The Snapshot Syndrome

A behavioral defect.

A behavioral problem many people have is what I call The Snapshot Syndrome – a tendency to focus on, and make judgments and decisions on, fixed “snapshots” of a given situation, instead of considering trends, projections of the future, reasons for which the situation exists, not to mention other more important issues than that current situation.

For example, there is a subset of voters (*) who ignore deep ideological issues and broad long term sociopolitical trends and objectives, and instead base their support of a candidate based on the current, immediate, “snapshot” of some metric of personal (and/or national) (perceived) well-being, in some cases, metrics over which the given candidate(s) have limited to no control over. If the economy is booming on Election Day, the incumbent is favored; if the stock market just crashed and a recession has begun, the challenger is this empowered. Of course, not only is it possible that these events took place for reasons independent of government policy, but regardless, it is possible that they may become reversed after the election, even if government policy remains unchanged. Further, there are other more important issues; what benefit a “booming economy” if the current administration is promoting race replacement immigration? Or if outsourcing, high skilled immigration, and massive income inequality mean that others benefit from all of the “booming?’’ And even if this is not the case, there may be other issues and concerns, putting aside the issue of the very likely temporary nature of the “snapshot,” as I have already indicated. Another possibility is that a candidate can “trick” voters by pretending to support views that they have heretofore rejected, in order to influence the voters’ perception of the current “snapshot” of candidate stands on issues, without considering the broad context. Arizona Republican voters who were fooled by McCain’s squint-eyed steely assertion that “we’ll build that wall” had their “snapshot” of an immigration restrictionist McCain vanish from view once the election was over, and the reality of Open Borders Invade the World Invite the World McCain once again (and predictably) became painfully obvious. That stupidity could have been avoided by considering the whole context and using the past to predict the future, instead of depending on a fixed, situation-at-the-current time view of the political situation. Voting by “snapshot” is a highly irresponsible and superficial approach to the democratic political process.

Another example are fools who say “the native population of country A does not face any threats of demographic replacement since as of today the alien population percentage of A is only X” completely disregarding that X has been increasing, all projected trends suggest that X will continue to increase and increase markedly, and A has been increasingly the focus of legal and illegal immigration.  Any sensible view would be that A is indeed threatened, and one cannot assume that the “snapshot” on any given day will be fixed for all time. Indeed, looking at any nation suffering from race replacement, at one time in the past, that was not happening, and a “snapshot” at that past time would have resulted in a completely false picture of future possibilities. And, indeed, those morons who said that country A was demographically safe until the end of time saw their imbecilic assertions quickly disproven.

Yet another example of The Snapshot Syndrome is to consider the status of an ethny at one given time and project that endlessly in the future (and sometimes the past as well). Thus, if an ethny has been having a great “run” for the past several centuries, then that is asserted to be evidence of their permanent and innate superiority, ignoring that the ethny is now in decline, was at a lower status in the past, and that other groups were in higher status in the past. Indeed, one consequence of projecting the current “snapshot” backwards in time is the rewriting of history, so that the accomplishments of other groups are falsely ascribed to that group that has been more recently been “on top.”  I’m sure we can think of a certain example of this historically popular among Der Movement. Of course, in some cases, like the Negro, the current “snapshot” is actually an accurate predictor of the future and is accurately manifested in the past – when a “snapshot” is consistently supported over historical time and is explained by plausible mechanisms, then it may well be accurate. Not all “snapshots” are misleading. But many of them are, and the tendency to judge by “snapshot” alone is a behavioral defect we should all strive to overcome.

Footnote

*Another issue in the mainstream political sphere, albeit unrelated to the main topic of this post (but is related to the broader issue of behavioral defects), is people having campaign posters on their property and stickers on their cars. There’s a bit of need of a childish need of political self-expression and also the power of conformity – the idea being people are more likely to vote for a candidate of they see many other supporting the same candidate (and vice versa). Regardless, it is stupid.

Call to Action, 9/30/22

And Odds and Ends that are in der news.

Call to Action:

My reaction to this is - Fuck You, "Gregory Hood." I for one am sick of Amren and its "litany of woe" posts without that site ever giving its readers a viable plan of action to do anything about any of it. No, instead we get this here from them. That's it. Let's all get together and discuss the Amren idea that by every standard, Asians are superior to Whites. That'll save us no doubt, right? Or how about this ridiculous nonsense from Counter-Currents (see more about that below) - is that the solution?

Der Movement itself is the biggest threat to Whites, not all of the retarded Coloreds that Hood quotes. It is Der Movement that is standing in the way of the development of an effective White resistance. It is Der Movement that clogs up the political and metapolitical niche space on the Far Right, preventing the growth of healthy alternatives, much like weeds choke off healthy productive plant growth in a garden. If therefore stands to reason that Der Movement must be opposed and defeated if we ever have a chance of developing the healthy alternatives that can stand up to the System.

This post is therefore yet another Call to Action by the Sallis Groupuscule for sane activists, those who are disenchanted by Der Movement and its motley crew of freaks, defectives, incompetents, fetishists, and grifters, to make a stand against Der Movement.  Over and over again I say this, post after post, year after year, and there is no real response. I have to assume that either everyone is satisfied with Der Movement and I'm yelling to the wind or else some people are disenchanted by simply don't care enough to do anything about it.

And there's plenty you can do, apart from the obvious tactic of withholding support from Der Movement.  You can join with the Sallis Groupuscule, including following this blog and my Gab account and, more importantly, contributing material to the Sallis Groupuscle blog, targeting Der Movement and proposing alternatives.  I can be reached at my Gab account.  Or you can start your own blogs, your own sites, your own entities. You can organize IRL locally. You can, even at the lowest level of resistance, go to  "movement" blogs, websites, livestreams, social media accounts, etc. and challenge their self-interested and moronic paradigms. Or do something else - maybe you have other ideas, but if you are disgruntled, there is more to do than merely read this post, agree with it, and then forget about it all as if none of this is a serious problem.

Odds and Ends:

There are many Whites, including those fairly far on the right, who are afraid of radical change, as they do not want their comfortable lives disrupted.  However, radical change is going to occur whether they like it or not, and indeed, such change has been occurring, always in the direction of the anti-White Left. So, the question simply is – our change or their change? If we do nothing, they win by default. Unlike what some deluded conservatives have believed, we cannot successfully stop history.  We can only attempt to channel it in the proper direction. Change is coming.

