Exit Stage Left

More Der Movement.

Trump and the DOJ have all the legal justification they need to act against Antifa. Instead of doing so, they legally persecute the victims of Antifa.

Trump, by his action and inaction, reveals himself to be a de facto radical leftist.

When he is removed from office, either by election or by a successful impeachment trial (or by resignation after impeachment), he will “exit stage left.”

In general, this was a good podcast, but there were a few low points.

Taylor – a self-declared “free market capitalist.”  That’s a dividing line made very clear, isn’t it?  I have stated over the years that I have nothing against the free market in principle, but I do not fetishize it. Tucker Carlson made cogent criticisms of unrestrained predatory capitalism, and I would like to see Taylor comment on Carlson’s economic views.

Kersey – who obviously doesn’t know the difference between an “oxymoron” and a “redundant statement.”

Gavin Newsom – with his “Nordic children.” And - he’s not “light in the loafers.”  Is that – gasp! – a homophobic statement?  I can imagine that the “Mannerbund” faction of Der Movement is not going to like that at all.  Der Movement always likes to talk about the impeding fracturing of the “coalition of the fringes.”  Yes, but the same can be said about Der Movement itself. We all know about the feuds, but it goes deeper than that.

Apparently, there are people in the “movement” who really don’t like homosexuality; others in the “movement” are themselves homosexual.  We have some people in the “movement” who consider Richard Spencer the worst person in human history; others in the “movement” happily associate with Spencer and host him on their podcasts. And those are just two examples of the barely concealed fissures and inconsistencies among people who, on the surface, seem to be part of a broad coalition, but are likely just one argument away from descending into Spencer-Johnson levels of animus. There’s an unstable coalition of the fringes on the Right as well as on the Left.

And, again, this is not “Sallis being a troublemaker” or “Sallis is crazy and bitter.”  This is an issue of ethics and morality, an issue of consistency.  If Joe publicly labels John as an immoral destructive influence, and really believes that, then how can Joe cheerfully collaborate with friends and allies of John?  If Tim believes that “X, Y, Z” is harmful, how can Tim be taken seriously if Tim hobnobs with supporters, promoters, and practitioners of X, Y, Z?  If someone sacrifices moral integrity for political convenience, they then forfeit any right to pose as a “leader.”

And, as Tom Hagen says in The Godfather, it is business, not personal.  I have nothing personally against any of these people, if they do good I praise them, if they reformed I would support them, and if they were in trouble I would help them.  But if you want to be a leader, you have to actually be a leader, not an affirmative action empty suit.  There has to be accountability. Someone has to be out there, a third party observer not involved in “movement” politics and petty feuding over money and status, who can honestly criticize. I know these guys don’t think of it that way, and they do take it personally, but that just demonstrates their weakness.  Instead of fuming over their honest critics, they should thank them.  That they do not realize this demonstrates the validity of my criticism.

Did all of the Unz money dry up?

I’ll be reviewing books, talking about this and that, abusing reporters, and working on a weird startup (details to follow).  

Is the start-up organizing the Israeli army to conquer Italy?

Consulting work on algorithm development, GPU programming, miscellaneous software, and estimating your date’s breeding value is welcome.

As long as the date is East Asian, you’re all set.

And now the other shoe drops.

Why does the Right always have to be an embarrassment?  These guys are not going to attract White STEM activists, and that is a shame, and will in the long run be a costly deficit.

Now, I still support this fellow and his lawsuit, but the optics of all these people are terrible, absolutely terrible.  The only prominent person in Der Movement who, in my opinion, has decent optics is Jared Taylor.  All the others should try to emulate him, re: optics.  Although, true, there also is a place for “firebrand” types – albeit those who are serious, not lulzing jackasses.

Speaking of the lawsuit, while I support it and hope Allen wins, I’m not as optimistic of his chances as are others.  I mean – if you really believe the System is dedicated to White genocide, how can you so blithely assume that facts, logic, and an airtight case actually mean anything?

Now, cases like this should still be done.  The enemy should be confronted, and there is always a chance of getting a relatively honest judge and jury.  Stranger things have happened.  Who knows?  Maybe there will be an out-of-court settlement.  Anything is possible.  Just be prepared for the possibility of a completely outrageous politically-motivated misreading of the actual legal issues at stake here.

Answer: Trump/Pence.

A Counter-Currents commentator confirms my skepticism:

The peculiarity of our situation is that our enemy is not Jews and POCs but our fellow-Whites: it is them who vote the establishment into office….

That's why Johnson and McCulloch are delusional, arguing over when victory will occur.  Better to argue over if.

A Counter-Currents writer:

All of John’s criticisms are valid. My knowledge of America is very much derived from books and pop culture.

Then why are you writing essays about an America you know absolutely nothing about?
