I tried to call France. They’re occupied.

Hey!  Don’t mock the French…according to Amren they are now acceptable. They aren’t Sicilians, after all. They aren't Hungarians or Romanians either.

Law abiding cognitive elitism.

The Oriental Supermen!

A form of severe social withdrawal, called hikikomori, has been frequently described in Japan and is characterized by adolescents and young adults who become recluses in their parents’ homes, unable to work or go to school for months or years. The aim of this study was to review the evidence for hikikomori as a new psychiatric disorder. Electronic and manual literatures searches were used to gather information on social withdrawal and hikikomori, including studies examining case definitions, epidemiology, and diagnosis. A number of recent empiric studies have emerged from Japan. The majority of such cases of hikikomori are classifiable as a variety of existing DSM-IV-TR (or ICD-10) psychiatric disorders. However, a notable subset of cases with substantial psychopathology do not meet criteria for any existing psychiatric disorder. We suggest hikikomori may be considered a culture-bound syndrome and merits further international research into whether it meets accepted criteria as a new psychiatric disorder. Research diagnostic criteria for the condition are proposed.

Consider this. There are elements of Der Movement that positively stress the G component of LGBT – what about that?  Are we allowed to investigate, evaluate, and critique that?  On the one hand, LGBT is considered to be “Jewish,” but then others from the same website claim that opposition to homosexuality - and the concomitant “invention” of heterosexuality (sic) – is also “Jewish.” Which is it?

Additionally, as an interesting sidenote, Howard also finds in Jewish traditions the argument that “an erotic relationship. . . is what connects yeshiva students to one another and to their rabbi.”

Does a similar “erotic relationship” exist between male Alt Righters, at least those associated with certain factions of Der Movement?  Does Pilleater have any comments about this?

See this.  Do really need one cogelite to comment about the catastrophes of other cogelites? Even that cogelite admits that the Chinese are being “careless” and that the USA and Russia now do things better than the high-IQ Chinese supermen.

ALL EVIDENCE from actual reality clearly demonstrates that the Chinese are raving incompetents, who first gave us the covid nightmare and now bless us with space debris bombardment.

But, hey, the most important thing is whether that Chinatrix strap-on is a snug fit for a White male (not "man") HBDer rectum. Measured groveling!

And never forget what the “race realists” say:

I think Asians are objectively superior to Whites by just about any measure that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful society.

Well, Asians are certainly “objectively superior” with respect to causing pandemics and to having out-of-control rocket boosters plummeting to Earth, which is yet another inter-species attack of Chinese vs .humans.

Remember: Support the GOP!

Laugh at this.

We see how low someone valuable can fall when meritocracy is replaced by a quota-based affirmative action.

Oh yes indeed!  Sounds exactly like Der Movement!

These white men who need not apply are real people, unable to meet their needs, in an environment that has become openly hostile to them. And they call it “white privilege.”

Sounds like White ethnics in Der Movement.

Japanese savagery. Dissecting White POWs alive…without anesthesia. Note the cannibalism: Japanese eating Whites. Just like the Chinese, the Japanese have practiced voluntary cannibalism. That's a historical fact, despite the protests of Nordicists and HBDers. 

Let the HBD and Silker onanism commence!  Silker wet dream - being cannibalized by a black-booted Chinese girl holding an automatic rifle.

Remember: East Asians are simply a more intelligent form of Negro. Actually, worse than Negroes.

I suppose that Japanese vivisection of living White American POWs (and cannibalism of the White bodies) is part of that superior and successful society that Taylor talks about:

I think Asians are objectively superior to Whites by just about any measure that you can come up with in terms of what are the ingredients for a successful society.

Well, certainly, Asians are "objectively superior" at cannibalism, I'll agree on that.

Der Movement, Der Movement, Der Movement marches on.

Odds and Ends, 1/29/20

More than one "moral cretin" in the "movement," I would say.

The moral cretin.  Emphasis added:

Ever notice how it is only the scoffers like Derbyshire who use terms like “a secretive cabal of elites”? I call this the “Joo mind control rayz lulz” technique; in academic circles, it’s known as a straw man argument – an argument your opponent creates out of whole cloth and attributes to you as if you made it, but chosen for its stupidity because your opponent is better at refuting the arguments he invents for you than the arguments you actually make. It’s a tell-tale sign of weakness.

But that’s not what I really find salient in John’s piece. What I find remarkable is that John thinks little old ladies taken in by confidence men deserve bankruptcy. His response to the plight of victims of fraud goes beyond the decadence and cowardice of indifference, to the open malice of schadenfreude. There’s really no way to make that kind of statement, and object to the crime of fraud, and remain morally consistent.

“I do feel some mild regret on behalf of my kids, who I suppose will spend some of their adult years in a continent-sized version of 1970s Lebanon or 1990s Yugoslavia or 1960s/70s/80s/90s/00s Congo/Sudan/Somalia/Ethiopia/Zimbabwe, but at least I’ve taught the little Derbs (him and her) how to use firearms.”

If John’s kids were full bearers of his ancestral legacy (instead of only half-bearers), he’d feel twice as much regret on their behalf. So that’s one up side to miscegenation – half the regret contemplating your children’s doom. Miscegenation and national ruin sound like the best match since “hey, you got your peanut butter in my chocolate!”

