The Pettiness of the Right

More odds and ends.

The thing that irritates me most of all about the whole Jill Biden “controversy” is the pettiness and childishness of the Right.  Yes, the woman is a complete mediocrity.  Yes, her doctorate should be a joke – although I note that, unfortunately, those with “doctorates in education” often end up being administrators who earn much more money than do PhDs (who do have the title of “Dr.” whether the Right agrees or not) and even many MDs as well. But who cares? Doesn’t the Right have more important things to worry about? The Left has just successfully stolen the Presidency, the Senate may be next, they have been running wild with impunity in America, and they have been transforming America into a mockery of itself.  And yet the Right wastes time and energy attacking Jill Biden’s narcissistic use of a title. Really? That’s important?  Can we wonder why the Right always loses and the Left always wins?  Further, would any of these heroes mocking Jill Biden’s "Dr." title dare criticize the fraudulent PhD of the plagiarist Doctor Marin Luther King? The silence of the Tuckers - the silence is deafening.

Let us consider together. The problem here is not only one of pettiness and childishness, or even that of misplaced priorities. When the Right says things like "this person insists on being called doctor yet they can't write you a prescription" (and how many prescriptions did Saint Martin of King write, Tucker?), they reinforce the stereotype of the Right as being a bastion of anti-intellectualism. The Mainstream Right in particular has long practiced the fake-populist "reverse snobbery" game - e.g., "my plumber and auto mechanic have more sense than a bunch of Ivy League professors" - so that all of the plumbers and auto mechanics go out and vote for neoconservative Republican plutocrats who front for open-borders BIg Business and for Israel. 

Do we really want to play the anti-intellectualism game?  Do we want to parrot idiots who write that "only someone who has delivered a baby can be called doctor" (which would eliminate the bulk of actual MDs and privilege midwives instead)?  Do we want to strip people like MacDonald and Salter (or even Johnson for that matter) of their title of "doctor?"  Should we alienate academics and surrender scholarship to the Left?

Now, it is true that when people insist on being addressed with a title that reflects a lack of character. Instead, we should consider this Twin Peaks quote. I remember wincing when I overheard a PhD tell someone over the phone that "I should be called doctor not mister." But just because some people are jackasses doesn't mean we should disrespect genuine academic achievement (that admittedly Jill Biden does not have - I do not consider her degree or thesis to be a genuine academic achievement, unlike that of MacDonald, Salter, or, yes, even Johnson). 

The Retard Right marches on.

And as a side note, there is a misconception that MDs are more intelligent that PhDs. This is not, in my experience, true, at least not for STEM PhDs.  Some people are more interested in ideas than in people, some people are not interested in dealing with patients (imagine having to treat some 450 pound sheboon).  Yes, you could do research as a MD or a MD-PhD, but what is the point of going to medical school, and becoming a MD, if you are not going to treat patients?

And then we have the question of societal contribution. What's a greater contribution - Salter's On Genetic Interests or your neighborhood MD prescribing opioids and Adderall?  And if the Right is so skeptical about covid, why are they now fetishizing the status of MDs?

Yet another intellectual cartoon from the train wreck that is Counter-Currents.

Hail HBD!  Hail Sallis for always being right!

The HBD “race realist” ideal family.  Johnson’s “ten percenters” right there.  After all, we all need to alter our conception of an “ethnostate” in order to accommodate “Rosie and the kids,” right?

It looks like Hapas are unhappy with Derb (*), although they get his racial views wrong about who is “superior.”  After all, the “measured groveling” seemingly goes in only one direction, eh?

*So much for the “benefits” of mixing, eh?

Kevin MacDonald suggests that “We have to unify behind powerful, empirically based critique of Jewish [power? enmity?] or it will never go anywhere.” Yes, but first “we” need to know who “we” are and how”we” should or could combat the malign influence of Jewish hostility towards “us”. Some would say “we” are members of the White race; others, such as E. Michael Jones, emphasize “our” Christian spiritual identity.

I feel that I belong to an Anglo-Saxon diaspora people that both “at home” and abroad appears, “empirically” speaking, to be in a rapid state of decline (spiritual, moral, political, and demographic). To reverse that decline, I reckon, British-descended WASPs must recover their ancestral ethno-religious cohesion and spiritual confidence.

A critique of Jews must rise above the secular realm of “empirical reality”. To combat hostile Jewish elites effectively, we must recognize that Jews are formidable ethno-political rivals, not just because they are rich and well-connected. Hard-wired in their ancestral bioculture is a venerable ethno-theology. Jews have become their own Messiah.

WASPs need an ethno-theology of “our” own before “we” can hope to displace Jews from their well-entrenched place of honour and respect among TPTB. As an empirical, genetic category “White” identity is unlikely to generate an ethno-theology capable of matching Jewish ethno-religious solidarity. Anglo-Saxons can at least imagine a sacred history of their own with Alfred the Great becoming our very own David.

A glimpse into those mythic possibilities can be seen in the recent TV series The Last Kingdom, itself based in the novels of Bernard Cornwell.

So, Anglo-Saxons should cut themselves off from the White Race and from Europe and the West and go it alone. I suppose in the USA, they should do the same, and, if, say, someone is of mixed Anglo/non-Anglo ethnic descent they strategize in favor of their Anglo parts - "I support the rights and interests of my right arm but not of my left leg."

And, hey, MacDonald is of predominantly German Catholic descent, so what is Fraser doing on MacDonald's blog?  Can’t the Anglos make it on their own?

As an empirical, genetic category “White” identity is unlikely to generate an ethno-theology capable of matching Jewish ethno-religious solidarity…

Because he says so.  And, of course, let's base a political philosophy on a TV series.  

The Retard Right marches on, again.
