Odds and Ends, 1/7/24

In der news.

The HBD race realists are somewhat illogical. First, they promote an ideology in which people/hominids are judged based on a hierarchical ranking of traits such as IQ, behavior, etc. Then they tell us that Asians are superior to Whites by all such standards. Finally, they then label themselves “pro-White advocates.”  Huh? If they believe that value is inherent in specific traits and if they believe that Asians are superior in those traits then the HBD race realists should be pro-Asian advocates. If, on the other hand, they value Whites because Whites are their racial kin, then they should jettison their slavish adherence to HBD and make kinship-based racialism their priority. They can get away with this incoherence within Der Movement because of the affirmative action program and because they refuse to debate their critics among the Dissident/Far Right. But once these issues are hammered away at by the Left, then the Quota Queens will need to deal with it.

Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun is disliked by Der Right because, unlike Tolkien, he makes a traditionalist society look like an unrelenting catastrophe, and unlike Herbert, he makes archaeofuturism look like a dystopia with no redeeming qualities. Wolfe’s work is disliked by Da Left because he is accused of “misogyny” and of having traditional Catholic (a convert) conservative values. The masses in the Center can’t understand Wolfe’s dense and indirect writing. Jack Vance’s style, although unique, is more direct, and sometimes strands of anti-fascist civic liberalism creep through, but because of his near-perfect rendition of female behavior, he too has been accused of “misogyny.” You see, if you are a White male writer who does not have 100 pound female characters effortlessly beating up 250 pound muscular male super-soldiers then you are, by definition, a “misogynist,” and don’t you forget it! If anything, I can criticize Wolfe and Vance for creating female characters who are too unrealistically positive. That’s why Vance is near-perfect and not perfect, re: milady.

Amren hates YOU (emphasis added):

truthgiverofhumanity

…mass immigration of Jews, Italians & Irish.

“It is interesting to note that the original Indo-European descended Romans viewed anyone who was dark with suspicion. The Roman proverb Hic niger es, bunc tu, Romane, caveato (“He is black, beware of him, Roman’’) is recorded by Horace as being a common saying amongst Romans of the time. (Saz., i. 4, 85).”(March of the Titans).

Even the fair Brittonic, Pictish & Germanic men fought off the Roman Empire because they wanted to protect their fair colored women & children from the invading Black-haired dark-eyed Romans who wished to conquer & integrate with them. Fair-colored women like Boudica also lead the resistance against the blackening force of the Romans especially after her two fair daughters who raped by Black-haired Roman soldiers while she was beaten by them.

Sallis is always, always, ALWAYS right. Today’s Nordicism is a Nord-Colored alliance against YOU. Your reaction? Nothing.

Note the Sallis’ Law at Amren – a discussion about Irish riots against Colored immigration in 2023 devolves into a (Colored-led) discussion of March of the Titans and racially mixed Romans mongrelizing innocent Nords 2000 years ago. But – Rome conquered England. So by this logic – the English are dark colored mongrels?

Genetic evidence on Roman pigmentation shows that “fairness” has either been stable since the Iron Age/Republic or increasing, not decreasing,

Wrong, wrong, they’re always, always, ALWAYS wrong.

This is an old and tired schtick – non-Whites, South Asians and other NECs prominent among them, promoting radical Nordicism to divide Whites, with the willing cooperation of the Eloi, who get their vanity petted, to assuage their deep-seated feelings of personal inadequacy.

In this scenario, the Eloi are worse than the Brownsters. They must be opposed.

It is typical of Nordicists that they take comments from Roman satirists and poets and try to derive racial meaning from them. Let’s look a bit closer at the quote from Horace; emphasis added:

The title is taken from Horace: “Absentem qui rodit amicum, qui non defendit, alio culpante; hic niger est; hunc tu, Romane, caveto – He who attacks an absent friend, or who does not defend him when spoken ill of by another; that man is a dark character; you, Romans, beware of him.”, suggesting that the subject has betrayed a friend.

