Buzzfeed: A Second Look

A second look.

I wrote about this article before, but in light of recent events, particularly of me being labeled a “mentally ill freak” whose criticism of “movement” failure is pure “sophistry” I believe it is useful to take a brief second look at this.

Excerpts and my comments:

BuzzFeed News can reveal that in at least one instance during the summer of 2016, Thiel hosted a dinner with one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America…

Given the identity of that individual, and that he is/was “one of the most influential and vocal white nationalists in modern-day America” can we be surprised what an utter failure Der Movement is?

— a man who has called for the creation of a white ethnostate and played a key role in an effort to mainstream white nationalism as the “alt-right.”

How has that all worked out so far?

…the ascendant alt-right movement, which despite its prominence was a collection of small and often cash-strapped organizations.

Cash-strapped? Really?

One avowed white nationalist privately speculated that Thiel’s money and influence could have made him “our George Soros.”

Hmmm. Work out? No? But I thought you guys are “winning” and any skepticism about that is “sophistry?”

The people he met or had had plans with are unfamiliar to the vast majority of Americans, but they were for a time key figures pushing racist ideology and white nationalism toward a place of greater acceptability within the hard-right world of Trumpism.

Trumpism is hard-right? In reality, as opposed to perception?

This laundering of white nationalist ideas into wider conservative circles was the alt-right’s raison d’être.

They’ll tell you that they succeeded. What do you think? Success upon success!

A handful of events Thiel attended with some of the most influential voices in the far-right and white nationalist movements in 2016 and 2017 provided a venue for those connections.

Which led to…drum roll please…endless failure.

Here you go:

A Far-Right Web

Kevin DeAnna

Founder of far-right Youth for Western Civilization. Has written for white nationalist publications, under various pseudonyms. Met Thiel for dinner in July 2016.

Curtis Yarvin

Influential far-right thinker who blogged under the pseudonym Mencius Moldbug. Argues for authoritarian-style government. Has written that he’s “not exactly allergic” to white nationalism. Longtime Thiel associate.

Peter Brimelow

Founder of VDare.com, a hard-right anti-immigration website that frequently publishes white nationalists. Has said that “Hispanics do specialize in rape.” Published DeAnna.

Brendan Kissam

Former GOProud volunteer and tea party activist who filmed videos as “Wilson Hewlett” for VDare.

Greg Johnson

Founder of the white nationalist website and publishing house Counter-Currents. Author of books, including The White Nationalist Manifesto.

Jeff Giesea

A Thiel associate and former employee who developed his own connections in the far right. Helped organize 2017’s DeploraBall.

Still wondering about the endless failure?

Newly uncovered emails seen by BuzzFeed News….

How? Eyebrows (both real and fake) are raised.

…show white nationalist leaders were chattering about plans with Thiel in the summer of 2016.

Fail.

On July 2, Peter Brimelow, the founder of leading white supremacist website VDare, emailed his star writer Kevin DeAnna to chastise him for freelancing for other outlets.

That’s just too easy to mock, pass.

Brimelow, who later asserted that “Hispanics do specialize in rape, particularly of children,” also wanted to know: Why hadn’t his writer kept him updated on an upcoming meeting with Thiel?

1. JT sent me some links and said you can write this up for us real quick. It took about two hours. Originally, it was just going to be on that teacher but then I found some stuff about BAMN.

JT? Hmmmm.

I didn’t look too much into what actually happened at the protest because I still don’t know what happened and don’t think I’ll ever know. I just don’t believe what TWP is putting out (that the skinheads weren’t armed.)

My point is I didn’t plan this out and then write it. JT just said you can do this real quick and I said yes and then did it. But obviously first refusal from now on.

2. Not sure why I’m getting in trouble for the Thiel thing. I told Lydia about it one day after Greg told me about it. And she’s the only person I’ve told as it is totally secret. I thought you’d be happy about that.

I’ll blog more, let you know what I’m planning on writing with first refusal, and do a better job of talking on the phone.

Will write on the GOP stab in the back against Trump on Tuesday.

Trying to figure out who the cop is, no luck yet.

Good Internet and computer security there.

“I am fed up with being surprised about e.g. this meeting with the Right Stuff, Ann Coulter, Thiel etc.,” Brimelow wrote, with his wife, Lydia Brimelow, copied on the message. “You are being paid in part to keep me abreast of Alt Right developments and you’re not doing it.”