But John’s already signed off on fraud. Fraud victims deserve their fate. Is this sort of thinking indicative of the logic they teach in British public schools?

If you think I’m being too hard on the old lemon-stuffer, consider his articles on Kevin MacDonald’s work. This “fraud victims deserve it” line isn’t a new one for the Derb. It’s a consistent one.

Watch this.  So, fat people are both “jolly” and “extraverted” but also nasty with low impulse control.  Got it.  HBD!

By the way, how do these theories apply on a trans-racial basis?  After all, “well be-titted” East Asian females or thin “African-American” females are as rare as honest HBDers.  So, how do these ideas apply to races in which certain phenotypes are extremely rare?  Aren’t there plenty of fat neurotic Jews as well? How does that fit in?  Do we really believe that the association between ectomorphy and neuroticism (if it actually exists and is not a HBD fantasy) is because "neurotic people are nervous and don't eat so much?"  I thought being an ectomorph was essentially an innate somatotype and not merely due to "not eating so much." How can anyone take any of this drivel seriously?

This misses the point.  Even if Mishima was a paragon of Japanese traditionalist virtue, a neo-samurai hero, he’s still from a culture, a High Culture, a civilization, alien to the West. Even if you value “traditionalism” – and I do not – you can find representatives of that  paradigm authentic to your own European background.  Mishima – even with all of his (many) faults - is an interesting historical figure from a White rightist perspective, but that’s it. He’s an interesting figure and should be nothing more – to us. To Japanese rightists, he may be of existential importance, but that’s their business. This obsessive fetishizaiton of Mishima among the White Right is, frankly, bizarre and disconcerting.

Sigh…read this.  Obviously, I side with Taylor in this debate, but it would help to have actual science backing up the "race is real” argument, rather than HBD flim-flam about “Blacks having higher testosterone levels.”  What’s next?  Penis size?  French army surgeon!  

Part of a Counter-Currents comment that passed through moderation:

I would like to say that I find locker room bigotry against gays to be stupid and disgusting. I know that the founder of this site is a homosexual. This does not belittle his achievements and his intellectual standing. His sexual identity is not the issue. We all have our troughs to wallow in. But when one begins to rationalize personal moral and mental aberrations as being equal with healthy behavior that’s when such an individual needs to be called out.

Mishima, Joyce, and Johnson

And another tidbit.

First, the other tidbit:

Comment:

abprosper

White does not Equal Posterity. The Irish and the Italians and the countless others of European extraction inflicted their own ruin on our posterity and founding state.

Quite right. Imagine if we didn’t have micks and wops like John Lindsay and Hubert Humphrey mucking things up, what a more racially healthy nation America could have been.

Now, to the main course.

Reproduced below, at the end of this post, is more of the animus-driven back-and-forth between Joyce and Johnson on the Mishima issue from TOO. I’d at this point just like to summarize my views on this in outline form:

1. I agree more with Joyce than Johnson on Mishima, not because I wholly agree with Joyce nor because of my personal distaste for Johnson, but simply because I view Mishima as a greatly over-rated figure on the Far Right, and Joyce’s piece is a long overdue and necessary corrective.  Mishima can be viewed as an “intersectional” figure who has recently enjoyed an “uptick” in interest from the Far Right (back in the WN 1.0 days, I can assure you that none of we Nutzis cared a fig about this Oriental) since he appeals to a number of “movement” factions – Traditionalists, the Gay Cabal, the HBDers and Silkers who grovel before The Altar of Asia, as well as Millennials who want to be both “based” but have a cover for their “racism” (but, but, but…I like this Japanese guy too…).  

2. Having said that, I’ll agree that Joyce’s piece can be viewed, objectively speaking, as a bit too harsh and one-sided. But that’s fine. I consider Joyce’s essay to be akin to Yockey’s Imperium in the sense that it is supposed to be a polemic and not a work of purely objective scholarship – so Johnson’s whining about Joyce’s alleged failings in that regard are, for me, irrelevant. Joyce is essentially making a political argument – that White Far Rightists should stop wasting their time with this bizarre, homosexual, inauthentic, organically unsound, over-rated, Japanese writer, and look to their own people for their heroes and role models. If that is its purpose, and I believe it is, then Joyce’s essay is effective.

3. Joyce can have focused more on the idea that Far Rightists admire Mishima not necessarily because of the objective things the man did, but because they view him as a symbol of rightist defiance against globalism, universalism, liberalism, democracy, consumerism, etc.  So, in that sense, one can argue that the points brought up by Joyce about Mishima the man are irrelevant with respect to that motivation for Mishima worship. The problem though with this interpretation is that there are White historical figures who could serve the same role as inspiring symbols – and in those cases the historical figures are not only more racially relevant, but more authentic and have the advantage of actually having achieved things of value to the White race. This goes back to point one – why Mishma himself specifically has been chosen as this symbol rather than others who are more deserving (Codreanu for one).