Is Horace talking about race? Is he suggesting that Romans not trust dark-eyed, dark-haired people?  Is “character” appropriate to be inserted in the translation?  I say yes, because it is quite clear from the context – “He who attacks an absent friend, or who does not defend him” – that Horace is referring to defects in character, in behavior, and there is no implication of a literal meaning of phenotypic complexion or race/ethnicity in general.  If the “hic niger est; hunc tu, Romane, caveto” was spoken in reference to, say, immigration into Rome then the meaning could be interpreted differently, but here Horace talks about a faithless friend of bad character. Further, even if you want to extrapolate that certain cultures, including the Roman, associated “dark features” with a bad character – and there is no implication of that in this quote – then it is more likely to refer to dark complexioned non-White aliens, such as NECs, rather than to dark-eyed, dark-haired Romans that could be the immediate family of lighter-complexioned individuals (as is common in European populations). To extend Horace’s comment to Roman race is ludicrous. 

In the context of the entire Horace quote, it is quite clear that “niger” refers to character and not a literal reference to complexion. If you hear someone refer to “dark humor” does that mean a Negro comedian? Does “a black day in history” mean Marcus Garvey’s birthday? A more relevant question – is a positive trisomy 21 status a prerequisite for membership in Der Movement?

Let’s apply the standards Der Movement applies to the Roman Empire to the British Empire. Disraeli as prime minister? Proves that 19th century Britain was populated by Judeo-Semitic Levantine mongrels, a fact supported by Jewish graveyards in London’s ghettoes. Random quotes from Oliver Twist will confirm the degeneracy of the population. Hence, the British Empire collapsed because of racial admixture. QED.

Some things (among) many in Der Movement that are annoying. First, labeling people you disagree with as Feds, CIA assets, Jews, Russian shills, etc. – while at the same time ignoring the open infiltration of Der Movement by non-Whites. Then we have individuals (“Hood” and the late “Roberts” being prime examples) who write under different personas at the same time. The last annoyance to be mentioned here is the opposite of what was just mentioned – in this case an individual is incorrectly associated with other personas; in other words, actual different people (two or more) are assumed to be a single individual (this has happened to me several times). Interestingly, the same types who make incorrect accusations that “X” is really “Y” never catch on to the “Hood” and “Roberts” types.

People who obsess over “racial admixture” in Southern (and Eastern) Europe have a blind spot when it comes to those areas they favor. I’ve previously posted links to papers showing North Asian/Siberian ancestry in Northern Europe and have posted pictures of celebrities whose phenotypes are consistent with such ancestry. Let us consider another case. Actor Charles Bronson’s ancestors came to America from Lithuania. However, his father was of Lipka Tatar origin, which likely explains Bronson’s phenotype. However, let us be realistic – the only reason this detail is known is because Bronson was a famous actor (and one with an unusual appearance), so someone went digging into his background. Otherwise, he’d just be a “Lithuanian-American” and that’s that. It is also obvious that Bronson’s family were not the only people in Lithuania with such ancestry. So, in addition to the more ancient Asian/Siberian ancestry, the Baltic states no doubt have some more recent Tatar influences as well (that no doubt crossed borders into neighboring countries). But we are not “allowed” to discuss such things in Der Movement; it takes away from mentioning True Romance every 15 seconds. The reality is that low levels of admixture exist throughout Europe and Strom is right in that racial purity is something we need to strive for in the future, not some state of grace we fell from in the mythical past.\\

It’s all well and good to say that we should be infiltrating existing community organizations. But you really need at least several people acting as a coordinated unit to make it work. The real underlying issue is how to form local groups of trustworthy pro-White activists to begin with; social pricing, infiltrators, and possible spiteful apostates turning against the cause and against you are all impediments. I suspect that in any locale with a reasonably significant White population there will be at least several pro-White activists who do not know of each other’s existence and would not know how to safely establish contact. They could be neighbors or co-workers and they would not know it. For all I know, I could have neighbors and co-workers who are regular readers/listeners of my work, and I would never know it. The System/Left and their minions have created – intentionally – an atmosphere of fear and mistrust, and this is a problem. Facilitating networking would be an important role for pro-White organizations, but I’m skeptical that Der Movement could effectively do it even if they wanted to. Der Movement’s history with infiltrators and apostates is rather depressing.