Well, gee, Pete, all Kev had to do was just send repeated messages all containing the word “failure” and that would have kept you effectively “abreast of Alt Right developments.”

DeAnna, an influential white nationalist who pens pieces for VDare and has written many pieces for other prominent publications in the movement like American Renaissance and Counter-Currents, under the pseudonyms “James Kirkpatrick” and “Gregory Hood”…

Meanwhile, RaceNatGoy is falsely accused of being my “sock puppet” account.

The dinner that Friday night was a little different. Termed the “Right Wing Dinner Squad, III” in an email sent by one attendee, the event featured an individual that the billionaire, despite his flair for controversy, has never associated with publicly.

That guest was DeAnna.

Howdy Peter and Kevin,

I’d been looking forward to you guys getting to meet, and last night proved fantastic! I’m sure you two will have plenty strategy to bounce back and forth, and I look forward to hearing about it.

-Brendan

Brendan? Hmmm. I have some questions for a certain individual who wrote an article about my “neurotic” blogging.

DeAnna, though not a household name, had by that time been involved in far-right politics for close to 10 years, and had played a key role in channeling white nationalist ideology into the emerging alt-right. After graduating from the College of William and Mary in Virginia, DeAnna joined the conservative Leadership Institute, and founded Youth for Western Civilization in 2006.

Success after success!

DeAnna did not respond to questions from BuzzFeed News.

Alas, one other apparently did respond. See below.

DeAnna also served as a Trump evangelist in his community. He was among the voices on the fringe who exhorted their peers to get on board with Trump…

And how did that work out? Who was it who wrote that Trump was so weak that he made “Jimmy Carter look like Alexander the Great?”

…and work within the system instead of marginalizing themselves outside it. For Spencer’s website Radix Journal, DeAnna wrote in 2015 urging support for Trump, even though some in the movement were wary of conventional politics.

And someone warned back in 2016 that Trump was a fraud, a vulgar ignorant buffoon, and a Negrophilic race cuck. Any guesses as to who that sickle-celled mentally ill freakish person is?

“DeAnna’s email with Thiel was prompted by Brendan Kissam, a former Tea Party activist from Philadelphia.

Brendan from Philadelphia. Hmmmm. Let’s see:

Kissam met Thiel in 2010 when he volunteered to help organize a fundraiser at Thiel’s New York City apartment for the gay Republican group GOProud. According to a source who had spoken with Kissam, the activist and Thiel kept in touch after the fundraiser; in January 2011, a user identifying themselves as “Brendan Kissam” commented on a critical post about Thiel on LGBTQ website Queerty…

Hmmm. I have some ideas that I’m, let us say, flirting with, but I’d like to ask some questions to a particular individual who reads EGI Notes.

“It’s amazing,” Spencer said on the night of a “Gays for Trump” party thrown near the Quicken Loans Arena the night before Thiel spoke. “We’ve taken over the right.”

And drove it right into the ditch.

Those weeks of political victory for Thiel coincided with a public reckoning for the alt-right, which had sought to portray itself as a gentler, more mainstream-friendly iteration of white nationalism. Richard Spencer was caught in November shouting “Heil Trump” while others performed Nazi salutes at an event hosted by Spencer’s think tank. The incident caused a bitter row in alt-right circles and drew unwanted attention to the dark underbelly of the movement.

I see now in retrospect why some Alt Righters were so upset about Heilgate and were so quick to denounce Spencer. They saw all their dreams of big money evaporating like dew on a warm summer morning.

Spencer’s banishment and Thiel’s presence indicated a new mainstream taking shape on the right. While the more radical elements of the movement became marginalized, the DeploraBall crowd was still able to attract a high profile Trump donor like Thiel.

End result – failure.

Thiel also started a family. After marrying longtime boyfriend Matt Danzeisen in an elaborate ceremony in Austria in 2017, the two had a baby daughter, according to those close to the couple.

They “had a baby daughter?” Had? Did I miss an update in reproductive biology somewhere along the line?

In an email from this April viewed by BuzzFeed News..

Security marches on.

…Greg Johnson, the publisher of white nationalist website Counter-Currents and author of The White Nationalist Manifesto, was still fuming over the “Heilgate” incident and blamed Richard Spencer and others for making the movement too toxic for big donors like Thiel.

