We are all white nationalists now

Including Elizaneth Heng, an east Asian child of Cambodian refugees and a moderately left wing Republican candidate.

When she took out a campaign ad reminding people that socialism is a murderous disaster, she was a racist, a sexist, a misogynist, a white nationalist, and all that. And similarly, if you try to discuss the facts on global warming, you are suffering from toxic masculinity. Obviously the only possible reason for disagreeing with plans to destroy the economy and murder millions of people is that you hate women and nams. If you disagree with the self appointed saviors of humanity, that constitutes violence against them – violence motivated by racism and sexism.

Recently esr called me a disgusting racist. I have no idea why. I did not ask him and if I had asked him would not have received a coherent answer, because to answer would be to acknowledge some thought crime or other. They cannot acknowledge thought crimes even while denouncing them.

The left has a paranoid style of discourse, where every word, every fact, and every thought is scrutinized for patriarchy, misogyny, homophobia, racism and all that, and not just the left, but the entire mainstream right, including esr, has responded with no friends to the right, no enemies to the left. When the left decide someone is a racist Nazi misogynist and proceed to punish the evildoer, the mainstream right enthusiastically goes along in the hope of being the last to be thrown to crocodiles, but these days, they are feeding people to the crocodiles faster. Having no friends to the right just does not work any more.

The left is increasingly open about its intent to eliminate the Republican party, punish them for having been Republicans, and get rid of the fifty percent of the population who profile as likely Republican voters.

Denouncing those to your right as hateful racists and ignoring hate facts in front of your nose is just not working any more. If the Democrats regain power, Trump is going to jail, shortly to be joined by his family, and not long thereafter his family, and soon after that most of the Republican party, cucks and rinos included, then people who cling to their guns, then …

The reason socialism tends to be so astonishingly murderous is that it tends to this paranoid style. Without the paranoia, it still needs killing fields, but it is no more murderous than Hitler was.

Socialism is knocking over the apple cart to produce an abundance of apples, and for a short while, there is indeed an abundance of apples. But very shortly thereafter, a severe apple shortage. Which must be caused by evil witches casting evil spells, because it could not possibly be caused by knocking over the apple cart. So they go looking for the evil witches casting the evil spells, and the paranoid style of discourse that we see on the left (and the mainstream right, including esr) tells me they are going to go looking for the evil witches very hard indeed, and will therefore find a great many, esr and Scott Alexander among them.

    I have a new theory (maybe its not new) on the stubborn stupidity and inability to learn of wignats.

    Plenty of wignats are exposed to the flaws in their worldview and what the real reactionary truth is… but the reason they cannot embrace the reactionary truth goes beyond shilldom and stupidity though stupidity is a factor.

    A lot of them in the profoundly unegalitarian society we would have would be very near the bottom of the hierarchy (what they don’t realize is how badly most of them would end up being treated in say Nazi Germany) with almost no chance of ever rising up. I think subconsciously they realize this and as such cling to their fantasy of a socialist whitemanistan which will somehow manifest if they keep repeating that Hitler did nothing wrong and naming the jew 1000 times a day.

    • jim says:

      Not seeing it, except for obvious shills.

      Andrew Anglin is wingnat, arguably the most influential wingnat and he seems OK. Wrong about a lot of things, but not that socialist, and when the State Department is causing trouble somewhere, he says the State Department is causing trouble, not Tel Aviv is causing trouble.

      He says “yet more astroturfed Western meddling”, not “the Joos”. And when he does rant about “the Joos” it is George Soros and company in the cross hairs, not the government of Israel, whom the shills target.

      Hating George Soros and the Southern Poverty Law center is totally sane and reasonable. They give all Jews a bad name.

      Robert Spencer is arguably a wingnat, not sure if he would deny it, and he is quite sane.

      After Andrew Anglin names the State Department, he will then mention the Jews, but some Jews were always involved in the matter in some way. He does not tell us that the whole thing was caused by evil Jewish mind rays.

      Anglin pays too much attention to the matador’s cape, but unlike the shills, does not ignore the matador’s sword. Rather he says “Hey, look at the sword.” Then after telling us about the sword, mentions that the cape has been flapping around in the vicinity.

      Also he has failed to notice that our treasonous elite is increasingly employing dot Indians rather than Jews to run operations hostile to the native population.

    Socialism or Communism light has always been about overthrowing some ruling class by using the dead weight of the disenfranchised as a battering ram. Every instance in history resulted in genocide. The international clique is painting Whites as their scape goat presently.

  3. Anon says:

    For example the mainstream media tells simultaneously tells Britons that no deal exit is going to ruin British farmers by forcing them to sell food at lower prices, and will also raise food prices in the supermarket, both articles appearing at the same time in the same newspaper. Much as they cover climate change.

    It’s all amply deserved by the ample majority of the drones/subjects, and if you are someone who neither is a drone/subject nor a élite member (in spirit, if not in fact), all you can do is be frustrated beholding the never-changing show.

    I just read an article where a tennis chair umpire’s career is going to be ended for good because he said, to a 16 or 17 years old ball girls, the following words: “You are very sexy”, “I like you very much”, “Are you hot? [The girl was sweaty] Physically hot or mentally hot?”.
    You should see how 100% of the male commenters to the article commented things like “To say things like that to a less than 18 years old girl is the worst crime a man can commit”, “I hope the girls and her parents file a lawsuit against him, it’s not just about never letting him referee again, it’s about penal relevance too”. And so on.

    To witness the gusto with which men go at other men, anytime they can find an excuse to do so, is… well, it makes you think men not only deserve their lower-caste state compared to women, but they basically deserve to have no rights vis-a-vis women, as they soon won’t, and mostly haven’t already.

    (Same thing for other issues: if Whites’ favourite hobby is to virtue-signal at the expense of their co-racials, then they deserve to be bossed around in every way by a 2% minority in the countries where they are the majority. And it happens because they deserve it, it couldn’t happen otherwise.)

    “The left has a paranoid style of discourse, where every word, every fact, and every thought is scrutinized for patriarchy, misogyny, homophobia, racism and all that”

    That’s what the style of discourse (and thought!) will be for the side that feels secure they are the majority and the more powerful of the contenders when dealing with the side they feel sure has less power.
    Left or right… if the media academia and the rest of the mouths of real government started being on the right from tomorrow, you’d see the some people switch around and change the names they’d call the new group seen as less powerful, but act the very same way as now.

    When they are confident they are “winning”, it becomes harder for them to not let the distance between nice-speak and what what they say actually is about and means show.

    >wingnats

    It’s not about them. It’s about reclaiming the label.

    There’s white nationalism – a nation of whites, white supremacism – you can have a nation of any races as long as whites rule, civic nationalism – you can have a nation of any races as long as they are effectively white, and fairy tales – anything with a neo- prefix.

    Of these, white nationalism is the lowest difficulty setting. It should not just be a legitimate option, it should be the default option, the normal option. Not relegated to the ideological fringes and populated by the leftmost part of the bell curve.

And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

                  The civil war was the holiness spiralled state religion of New England, already holier than Jesus, conquering the state religions of the separate states. They declared their superior holiness frequently, and one of the sticks that they used to denounce all those less holy than their very holy selves was “all men are created equal”. And, victorious, “all men are created equal” continues to spiral to ever greater heights of holiness and madness.

                  Abolitionists were on the side of the Union for their own quasi-religious reasons, but they didn’t drive the conflict. Religious reasons never drive these conflicts, because religion, like history, is a post-hoc phenomenon. In history, in retrospect, you can pick out the important sequence of events, but in the moment nobody really knows how anything is going to turn out. Religion is like that. In the moment, nothing feels like anything because water is wet, and the best you’re going to get is a Señor Beto coming out and announcing his gun-grabbing plans as the designated jackboot facemask of the State. Your “holiness spiral” theory isn’t predictive except as it happens to coincide with the underlying structural phenomena of demography, culture, power dynamics, and so on. Trump for President 2030.

                  I don’t entirely agree about the American civil war and “holiness” the William Lloyd Garrison’s were only one Republican faction and a smaller one.