And here in this Counter-Currents post we have the ideological, metaphysical underpinning of Der Movement and its Bring Out Your Dead ethnostate.  We observe a promotion of, and celebration of, irrationality and ignorance, the elevation of superstition above science, and, as is always the case with these mendacious retarded traditionalists, a complete misunderstanding of science. Science is a method, not a set of "laws" or a compilation of facts; indeed, if it is discovered, via empirical analysis, that "Friday the 13th" indeed results in a greater frequency of misfortune (so defined), and if a testable and falsifiable hypothesis can be proposed, then science - or better, the scientific method - will support the (tentative) validity of the finding. And, by the way, predictions of future events based on the past are based on (again, tentative) understanding of underlying mechanisms, based on hypotheses that have so far survived falsification. In this sense, we can make predictions of what would happen if, say, a traditionalist Counter-Currents writer jumps off the roof of a tall building in the belief that Odin will save him. In that fervently-hoped-for scenario, predictions can be made based on various natural "laws" derived from the scientific method, and the outcome of that scenario would, I am sure, match the predictions from those "laws" more than it would match traditionalist retardation. 

I won't even bother pointing out, to a degree more than this sentence, the ludicrous hypocrisy of these types using the technics of modern society, which are all based on the work of science, to live their daily lives, including the use of harnessed electricity, computers, and the Internet to spread their drivel - as opposed to, say, using runes, Norse spells, and black cats to spread the message.  

As I have been saying, a victory by Der Movement would literally bring Whites down to the level of the Dark Ages, leading to the destruction of Whites by both avoidable natural disasters as well as attack by technological savvy opponents. Of course, the real danger is that Der Movement destroys Whites by delegitimizing sane activism and by filling the Far Right niche space with unspeakable stupidity, therefore alienating normal, productive people and preventing the emergence of alternatives that would actually have a reasonable chance at saving Whites.

While I am critical of Nutzis who are enthusiastically hyper-pessimistic about Meloni in Italy, that does not mean that I am optimistic about that. Four issues:

1. Wops always disappoint.

2. Der Right always disappoints.

3. I am not fond of female leaders in any endeavor, certainly not as a national leader.

4. The characteristics that allow someone to achieve power are not the same that allow them to be an effective leader; it is very rare for an individual to exhibit both sets of characteristics. Given the oft-cited "volatility" of Italian politics, Meloni needs to demonstrate fairly quickly that she is such an individual.

Anti-Booth

Opposing politicized science. 

Look at this shocking display of a lack of scientific objectivity and integrity.

[Thanks to Gaston from Gab pointing that out]

What a mendacious piece of filth this Booth is.

That confirms everything I always write concerning the highly political nature of population genetics. Booth's agenda is NOT science; it is politics. It is an admission that politically-motivated “scientists” are going to intentionally, and with malice aforethought, LIE to the public about the meaning of genetic studies, in this case about ancient DNA samples, including LYING about the identities of the ancient peoples and their objectively determined relationships with modern populations.

This is why population genetics studies need to be examined with an extremely skeptical eye - because these studies are being performed and presented to advance political agendas. The authors sometimes OPENLY admit it, as in this case. And it is not only the interpretative section of a paper (e.g. the Discussion) that requires close examination. In addition, methodology can be chosen and modified to yield desired results – for example, the choice of reference populations for supervised admixture analysis or the choice of population comparisons in PCA and for other types of analysis. Population genetics studies are very sensitive to “input” with respect to what the “output” is and it is therefore very easy for population geneticists to skew the data in a particular direction based upon how the data were generated.  And omission is as important as commission – when have you seen researchers ever do direct kinship analyses of human populations? When have you seen genetic integration approaches applied to human genetics data? Approaches that would produce politically incorrect data are avoided, while the methods that are utilized can be, and are, designed so as to obfuscate truth. Couple all of that with left-wing political bias in interpretation and - presto! – “woke” “science” is generated.

Real scientists should objectively and dispassionately present and discuss their data, and the sociopolitical interpretations and ramifications of that data are for others to determine. Science is not about putting political “spin” on data and is not about manipulating the work and lying about it in order to achieve particular politically-relevant objectives.  Booth and all of the rest of his ilk should be rejected by the scientific community.

Population genetics papers – and certainly anything by Booth and colleagues – must be carefully scrutinized for signs of bias and for politically-motivated content. Of course, scientists have the right to privately engage in political activism (and I wish more would be on the Right instead of an almost unanimous slant to the Left). However, they need to be careful not to let political bias intrude into their research and contaminate the science. 

It is inevitable that some degree of unintentional bias will slip into research, particularly with respect to topics (like population genetics) that have sociopolitical implications. That is human nature, after all.  That is why readers always need to be alert to potential bias and need to read papers and scientific pronouncements with a skeptical eye. But what we see with the likes of Booth is much worse - it is the openly admitted intentional injection of politics and political bias into the work, which is then presented to the public as "science." That alone is unacceptable and dangerous, but it gets even worse - much worse - when the openly admitted goal is to obfuscate truth and mislead the public about the science for political objectives.

After all, it is objectively true that, in the majority of cases, ancient peoples from given territories are genetically more similar to extant indigenous populations in those same territories than they are to later, intrusive elements, such as more recent migrants. Indeed, there is often an ancestral relationship, to at least some degree, between the ancient peoples and the modern indigenous populations. This is uncontroversial and accepted, with no problem whatsoever, for Africa and Asia, and it is certainly also well-accepted for the Americas, where, often, today's Native Americans exercise legal control over access to ancient American remains, on the premise (accepted by all) that the ancient peoples were the ancestors of extant Native Americans. The only exception to the rule of accepting ancient-modern population links is, of course, Europe. The native, indigenous peoples of Europe are denied their basic human rights and their fundamental sense of identity, and have their deep connections to ancient Europeans obfuscated, for purely political reasons, with one stated rationale being "to protect marginalized populations."  It would seem to me that, given this unequal treatment, and this denial of basic human rights, it are the Europeans who are truly the marginalized populations. Indeed, denying the group identity of a people and denying their ancestral origins and their "blood and soil" ties, which are clearly demonstrated by both genetic and history analyses, is the first step toward genocide of that people.

In summary, the political activity of Booth and his ilk, being injected into the scientific discourse as it is, must be unalterably opposed.  When the likes of Booth spread their poison, please use this post (and whatever others like it that you may find) as an antidote to Boothite anti-White venom.

Unwrapping Der Movement’s Mummified Brain

More lies about Ancient Egypt. In all cases, emphasis added.

Counter-Currents lies about Ancient Egypt. 

Interestingly, the ancient Egyptians were genetically closer to Europeans than they were to modern Egyptians, who have a substantial degree of sub-Saharan admixture. Their genetic composition remained remarkably stable over the course of their history, and the flow of sub-Saharan DNA into Egypt did not occur until after the Roman period.