4. Joyce’s “gay-baiting” accusations against Johnson are probably unfair as well.  Although, as stated above, Mishima’s homosexuality likely plays at least a partial role in his appeal to some on the Far Right, I believe that Johnson’s interest in Mishima is more likely centered on Johnson’s interest in “traditionalism” and the idea that this “traditionalism” is embodied by the life, work, and symbolism of Mishima. If Joyce had critiqued Savitri Devi, Johnson may well have responded in like manner. All of this does not excuse Johnson’s snide (and as stated above ultimately irrelevant) remarks about Joyce’s commitment (or lack thereof) to quality scholarship.

5. Dr. Joyce – what the hell is your essay doing on the Unz site?  Say it ain’t so!   Are you an Unzian?  If not, tell them to take your essay off that damn site.  If so, why the hell why?

More of the cat fight:

I disagree.

First, there are many things to admire about Mishima as an individual, despite the fact that he was a very weird character: his literary genius, his immense productivity (34 novels, more than 50 plays, countless essays, all before his death at 45), his willingness to spend his prominence in society to buck the liberal democratic trend in favor of the Right, and, yes, his exemplary suicide — because if enough of our people overcame the Christian-bourgeois ethos and were willing to truly prefer death to dishonor, they would make short work of this system.

Second, it is simply wrong to say that Mishima does not offer “arguments.” I suggest you read Andrew Rankin’s Mishima, Aesthetic Terrorist, which is an admirably clear overview of Mishima’s cultural and political worldview. You may disagree with this views, in whole or in part, but it is simply inaccurate to dismiss them as lacking any sort of coherence or argument.

Third, I’ve already pointed out that despite claiming to have spent a year researching this matter, Joyce makes no reference to Rankin or a number of essays at Counter-Currents that actually present a pretty good explanation for why Mishima is a widely read figure in the New Right. I should also mention that there is an entire book on Mishima by the eminent Dominique Venner, Un samouraï d’Occident: Le Bréviaire des insoumis (Paris: Pierre-Guillaume de Roux, 2013) that might have thrown some light on this matter. But, again, there is no sign that Joyce has read it, although it was reviewed at TOO.

I am not going to speculate about Joyce’s motives for such lapses of scholarship.

Fourth, instead of actually reading and citing the relevant sources for understanding Mishima’s status in the New Right, Joyce simply offers what he calls the Mishima Myth. This myth purports to be a summation of New Right discourse on Mishima, but it is nothing of the kind. It is simply an attempt to make this discourse seem maximally vapid, which makes his demolition work much easier. In short, it is what scholars call a “straw man.”

Refuting straw men rather than real arguments is a blot on any scholar’s reputation.

I have read very little of Dr. Joyce’s work, so I don’t know if the lapses of scholarly probity that vitiate this essay are a pattern in his writing. I hope TOO’s and TOQ’s promotion of his work does not turn out to be a bad investment.

I read Rankin’s book a few weeks ago, and found it lacking. What does emerge in his discussion of Mishima’s politics, such as they can be ascertained, is the same confusion and incoherency indicated by the other scholars named above. Again, I think your opinion is clouded by being a homosexual, and you’ve invested time and effort in promoting an ethnically alien and profoundly unhealthy individual simply because he is a homosexual icon.

What all these people have in common is not that they were gay icons but that they were eminent intellectuals or artists who were also Rightists. That alone makes them worth commemorating in a culture dominated by the pretense that the Left is intellectual and the Right is not.

If Andrew Joyce were to publish unscholarly hatchet jobs on any of these figures, I would feel duty bound to defend them. So enough about my motives.

Readers are free to speculate about my motives all they want. But the same is true of Joyce’s motives.

Queer coping is when a known homosexual gets triggered when a homosexual idol is systematically critiqued and, unable to moderate the emotional response, but also unable to write a full length rebuttal, resorts to long-winded by ultimately meaningless comments designed to claim intellectual victory (and psychological relief) where none exists. When it comes to queers, they’re a lot like wasps or hornets. Just rattle the nest and watch them come out. They can’t help themselves.

Ryuji Tsukazaki’s remarks are devastating because Joyce’s essay leans so heavily on arguing that “Mishima was a profoundly unhealthy and inorganic individual,” and Tsukazaki argues that such remarks are rather beside the point, because such people are often quite insightful and can make true statements. Joyce admits that his argument is ad hominem. But the argumentum ad hominem is one of the informal logical fallacies.

Yes, argumentum ad hominem, just like calling Sallis “crazy and bitter” instead of responding to the comments left on your blog, never mind “banning” people who critique your ideas and your behavior.

Tsukazaki also points out that, contra Joyce, Mishima wrote plenty about politics. Indeed, about one-fourth of Mishima’s 43-volume collected works consists of non-fiction, including political statements, and even his writings on literature, art, and culture have political import. 

That doesn’t invalidate Joyce’s thesis.

Andrew Rankin’s recent book Mishima, Aesthetic Terrorist, is the first book in English to discuss much of this material with an eye to its political and philosophical content. No genuinely scholarly discussion of Mishima’s political import should omit mention of it. Rankin’s book was published in 2018, so Joyce had no excuse not to cover it.

True, Joyce’s essay could have been more complete.  He should write a follow-up, with a focus on answering Johnson.

This essay rather blots Joyce’s reputation as a scholar.

No, it doesn’t.