I thought all you guys are “winning?”

Johnson, who said he never met Thiel, didn’t deny the email’s accuracy to BuzzFeed News…

Well, then, apparently someone did respond to Buzzfeed it seems. What happened to not “being in bed with the press?” Was an opportunity to knock Spencer too good to pass up?

Spencer and his think tank National Policy Institute were “being eyed for larger donations, but he blew it. A lot was possible in 2016, before Hailgate,” Johnson wrote to other alt-right leaders.

“I don’t think Peter Thiel is going to become our George Soros after all this,” Johnson continued. “There is simply no calculating the setbacks caused by these kooky and treasonous people.

OK. I thought you are all “winning?” Are you actually saying that inept “movement” “leaders” caused “setbacks” of a magnitude that “there is simply no calculating?” Are you sure that’s not “sophistry?” Don’t be “paranoid” now!

Basically, the Sallis narrative that the failed “movement” and its pitifully inept “leaders” squandered the massive opportunity of Trump and “right-wing populism” is confirmed not only by the article itself but also by Johnson’s quoted statement within.

Of course, it is possible Johnson denies communicating to Buzzfeed and making these statements. Can we have clarification about that one way or the other?

Counter-Currents Poll, 4/24

Amusing.

This post is about the Counter-Currents poll released on 4/14/24 to (as we have been told) those on their mailing list.

I am reproducing the welcome email message from Counter-Currents about the poll below, at the end of this post. Note the bit about the $500 prize drawing. That’s almost as laughable as the idea that everyone taking the poll will be submitting accurate information, that everyone taking it is a “friend of Counter-Currents,” and that everyone taking it is a separate individual.

However, it is likely that most people who take the poll will be authentic Counter-Currents readers and supporters. Which means what? It means that the results will be reflective of the general Counter-Currents ideology, an outcome that will be encouraged by the (leading and sometimes dishonest – see question 100) way they phrase questions/answers. Rather than being an objective “snapshot” of the state of Der Movement, it instead boils down to promoting Counter-Currents values (such as they are) in the guise of a poll. As far as the statement (see below):

…we will invite other important groups in our sphere to poll their own audiences: VDare, American Renaissance, The Occidental Observer, The Political Cesspool, etc. We will give them both a snapshot of their own audiences as well as amalgamate the answers…

I note that those are standard Dissident Right sites, some of which are “allied” with or at least well disposed to Counter-Currents. Note that no sites critical of Counter-Currents, or of Der Movement in general, are mentioned as among those (potentially) participating. This will just be more reinforcement of a Counter-Currents-friendly “movement” narrative.

I could of course adapt poll questions for readers of EGI Notes and followers of my Gab account. But how many responses would I get? One? Two? All the others would do nothing.

My overall impression of the poll (in addition to the comments made above) is as follows. While the overall idea of a poll on these subjects is sound (this is the sort of thing I’ve been pushing for, for years) it is weakened by the dishonest way certain questions are handled, the omission of certain key points, the hypocrisy of them asking questions some of which they themselves won’t publicly answer, and the fact that what is really needed is a poll of people who have pro-White sympathies but who avoid pro-White activism completely (and thus would not be on the Counter-Currents mailing list).

Now some points about the poll itself. The categories of the poll and the number of minutes suggested for each part are as follows, including some comments (in italics) from me when relevant (I’ll be making more specific comments about particular questions later):

1. About you and family life (12 m) Sallis: Intrusive personal questions. Why should people be giving accurate information here given past data breaches?

2. Your political journey (15 m)

3. Intelligence and personality tests (15 m)

4. Psychological issues (2 m) Sallis: Are you a mentally ill freak suffering from insanity?

5. How you get your information (1 m)

6. Your participation in mainstream politics and society ( 5 m)

7. Your involvement in the pro-white movement (10 m)

8. How you think pro-white political change will take place (10 m)

Brief comments on specific questions:

Question 40 asks about sexual identity – in my opinion hypocritical given that Johnson refuses to publicly answer that about himself. It is also hypocritical because when I stated my sexual identity on Gab, Johnson dismissed that since I am an “anon” and can say anything about myself. What then about the poll takers? This is an anonymous poll; people can say whatever they wish, regardless of the truth. This leads to a question – will Counter-Currents leadership and staff, as well as their top writers, publicly reveal their poll answers, including and especially the answer to #40? If not, why not?

