How to lose weight

When a high status person shows status insecurity, you can gain status by insulting him and by desecrating what is holy to him. Smash his icons to steal his status. Eating meat, salt and fat insults our ruling priesthood and our ruling religion, and desecrates what is holy to them.

Real men eat meat and fat, and salt the hell out of it.

The holy campaign against saturated fat never had any scientific basis whatsoever. It was always official science – peer reviewers meeting behind closed doors to tell mere observers what they should observe and poison the scientific literature. It was entirely motivated by instinctive irrational gut hostility against masculinity, just as the holy Global Warming campaign is motivated by gut hostility to technological civilization, hatred of what white people have created. (Also they needed an excuse to stick it to those coal miners in flyover country, and global warming gives them a rationale to make those that they hate and despise suffer.)

When my wife got sick, I was too busy looking after her to sleep with other women, so I stopped bothering about my weight, and since I was cooking and feeding her, there was always food in front of me tempting me, with the result that I developed a striking resemblance to Jabba the Hut. When she died, I set about replacing her, and God, it was brutal – well, it was always brutal, but what with being older and considerably fatter, it was even more brutal. So I set about losing weight on a high fat, moderately low carb, paleo diet, with regular fasting, running, and lifting iron. I now wear size S (small) pants, and size L (large) shirts and jackets. I have lost 38 kilos, and now dating is somewhat less brutal.

My diet is 60% fat by calorie, 20% protein by calorie, 20% carbs by calorie. Switching away from carbs is tough, a full ketogenic diet (75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs) gives you the keto flue until you are fully withdrawn from carbs, but even a moderate carb diet like mine is kind of harsh at first.

Fat makes you full. Carbs make you hungry.

It is not calories in calories out that makes you fat. It is insulin that makes you fat, causes heart attacks, high blood pressure, etc. Type one diabetics don’t get fat except that they take insulin. Snacking, and especially snacking food containing carbs, keeps your insulin continually high, and causes you to become addicted to high insulin.

All addictive foods contain substantial amounts of carbs. They are a manifestation of insulin addiction, and high insulin tolerance. I cannot eat just one potato chip, or one slice of pizza, or drink just one glass of ice cold Mountain Dew. I keep going till it is all gone. But I like pork crackling even more than I like pizza, and yet I can easily eat an appropriate amount of pork crackling, and then stop. It is carbs that cause uncontrollable eating. Even fruit if you eat too much of it. Broccoli with cheese sauce is easier to control. Avocados are easier to control than watermelon. Not that I can entirely give up watermelon, but if I eat too much of it, I will then eat even more of it.

On a moderate carb diet, you need sodium, potassium, magnesium, and zinc. You really need to watch your electrolytes on a full ketogenic diet, but even on a moderately low carb diet it is an issue. Leafy greens help. Broccoli with cheese, Chinese cabbage with butter and chicken broth. Butter fried mushrooms.

Most of my calories come from pork, bacon, butter, lots of butter, eggs, and more butter. I liberally salt my meat, and drink lots of coffee and cold water.

Salt will raise your blood pressure, but only if you have dangerously high levels of insulin, which most Americans do. I salt the hell out of my meat and add fish sauce to everything. My blood pressure has dropped to healthy levels, my cholesterol and lipid profiles, which used to look pretty bad, now look great. To get adequate potassium and suchlike I eat brocolli and cabbage covered in hot melted cheese, mushrooms fried in butter, raw tomatoes, tomatoes cooked in butter, and raw tomatoes covered with my buttery substitute for gravy and mayo.

I also have testosterone replacement therapy, and control my estrogen levels to healthy normal male levels. Since we invented clothing, no one gets enough vitamin D3 any more, so I have 2000 units of Vitamin D3 every morning. And, of course, run, and lift iron. Hate running, don’t run very far, but I run hard for the very short distances that I do run.

But the trouble is that gravy is wheat based, thus non paleo. And what is meat without lots of salty gravy? Also, on a high fat, moderately low carb diet, I never get enough fiber, so I don’t want to eat any carbs except in the form of fruit and vegetables,

Fats make you full, carbs make you hungry. All highly addictive foods contain substantial carbs, so regular gravy on meat results in uncontrollable overeating.

So this is my substitute for gravy: Take the meat juices. If I don’t have enough meat juices, some broth. Add some whole eggs, a bit of mustard, some vinegar, maybe some strong hot coffee, maybe some steamed garlic, some turmeric, and some chilis. Lots of chilis, lots of fish sauce. Toss in the blender and let the blender whip it till it gets hot. Add butter, till the mix is about fifty percent meat juices, eggs, and chilis, and fifty percent meat fat and butter. Maybe some steamed parsley to make it different from time to time. I never make it the same twice. Keep going till the temperature reaches sixty five centigrade or so to make sure the eggs are pasteurized. Make sure it has enough salt. Always needs more salt than I expect. Slosh liberally over the meat, into coffee, over tomatoes, etc.

It is sort of gravy – hollandaise sauce – mayonnaise – redeye gravy. Hollandaise sauce is hot mayonnaise made with butter rather than vegetable oil. Gravy is meat juice and fat that you mix using flour to make water and oil miscible. Hollandaise and mayonnaise uses eggs and vinegar to make them miscible. Southern redeye gravy uses coffee to make the fat and meat broth miscible. So this is gravy with eggs, vinegar, and perhaps coffee to make the butter, fat and meat juice miscible.

There is something just more manly about eating bacon, roast pork crackling, and suchlike. Perhaps it is irrational to think that, but the same irrationality resulted in the government and the medical profession poisoning Americans. Anything that pisses them off is good. Chicks like badboys, and this is another little bit of badness.

    What is atherosclerosis and why does it happen? Blood vessels would seem like the stupidest possible place to store fat, yet arterial plaque is mostly fat, though it eventually absorbs enough calcium to turn bone-hard.

    I suppose this wasn’t a problem for our ancestors because recurring famines stripped their bodies of fat. Perhaps it’s more convenient to store fat in blood vessels for use in the near future, like piling up firewood in the hallways for a winter that in our case never comes. People who undertake a multi-week water-fast are often amazed at how young and vigorous they feel during and after.

    • jim says:

      No. Caused by permanent high insulin which shuts down fat transport permanently.

      As a result fat accumulates in various odd places where it is not supposed to accumulate.

      Test of this model is every simple. If you give insulin resistant people more insulin, they get more atherosclerosis.

      You are only designed for short bursts of high insulin, but snacking results in insulin addiction and permanent high insulin.

      • Cloudswrest says:

        For a VERY interesting lecture by veteran diabetes researcher Professor Roger Unger go here: https://youtu.be/VjQkqFSdDOc

        What he has shown is that the pathological effects of type-1 diabetes are due to runaway glucagon production (which is suppressed by insulin). Glucagon knockout mice, who then have their beta-cells destroyed, disabling all insulin production, appear to live perfectly normal lives, WITHOUT any exogenous insulin. People who have type-1 diabetes who don’t get enough exogenous insulin are rail thin and die from ketoacidosis caused by runaway glucagon production. The sugar regulating mechanism in the body is bi-polar. An insulin only model is uni-polar. Glucagon, produced by the alpha-cells in the pancreas, is the “anti-insulin”. It tells the liver to release sugar into the bloodstream, or if the liver has no glycogen available, start breaking down proteins to make sugar. It looks like cells don’t really need insulin to tell them to eat glucose. Insulin is a regulatory signal to lower blood sugar levels. What insulin is really saying to the cells is, “Please eat more sugar please, there’s too much in the bloodstream.” Most of your cells start to balk after awhile. The only cells that can take sugar indefinitely are fat cells, who turn it into fat obviously.