I have previously written about this paper and “movement” lies about it.  Also see here. 

The PCA of the Egypt paper (see Fig 4 and supplementary Figure 3) show Ancient Egyptians in the same general area as modern Near Easterners and close to Modern Egyptians, certainly closer to Modern Egyptians than to any Europeans. While that has all the usual caveats of PCA, these PCA data do not support the idea that Ancient Egyptians were genetically closer to Europeans than to Modern Egyptians and any semi-literate reading of the paper would have told you that. Even though it is true that two populations can be close in PCA without having the same ancestry, in the case of Ancient and Modern Egyptians we are considering two populations from the same locale, with a known historical link.  

The f3 data from Figure 5 are more equivocal and could be used to support the Counter-Currents narrative. in this sense, the Counter-Currents argument here is not completely flawed  The problem is that outgroup f3 suffers from some of the same flaws as Fst, and is sensitive to the choice of populations used. All of these problems could have been avoided if the authors had simply utilized genetic kinship assays. The f3 statistic is in my opinion an absolutely lousy approach for measuring genetic similarity.  The fact that the PCA and f3 data match poorly indicates a problem here.

In summary, the PCA data refute the Counter-Currents narrative, while the F3 data seem to support it.  But what about Negro admixture?  First, let's consider the mitochondrial data (such data are essentially useless for individuals but have some utility for larger sample sizes):

We observe highly similar haplogroup profiles between the three ancient groups (Fig. 3a), supported by low FST values (<0.05) and P values >0.1 for the continuity test. Modern Egyptians share this profile but in addition show a marked increase of African mtDNA lineages L0–L4 up to 20% (consistent with nuclear estimates of 80% non-African ancestry reported in Pagani et al.17). Genetic continuity between ancient and modern Egyptians cannot be ruled out by our formal test despite this sub-Saharan African influx, while continuity with modern Ethiopians17, who carry >60% African L lineages, is not supported (Supplementary Data 5). To further test genetic affinities and shared ancestry with modern-day African and West Eurasian populations we performed a principal component analysis (PCA) based on haplogroup frequencies and Multidimensional Scaling of pairwise genetic distances. We find that all three ancient Egyptian groups cluster together (Fig. 3b), supporting genetic continuity across our 1,300-year transect. Both analyses reveal higher affinities with modern populations from the Near East and the Levant compared to modern Egyptians (Fig. 3b,c).

As regards levels of Negro admixture: There is ADDITIONAL Negro ancestry in the moderns, not starting from a ancient baseline of zero. While it is true that the bulk of Negro ancestry came in the past 2000 years, the ancients did have a little. Ancient Egyptians were essentially Near Easterners with trace Negro ancestry; modern Egyptians have a larger Negro influx. From the paper:

….modern Egyptians inherit 8% more ancestry from African ancestors than the three ancient Egyptians do, which is also consistent with the ADMIXTURE results discussed above. Absolute estimates of African ancestry using these two methods in the three ancient individuals range from 6 to 15%, and in the modern samples from 14 to 21% depending on method and choice of reference populations

However, we note that all our genetic data were obtained from a single site in Middle Egypt and may not be representative for all of ancient Egypt. It is possible that populations in the south of Egypt were more closely related to those of Nubia and had a higher sub-Saharan genetic component, in which case the argument for an influx of sub-Saharan ancestries after the Roman Period might only be partially valid and have to be nuanced.

Der Movement = wrong.

Odds and Ends, 8/7/22

In der news.

Counter-Currents madness:

Let’s cut straight to the chase: germs don’t cause disease; disease causes germs.

Der Movement MUST be unalterably opposed. If Der Movement wins, the Dark Ages will look like a futurist paradise by comparison.

A possibility to consider: Der Movement is a greater threat to White interests than is the System. I'm really coming around to that view. We should all ponder this.

Gaston:

Der movement" is simply put a mass of dysfunctional individuals that are so for reasons transcending their political views, since I can see how any fringe movement/subculture will attract dysfunctional types that didn't fit in normal society anyway so they see in the fringe movement/subculture an opportunity to find a place where "they belong"; it was so in early far left circles (and it is today as well in radical antifa), but with the societal norms shifting left at a neck-snapping speed it is now the far right experiencing this phenomenon.

Der movement's leaders are just smarter (compared to the average type I activist, at least) guys that figured out a way to exploit financially a mass of low IQ individuals.

Sallis:

Exactly. Note that this clearly demonstrates that the "movement" leaders are frauds. Any real, sensible leader would of course have nothing at all to do with ultra-freaks, the type who say viruses don't exist, reject the germ theory of disease and who say that nuclear weapons are a hoax. Such an authentic leader would realize that not only are such people useless by themselves but that they taint the group and cause high IQ educated people to stay far away. But, no. The leaders exploit the freaks as supporters and sources of money.

More TOO: 

John Samuelssays:

July 30, 2022 at 6:46 pm

Since Sallis has linked to my comment, I’d like to elaborate on something he just wrote with some speculation on my part. Sallis wrote: “How is it possible that the same person who wrote The Trilogy now agrees that an ‘individualist’ is defined as someone who never calls their mother? Am I the only one who thinks that is absolutely ludicrous?”

Someone emotionally distant from his family in the way described is more appropriately referred to as “schizoid.” While some might argue that such emotionally cold individuals simply exhibit a unique cognitive or emotional profile that should not be maligned or pathologized, it’s worth noting that on the whole, even though schizoid individuals may not see themselves as problematic (given that they rarely seek treatment), they tend to have poorer than average social and professional outcomes.

The schizoid personality is not, in my view, one to idealize in any way, as aberrant as it is. Yes, some geniuses, perhaps Tesla among them, were arguably schizoid, but for every Tesla among schizoids there are hundreds or more with very subpar and socially dysfunctional lives (this emotional coldness is not more widespread precisely because there were – and continue to be – selective pressures against it). It’s worth noting that brain scans appear to show schizoid and autistic brains as basically the same (showing a relationship).

My speculation, given the subculture of HBD, is that the autistic or schizoid personality is pedestalized, which is an inversion of sorts with normie society given the penalties associated with such an aberrant personality type (the proliferation of autistic/schizoid incels and the increasingly competitive nature of our society has really brought their frustrations to the fore among very young adults today).

HBD is really a form of projection on the part of men high in schizoid/autistic traits. Ironically, the normies are too smart to fall for this (yeah, they are smarter). Schizoid traits, in my view, should be culled, not idealized.

What about the idea promoted by TOO that I am some sort of ethnic advocate (pot calling the kettle black, perhaps) for Italians? Really? Here's some "Italian advocacy" I suppose:

See this.

