Lynnian Fraud

The fundamentally dishonest “movement.”

The anti-White ethnic (self-described) yellow supremacist site American Renaissance repeats Lynn’s lies here, which I’ve already refuted.

Also see here.

And get this - important sections reproduced here (emphasis added):

Despite the minor differences between the studies, our results demonstrate quite clearly that raw scores [on Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices] of children from Sicily are not lower than those [of children from the North and Central-South] reported by Cornoldi et al. (2010). On the contrary, they are sometimes higher…Our examination of intelligence test score differences between the north and south of Italy led to results that are very different from those reached by Lynn (2010a). Our results demonstrate that by using intelligence tests to assess differences in ability rather than using achievement scores as a proxy for intelligence, children from the south of Italy did not earn lower scores than those from the north of Italy. Rather, they were even higher in Raven's CPM...

You see, real academics use actual intelligence tests, as opposed to “PISA tests.”  Note how Lynn and his acolytes ignore actual intelligence test scores that yield results that they do not like – while eagerly clinging to “proxy” tests (e.g., PISA achievement tests) that yield results of which they approve. 

...Naglieri et al. (submitted for publication) studied the differences between the psychometric qualities of the CAS [Cognitive Assessment System] for the Italian and US standardization samples. Although the goal of that study was not to make regional comparisons, they did report that there were no significant differences (F(1, 806)=2.19, p=.11) between the average CAS-Italian Full Scale standard scores (set at a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15) for students from the northern (M=100.5; SD=13.2), central (M=101.2; SD=11.9), and southern (M=103.1; SD=11.6) regions of Italy. The mean standard scores for the students in the north were only slightly lower than the mean for those in the south (effect size=.21). These results suggest that a test of intelligence that measures basic neuropsychological processes, and does not include academically laden verbal and quantitative tests, yields small differences between the regional groups. These findings also amplify the importance of measuring intelligence directly when comparing groups and argue against using reading, math and science test scores as "proxies for intelligence" (Lynn, 2010a).

Lynn - wrong,wrong, wrong.  Perfect HBD flim-flam.  Lies, lies, and more lies.

As previously chronicled at this blog, Lynn believes in a simple additive model of IQ – that is, e.g.,that an even mix of a 100 IQ population with a 70 IQ population gives a 85 IQ population. Now, that doesn’t work out for African-Americans of course. Now, let’s look at his Afrowop speculations. According to this simpleton’s additive model ideas, if he believes that Sicilians have an IQ of “89” due to admixture of Southern Europeans (presumably Northern Italian types with IQs in the “Northcentral European range”) with “low IQ North Africans,” then he must believe that North Africans have IQs in the 70s and that Sicilians are about 50% North African – both ludicrously incorrect.

And don’t get me started on the mysteriously variable Irish IQ either.

The man is a moronic idiot and a buffoon. As is anyone who believes his discredited nonsense.

And that all underscores the fundamental dishonesty of American Renaissance. Even if a HBD yellow supremacist site like that believes Lynn, they should at least state the fact that Lynn has plenty of critics (including on the Right) about these specific issues, even if for no other reason than to say those critics are wrong.  But, no.  Let the gullible reader believe that all folks on the Right follow Lynnian doctrine. It’s religious dogma, after all. Don’t question the faith!

An appropriate title for Counter-Currents.

Disgusting hypocrisy.

Q: What is ethnonationalism?

A: Ethnonationalism is the idea according to which each distinct ethnic group should enjoy political sovereignty and a homeland or ethnically homogenous homelands. Opposed to this is multi-culturalism, which affirms that multiple ethnic groups should share the same homelands and governments.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t apply to, say, Hungary, eh?  Vile hypocritical scum.

Q: What is white nationalism?

A: White nationalism is a political philosophy which seeks to define national identity in racial terms rather than in terms of religion, culture, or religious faith. White nationalism makes more sense in the context of colonial European societies such as the United States, in which the older white ethnic identities have been weakened by intermixing of immigrant stock, thereby creating an ever more united white generic identity.

That’s not the same definition of WN he’s given on his blog and his podcasts, in which he dishonestly attempts to equate ethnonationalism and White nationalism.  Here, he gives a more correct definition of WN, but then dishonestly attempts to restrict it to the USA and other European diaspora nations. Yes, now, run along and sell more Yockey books, you despicable turd.

“Global White Nationalist,” indeed.  Think of all the men’s room urinals around the world as yet unexplored!

Another characteristic of the alt-right that Salazar highlights distinguishes it sharply from supremacist movements and various forms of the Old Right: the sense that there is time. Alt-right thinkers express an optimism and patience entirely lacking in old Right-wing movements.

Sure!  Plenty of time!  Who cares that the four years of the Trump Presidency were completed wasted by comically inept Quota Queens?  Just keep on sending in dem dere “D’Nations!”

“White Kung-fu” (John Derbyshire)

A better title: “White measured groveling.”  

I have to say that I completely agree with anti-racist activists that Der Movement is a fraud and that it preys on the insecurities of troubled (typically young) White men.  Where I disagree is with the antis’ assertions that racial nationalism itself is bad, that Der Movement and racial nationalism are one and the same  (the former is merely an existing perversion of the latter), that all people in racial nationalism are troubled souls, and that the exploitation of the troubled souls that do exist (people who typically turn apostate and become antis themselves) are to recruit them for racial nationalism – no, actually it is to exploit them for “D’Nations,” to create “followers” for egotistical “leaders,” and to subvert authentic racial nationalism by tempting these flawed people into cul-de-sacs like HBD, ethnonationalism, and Nordicism.