        Since the alpha cells and beta cells in the pancreas are in close proximity there is very high gain in the insulin/glucagon suppression feedback mechanism. There is much lower gain with exogenous insulin injections, which don’t suppress glucagon as well, since the alpha cells then just see systemic insulin concentrations, or if you increase the insulin injections then the fat cells get too much, which is partially why a lot of people who take insulin are fat. A lot of this info does not seem to have made it into the mainstream (as usual). The body makes it a high priority to keep sugar levels down because high blood sugar levels are corrosive to body tissue. See “Maillard Reaction”.

    • Pseudo-chrysostom says:

      The primary instigator of tissue calcification (such as in the brain, or the arteries, or other improper depositions)is a lack of vitamin K2; an essential factor in how the body processes calcium.

      K2 deficiency is endemic in the population, since dairy products (and eggs) were the primary source of K2 in the western diet, and dairy animals are no longer fed green leafy plant matter. Almost all green leafy plant matter is high in K1; humans have difficulty transforming ‘plant form’ K1 into ‘animal form’ K2, but herbivores like cows can easily transform K1 into K2.

      Secondary factors towards plaque formation is anti-oxident deficiency, most especially vitamin c deficiency (another nutrient humans do not systhesize natively [and which you really can’t get enough of for many different processes]).

      • Pseudo-chrysostom says:

        Side note, K2 deficiency also happened to be a primary factor in the cavity epidemic, leading to jewdoctors saying that right thinking community organizers concerned with the public health would need to fluoridate the populace by various to stop cavities.

        (Fluorine is one of the singlemost reactive elements in the whole periodic table; stories from the history of fluorine chemistry are legendary in their sheer entropic extravagance. It goes without saying then of course, that once inside the body it reacts and causes chains of reactions with all sorts of things; most pertinently, *reacting with calcium or other heavier elements to destructively bond with tissues in places you’d rather not*.)

    A lot of people worldwide are asking themselves right now: what the hell is wrong with America? Well, to all you non-Americans who just don’t grok the utter insanity that the US is in the midst of, read these excerpts.

    — — —

    Theodore Dreiser (1917):

    “As a fourteen or fifteen year old boy, I listened to sermons on hell, where it was, and what was the nature of its torments. As rewards for imaginary good behavior I have been given colored picture cards containing exact reproductions of heaven. Every newspaper that have ever read, or still can find to read, has had an exact code of morals, by the light of which one might detect at once both Mr. Bad Man and Mr. Good Man, and so save one’s self from the machinations of the former! The books which I was advised to read, and for the neglect of which I was frowned upon, were of that naive character known as pure. One should read only good books—which meant, of course, books from which any reference to sex had been eliminated; and what followed as a natural consequence was that all intelligent interpretation of character and human nature was immediately discounted.

    A picture of a nude or partially nude woman was sinful. A statue equally so. The dance in our home and our town was taboo. The theater was an institution which led to crime. The saloon a center of low, even bestial, vices. The existence of such a thing as an erring or fallen woman, let alone a house of prostitution, was a crime, hardly a fact to be considered. There were forms and social appearances which we were taught to wear, quite as one wears a suit of clothes. One had to go to church on Sunday whether one wanted to or not.

    We were taught persistently to shun most human experiences as either dangerous or degrading or destructive. The less you knew about life the better. The more you knew about the fictional heaven and hell, the same. People walked in a form of sanctified maze or dream, hypnotized or self hypnotized by an erratic and impossible theory of human conduct, which had grown up heaven knows where or how, and had finally cast it amethystine spell over all America, if not over all the world.

    Positively, I stake my solemn word on this, until I was between seventeen and eighteen, I had scarcely begun to suspect that any other human being was so low as to harbor the erratic and sinful thoughts which occasionally flashed through my own mind.

    My concern is with the mental and critical standards of America as they exist today, and of England, from which they seem to be derived. England—the home of bourgeois art and bourgeois accomplishment. The average American, as I have said before, has such an odd, such a naive conception of what the world is like, what it is that is taking place under his eyes and under the sun.

    As a matter of fact, in spite of the American constitution and the American oratorical address of all and sundry occasions, the average American school, college, university, institution, is very much against the development of the individual in the true sense of that word. What it really wants is not an individual, but an automatic copy of some altruistic and impossible ideal, which has been formulated here and in England, under the domination of Christianity. This is literally true. I defy you to read any college or university prospectus or address or plea, which concerns the purposes or the ideals of these institutions, and not agree with me. They are not after individuals, they are after types or schools of individuals, all to be very much alike, all to be like themselves.

    No country in the world, at least none that I know anything about, has such a peculiar, such a seemingly fierce determination, to make the Ten Commandments work. It would be amusing if it were not pitiful, their faith in these binding religious ideals. I, for one, have never been able to make up my mind whether this springs from the zealotry of the Puritans who landed at Plymouth Rock, or whether it is indigenous to the soil (which I doubt when I think of the Indians who preceded the whites), or whether it is a product of the federal constitution, compounded by such idealists as Paine and Jefferson and Franklin, and the more or less religious and political dreamers of the p re-constitutional days. Certain it is that no profound moral idealism animated the French in Canada, the Dutch in New York, the Swedes in New Jersey, or the mixed French and English in the extreme south and New Orleans.

    But an odd thing in connection with this financial and social criminality is that it has been consistently and regularly accompanied, outwardly at least, by a religious and a sex puritanism which would be scarcely believable if it were not true. I do not say that the robbers and thieves who did so much to build up our great commercial and social structures were in themselves inwardly or outwardly always religious or puritanically moral from the sex point of view, although in regard to the latter, they most frequently made a show of so being. But I do say this, that the communities and the states and the nation in which they were committing their depredations have been individually and collectively, in so far as the written, printed and acted word are concerned, and in pictures and music, militantly pure and religious during all the time that this has been going forward under their eyes, and, to a certain extent, with their political consent. Why? I have a vague feeling that it is the American of Anglo-Saxon origin only who has been most vivid in his excitement over religion and morals where the written, printed, acted, or painted word was concerned, yet who, at the same time, and perhaps for this very reason, was failing or deliberately refusing to see, the contrast which his ordinary and very human actions presented to all this.

    One of the interesting phases of this puritanism or phariseeism is his attitude toward women and their morality and their purity. If ever a people has refined eroticism to a greater degree than the American, I am not aware of it. Owing to a theory or the doctrinaire acceptance of the Mary legend (Mary olotry, no less), the good American, capable of the same gross financial crimes previously indicated, has been able to look upon most women, but more particularly those above him in the social scale, as considerably more than human—angelic, no less, and possessed of qualities the like of which are not to be found in any breathing being, man, woman, child, or animal. It matters not that his cities and towns, like those of any other nation, are rife with sex ; that in each one are specific and often large areas devoted to Eros or Venus, or both. While maintaining them, he is still blind to their existence or import. He or his boys or his friends go —but—.

    Only a sex blunted nature or race such as the Anglo-Saxon could have built up any such asinine theory as this. The purity, the sanctity, the self abnegation, the delicacy of women —how these qualities have been exaggerated and dinned into our ears, until at last the average scrubby non reasoning male, quite capable of visiting the gardens of Venus, or taking a girl off the street, is no more able to clearly visualize the creature before him than he is the central wilds of Africa which he has never seen. A princess, a goddess, a divine mother or creative principle, all the virtues, all the perfections, no vices, no weaknesses, no errors—some such hodgepodge as this has come to be the average Anglo-Saxon, or at least American, conception of the average American woman. I do not say that a portion of this illusion is not valuable — I think it is. But as it stands now, she is too good to be true; a paragon, a myth! Actually, she doesn’t exist at all as he has been taught to imagine her. She is nothing more than a two-legged biped like the rest of us, but in consequence of this delusion sex itself, being a violation of this paragon, has become a crime. We enter upon the earth, it is true, in a none too artistic manner (conceived in iniquity and born in sin, is the biblical phrasing of it) , but all this has long since been glossed over ignored—and to obviate its brutality as much as possible, the male has been called upon to purify himself in thought and deed, to avoid all private speculation as to women and his relationship to them, and, much more than that, to avoid all public discussion, either by word of mouth or the printed page.