When the major difference between America’s “two” parties (actually two wings of a single party) was economics/class, Italian-Americans supported the “working class” Democrats against the “country club Yankee” Republicans. Once the Democrats became the Colored/Left party, Italian-Americans  started shifting to the GOP, on the basis of race and social issues. They were attracted to Nixon’s false “Silent Majority Law and Order” image (some Italian-Americans  were Wallace supporters in 1968) and more so Reagan’s image of semi-populist social conservatism (“Reagan Democrats” = White ethnics) and even more so to Trump’s (fake) right-wing populism. On the other hand, Italian-Americans  have been less interested in the Bush family, Dole, McCain, Romney, etc. Italian-Americans  in general care about “sticking it to the darkies” and not about “capital gains tax cuts.”

Four axioms of warfare:

  • 1. Victory is achieved through offensive operations; defense alone is insufficient
  • 2. Total victory is achieved through the destruction of the enemy’s armed forces and their ability to resist, not merely by occupying territory.
  • 3. All else being equal, and if possible, encirclement and maneuver are superior to a direct frontal assault.
  • 4. While both are important, morale is more important than is material.

Now apply that to politics (war by other means).

If you are a graduate of a college/university, and graduate/professional school as well, you may get in the mail the school magazine and you can read the contents, full of far left activism of not only faculty and current students, but stories of how graduates are now engaging in Far Left anti-White, anti-male sociopolitical activism, across a broad front of activities, with not a single example of anything on the Right. The idea that “we’re winning” is again shown to be ludicrous; we’re losing and losing badly. As the Left engages in effective, broad-based real world activism that has real destructive consequences for us, the Right engages in esoteric theorizing and debate, tin foil hat conspiracy theorizing, with the occasional foray into real world activity in doing things like opposing abortion and vaccination. As the Right preaches anti-intellectualism and downward mobility, the Left has a stranglehold on academia and on the professions, and are constantly training new generations of activists. The reality is utterly catastrophic for our side.

See this. I know I posted about that before, but it is useful to look at again. You do not need to stress out over the math, just listen qualitatively to Harpending’s arguments; his debunking of Lewontin is complementary to my own. Also interesting is his discussion of Bushmen having a phenotype with East Asian-like characteristics, with speculation that this convergent evolution was no accident, implying the possibility of a common mechanism. Contra HBD dogma, that common mechanism, if it exists, obviously cannot be “cold, Arctic conditions.” My own theory that the East Asian phenotype is due to selection for neoteny is, unlike the Arctic theory, compatible with the Bushmen situation. It is therefore possible that both Mongoloids and Bushmen underwent selection for neoteny for environmental reasons and/or sexual selection; in the case of East Asians, these adaptions pre-selected them to be able to thrive after some of them moved from warm climates to cold climates in Northern Asia. So, I’m saying the opposite of HBD – Arctic conditions did not cause the Mongoloid phenotype; the Mongoloid phenotype, due to selection for neoteny, allowed Asians to live in Arctic conditions.

Why Don’t They Do This?

Why not try this?

My readers are aware that I am very critical of population genetics as it is practiced by System “scientists” and that I believe that population geneticists are to a large extent motivated by leftist political ideology. They fail to do things that should be done to advance scientific understanding. They do not do genetic kinship analysis on human DNA samples.  They do not run human genetic data through the Gillet-Gregorious DifferInt genetic integration program. And there is more.  

Consider the technology of this company.  Emphasis added:  

Starting with extracted DNA or biological evidence from your case, we will predict the unknown person’s ancestry and pigmentation, then perform a genetic genealogy screening to determine if such analysis would be helpful. If more information is needed, we can optionally produce a detailed phenotyping report and composite sketch and/or perform kinship analysis to advance the investigation. Armed with this scientifically objective information, you can conduct your investigation more efficiently and close cases more quickly…

…Parabon — with funding support from the US Department of Defense (DoD) — developed the Snapshot Forensic DNA Phenotyping System, which accurately predicts genetic ancestry, eye color, hair color, skin color, freckling, and face shape in individuals from any ethnic background, even individuals with mixed ancestry.

Because some traits are partially determined by environmental factors and not DNA alone, Snapshot trait predictions are presented with a corresponding measure of confidence, which reflects the degree to which such factors influence each particular trait. Traits, such as eye color, that are highly heritable (i.e., are not greatly affected by environmental factors) are predicted with higher accuracy and confidence than those that have lower heritability; these differences are shown in the confidence metrics that accompany each Snapshot trait prediction.

For criminal investigation-forensic purposes they can reconstruct the appearance of unknown persons through DNA analysis.

