[About the firing of public radio figures for sexual harassment]

How much of this is this clearing out elderly deadwood because there are younger people raring to move up

About 50%. The other 50% is score-settling for younger women (not really so young — GenXers actually) who are pissed off that putting out didn’t actually pay off.

I think the lesbians are encouraging them in this big time, but ultimately I don’t think that this will lead to lesbian cultural totalitarianism. Instead, it will result in the women becoming exhausted and demanding that their male peers step up to the plate and take over so they can finally have some guys who are suitable marriage material in their lives instead of creepy old married baby boomer guys.

Our girls are subconsciously leveling things. Good for them.

A lot of prime locations are totally wasted due to blacks.

South-Central LA is 44 square miles, right between Downtown and the beach. It is *prime*, as every other major part of LA is within 12 miles of the periphery of South-Central, if not for blacks.

Oakland is a superb suburb for San Francisco, right between SF and Berkeley. Alas, blacks have made it uninhabitable.

The Bronx, Newark, and Harlem section of Manhattan are all prime locations that are ruined.

Entire cities like Detroit, DC-Baltimore, the southern half of Chicago, most of urban Cleveland, etc. could all be great if not for blacks.

Anon is pretty close to the mark.

This charade plays to the autoeroticism at the heart of female sexuality. To be chased – to be an object of desire – gets women going. The higher status the pursuer, the more it satisfies this craving to be the object of interest. The “damsel in distress” part serves the same purpose. When people rush to comfort, console and show concern it further validates the need to be the center of attention.

Some of the best works of art are all about this aspect of the female heart.

So, essentially, this issue is insoluble in mixed sex environments. Where it doesn’t exist both men and women will do their best to create it. This is why, back in the bad old days, men and women more or less agreed to control different domains, and to exert a lot of cultural control (e.g. formal manners, laws, etc) over those where they overlapped.

Rand Paul isn’t that naive given his constituency. While he should really cool it with the “police oppress blacks” thing, because it isn’t true, he’s speaking to a lot of whites who are dealing with all of the downsides of police militarization with none of the benefits.

The fact is that democrats – including blacks – are the main beneficiaries of the police state, while it’s just another burden for working class and flyover whites. Sure, you need guys in bulletproof vests with ballistic shields and M-4 assault rifles busting into gangsters’ crackhouses to make urban neighborhoods livable, but you don’t need them breaking down doors and shooting the family dog in front of kids whose parents who grow a few pot plants in the garage. Also, you don’t need jumpy vets with PTSD gunning down mentally ill homeless people who aren’t coordinated enough to instantly obey police commands.

There’s a real disconnect here because white communities simply don’t need the same kind of policing as urban communities. I sympathize to some extent with whites who live in minority white areas like LA and NYC, but their stopgap policies just perpetuate the problem, and for most whites they are terribly oppressive. Yes, throwing tons of people in jail works. So does suiting up cops like special forces soldiers on a raid in Sadr City. But it’s a crappy society to live in, and it’s really a tax for the benefit of the Matt Yglesias crowd.

From what I understand, a lot of cops feel the same way, and would be happy to go back to the days when a whistle, a uniform and a shillelagh were enough for the job in the vast majority of cases.

The American left is indeed Maoist. That’s a very racially aggressive poster. Why not turn that racial aggression on its main proponents: the white billionaires who run this country, and those in California in particular?

We deplorables are a hard, meagre target. Well-armed, impecunious and irredeemable (according to the left). We also might not care if POC seize some beachside estates in Malibu and Marin County.

If we were really deplorable, what we’d do is agitate the Maoists into a frenzy in their breeding grounds, and turn them loose on their wealthy, liberal neighbors.

Morally, that sounds pretty bad, but one of these days some of our people are going to start asking “why not?” If the elites really hate us so much, then who are our real enemies? The aimless brown masses or their duplicitous would-be masters who want to use them to crush us? I think we’re starting to figure out the answer to that.

The qualities that make for effective leaders probably vary by the racial/ethnic composition of a society. East Asians are the product of a different evolutionary history. They obviously tend to high intelligence, high conformity, low violence and other traits that are conducive to success in our society. However they may also tend to be lower in other traits that are important in a Western society.

East Asians and Europeans have evolved largely separately for a long time. It is not surprising that they do not always mix well together. Altitude toward nepotism for example. It’s not really anybody’s fault. I probably wouldn’t do well as a member of a wolf-pack. That wouldn’t be my fault or the fault of the wolves. It’s just reality.

At any rate East Asians and whites get along a lot better than whites and blacks.

I’m a first / 1.5 generation Chinese immigrant in favor of affirmative action for URMs and feel that this was a good post, Razib. When I was younger, of course we were against AA and felt it was unfair. Especially since, where I grew up, Asians were on average poorer than African Americans and we got our butts kicked regularly by URMs.