Therefore, as a theoretical example, if it were necessary to exterminate 10-20% of the population of, say, Italy, in order to improve the national stock through eugenics, then that would be a quite appropriate price to pay in order to have a population that is more intelligent, disciplined, productive, and creative. 

See this.

If there are Italian readers who are upset with these negative opinions, and who are now gesticulating in outrage, they should consider the following hard truths.

If you behave in a contemptible manner, others will treat you with contempt. If you allow yourself to be the anvil of history, others will be the hammer. If you want respect, you must earn it.

If the Italian people, as currently constituted, have it within themselves to overcome their deficiencies then they need to do so as soon as possible. If they lack the racial character for such an undertaking, then they must submit to an absolutely ruthless regimen of eugenics, to reverse millennia of dysgenic influences. A willingness to continue as an inferior species will do nothing except prove Kesselring correct.

That's my work. That's what TOO asserts is me being an ethnic advocate for Italians with an envious grudge against Nords. It's there in digital black and white - PROOF that TOO is absolutely wrong about what they write about me.

The real "crime" of Ted Swarthis - adhering to truth and facts and logic and refusing to kowtow to "movement" dogma or to "movement" "rock star" gurus. Individualist independence of mind always results in a negative reaction from collectivist conformists. Indeed, ironically enough, given proper definitions of individualism and collectivism, it is Ted Swarthis who is being the individualist and the TOO crowd who are the ostracizing collectivists.

Kevin MacDonald – wrong, wrong, wrong.  According to that, Hungary and Italy are more individualistic than any Scandinavian country, much less Germany. Looking at the differences between Italy and Greece in that table, or between Hungary and Poland (never mind Croatia and Slovenia), it is clear that the differences are most likely due to historical-cultural mechanisms instead of "primordial" evolutionary-ancestry mechanisms - how different are the ancestries in those comparisons? And how do the outcomes differ anyway? Both Italy and Greece are subject to migrant invasion. Hungary and Poland both attempt to resist the EU. Meanwhile, Denmark is less "woke" than Sweden; on other hand, MacDonald talks about Denmark being more "German" than are other Scandinavians yet the Danes are both more individualist and less "woke" than Germans and Scandinavians. Primordial evolutionary explanations? MacDonald's thesis seems not supporting by the facts - unless one accepts his peculiar definitions of individualism.

More:

Low individualism traits include:

• sacrifice for others
• dependence on social unit
• external loss of control
• moral relationship
• external locus of control

ALL of those are attributes of Law of Jante Scandinavian conformist collectivism and enforcing social norms through external social control and ostracism.

Further, it is amusing that MacDonald both defends the validity of HBD and says he is a bit of fan of Salter's EGI, since many HBDers have been attacking "Salterism" from day one, while dastardly Ted Swarthis has been defending it. Indeed, hostility to the idea of EGI and of kinship-based interests is a hallmark of pro-Jewish and pro-Asian HBD, which generally promotes the idea of aracial cognitive elitism instead.

Of related interest: If racial diversity decreases social trust, then it stands to reason that monoethnic populations that have greater genetic heterogeneity will manifest less social trust than more genetically homogeneous populations - relative genetic homogeneity likely being detected at the "street level" by the (crude) proxy of physical appearance phenotype. Although this scenario may manifest only in populations that are overall more individualistic on the global level - like Europe as a whole. Other populations that are very highly collectivist, like the Chinese, can dispense with social trust per se, and they all look alike anyway.

The elites must know that diversity is a devastating weakness and that a multiracial society is a catastrophe. But they have made the (in my opinion incorrect) calculation that fixing the problem is either impossible or too painful (at least for them) and that the solution is worse than the problem. They prefer a slow rot, the frog slowly boiling, with the hope that they and their descendants (if they have any) have enough security to "ride the tiger" of the decline. To them, slowly dying of a cancer is better than a curative painful radical surgery and extreme radiation and chemotherapy. Meanwhile, they'll make the best of it, getting rich and exploiting non-White support and racial conflict for political, social, and economic power. At least they can be the big fish in a polluted small pond, eh?

It is not only the racial and cultural conflict, inflation and other macroeconomic problems, lack of law and order, decaying international standing, etc. that demonstrates a declining America correlating with increased diversity. There's also the general decline in standards and services, crumbling infrastructure with potholes like moon craters, empty supermarket shelves, wildly inconsistent mail delivery, wild animals like coyotes and pumas roaming busy urban areas, and 1001 other signs of a decrepit, dying America. Presciently, in the early 1960s, Thiriart predicted that America's racial problems, particularly with Blacks, would spell the end of America as a major world power.

Listen to this.  Now, I don’t endorse the “Afro Sephardic” host and his opinions, or Monoxide’s conspirtardism, but that’s not relevant here. What is relevant is the content.  I’ve been content the juvenile jackassery of the Alt Right, as is exemplified by TRS, from the start.  But others took TRS seriously – Greg Johnson before he and TRS apparently had a falling out (surprise!) and see this. And note the comments about TRS' anti-Italianism, Nordicism, and Anglomania in that podcast.

Der Movement is a complete catastrophe as I have been saying for years. It is all silly hobbyism.

As a thought experiment, imagine that covid-19 originated in (Southern) Italy. What would be the Der Movement attitude toward the pandemic then? The virus (viruses now, of course, exist) would be a medical public health catastrophe, its origin reflects on the innate deficiencies of the population where it originated, Nutzis would be walking around with masks glued to their faces like the original Baron Zemo, and they'd get so many covid vaccinations that they'd look like Pinhead from Hellraiser. Strip away the facetious hyperbole (not much, truth be told) and there are underlying realities about Der Movement and its obsessions revealed.

Fisking Todd Blodgett

Riposte to a buffoon (aka – answering a former Quota Queen). In all cases, emphasis added.

Laugh at this.

Let’s look at some background about Blodgett before getting to the letter.

Todd Blodgett…

With a surname like “Blodgett” you just know he got an instant free pass in Der Movement. And as you’ll soon see, you’d be correct.

…worked as an FBI informant…

Rat.

….inside the white supremacist movement.

There is no such thing.  There are very few “white supremacists” in America.  There are many pro-White activists, including White nationalists, which is a completely different type of specimen.

His political career began in the Reagan administration as a junior staffer. He helped the 1988 Bush-Quayle presidential campaign. But in the 1990s, Blodgett drifted into circles that included infamous American Nazis like Willis Carto, and “The Turner Diaries” author William Pierce.

Yeah…he “drifted.” Translation: As a NW European “WASP” type, he was immediately scooped up and elevated to high levels in Der Movement sans any real merit.

