Odds and Ends, 3/24/21

In der news. In all cases, emphasis added.

To be fair to Counter-Currents, this is a good essay. What it should also include is that Matthews is being promoted by Amren.  Why is that I wonder?  Why promote the idea of non-Whites in a pseudo-White “ethnostate?”  Rosie and the kids, perhaps?

This is generally useful.  But, see this:

I’ve wondered how much of the notorious backbiting from our (?) side is the usual jealousy, gossip-mongering, and purity spiraling by armchair dictators, and how much is deliberate sabotage and disinformation by various opposition sources. Either way, don’t do the enemy’s work for them! It seems that anyone on our side who rises to prominence and starts doing something effective will get buckets of “friendly fire” criticism. Sadly, some of it comes from major figures on our side. It’s time to cut that out! One thing I have to say for Leftists is that they do a fairly decent job of settling disagreements outside of public view and standing together where it counts.

I’m sure that the post's author and Johnson look at intra-movement backbiting and view it as all those dastardly people who dare criticize Johnson. What about Johnson’s criticisms of Spencer, accusations against Friberg, and defamation of Sallis? It goes in both directions.  

I really cannot stand the “movement” characteristic of labelling people they don't like as “Jews” or “Feds.” Yes, some people are Jews and some people may well turn out to be Feds. But this knee-jerk stupidity of making accusations, or sly implications against opponents, with no evidence, is reflective of poor character.

The whole “he’s a Jew” stupidity reached the ultimate low when some idiot called Pierce a Jew – “Rabbi Pierce.” I think that Pierce (who was of English and Scots-Irish heritage) must be the least Jewish person I ever met. I don’t know who is or who is not a “Fed,” and since I do not know, I do not accuse. There are some people who I’m 95% sure are not “Feds,” but how can anyone be so sure to that someone is a “Fed” so as to make a public accusation? Have you ever noticed that the "insane" and "paranoid piece of crap" Sallis never makes these "Jew" and "Fed" accusations?

I believe that the overwhelming proportion of intra-"movement" criticism is sincere. Whether you think that the criticism is cogent or misguided is another issue.

High trusters gone wild!  Hyper-individualism! Or is it individualized collectivism? Or collectivist individualism?

A commenter earlier stated that Cofnas seemed like a “nutcase,” which is something I’m slowly coming to agree with. He seems emotionally uncontrolled.

It does appear that I linked to the wrong site. I intended to link to the 2020 results, and had discounted Rathner due to lack of clear biographical information. There are no other Jews among elected NRA board members.

https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2020/7/10/2020-nra-board-election-results

Of course I’m fine with there being a handful of Jews on the NRA board because such numbers aren’t enough to rescue his default hypothesis. The disparity is too great, and Cofnas knows this which is why he’s stopped linking to my article and is instead playing to a small group of fans with screenshots from the comment section.

It’s worth recapping Cofnas’s major errors, which he’s avoided mentioning to his own audience.

He’s claimed MacDonald has omitted data, when the data is clearly in MacDonald’s text.

He’s failed to test his own default hypothesis.

His default hypothesis fails every test it’s subjected to.

He relies exclusively on anecdotes, using a single 1994 conference to make the argument that Jews throughout “recent history” have been over-represented in non-anti-Semitic white nationalist movements.

He’s claimed American Jews are interbreeding themselves out of existence, when professional demographers insist the Jews in America are marrying among their own at “surprising” levels compared to other groups.

He says American Jews are approaching near disappearance when demographers show American Jews will experience only minimal decline in the context of global growth.

He says American Jews aren’t hypocrites on race when their major organisations haven’t bothered with the Ethiopian Jews in decades.

He claims Jews have no relationship with multiculturalism when Jews are clearly linked to the historical evolution of multicultural concepts of citizenship, and continue to be massively over-represented in Western refugee and migrant lobbies.

Cofnas is an excellent example of his ethnic group, and a quintessential pseudo-scholar.

Ah yes, but I attached an incorrect link. I guess that makes me dim-witted with a fake PhD. Whatever helps him sleep at night I suppose.

This is a disappointment:

Don’t think you are being fair to Lipton Matthews’s argument. I understand you are relying on a short article. He has other articles out there, a few in American Renaissance. Matthews needs to explain what he means by “cultural nationalism”, but my sense is that he means more than civic nationalism. I certainly do, and sometimes I also advocate cultural nationalism, both classical liberal values AND Western culture, languages, history, religion, symbols, writers, heritage, and ethnicity. Imagine our schools framing their curriculum in Western cultural terms, and our politicians expressing love and dedication to this heritage? It would go a long way in the protection of the civilization whites created.

Lipton is very well read about the West and has read my book. I noticed this in an interview/conversation we had last week, posted in TOQ.

Is the Negro being defended by Duchesne because he read Duchesne’s book? And what about this – “It would go a long way in the protection of the civilization whites created.”  That’s great, but what about protecting Whites themselves?  White EGI? I don’t care about a “white civilization” that is actualized by Jamaicans.

How’s that “Arctic Alliance” coming out, Derbyshire?

Anyone descended from old stock American settlers descends from the survivors of an Indian massacre. But most don’t know it. Simpy grasping that fact should be enough to dispense with most of the spurious guilt trips laid on whites about the poor red man.

“Simpy” – the Herrenvolk don’t need no stinkin’ spelling!  The laws of language adjust to the Herrenvolk, not the other way around!

“Anyone?”  So, consider someone whose ancestors settled in, say, colonial Boston, and that family has lived in that urbanized milieu from colonial times to the present. Do they descend from “the survivors of an Indian massacre?”