    To think of women or to describe them as anything less than the paragon previously commented upon, has become, by this process, not only a sin—it is a shameful infraction of the moral code, no less. Women are too good, the sex relationship too vile a thing, to be mentioned or even thought of. We must move in a mirage of illusion. We must not know what we really do. We must trample fact under foot and give fancy, in the guise of our so-called better natures, free rein.

    Yet this is a democracy. Here, as in every other realm of the world, the individual is permitted, compelled, to seek his own material and mental salvation as best he may. The trouble with a democracy as opposed to an autocracy, with a line of titled idlers permitted the gift of leisure and art indulgence, is that there is no central force or group to foster art, to secure letters and art in their inalienable rights, to make of superior thought a noble and a sacred thing. I am not saying that democracy will not yet produce such a central force or group.

    The most significant and, to me, discouraging manifestation in connection with the United States today, is the tendency to even narrower and more puritanical standards than have obtained in the past. In all conscience, up to this year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventeen, they have been bad enough. As a matter of fact, America, in its hundred years of life, has not even reached the intellectual maturity that goes in individual cases with a stripling of eighteen.

    The American, by some hocus pocus of atavism, has seemingly borrowed or retained from lower English middle-class puritans all their fol de rol notions about making human nature perfect by fiat or edict—the written word, as it were, which goes with all religions. So, although by reason of the coarsest and most brutal methods, we, as a nation, have built up one of the most interesting and domineering oligarchies in the world, we are still by no means aware of the fact.

    Indeed, ever since the Mayflower landed, and the country began to grow westward, we have been convinced that we were destined to make the Ten Commandments, in all their arbitrary perfection, work. One might show readily enough that America attained its amazing position in life by reason of the fact that, along with boundless opportunities, the Ten Commandments did not and do not work, but what would be the use? With one hand the naïve American takes and executes with all the brutal insistence of nature itself; with the other he writes glowing platitudes concerning brotherly love, virtue, purity, truth, etc., etc.

    A part of this right or left hand tendency, as the case might be, is seen in the constant desire of the American to reform something. No country in the world, not even England, the mother of fol de rol reforms, is so prolific in these frail ventures as this great country of ours. In turn we have had campaigns for the reform of the atheist, the drunkard, the lecher, the fallen woman, the buccaneer financier, the drug fiend, the dancer, the theater goer, the reader of novels, the wearer of low-neck dresses and surplus jewelry—in fact, every human taste and frivolity, wherever sporadically it has chanced to manifest itself with any interesting human force. Your reformer’s idea is that any human being, to be a successful one, must be a pale spindling sprout, incapable of any vice or crime. And all the while the threshing sea of life is sounding in his ears. The thief, the lecher, the drunkard, the fallen woman, the greedy, the inordinately vain, as in all ages past, pass by his door, and are not the whit less numerous for the unending campaigns which have been launched to save them. In other words, human nature is human nature, but your American cannot be made to believe it.

    He will not give up the illusion which was piled safely in the hold of the Mayflower when it set sail. He is going to reform man and the world willy nilly, and, while- in his rampant idealism he is neglecting to build up a suitable army and navy wherewith to defend himself, he is busy propagating little cults whereby man is to be made less vigorous, more the useless anemic thing that he has in mind.

    Personally, my quarrel is with America’s quarrel with original thought. It is so painful to me to see one after another of our alleged reformers tilting Don Quixote-like at the giant windmills of fact. We are to have no pictures which the puritan and the narrow, animated by an obsolete dogma, cannot approve of. We are to have no theaters, no motion pictures, no books, no public exhibitions of any kind, no speech even, which will in any way contravene his limited view of life. A few years ago it was the humble dealer in liquor whose life was anathematized, and whose property: was descended upon with torches, axes and bombs. Now comes prohibition. A little later, our cities growing and the sections devoted to the worship of Venus becoming more manifest, the Vice Crusader was bred, and we had the spectacle of whole areas of fallen women scattered to the four winds, and allowed to practice separately what they could not do collectively. Then came Mr. Comstock, vindictive, persistent, and with a nose and a taste for the profane and erotic, such as elsewhere has not been equaled since. Pictures, books, the theater, the dance, the studio—all came under his watchful eye. During the twenty or thirty years in which he acted as a United States Postoffice Inspector, he was, because of his dull charging against things which he did not rightly understand, never out of the white light of publicity which he so greatly craved. One month it would be a novel by D’Annunzio; another, a set of works by Balzac or de Maupassant, found in the shade of some gravelly bookseller’s shop; the humble photographer attempting a nude; the painter who allowed his reverence for Raphael to carry him too far; the poet who attempted a recrudescence of Don Juan in modern iambics, was immediately seized upon and hauled before an equally dull magistrate, there to be charged with his offense and to be fined accordingly. All this is being continued with emphasis.

    Then came the day of the White Slave Chasers, and now no American city, and no backwoods Four Corners, however humble, is complete without a vice commission of some kind, or at least a local agent or representative, charged with the duty of keeping the art, the literature, the press, and the private lives of all those at hand up to that standard of perfection which only the dull can set for themselves.

    Several years ago, when the White Slave question was at its whitest heat, the problem of giving expression to its fundamental aspects was divided between raiding plays which attempted to show the character of the crime in too graphic a manner, and licensing those which appealed to the intelligence of those who were foremost in the crusade. Thus we had the spectacle of an uncensored, but nevertheless approved, ten-reel film showing more details of the crime and better methods of securing white slaves, than any other production of the day, running undisturbed to packed houses all over the country, while two somewhat more dramatic, but far less effective distributors of information in the way of plays were successfully harried from city to city and finally withdrawn.

    Shakespeare has been ordered from the schools in some of the states. A production of “Antony and Cleopatra” has been raided in Chicago. Japanese prints of a high art value, intended for the seclusion of a private collection, have been seized and the most valuable of them held to be destroyed. By turns, an artistic fountain to Heine in New York, loan exhibits of paintings in Denver, Kansas City, and elsewhere, scores of books by Stevenson, James Lane Allen, Frances H. Burnett, have been attacked, not only, as in the case of the latter, with the invisible weapons of the law, as might be expected, but, in regard to the former, with actual axes. A male dancer of repute and some artistic ability, has been raided publicly by the Vice Crusaders for his shameless exposure of his person! No play, no picture, no book, no public or private jubilation of any kind, is complete any more without its vice attack.

    To me this sort of thing is dull, and bespeaks the low state to which our mental activities have fallen.”

    I hope that these passages have helped you, dear reader, understand better the moral panic that the Americans exhibit right now; and, in fact, have always exhibited.

    • Cavalier says:

      You’ve dredged up an interesting passage, Mr. Cohen. Or is it Mr. Kagan? Or Mr. Krogan? I can never quite keep these things in order.

      • Your Wife's Son says:

        Mr Kogan did nothing to stop puritanism from evolving in the direction it did; if Jews would’ve used their verbal IQ and influence over Western society to pose any serious opposition to puritanism, you’d have a case. So far, the eternal yid and the eternal anglo have been in full cooperation.

        You have to make up your mind: if Jews are in complete control, then it’s they who allowed this bonkers situation to happen, meaning that they are totally okay with puritanism as long as it neutralizes whites; and if Jews are not in complete control, then America has an “organic” moral insanity problem.

        Or, you think that there is nothing crazy about the current crusade against “sexual harassers,” in which case, you’re part of the very same feminist agenda as they promote.

        Again, to repeat my contention: either the current moral panic is created by Jews, meaning that Jews push a distinctly puritan agenda; or it is created against the will of the Jews, meaning that the Jews are PWNED by “someone” stronger than they are, and so that “someone” is responsible for this mad situation.

        Or it’s both of those things, bizarrely.

        Since — for instance — the AOC in Israel is 16, it follows that, for whatever reason, the supposed (imaginary) Jewish opposition to puritanism, which stands at the base of your comment (going beyond muh ed hominem), has either failed, or was never attempted. As Massachusetts conquered the world, for some reason, the Jews did not hinder it on its path.