This isn’t because I think it would be a good idea for the schools. I believe in expanding the pie, not shrinking it. Moreover, I think that sending our kids to state schools as opposed to the ‘Harvard or bust’ mentality can help boost the average of those state schools.

This is also for social stability, because developing a middleman minority group is an awful idea (c.f. Amy Chua’s book World on Fire). I was always told to remember the anti-Chinese pogroms throughout Southeast Asia.

I don’t know if Asian underrepresentation in the Ivy Leagues and upper echelons of society is really due to ‘character’ and leadership skills, but whether or not the general public sees itself reflected in the Asian leaders.

Anthropologically, tribes look for leaders that are culturally similar to them. Note the uproar over Obama’s election not just among whites, but also among blacks who did not view him as authentically African American because he is of recent immigrant descent.

Although the yellow / brown peril stereotype is there, there is no ‘firm’ color bar as long as the underlying culture is strong enough. Mixed race celebrities Chrissy Teigen, Nicki Minaj (who is Indo-Trinidadian) and Keanu Reeves are accepted as ‘local’ and neither of them look pure African or European.

This is related to something Josh Harkinson at Mother Jones pointed out recently: Asians are far underrepresented in top management in relation to their representation among rank and file workers, especially in technical positions, in Silicon Valley. This is well known. People make all sorts of excuses for this. For example, a large number of the Asians are immigrants to the children of immigrants, who may not have the “social capital” to be successful in management at an American firm.

For me, here’s the upshot: we just need to be honest. Perhaps the cultural skills and dispositions that Asian Americans bring to the labor force are naturally more amenable to technical positions and professions like medicine than they are to management. It may not be as much discrimination, even of the implicit sort, as opposed to the natural sorting of personality types. This is an option we may need to entertain, rather than assuming that it is all invidious discrimination. It does strike me as obvious that Harvard and other Ivy League schools are attempting to racially balance by putting their fingers on the admission knobs in just the perfect manner. Though I’m not particularly happy about this, being transparent and honest would at least allow us to address what’s going on, and wonder whether we should do something about it. The fact is that Asian Americans are doing relatively well, even if their proportion at Harvard is 20% instead of 40%. Do we as a society need to abolish all discrimination by any means necessary? I’d say no.

I suppose I should take solace that the enemy has bad intelligence, Its still disturbing though how they always reach the conclusions they want and are so clueless.
Its hard to define the alt right because the media hysterics and cluelessness led a lot of non cuckservative and cuck lite people to think it was they who were meant by alt right. And before that the White nationalists and neonazis had slid in under the altright brand as a remake.Then theres quite a lot of non cucked right who are clear they are not alt right but the left will insist are because they actually think anyone to the right of, Che? is a nazi, well who knows it changes so fast. These would include the paleos, the teas the BB, the neoreactionaries, and others.

Whats going on is simple, Liberalism is at the end of the road.Its ridiculous absurd. Its been creating ever more bizarre reasons why it never works as predicted for decades,centuries.While many wise people even hundreds of years ago could see the inherent evil, it took this long for it to get to the point even some kid on the street will declare the empire has no clothes.Liberalism is not only very explicit about its intentions to genocide whites, its begun to eat its own. Its lost all discipline, and cant help constantly exposing its genocidal tendencies.
Worse its all happening while other trends are working against it. there debt thats so absurd it cant even be rationally conceived, as a result of the liar loans to make minorities equal through free houses theres now and the subsequent crash and QE theres not a quadrillion in credit default swaps out there more than ten times the amount that caused the crash.The internet shorted out the lefts stranglehold on thought and now they are reduced to stalinist suppression tactics, immigration mostly illegal or quasi illegal throughout the white world has been so absurdly bad in every single possible way its become crystal clear that was the design, its also clear the left and global corporatists have merged, while this may have had strategic advantages its optics work against the lefts marketing, and this is a huge problem the left is increasingly exposed as a naked grab for power by any means possible. its constantly in alliances and positions that are illiberal, whether championing islam, enforcing speech codes, having its largest power brokers be the billionaire class, and opposing democratic self determination like Brexit,Catalan,Trump,Scotland etc.
And its very foundations are being rocked by reality.Democracy is increasingly shown to be more like a cultural quirk than the end of history.The all men are created equal expansion has come up against the reality the certainly are not.To keep the truth from coming out on that and all sorts of supposed truths science has been whored out to such shocking extents that besides it being taken about as seriously as fake news its increasingly alienated scientists who for now try to keep their heads down to eat but are seething in many quarters at the commie humiliation tactics. This of course is just another undermining factor in the lefts always dubious claim to be the side of reason.
Leftism was bound to be tried, enough things had not caught up to new information that reasonable people thought perhaps; perhaps black people oughtn’t be slaves, perhaps they could be cultivated to the standard of the whites, perhaps women needn’t be under men’s authority, perhaps every stupid person with a pulse ought to be allowed an equal voice in the decisions of a nation, perhaps its wise to discard thousands of years of human wisdom and wing it, perhaps nations needn’t be ethnically homogenous, perhaps a secularized christianity will work better,and thousands of other experiments.
Every last scrap of it has by now been proved patently untrue so many times and then retried and failed so many times its a joke,

Groups and teams are very different. In teams, each individual has a specific job, like parts in a machine. Groups are more like herds that form a sort of unified consciousness wherein individuality is subsumed.

