Odds and Ends, 4/11/21

In der news. In all cases, emphasis added.

See this.

Carlson should strike back, but, of course, if he wants to maintain his mainstream viability, he has to pull his punches, and not engage in a full-throated Sallisian attack.

Perhaps something to the effect of: “What I said was the absolute truth and, if anything, an understatement of fact. The ADL doesn’t want you, my audience, to know these truths, and so they are, in totalitarian fashion, trying to silence me and all those whose views they disapprove of. This is America, and as Americans we have the right to express our ideas and discuss important and controversial issues, and we do not want or need the ADL telling us what we can and cannot say." He could then repeat and double down on his original comments, and perhaps demonstrate the hypocrisy of the Left by showing articles, tweets, statements, and speeches, in which the Left crows over demographic change and its impact on elections, etc.

That would cause more outrage, no doubt, but that’s the discreet, held-back, pulled punches version. If I wanted, I could put together a much nastier version, which readers of this blog know I am very well capable of. But the above statement is meant for mainstream consumption, hence, its milksop characteristics.

Derbyshire’s “Arctic Alliance” in action again, I suppose.

Of course Derbyshire – not Sallis – is the one who should be shunned (and ridiculed) by pro-White activists. But that’s not enough. EVERYONE who gives that piece of filth a forum should be treated similarly. EVERYONE.

In a very real sense, Derbyshire's supporters and enablers are worse than Derbyshire himself. One can understand why "the Derb" does the things he does. After all, when you're given lemons (which are yellow, by the way), you make lemonade. A White male (not "man") who is on the Right, but who has out-married, with mixed-race children, may well decide that the only way to salvage their situation is by promoting memes that would include their family as part of the "ingroup."  But the rest of us are not obligated to go along with that gaslighting mendacity, and those who enable that mendacity, without having the same background motivation (e.g.,inter-marriage), are, in my opinion, either pitifully naive, stupidly obtuse, or are race traitors.

An analysis of Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun.

An equivalent analysis for Tolkien: An orc, an orc, my kingdom for an orc!  Snug in my hobbit hole!  The battle for Middle Earth begins (the Philadelphia area Alt Right version – hobbits and orcs smacking each other with pink purses and handbags).

More evidence supporting my view of the High Trusters:

My story begins in a doctrinaire “anti-racist” household. My well-educated and professional parents raised me to believe that my past and my inheritance was one of sin and violence. All the positive aspects of my European heritage were universalized — Bach and the scientific method were “human” achievements — while the negative aspects of European dominance were not only regretted, but incessantly invoked…to speak frankly about the facts of interracial violence, not to mention the fact that half of the city had been rendered uninhabitable by the violence and dysfunction of its non-white residents, would have been seen as an unspeakable affront to decency. In sharp contrast, there was a sort of social cachet to disparaging anything white…a snide remark about the dumb, flag-waving hicks “out there” was a cheap way of demonstrating one’s cultural belonging.

Thus, Blacks and other non-Whites are treasured and loved, while fellow Whites are scorned and despised.  Exactly compatible with my theory.

An interesting comment from Occidental Dissent about Der Movement:

We need to enter a phase where we study organization the way we studied media in the past. We learned to do good culture jamming style propaganda and better media skills is what made the alt-right a plater vs. the 1.0 movement. Everything that made the alt-right effective was copied from the left. We need to keep learning. We got through about one chapter of the leftwing playbook, got overconfident, slammed the book shut and thought we had won.

Here’s the impasse we are at now — we are the worst organized movement in the world. The focus now needs to be on learning all kinds of organization and on getting our people networked. We need to study low tech, local, and guerrilla forms of organizing our people. Just like with propaganda, the left has already done the theoretical and practical work for us, we just have to be open minded enough to learn.

Another issue that needs to be addressed is moral and the related issue of leadership, or lack there of. We have low morale compared to other movements. I have never seen any other political space where so many people are always wallowing in despair and no one seems concerned with morale at all. Our morale is in the toilet and we have no leaders who ever try to raise morale. Our de facto leaders are not inspirational, they are all hyper-analytical nerds who never think about how their follows must be feeling. We need leaders who are higher on empathy and more charismatic.

I agree with this comment. We need to understand that Der Movement is a complete disaster, the "leadership" of that "movement" are in large part responsible for that failure, and we need intelligent, competent, dedicated, rational, and disinterested people studying the proper way of building and maintaining an organization, and getting that organization to actualize its specific goals. Note the word "disinterested." We don't need grifters whose major concern is "D'Nations."  When folks run their little corner of the failed "movement" focused on maximizing their donation income, what's their real agenda?

I don't begrudge genuine activists, full time activists, being support by donations from those who wish to promote that activism. But they need to earn that support, they need to actually accomplish something positive.  The "D'Nations" need to be a means to an end, not an end to itself. The activist should get donations as a means to support themselves so they can effectively work as full time activists, they should not engage in half-assed "activism" as a means to achieve the end of convincing others to give money so that the "activist" can live well without actually working.

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to decide which of those two alternative possibilities describes your fearless leaders.

I first encountered Joe Manchin back in the early 70’s.

Brad I seriously doubt, that Manchin is thinking as deeply as you are about political outcomes. LOL.

Being Italian Joe is very mercurial, and he’s liable to do a 180 at any moment.

YeahBoy!

Manchin is not Italian. An Italian is someone with four Italian grandparents, not two. Manchin is an Italo-Slav hybrid.

If Manchin was a woke progressive Democrat, then the fetishists would label him as an "two foot tall unassimilable minority wop needle worker politically hostile to founding stock interests."  But, as a conservative Democrat, that won't fly, so instead we get him labelled thus: "Being Italian Joe is very mercurial."  Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is praised by Der Movement (e.g., at Counter-Currents), because well...you know.  And if anyone says that the "movement" has an ethnic affirmative action program (which it obviously does), then they are "insane" and "a paranoid piece of crap."

The main point is that, once again, we observe that Der Movement has absolutely nothing to offer to White ethnics.

I hate bringing up this kind of thing, but are you aware that TOO has been plagued of late with what seems to me to be an ever increasing number of typos and minor errors? In every recent article, including this one, I have caught multiple small errors. How hard is it to have someone other than each post’s author simply read over posts prior to posting, and fix overlooked problems?

My concern is not any lack of understanding resulting from typos, but rather, that leaving small errors cheapens the value of the very real insights offered, especially in the eyes of educated but unawake whites with curious and open minds – precisely the type I would imagine TOO would like to reach and challenge. On a number of occasions recently that I have copied/emailed posts, I have had to go through them myself first, fixing the small problems. Unfixed, at least with my educated [conservative but not fully based] friends and acquaintances, they won’t have their maximum impact.

That is consistent with my criticism of other "movement" "leaders" and their constant spelling errors and other typos. Someone will no doubt point out the occasional typo at my blogs (errors I typically catch and correct within a day or so). The difference, of course, is that I'm running my blogs alone, one person doing both EGI Notes and Western Destiny, with very limited time. Unlike the Quota Queens, I'm not a full time activist living off of "D'Nations" (and, as stated, I don't have a stable of writers making contributions).  In my context, the rare typo is more excusable than the more frequent typos found among those who have no real excuse.