While Blodgett said he was never a “true believer,” …

There you go.  He was “never a true believer” but he was working with the biggest names in the American Far Right, including Carto and Pierce.  But, you see, you don’t need to be a “true believer” – just have the “correct” ethnic ancestry and surname.

…he helped Carto increase circulation and funding of his tabloid magazine, The Spotlight, and was a co-owner of Resistance Records, the largest white supremacist music label in the U.S. He spent time with other notable white supremacists, including Jared Taylor and David Duke.

Taylor and Duke.  Calling the Southrons!  How could they resist someone named Blodgett?  Of course, had he been named “Finkelstein” or “Chen” he may have still appealed to one of those gentlemen.

In the early-2000s, Blodgett become an FBI informant…

We’ll get an idea why shortly.

…and used his access to the highest levels of the American white supremacist community, including the KKK, neo-Nazis and the Aryan Nations. Since then, Blodgett has spoken out against white supremacy and has worked with groups like Life After Hate that rehabilitate white supremacists.

OK, a typical apostate.  But, we need more information.  

First, see this.

From March 2000 to November 2002, Blodgett was retained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation to supply information concerning organizations and individuals affiliated with the racist Far right. He regularly met with and reported to FBI and JTTF (the Joint Terrorism Task Force) agents and other officials, after attending gatherings hosted by Holocaust Deniers and White Supremacist groups, which featured racist, far-right extremists who were of interest to American anti-terrorism law enforcement officials and agencies.

More importantly, see this.

In the next four years, he would meet and work with other extremists including the notorious..

Emotional ad hominem.

…William Pierce, leader of the neo-Nazi National Alliance. After his role as a broker for Pierce was revealed in the Intelligence Report, Blodgett says his world began to collapse. In short order, he approached the magazine hoping, he said, to redeem himself publicly.

OK.  Motivation part one.  His work for Pierce was exposed, causing difficulties.  Therefore – “he approached the magazine hoping, he said, to redeem himself publicly.” Note there’s nothing there about the ideology of White nationalism being flawed, or the facts upon which that ideology is based being wrong.  Instead, he suffered personally because of System/Left social pricing, and therefore he wanted the personal damage to be alleviated.  

But…there’s more.  Now we’ll move on to motivation part two.

Blodgett: Truthfully, the answer is I was very opportunistically inclined. It was business — strictly business — and now I'm paying the price for it, and I'm not happy about it. I was stiffed by Willis Carto to the tune of about $78,000, and I'm angry.

OK. He was angry about money – allegedly he was “stiffed by Willis Carto to the tune of about $78,000.” Note once again – nothing about ideology, facts, or anything else, re: the cause being wrong.  Again, this was a personal issue. Now, a bit more about motivation number one:

My wife and my parents are not happy about the Washington Post [which ran an article recapitulating the earlier Intelligence Report story], and I want to get past that.

The personal social pricing pressure was increasing since his family was “not happy” about the whole situation, so he wanted “to get past that.”  Once again – a purely personal issue. Where’s the epiphany about the errors of White nationalism?  I’m sure any faux “epiphany” was retroactively applied later to rationalize a personal response to personal issues.

Now, let’s take a step back and discern how he got involved in Der Movement to begin with.

Blodgett: Republicans lost a lot of seats in 1990 and were kind of on the defensive and I just decided I was tired of politics. So I employed my skills as a salesman and advertising writer with a California entrepreneur who was and is the owner of Slick Times, a kind of Clinton lampoon. In January 1995, I decided to start my own consulting company.

In the meantime, Willis Carto had been contacting me to come work for him. I named a price I thought he'd never meet — $3,500 a month — and sure enough, he agreed. He also gave me an assistant.

I mean, do you need any more evidence of the "movement's" ethnic affirmative action policy? He went from “a salesman and advertising writer” and being involved with his “own consulting company" to being recruited to work for one of the leading lights of the American Far Right – and at $3,500 per month (1990s money – adjust for inflation)!  And with an assistant! That’s akin to Johnson hobnobbing with Taylor and Francis from day one, or Spencer being made the head of NPI sans any meaningful qualifications for that position.

Oh, you'll say that the "movement" interest in Blodgett was due to his mainstream Republican connections and was thus somehow merit based.  Really? First, as he himself admits, he was out of the political game when he was recruited by Carto. Second, according to Wikipedia, his initial entry into the mainstream political world was via personal connections, and his father was a politician. So, even if Carto's interest was connected to Blodgett's past foray into Republican activism, that GOP activism itself was connected to a mainstream "good old boys network" that mirrors that of Der Movement. In the end, it all conflates to ethnic affirmative action.

Now, we’ll get confirmation of another Sallisian meme – that some Quota Queens realize that what they are doing is practically hopeless, and are only in it for the money:

…there are certain people out there that when somebody speaks up for what they advocate, they give you money. Carto realized the value of espousing a lost cause: there's money in it.

And here is (according to Blodgett) Carto’s opinion of Der Movement and his role in it:

I asked him one time, "Do you really think you're going to succeed at what you're trying to do?" And he said no. He said, "It's the only thing I can do. I have no hobbies except my garden. I don't have any children." He knows there's no way he's ever going to be influential like he once was. He also once said, "Todd, the problem we have is that everybody on our side is stupid." That's what he said.

Of course, Blodgett can be lying about all of that. Perhaps Carto never said any of it.  Perhaps Blodgett's perception of Carto as being primarily interested in making money is derived from Blodgett's dislike of Carto. But it does have the ring of truth to it, at least from my perspective.

Before I begin fisking Blodgett’s letter, let me begin by summarizing the three major flaws within it.

• 1. He conflates White nationalism with “White supremacism,” which really does not exist anymore to any significant extent, and is quite different from White nationalism. Anyone who mislabels today’s pro-White advocates, including White nationalists, as "White supremacists" is being so fundamentally dishonest that their mendacity suggests to you there is little or nothing of what they say that you should believe.
• 2. He conflates pro-White activism with Der Movement, while in fact the latter is merely the currently extant vehicle for the former, akin to how the Republican Party is currently the vehicle for American conservatism. The failures of the vehicle do not necessarily reflect upon the righteousness of the cause that vehicle allegedly supports. If the vehicle is no good, it should be replaced; you need not give up on the cause itself.
• 3. The righteousness of a cause and the objective facts upon which it is based do not disappear just because a particular person becomes disillusioned with the cause and/or with the vehicle currently embodying that cause. Facts about White demographic displacement, racial reality, anti-White structures of the System, the failures of globalism and multiculturalism, and the reality of ethnic genetic interests, do not disappear just because someone is angry that they got “stiffed” for money by Willis Carto, or because the exposure of their activity upset their family. 