See this.

And this

Admittedly, this is far from perfect, and requires some interpretation (emphasis added):

Parabon’s technology “doesn’t tell you the exact number of millimeters between the eyes or the ratio between the eyes, nose, and mouth,” Greytak says. Without that sort of precision, facial recognition algorithms cannot deliver accurate results—but deriving such precise measurements from DNA would require fundamentally new scientific discoveries, she says, and “the papers that have tried to do prediction at that level have not had a lot of success.” Greytak says Parabon only predicts the general shape of someone’s face

On the other hand, see this.  Emphasis added:

Here, another proof of concept to biometric authentication is established by using multiple face-to-DNA classifiers, each classifying given faces by a DNA-encoded aspect (sex, genomic background, individual genetic loci), or by a DNA-inferred aspect (BMI, age). Face-to-DNA classifiers on distinct DNA aspects are fused into one matching score for any given face against DNA. In a globally diverse, and subsequently in a homogeneous cohort, we demonstrate preliminary, but substantial true (83%, 80%) over false (17%, 20%) matching in verification mode.

See this.  Look at the three examples of matching real faces vs. AI-generated faces based on DNA data; left is real, right AI-generated. So, while the technology is not perfect, it can give useful information right now, and whatever information we get right now can be further improved depending upon future advancements. So, there is potential in this today.

Autosomal genomes exist from ancient samples such as from Egypt, Greece, Rome, and elsewhere.  Why not run that data through “DNA to Face” methodologies and generate phenotypes?  It would also be interesting to see to what modern ancestry the ancient samples would be associated with, as per applications like Parabon. What forensic profiles would be generated from such ancient data?

We can attempt to extend the technology even further. What about the Neanderthal genome?  Why not try that? Why wouldn’t we want to reconstruct the appearance of a Neanderthal based on genetic data? How about Otzi the Iceman?  

Think of the possibilities of what can be done with all of the extant, and future, historical DNA samples and such technology. And yet no one has done this.  Why don’t they do this?  Do you need more evidence that population geneticists are unimaginative dullards, in addition to being political hacks?  Is the reluctance to try these methodologies due at least in part to leftist politics?

Other news:

So, I have heard that AncestryDNA has done an update of their population samples and, not surprisingly, customers have been getting updates with some changes. Will anyone will shocked to learn that when new regions are sampled as parental populations then established customers may pick up some percentage of ancestry from those regions? Will the Retard Right ever understand how supervised admixture analysis is done?  Will they understand how the results of such analysis depends on what samples are used as the references? I won’t even get into the issue of statistical error here. Will idiots like Sir Dachshund continue to breathlessly post their ancestry profiles (and that from what I consider the least accurate of these companies) every five minutes?

Back during the Trump administration a book was published on Ancient Rome – Mortal Republic– about how the Roman Republic descended into chaos and then autocracy, with leftists breathlessly peddling the book as a warning against the “MAGA fascists.”  But let’s look at a quote from the beginning of the book:

Politics in such a republic should not be a zero-sum game. The politician who wins a political struggle may be honored, but one who loses should not be published.

Well then. Which side does that really apply to? What with Trump being indicted every five microseconds and people being prosecuted and persecuted for “Jan. 6” (while George Floyd insurrectionists are ignored) it is clear that real “danger to the Republic” comes primarily from the Left (although the general trend to have impeachment hearings and endless scandals as a “tit-for-tat” retaliation for one President after another is corrosive of proper governing and the blame for that can go around for the entire System).

More Nonsense on Rome, July 2023

Smart men create good science. Dumb men create bad science. 

Dishonest Amren breathlessly posts about the nonsense discussed by me and others at Gab yesterday.

Commentator:

Rome was founded by the Nordic Latini & Sabine tribes who eventually created the Republic but slowly incorporated all manner of diversity as the Empire grew until the Nordic population disappeared & was replaced by North African, Middle Eastern & Meditternean people.

Then the Nordic Visigoths & Lombards invaded & dominated Italy. The intelligence of the Early Republic & Late Antiquity coincided with the emergence of a homogenous populace & ended with a diverse populace.

Of course there is ZERO genetic evidence of that. Der Movement always, always, ALWAYS lies.

But we must give credit to Taylor and Amren for revealing that Lynn was promoting his own work while writing under a pseudonym, thus putting the final nail in the coffin to Lynn’s disgraced credibility.