        Funny, isn’t it?

      • Your Wife's Son says:

        In other words: Jews came to a puritan country, and armed with high abstract reasoning, had 140 years to fight against the puritan ideology. Since evidently this ideology is still going very strong, it’s either that the Jews have tried to quench it and failed miserably, or they did not try to stop it at all.

        If the latter case is true, as I believe it is, then it raises the question of why Jews are cooperating with an agenda that someone else came up with. The answer, with which you must be familiar, is that Jews exacerbate diseases which are already found among the host, and in the case of puritanism, they recognized it for the disease it is, and have chosen to cooperate with it.

        They did the same thing with egalitarianism. Now egalitarianism is devouring the Jews themselves (“let us have a conversation about Jewish privilege…”), and likewise, the puritan-feminist ideology, which the Jews thought was their exclusive weapon to be wielded against the hated hosts, is now being used against them, or to be precise, being used in a manner not approved by them.

        Basically, the Jews did not invent anti-racism, but they are responsible for turning it into such a potent weapon as it has become; and the Jews did not come up with feminism, but they are responsible for it becoming the potent weapon that it has become. Now anti-racism is used against the Jews, or at least that’s where things are headed, and the feminist agenda — which the Jews have inherited from the puritans — is likewise used against them and against their allies.

        Which may be a good thing, but I don’t see how the 14 words are promoted by this state of affairs. It’s like the Jews had been drowning you in a pool which you have built, so you grabbed them by the legs and pulled them down into the water, and now both of you are drowning in the same pool. Poetic justice, but you’re still drowning.

        • glosoli says:

          Why do you think that puritanism is still going strong? Aren’t we living in a modern-day version of the worst of Rome?

          A few media guys and pols being called out by some (mostly) whores is more likely to be the ongoing march of feminism than any resurgence of puritanism. Age of consent issues surely are just designed to stop whites from replacing themselves, or adding to their numbers, same as all the other finance-promoted policies. We are their only threat globally.

          The end result of recent revelations is consistent with the motivation of the financiers/capitalists: continued destruction of trust; more misery; continued destruction of masculinity; continued power to females; less white children.

    I’ve been on a lo carb diet for four months; lost 30 pounds so far. Lots of other health benefits besides losing fat: even energy levels throughout the work day, good digestion, total absence of heartburn. All good. Pork, eggs, beef, chicken fish, shrimp, avos, asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, cheese, pork rinds. Red wine and bourbon.

        Sometimes, a woman has a husband committed to a stupid diet. These husbands may or may not enforce the diet rigorously depending on how feminist they are. Ironically, this is a way feminism helps families to at least survive, though husband and wife will be angry with each other, wife at husband for poisoning her, husband at wife for disobedience.

        Sometimes the husband meets the wife over the stupid diet because the woman was told to marry a liberal. These couples can kill their babies with their diet, but usually just malnourish their children.

                  Maybe they do. But it is publish or perish, and if you find that red meat has good effects, you are not going to be published, while if you find it has bad effects, you are going to be published.

                  Thus, for example, people did a study where they found that rising CO2 levels increase food production – but that under certain not very likely condiitions, the food containsts a lower proportion of protein, even though the total amount of protein produced increases, the carbs increases more than the protein: Conclusion: Rising CO2 will cause protein deficiencies.

                  Similarly, it is perfectly obvious that coral bleaching is caused by low water events, because there is an obvious waterline level to each coral bleaching event, but no one will say that, because it has to be global warming or you just will not get published.

                  Excessive smoking is obviously bad for you, but one cigarette every other day and/or a cigar on the weekends won’t do much harm. And there are a couple physical and mental benefits to nicotine. Reduced risk of Alzheimers and I definitely feel more relaxed and focused after my mid-shift smoke break.

    > It was entirely motivated by instinctive irrational gut hostility against masculinity,

    Not a chance. Though indeed all such campaigns are fairly similar.
    * Those who actually push the campaign?
    They don’t even bother to pretend in everyday life that they drink their own Kool-Aid. Socialist bosses lived in palaces and looted by trains. How many windmills are stuck around Al Gore’s own home? And #GreensGoByAir still.
    For comparison: they also clutch pearls in fake hoplophobia. They obviously don’t have anything against guns (their bodyguards carry and often so do themselves), but simply want any sort of power to be their alone, especially anything that can be useful to get rid of them. So why use different interpretations for very uniform actions of the same group?
    * The activists and parrots (including MSM)?
    They will woof or squawk at whatever they were told to make sounds at. Or will first love, then (when ordered to turn) hate, then love it AGAIN. Just like the undisguised reds acted toward Trotsky, Tukhachevsky etc. And repeated the same with Stalin. Some after “having their eyes opened” and being “repentant” on the next turn, some without cheap histrionics.
    And those who sang “hurr, concrete clad paradise, just sweep aside the oldthinkers who unbellyfeel, yarr” were on the same team that later re-painted into Fake Green to sing “hurr, concrete clad hell, and it’s all fault of the oldthinkers who unbellyfeel, baww”.
    The Fake Green rather obviously don’t take their green-ness seriously. Exactly the same deal as with puppy-killing PETArds. They never took the whole “equality” thing seriously. Why would they suddenly do any other such slogan too seriously?
    * Tag-along crowd?
    It’s motivated by carrot and stick. Which is why it does not lead, it follows. And will sigh, reluctantly turn and graze on in whichever new direction activists are herding it.
    * The fanatics?
    There are always a few clowns who actually believe that crap and will not waver with the line of party, yeah. But their direction is also initially set by following whatever the preachers told them. And when the preachers turn and they won’t, these are routinely left behind and used as living straw of “oldthinkers who unbellyfeel”

    So, which exactly part of a campaign is “motivated” by something deep-rooted toward something? Not seeing it.

        > but why the food pyramid and war on fat?
        There’s not necessarily any reason at all beyond “this one worked”. It’s but one quack movement which managed to expand farther and for longer in a field swarming with whole herds of quacks. If this was very unpopular (like many others), it would quietly die and be replaced by another, and another.
        The rest is science as a nationalized industry being consumed by bureaucracy (for which almost any quack campaign would do), and feeding the non-issue factory (ditto – pseudoscience is a juicier fallback than “The flaccid tissues of long-dead issues offensive to God and mankind”).
        >Why the anthropogenic global warming scam?
        Hmm. To think of it, AGW campaign had three levels.
        1) “Global Warming” scare shaping to be equal and opposite of the previous “Global Cooling” scare, not unlike many others. It was large, but not intense. And had purpose: for the parrots it was bird food between proper focused campaigns, for their owners it kept distracted everyone who heeds the parrots.
        this probably created opportunities to promote something a particular power group wants that happened to remotely align with the “issue”, but it’s usual and random.
        2) “big politics thing”. It probably started from Thatcher vs. coal miners, indeed.
        Which in itself was yet another opportunistic use of quacks as a stepladder. Much like with the economists – sometimes a stopped clock shows the time convenient for someone. While reusable, it was not essential to anything. And rather limited in campaign scope. The ozone scare and DDT scare were greater, and they accomplished little beyond distraction and a little more control freakery creeping in.
        3) Full hysteria. By far more intense. Up to carbon indulgences, Agenda 21 and all. Seizing power in plain sight. Global Cooling and Ozone Holes put together were not half this big.

        Ironically (given the subject), the process is too large and intertwined to tell ”why” anything happened this way.
        Maybe it’s a random convenience. Perhaps the Global Cooling had some opportunities for the elites and New Comintern, but with heat being a byproduct of literally everything this only meant doing anything is a good thing. Inverting it and reusing arguments with which it was dismissed was trivial. Also, the “Nuclear Winter” scare industry was rendered mostly irrelevant. and thus desperate for sponsors.
        Maybe it’s a positive feedback explosion. After all, Ozone Holes were a much greater non-issue than Global Cooling, and it follows that as bullshit industry grew and was a bit desperate after USSR collapse, the next global scare had to start ASAP, be more of a big deal (more hungry parrots), and become more frantic (they compete).
        Maybe the next turn was planned to be tighter and ran only with minor adaptations.
        Maybe it was a plan that randomly ran into already forming avalanche rather than another dead end?