OK, back to the letter.

AN OPEN LETTER TO WHITE SUPREMACISTS

I once trod the treacherous path you’re traveling and it wrecked my life. Taking a detour and exiting the nasty, racist road is as much in your best interest as it is America’s. 

I do agree that it is in the interest of people to leave the catastrophe of Der Movement, but I do NOT agree that they should disavow pro-White activism (two different things; see above). Now, could it be in their selfish personal interest to drop out of activism completely? Well, would it have been in the interest of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to never have become an anti-Soviet dissident? I suppose he would have had a more comfortable life if he hadn’t gone down that path, starting with that Stalin-critical letter that led him from the Red Army to the gulag during WW II. But would that have been in his overall interest?  Would that have led to the proper fulfillment of his life?  His destiny? His dignity and self-worth? Would that have been in the interest of his people?  What is interest anyhow?  What price interest?  And do personal interests include ethnic genetic interests? I say yes. Hence, we can see the interest, the personal interest, in being a racial advocate. Why is it, according to people like Blodgett, only in the interests of Whites, and not of other groups, to eschew racial activism? Why is social pricing, and hence the damage to material personal interests, always focused on Whites and on pro-White activism?

Further: What is America? The concept is essentially meaningless in any practical sense. What is it?  A land area where disparate groups of people live?  A nation state that has drifted away from its original purpose? An economic unit of consumers? What? A set of “ideals?” Ideals are not ultimate interests. As human beings, as evolved organisms, as people, our prime concern is with people; our ultimate interests are in genetic continuity. After all, the “ideals” are for who?  For “Americans?”  What’s an “American”?  Who are the “people” we are concerned with?  The American population is being demographically transformed.  So when we refer to “people” we can ask – “what people?”  Who?  Whom?  If a pregnant illegal alien crosses into the USA and gives birth, then that offspring is an “American citizen.” That’s an “American.” The concept of America, which has become disconnected from a distinct people, and has become unmoored from normal human interests and from basic biology, is, as I have stated, practically meaningless. The concern should be with specific people in America, viewing America and its ideals as a vehicle for meeting the needs of those people and their interests, not as a vehicle for their dispossession and destruction. Talk to me about White Americans, not of an abstract America. Thus, America has no inherent interests.  Only groups of people in America - like White Americans - have inherent interests.

And, by the way, even IF you want to focus on an abstract America and its equally abstract interests, your beloved multiculturalism is destructive to those American interests, and it brings in people who have no understanding of, or interest in, preserving the “ideals” traditionally associated with America, peoples whose presence and whose own ethnocentrism breeds racial and ethnic conflict. Even from the standpoint of abstract ideals, America is a failure, and a greater White homogeneity would only assist in preserving the ideals Blodgett allegedly cares about. So, Mr. Blodgett, you are doubly wrong.

Significant differences exist between legitimate conservatism…

Why is conservatism “legitimate?”  Because it is useless, accomplishes nothing, is part of the System, agrees with the fundamental premises of that System, and is essentially fake, controlled opposition?  In any case, we are NOT conservatives.  What is there to conserve?  I am a Far Right Revolutionary.

…and bigoted, racist hatred. 

Emotional nonsense. In any case, if you are against “bigoted, racist hatred” you should oppose that targeting Whites.

Do you hate minorities so much that you overlook the significant contributions made by Conservatives…

I oppose conservatives, moron.

…who are black, Jewish, Hispanic, and Gay, to the honorable causes of limited government, a strong national defense, lower taxes, and freedom for the individual?

All those ideals are meaningless if they are enjoyed by a different people, if MY people are race replaced.  What Whites should care about “the honorable causes of limited government, a strong national defense, lower taxes, and freedom for the individual” in a Brown America?  And even his own premise is silly, since the vast majority of Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, and Gays are leftists who oppose all of these “legitimate” and “honorable” conservative concerns. If you really cared about those concerns, then you’d want a White America, full of people who have repeatedly demonstrated a fidelity to those issues and concerns.

And anyway, the whole point of White nationalism is that we do NOT want to live in the same polity, in the same society, as non-White peoples, regardless of if they are “conservatives.” This idiot is speaking a different language than what the “white supremacists” he is addressing actually understand - they understand RACE and CIVILIZATION, not tax rates and limited government.  By the way, has conservatism actually achieved progress toward any of your “honorable” causes? No, America moves in the opposite direction, away from those ideals, because of racial demographics.

Further, these days, mainstream conservatives are called "Nazis" and attacked in the streets, GOP congressmen are shot at (e.g., Scalise), and GOP senators assaulted (e.g. Paul). Rational people see what's happening in America and view Blodgett's stupidity as either painfully naive or blatantly mendacious (and that was true when the letter was written, not just today).

If so, you’re subscribing to an agenda comprised of unadulterated HATRED. 

So, Whites defending their group interests is “unadulterated HATRED.” Other groups doing the same is wonderfully admirable, and as you note, not criticized by this buffoon, who thus, in his hypocrisy, essentially confirms the validity of the WN worldview.

The high-tech, PR-savvy…

They’re not.

…well-funded…

That’s true, although they always cry poverty.

…evildoers…

Hmmm. Call your opponents “evildoers.”  Cue Dr. Evil asking for “one million dollars.”  Grow up.

…you’ve thrown in with will alter your life in the most negative of ways – as personal experience taught me. 

So, this moron is angry at Carto over money, and he is upset that his activity with Pierce got exposed, so that’s the “personal experience” he’s talking about, that and being a FBI informant – a rat.

If happiness, stability, and success are your goals, then you must open your mind and change your heart. 

Sure! Supporting a System that hates you for your race, and practices de jure and de facto discrimination against you, and defames your race and civilization, is the road to happiness and stability.

It’s not too late to change, and your past can be a lesson, not a life sentence. The late Willis Carto – a professional White Supremacist/anti-Semite, who conjured up the fraud called Holocaust denial, and who spent 60 years promoting hatred – was my boss from 1995 to 1998. 

And what real qualifications did you have for that?  Besides being a High Truster named Blodgett? Besides being involved in the GOP due to family and other personal connections? Did you ever have an involvement in politics - either mainstream or Far Right - based purely on your own merits?

To my lasting regret, I raised nearly $3 million for his Liberty Lobby, and generated an even greater amount of advertising revenue for his publications.

With all the money floating around Der Movement, that’s no grand accomplishment.

Within a few years, my business partner was Dr. William L. Pierce – the founder of the National Alliance, who wrote ‘The Turner Diaries’. 

Affirmative action.