Question 58 describes Alt Right/White nationalist media as Amren, Counter-Currents, VDARE – what about other entities, including those hostile to the three listed?

Question 60 asks about issues/problems with pro-White ideas, but does not list all of the potential problems (such as those I routinely talk about here at my blog).

Questions 89 and 90 are particularly potentially useful ones as they ask what are the barriers to the poll taker’s participation in pro-White activities and organizations – but the list is incomplete (what about that “movement” dogma is freakish nonsense?) and the questions should also be asked to those with no involvement whatsoever.

Question 100 is the absolute worst – asking what else pro-Whites should be besides pro-White. Among the choices listed are “Ethnonationalist” and “White Imperialist.” White Imperialist! Not Pan-Europeanist, no siree, of course not. It doesn’t matter how many times people tell them that no (or few) Pan-Europeanists today are going to choose “White Imperialist” as their identity (although some poll takers may find themselves forced to do so, given the choices given). If Pan-Europeanist was given as a choice – a more accurate and more honest representation than the rank dishonesty of “White Imperialist” – than the former would no doubt get more “hits” than the latter. But, hey, manipulate the way the questions are asked so as to skew results to your liking – is that it? Please explain why a pejorative term was used to describe a rival ideology – a term rejected by most of those who follow that ideology.

Here we see the fundamental dishonesty, the mendacity, of Counter-Currents on full display. By choosing to use a set of answers that fits their ethnonationalist prejudices, they mislabel the views of opponents and prevent Pan-Europeanists from honestly answering the question, skewing the results.

Question 104, about pro-White labels has the same basic problem of #100.

I’ll be interesting in seeing the results, particularly given what I wrote above – that some of the questions are dishonestly written and given that there is no understanding of what fraction of the participants are answering individually and honestly.

The welcome email message is below. Note the typical Counter-Currents editing – “This has been a monumental.”

Good afternoon Friend of Counter-Currents,

Participate in the first ever movement research poll here Registration link and be entered to win $500!

If we want our movement to grow, we should try to attract more like-minded people. But doesn’t finding people who are like us presuppose that we already know who we are? If we want to effectively mobilize our existing movement to create political change, doesn’t that presuppose that we already know our people’s talents, interests, locations, levels of commitment, etc.?

But how much do we really know about our own movement? We have direct knowledge of ourselves and our friends. But even our best activists and networkers don’t really know more than a couple hundred people, and we can’t make broad generalizations from such limited data. We also have impressions, hunches, and guesses gathered from the internet. But how accurate are those? For instance, how many of those impressions come from the enemy media and are thus shaped by their biases and agenda?

Knowledge is power. The sad truth is, our enemies probably have a better idea of who we are than we do. But you can help us fix this, today, by taking the Counter-Currents movement poll:

The poll has 114 questions.

It takes about one hour to complete. (You can pause and save your work, so you don’t have to fill out the poll all at once).

We are inviting everyone on our mailing list to complete it.

Your email address gets you into the poll, but once you finish it, the results are anonymous.

By completing the poll, you will help us do two things better: (1) mobilize the people we already have for positive change, and (2) craft better outreach to bring new people into the movement.

As an added incentive to take the poll, everyone who completes the poll will be entered in a drawing for a prize of $500.

The poll will end on April 30th.

Once we have completed the poll and analyzed the data, we will invite other important groups in our sphere to poll their own audiences: VDare, American Renaissance, The Occidental Observer, The Political Cesspool, etc. We will give them both a snapshot of their own audiences as well as amalgamate the answers from all the different groups into a broader picture of the movement as a whole. This is very exciting, since large numbers give us greater accuracy.

For the first time ever, this project will make it possible for the movement to engage in serious, fact-based strategic planning and outreach. For the first time, we will have a clear picture of where our people are, as well as their ages, backgrounds, education, religions, professions, income levels, psychological profiles, most important political priorities, levels of commitment, and more.

This has been a monumental. Your answers are completely anonymous, and David Zsutty, who will bring the experience that he gained in conducting five national polls as the Homeland Institute’s Executive Director, will be handling the data analysis.

You as a Counter-Currents reader have the honor of being the first to take this poll. So please set aside a quiet hour, make sure you have a pen and paper handy, and take it today.