                  Free soilers dominated the party and free soilers mainly didn’t want diversity in the territories (and where were they wrong I entirely agree with the free soilers), they were fine with it in the existing Southern States and Lincoln was willing to support an unamendable amendment that slavery in the Southern states could not be touched for decades anyway.

                  According Wikipedia “the consensus view among modern economic historians and economists is that the “costs imposed on [American] colonists by the trade restrictions of the Navigation Acts were small.” – which agrees with the arguments presented by people at the time who were not fans of the Revolutionary war.

                  > they were fine with [slavery] in the existing Southern States

                  John Brown and Bloody Kansas was the real start of the war of Northern Aggression, and consisted largely of organized large scale acts of terrorism and murder by abolitionists given impunity by the holiness of their very holy home states, after the fashion of antifa, only far more so and rapidly escalating. Under these circumstances, Lincoln’s conciliatory offers were rendered irrelevant by events.

                • The Cominator says:

                  John Brown was killed though, the civil war started in the territories partially due to fanatics but it wasn’t bound to escalate into armies until the South not the North pushed things to war when Lincoln was willing to give the South total guarantees within their own states (while taking a hard line on the territories).

                  Nothing I’ve read about Lincoln makes me think he was a Lloyd Garrison/John Brown style fanatic.

                  The man who won the war for the North William Tecumseh Sherman (he won it not Grant) fucking hated antislavery fanatics AND lived in the South for a long time before the war, he still blamed the Southern Aristocracy for it.

                  War will start, and will escalate, if those who commit warlike acts are not restrained and punished by their own side. They were not being restrained and punished.

      • pdimov says:

        It actually did.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924

        “As a result, populations poorly represented in 1890 were prevented from immigrating in proportionate numbers—especially affecting Italians, Jews, Greeks, Poles and other Slavs.[1][3][4] According to the U.S. Department of State Office of the Historian, the purpose of the act was “to preserve the ideal of U.S. homogeneity.”[2] Congressional opposition was minimal.”

        I suppose that was prompted by

        “From 1901 to 1914, 2.9 million Italians immigrated, an average of 210,000 per year.[23]”

        14 years isn’t exactly “generations of replacement migration”.

        • Not Tom says:

          Doesn’t this point away from white nationalism?

          The Naturalization Act of 1790 used the phrase “free white person”. Then, over a hundred years later, Americans almost uniformly and uncontroversially said “whoa, hold on there, we didn’t really mean all white people!”

          And yet, the white nationalist movement is predicated on saying “yes, all white people”.

          A movement that simply sought to preserve today’s demographics would be more intellectually consistent at least – albeit not very effective, considering that today’s demographics are only 60% white.

          • Samuel Skinner says:

            The problem is white nationalists are using white in three different ways. Lets break them up; Amerikaneer, Hagnal and white pan-nationalism. The first is all white people who identify as Americans, the second is whites inside the Hagnal line and the third is all white people (with the borders of white being defined by Christianity).

            So Hagnal only immigration sort of works as does low levels that don’t tilt Amerikaneer ethnic make up in favor of any one group.

            White pan-nationalism is sort of nuts and only really is on the table is whites are united under a single banner. Which is about as likely as Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg unifying.

          • pdimov says:

            White nationalism is the most restrictive of the currently existing options. Yes, “all white people” is worse than “some white people”, but the “some white people” option isn’t even on the menu.

          • Anonymous 2 says:

            Don’t forget that, for better or worse and as pointed out in the title of this article, the enemy provides the definition of ‘white’. Hence, it’s been quite ineffectual to point out that ‘my ancestors weren’t even in America during slavery’, etc. No wriggling out of this, I’m afraid.

            On the mildly more positive side, perhaps it helps to consider that white nationalism is, like some other examples, a big tent movement where one tries to emphasize likenesses and common interest rather than parse out differences. Unfortunately, it’s not very successful in Current Year.

It was white academics who brought radicalized minorities into academia in order to further “diversity.” A struggle for cultural and political dominance, moreover, goes on even in countries where nonwhites are politically insignificant. Indeed, the European left has worked to improve their hand by importing Third World, non- Christian populations. After he left office, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair admitted to doing precisely this. The depiction of our cultural wars as based exclusively or primarily on race misrepresents what’s happening. Our most numerous adversaries in the struggle for Western civilization are white, and often belong to an affluent white elite.

            Sulla’s solution failed. I’m not sure what repeating it would accomplish.

            • jim says:

              Sulla’s solution lasted quite a while. His problem was that he was trying to restore a republic that was already dead for an aristocratic elite that was failing to reproduce.

              But he permanently terminated a left wing singularity that was under way. The result however was neither empire under a King, nor a restored republic, resulting in a long period of trouble and disruption – but the way things had been going, Rome would have been destroyed.

              The underlying problem that Sulla failed to fix was elite failure to reproduce. But he unequivocally fixed the left singularity, and it stayed fixed.

              Augustus fixed the problem of regime instability by making himself God King – he recruited, or lucked out on, Virgil. Rule by warriors failed to stick, until they got a priesthood on side – well he solved the problem of regime instability and mobile banditry, but he failed to solve the problem of dysgenic elite reproduction.

              He backed the authority of the father, but did so at the expense of the husband, and, surprise surprise, women continued to screw around. If you want the elite to care about the future, and if you want eugenic reproduction, they have to have sons, and if you want them to have sons, husbands have to be alpha to their wives. Elite marriage has to give the husband authority over his wife, and end the authority of the father over his daughter. That is the whole business of “who giveth this woman to this man?”

              God Kings suck, because everyone knows it is a lie. The solution is divine right, the King was appointed by God and rules under God. The left still has George the fourth derangement syndrome, because he refused to be appointed regent by parliament. Unfortunately, once George derangement syndrome set it, George was too fat and lazy to deal with it as it needed to be dealt with, and Kingly power evaporated, despite his initial and successful assertion of divine right.

                  People tend to believe authority, so if the state backed priesthood (in the case of Augustus, the mainstream media) pronounce it to be so, why should they disbelieve? Particularly if to get on with all the right people, you need to believe it.

                  If George the Fourth got away with it, Trump should have no problems. Or better, Trump’s son.

If they can disbelieve what is in front of their faces and disrupting their work, they can believe that which is unfalsifiable.

                  Look at any woman in authority over men. Alpha males love having beta males around, but women in authority cannot stand having them around, and spontaneously and instinctively act to drive them away – act to drive away employees, customers, and shareholders. And no one can see it.

                  Nuts. I know what it says.

                  There is no way you can get the social justice bible out of King James Bible.

                  It is not that hard to read. No women’s rights, no divorce on female demand, submission to earthly authorities acting lawfully in their proper sphere. (Hence divine right of Kings) Christians are encouraged, but not required, to free their own slaves, and forbidden to free other people’s slaves. Men should love their wives (plural) women should respect their husband (singular).

                  You are supposed to be generous with your own property, not other people’s property. Pay your just debts on time, particularly to employees.

                  No killing, no stealing, and no coveting. The Social Justice Bible is all coveting and stealing, which from time to time escalates to mass killing.

                  No adultery, where adultery is defined with sex the way it is with beer – no actions that obscure paternity or prevent a man from raising his own children. A man cannot sleep with another man’s wife or betrothed, and a woman may only sleep with her husband. Wives and husband are required to sexually gratify each other. You cannot get women’s liberation out of that. Women have absolutely no right to have sex with whosoever they please, or refrain from having sex with their husbands. None of this crap about consenting adults. Consent is absolutely irrelevant to whether sex is legitimate or not. Consent is only relevant to a woman’s guilt in illegitimate sex – that she did not consent does not make legitimate sex wrongful, and that she did consent does not make illegitimate sex rightful.

                  Sodomites suffer gay diseases which reflect the wrath of God, and should be cast out (New Testament) or killed (old Testament). Sodomites also behave badly in a wide variety of ways in addition to sodomy.

                  Contractual marriage (female consent to marriage) is an eleventh century addition. In the bible consent is preferable, but by no means required, marriage being a deal between patriarchs for grandchildren.

          Have you looked at the primary sources for the bible? If you can’t read Hebrew or Greek the answer is no. Christiand and Jews understanding of their own text is crap because they have a basis, they have a bias in making the texts as relevent to modern times as possible. They cannot give proper respect to the writers who lived in a very different world.