      • TBeholder says:

        > was pure academic theocracy, with only the thinnest pretense of paying attention to external evidence
        Well, yeah. It’s nothing new, either.
        Such a long run of something so obviously fishy may point at broken mechanisms that used to limit this. Not only real science is not done, but also ivory tower academics (new theologists) and plain quacks don’t compete enough, because they became a part of the socialist pyramid too.

        > It was not big corn, or big sugar, it was not human error, it was an internally generated belief system. It came from inside. Like Freudianism, they wanted to believe.
        The food industry came for the free advertisement, and stayed longer than was safe for the perverse incentives, indeed.

                  Which supports my point, in any case, of America being the land of the almighty dollar: these people have launched to the top of the (formal) system based on nothing but their assets.

                  Fracking is a new thing. Also, no glamorous fracking billionaires. The old oil tycoons did pretty well for themselves in terms of reputation and all that. Who cares about some uncharismatic schmuck in fracking. Cars, though, are pretty sexy if done right. Rockets are extremely sexy. I don’t invent the rules.

                  >would contradict the point you intend to prove that old money is better than new money

                  Old money is better in some ways and worse in some other ways.

                  Better: more stable, more reliable, more time to gently massage class into its possessors, more time to accumulate the coterie of high-end lawyers and finance dudes and capable managers and whatnot to protect it and further its interests.

                  Worse: it’s boring, it’s reliable, it doesn’t excite the imaginations of the unwashed masses because they know that even in their wildest fantasies that the time to become an oil tycoon or whatever has passed, the rags-to-riches mean-regression-unstable Hero-Founder is usually decrepit or dead and his offspring bland and unimpressive, etc.

                  The Wild West nature of America, both in the literal Wild West and the figurative Wild West of the wealth “churn” produced by the Industrial Revolution, effectively destroyed good breeding as a traditional, reputable thing. If shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations, no lineages ever get long enough to stabilize sufficiently to cement their hold on the system and use the respite to further concern themselves with self-breeding.

                  >HR will make a billionaire hire Obamaphone woman, and he has to watch his step

                  For one thing, Obamaphone woman actually turned out to be pretty reasonable.

                  For another, HR occupies a very specific place in the company hierarchy. It can slowly destroy a company over time, but only by controlling the inflow and outflow of floor-level employees. Think of it this way: there is a layer of the people in charge of the company, then below them is a layer of HR, then below them are the credentialed peasants. HR has zero authority over who gets helicoptered into management positions, who gets on what boards, or any of that, and merely the suggestion, once stated explicitly, is ludicrous.

                  Billionaires are not subject to HR in the same way as they are not subject to TSA gropeage.

        • Hank Rearden says:

          glosoli is a perfect example of a fairly decent European man who, while calling himself Christian, rejects Christ’s Judeo-Bolshevist teachings with clever yet strained and ultimately inadequate interpretations.

          “….primitive Christianity is Bolshevism.”
          -Ludwig von Mises (Socialism, p. 413)
          http://www.econlib.org/library/Mises/msS10.html#IV.29.14

          Unfortunately, Christendom’s endorsement of Jesus gives excuse to the Bolshevists, and good Europeans have been “continually disarmed” by Jesus’ Judeo-Bolshevism, as Mises also observed:

          “One thing of course is clear, and no skilful interpretation can obscure it. Jesus’ words are full of resentment against the rich, and the Apostles are no meeker in this respect….This is a case in which the Redeemer’s words bore evil seed…The Church as an organization has certainly always stood on the side of those who tried to ward off communistic attack. But it could not achieve much in this struggle. For it was continually disarmed by the words: ‘Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God.'”
          (at section IV.29.20 in the above reference)

          While “no skilful interpretation can obscure it,” I’m sure glosoli will try. And his apologetics will be “continually disarmed” by simply quoting the Jewbook.

          • glosoli says:

            You’re boring, a typical atheist, just re-hashing anti-Christian stuff you find online, with no reference to scripture.

                • Hank Rearden says:

                  Everybody you meet is a Wodenist between Tues’ Day and Thor’s Day, for His name is on their lips. Even when they’re ostensibly worshiping the kike’s Jehovah in church on Sun-worship Day, the name of their forefathers’ pagan Gott (God, Gotin, Wotan, Woden) is on their lips, and worshiping God specifically displeases the kike’s deity, according to Isaiah 65:11:

                  “And ye are those forsaking Jehovah, Who are forgetting My holy mountain, Who are setting in array for G_d a table…”

                  Hebes getting upset about worshiping God is funny as Hell — who was Loki’s daughter by the way, and never mentioned in the original manuscripts of the Jewbook.

                  Just think about it from my perspective, okay? I had been engaging in a discussion about child sexuality for quite a while, and thought about a (legal) way to prove my point. It then popped into my mind that I had read books by this lady containing some juicy quotes I could use, so I went over the stuff and posted the relevant pieces on November 4. It generated some fun discussion, and I felt proud of myself for being “right” on the internet and ruffling some feathers.

                  Keep in mind that nobody here has even heard of that woman until I brought her up. Previous time I had gone through her stuff was years ago.

                The thing with atheists, neopagans and other types of such wankers is the nice chorus they make with the Jews hating on Christianity.

                Wake me up when the Jews blame the sacred six million on paganism or zoroastrianism or whatever you call yourself.

                In the meanwhile, the question is: why is it that you talk about jew-centric this, jew-centric that, but end up attacking the same targets as the jew?

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  >Wake me up when the Jews blame the sacred six million on paganism

                  Jews who try to ingratiate themselves with cuckservative Christians claim that the Nazis were atheistic Pagans. Remember that Jews play all sides, and that there are Jewish converts to Christianity.

                  >why is it that you talk about jew-centric this, jew-centric that,

                  You have to understand where they’re coming from. It just feels *weird* discussing the detrimental Jewish influence on society, and proposing to eliminate all Jewish social constructs – and then going to Church and hearing about saintly Jewish figures doing this and that. The atheists/pagans ask a logical question: if Jews are so bad, why are we venerating them?

                  >end up attacking the same targets as the jew?

                  Of course, you do have a point: since Jews kvetch so loudly about “historical persecution by Christians,” surely, the Church isn’t all bad. The difference, though, is that Jews attack the Church for being antisemitic, while atheists/pagans attack it for being philosemitic. Same target, wholly different criticism.

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  By the way, this could be a cool meme: “oh, we don’t want to exterminate the Jews; we just want to de-construct the social construct known as Jewish lives.”

                  We DO blame it on Bad Paganism. (We think that there’s a Nice kind of Paganism, too — the Greek kind. Also, we like the pictures in the D’Aulaires Book of Norse Myths a LOT.)

                  We think that Christians are mean to us but not usually in a beating-up, killy kind of way. It’s the Bad Pagans who wanna sacrifice us to that devil-god from the Doctor Strange movie, — you know, the one who floats in the Metaverse. Oh – Dormammu; I just looked it up.

                  U wut m8?

                  Jews despise Greek paganism about as much as — no, actually, way more so than — they despise Germanic paganism. Jews practically blame the rise of Christianity on Greek paganism; they blame all their troubles between 200 BC and 200 AD on the Greeks/Romans; they sometimes call the modern “anti-Jewish” Western World “Greek”; for crying out loud, Jews call other Jews they dislike HELLENISTS.

                  Every fucking Hanukkah, you commemorate your genocidal and fanatic war against GREEK PAGANS.

                  Jews don’t think anybody else is “nice.” They hold a grudge against the entire world. Have been at it for 2.5 millennia. Oy vey.