Zman commentator:

Epaminondas
None of this will prevent a future, more determined version of Trump to turn over the political table. He walks among us now. In fact, the new, more fanatic morality will make Trump 2.0 stand out even more sharply from the rest. If you think you’re seeing the elites panic now, just wait.

Sounds familiar.

Consider this Mexican-looking greasy Afrowop.  Just like Der Movement is full of insincere grifters, so is the gaggle of “anti-racists.”

Anti-Mishima

Joyce essay.

Given my own take on the Yukio Mishima fetishism on the Far Right, I was intrigued to read Andrew Joyce’s own excellent “take down” of the Mishima myth.

I very strongly urge you to read the whole thing.  A few excerpts (emphasis added) and my own comments to these:

According to Henry Scott Stokes, in my opinion Mishima’s best biographer as well as being the only Westerner invited to his funeral, almost as soon as Mishima was born his grandmother (Natsuko) “resolved to take personal responsibility for his upbringing and virtually kidnapped the little boy from his mother,” raising the child almost entirely in her sickroom. Natsuko brought up Mishima “as a little girl, not as a boy,” and he was forced to stay inside, was prohibited with playing with most of his environment, and was told to be almost completely silent due to his grandmother’s complaints of constant head pain. After some years, his mother was permitted to take him outside, but only when there was no wind.There is some suggestion that he was beaten, or otherwise severely psychologically abused, with the result that he suffered a sequence of psychosomatic illnesses involving the retention of urine. There is also some suggestion of sexual abuse or “obscene” treatment at the hands of his grandmother’s nurse. Quasi-incestuous closeness in indicated by his later description of his grandmother as a “true-love sweetheart”, and on his death his mother described him as her “lover.” Mishima was generally regarded by those around him as “an unusually delicate child.”

I have read about male-to-female transgenders who regretted their choices (in one case leading to reversal of sex-assignment surgery), and a common theme is their childhood feminization by female relatives or female friends of the family. Those people were White; Mishima was Japanese. Thus, the female urge to ruin and destroy masculinity – even at the maladaptive cost of ruining their own male relatives – seems to be a cross-racial characteristic. Hail MGTOW!

By contrast, as a homosexual, Mishima nurtured fantasies of himself as a member of an elitist minority.

We can think of a number of “movement” “leaders” and “activists” for whom that description fits as well.

One could add speculations that Mishima’s military fantasies were an extension of his sexual fixations, including a possible attempt to simply gain power over a large number of athletic young men. But this would be laboring an all-too-obvious point.

The Mannerbund awaits!

Fuse explains that suicide in Japan essentially originates from a servile position within a highly anxious and neurotic society.

After the Schettino incident, HBDers like Brand and Ray pinned the blame on “anxiety” and “neuroticism” among Italians. Of course, being HBDers (and Brand married to his own “Rosie”), the extreme anxiety and neuroticism among East Asians is ignored.

Durocher comments “You’re either the kind of boy who is challenged, energized, and inspired by this sort of film, or perhaps you’re not a boy,” which I can only regard as laden with irony given that the film’s subject was raised as a girl and once remarked, on being expected to act like a boy: “the reluctant masquerade had begun.”

Durocher attempts to normalize his own Asiaphilic HBD fetishism and pathologize those who refuse to kowtow before the Altar of Asia.

We come back to the central questions of how and why Yukio Mishima should be relevant to us. No answers can be found in the life, politics and actions of a figure not only non-European and profoundly un-fascistic, but who was also strangely un-Japanese. I contend that there is simply nothing genuine to learn from him, and few people who have written in support of Mishima can point to anything tangible beyond the amorphous outlines of the Mishima Myth and a film heavy on style and low on authenticity. There is no single piece of text, no treatise, and no piece of authenticity beyond a final, radically un-European and sadomasochistically-inspired act of self-destruction and death-embracing nihilism. Mishima’s monarchism was servile and parodic, his militarism homoerotic, disingenuous and ludicrous, and his death-as-political-statement was psychosexual and ultimately lacking in logic. Otomo is probably correct in viewing the coup attempt more as a sexually inspired method of “politicising art rather than expressing a belief in ultra-nationalism.”

The question thus arises as to whether associating ourselves with such a figure, surely a clownish homoerotic wignat in today’s vernacular, brings more positives or negatives, both within the Dissident Right and within broader considerations of “optics” or public image. In particular, we should question whether we want to place our politics in a nexus that involves, to borrow the terminology of the Japan scholar Susan Napier, “the interrelationship between homosexuality, politics, and the peculiar form of violence-prone psychosexual nihilism from which Mishima suffered.” I’d argue in the negative.

Very good. 