Thank you,

Greg Johnson

WDR41: Sallis Defamed Again

Against Greg Johnson.

Following up on this.

Western Destiny Radio episode 41: Listen here.

Background material (in all cases, emphasis added):

The Nash VNN piece.

Goad’s reaction. One correction – the Trad News piece states:

Goad, who once confessed to paying a Black boy to suck him off…

Listening to the Luke Ford Show episode, Goad says that the Negro paid him, as opposed to what Trad News says. From the JP Nash VNN review is this excerpt from Goad’s writing that supports my understanding of the Luke Ford Show segment:

Some skinny black kid with glasses paid me five bucks for the privilege of letting him suck my cock on the concrete stairwell to a fluorescent-lit Norristown subterranean parking lot, and he had his eyes closed all worshipfully slobbering all over it and said I could fuck him if I wanted to but I said no, and the way he fawned over my bone…

But, of course, any association with me is what harms the reputation of “movement” “leaders.”

The Amren Romania article.

The Amren article about Zoltan Hajnal.

Author Marisa Abrajano, whose origins we can only imagine from her name and appearance, teaches political science at UC San Diego. Zoltan Hajnal also teaches at UC San Diego. Zoltan is a Hungarian name, so it’s unlikely his ancestors came over on the Mayflower. White Backlash is published by Princeton University Press.

This is the perfect symbol for our degenerate times. Foreigners tell the American founding stock how benighted and deserving of oblivion we are, and are published by one of the country’s most prestigious academic presses. We have work to do.

Hajnal speaking. Foreigner?

General background.

Data leak.

Polignano tape.

Matt Forney statement.

Apparently Parrott has been “rehabilitated” by Counter-Currents, compare this:

Counter-Currents

@NewRightAmerica

He’s intelligent, but his intellect has been ruined by insanity. I regret tolerating him and people like Parrott as long as I did. Better people saw it as indecent. It harmed my reputation.

With this:

Angelo Plume (Telegram, YouTube) and Matt Parrott (Telegram, Substack) were Greg Johnson‘s special guests on the latest broadcast of Counter-Currents Radio, which was the fourth meeting of the Counter-Currents Book Club…

Lots of people seem to be a problem for Johnson; it’s all our fault it seems:

Alex,

I listened to the end of this interview, where I was discussed. Your claim that I told you in an email (an email that is conveniently lost on an old computer) that I am a homosexual is a flat out lie. (And anyone with ears can HEAR it in your voice.) I have our old correspondence. But I don’t need to check it, because I know that I said nothing of the kind, nor would I.

I wrote an article protesting the crude queer bashing on VNN. I republished that article in my CONFESSIONS OF A RELUCTANT HATER. If you want, you can use that as a fig leaf.

You admitted that you were being an asshole. Why not clear the air fully and just admit that you pulled that claim out of your ass in anger, because I was besting you in a debate? You speak of your political instincts and deride me for my lack thereof. Well, you constantly urge people to imitate the Jews: lie, cheat, and kill. That pretty much impeaches your credibility as a source right there. If that is what you mean by political instincts, I am pleased to be without them.

I have accused you, Brad Griffin, Sam Dickson, and others of narcissism, and I mean it in a very specific sense: narcissists lie, cheat, and even kill to project and maintain a false image of themselves in their own minds and the minds of others. They refuse to take responsibility for their acts, preferring to make others pay the price, because admission of responsibility would threaten their false self-image, their desire to always seem to be in the right. Such people are often called “sore losers.” M. Scott Peck simply describes them as “evil.”

I don’t see any value in associating with such people. I even have doubts about the wisdom of writing this, because even addressing you this way presupposes that you have a modicum of honesty and decency.

This is my beef with you: You are a very clever writer, but you aren’t honest, and it sabotages you and destroys your credibility.

Hell, it harms my credibility even to address you. As a friend pointed out to me: “A man whose colleagues are Kevin MacDonald and Phil Rushton cannot also treat Alex Linder and Hunter Wallace as colleagues, because the latter are morally and psychologically, if not ideologically, the same as the kind of creeps who attack and harass MacDonald and Rushton. It is indecent to associate with such people, even to attack them.

Sound familiar?

Linder’s response.

Johnson’s penchant for feuding with others in the Dissident Right has not only been noticed by the Far Right but by its opponents as well; this from the SPLC:

…his criticism of various people or doctrines in the far-right movement has led him to very public feuds with other far-right personalities.