          Let’s take the apocalypse of Christianity as an example. Every scholarly treatment on I have seen says the writers and followers of the religion believed the world was going to end in their life-time. Yet there is a not a single Christian who would say that the second of coming of Christ was supposed to happen in the 1st or 2nd centuary–to do so would be to discredit the entire religion.

          This isn’t a small detail. It helps explain why Paul wants his followers to not have children, why the apostles did not seem to care they were executed by the state, why Jesus insists his followers must sell everything they own. Because there is no sense in caring about continuing one’s lineage, having material positions, or valuing a long life if the world will end in a few decades. The idea that we must ‘sustain our race’ is in an utter contrast to this. There are probably so called Christians that do not even consider ‘the apocalypse’ into their thinking at all. The idea that all political disputes will be solved when Jesus comes to earth on a brigade of angels and establishes himself as the world monarch is too alien for us.

          This is why the religion is becoming worthless. Jim is correct that the bible teaches that God is a monarch and we must obey, but monarchs derive their authority through their ability to punish disobedience. In other words that king jesus will literally raise your ex-wife’s soul from the dead and send her to the dungeons of hell because she divorced raped you. If he isn’t going to do that than his commandments no longer matter–and your ex wife knew that. All the emasculated alt-righters paying alimony still don’t know that…

            You have been reading the social justice bible. Paul of the actual bible laid down commands that made Christianity a fertile religion in a Roman Empire suffering population collapse and replacement. Paul of the actual bible expected Bishops to have families. His abstinence statements have been holiness spiraled – I read the Church fathers holiness spiraling them, and they are obvious scum, using the debating tricks that I do not tolerate on this blog. It is like the Jews attributing latest theological innovations, twentieth and twenty first century, to Moses.

                  Paul said something to the effect that if Jesus did not rise from the grave than the religion is pointless (literally rise, not some Jordan Peterson metaphorical rise). This is because if Jesus could not become immortal than neither can any of his followers. And this promise of immortality was the entire point of the religion for Paul–not to sustain a society as you want to twist him to mean. You’re talking about how bishops followed Paul’s order of celebacy, as if the medieval concept of a bishop had anything to do with his teachings. He wanted NO one to have sex, because he that the world would end any day (would you have children if you beleived that). If Paul and his followers became convinced their religion could not get them immortality they would have abounded all the teachings of their religion and declared the whole thing a lie.

                  Another juicy bit. Paul’s belief was that the Jesus who walked on the earth was not an authority figure in the religion and the real word of God were the voices in his head. Paul guy was in a theological squabble with James and co. James not only personally knew Jesus, being his brother, but as per Rabbinical practices of family-succession would have been head of the very church Jesus founded. James and co knew Paul was full of shit and his teachings were not the same as Jesus, so Paul had to come up with this idea in order to have any grounds to argue.

                  This idea of Paul would be considered a heresy of the highest of rank by his immediate predecessors (or even by the Gospel of John). It almost sounds like Gnostism. So both Paul’s understanding of sex and of the very nature of God was drastically different than all other Christians that followed them, because they were not sustainable ideas at all. People need to have children, and if hearing voices in your head is the highiest of divine authories there can be no order.

                  But what you are really missing here Jim, which is where the entire system of Christianity breaks down, is that Paul is not Christianity. Jesus is Christianity, and if Paul not only didn’t know Jesus but was seen an an enemy by the people that did know him this makes him a CORRUPTER of the religion. Modern scholarly conesus is that all 4 of the Gospels were written in Greek (the agreement is that a number of the lines would not have been written as they are if they were translated from Aramiac or hebrew). This means the writings are something different from the teachings Jesus, which was a Jewish-only movement and what sort of Jew would record holy writings in Greek? And since Paul was the guy that introduced the religion to Greek-speaking people it means all the writings NOT by Paul are written by Paul tainted by him. This is corruption on a MASSIVE scale. It means the entire chain of theology from Paul, to Augestine, to Jim is based on reading HERETICAL WRITINGS. It is a massive crisis of authority in which every single line in the bible now becomes suspect. There was so much competetion between rival Christian factions, each calling the other a heretic, that it is not a wild assumption that must of the teachings in the bible are not at all representative of the origenal, and just represent the winning factions shoving their own ideas into the mouth of the messiah. Is the voice in Paul’s head really anything else than his own opinion? The guy has a seizure on the road to Damascus hear’s voices in his head from his schizproena which he attributes to ‘the holy spirit’ and so this mentally ill Jew becomes a sage? How did Christians go so fucking long without realizing the guy was a con and could not possibly be part of the same religion as Jesus. Centuaries of noses shoved in their book and they don’t notice the most basic of things. Retards that know absolutly nothing about their own book. The concentration camps for Christians cannot come soon enough.

                  Paul did not order celibacy nor found a celibate order. You are lying about what Paul said. Celibacy is for those called to it, and Paul did not expect the Church to be composed or run by people called to it.

                  The church has an earthly mission, as well as a divine mission. To address the earthly mission does not reject the divine mission.
                  The problem with denying the earthly mission of Christianity is that it is done to leave room for Christianity to adopt the earthly mission of progressivism.

                  Our current state religion is based on lies. Instead of being required to believe in things unseen, we are required to disbelieve in things seen, such as the differences between races and sexes.

                  When the Church goes along with the lies, it rejects both its earthly and divine missions.

                  You repeat Orthodox Jewish lies about Christianity, and progressive lies about Christianity, any mud that comes handy, regardless of its source. The stuff you are telling comes from a multitude of sources, each of them hostile to Christianity for different and entirely contradictory reasons.

                  One faction hostile to Christianity came up with unreasonable conclusions through motivated reasoning, and another faction hostile to Christianity came up with unreasonable conclusion through motivated reasoning for completely different and contradictory motives, and you are giving us the motivated conclusions that all these very different factions reached.

                The Eastern Orthodox church knows that the push to mandate priestly celibacy resulted from a holiness spiral, and attempted to nip it in the bud. It was first imposed at a local council in Spain the early 300s, then floated for universal adoption at the first ecumenical council, in 325.

                However, St. Paphnutius, himself a celibate monk since his teenage years, rose and declared:

                that too heavy a yoke ought not to be laid upon the clergy; that marriage and married intercourse are of themselves honorable and undefiled; that the Church ought not to be injured by an extreme severity, for all could not live in absolute continency.

                This was the end of the matter as far as the Eastern churches were concerned, and to this day married men may become Orthodox priests.

                In the West, however, local councils continued the imposition of priestly celibacy, at first de jure and then de facto.

                I suppose this may have been due to the greater temporal power of the Western clergy in a region with weaker secular government leading to increased holiness spirals vis-a-vis the situation in the East, where imperial power was stable much longer. Or maybe the West’s greater susceptiblity to holiness spirals is in its DNA.

            And what if we have read the original Hebrew or Greek? Not that it matters, as there are plenty of good, faithful English translations, generally labeled under the “archaic” category. Just don’t read the ones produced in the 20th century or later.

            Again, it’s the CNN argument: “don’t bother looking at the source, you wouldn’t understand it anyway, here let me explain to you what it really says…”.

            Nope. You are preaching heresy, and there will be consequences for you, maybe in the next world but preferably in this one.

            Commies.

            The words and the conduct of the apostles was that the world might well end in their lifetimes, but, just in case, better build for a thousand years.

            Every scholarly treatment is full of bare faced lies easily falsified. Their real belief is that the bible is a dangerously radioactive thought crime that needs to be neutralized lest it explode again.

            Among the notable lies of every scholarly treatment is that the books of the New Testament were written late. But the Acts of the apostles ends right in the middle, before the execution of Saint Paul and persecution of the Jewish Christians of Jerusalem just beginning. The prophesies of the fall of the temple were obviously written up before the temple fell. If written late, would cover the persecution of the apostles and the flight from Jerusalem.

            Since the Books of the New Testament was written while they still lived, with the exception of Revelations, if they believed the world was definitely going to end in their lifetimes and therefore no point in taking care for the future, would have said so. Rather, they hinted darkly that the end of the world likely coming real soon now.