Men do teams better, while women are more group oriented. In teams, individual IQ/talent is salient, because a team is only as strong as its weakest part. In groups, it doesn’t matter so much because the group’s strength is based on numbers.

If you think about it in a hunter gatherer context this is an important distinction. Say the men are going hunting, and they consist of a bowman with great eyesight and good aim, a young, agile runner to harry and flush out the game, a big, strong man to spear/finish off larger, more dangerous game, and leading the team a wise, older hunter with decades of experience who knows the animal behavior, territory and seasons better than anyone else.

In this scenario the team is greater than the sum of its parts, because alone none of the hunters could bag a large animal like a moose, and alone none could have access to a wide variety of game. Even the loss of one member would cripple the team, because each plays an important role. Combined into a game killing team/machine, they increase the amount of meat bagged per hunter and decrease the likelihood of a serious injury.

Meanwhile the women are foraging for roots and berries in a meadow. Young and old, short and tall, fast and slow, stupid and smart all together doing the same thing. The individual distinctions matter little. What is important is that everyone is on the same page, singing the same note. Often, they are in fact singing together as they work. If individuality disrupts this harmony, it must be suppressed. If one individual has to be cast out, it doesn’t matter much because the group’s effectiveness lies in unity and cohesion.

The group can gather more food because it suppresses individuality, which would only result in squabbling, hostility and disruption of workflow.

Hence we can envision the origins of human division of labor by sex, the roots of which are deeper in time than the emergence of our species.

This is entirely about white elites’ moral justification for keeping a boot on the neck of the little people. If they can absolve themselves of any responsibility for the plight of their lessers, e.g. the White Death, then life is so much easier and more comfortable. If they can blame the troubles of all colored people on badwhites, all the better!

There’s really no plan. It’s just the same old “you work, I eat” sentiment that has plagued humanity from the beginning.

But eventually, and it won’t take long, this will stop working. More and more goodwhites will be forced into badwhite status as they are thrust into competition with minorities, find themselves ineligible for nice positions, taste real poverty, etc. Also, outer party goodwhites are under so much pressure to maintain the lifestyle that allows them to don the mantle of goodness that they are practically infertile.

If demographics is destiny, then white demographics is white destiny. White America will be noticeably different in a generation, and my bet is that it won’t be to the advantage of the current elites.

I’ll happily argue for it. I should have been educated in single sex classrooms. You know what it’s like to be a 17yo boy with a hot girl wearing a tank top and tight shorts sitting a few feet in front of you suggestively twirling her hair with her finger? Do you think that kind of environment is conducive to paying attention to what the teacher is saying?

Boys who actually have balls are poorly served in mixed-sex learning environments, and for more reasons than the very important one I referred to above.

People who “don’t want to be bothered” by children are the most controlling of all. They want to banish children from public space, they do their utmost to divert resources away from children toward themselves, they invariably support killing children in the womb, they always support overregulation of parenting, and then they expect the children they hate to pay to fund their “well-deserved” retirement.

I am teaching my children about these people, so that as adults they can make informed decisions about who deserves to share in the fruits of their labor.

My opinion was that Bernie was wanting to get away from a minority alright, the Jews.

There were over 2.5 million of them in New York in the mid 50s. He married Deborah Shiling in 1964, the daughter of the head of surgery at Mt Sinai, another Jewish girl. She was probably another Jew that wanted to break free of the mold. And they moved into the house together. Maybe the money came from her parents. They divorced after 18 months. She still lives in Vermont and is very much the Jewish Vermont organic Birkenstock liberal. I imagine Bernie was sort of Jewish beta, sort of small and short, and he sexually bored the crap out of Debbie. In many pics, Bernie looks like a Woody Allen Nebbish guy during that period. One account says they never really stayed at the “sugar shack” much but they “traveled through Europe as the Vietnam war was heating up.” Again, the money for that must have come from the wife’s family. Maybe they were sort of down on Bernie’s prospects and talked a lot of crap about him to their daughter. By 1968, it was done and over and she had a new guy and she “bought out Bernie’s share of the property”.

I would say Sanders is very much like a character from a Philip Roth novel, one of the Jews that is a little annoyed with being Jewish, that wants to be like everybody else, and went all 60s, rejecting standard Jewish American life of being a dentist, marrying a nice Jewish girl, moving to Great Neck. That was the motivation for so many Jews to have embraced Socialism, to rip down the prevailing power structure so they could “be a man on the street and a Jew in the home.” Sort of self-loathing Jew.