Patrik Hermansson:

American alt-right figure Greg Johnson admired the London Forum so much that he replicated the concept in New York and Seattle with closed conferences of hard-core activists addressed by leading speakers from the far right.

One sunny Saturday in June, I joined the list of speakers at one of these forums in Seattle. I had intended to attend as a guest but one week before the event Johnson contacted me and asked me to give the opening address, removing any doubt in my mind that I was now accepted as part of this movement.

David Lewis:

Back in January, I e-mailed Dr. Greg Johnson, organizer of Northwest Forum, Seattle’s hottest closed-door white nationalist convention, asking for an interview on the latest in regional racism. He turned me down. Thanks to the internet, the far right no longer needs the mainstream media to get its message out. Print, television, and radio lose their relevance when everybody’s just a click away from Pepe the Frog, Disney songs dubbed with racist lyrics, and pseudo-intellectual essays that somehow try to bring ancient Rome into all this.

Also thanks to the internet, it only took me about an hour to change my identity from David Lewis, Seattle historian, to Dave Lewis, Neo-Nazi film editor and aspiring book critic from Charlottesville, currently living in Los Angeles. This Dave Lewis has never been to Seattle, but has always wanted to attend Northwest Forum.

My film editor persona dangled a giant chunk of cheese in front of Dr. Johnson. In addition to being a racist, Johnson is also a huge cinephile who has published two books of “pro-white” movie reviews wherein he rants against Zootopia as “pure evil” but surprisingly enjoyed 8 Mile. The role of film editor also worked to my advantage because, despite a recent fundraising spike, the white nationalist movement still has a hard time attracting people with artistic or technical talent.

Dr. Johnson bit the cheese. Entry into Northwest Forum typically requires “extreme vetting,” which means meeting in person and getting a beer with one of the Northwest’s white separatist organizations like True Cascadia. But I didn’t even have to send in a photo after mentioning that, as a Charlottesville native (actually from Ballard), I was writing an essay titled Tear Down Lee and Put Up Lincoln: Abraham Lincoln, World’s Greatest White Nationalist.

Pilleater tape.

Listen to this.

Of relevancy given Johnson’s accusations about “mental illness” and the “little bitch” comment” –

Mike Polignano: “We had sort of sick codependency. I allowed him to speak for me instead of speaking for myself. Also after a while I began feeling like the bitch in the relationship, handling all the shit work and “housekeeping” chores needed to keep a business running while he engaged with the world and became the face of Counter-Currents.”

“Greg thought it wisest to lock me up in a mental hospital rather than trying to stay with me and understand my reality. He told the psychiatrists the loaded gun I kept in the house — which he knew about and was okay with my keeping for defensive purposes during a time we were receiving threats against our physical safety — he told the doctors I had no justification for having it.“

“I got committed, had my civil rights [and gun ownership rights] stripped away, and was forced to take antipsychotic medication under threat of state-sanctioned violence.”

See this:

Foreign students can apply to ELTE’s summer university to learn Hungarian and to get to know Hungarian culture. We know that Johnson and Zsutty took part in the course specifically to learn the language, which may indicate that they plan to stay in Hungary for a longer period of time…Johnson has been living in Budapest since he was deported from Norway in 2019, but Zsutty only joined him in 2023. Until now, they had been active almost undisturbed in Hungary, but during the ELTE course, one of the students found out who he was studying with, based on Johnson’s e-mail address, and reported it to the teachers….During the second week of the course, while reading a circular e-mail, one of the students noticed Johnson’s counter-currentses [sic] e-mail address and reported it to his fellow students.

Where are all the Hungarian ethnonationalists when you need them?

What I wrote at Gab on 4/12/24:

I see no reason why someone who “bans” me from their website should have the right to spam my Gab account, hence, Johnson is blocked here.

You can all laugh at the following ludicrous nonsense from Johnson. In response to RaceNatGoy (a reader of EGI Notes who follows me on Gab) making a comment defending my work, Johnson wrote:

Haha. This Ted Sallis praising himself with a sock puppet.

He actually is suggesting that RaceNatGoy and I are the same person. Can you believe such nonsense? Your “leaders” make unfounded, false statements with a smug attitude of complete certainty – is such poor judgment surprising given the Hermansson amd Lewis fiascos?