            Every scholarly treatment of the Bible tells us that the Bible really says X, when it plainly says Y, the same crap as Dalrock is always denouncing. And if someone points at the Bible saying Y, the scholars then tell us that they know what the Apostles really said, and if the Bible says something different, that is because it was not written until four hundred years afterwards. If this stuff was written up late, how come you can read all about Saint Paul and Saint James in the Bible, and not get a clue about their executions? Their executions made it into the history books. If they did not make it into the books of the New Testament, that means the books of the New Testament were finalized within the lives of the apostles.

            There is not a hairsbreadth of difference between any scholarly treatment of the Bible and a blue haired crew cut lesbian pastor congratulating Jesus on aspiring to be as holy as her very holy self. They are both products of the religion of Harvard.

            Scholars do not in fact read old books for fear of contamination by thought crime, and I do not believe that the scholars who claim to read the Bible in original latin and greek would touch it with a ten foot pole. They base their writings on what other scholars said about what other scholars said about what other scholars said about the Bible.

            The reason every scholarly treatment says the same thing is because one microphone, a thousand megaphones. A decade or two ago every scholarly treatment said something different, and then suddenly they all simultaneously change their minds, say the new thing, and forget that they ever said anything different.

      • Yes, but I would put it different. Nations, ethnicities are subgroups of races. People in the old world identify with that. As people from various white nations intermarried in the US and created a new culture, the obvious thing for white Americans would be to identify as white Americans as simply a new ethnicity, a new nation. In fact, as whites were always the default Americans, this just what the American identity used to mean.

        So what we are seeing now is that in the freedom of the Internet young American men are discovering that they can have a racial identity. And instead of having a white racial identity and an American cultural, national, ethnic identity as its subset, which would be the most obvious normal logical thing to do, this is what a rightist Englishman or Frenchman does, they are willing to abandon the second and just identify with their race. Why? OK, part of the story is that because cultural conservatives are cucks, but it is still not a good idea. You need both.

        But I think there is another aspect. Given that most white nations have cucked out, and that includes the white American nation, I think there is the idea to rediscover in oneself a long-lost old ur-white nation, that was the ancestor of the rest, some kind of a viking-pagan thing, hence Odinis/Wotanism (which even Hitler considered retarded and tried to talk Himmler out of pushing it). So the idea could be that they collect the few, small percentage of a noncucks from all white nations and form a new white nation somewhere, likely in America, not very big, a few states, a few ten millions of people, clearly a workable size for a nation. And it is not even a stupid idea, this is Landian Exit.

        And it could even work with Anglos. The problem with us Continentals is that we are peasants, not farmers, our patriotism/nationalism includes a strong attachment to local geography. We just can’t do things like the English did, to go and recreate a mini England in somewhere like Rhodesia. For us a nation has a fixed geographical place. Nazis used “blood and soil” as an advertising slogan precisely because people were really feeling that way, feeling attached to the local soil, and every advertising and propaganda works by selling things by linking them to other things people already like. So we would likely not leave no matter what. (Of course, many left back then, many moved to America, but they were precisely the less patriotistic, less nationalistic sort.)

              You’re a bisexual deviant who falsely projects his bisexuality and deviance onto the rest of us. You swing in the direction of cock, balls, and hairy ass, whereas normal men (which you will never, ever be remotely considered to be) are attracted to fertile females of whatever age they happen to be, and especially to chicks who are nubile and perky. You are offensively, despicably low status among every community that has ever hosted your ramblings, first because your lipsticked mouth has evidently breathed on lots of dicks, and secondly becomes just about everything about you is abnormal, depraved, and disgusting.

              Your colorful bric-a-brac spam posts always betray your complete disassociation from normal and healthy male sexuality, because you’re here to rationalize your effeminate bisexual deviance – and that’s all you ultimately care about. I’m glad Mobutu crapped a ton into your throat.

        • The yearning for the “ur-white” is misidentified by the people participating in it; it is actually the desire to found a new race of whites. And this is quite a positive development. The wignats, at least the good ones, are now talking about nomadic banditry, maritime piracy, and war brides once the SHTF, not about populist uprisings and new Hitlers. As much as it is memes for now, this is the attitude that crushes a decaying civilization and founds a new elite, while the “political solution” merely empowers the bugmen.

          • The Cominator says:

            You are confusing wignats with admirers of the work of Bronze Age Pervert. BAP is no wignat he has about 100 iq points on them at least.

            • BAP is also downright weird, but has one very interesting point. Everybody, left and right, is thinking about liberty or freedom in the framework of legislation. BAP is saying plain simply living on the steppe (or American frontier) is freedom, living in the Eastern city is slavery, and living in a Western city is freeer only so far that it preserved some aspects of the steppe.

              This is interesting because at the end of the day people living in low population density places tend towards being fairly libertarian, and people living in high density places not simply because they interact more and thus need more rules to make that interaction work well. So I have a book about Aberdeen in 1200 and it is full of regulations like on which days are people allowed to drive their cattle to the slaughterhouse. Makes sense. No point in having cow traffic jams.

              This means these politics are kind of deterministic. Don’t live in the city. And don’t be ruled by city people. The rest will just work out.

                I think much of BAPs impopularity, such as it is, which is sort of vaguely disapproving, on this blog stems from the clientele here being towards the autistic/male/logical end of the mental spectrum whereas BAP is towards the schizotypal/female/ecstatic end.

                  This is an interesting way to put it. Do these map to cultures, like Anglo or German cultures more logical and French or Romance cultures more ecstatic?

                  I mean, I (autistic) from the European Continent tend to like Anglo and German cultures and strongly dislike the Frogs.

                  For example “Continental Philosophy” is a misnomer, as long as the Germans did it they strived to make something logical, although severely lacking in empiricism and common sense, and when the French took over it became a travesty. What Husserl tried to do was a honest effort even when too abstracted away from real life, what Deleuze did was IMHO pure faggotry. But I think Anglo analytical philosophy was even better than the German version of Continental as it was more down-to-earth, more empirical.

                  The mapping you suggest seems intuitively right to me too. I’m sure some would argue against it, pointing out differences among subgroups, combinations of tendencies, contingent characteristics and other things.

                  If a culture, f.x. the commentariat at blog.reaction.la adopts a certain spirit, this creates a feedback loop supporting this spirit as the one to use for success, so retards talking like fags don’t get traction here, while people talking like jim would get no traction among outraged white knighting facebook nationalists talking like retards, or among philosophy undergrads talking like fags.

                  Balanced against the average genetic psychic prophile of the cultists, this cultural spirit ought to have great sustainability, and make a persistent difference between fx germans and frogs, or among different priesthoods of philosophy departments.

                  Ah yes, the perennial gay excuse. I call it the CinemaSins excuse. Advance whatever stupidity one pleases, and then when called out on it, say “it’s just memes, bro! can’t you take a joke?”

                  Satire has a particular form, and what BAP is doing is not satire. Most people are pretty good at sniffing out when something that was clearly not intended as a joke is being retconned as a joke in order to avoid consequences. Even progressives know what a joke looks like, despite their performative outrage at the “wrong” kinds of jokes.

                • ten says:

                  I don’t think BAP ever uses satire and did neither say nor imply it.

                  If some statement in some context would pull someone in some mindset in some desired direction, and this effect is in aggregate greater than its opposite, the statement is effective in a common interpretation of the meaning of occult magic. Nietszche did not practice magic in such a tradition but was well read in it and his philosophy is mired in it. So is BAPs.

                  This reading of BAP is what i previously called “schizotypal(,feminine, ecstatic)”, which i am sure some psychological professional would raise loud and angry objections towards, while yours is clearly what i called autistic/male/logical. So, if he is thinking and talking like i think he is thinking and talking, your mode of reading him won’t hit home.

                  But hey, maybe hes a fag, i’m open for the possibility, it just goes against my prejudice, or judge of character. He certainly says a lot of gay shit, but i think it is reasonable to understand it as i understand it, and not as you understand it. If i am wrong, you are right.

                Don’t live in the city. It’s early 1918 and you have enough to eat, unlike the city dwellers. Every now and then you venture there and some starving “former person” trades you a silver bracelet for a dozen eggs.