I agree with your second point (about overpopoluation) entirely, though Anna Eshoo (D – Assyria) passionately disagrees. Notwithstanding the overpopulation, though, white women are increasingly failing to bear even two children (replacement-rates). I hypothesise (and you may agree) that part of the trouble here is that we whites are like angel fish: just as they only grow as large as their aquariums will comfortably allow, we seem to reproduce only up to a sustainable level, whereas the brown peoples of the world breed like unchecked deer or lemmings, until they destroy their very habitats. Here again, you are right: that perverse behavior would be fine, if we sensibly confined them to destroying their lands and facing the consequences, rather than blithely inviting them to move along to destroying ours as well.

We do need to address the issue of white-on-white hatred. Why do white gentile elites hate white people so much? More importantly, why do a majority of white gentiles want to destroy their own civilisation? How to explain the determination of the Swedes, the Germans, the French, to destroy themselves?
In fact there is an explanation. It has nothing whatever to do with race. What we’re seeing is pure class hatred. The hatred of upper-class and middle-class urban whites for working-class and rural whites.

Four IQ points sounds about right to me. For white people, that is.

I’m pretty sure that whites are more sexually dimorphic intellectually speaking than Asians. Check the SAT scores by race and gender, then look at whites and orientals, and you’ll see that white women fall significantly behind oriental women whereas white men and oriental men are pretty close.

A significant portion of the white/oriental achievement test gap can be accounted for by lower white female scores.

I just want my daughter to marry a healthy guy with a good work ethic and a kind heart. Preferably good looking and athletic, too. I’m not so sure she’d find that at MIT or Caltech. Or the Ivies, for that matter. I want vigorous, bouncing grandkids someday, but I shudder at the thought of what she might bring back from those places.

No, I’d rather she spends time with earnest white jocks who like hunting, hiking and fishing in their spare time.

On another note, there are too many dogs out there already. They literally chase children out of playgrounds in cities like San Francisco and Seattle, while their owners openly blame the kids for “provoking” them. I personally wouldn’t have much problem with a culling of the dogs, if done humanely of course.

A bullet costs a few cents, and is a lot more humane than dragging the animal off to be held down and stabbed with a needle in a terrifying place. “Putting them to sleep” is a really misleading euphemism. Why not just be a man and shoot them? I know it’s hard for the owner, but it’s much better for the pet. People are such cowards these days that they’d rather other living beings go through pain than suffer a pinprick to their own conscience.

Feminist writing is one of the most horribly brutal assaults on the English language that ever came out of academia. It makes legalese sound like fine poetry in comparison.

I suspect that a lot of the rage comes from the fact that feminists tend to have an inability to think objectively, hence their constant attacks on objectivity. I don’t think it’s just willful solipsism; it’s a real mental disability (in an academic setting at least). Universities were founded on the masculine ideal of objective thought, so feminists have a permanent outsider status no matter how many jobs they get at universities. Therefore, they can only “deconstruct” (i.e. destroy) the foundations of Western scholarship. Hence the belligerent language and failure to contribute anything meaningful at all.

I really don’t think we’ll be able to restore our standards without re-segregating universities by sex. Maybe somebody can leverage the campus rape hysteria for just that purpose, although I’m not hopeful.

It’s Title IX. Colleges can’t afford unknown quantity poor boys anymore because they have to subsidize girls’ sports as per Obama’s gender feminist appointees’ diktats. That is the only thing that could explain this precipitous drop during the Obama administration.

I expect that in the not too distant future the Chinese will again commence the old rituals, offer sacrifices and reestablish the traditional state religion, or some version of it.

[On the film "Get Out"]

They’re jumping the gun here. There are still a lot of white women in America, and they are still highly influential.

I predicted – and didn’t take much mental effort – that feminism would decline as race became more important years ago. The silly men vs. women charade of the last four decades was the result of a civilization with nothing better to do. Well, those days are drawing to a close, and women probably know it better than anyone. Hence this film that panders to racial hostility and slaps the erstwhile white sistahs across the face.

White women never should have been as intimately involved with black issues as they have been since Eleanor Roosevelt (maybe even Harriet Beecher Stowe), but being tolerant, ever-patient American men we have always indulged them. Big mistake, and of course we’ll be blamed for the inevitable result, which will be pretty grim for whites and blacks alike.

This is precisely why I am opposed to continued Chinese immigration to the West, because more than anything else I want to preserve the cultural and racial patrimony of my forefathers rather than throwing it away in a slow inevitable demographic death. It is also why the Communist Party’s overthrow is so vital so that a racially conscious government can take it’s place and mold the Chinese for our continued survival. The Cultural Revolution instructed all Chinese to smash authority, that type of state influenced movement can also be used to turn the Chinese into the perfect racists rather than revolutionaries.

Let’s calm down, it’s not a Chinese age. The same things were said about Japan, and where are they now? They all returned to Japan, because the men couldn’t cut it. Japan has no sense of exploring the world, despite being one of the most intelligent, dominant races ever. Even today, the Japanese will stay in Japan, rather than have to take a single risk with their lives on the rest of the planet. Their women eventually outmarried at 70% the last I checked, and today they are the least likely to intramarry and have kids. The same is happening to Chinese, but they’re just 2 generations behind.