He and Carto were America’s leading neo-Nazis. Motivated by greed and a lust for power, Pierce, Carto, and I owned what was then the world’s most profitable, successful racist music company, Resistance Records. These facts, for which I’ve atoned, won’t ever go away.

The facts about White race replacement and the System’s anti-White racism “won’t ever go away” either.

I routinely dealt directly with sociopaths like David Duke, ‘Pastor’ Richard Butler, Erich Gliebe, and John Tyndall, and racist killers like Jamie Von Brunn, Eric ‘the Butcher’ Fairburn, Tommy Mair, Wade Michael Page, and Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, among many others. 

High Trusters!  Inner Hajnal!   

My life spiraled downward, resulting from my involvement in HATE. This included becoming a drug addict for seven+ years, getting divorced and nearly being killed in a knife fight. These tragic consequences and others could’ve been averted had I avoided the vile realm of White Supremacy, even as an opportunistic profiteer. 

Make sure you capitalize "HATE" just in case your readers are not sure of whether you disapprove or not.

What an imbecile. His personal choices, his defects, those he blames on a set of political beliefs. As if being pro-White means you must be a drug addict, and, gee whiz, you can’t find any anti-racist leftist drug addicts anywhere, much less Black ones, right? Only White activists get divorced and, of course, there's never been Whites knifed by racist criminal Negroes.  Bad things happen to people only if they are pro-White, and don't you forget it!  This guy’s “logic” and his writing style (“vile realm of White Supremacy”) is akin to that of a not-too-bright twelve year old girl.

Monitoring haters for the FBI as a full-time, paid informant…

Note - paid. Being on the side of the angels, against hate wasn’t enough. Like Judas, he wanted his thirty pieces of silver.  Betrayal for a price.  Take that, you cheapskate Carto!

…opened my eyes to the insecurity of most of those who were brain-washed into the counterproductive, evil world in which you’re now ensconced. 

Pure projection. All these apostates are insecure, personal defectives and failures, who get involved in the cause for the wrong, almost always personal, reasons, and leave for the same bad reasons. You’ll note that nowhere in this screed is any sort of reasoned, analytical rebuttal of White nationalist beliefs. It is all emotion, all personal issues, and all superficial leftist buzzwords.

Seeking personal redemption helped me realize a better life was, indeed, within my grasp. I slayed my demons, beat drug addiction and got my life back on track. You, too, can do this! Walking away isn’t hard, but remaining with hateful, violence-prone, racist losers will ruin you.

One basic problem with the “movement” is that is full of drug addicted, illogical, hysterical losers like Blodgett, who have NOTHING going for them but their ethnicity.

Removing your Swastikas, covering up racist tattoos, replacing Doc Martens boots with pricey athletic shoes and wearing tassled loafers, Polo shirts and khakis, and calling yourselves “identitarians” instead of neo-Nazis, fools no one. 

As if most WNs were like that. I thought stereotyping was "bigotry?"  By the way, if "no one" is being fooled by pro-White activists, why do you and your handlers worry so much about those haters?

If your ideas were sound, you’d not need to engage in such chicanery. Got it?

Pure projection.  If YOUR ideas were sound, you’d need not write a long screed that contains ZERO substantive content, and is nothing but “being an activist made be angry and unhappy, so it is bad.” Got it?  Your mendacity fools no one.

Question - if WN ideas are so unsound, then why are they repressed by the System/Left instead of debated and refuted?

I hope and pray you’ll turn your life around, and that you and all misguided activists leave the milieu of organized Hate. 

Join the System that hates you and is destroying your race and civilization. That'll turn your life around. Just make sure you're paid for it, amirite?

Those who admit they were wrong are in a great position to help make things right.

Yes, make things right by being a PAID informant.  You may as well make a buck when you “make things right,” eh?

Like many who are now wasting their lives in this putrid, so-called Movement, I’ve been jailed. More than once. 

Was that a direct result of your prior beliefs? If not, it is irrelevant.  If so, being jailed for your beliefs means that the anti-System worldview of WNs has validity – the System is repressively anti-White. Either way, you're wrong. And if you were jailed because of activity you did that was somehow connected with your work for Carto and/or Pierce, that's either on you - a mistake you made - or it is diagnostic of a repressive System (or both).  Either way, you're wrong...again.

But whether or not you’ll ever be locked up, as long as you harbor hateful, anti-Semitic, bigoted thoughts, you’re locked in a hellish jail of your own making. 

Huh?  Having a set of political beliefs is not a “hellish jail.” The real “hellish jail” is not the straw man of “hateful, anti-Semitic, bigoted thoughts” but instead it is the reality of multiracial America.

So, set yourself free; unlock your mind…

Yes, reject the System and embrace White nationalism. That's my prescription, although I'm sure that's not exactly what Blodgett has in mind here.

…and banish hate from your soul. 

Tell that to those who hate Whites.

Having learned this the hard way, it’s easy for me to see where you’ll end up, unless you alter your thinking and change your ways. 

Don’t blame a set of political beliefs for your personal inadequacies.

You CAN get your life on track, even if it wasn’t previously all that cool. It’s easier than you think, and you won’t regret it. Trust me, I know.

In summary, Blodgett is a meritless defective Quota Queen loser, elevated in Der Movement because of his High Truster ancestry, who left Der Movement for purely personal reasons, became a paid FBI rat, and now justifies his pathetic life by preaching to us as if he had a grand epiphany. But, hey, trust him...he knows. He knows how to be a useless asshole.

Once again – there isn’t a single substantive, objective argument against White nationalism in that letter.  Not a single one.  Nothing. It’s all emotion.  It’s all the story of a pathetic defective, by his own admission not a “true believer,” who got involved in the cause for all the wrong reasons, left for personal reasons, became a PAID FBI informant, and now spews girlish tirades – Evil! Vile! Hate! – assuming that all WNs are as defective as he was (and likely, still is), and will become ever-so-happy if they ditch their beliefs – ideas that he has no actual arguments against – and become more System zombies.

What a buffoon.

It is obvious to the reader of this post that I was rather irritated by Blodgett's letter; the combination of emotional non-argument, illogic, and empty platitudes was just too much to take. The disturbing question is this - how many people like this are there in Der Movement today?  How many are not true believers, how many are FBI informants, grifters, drug addicts, or other types of defectives? Then we have the Hermansson case, which demonstrated how easy it is for even a non-government actor to infiltrate pro-White activism; Der Movement is lucky Hermansson was only a (relatively) short-term information-gathering infiltrator and not a long-term mole. With his ancestry and ability to make high-level "movement" connections, he could have risen to a position of some influence, and did considerable damage.  His sexuality, as we can observe with others, would not have been a hindrance for this (I wonder if his sexuality was known by any of the "movement" people he interacted with during his infiltration).