                Don’t be ruled by city people. So far so good. The Bolsheviks have their hands full with the city and you never see them in your village, where everything runs just as it always has.

                Now, fast forward later in 1918. The Bolsheviks have consolidated power in the cities and are now able to spare a Red Army detachment. They arrive, seize your crop to feed the hungry proletariat, and collective your khutor. Two of your sons were shot for resisting and the rest of your family dies of starvation not long afterward.

            It wasn’t assigned low status, it was always low status. People should indeed take pride in their ancestry, and maybe to some extent their ethnicity, but Irish and Italian men and assorted mutts completely ignorant of their own ancestry staking claims to the achievements of the English, Dutch and Germans by lumping them all into “white” is desperate and pathetic.

            Elite movements are aristocratic. Dynastic, even. White nationalism is peasant, through-and-through, and it shows clearly in their inability to regulate their public behavior.

                • jim says:

                  Not seeing the problem. Our ideology is pervading the wingnats. Wingnat ideology is not pervading us. We need to debate the national socialists, not exclude the wingnats.

                  Wingnat ideology, in so far as they have one at all, is white male socialism. All whites are equal, white wealth gets redistributed among whites by a benevolent state. Sounds like a good idea, the catch is in “redistributed by a benevolent state”. In practice, you cannot even redistribute Jewish wealth, been tried many times, it just gets smashed up and what little survives just winds up in the hands of losers, who dissipate it at a slightly slower speed. When Jewish wealth is substantially in the form of debts owed to Jews, the solution is to prohibit usury – which Christians tried many times, but it turns out to be surprisingly complicated to do it a way that makes it work, and the practical and working form of usury prohibition is a lot gentler as well as more complex than what the wingnats have in mind.

                  We have been there before many times. The corrective is not to exclude wingnats, or even wingnat ideology, but to remember the lessons of the past. Despite being implemented by smart, prosocial, loyal, orderly, and cohesive elite, National Socialism self destructed in the usual fashion.

                  Also, if you have a highly interventionist white state, then you have a problem figuring out who is white, which problem the Nazis never satisfactorily solved. Do we want to exclude George Zimmerman? Do we want to exclude born in America affluent Japanese businessmen? That George Zimmerman upholds order, is always prepared, and can shoot one shot directly through the heart while his assailant is pounding his head on the concrete makes him my brother, or at least my neighbor.

                  If you are not redistributing white wealth among whites, you don’t have to figure out who is white. The elite have to figure out who is trustworthy, prosocial and cohesive with the elite – which obviously not all whites are, but if you have a white Christian elite, the prospects of a candidate being trustworthy, prosocial, and cohesive are a hell of a lot better if he is white Christian.

It’s like you based an entire religion off of the Ten Anti-Commandments. Murder, envy, theft, covetousness, distrust, uncooperativeness.

                  If, theoretically, we killed all muslims and took their shit, it would revert to the sovereign. Your wealth would go into his treasury and–the sovereign being the font of all honors–would distribute some of it to his best men. We would not give it away carelessly. Just waving a gun around does not qualify you to run a store. Successful organization of men and material is a better qualified. We can pass around your women, but the highest ranks still get the first choice.

                  Worse still, that assumes a war; that you fight back. Given your ultimately craven base nature, that is not a sure thing. Winning a fight is what makes it spoils of war.

                  Distributing booty of simple capital (women, jewels, cash etc) is simple.

                  Its not so simple for an unqualified person to take over a specialized business requiring specialized knowledge, nor do the former owners clients necessarily want to deal with some new guy who was awarded it by the government.

The Sovereign, being the market owner, will want to maximize his returns, meaning he is likely to at least attempt to satisfy the customers. To do that, he will probably chose those who have shown the ability to organize and plan ahead to own any businesses taken as spoils of war. That means generals and officers get to run the businesses, while the line troops get to satisfy themselves with your women.

                  Heretics and the excessively holy do not get to run businesses. Heretics get to be punished in status-lowering ways, refused state and quasi-state employment, and forced to find low status jobs.

Very few people know how to make a pencil, or even run a pizza shop, and running a pawnbrokerage or a distillery (pawnbrokers and distilleries being the primary target when you get rid of market dominant minorities) is an order of magnitude harder than running a pizza shop, though a lot easier than making pencils.

                  An interpretation which literally makes no sense according to the exact statements it’s supposedly interpreting. Jews are an ethnicity, whites are a broad racial category with very fuzzy boundaries (are Latin American Castizos “white”?).

                  We are not – or at least I am not – impressed by an ideology that purports to include everyone who looks a certain way, but excluding some people who look that way, and also including other people who don’t really look that way, and claim any logical consistency whatsoever. It looks like, and I assert that it is, a vain attempt to ingroup oneself with other people who don’t really think of them as ingroup, by creating totally arbitrary and subjective criteria for the ingroup. It is essentially the mirror image of “people of color”, which is every bit as ridiculous; African Americans who are 25-75% American have nothing to do with Indian H-1B workers who are 0% American. Another example of this silly artificial ingrouping is “Judeo-Christian values”.

                  You imply that it’s Jews who matter, when I’ve clearly stated it’s the definitions that matter. Chinese nationalism makes sense because the Han are one people. German nationalism (as in, the Nazis), makes sense, aside from the socialism part, because the Teutonics are one people. An “American nationalism” based on the English, Dutch and Germanic peoples who first settled the land would make sense, if it existed. All of these could, and would, outgroup the Jews. “White” nationalism does not make sense, because “whites” are not one nation, they are dozens of nations all smashed together under one empire and whom, if you actually look at the genetic ancestry, have surprisingly low levels of intermarriage, despite the erasure of their original culture.

                  A “white” person who is 25% Portguese, 25% Irish and 50% Italian has no more solidarity with a heritage American who is ~95% English and ~5% Dutch than does an Ashkenazi Jew who is 50% “mixed European”. They are both totally incoherent.

                Nuts

                When the socialists gained power, the working class did not do too well. Communism was always an elite movement that used the working class as mascots. Remember “All power to the Soviets”. Their position was always that the workers were misguidedly and mistakenly failing to support them, and when they could flay their skins off with red hot irons, then the working class would discover where its true interests lay.

                Communism, and progressivism, was and is a faith movement, with cohesion among a relatively small group of believers. The working class was and is irrelevant to what was done in their name, and always will be.

                Cohesive groups are always faith groups, and the group that takes power is never very large at all. It is always a handful that grabs power, because to grab power you need cohesion, and the larger the group, the harder it is to have cohesion. “The white race” is far too large and too diverse a group to take power.

                • Anonymous 2 says:

                  Of course the elites will get the lion part. Yet in the case of socialism the working class apparently still thought their elites pursued their collective interests in some tangible way, and organized into a globally powerful international movement.

                  That is not to say the closely knit crime family approach is not a viable way to power.

                  “The white race” is far too large and too diverse a group to take power.

                  Perhaps, though it currently seems like the American ‘white’ race is being defined by its enemies regardless of such objections, so overall it might be better to give it a try.

                  Commie history. Not what happened. Remember “all power to the Soviets” then they shot the guys the workers elected and created their own Soviets.

                  What happened is that the bureaucrats around the Czar did a coup when he was away at the front, found themselves unable to rule without a Czar, there was a succession of ever leftwards coups, each in the name of the people that they were busy terrorizing, the communists took power, and then found the power of the communist party becoming increasingly centralized, until Stalin finally shut down the ever leftwards movement.

                  Each coup was a smaller group with greater faith, zeal, and internal cohesion, taking power from a larger group with lesser faith, zeal, and internal cohesion.

                  Union based social democracy, like the swedish one, represented a to some extent genuine workers’ movement.

                  Normal voluntary unions don’t work because noone wants to pay for the unemployed scum in them, so either they are full of employed decent workers, so does nothing, or everyone leaves, and organization level of workers remains low.

                  The meta union, “the land organization”, enforced membership by terrorizing employers to only employ organized workers, and terrorizes workers to join and not work unorganized. It is in the interest of both employers and workers to not have terror and conflict, so the meta union is incentivized to not bleed employers to death. This terror balance worked, sort of. Things could have been more effective, and small businesses were in many cases left out of it.