The Chinese are even lower on Maslow’s hierarchy ladder. They’re concerns are primitive, or at most about looking rich and status hunting. They will buy anything European or American. Their men have no greater cause. They have no sense of self-actualization. Their young men are mostly concerned with obedience or notice the lack of sex available to them, and are incapable of thinking beyond that. They will do nothing more than make some good money, have 1 or 2 kids, and hang out at the golf course or have goals of having sex with a white girl.

Look at the streets, nightclubs and bars of NYC. Their men and women have no self-esteem, and it shows in their dating and marrying habits. Despite having the highest IQ, East Asians are willing to take away their offsprings’ IQ advantage, so they can be less Asian. Even if they have kids, most East Asians have 2 kids maximum. When’s the last time you’ve seen a proud 2nd generation East Asian father with 5 kids? Probably never.

They take their 1 or 2 kids and take them for tennis and piano lessons, so they can show other Asians how cultured their kids are. East Asians have the highest overall IQ, especially in mathematical areas of the brain. They are also the least likely race prone to disease and aging. When they mix, their children are less intelligent and less healthy on average, but still smarter and healthier than whites. However, if you talk with young East Asians, it’s abundantly clear they’re willing to trade it for height and becoming more white, no matter how they rationalize. Imagine if 70% of white girls all wanted to become black, despite black culture. That’s what East Asians do.

So they dress their kids in clothes as if they’re cute dogs and spend way too investment, because they’re in denial about nature vs nurture just like educated white liberals. For a scientific people, they have a blind spot when it comes to genetics and it’s overwhelming role over nature in IQ and life success.

Instead they have the Amy Chua mindset, and they try to mold their perfect one or two Asian kids through being the “perfect parent”. Also, Asian women are have a tremendous reputation for interracial sex and out-marriage. Again, how independent thinking can Asians be? They have 1.5 kids each, and half that time it’s with a non-Asian. None of them notice that white IQ > mixed white/black IQ > black IQ. Even with the highest IQs, Asian women make kids with lesser IQ races more than they make Asian kids. And Asian men honestly do not care. None of them want kids. They’d rather become robots or spend 1000 hours on a video game. They’re intelligent, but don’t seem to have metacognition.

The is where Jews or intelligent whites have done a vastly better job than East Asians. We all know you should have multiple children, and you must encourage rhetorical skills along with a logical understand of mathematical concepts, rather than memorization, repetition and application. The children learn to discuss adult topics and offer their opinion with their parents. You encourage them to offer opinions, listen and debate. Teach them to develop habits to self-determination and self-actualization. They learn to make decisions, and as a parent you set the guideline. You accept that your child could fail, but you also have many more of them. Your value as a parent is your emotional support. Your self-esteem isn’t dependent on your child’s success to the degree it is for East Asians. And it always helps that you didn’t just have 1 or 2 kids, just so you could live in a nicer house with a nicer car at a nicer vacation spot. You shun aside materialism and build a family instead.

Even ghetto black men are wise enough to know they should have alot of children. They simply lack the moral compass or the proper education to raise them. Their concerns are about on how people hate blacks, rather than correcting their own mistakes. Hispanics are actually stronger in a sense they have men who take risks, women who have pride, and for all their faults and lower IQ, they value big families. They have their share of idiots, but they are the single group that has taken over more parts of the cities, more politicians, and have more children.

Asians are stereotypically lone wolves and take a perverse pride in that. If one East Asian is having a tough time, another one will not be there to help. They abandon each other faster than any other race. Their social scenes are about one-up manship status. They will discuss their prestigious academic record, company position, or income and wealth. Maybe she will introduce her Jewish boyfriend to you, as if she’s won the lottery. He will unconvincingly brag about some machismo anecdote, which highlights his insecurities. It’s a bore.

So despite their overall population today, as long as this trend continues, East Asians will go extinct before whites. You cannot argue with the fact that their women don’t like their men, and their men have no goals of fathering many children like their great ancestors. You can go to any college and white collar workplace. East Asian women are all single and overworked. Most of them are with non-Asian men. East Asian men are mostly concerned with studying, video games, making money, and maybe meeting some nice girl to have 1 or 2 kids with. This includes the American raised ones. Look to the Japanese as the precedent.

If any group of Asians will be successful, it will be South Asians. The Brahmin Indians are the most intelligent and successful race in the US. Many speak English, the lingua franca, before coming to America. They win all the spelling bees, because they are highly linguistically developed. That’s why they have such incredibly long names. Look at the lists for top successful men under 40 in any business magazine. It’s Indians. Look at the highest median income, other than Jews, it’s Indians. East Asians are low risk shame cultures, and they bring that same sense of conformity here, from the bedroom to the boardroom. They have no sense of Asian identity that they want to develop and pass on through parenthood fatherhood. They want to adapt in, and will behave like liberal whites. They are horrendously uneducated about genetics and IQ, and refuse to learn about it because it is not politically correct as liberals inform them. This works because of their shame culture, and shame only works if you are prone to conformity. It’s why East Asian women are the least race loyal. They conform quickly to whomever is in power with little self-awareness and zero conviction. They’d have to be an independent thinking race to do otherwise.