Two brief criticisms of Joyce’s piece.  First, as these guys always do, Joyce is careful not to offend a “movement” figure that he had no prior “beef” with; thus, he grovels a bit to Durocher:

I rate Durocher’s work very highly…Much as I was intrigued by Durocher’s piece… (which is suitably measured in the assessment of Mishima’s fiction)…In the following essay, I offer not necessarily a rebuttal or rebuke of Durocher…

As my forthcoming essay on Greg Johnson will make clear, “movement” “activists” who have a “standing” or the possibility of a “standing” in Der Movement – that is, people, who, like Joyce, are of “acceptable” Northwest European ancestry – need to be skilled at the political game if they are to advance their interests and maintain their status of “leadership.”  Despite that the HBD-Nordicist Durocher is an incompetent and obsessive hack, a gaslighting liar, and a writer for a Jew site, Joyce states differently.  Of course, Joyce may actually differ from me in his opinion of Durocher (after all, they both have Nordicist tendencies, even if Joyce seems less enthused by Jew-loving and Asian-loving HBD), but, no doubt, Joyce sees no advantage in taking Le Grand Frog to task for his many deficiencies.

The second criticism is that Joyce concentrates on Mishima’s homosexual sadomasochism, but ignores themes of heterosexual sadomasochism, such as Kyoko’s House.  As the latter is a key toward understand the White embrace of both HBD and of Silk Road White nationalism, any comprehensive analysis of Mishima’s work must understand it. It also sheds light on Mishima himself, given the details of his childhood as outlined by Joyce.

I think that if Iran were nuked, Jews would be lynched from the lampposts of New York City. Their power is ocean wide but very shallow. The smart ones know that. But it would not be the first time they overreached. But such a course as you describe would not be a carefully calculated one but a gamble or a blunder.

This is hysterical nonsense.  True, if Iran were “nuked” there would be significant social and political repercussions in America (probably only lasting until the next football game, though), but does any sane person really believe that “Jews would be lynched from the lampposts of New York City.”  Why, oh why, do all you nitwits out there support Johnson?

Groyperism is just the flavor of the month. Fuentes’ MO is to tear down the movement to build his own cult of personality. He can do that for a while, because a huge part of the movement consists of bored online nihilists who want to join the latest sociopath’s cult of personality. But fundamentally selfish people can’t build anything that lasts. It didn’t last for Spencer and it won’t last for Fuentes. After trashing people’s lives like a tornado ripping through a trailer park, Fuentes will crash and burn, and his followers will move on.

Johnson is less a tornado than a chronic disease, like a cancer.  He’s here for the long haul, and Der Movement is being terminally sickened by him.

Yukio Mishima and Der Movement

It’s no surprise.

Is it any surprise that Der Movement is fascinated by Japanese author and right-wing ultranationalist Yukio Mishima?

Mishima has something to offer to many different factions of Der Movement. He was Japanese, so the HBDers love him. The Silkers not only like Mishima because of his racial background, but because Mishima’s work Kyoko’s House reflects the very essence of Silk Road White nationalism:

Schrader also incorporates scenes from Mishima’s book Kyoko’s House into the second chapter, in which the young Osamu (Kenji Sawada) sells his body to the loan shark Kiyomi (Reisen Lee) to save his mother’s restaurant from debt. Osamu becomes Kiyomi’s love slave at first, until their relationship turns into sadomasochism. “Your skin is so beautiful,” she tells Osamu after slicing his flesh, “I just had to cut it.” Their romance becomes one of pain and pleasure, beauty and destruction, a sense of purpose and existence through annihilation, culminating with Kiyomi preparing to bring Osamu to a blissful death.

One can imagine the White omega male Silkers fantasizing that they are a White Osamu and that some black-booted Chinese girl with a gun (a border guard of the West!) plays the role of Kiyomi.  After all, race-tinged sexual masochism is what Silk Road White nationalism is all about.

Speaking of the sexual angle, Mishima was a homosexual (albeit one who had a wife and children while still being more or less openly gay) – note that Mishima’s self-destructive tendencies are consistent with his homosexuality (a la Forney’s analysis of homosexuality) - and as a bodybuilder no doubt titillates the gay faction of the Alt Right.  

Of course, the Traditionalists admire Mishima for his ideology (Mishima being more racially acceptable, no doubt, than Evola), and the ethnoracial fetishists can have some sort of connection to Mishima since he can pass for David Bromstad’s (more White-looking) brother – or perhaps pass as Bjork’s father.

There's something for everyone!  It’s all good!

Now, Mishima undoubtedly was an interesting person and one can have sympathy for his right-wing views and his Japanese ultra-nationalism,  But, I'm not Japanese, nor East Asian more generally, nor are all those Type I "traditionalists" foaming at the mouth over Mishima and his (over-rated) legacy. I don't know - maybe if Der Movement concentrated more on Codreanu and less on Mishima, it might learn something.  But, alas, the lure of debasing themselves before the Altar of Asia is too much - the Japanese man must have priority.  I'll note that it seems like Mishima fetishism in the "movement" rises and falls concomitantly with the interest in HBD; there's probably a cause-and-effect relationship there.

A Lack of Competition

A car analogy.

I’m old enough to remember the days when foreign cars were relatively rare on American roads; most people drove vehicles produced by the big Detroit auto companies.  The quality of those products were horrendous.  Looking back to my childhood, it seems like my father’s cars were having major breakdowns every few months, necessitating costly repairs.  Cars lasted only several years before requiring replacement with another shoddy, shambling half-wreck (and these shoddy replacements were mostly new cars, not used). Everyone else was in a similar situation; a major topic of conversation was what problem your car had today.  My own first car was a used American model, of like kind, which died within several years of low-level use, with complete transmission collapse (literally).