                  The workers pulled the apple cart under constant threat of flipping it unless they got every single apple they could get their hands on. They were not marching towards communism, but under the flag of (potential, almost always dormant) terror, towards more apples.

                  They did it under the orders and occasional terror of a circle of believers including both elite who just loved the working class so, so much, and the smartest workers themselves.

                  It is objectively better than communism, at least..

                  I even forgot to mention the party. The socialist party is bankrolled by the land organization meta union, making their by terror mandatory membership instead mandatory by law, generally being a fucking nuisance, and bothering the balance between employers and union.

                  Finally, with the satanic ultra upper class commie cunt olof palme, in whose murder i take great pride that my father was briefly a suspect, and whose grave stinks of piss, they ditched the meta union, enslaving them as pay cows even though the “fascist party” now is the largest union party, and joining the american state religion instead.

            • >it was always low status

              Look into Lothrop Stoddard. Member of the American Historical Association, the American Political Science Association, and the Academy of Political Science. Being sent by the North American Newspaper Alliance to Nazi Germany to work as a journalist for them. Referenced in The Great Gatsby and not too negatively.

              Does not seem very low status to me.

              I also have a more generic hunch here. It seems to me that when the Left is really frantically, hysterically trying to make something low status, it is because it was fairly high status fairly recently. Things that were low status for a long time – say, in the US, monarchism, Toryism, the idea that it would have been better to stick with King George – are not so frantically denounced as hardly anyone cares.

              Woodrow Wilson was very much a liberal in character and attitude. Was nicknamed The Professor. Many very lib ideas. But also quite racist, segregated the civil service. Also the whole rearrangment of European borders after WWI, the idea that European states should be mostly monocultural ethnic states. No hint of multiculturalism.

              My hunch is this. When the liberal frantically denounces racism or monoculturalism, he is not really fighting some low-status redneck. He does not care. He is fighting the memory of Woodrow Wilson, who made (or kept) such ideas high-status and “liberal” and respectable. Or something in this direction. Of course fighting Wilson’s memory would make sense in 1959 but not so much sense in 2019. So I admit that is a weakness in my hypothesis.

      Most Americans were “white nationalists” then, even the center-left, hence the need for Kennedy to make that false promise. The Overton window has shifted so far left that nearly everyone outside a gay and cringe corner of the alt-right refuses the label, but there’s nothing wrong with the idea that the US should have a white supermajority. It’s a necessary (but insufficient) condition for most other social and political changes that reactionaries want.

    • Which was about gun deaths and gun control, and this was an absolute eye-opener for me: http://www.unz.com/anepigone/gun-city/ it shows that literally everybody, republicans, democrats, whites, blacks etc. think gun control is a good idea in the city and a bad idea in the suburb and the country. While I only know this debate from the Internet (never been to the US physically), EVERYBODY seems to talk about gun control in universal terms, not local terms.

      All this boils down to nobody have a real issue with suburban and rural whites having guns and everybody has an issue with urban blacks having guns, but they can’t say it that way. While declaring the city a gun-free zone and leaving suburbia and country alone would satisfy everybody’s wishes, if liberals accepted that, it would implicitly imply they agree that the blacks are a problem. So they have to fight for universal gun control just to get them out of the cities they live in, because they have to pin the problem on suburban and rural whites.

      Anyway. That graph was really mind-blowing to me because it showed very clearly that there is a huge divisive issue and yet everybody has the same essential opinion about it and there would be no division at all if people could state the problem openly.

      This graph is a perfect demonstration of how democracy fails. There is overwhelming support for a city-only gun control and leaving guns everywhere else alone and it cannot happen because you just can’t say it.

      • Not Tom says:

        Two minor issues here:
        – A lot of the new, woke Democrats actually don’t understand the necessity of guns outside urban areas. They literally know nothing about guns or rural life. Case in point, the recent pile-on to some random guy on Twitter talking about feral hogs.
        – Most urban areas are already, essentially, gun-free zones. Problem is that they can’t actually keep guns out of these areas, partly because they’re legitimately “smuggled” in from the less-controlled areas, and partly because they’re stolen from cops and the politicos are just looking for someone else to blame. Either way, it leads to the need for universal bans, not just urban/black bans. Enforcement is the problem.

        It’s not exactly what you think. I’ve experienced white prog culture from the inside, where there are hardly any blacks and the few that make it in are already preselected for intelligence. Whites are terrified, or at least affect being terrified, of other whites carrying any kind of firearm anywhere near them. They don’t even trust each other. Part of this is just signaling, but after a while they start to believe their own BS, because that’s what happens when you lie constantly.

        Urban gun control is a fantasy. The solution is racial segregation, not policy segregation.

              No such thing. No sign of anything scalable happening, nor is there any indication that the means and support required to build such an alternate infrastructure are available to the dissidence.

              Hence, foreign jurisdictions led by powerful rivals are going to become the go-to place for dissidents as the censors censor harder, which is the observable trend for dissidents throughout known history. I assume it will become more apparent once Russia is done insulating their own internet system.

              Ultimately, competing powers don’t really care about dissidents as long as it doesn’t threaten their own position. Quite the opposite in fact, they love them. See how the US treat Chinese dissidents for instance. If the dissidence starts mattering enough to worry about that it will be a good problem to have comparatively to our current position.

                  None of which, unfortunately, are or ever could be economically viable, except maybe bitchute, which doesn’t have a ton of great content and doesn’t seem to be expanding that fast.

                  If dissidents had billions of dollars of donor money to run these things at a loss, then they might be able to compete with YouTube, but the situation is generally the reverse of that. Video infrastructure is $$$ which is always tight on the right and in great abundance on the left.

                  Besides, if you get big enough to threaten the progressive hegemony, you’ll be deplatformed. Upstarts can get by because they’re not on the radar. Gab represents their move to Mastodon as a grand victory, epic trolling, etc., and I’ll admit that it was kind of a clever pivot, but it’s still a last resort, a desperate attempt to keep the lights on, and a pretty poor outcome compared to a .com domain and DDoS protection.

                  Please don’t get me wrong, I would love to see all of these efforts succeed and have even donated/invested in a few. But if we’re being realistic, I think most dissidents will eventually move to foreign-owned infrastructure. You’ve said yourself that this blog will likely move to a Chinese hegemony domain.

                  The problem of course is that the forces that made youtube into what it is now have only grown in strength since then.

                  If someone makes a youtube fork and it becomes popular the fork will get infiltrated in exactly the same way. The only way to avoid this is to take measures to prevent entryism – which are illegal because those measures violate civil rights laws. Then you need your servers to be outside USG’s domain because they’ll discover you’re hosting illegal content and unlike youtube the competitor will be liable for it. Then your DOS provider needs to be entirely outside USG’s reach, etc.

                  All for what? To become popular? What we need is an elite preference cascade. Not sure if a youtube replacement gets us closer to that goal.

                  Indeed, which is why Reaction is the only real opposition to the Cathedral. Reaction has insufficient elite support; other “dissident” branches have zero or negative elite support.

                  So we should continue what we are doing, but not expect to be able to do so unimpeded. Not on mainstream platforms, not on alternative platforms.

            Tor Browser is compromised, or so mangled by diversity hires that it doesn’t matter. JavaScript is enabled by default, and NoScript was taken out of the default widgets area and needs a non-obvious series of steps to put it back in.

            In addition to this, in the last couple of releases, on TAILS, you can enable JavaScript after having disabled it by restarting the browser in certain ways, somehow related to the “new identity” button, or from closing the browser then reopening it using a local HTML file. If there is one easy to find bug then there are likely to be many more hard to find bugs. Have a play with it and see what you find.

            The network itself has problems. Tor was never designed to counter timing attacks. The hop count is known. I don’t think the packets are padded. I read somewhere that, because of this, adding additional hops decreases security rather than increasing it, but this could well be TLA obfuscation. Anyone who can see the entire network, or the edges of the network, would have this information anyway.

            I2P as I understand was designed to be resistant to the things that Tor is vulnerable to. If it has nodes that are not in the USG hegemony then it should be resistant to the case where every hop node is evil, but I can understand why China and Russia would want to exclude it as another potential attack channel for progressivism.