There are only 2 types of Asian Americans, rotten bananas (Asian Wiggers) and nerds. There is not a lot of diversity in the Asian American community when it comes to different types of personalities.

Northern European gender equality is a myth supported by the great indulgence shown to Nordic women. Feminine weakness and foibles are tolerated in Scandinavia to a degree that would seem absurd to Asians or Africans. Scandinavian women’s participation at the highest levels is possible because of the extreme deference shown to women in these countries, which would be unthinkable in the rest of the world. I’d argue that this demonstrates higher levels of sexual dimorphism: if women were really treated “equally” then they would be marginalized as they are in most of the world.

I still can’t believe it. I just hope he doesn’t forget San Jose and what those people did to his supporters. Or any of the other arrogant cities, universities, corporations and other “progressive” institutions across the US. It’s time for some justice.

"Is the DNC leadership really this inept, or is something really scary about to happen?"

Of course something scary is going to happen. We are going to get screwed like the Russians did when the USSR fell apart. Hillary Clinton is the oligarch candidate, and her supporters are going to loot us like we’ve never been looted in our lifetimes.

When someone as obviously sick and incapable as Hillary is being full-on supported by the elite, what it means is that the elite doesn’t want that person to govern. They want to install their people in all key positions of influence and have their way with the country while Hillary is out of commission.

1830 is not all that long after the French Revolution, in which the very French idea of chivalry died a quick death. Prior to the revolution, French men were sometimes murdered for as little as questioning the honor of ladies.

De Tocqueville seems to have had sentimental feelings about chivalry, as a lot of French did in his day. Perhaps he saw how some of the old honor codes remained in America, in the South in particular, and found this favorable in comparison to his much changed homeland.

Women’s security and liberty may be a reasonable goal, but when it is enforced with such ferocity men eventually rebel, and for good reason: they often find themselves subjects of the women being “protected,” and a woman in authority can be a terrible tyrant to men (not to mention her children).

By the way, chivalry – including the female-worshipping part – was partly borrowed from Muslims during the Crusades. Even today Muslims honestly think they honor Muslim women much more than we do our own.

I don’t think there are really that many Bernie Bros. The Democrats wrote them off from the beginning. Do the math: the combined women + minority vote is a pretty good bet.

But I do think a lot of young white male Bernie supporters will vote Trump. It just probably won’t be enough.

I honestly think we’re heading toward some kind of violent civil conflict. I expect the minorities to start it, because they are unsatisfied with the incremental pace of white dispossession and because the federal/media apparatus is mainly geared toward suppressing white proles, who can’t really stand up to it.

We need a philosophical basis for communities that can survive and thrive in the modern world. And religious, too, but that goes without saying. We can look back at the last century and clearly identify the failures, such as fascism, Christianity, communism, capitalism and the various New Age cults, and we often do, but it seems to me that precious few people these days are actually putting in the effort to find a solution to the ongoing destruction of community.

A solution is badly needed, and as much as I like the academic and intellectually stimulating discussions on sites like this one, I sometimes see them as a distraction from what a lot of readers would likely agree is a critically important issue.

“free from domestic violence” with a clip of a dismembered female mannequin.

Quite a naked appeal to the women’s vote there. Could Trump pull that off today without an ad highlighting Muslim mass sexual assaults?

Personally, I think gendered politics is passing from the scene. Racial politics is – relatively speaking – more important than it was in 1968, despite what people might think about our “progress.”

So many decry tribalism today, but it’s just about all people have left, and that’s why it’s coming back with a vengeance. We are not all 7 billion people living in harmony, because that’s impossible. It’s in defiance of God, if you’re a believer in religion, or human nature, if you’re honest about our species. Probably both I think. Better to hedge your bets about these matters.

Similarly, East Asians are protected against all kinds of environmental and mutational “attacks” that would normally destroy other people, intellectually, but this special blessing means that they will also tend to be under-represented among the most original human intellects. This solves one of the stronger challenges raised against the Unzian Asian Exception conjecture, asking why it was not East Asians who produced the greatest epochs of human intellectual achievements in history if it is true that their average IQs have consistently been stubbornly high for most of modern human history. It would be because the same canalization that protected them from low intelligence also “protected” them from producing the numbers of super-creative intellects that would be required for such revolutionary achievements in a concentrated period of time. They have a small creative smart fraction, in short.