Things changed with the Japanese car invasion.  Not only were the Japanese products themselves of a much higher quality, but the competition forced the American companies to produce cars that didn’t have a planned obsolescence period of three-to-six months.

Now, the alert reader may question my commitment to economic protectionism after these comments (by the way, I seem to remember the protectionist Buchanan being criticized for driving foreign cars), but that is not the point of this post. However, before moving on to the main topic, I will say this – protectionism should not be about preventing all foreign products from having access to the domestic market. High quality foreign products, which exhibit characteristics not typical of native production, should be welcome, if for no other reason as to spur native economic efficiency through the pressure of competition. No, the reason to be protectionist is to protect the domestic market from “competition” of cheap products made by Colored coolie labor, products of no better quality than the native brands (and often of lower quality), but so cheap that they undercut the native producers and drive them out of business.  The only competition there is merely to lower labor costs, not to improve quality, and that undercutting of cost and of a Western standard of living (and hollowing out of the native productive economy) should be targeted by protectionist policies.

And now the main point. I make an analogy between the car situation and “movement” “leadership.”  Just like the old days when there was little to no competition and the American automakers produced absolute trash, Der Movement’s affirmative action policy, and its concomitant lack of accountability, leaves us with “leaders” of the most abysmal character and ability.

All that is required of a Der Movement “leader” is to be of an Anglo-Germanic “Nordish” type, to spout fossilized “movement” dogma, and to seamlessly integrate into the good old boys network. Actual accomplishment, judgment, responsibility, and accountability mean nothing. Quality competition is artificially forced out of the marketplace, leaving the “leaders” no incentive whatsoever for quality control and improvement. They can be wrong about almost everything, make one terrible error after another, be exposed as to have done one unpleasant act after another, be shown to be inept and with questionable  judgment – and there are no consequences. The absolute worst that can happen is that they will be eclipsed by someone else exactly the same as them, who will behave just as badly, making the same errors over and over again.  Fungible incompetence.  Different face, same disgrace.

Obviously, competition is required to spur “movement” “leaders” toward quality control. Someone may ask: Why can’t all the parameters for the Nutzi crowd be met and the competition only come from “movement”-approved ethnicities?  In theory, that is possible; however, in reality, the number of Whites, of any ethnicity, who are of high quality and interested in racial activism is very low.  Most high quality Whites, people of accomplishment and ability, have thrown in their lot with the System and are concerned with their personal interests and status. This is why the “movement’s” affirmative action policy is so pernicious - it artificially constrains an already very limited pool of potential leadership candidates. There is only a handful of such people to start with, and eliminating a significant fraction of these due to affirmative action leaves too few to be sustainable. In the absence of the required sustainable pool of able candidates, we instead get the incompetents, freaks, and grifters. Sure, by making the “movement” more acceptable, weeding out the defectives, you’d create a positive feedback loop moving forward, possibly attracting quality potential leaders of any White ancestral background, including and especially the upper caste ethnicities. But, unfortunately, it seems like you will first need some competent leadership in order to get the virtuous cycle going. So, if competent leadership is the first step, then the whole process is stuck at the present status quo. The logjam must be broken in order to achieve success.

So, if you want the competition required to promote merit, quality, and ability in real leadership for racial activism, you have to open up leadership possibilities for everyone ostensibly part of the ingroup.  Ostensibly is the word, because it seems that some types of folks are around only to provide “D’Nations” or to provide some intellectual heft missing in the “leadership." These lower-caste individuals are not taken seriously and would never actually be considered as potential leaders, never given that chance in any meaningful way.  

There’s no reason for anyone to get offended by this analysis; it is what it is. I am just reporting the reality. It is doubtful it will change any time soon; the rank-and-file are too invested in maintaining the status quo.  They like it, they support and enable the affirmative action program, so there’s no point trying to do anything about it. Just sit back, watch the Quota Queens ruin all they touch and run the “movement” into the ground, and just shake your head sadly and move on.

Enjoy the endless failure.  Imagine what cars in America would be like if the Japanese invasion never took place. Broken down jalopies spending more time in the repair shop than on the road. Back to the 70s!  The same for a “movement” where real competition for leadership positions is not allowed.

Misleading Immigration Study, Italian Cucks, Alt Right Grifters, Mason Paternity, and Other News

In der news.  Emphasis added.

While Unz should be happy about this, in reality it is misleading nonsense for several reasons:

1.  With respect to illegal aliens, as the name implies, their very presence in this country is a violation of law, so they have a “criminal rate” of 100%, which is higher than that of any grouping of natives (even Blacks, believe it or not).

2. Comparing immigrants to natives is misleading from a racial basis. How about comparing immigrants to White Americans?  How about comparing immigrants to Black “Americans?” Hispanic “Americans?” And, I suppose Asians and Jews as well.  Let’s have the full data.

3. If you want to know the full impact of immigration on crime, you cannot stop the analysis with the immigrants themselves, but we must consider their descendants.  What does the next generation look like?

4. Most important of all, the immigration problem is not really about crime, or “the economy,” or any other such thing, but the genetic and cultural displacement and replacement of native populations.  Let’s assume that immigrants really have lower crime rates.  Very well.  I suppose then we can lower crime in America by replacing the entire native population with immigrants. That would lower the crime rate real well.  And the natives benefit how, by that?

