Stand With Your "People"
The Phil Robertson controversy and life in general makes me think that we should have the mentality that we should be on permanent war footing - the culture war but in other respects as well.
Ilana Mercer poo-poos the show. Too low-brow for her tastes? Or grasping for reasons to be deliberately contrarian? I think Rod Dreher likes the show itself more, but I could be wrong. Is this a giant money-making scheme hatched by A&E and the Robertson Family? Or should we believe the family that the network deliberately set up a trap for Mr. Robertson and that the show didn't work out like it had planned (U.S.A. getting laughs from dumb hicks acting like dumb hicks)?
While his talk may lend itself to support of white nationalism, I think the principles that one should determine who is one's people (not necessarily based only on race) and act in solidarity with them are valid for "conservative" Americans.
Jack Donovan, Becoming the New Barbarians:
Of course, traditional conservatives may prefer to see themselves as the civilized defending and preserving civilization from the barbarians (the leftists) in our midst - the folks at Chronicles, Rod Dreher, and so on. It's a noble attitude, but nonetheless we still need males who are willing to be men and do what men do for themselves and their group.
Meanwhile the Lefties continue to push their own brand of social engineering (that is, formation or paideia), in the name of deconstructionism: There's Something Absolutely Wrong With What We Do To Boys Before They Grow Into Men
Edit. A&E Welcomes Phil Robertson Back to 'Duck Dynasty'

Jack Donovan, Becoming the New Barbarians:
As America declines and becomes a failed or failing state, the corporations and businessmen and bureaucrats who run it will continue to preach globalism and multiculturalism and feminism.
They will continue to condemn anything that could be considered racism or tribalism—especially among whites—until they are safely in the minority. They will continue to condemn “male sexism” and continue to promote any kind of go-girl female sexism that emasculates or devalues men. They will continue to promote reverence for their own academic priest class while condemning as “extreme” any religious belief that challenges the moral authority of progressive beliefs. They will continue to promote dependence on the State for security and income and healthcare—for life itself.

Without an abundant of ease, comfort, and food made possible by cheap energy, would the modern nation-state be as stable as it seems to be? One of its goals is the pacification of the populace by satisfying their appetites. But another goal is the removal of political liberty and participation, along with the suppression of masculine agency, as these are potential threats to the state.
