistic men
-How John pronounces the term “massage” and why he thinks Robert’s love of ASMR head massage content is homoerotic