            Timing attacks on the scale of days to weeks can be countered by leaving the network running at all times, and by delaying the release of sensitive messages by a random number of hours to days. Open hardware and software counters hacking.

            Individuals are still vulnerable to rubber hose. The NSA could mandate, more strongly this time, the use of encryption with large constants for all communications. We are still strangers in our own lands.

              If data goes into a great big pool, stays there for a while, and is then fished out of the pool, he cannot, except he hacks the pool, or, more commonly, rubber hoses the guy that runs the pool. Trouble is that with a small number of central pools, it is easy to hack or rubber hose them.

              For short plaintext messages, tweets, it is quite economical to have a system where you download a huge pile of them, and then only look at the ones for which you have the decryption key.

              If you have ten million users, and they each send and receive three kilobytes of text a day, that is three gigabytes of text a day. The ten million users can flood fill the whole damn pile around all of them. Each user keeps a few weeks worth of text, and, bittorrent style, updates random other users with any texts that one user has, and another user does not.

                • jim says:

                  That C++ was originally C with classes is an obscure piece of techie history. OK, you know your history. But it immediately became something more than C with classes when it was discovered that templates were a Turing complete language that can do anything lisp can do (albeit badly, write only, and hard to write, but it can do it) with the result that its key feature became not classes, but the Standard Template Library.

                  Thus, speaking about “C with classes” without showing awareness that “C with classes” is not just a term no longer used, but a thing that no longer exists, that the term ceased to be used for good reason, is a Jacques Derrida style blooper.

                  When you use a term that ceased to be used for good reason, that suggests lack of knowledge of the reason. It is not C with classes, because it is C with templates.

                  Well written C++ is apt to generate an exceedingly large and complex set of classes on the fly, of which neither the writer nor the reader should be aware, though sometimes you get one of the infamous error messages concerning them, that forces you to bring them to conscious awareness. But for some time both compiler writers, and template writers, have been striving to avoid the possibility of these strange, complicated, and incomprehensible error messages concerning strange and complicated classes generated on the fly, and I have not seen one of them for quite some time. Correct use of static asserts in the templated constructor can eliminate them – or at least ensure that the error message is intelligible, not because the static assert fails, but because the error message generated in the context of an unsuccessful effort to compile the static assert is intelligible, and if it is not intelligible, the source code generating the error message is documented by the more intelligible error message associated with the static assert in the source.

                Precisely this! The system supporting only short plaintext messages also removes the possibility of flooding the system with child pornography five minutes before the cops knock on your door with a search warrant.

                In my opinion decryption keys should be exchanged only in person, and reside only on a device with no network connection except a short-range, point-to-point wireless or infrared link implemented in hardware you trust. Any larger network attack surface, and the adversary will simply exploit your network-connected device using either a 0-day or a backdoor arranged with the hardware manufacturer, and then grab either your decryption key, or else a screen shot of your frame buffer as you read the decrypted message.

                To forestall application of the rubber hose treatment at the expense of bloating messages somewhat, the publicly-visible data pool should look like a big sea of text about the stock market or fantasy football or whatever can be dreamed up and added to a natural language steganography layer.

                It is clear to me that some software and hardware work could produce a secure command and control network. But I am still unclear how to prevent any such network from being subverted by entryists.

    Reading through that thread and whoa, that guy is seriously living in a bubble of delusion.

    He’s deluded about China because he’s more deluded about the United States because he can’t see what he can’t accept.

    Here’s an outline of his position on the geostrategic position of the players (correct me if I get any of the details wrong here). China “depends” on the US in two main ways – 1) it needs a market for its exports and 2) it needs a stream of payments from USG debt so it can buy “steel, coal, oil” (of course China is the world’s largest exporter of steel but whatever – he’s got the “needs somewhere to export” argument too). It can’t conquer an oil supply or coal supply because it’s geographically constrained and USN can embargo it.

    Here’s the mirror of this that he doesn’t consider – China “needs” an export market at minimum to pay for imports of raw materials. I think if it came to it the world would be far happier to take Chinese goods and independence from USG imposed gay pride parades, feral women’s rights to tinder hookups and the bioleninism of importing Africans and Arabs but ESR thinks the US exports freedom or something. Leaving that aside – why did it develop that American consumer manufacturing is being done in China? Why is it that every leftist policy has the consequence of pushing manufacturing out of the US? Because it serves the needs of the left / USG. American manufacturing makes the wrong people rich – people that USG hates and is slowly talking itself into trying to exterminate. Cutting off China’s export market means either American poverty or American manufacturing comes back and either one of those is death to the progressive state.

      It is often argued that the trillion dollar New Silk Road Economic Belt frequently fails to make economic sense, but it makes strategic sense. It is a bunch of transport routes between China and markets and raw materials that America would find difficult and dangerous to interdict.

      Like the artificial islands in the South China sea, the New Silk Road Economic Belt makes sense as preparation for the possibility of military struggle between a land power and a sea power. Meanwhile the American military focuses on proving that brown women can do white male jobs and wonders why logistics is mysteriously falling apart and wonders why its new fighter bombers cannot get off the ground.

      America could interdict the maritime silk road, but interdicting the New Silk Road Economic Belt is a land war in Asia, and a huge land war in Asia from the middle east to China. Attempting to interdict the New Silk Road Economic Belt would be Napoleon invading Russia.

      Napoleon was defeated because socialism undermined his logistic capability, and he then embarked on a project that required enormous logistic capability. Interdicting the New Silk Road would require unlimited hordes of conscript cannon fodder. The potential logistic capability of the US economy is enormous, but difficult to mobilize using brown women, while China has similarly enormous logistic capability, the capacity to mobilize it, and the capacity to mobilize unlimited hordes of conscript cannon fodder.

    (First: Who’s ESR again?)

    “Recently esr called me a disgusting racist. I have no idea why. I did not ask him and if I had asked him would not have received a coherent answer, because to answer would be to acknowledge some thought crime or other. They cannot acknowledge thought crimes even while denouncing them.”

    Just clarifying: Was it his thoughtcrime that he couldn’t acknowledge, or yours? (In this case I mean.)

    Holy crap bro. Are you telling me that even explicitly accusing someone else of thoughtcrime, which requires using words to describe what the thoughtcrime is, is itself impossible for these people? Is it a thoughtcrime itself, in some super brain meta self whistling way? Can you put this into a few more words please?

    That deal with the smiling boy from Covington Catholic comes to mind.

            “I thought I was clear enough. esr reacted to attacks from the left by censoring himself, crippling his ability to think. As Orwell explained it: “protective stupidity””

            OK thank you.

            It could be that I’m the slow guy and this is old news for everyone but me, but there’s this “new” idea that you’re popularizing, here, to the “IRL” people who read this: a more “holistic” understanding of thoughtcrime/crimestop.

            I know it’s from 1984, but Mr. Orwell isn’t blogging anymore.

            It’s not just thoughtcrime, because even the naive freshman year 1984 book reporter can (could?) explain that Commie Man Bad and outlaws certain thoughts. That’s easy.

            The key facet that I’ve only picked up here is that thoughtcrime/crimestop applies to the rulers also. It’s NPC’s all the way up as well, or at least that’s how I’ve been interpreting you.

            It gives a fresh view of the Coulter Rule, for example:

            It’s not that the editor calls a meeting and says “OK look guys, we gotta make sure no one finds out the killer is ____.”

            And it’s not even “Oh shit, I don’t want to be the first guy to say anything about the killer being ____ or I’ll be in serious trouble, so I’ll pretend that it never occurred to me.”

            But rather, it’s his own cognition protecting him from his own noticing that the killer is ____, or that he’s doing anything funny at all by reporting that a “person” was somehow “apprehended” near an “incident” that “left four people dead” on Tuesday night, or whatever.

            It’s not just “to protect the narrative” but “to protect the narrators from each other.”

            How am I doing? Do you agree?

            Or rather, do you believe that there is in fact an unidentifiable shadow cabal of super geniuses at the top — an Inner Inner Inner Inner Party — who can afford to stay “crimestop free” thanks to mafia-class mutual loyalty and incredible op-sec? If so, it’s a new perspective on this Bilderburg/Club of Rome/Red Shield stuff: They would need the utmost secrecy and kid-diddling mutual dirt on each other just to have a chance to talk this stuff over and coordinate plans without getting strung up by their own people.