5. By the way, although immigration will eventually replace the native population, given carrying capacity and differential birthrates, etc. – the immediate situation, at the national level, is not so much replacement as mere addition.  So, even if the crime rate among (legal) immigrants is a bit lower, we are adding that population, and all of its criminal element, to that of natives, are we not?  And what about at the city level?  If you argue that increased immigration into a city is lowering the crime rate, you logically imply that the immigrants are replacing natives (who are being pushed out) – supporting the “replacement narrative.”  You can’t have it both ways.  If immigrants are actually lowering crime in an area, rather than just adding criminals at a slightly lower rate, then population replacement is occurring.  Or do you claim that immigrants increase total crime, but that the rate is less per capita?  Which is it?

I’ve also been asked by other content creators to join the merchant right, because it helps reinforce the notion that a culture war is not won on love. It takes money to run these sites and many of the people doing it have no other way to make a living. 

Let’s translate that:

I’ve also been asked by Alt Right grifters who live off of “D’Nations” to join them in their parasitical lifestyle, because when folks like me offer free content, it makes the tin cup panhandlers look bad.  If everyone is out for the shekels, then no one stands out as a money-grubbing useless exploiter of the rank-and-file.  It takes money to run these sites – except for the people who somehow do it for nothing - and many of the people doing it have no other way to make a living, which is precisely why they are doing it in the first place.

A HBD commentator writes:

Puzzled by this blind acceptance of natural selection. While it seems logical that the fittest will survive to reproduce, just take a look at our species. Do the fittest have the most children?

Excuse me, idiot, but since “fitness” in biological terms means genetic representation in the next generation, and not any of the proximate traits that HBDers and Nutzis hyperventilate over, then, yes, by definition, the “fittest” will have the most children (who survive and themselves reproduce).  Having the most children is what makes them “fit.” If you want to make criticisms about circular reasoning, fine, that can be debated among philosophers of scientific discourse, but please stop with the ignorant drivel on how “natural selection is wrong because stupid and useless people have more children.” That’s not how it works.

While the anti-Jewish laws of 1938 had been "a mistake, a shame"...

Based Caio!

More recently Matteo Salvini, leader of the League and Italy's interior minister, has said that "a lot of things got done" under Italy's Fascist government, hailing Mussolini's infrastructure projects and pension system while dismissing his race laws as "madness".

Based Salvini!  Cuckadoodledoo!  Note picture at bottom.  Dem dere Viking Northern Italians.  The ultimate Nordic phenotype exemplified in that photo.

Cucked by a Jew?

Mrs Mason’s had insisted that each son should have a Jewish middle name and her former husband, who now lives with his new wife in Rhos, North Wales, believes this detail could provide a clue to the biological father’s identity.

Now, for the infertile Mason, the damage was emotional and financial.  But imagine a fertile man who is tricked into raising another man’s children, while actually having none of his own. That is murder of his genetic continuity; in my opinion, any woman guilty of deceiving about paternity should be subject to the death penalty. The biological father cuckolder should also be subject to that ultimate sanction if he was a willing participant in the deception (however, it is always possible that the woman tricked him into believing she was unmarried and he may not know he fathered a child).

Nice woman, eh?  Joan of Arc, eh Greg?

The yeastbuckets are all the same. All “fathers” should genetically test their paternity one way or another. And while 23andMe tests stink for ancestry, they do chromosome matching, so they can be used to confirm paternity if you want to do it in a more indirect, discreet fashion. Indeed, for any SJW polities that outlaw paternity testing, men should see if 23andMe is still available.  If the child is yours, you’ll match 50% of chromosomes – if that match does not occur, get a good lawyer, my friends.

Nazi ideology trumped military practicality.  Note Japanese betrayal with respect to the USSR (remember my debate with “Kumiko” about that – Sallis right, once again).

Ethnocentrism, Chinese Nationalist Maiden, Sex Strike

In der news.

Read this.

Prof. Dutton tries to explain the relatively low ethnocentrism of whites. One theory is that we have an evolutionary strategy based on producing geniuses. Exceptional people make breakthroughs that advance the interests of the group, but the type of environment that produces and supports such people is one of low conformity. This would decrease ethnocentrism. 

As he does in his earlier book, At Our Wits’ End, Prof. Dutton also argues that social changes connected with the Industrial Revolution have meant far less natural selection in industrialized populations since then. For most of history, children with maladaptive traits usually died, but now they often survive. This means harmful mutations stay in the gene pool. 

Prof. Dutton argues that ethnocentrism benefits groups in the struggle for survival, so natural selection has generally promoted it, whereas maladaptive attitudes such as very low ethnocentrism are the product of mutations. Mental and physical abnormalities due to genetic mutations are often found together, so that as the population is increasingly burdened with mutations affecting physical health, it may also be afflicted with reduced ethnocentrism, which reduces a population’s chances for long-term survival.

Is there an inverse relationship between degrees of ethnocentrism and the levels of such deleterious mutations?  This could be assayed. I avoid making comments about intra-European possibilities here, but the failures of Der Movement’s affirmative action “leadership” raises possibilities.