This differential canalization theory is certainly more plausible than the existing models given by many hereditarians to explain why East Asians have a high average IQ. For example, the idea that East Asians were selected for intellectual novelty because they faced a very challenging environment has one obvious problem that somehow escapes the analyses of most hereditarians: if they were really selected for their ability to find novel solutions to problems, that should probably be the characteristic that distinguishes them the most even today. And yet the same hereditarians admit the conspicuous paucity of highly significant originators and innovators among East Asians, despite showing over-representation in high intellectual aptitude, sometimes very precociously so. East Asian women, who have the highest canalization coming from gender and race, are the most exemplary of this contrast. The shortage of such super-creative phenotypes can not be because they lack the numbers of people with the right genotype, but because the genotype is “buffered” from phenotypic expression by canalization.

As for Asians, I’d be interested to see if their lack of boredom means they have entire populations that are farther out on the Asperger’s scale than Westerners. They seem to have less empathy for other people than Westerners, and can be mind-bogglingly brutal to each other in a way that’s very aspy. They also can be utterly focused on boring stuff–especially if it’s visual-spacial work–in a manner that’s not Western. That’s also an aspy trait. Some people call Aspergers’ the disorder of ‘too much male brain,’ and it makes sense in the case of Asians.

We used to have a large agricultural labor force in America for hundreds of years, even after the abolition of slavery – they were called Negroes. Then we put most of them on welfare. Not only did this pay better than farm labor, but they got out of the habit of doing menial labor. The women, especially, grew enormously obese due to generous food stamp benefits so they couldn’t do manual labor anymore even if they wanted to, which they don’t. If we hadn’t spoiled our Negroes they would still be out there working, if their other choice was starving. So first, thru generous welfare benefits, we created one problem (lack of agricultural workers) and then created another problem (millions of aliens who will never make good Americans) to fix the first problem. This is like giving yourself malaria to cure your syphilis. Most Mexicans are fine hard working people (at least the first generation before they learn how to be low class Americans with all the bad habits that implies) but they should be fine people in Mexico, not here.

No. I’m not even sure the term has any value.

Reactionaries are elites trying to hold onto or restore their privileges and power. What are usually called neoreactionaries are typically members of the subdued yeomanry trying to resist elite consolidation of power.

It’s just another example of doublespeak.

Seeing the desperation of so many middle-aged women out in flyover country has opened my eyes and humbled me. It’s very sad. These are really harmless, vulnerable people, and they’ve been roughed up by this free movement of capital and labor something awful. Charles Murray likes to blame this on the guys who supposedly won’t support them, but in my circles the women totally depend on the men and have little to offer in return. If anything really separates the white working class from the upper middle class it’s the incomes (and, unfortunately, the behavior) of the women in the respective positions. Blue collar working men are no slouches, they make decent money and in person they’re generally more impressive than their office-dwelling counterparts (this is probably a hidden aspect of Trump’s support — he has these guys behind him, and if he can get a few thousand of them to show up in one place, it’s going to seriously intimidate rivals). The women, well, they screw up a lot and have to be rescued over and over. They get a good job and are about ten times as likely to ditch it and try to file a lawsuit. The guys are always pulling them up and out of ditches they run into. The white death, IMO, is a measure of the disposable income of the men in any given community (if you check the census data I can all but guarantee that there’s a strong correlation there). The less they have, the less they can afford to help out the women around them, who somehow always seem to need help.

We are on the cusp of another spiritual cataclysm, and the vast majority of our conservative commentators have opted out of the game. To do what? Leave it to Pope Francis and the liberals? Leave it to the Muslims? The left-nihilists?

There’s no spiritual response from the West to what’s happening. It’s like a total surrender. What are we supposed to rally behind Ted Cruz who’ll fix it all by fighting Russia for Israel (or whatever other psychotic, non-sequitur garbage he comes up with)?

Islam is the most democratic of all the Abrahamic faiths. This point is lost on the Ross Douthats of the world. Christianity is fundamentally aristocratic, yet it has totally abdicated its throne.

So we are a people unmoored, without leadership, living in a state of spiritual anarchy, ripe for the picking. If this doesn’t change, we’ll lose. We can’t throw facts and opinions at our enemies and hope that moves people’s hearts and souls. It’s a hopeless endeavor. Trump’s popularity stems from this yearning for conviction that’s been lost since the Berlin Wall fell down. Right or wrong, we need faith more than ever, and we neglect it to our peril and probable doom.

Does anyone besides me and a few other weirdos like Houellebecq even recognize this?

Bill P #fundie unz.com

Women have the vote. None of this will ever change as long as that’s the case. Women should never have been given the franchise, but perhaps that’s an inevitable characteristic of democracy: politicians endlessly expand the franchise until it’s meaningless.

Sounds harsh, but it’s reality. Makes me pretty angry to see Pope Francis paying lip service to feminism while keeping women out of authority in the Catholic Church. Abject hypocrisy. Make women priests and bishops and put them in charge of the Church and see how long it lasts!