          Having mentioned (on the previous post by Jim) my discovery of the jubilee cycle (debts are actually wiped out in the 50th year, even though we don’t obey God’s laws to do this, next 50th year is 2031), am I really a nut to stop eating pork? Did you read the linked article?

          Even today, mainstream diets are focused on carbs and sugars, and animal fats are blamed for heart disease. But we know that was all lies, pushed by the sugar industry. And no doubt pushed by (((others))) to harm our health. But 95% of the Western population still eat crap and believe that nonsense, so perhaps it’s those people that are nuts, rather than me, I switched to paleo 4 or 5 years ago.

          Listen, I become red-pilled through 2016, before that I was barely dipping a toe into the water (and it was only really financial stuff and health stuff).

          Everything I’ve read in the reactionary/alt-right sphere, literally everything, and everything I see actually happening in the world, is confirmed by my ongoing reading of the bible, including the Old Testament. Whether it’s intersex relationships and behaviour, money, power, ethno-nationalism, societal morals, family and tribal bonds, good and evil, all of it is just a subset of what God has already revealed to us. I have no agenda, other than a curious mind and a desire to know the truth about our world and our existence, and the meaning of it all.

          I don’t have to give up pork, it doesn’t affect my salvation, but there’s nothing solid in the New Testament that removes God’s sensible guidance on what is good to eat, and what is unclean. And science seems to support this too. I’ve suffered from IBS for many years so it will be interesting to see if my guts improve with pork off the menu.

          Circumcision was not necessary for adult converts to Christianity, so I will not be going down that road. I have yet to research the background to why God required infant boys to be circumcised, but I will do at some point.

          I feel quite sad for those with prejudiced views about biblical truth. I would suggest reading, or listening to the bible (Alexander Scourby version) and thinking about how old truths still apply. And maybe, if you ask God to reveal Himself to you, like me, you will have a couple of inexplicable supernatural experiences too.

          • jim says:

            Wild pork tends to be loaded with worms, worms that can infect humans. I expect that was also the case with domestic pork a few centuries back. But today, cleaner pigsties, and better controlled cooking methods render pork safe.

                  Lol. There are two reasons why, in the Current Year, the fundie-fedora war was put on hold:

                  1) Islam made criticism of religion verboten among progressives;

                  2) Intelligent religious folks (especially if race-realist and sex-realist) realized that evolution is correct, so perhaps the atheists should be given some respect after all.

                  You are sawing off the branch you are sitting on by rejecting Darwin. Cavalier is gonna be apoplectic when he sees this.

                  Seriously, I don’t think anyone here rejects the theory of evolution. Are you sure that you’ve thought this one through?

                • jim says:

                  Evolutionary psychiatry gives pretty much the same predictions as fall of man theory, assuming the ancestral environment, the environment of evolutionary adaptation, was morally decadent.

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  Actually there’s a third reason:

                  3) Right-wing atheists, separated off from left-wing atheists who went completely off the rails with SJWism, began appreciating the wisdom of traditional religion, as traditional religion largely confirms things that the right-wing cares about, such as natural sex roles.

                  Still, in fundie-fedora interactions, the theory of evolution as such is rarely mentioned, for reasons of diplomacy.

                  For example, the acquisition of multiple antibiotic resistance in a single leap by bacteria comes through gene transfer with some other bacterium that already has it – by the bacterial equivalent of sex and hybridization. Nothing post Darwinian about sex and hybridization. Darwin literally wrote the book on sex and evolution, in that his book on the topic is still as relevant and foundational as ever it was, and we are still carrying out that book’s research program.

                • pdimov says:

                  When people say “evolution” they typically mean gradualism, the creation of new species via gradual accumulation of random mutations and natural selection of the beneficial ones.

                  http://www.macroevolution.net/introduction.html is a hybridization theory of speciation, which is very far from the mainstream.

                  It may not be “post-Darwinian”, but it’s certainly not what most people mean by evolution.

                  Hybridization in no way contradicts or casts doubt on Darwin, who did not think that species were objectively well defined or unambiguously distinct.

                  Darwin’s account is that everything was a breed, and breeds tended to drift apart over time, so tribes gradually became races, and races gradually became species, with no well defined time at which crossbreeding between one breed and another stopped. The abrupt origin of a new kind, as a creature finds its way to a new island, or new environmental niche, or a fortunate and successful hybrid, is entirely part of Darwin’s theory. But then that new kind gradually becomes more perfectly fitted to its new environment.

                  To argue that the abrupt origin of new kinds is contrary to Darwin, you have to impose on Darwin a concept of species as objective and well defined entities that Darwin explicitly rejected. To refute Darwin’s gradualism, you have to simultaneously deny his gradualism.

                  In Darwin’s account, a successful hybrid gradually becomes more than just a hybrid, becomes a new species, not overnight, but as a result of gradual changes. But there is no particular point at which one can say that it is now a new species, not just yet another hybrid.

                  “Secondly, detailed study of many bacterial characteristics, especially pathogenicity (the ability to cause disease) and virulence, indicate that they are encoded by plasmids or by critical segments of the DNA, so-called “genomic islands” (Hacker and Carniel 2001; Juhas, van der Meer et al. 2009). The sequences of genomic islands show that they have been acquired from unrelated organisms and integrated into the cellular genome by natural genetic engineering methods.”

                  Acquiring DNA from unrelated organisms is not at all like sex.

                  The simplistic understanding of evolution is basically a fairy tale for trumpet players, and the actual mechanisms are completely different.

                • pdimov says:

                  Nope, transfers are possible between bacteria and plant or animal cells, for instance. (Also, viruses carry DNA segments of all kinds of cells around.) Plus, transfers are targeted, not random.

                  And it’s not just transfers; there are DNA rewrite mechanisms that rearrange the genome in non-random ways in response to environmental cues.

                  Transfers are not targeted, they are random. And transfers between grossly unrelated kinds generally fail to have interesting consequences.

                  As kinds become more distantly related, transfers become more likely to be destructive, and hence less likely to be lastingly incorporated. But at the same time, transfers between distant kinds are more likely to provide novel capabilities. All of this was envisaged and foreseen by Darwin.

                  We have small bits of DNA from wildly unrelated kinds – but most of them are mildly harmful, the seriously harmful ones having been eliminated by evolution, and none of them are particularly useful.

                  On the genetic level, hybridization between two species that are distinct enough triggers the DNA rewrite mechanisms that reshuffle the genome. So the hybrid is indeed a new species, overnight and immediately.

                  Darwinism 101: “Species” are rather arbitrary sharp black and white lines that scientists draw upon a world that lacks sharp lines and is composed of shades of gray. Whether two kinds are two closely related species or two distantly related races is a fact about terminology, not a fact about the world.

                  Models that assume randomness fail to predict.

                  Chance and necessity, randomness followed by selection, explains all in biology, and adequate predicts all that is predictable. That Darwin’s account is consistent with the world that we see is apparent in data that was gathered before peer review poisoned the scientific literature.

                  Darwinism 101 is pre-sequencing. On the genetic level, when two species have different number of chromosomes, it’s not exactly gray. And there can be no gradual changes between 45 and 46 chromosomes, as you can’t have 45.1, 45.2 and so on. It’s a pretty sharp line, and it lies somewhere.

                  Similarly, if the chromosomes are the same number but in a different order. Given a genome you can always tell which species it is, there’s no gray. You just check the order.

                  “Chance and necessity, randomness followed by selection, explains all in biology, and adequate predicts all that is predictable.”

                  A good summary of gradualism. No, it doesn’t adequately predict the future. Changes occur when they aren’t expected to, and don’t occur when they are expected to. Like the climate models, it explains the past, but can’t predict the future.

                  There are perfectly good species that have a variable number of chromosomes, for example chickens, pigeons, and pigs. If you want to divide chickens into two species on the basis of the number of chromosomes, chicken farmers will look at you funny.

                  “Chance and Necessity” by Jacques Monod is essential reading for Darwinists. It’s up there with “Plan and Purpose in Nature” and “The Extended Phenotype”.