But, never fear Lynnites. The Great Man may be burning in hell but his acolytes continue to produce nonsense today.

Amren:

Smart men create good times. Dumb men create bad times.

Yeah….so dem dere polygenic-based “Roman IQ” estimates were highest during the time of Civil War (Republic) and Fall (Late Antiquity) and lowest during the time of Pax Romana and Imperial stability.

Dumb men indeed.

Thus, I have written about this before. To categorize those Iron Age/Republic Roman samples (only six out of nine by the way) as “Central European” means essentially having gene sharing with Basque-French (including Southern French). Implications that they were Germanic are a LIE. These are Lynn acolytes reviewed by other idiots. 

See this. Also see the original work on ancient Rome.

See my review.

To be fair to the “movement,” some (not all) of the Iron Age/Republic samples have significant haplotype sharing with “Central and Northern Europe.” However, most of the Roman samples with significant haplotype sharing with “Central and Northern Europe” are actually those from the Late Antiquity and Medieval and Early Modern periods. Moreover, looking at Roman samples with significant haplotype sharing with “Southern Italy” and “Greek” (as well with the general “Southern Europe and Mediterranean” category), some of these are Iron Age/Republic. In fact, some of the same Iron Age/Republic Roman samples have relatively high haplotype sharing with both sets of modern populations (Europeans in general tending to share many genetics) – sample R1 is a prime example of this phenomenon. Note that “Basque” is included in the “Central and Northern Europe” category and some Iron Age/Republic samples (R473, R105) with relatively high “Central and Northern Europe” actually have relatively higher haplotype sharing with Basques and French.

Figure S27 is a PCA of the Figure S26 haplotype data and clarifies some issues. Of the Roman samples that are outside the range of modern (North-Central-South) Italy, those that are shifted in the direction of populations of actual Northern and Central European origin (e.g., Roman samples R1219,106, 62, 1286, 1288, 1224, 116, 31) are all from the Late Antiquity and Medieval and Early Modern periods (decline, fall, post-fall). Several of the Iron Age/Republic samples that seem to show relatively high haplotype sharing with “Central and Northern Europe” in Figure S26 are actually shifted in the direction of “Spanish” and “Basque” (and to some degree “French”) in Figure S27 – these include the aforementioned R473 and R1015. The aforementioned R1 sample clusters near “Northern Italy.” Another Iron Age/Republic sample (R850) is in between “Southern Italy” and “Cypriot” in Figure S27. Other Iron Age/Republic samples are close to “Spanish.” Thus, the Iron Age/Republic samples are mostly “West Mediterranean” with some being “Central Mediterranean” (and one or two are outliers), with the former “West Mediterranean” group tending to have more of the relatively high haplotype sharing with “Central and Northern Europe” (likely due to the Basque or Basque/French similarities). I do not observe any of the Iron Age/Republic samples overlapping Northern European populations in the PCA of Figure S27.

Thus, the fraction of Iron Age/Republic samples that exhibit significant haplotype sharing with “Central and Northern Europe” tend to either (1) also exhibit significant haplotype sharing with “Southern Italy/Greek” as well as “Northern Italy” and “Central Italy” and hence end up overlapping with Northern Italy; or (2) be shifted in the direction of Basques/Spain, exhibiting a West Mediterranean genotype more Western Hunter Gatherer (WHG)-enriched than other “Mediterranean” populations, thus resulting in enhanced haplotype sharing with other WHG-enriched populations. On the other hand, a smaller fraction of the Iron Age/Republic samples are of a Central/East Mediterranean type (along with an unusual Etruscan sample that may or may not be an outlier for the general Etruscan population), with less haplotype sharing with WHG-enriched populations and, in general, modest haplotype sharing with several of the other population groupings used for comparisons.

The Iron Age/Republic samples therefore crudely cluster in two groups – the larger group centered on Northern Italy, Central Italy, Basques, Spain, and to some extent France; and a smaller group centered on Central Italy, Southern Italy, general Southern Europe/Central Mediterranean, with some associations with East Mediterranean, as well as that Etruscan sample previously mentioned.