            I mean imagine if all of us here had to plan and coordinate real-deal IRL operations, the successful execution of which would require that we all engage in the same thoughtcrimes at the same time? How exactly would we hash that stuff out? On Google Hangouts?

            God I love this.

              Both. There are conspiracies at the top held together by giving each other blackmail material, and those conspirators are as sincerely deluded as the rest of them. The Clinton emails, like the climategate emails, reveal a bunch of plotters self isolated from reality.

              • Mister Grumpus says:

                “and those conspirators are as sincerely deluded as the rest of them.”

                But do you see them as deluded along the same lines as a sociology professor at Harvard?

                Or rather do they maintain an entirely separate, secret and orthagonal set of delusions and thoughtcrimes just for themselves?

                Are they secret + PC like the underlings, or secret + some other mystery religion that none of us would even recognize?

                • jim says:

                  We got the inside info on the climate conspiracy, some of the inside info on the animal fats conspiracy. Harvard is what it seems, and it is much as Moldbug depicted it.

                  We see a fair bit of evidence suggesting demon worship in the political and administrative elite, for example the EU and Epstein’s temple, but if Harvard is what it seems to be, the political and administrative elite cannot be too far from what it seems to be.

                  There are no doubt some strange and nasty conspiracies going on, but I doubt that any of them make a huge difference. In the political elite, some conspiracies held together by mutual blackmail material, with the Clintons at the center of one such web, but if the Clintons had been all powerful, Obama would never have been president.

                • uranus rises says:

                  Jim, people whose livelihood depends on a salary will believe whatever is necessary to keep that salary, and can be expected to be less powerful than their paymaster. The conspiracies you cited are between people with salaries.

                  I would much rather have insider knowledge from high finance (“I trade in gold, but not with those peasants at the public exchange”, or “I _print_ your ‘money'”) or geopolitics (“I know how much oil is really left where and how badly any one needs it”).

                • Theshadowedknight says:

                  Capitalists are not bound to get laid, but leaders are. Women love power. If the leadership was capitalists, then they would have the power that women love and they would get laid. Rulers command, and women want to be commanded, rewarding mastery with sex. Hence, if not getting laid, not commanding.

                • I AM says:

                  “Getting laid” is a degenerate boomerism only possible in a world of reliable contraception, especially the pill. Reproduction and recombination cannot be separated without fatally fracturing the societal mind into a million schizo pieces. There will be a death penalty for the manufacture of contraception, or reproduction will take place in artificial wombs, which wombs themselves may be the property of the State, and whose fetuses will invariably be subjected to genetic engineering. Human or post-human future, take your pick.

                • jim says:

                  This seems to presuppose that the guy getting laid does not want children, and the women getting laid are thinking about their future. The former is not always true, and the latter is very rarely true.

                  The proposition that contraception made the sexual revolution is false, because we have had contraception since the late Bronze age or early iron age, and because when Victorian England eased up on repression of female misconduct (on the theory that women were so naturally virtuous that they would never engage in misconduct unless evil men made them do it) they promptly got an intolerable bastardy problem, resulting in the welfare state. Our current problems are just their problems only more so.

                  Contraception did not destroy the family. Consent culture destroyed the family. The victorians deluded themselves that women never consent. When that became too obviously absurd, we introduced the new rule, even more destructive and absurd, that consent made sex right, and lack of consent made sex wrong, neither of which is true. Consensual sex often does immense damage, and non consensual sex usually results in contentment for both parties.

                  Last night my wife and my host’s wife were “complaining” to each other about non consensual sex, but they were actually boasting, and had big grins on their faces.

            • Theshadowedknight says:

              When I casually mentioned that I used persuasive language and techniques on my coworkers to gain their cooperation, they uniformly denied that I was able to any such thing. It wasn’t even the point of my argument, and they jumped all over it. They all refused to believe that they would have ever decided to do something because I had convinced them, despite me getting away with blatant violations of social norms at work.

              In order to prevent themselves from contemplating that I was able to get them to do things for me, they forgot every instance. To protect their worldview of them being independent, rational actors, they promptly erased those memories. Crimestop works pretty much the same way.

              Saying that races have differences is crimethink. Hearing that races are different may cause you to think that races are different, which is crimethink. Thus, when you notice a violation of crimethink, you must immediately crimestop yourself to prevent yourself from also committing crimethink. The offending thought is thus neutralized, and all you are left with is the emotional feeling of a terrible crime being committed, but you are not sure quite what it was.

      • reafur says:

        You are so right about that. The only comment I’m made on his blog that he censored was pointing out an inconsistency in his positions that could only be solved by thought crime. I guess the years of Leftists in the programming community furiously hating him, even stalking any mention of him on Hacker News, to the point I suspect it’s significantly degraded his ability to find work, has taken a toll.

    • Bob says:

      Steve Sailer makes the point that what people cannot speak they cannot think about. That you would think the rulers at the top are thinking about reality and just manipulating the rubes with political correctness, but the fact they cannot say hateful things out loud means that over time, they cannot even think them to themselves.

      • Mister Grumpus says:

        “…but the fact they cannot say hateful things out loud means that over time, they cannot even think them to themselves.”

        Right here. This is the paradigm jump, the fault line, that is new for me. That’s why I’m hogging up screen space about it. Seems like the right time.

        “A”
        My conventional conspiratorial wisdom (Jones, Icke, Cooper, et al) has always been that there is a “cabal” at the very top that is both 1 – psychopathic enough to see clearly free of crimestop, and 2 – secretive and diligent enough to maintain an entryist-proof multi-generational safe space in which to accordingly speak clearly to each other, and coordinate their plans.

        Imagine Satan being Satan, father of lies, but still speaking clearly and honestly with his own cabinet.

        “B”
        What I’ve never considered before, even as an idea, is that it might be self-protecting, crime-stopping and self-deluding bullshitters, all the way up to the very top.

        That’s new. That demands very a different perception of the world around me. Retcon’s the whole trilogy.

        And what I’m trying to do now is hold up this “A/B” to the most opinionated people here and provoke them into a “__ is obviously true and __ is obviously false, and here’s why I’m so certain about this: __________”.

        Care to?

        (Aside: Perhaps “A” being their ideal, but also impossible, is why they they yearn for Skynet, which is implicitly unitary.)

          Leftism selects for stupidity and insanity, the smart satanic types are all either dead (Zbiginew Brzienski, David Rockefeller, Bush the Elder, McCain) or have one foot in the grave (Soros, Schumer). So it starts out as “A” but degenerates to “B”.

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            It makes me laugh really. I always assumed it was “A” out of projection. Why wouldn’t hyper-secret genocidal evil-doers be high-trust with each other? That would be so “normal”, after all.

            And now I think to myself “High trust Satan? You sure?”

          • Mister Grumpus says:

            And there it is (and has been all along):

            “He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.” –John 8:44

            So according to the book here, Satan doesn’t just keep the truth to his top guys, nor even keep it to himself. Rather, he doesn’t even have it anywhere in him in the first place.

            I’m embarrassed to have never taken these words seriously before, even as allegory.

        You are considering that the people at the top have minds no more resilient to cognitive overload amd stress in general than average people. It’s obviously not the case, and they may very well be able to go on without the help of self-deception, or with much less of its help.

          The current impeachment shenanigans are a magnificent example of madness and self delusion at the very top.

          Their real indictment of Trump is insufficient wokeness. If the Democrats ever return to power, all insufficiently woke politicians are going to prison. But hanging the indictment on the Ukraine pretext is the worst possible peg to hang it on.

          Visualize an impeachment hearing featuring a large cast of ngo carryonbaggers with Clinton, Obama, and Biden connections, caught like deer in the headlights.

          They are, of course, going after Trump for insufficient wokeness, and if they ever return to power, will imprison him, imprison his family, then the Republican party, and then kill them. But they are going after Trump on the Ukraine connection to protect the color revolutionist self image as bringing freedom and democracy to the oppressed masses, when in fact they are just knocking over apple carts to grab some apples. It is the worst possible strategy for protecting their image in the eyes of public, but they are trying to protect it in their own eyes.