                  Everything Jim says on this subject is right. ‘Species’ is a useful fiction, as indeed is ‘organism’. There’s nothing to be gained by nitpicking and insisting on the absolute capital-R Reality of everything. (A good philosophical primer for that area of thought is Dan Dennett’s “The Intentional Stance”.)

                  As for saltations, again Dennett’s instructive: “Darwin’s Dangerous Idea” totally destroys the Gouldian saltationist ‘punctuated equilibrium’ idea. Basically the apparent leaps in evolution are an artefact solely of *scale*. Change the scale and things that looked smooth are now lumpy. Change the scale the other way and things that looked jumpy are now gradual.

                  Generally speaking, Darwinism’s austere (no magic epi-bullshit), adaptationist and far-reaching (genes operating on behaviour/environment outside their particular phenome).

                  Yes, ‘white’ don’t real.

                  However, you can for example distinguish causasians and mongoloids by examining the hip bones.

                  Caucasian basically means PIE descendents, doesn’t it?

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  “Caucasian” is even more of a misnomer than white.

                  There are basically 3 sub-species of “human”: Africans, far Asians, and “Eurasians” or “PIE.”

                  Africans includes all the different kinds of black niggers in Africa.

                  Far Asians includes Australoids/Melanesians, Mongoloids (ching chong ding dong), and Amerinds.

                  Eurasian/PIE includes everyone between India in the east, Yemen in the south, Morocco/Portugal in the west, and Russia/Norway in the north.

                  It’s funny to put Abos and Japanese as the same sub-species, given that Abos are probably the most inferior and least neotenic “humans” in the world while Japanese are an uber-neotenic master race, but that’s the reality. Likewise, Cavalier must be offended when I say that black street-shitting Dravidians and white Aryans like himself are broadly the same sub-species, but that’s what it looks like. If the nips can swallow their pride, so can you.

                  Which is why we use “race” in the first place. We say that the Chinaman belongs to the yellow race and the Amerind belongs to the red race; we also differentiate between Europeans, whom we call “whites,” and the North Africans, Middle Easterners, and South-Central Asians, whom we do not call “whites.”

                  The only sub-species about which there’s no confusion is the niggers of Africa.

                  The Armenians, like “European Jews,” and like Turks, are the same sub-species as you are, but they’re more like half-white than white. The white category is not entirely useless, as it serves to differentiate Europeans from non-Europeans; within the white race, there are sub-races, such as Mediterraneans, Nordics, Alpines, or whatever.

                  It’s not helpful to define pure Semites or anyone with old Aryan blood such as North Indians or Persians or some Afghans or some Berbers as “white,” because we reserve that category to people whose ancestry is largely indigenous to Europe, which these groups’ ancestries are not.

                  Whiteness is not confined to the Hajnal Line, nor is it confined to K-selected populations. Vladimir is white. Shlomo, half-white. Abdul, non-white. Same sub-species, though.

                  Discriminating against Shlomo is not a problem, in the same way that discriminating against Barry Soetoro is not a problem. Half-white is not white.

                  But Cavalier wants to discriminate against Vladimir. For that purpose, he needs to differentiate between Nordics and Slavs. Both are white, but not the same kind of white. The Nordic category should include the British, the Germans, the French, the Scandinavians, and related peoples; while the Slavs (and Balts, and perhaps Magyars also – depends on how racist you feel at any particular moment) would be those other whites in Eastern Europe.

                  At this point in history, I think that it’s a completely misguided strategy on your part to discriminate against Vlad. But if that’s your thing, it’s best that you call your ideology “Nordicism.”

                  Apparently, though, even Nordicism is not exclusive enough for you, which is understandable, but then perhaps you should focus on territory in conjunction with race, and declare East Anglia as the homeland of the ubermensch. That’s when you know that your (racial) purity spiralling has gotten completely out of control, but in your view that’s a good thing, so so be it.

                  Human races are the same species because the genome structure is basically identical (within epsilon). No subspecies for political reasons; there’s no biological reason to insist on lack of subspecies. If aliens existed, their biologists would have consensus that human races are at least subspecies.

            I researched the Bible “autistically” between 2010 and 2012; there was even a time when I sincerely believe in it. And by the way, I’m also a “nut,” in that I do believe in a higher power, and I also believe that that my life has been strikingly influenced by this higher power.

            But it’s exactly my extensive knowledge of the Bible that tells me that the truth is to be found elsewhere. All the pro-Bible arguments rest on a single and simple line of reasoning: “it could not have been written by humans without divine intervention.” But that is patently false. For each segment of the Bible, there is a perfectly human explanation as to how — and why, when, where, and by whom — it was written.

            Now you can say: “the whole is larger than the sum of its parts.” I won’t argue against that. I’ll note that any believer in any religious script could say that, and because this argument is based on subjective judgement — and, as such, is unfalsifiable — there is no point arguing against it.

            We could go over each and every part of the Bible, and I could do my best to explain to you the circumstances of its writing to the best of my knowledge, and at the end of the day, you could still say: “the whole is larger than the sum of its parts,” and I’d have nothing to use as a counter-argument, because you would be making an argument that superficially sounds objective, when in really it is purely subjective.

            The religious believer is thus left with: “I understand that the Bible could have been written by humans without any divine intervention, by I still choose to believe that a divine intervention has occurred, because [reasons].” Again, I’ll leave it at that, because at that point the discussion is usually inundated with a whole host of unfalsifiable statements.

            To make an analogy – have you sen these?:

            http://www.unknown5.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Petroglyphs-Of-Val-Camonica.jpg

            You see: if you *want* to believe, then why not? We’ve been visited by those from the “outside.” Sure. Is there a human explanation not requiring an arrival of extra-terrestrial beings to Earth for these drawings? Yes, there is. But if you acknowledge that, then say: “yeah, okay, but I still think that it’s more likely to be an actual documentation of ancient astronauts,” I really am left with no counter-argument. Whatever, m8.

            I do believe in a higher power, in that I believe that there is a being that makes things that are statistically unlikely to happen happen. But that also is a subjective judgement, which is why I don’t go around proclaiming my gospel. In my purely subjective view, “God” is not necessarily the creator of the world, nor is he involved in everything that happens in the world. Sometimes, though — by no means often — He makes things happen that would not have ‘naturally’ happened.

            (I’d share a room with you in an asylum – no homo)

            I have found no reason to link any ‘unnatural’ event that happened in my personal life to any specific religion; I do, however, link those events to an awesome higher being (God) endowed with superpowers. As far as God’s influence over history, I *suspect* that He is kind of an antisemitic troll, and that there *could be* a supernatural force behind Christianity (which is not the same as “Christianity is the truth”), but that’s about as far as I’d be willing to go with my speculations about the nature of divine influence over worldly events unrelated to my personal life.

            One last thing: as a white man, you can come up with a religion more impressive than OT + NT. That’d be better for you than believing that ancient Jews had known the truth about God.

              As a white man, with some prior knowledge of the issues with the Jews in my country and elsewhere, I was delighted to read in the OT so far how hopeless the Jews generally are. All of them. If the bible were just written by men for men, by Jews, they definitely would have edited out their many stupid moves against God. Even when He was up on Mount Sinai with Moses they became impatient and made a golden calf to worship (and He’d just rescued them and fed them manna). They’re terrible people most of the time. But all of that is included, which adds to its authenticity for me.

              I can’t help myself, I can’t just come up with something better than the OT and NT. All I can do is read them, study them, and see where it takes me. If I eventually conclude it’s all fake, I’ll move on. I would be surprised if that happens though, based on my reading so far.

          Le happy afterlife merchant demands you hate and forsake your own blood and soil, and even your own life. (Luke 14:26, Matthew 19:27-30, John 12:25) Which detracts from science and inventiveness, and tends towards this form of pious lethargy:

            Heh, you’re clutching at straws now my friend.