A careful examination of the Antonio 2019 data, instead of breathless superficial look at labels given to genetic components, clearly demonstrate that the “Central European” in the Iron Age/Republic was predominantly Western Mediterranean.  The Late Antiquity and Medieval samples – where the Western Empire Fell and then we had the Dark Ages leading to Medieval times (not a great period for Italy) did have samples whose “Central European” were genuinely akin to Der Movement’s favorite ethnies – associating those ethnies with Decline, Fall, and Degradation.

Thus, the post-Republic peaks and lows of Roman power are inversely correlated to their claims of intelligence. So they are saying that intelligence was rising in Late Antiquity, when Rome fell, and was decreasing at the height of its power, Imperial.

Besides the fact that their assertions about intelligence are inversely correlated to the well-being of the Western Roman Empire, the Eastern Empire lasted another 1,000 years despite being populated by what they would call lower IQ populations. This would suggest that their presumptions about the IQ of the population masses had little to nothing to do with the “Fall” of anything.

One can imagine HBDers of the future examining remains from 20th century London graveyards and concluding that the British Empire collapsed because of the influx of low IQ migrants to the capital. Too bad it was the high IQ British who self-destructed, which allowed the influx to begin with.

Truth is, there has never been an empire that has lasted and it is not clear how high IQ could have saved the Western Roman Empire in its full form. In retrospect, perhaps they should have let Romanized Gauls, Germans, Britons, and Iberians spin off independent kingdoms, hopefully friendly and allied with Rome and just tried to defend a rump Western Empire of Italy, North Africa (important economically), and maybe Southern France, perhaps re-integrated with a rump Eastern Empire of the Balkans and Eastern Anatolia. If Egypt could be maintained, fine, if not, let it go.

Another point is that the “high IQ Republic” could not solve basic problems that led to Empire and its eventual fall. A slave-based economy, leading to frequent war and excessive expansion, and the cosmopolitanism that came in its wake, a military loyal to their commanders and not to the state, ambitious rival “First Men in Rome,” and corruption.

Nonsense from paper:

The PC1 scores were lowest in the imperial period, and higher in the republican and mediaeval periods. Thus, they can be interpreted as Western European ancestry…

Why didn’t they use the more detailed PCA already in the Antonio paper? Because the data didn’t match their story. That’s how HBD works – start out with your conclusion and then work backward to generate the data specifically to match your desired outcome.

One of the reviewers of that crap paper is:

Anon Anonsen (pseudonym)

Country: Not stated

Affilation: Not stated

Job title: Not stated

“Anon Anonsen.” Err…very professional. Was that paper reviewed before Lynn died?  Who knows?  Anon Anonsen = Hippocrates????????????????

See this, emphasis added:

OpenPsych is an online collection of three open access journals covering behavioral genetics, psychology, and quantitative research in sociology. Many articles on OpenPsych promote scientific racism,[1] and the site has been described as a “pseudoscience factory-farm”.[2] The journals were started in 2014 by Emil Kirkegaard, an activist with ties to the far-right, and Davide Piffer, an Italian parapsychologist, who had difficulty publishing their research in mainstream peer-reviewed scientific journals.[1][3] The website describes them as open peer reviewed journals, but the qualifications and neutrality of the reviewers have been disputed.

So, these guys are publishing in a journal that they themselves started, with poor peer review.

Sounds about right for the Lynn legacy.

Odds and Ends, 2/3/23

In der news.

Am I inconsistent in being a STEM-oriented futurist while also agreeing with the underlying premise of the novella The Machine Stops? No. See this. Particularly, pay attention to the section about the tale of the machines in Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun. Science and technics are tools, means and not ends, and only human needs and wants and interests – whether these be rational or irrational – are the ends that can inform what means need to be used. We can not or should not sacrifice our humanity at the altar of the machine. On the other hand, we can not and should not sacrifice human progress at the altar of the hobbit hole.

Oy Vey!  More Jewish whining. If FOX blocks the direct link:

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/my-grandfather-plotted-daring-escape-auschwitz-heres-how-he-cheated-death

The rest of us can now discuss how Jewish-led racial integration (and mass immigration), ruined our lives, wrecked our neighborhoods, killed our family members, made public school into a living hell, and stole our country from us.

I won’t mock Torba about the Christian thing here but instead I will endorse the overall message. Just replace “Christian” with “White.” Of course, Torba and the rest of Der Right need to consider why STEM, including the IT field, is 99% or so on the Left. Keep on gibbering about religion, that will help, no doubt.