With the permission of RaceNatGoy, I reproduce in this blog post some of the Gab Chat messages I had with him, see this. I suppose that some irrational person (no names of course) may claim that I was direct messaging myself in that Gab Chat as part of a nefarious “insane” plot to establish RaceNatGoy as my dastardly “sock puppet” for future use. Of course, rational individuals will simply recognize that RaceNatGoy and I are different people, and thus Johnson’s “sock puppet” comment is just more poor judgment, laughable jumping to conclusions, and…wrong, wrong, they’re always, always, always wrong.

Here is a real sock puppet account to make things clear to everyone.

Greg Johnson expresses himself:

I think a lot of people who attack other people on the Right do so out of financial motives.

Oh, indeed, I agree. Consider Sallis vs. Der Movement. I ask for no money from anyone; Der Movement is noted for its fundraising and its dependence on supporter donations. Is this part of the reason they ban critics and duck debates? Interaction with critics would help legitimize and disseminate the views of those critics. There is likely an inverse relationship between the degree to which my views and those of other critics are accepted and the level of Der Movement’s revenue streams via donations. Given the overall importance of fundraising to “movement” “leaders,” that outcome must be avoided at all costs. Thus, they defame me as “mentally ill” and keep their followers isolated from viewpoints, such as mine, that would make those followers lose confidence in the “leaders” (with the consequent drying up of donations).

Laugh at this:

To celebrate, any gift of $120 or above will receive:

At least one year’s paywall subscription (extension for current members; you can also gift paywall memberships to friends)

The Cultured Thug Mug!

Shipping to the US Only

The Jonathan Bowden Cultured Thug Travel Mug

(See above, pictured front & back — single-sided optional if you prefer a more subtle, less violent mug for your commute.)

But, hey, if anyone claims that Der Movement is simply an entertainment brand, then obviously – obviously! – they are simply a mentally ill insane jerky boy freak. It is perfectly natural for an “intellectual center of the Dissident Right” to be selling mugs for money, leveraging the memory of a deceased rightist.That is perfectly, absolutely acceptable, sophisticated, and classy, and don’t you forget it! Get your cultured thug mug today! Your package of privileges is expanding!

Don’t forget!

To thank donors who pledge at least $10/month or $120/year, we offer an ever-expanding package of privileges…

It is perfectly acceptable for a “pro-White activist site” focused on “metapolitics” to offer “an ever-expanding package of privileges.” Give generously today! Enjoy your mug, you cultured thug!

Is “Hood” engaging in “sophistry” by shifting the “goalposts?”

Yet, what have we gained in the real world? Nothing. There are still no pro-white elected officials. Indeed, a local official who attended Unite the Right and was attacked by far-left groups was recalled by local Republicans who voted with the far-left rather than ignore the media. No Republicans fight explicitly for white interests, but this is not because they don’t believe in “identity politics.” They trying to ban speech against Israel and Jews, even though Jews mostly do not vote for them. Whites, and whites alone, are utterly unrepresented as a collective interest group.

There have been cutbacks to DEI programs, but the industry (and it is still an industry) is still vastly larger than in 2020. The money spread around just by Jeff Bezos’s ex-wife dwarfs all the money given to ever American nationalist group since the end of World War II. “Anti-racism” is still a great career. The likes of Ibram Kendi get MacArthur Genius Grants and cozy berths in academia, corporations, and government. Even AI is crudely anti-white. Top universities train intelligent young people in what could be called “offense archeology,” or discovering ever-more reasons to take money from whites and give it to blacks. Indoctrination and propaganda work. Generation Z is not “based.” Young Republicans are well to the left of their elders on race.

The entire West has shifted from “colorblind” to overtly anti-white, with “whiteness” defined as privilege, oppression, and exploitation. The Great Replacement goes on unchecked. No white men run a single government in the United Kingdom. America’s foreign-born population has grown by 15 percent in 12 years. Immigration is fueling the greatest population increase in Canadian history — against the wishes of most Canadians.

Of course, if you read the entire post, you will find “Hood” much too optimistic, and too willing to believe that his “movement” is on the right track. I don’t expect any of those guys to write or say the full start truth – that Der Movement has been, is, and will continue to be a laughable failure, and that whatever progress is being made by ideas – but not in real world practical politics – is occurring despite of, not because of, “movement” buffoonery.