            I was 49 years as an atheist, was perfectly happy. But I dodn’t hassle Christians. How sad a life that would be.

            The truth just happened to fall into my lap. Still perfectly happy.

            My own personal salvation and the afterlife is not what has made me a believer. If it all proves to be false when I die, I will take my lumps then.

            In the meantime, by following God’s laws, I’l live a good life and do good by my fellow men. I doubt you have any idea how to even define good? Clearly some bitterness towards Christians flows through you, I wonder why (I know why, satan has you).

            If you want to have a pop at me and my faith every day, keep going, you’ll tire before I do, and you’ll never make a substantive point that I can’t disprove. All you hater-atheists are like broken records, boring.

            And whatever you do, accept that men can marry men, and that girls can be boys, and that races can live happily together, and that usury is a good thing. Because we all know those are your truths. Heh, prog cuck.

                You are projecting twenty first century sensibilities into times and places where they are grossly inappropriate.

                In times and places where homosexuals get thrown from high buildings, men feel free to express their affection for each other in ways unthinkable today.
                Homosexuals are a signaling hazard. If King David dare not love Jonathan, this undermines elite cohesion. This is precisely why we need to throw homosexuals from high buildings, so that very masculine men are free to carry on like that.

                  No, Jim, I’m not. /wiki/Pederasty_in_ancient_Greece A young beardless boy laying in the bosom of an older bearded man indicates pederasty, then and now. You’re glossing the degenerate parts of the New Testament that nobody wants to admit are degenerate.

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.” 25 Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

                  How the hell did you arrive at homoeroticism from this? Where’s the “beardless young boy”? C’mon, some male-male intimacy used to be a thing, and in this case that isn’t even intimacy – they were squatting next to each other, like Slavs. At least, that’s how I imagine it to have occurred, not being a педик.

                  Are you saying that the Essenes shunned women because they were a bunch of homos?

                • Hank Rearden says:

                  “Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved” is the way a more honest translation reads.

                  If you’re snuggled into the bosom of some other man, and openly in love, don’t be surprised if folks think you’re a degenerate faggot. Especially when, in context, that kike-faggot Jesus:

                  1. Banned normal male-female relations in his perverted utopia, in favor of angelic androgyny. (Matt. 22:30)

                  2. Encouraged men to transition to a less manly physique by castration. (Matthew 19:11-12)

                  3. Mocked normal men’s sex drive towards women. (Mark 9:47, etal)

                  4. White-knighted for whoring skanks. (John 8:4-11)

                • Your Wife's Son says:

                  That a Wotanist like you could miss it that Jesus was Loki in disguise, trolling the hell out of the Jews, is incomprehensible. Anyway…

                  >Banned normal male-female relations in his perverted utopia, in favor of angelic androgyny.

                  The Buddhist concept of transmigration tells you that you are karmatically connected to everything and anything in the world, in a sense that your inner essence or “energy” could take, or has taken, the shape of a male, female, human, animal, object – it’s all one thing anyway, maaan. I guess Buddha was a conniving Heeb.

                  >Encouraged men to transition to a less manly physique by castration.

                  Now, you see, there is legitimate criticism to be made here, but you have missed it. The problem is not that some men opt for castration for whatever reasons – it is actually better off that some men get castrated, it’s also better off when some females get hysterectomy. Transfiguration isn’t always transsexualism.

                  Rather, the legitimate criticism is that Jesus proclaimed eunuchism to be holy. That’s indeed “problematic,” I have to admit, since you don’t want infertile men to have higher status than fertile men, just as you don’t want infertile women to have higher status than fertile women – TFR is sacred.

                  But then again, I don’t see many eunuchs prancing around nowadays, nor was it ever an exceptionally common practice, so does it really matter?

                  >Mocked normal men’s sex drive towards women.

                  Would you rather he said: “leer at any cunt who passes by, and constantly ponder the joys of shagging?” Would that — unlike his actual words — *not* have made him sound like a kike pervert? The Jews are notoriously horny perverts, so Jesus gave them a good dominatrix performance, humiliating them for their sexuality. I lol’d.

          I appreciate you starting on Rushdoony. He lived in different times; he pushed the message as far as he could without losing his audience entirely. But for the Sabbath stuff, he concluded it was Sunday, and based on the information available back then, that was reasonable. When I share the info I’ve learned, it blows the whole Saturday/Sunday debate out of the water; some amazing fulfillments of prophecies.

          • jim says:

            The point of setting a day of rest is to make sure everyone takes time off at the same time so that believers will socialize with believers. It really does not have to be any particular day.

            The correct way to do it would be to make sure that every fourth day of rest occurred on a full moon, plus local rest days locked to the solar year rather than the moon timed to coincide with local harvests and the availability of local seasonal foods, plus special rest days locked to the solar year and local harvest festivals rather than the moon, commemorating real and mythical events that provide social cohesion.

            • Hank Rearden says:

              Our pre-Christian ancestors once enjoyed the correct way, a lunisolar calendar as you describe.

              “They assemble, except in the case of a sudden emergency, on certain fixed days, either at new or at full moon; for this they consider the most auspicious season for the transaction of business.” -Tacitus [wiki/Germanic_calendar]

            • Mycroft Jones says:

              Why have separate solar and lunar years, rather than a combined luni-solar calendar? The signs in the sun moon and stars are simple enough to read, and universal in scope.

              • peppermint says:

                A year that doesn’t start on a new moon isn’t a lunar year, and a year that doesn’t start on xmas isn’t a solar year. 365 day solar year for profane things, things men care about, that need to take weather into account. 13 month lunar year for social/sacred events.

    I would be interested in hearing what you do for estrogen control.

    • jim says:

      0.15 anastrozole every two days. Lots of people use 0.5mg every day. But watch it, too much anastrozole will crash your estrogen below healthy male levels – resulting in turning you into an old woman – no morning wood, irrationally emotional, morally weak. On the other hand, too much estrogen will also kill your morning wood and cause you to be irrationally emotional. Not to mention that too much variation in estrogen levels, up and then down again, will cause you to be irrationally emotional and will mess up your sex drive in strange ways. Male estrogen needs to be stable, moderate, and middle of the road. The fatter you are, the harder it is to keep estrogen stable and moderate. That I take that amount of anastrozole should not imply that someone else should take that amount. Check your estrogen levels, and your morning woodie. Regular morning woodie and usual sexual inclinations means your estrogen level is probably OK. Too much estrogen is bad for males, too little estrogen is bad for males, and changes in estrogen level are bad for males. So taking too little is less risky than taking too much.

    It’s long been known that meat is warrior food. More generally, it’s what you eat if you want to get work done. I have no need to lose weight. The health penalties for falling off the wagon are immediate and obvious.

    Gravy isn’t really wheat based. It’s vegetable (e.g. broccoli) stock that’s had meat cooked in it. It’s not viscous without starch, but it’s still gravy. Alternatively, you can take roast drippings and cook vegetables in them. Still best to boil out most of the water, though.

    Test: have some straight meat juices. Then cook vegetables in it and try it again.
    You can also do this: remember what steamed vegetables taste like. Steam some vegetables. Drown in butter, and compare.

  24. Ketoking says:

    You can easily replace wheat/gluten in gravy by using inulin (chicory root) and konjac root flour. That also adds lots of fermentable fiber.

    • EH says:

      Or arrowroot, which works better than flour for thickening by far. It needs to be mixed with a bit of not-hot fluid before going in the sauce or it will make gooey lumps. Still a carb, but the amount is trivial unless you’re on the Homer Simpson regimen:

      Dr. Hibbert: Your cholesterol level is lethally high, but I’m more concerned about your gravy level…

      Homer Simpson: Now, wait a second, you doctors have been telling us to drink eight glasses of gravy a day.

      • peppermint says:

        Or just onions, onions cook down into sauce. Some meat fat and juice can mix into creamy cheese sauce. Lots of ways to replace that which hides the lack of food ingredients with food, or you can mix in more queer powders from tropical islands.