See this.  Consider the tweets Strom is responding to and then acknowledge that I am 100% correct when I talk about affirmative action in the “movement.”  When Der Movement considers right-wing Whites as prospective leaders, all that matters is ethnic ancestry and phenotype, with merit and ability being at best secondary and more typically irrelevant. To Der Movement, even dark-eyed, dark-haired Northern Europeans are suspect and potentially rejected; obviously Southern Europeans (and, usually, Eastern Europeans to some extent) have zero chance of passing muster, regardless of their ability and credentials.  Only Northwest Europeans with Nordic-style phenotypes are completely acceptable. How can any honest person deny this?

According to work by David Nemec, “Count” Campau faced “prejudice” because he was (mistakenly) thought to be Italian.  I looked up this person. Emphasis added:

He was given his unusual nickname because he resembled an Italian noblemanCampau stood out from other ballplayers. He was “graceful and distinguished looking,” and handsome with his dark complexion and “luxuriant” mustache. 

 Swarthy frog Campau had talent, thus:

From July 5 to July 23, he made at least two hits in 15 consecutive games, establishing a major-league record that still stands

But, alas, he looked like a wop, so…

Can the Italic Institute take some time off from praising Jews and virtue signaling against segregationists and instead comment on the Burr Ridge situation?

It’s strange that the Eloi ethnonationalists criticize the EU since that entity – led by Germans with French junior partners, with the UK being a strong junior partner as well before Brexit – exemplifies the ethnoimperialist mindset. The PIGS countries of Southern Europe are scorned and serve as colonies for Eloi expats wanting to escape bad weather and Color, while Eastern European nations are economic colonies – being deindustrialized and even with agriculture being wrecked, to serve as a source of raw materials and as a captive market for Eloi goods produced in the “West.” Then when these non-Eloi countries go into debt because they are not allowed to produce anything, that’ll be ascribed to “laziness” and “inferiority” and Eloi bankers will come in to pick the carcass clean of any remaining economic flesh. What could the Counter-Currents crowd have to complain about that?

This is why Christianity must be unalterably opposed and mercilessly destroyed. Also note the suggestion that (Ancient) Greeks were/are not “White Europeans.” So, according to Der Right, the Ancient Greeks were either (a) Nordics or (b) not White Europeans, because as we know, non-Nordic White Europeans do not exist, have never existed, and cannot exist. Note well how Nordicism, love of Coloreds, and Christianity form a seamless whole.

Christianity is the enemy. Crush the infamy!

Also notice how Der Right’s arguments in this case are ALL about proximate issues. It’s been twenty years since Salter introduced the EGI concept and it has had zero impact amongst the broader Right. Again, dispassionate, objective, purely rational arguments are not enough. Ultimately, Irrational Man gets convinced by passionate polemical argumentation. Thus, I note that with all of the controversies about immigration in the “West” no one who has the public ear even broaches the idea that the immigration is demographically damaging to Whites on an innate racial, genetic, EGI level. Even when Carlson mentions The Great Replacement, that is typically in a political-cultural context of “liberals brining in more Democrat voters.” So when Babylon Bee High Trust scum talk about “innately conservative Catholic immigrants,” Der Right flounders around trying to rebut that, again with proximate values. There’s been a complete failure of Der Movement to affect the discourse in a manner in which race replacement is viewed as bad in and of itself, rather than merely because of possible political-cultural and socioeconomic downstream effects of those changes. So, then, if large numbers of hard-working, conservative, assimilating, GOP-voting aliens stream in, what would Carlson say to that? Again, a failure of Der Movement, and a failure of the objective dispassionate empirical approach of promotion of the EGI concept (and it certainly didn’t help that certain more retarded elements of Der Movement have actually attacked EGI rather than promoting it). This has been a metapolitical (and, ultimately, political) catastrophe.

See this.

It’s hard to be the first at anything these days, but here is Spencer J. Quinn’s The No College Club, which is billed as the first white-positive young adult (YA) novel.

LAUGH AT THIS!

Counter-Currents not only lies, but their lies are refuted by their own posts. TOO is just as bad.

But as bad as TOO is, Counter-Currents is the absolute worst.

OK, very well.  And here is another one:
