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:

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 nobleman…Campau 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. 

Really? The first? What about this? Liars. Wrong, wrong, they are always, always, ALWAYS wrong.

Counter-Currents ALWAYS lies.

LAUGH AT THIS!

And young people . . .

My 18-year-old thought it was brilliant . . . and approachable.

The Hungry Wolves of Van Diemen’s Land is approachable because it is written via the voices of young people…”

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:

Nordics were the original founders of the classical civilization of both Ancient Greece and Rome

Odds and Ends, 10/23/22

In der news.

I notice that since the end of WWII, every time the High Trusters get racially threatened by Coloreds, the High Trusters become more Nordicist and start attacking White ethnics, particularly Southern Europeans, who not only did not cause the Colored problems, but in most cases also suffered from it. In America, the “civil rights movement,” integration, and the post-1965 mass Colored immigration triggered Nordicism, leading to Sir Humphrey, McCulloch, Pearce, and Duke, etc. Then, after the election of Obama and continued mass immigration and out-of-control illegal immigration, we now have the revival of more Nordicism in Der Movement, including HBD-Nordicism. The end of apartheid in South Africa led to the radical Nordicist gibbering of Arthur Kemp. The pattern is clear.  Afraid of dealing with Coloreds, the High Trusters look to White ethnics as easy outlets for their racial fears and frustrations.

Consider – a long period of outrages against native Britons by Colored colonists caused the Britons to turn against the EU and complain about White EU immigration, after which we got Brexit, cut the White immigration while increasing the Colored immigration that was causing the real problems to begin with.

Racial Proximity Theory anyone?

And the argument against that theory by invoking hostility against Jews doesn’t cut it. First of all, sustained anti-Semitism in Germanic countries was mostly Germany and Austria. Second, such anti-Jewish hostility was more intense among South German types than among more Nordic North Germans. Third, Germans being more hostile to Jews than to Negroes actually supports, not refutes, Racial Proximity Theory.

Jim Crow in America doesn’t refute it either. In the South, the divide was Anglo-Negro; in the North, there was plenty of hostility against the White ethnics who were present there, and, there were always the John Lindsay types who preferred Blacks and Hispanics to White ethnics. It is difficult to think of any strong refutation of Racial Proximity Theory.

Speaking (no pun intended) of Racial Proximity Theory, meet Tris Speaker, Texas Southron. First, his attitude toward White ethnics:

Despite the team’s success on the field, tensions were often high in the clubhouse. Speaker and catcher Carrigan never got along and had several brawls. Speaker was often not on speaking terms with Duffy Lewis, who, like Carrigan, was an Irish Catholic. (Religious differences had created cliques on the club, with Speaker siding with other Protestants including Joe Wood and Larry Gardner). The atmosphere grew more complicated with the arrival of Babe Ruth in 1915. Ruth crossed Wood and Speaker never fully forgave him. In his book Baseball As I Have Known It, Fred Lieb wrote that Speaker once told Lieb he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Although the Klan kept its membership rolls secret, Speaker’s alleged membership would not be surprising given that the Klan experienced a nationwide revival beginning in 1915, gaining much popularity with its anti-Catholic rhetoric. In addition, the Klan’s national leader from 1922 to 1939, Imperial Wizard Hiram W. Evans, lived near Speaker in Hubbard…newcomer Joe DiMaggio’s graceful play in the Yankees outfield inevitably caused comparisons to Speaker. The proud Texan bristled at the suggestion that DiMaggio was a worthy successor. When asked about the Yankee Clipper in 1939, Speaker responded, “HIM? I could name 15 better outfielders!

And now, his relationship with the Negro:

In 1947, at the request of general manager Bill Veeck, Tris returned to uniform as a special coach, to help convert Larry Doby, who had played second base in the Negro Leagues, into a center fielder.

It gets worse with Tris Speaker; here he defends a Negro against White “racism” –

Tris Speaker pointed to the racial tension of the era, saying, “the poor guy came up under the worst possible conditions… [he] had nothing to do with the condition that made him the target of the boo birds.”

Big Bad KKKer Speaker, attacking the micks and wops but treating every Negro as if their name was “Ben Dover.”

A Gab correspondent alerts me to this:

The Ostrogoths came as conquerors and treated the Italians as such. They practiced the typical custom of appropriating one third of the lands or productive revenues for themselves; they barred the Romans from military service; and the kingship (the most powerful position in the Kingdom) was exclusive to the Ostrogoths, who remained consciously separated from the Romans and adhered to their own law. They had no intention of assimilating or of being equals. According to their own law, Ostrogoths were forbidden from attending Roman schools, and intermarriage between Romans and Goths was prohibited.

The Ostrogoths were also Arians (a heretical religious sect which denied the divinity of Jesus Christ and opposed Catholicism). Despite the vaunted “tolerance” of Theodoric emphasized by current historians, the reality is that towards the end of his reign he began to persecute Catholics.

Even though the civil administration remained in Italian hands, and even though Italy’s Roman customs and institutions were largely undisturbed, in the end the Italians were still a subjugated people, subject to the Ostrogothic military class and to the king.

Well then, those Ostrogoths were certainly high trust altruistic non-ethnocentric individualists, eh?  Seriously though, the MacDonaldite thesis about “Western individualism” is continuously refuted

Odds and Ends, 7/24/22

In der news.

WN 3.0 = multiracial “White nationalism.” It is the victory of Hart’s “Asians and others” multiracial “White separatist state.” It is the victory of Sailer’s “Jeurasian” concept. Rosie and the Kids! Neil, Lipton, and the boys! Mama Malkin!

Of course, in such a scheme there needs to be an outgroup, some enemy. Problem solved – it’s the White ethnics, those runty penned up chicken Morlocks.

Thus,  WN 3.0 is not just Fuentes. I see it as the triumph of two forces, on the one hand, HBD race realism, and on the other, the big tent idea of merging WN with civic nationalism. The underlying force holding it together is ditching exclusive WN with an inclusive right-wing populism that includes Neil Kumar, Malkin, Lipton Matthews, Rosie and the KIds (Derbyshire clan), while, at the same time, firmly rejecting White ethnics. The essence of WN 3.0:

NikandrosNovember 26, 2021 at 8:33 am White nationalists are now more welcoming of Asians, Jews, Jamaicans, and mutts into the movement than they are of Southern and Eastern Europeans. Where did it all go so wrong?

On a related note – people who view themselves as “angels” and as “swan-like Eloi” will lack the introspective self-awareness required to stop making repeated catastrophic errors of judgment. As we see.

The Far Right needs to analyze what exactly is the problem the Putin regime has with Ukrainian “Nazis.” Is it merely a petty rhetorical trick to trigger Russians with memories of WWII? Given that Ukrainians are Eastern European Slavs, it can’t be that Putin believes that the Ukrainians are anti-Slavic Germocentric Hitlerites, can it? Or is it a narrowly anti-Russian form of Nazism, which would be strange given how ethnically similar Russians are to Ukrainians? Forgetting for a moment that Ukraine has a Jewish President, is Putin concerned with anti-Semitism? Why? Or is it a anti-racist concern with “Nazi hatred” of non-Whites, particularly Russia’s Asiatic minorities? Is that “based?” Or is it a general hostility to “cave man” ethnic and racial nationalism that can threaten Russia’s multi-ethnic state? Is Putin a champion of liberal democracy? Is it a deep-seated Russian civilizational hatred of the West and Ukraine’s desire to be part of the West (Nazism!)? Whatever the answer, it seems that inevitably the Russian stance on this makes them either petty, culturally anti-Western, or part of “Globohomo.” Which is it, Putin fanboys?

All of this good news – chaos and balkanization! – and Der Movement makes no significant progress. The Quota Queens have FAILED, they are morally, spiritually, and politically bankrupt – REPLACE THEM. That should be the real “Great Replacement.”

I’m surprised that we haven’t yet had called for Baseball Hall of Fame selections to be rescinded because of “racism.” Anson, Landis, and Yawkey will have their plaques thrown out in the Cooperstown trash. Revisionism might save Cobb; he’ll have his plaque merely relocated to a bathroom stall, mounted above the toilet paper dispenser. Social justice!

Commercialized Amusement Business

An analogy.

Historian Harold Seymour cogently stated that professional baseball is not a sport, but rather a “commercialized amusement business.” This truth (*) applies to all other professional “sports” as well. By analogy, what else can that description apply to?

There are some who no doubt expect, or hope, that my trajectory will mimic that of Ian Jobling. First, become involved in the “movement.” Then, become a critic of the “movement” but still involved in activism. Finally, finish by dropping out of activism completely and disavowing it.

Sorry to disappoint such hopeful individuals, but…no. The essential difference is that someone like Jobling was interested in White preservation for proximate reasons. If I recall his explanation, it was that Whites are the group that best embody the liberal, Universalist, Rawlsian ethics he (Jobling) supported. I, on the other hand, am a hardcore racialist and racial nationalist, whose interest in White preservation (and advancement) revolves around ultimate issues of genetic continuity, and more important proximate interests of racial phenotypic expressions, including the extended phenotype of High Culture. My commitment is therefore existential, not an epiphenomenon of some other (liberal-based) concern.

My essential disagreement with Der Movement is that it is a pathetic failure and a farce, a fraud that actually works against these aforementioned deeply-held interests of mine regarding key issues of race and civilization.

Getting back to Harold Seymour and the analogy, Der Movement is not really a racialist political movement, but rather it is a commercialized amusement business. The Quota Queens provide entertainment for the hobbyist rank-and-file, and get in exchange all of the “D’Nations,” “membership dues,” “paywall payments,” and other perks (fame, a bit of power over their entertainment industry – e.g., didn’t Steinbrenner enjoy his power as a baseball team owner?). Now, true enough, some of the customers take things a little too seriously – Robert Mathews for example – but that happens throughout the entertainment business. There are “sports” fans that become obsessed, even violent; celebrities have stalkers; there are nerds whose lives revolve around Star Trek or Star Wars. So, why shouldn’t the “racialist” commercialized amusement business be any different? The similarities are endless. You have your stars (“rock stars” we are told, eh?), devoted fanboys, the equivalent of box scores (look at our page hits!), famous games and shows (Unite the Right), mythical figures (Rockwell as Ty Cobb, Pierce as Babe Ruth, Duke as Joe DiMaggio, etc.), we even had someone once make “trading cards” of “movement” and HBD personages.  You have your celebrity feuds and online “flame wars.” And then there are the fan conventions (American Renaissance, for example).

But, alas, I actually take all of this seriously; I demand accountability and results. I actually want a real political movement that achieves racialist objectives. That’s the real reason I’m labeled “insane” and a “paranoid piece of crap.”

Doesn’t it all make sense now?

Note:

*This is why (typically leftist) assertions that the (Colored or White SJW) players of today are superior to the (White “racist”) players of the past are essentially irrelevant.  Baseball today is painfully boring – an endless parade of home runs, strikeouts, and walks, dominated by juiced up hitters swinging wildly at juiced up baseballs and by faceless relief pitchers with surgical scars on their elbows. With respect to entertainment value, the game of the past was vastly superior to that of today, assertions (right or wrong) about “quality of play” notwithstanding.

Thus, even the crude, amateur baseball played at the Elysian Fields in the 1840s was no doubt more entertaining than what passes for “sport” played at, say, Yankee Stadium, today. Therefore, why is the latter “superior” to the former?  It is not – at least not with respect to what it actually is meant to be, entertainment.

The difference is that racial activism is supposed to be neither sport nor entertainment, but political activity with real world biocultural consequences. Thus, here, objective superiority is defined by the ability to achieve political objectives.