Same goes for the elites. If I could craft a suitable punishment for them for what they’ve done to us, it would be to put their wives and lovers in a position of total supremacy over them and all their possessions. That’s what they’ve done to us, after all, to the severe detriment of our women and children I might add.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the primaries so far, but Trump is a few years too early and a few years too old. I’d like to see him win the nomination even if he goes on to lose the general, but maybe the phenomenon is good enough.

Our elites have been engineering their “orange revolutions,” their “springs” and their invasions and all that crap for a generation. Someday soon it will turn around on them. Trump’s success to this point will only embolden people. He’s broken the paradigm. Even if the wealthy republicans can put him in his place, there’s a real wellspring of dissent bubbling up that won’t be easily contained.

"Scott Tsuchitani is a smart guy. He has two master’s degrees in engineering already. He’s not getting his Ph.D. in cultural studies because that’s all he could do with his mind."

No, he’s doing it because he hates white people, and he wants to punish them through their children. A depressingly large proportion of educators fits that profile.

Interesting that you had a change of heart in the 90s. So did I. Even though I think you have about 15 years on me, I noticed the same trend, and it was a real disappointment. My dad’s family were urban New Deal Democrats, so I actually cast my first vote for Bill Clinton (I turned 18 shortly before the election), and was enthusiastic about his presidency. Boy was I disillusioned quickly.

Soon, I began to notice that I was the enemy. As a white kid from a working/middle class background, I was the enemy of the right, the left, and everyone with a public voice in between. I saw the same comics, movies and TV shows that all portrayed my people as the scum of the earth. You’d think that instead of building the greatest, most prosperous nation in history, making stunning advances in agriculture, medicine, aviation, science, industry, entertainment and countless other fields, we’d just starved and enslaved the world and set us all on the path to armageddon.

I’m not sure folks older than I am can fully appreciate what it was like to go from a patriotic childhood in which we openly and without reservation celebrated our heritage and patriotism to an atmosphere in which all of that was suddenly stamped out within less than a decade. It was really demoralizing.

Now, I have to tell my kids to hide their thoughts from their teachers, not to trust what authorities say, and to value themselves and their heritage despite what they are taught in school. I also have to tell them that a lot of people in the city won’t like them simply because of their ethnic background, and that they should not be surprised or shocked when they encounter racial hostility.

Perhaps the only silver lining to all of this is that the anti-racist whites, who are the most terrible of all (I really can’t blame others for promoting their ethnic interests — it’s a human thing to do after all), are not having kids in appreciable numbers, so for the most part my kids will grow up among peers with like-minded families. The number of liberal urban whites without children by age 40 is unprecedented. Aside from the heirs of the truly wealthy elite, who can afford as many children as they want (usually two), they are practically sterile.

"I don’t know what “feminism” as a “thought system” is, beyond the push for legal equality."

Feminism is collective bargaining in the sexual marketplace using women’s sexual power as leverage. It has nothing at all to do with “equality.” Feminists themselves are pretty explicit about this. Like organized labor, it’s already run into diminishing returns and is starting to lose ground as class and ethnic interests coalesce in our brave new multicultural country.

"I’d again adapt one of Steve’s useful neologisms — Low-Information people believe Obama is a Muslim, and there are a whole lot of Low Information Muslims. There is nothing to indicate Obama was ever a Muslim, at all. The best the allegers can come up with is left-wing boilerplate about “siding with Muslims if typical White bigots attack them”, etc."

In this case, I’d say that what you call “low-information people” have better instincts than you have information.

Islam, like Judaism, is heritable. If a Jewish woman’s child is a Jew, then the child of a Muslim man is a Muslim.

Why is it that everybody called Bobby Fischer a Jew despite his protests that he was not? Because his mother was Jewish. We accept that a Jew can be born a Jew but a Muslim cannot be born a Muslim? Ridiculous. Muslims are pretty specific about this. When taking female captives (only non-Muslims can be enslaved), a Muslim man is instructed not to have sex with them until they have had their period to be sure that he does not raise a heathen child as his own.

According to Muslims, one cannot unbecome a Muslim. One is a Muslim for life. If there is any dispute about this, it is settled with a trial for apostasy. If found guilty, the accused is to be put to death. Better dead than un-Muslimed, you see.

So Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim. To Muslims, there is no question about this. ISIS thinks he is an apostate and openly says so (I suspect this is why Obama honestly doesn’t like them), but a lot of other Muslims probably want to give him the benefit of the doubt, because, well, apostate is kind a harsh label because of that death penalty thing.

Daniel Pipes lays all doubt to rest.

The American idea that people choose their faith some time in early adulthood and can then exchange it at will throughout life is not the global norm. It isn’t even entirely the norm in the US. It’s a kind of mass delusion, really. Americans have this idea that their beliefs and customs came entirely from their own choices and free will, which is impossible and an absurd idea. But it’s a part of our own “religion,” so to speak. So when we argue about whether or not Obama is Muslim, it only displays our own curious creed as the global aberration that it is.