By the way, will Amren review Dutton's book on Rushton?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Chinese Nationalist Maiden • 20 hours ago

I have witnessed for a long time that Whites are less ethnocentric than other races…

Is that why Whites let the likes of you live in their nations and infest their “pro-White” websites?

…and that is why I consistently try to increase White ethnocentrism.

By living in their nations.

I am not scared of White ethnocentrism. 

Really?  Even when your yellow rear end is kicked back to Hepatitis Land?

I agree with Kevin Macdonald's view that Whites are unusually altruistic, which explains their weirdly low ethnocentrism. 

Exemplified by your presence at Amren.

However, I really hope Whites wake up soon because it is not good for the future of humanity if this planet becomes flooded with low-IQ peoples as low-fertility, high-IQ races, namely Whites and East Asians, decline. 

IQ, IQ, Asians have high, high IQ!  Asians are really declining, eh?  There are hundreds of millions more Chinese alone (a single Asian ethnic group) than there are all Whites combined, worldwide. Asians are in such “decline” that their excess population floods into White nations.

Currently, the East Asian demographic decline is inevitable due to low fertility. 

And if China loses half-a-billion people they’ll be down to where the entire White race is right now.

Together with Whites, we will be a dwindling minority in centuries to come…

Lie.

…and therefore we need a strategy for high-IQ peoples.

Whites enslaved to Asian interests.

However, idiots like Xi Jinping make sound racial thinking nigh to impossible in China…

Which is why the Chinese are fiercely nationalistic and are practicing eugenics.

…whilst the West is not being helped either by the liberals and (((rulers))) who wish for White genocide.

If the subtle sexual bait is not enough, there’s a (((little pretense))) of anti-Jewishness to whet Nutzi appetites.  Just like that Japatrix from Majority Rights.  It’s as if they are reading off the same script…which is probably the case.

Retarded wopess just confirmed to the world that all women are basically whores who use sex to control men.

Now let us all sit back and watch this latest Man on White Horse Syndrome debacle unfold…for the umpteenth time.

Once again, EGI Notes will be a bastion of sanity among a sea of “movement” madness. Just as this site rode the waves of the Trump hysteria, and coasted with a bemused eye through the Alt Right fever, so shall we all get though the Yang Gang Bang.

Understanding the human history of Amren 2006.

On the one hand, this is generally interesting and informative (but reflecting the author’s own biases).  But – he talks about himself?  And in a serious, non-ironic manner?*  Anyway, I’ve written about this Liddell before - just another typical “movement” ethnic fetishist.  And – who knows? – maybe “living in Japan” should be reserved for individuals of Japanese ethnicity? That would affirmatively be the “Right” thing to do, eh?

Indeed, perhaps Liddell should leave the great and good Japanese people alone to develop according to their own inner imperative.  For example, look here for an example of how the people of Nagasaki recovered from the atomic bombing to develop a scientific, architectural, and cultural artifact that the West can only dream of matching. Western Man stands in humble awe at that Oriental magnificence.

Have you ever noticed that so many of these ethnonationalist, ethnic fetishist, Alt Right, Alt Lite, and national conservative types like living in other people’s countries?  One fellow lives in Japan.  Another in Georgia.  Two in in Hungary.  One in Romania and another in Italy. None of these are of the ethnic origins indigenous to the nations in which they live, but they are all ethnonationalists, you see. The ones who live in Romania and Italy critique the nations in which they live and then take native women as their wives.  Incredible.  This is not ethnonationalism. It is ethnoimperialism.  All these racial aristocrats will live where they damn please, you see, and do whatever they want, after all, what are the dumb wogs going to do about it? 

Hey!  According to the great and good Desmond Jones, the White race is a “twentieth century Jewish construct.”

During the debates, congressmen sometimes used the word “European” rather than “white,” but it is clear that there was unanimity on this point: the United States was to be exclusively for white people.

So, late 18th century America: European = White.  The fetishists shown to be fundamentally dishonest, once again.

The metamorphosis into a neocon shill is approaching completion.

All of this material to work with, all of this White dissatisfaction, angst, and fear for the future, and all the Quota Queens can give us is “let’s support Chinaman Yang’s efforts to defuse White anger.”  They’re pathetic.

Roissy and Mangan weep bitter low-carb tears.

So much winning!  Black Nationalism of course will still be allowed, as per the original article.  Note that the decision was made in consultation with anti-White “experts” with White nationalists not being allowed to explain their position.

Anyone who argues that White Nationalism and White Separatism are the same as “White Supremacy” is so fundamentally dishonest they should be considered as peddling the equivalence of sociopolitical malpractice.  And by censoring political expression - and only from the pro-White side - they are virtually guaranteeing that more violence will occur. That’s the ultimate objective I suppose, so it can be used to justify more repression.

Andrew Yang is a Chinaman who wants to buy off Whites with $1000 a month.  He’s using UBI to distract Whites from dispossession.  He’s the enemy.  And yet “pro-White leaders” and “activists” and ranting about “the Yang Gang” with the same onanistic fervor they brought to their “God Emperor.”  Well, at least the Princess Tulsi Coconut fad didn’t last that long.