One wonders if such moles currently exist and how high in the "movement" hierarchy are they?  Who are they and what are they doing?

Odds and Ends, 5/17/22

In der news.

Can you believe this outrageous despicable hypocrite?

Lord ShangMay 14, 2022 at 2:06 am

Thank you. This makes me lose some respect for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene who appeared at a conference with Fuentes (maybe his group sponsored it). I recall the WSJ chastised her for bad judgment...

Gee...anyone else attend the conference, you mendacious turd? Anyone ever notice that there is a close correlation between being a Nordicist and being completely bereft of character?

So, the next time a "movement" turd says that:

a) Fuentes is poison and is a destructive force, or

b) They've "lost respect" for some mainstream conservative or minor "movement" figure who associated with Fuentes

Remember that picture

When "America First" implodes in a tragicomedy, just like the Alt Right did, remember that picture.

Greg Johnson, Feb. 2022:

Nick Fuentes is extremely effective at arguing that America is a white nation, that white people are under attack, and that white people should fight back...he openly talks about white genocide, the Great Replacement, and Jewish power. We hope AFPACIII will be a successful event that pushes the Overton window toward white identity politics.

Also Feb.2022:

…Fuentes still comes off looking impressive in this episode. Thus it is a net gain for white identity politics.

Greg Johnson, May 2022:

The Fuentes cult’s last resort, the childish jeer: You are jealous of our leader!

I am sure the people at Jonestown said the same thing about Jim Jones’s critics.

In my opinion, these people are dangerous as “leaders” – poor judgment, indecisive, no accountability.

And think of how badly Spencer screwed up for it to reach the point that his activist career imploded.  On second thought, if he hadn’t managed to alienate virtually every faction of the Far Right, capped off by supporting Biden, he likely would have survived all of his catastrophes.  But he lost the support of the “good old boys network” and so that was that.

My hypothesis of why Johnson has so many “haters” is as follows.  Johnson is a self-righteous hypocrite who bans critics, pathologizes criticism, and refuses to debate anyone above the level of midwits like Anglin, Gariepy, and Jones. That incites contempt and disgust, which is amplified by the transformation of Counter-Currents into a vehicle for page views and fundraising, coupled to the mendacity of the site’s current writers and commentators. That contempt and disgust is described as “hate,” and Johnson stupidly tries to conflate substantive criticism about ideology, facts, and tactics to the obsessive infatuation exhibited by celebrity stalkers (I note that one Scottish critic of Johnson ascribed the latter’s own obsessions about Spencer to a “bitter gay crush,” so one wonders to who the celebrity stalker designation most accurately applies).  In summary, I see Johnson’s “haters” as completely justified, and not “cackling madmen.”

I was talking to some Balkanoids from EU nations, and they were complaining how their nations were being deindustrialized and even stripped of agricultural production by EU policies. Then the Germans will complain how “having to support incompetent southerners and easterners.”  This is like how Southern Italy was stripped bare after Italian unification. You take away a people’s ability to support themselves and then you complain about how useless and lazy they are.

A Gab correspondent who is a friend of this blog pointed me to the Buffalo shooter's "manifesto" and pro-Asian comments therein. 

We can observe that the Buffalo shooter is a HBD Nordicist; excerpts, emphasis added:

When I refer to East Asians, I refer to those of Japanese, Korean, and Eastern Chinese descent. I think that East Asians are quite admirable. The average East Asian tends to perform better in academics than the average White, which of course leads to more skilled and higher-paying jobs. This is all due to superior traditional values and genetics.

…physical characteristics that are much more frequent in Jews than any other race, such as hooked noses, beady eyes, gravely voices, shorter bodies and arms, and flat feet. But of course this phenotype can also be found in other Mediterranean people, such as Southern Italians, Turks, Greeks, and other Levantines such as the Druze, Lebanese, and Samaritans.

And lots more there in the “manifesto” about genes and IQ, etc. HBD-Nordicism is a curse on pro-White activism.

(Justified) Black feelings of inferiority toward Whites in part provokes Black violence. If HBD (falsely) tells Whites that they are inferior to East Asians, will that affect weak-minded White youths and cause violence? Was the Buffalo shooting ultimately due to deep-seated feelings of inferiority due to "race realist" Yellow Supremacism? Are HBDers causing at risk White youth to become violent? Real White advocates must speak out against the HBDers poisoning the minds of our youth.

Serious question - will HBD and HBD Nordicism lead to violent attacks against Italian-Americans? HBD activist logic: Well, you see, Southern Italians/Sicilians are low IQ, part-Black non-Whites, physically akin to "Mediterranean" Jews and Turks, therefore...hostility to Italians? We have just seen that HBD leads to violence. HBD previously has led to people supporting Chinese government narratives about covid. White ethnics are in danger from HBD.

Do Italian-Americans need to organize for physical protection against violent HBDers?

The Moral Responsibility for Buffalo

Here we go again.

We once again observe an explosion of Type I retardation, this time in Buffalo, and we observe the boringly repetitive boilerplate “movement” response. The same tired imbecility repeats itself over and over again.

Based on current available data, the only person legally responsible for this event is the shooter (assuming an eventual conviction). What about moral responsibility (apart from the shooter himself)? Certainly, a large portion of moral responsibility lies with the System/Left, which creates, maintains, and enforces the anti-White infrastructure and culture of America. That is obvious. That is what ultimately provokes outbursts such as this. The Mainstream Right also has moral responsibility, as they are part of the same System, are complicit in the anti-White structures of American society, and represent a fake opposition to the Left.  

However, and this must be emphasized, there is also considerable moral responsibility further to the right – right-wing populists (e.g., Trump), the Far Right (e.g., Der Movement), as well as the gray area in between (e.g., the Alt Lite). And this moral responsibility is NOT for the reasons that the lying System/Left claims – e.g., “The Right creates, promotes, legitimizes, and encourages hatred and violence” – since Der Right does NOT want these violent events to happen and indeed responds negatively to such events, which are certainly not promoted or encouraged by Der Right. Indeed, Der Right constantly attacks the idea of using violence, and instead counsels its followers to "give donations" or "buy books" or "vote for Trump" or other such cul-de-sacs of "activity." Instead, the opposite is more true, these events occur not because Der Right is so successful (in “promoting hate”) but because Der Right is so unsuccessful in everything that it actually does, so dishonest, so betraying, so contemptuous, and so utterly useless that it makes vulnerable Whites disillusioned and depressed, and makes them feel that the only thing they can do to make a difference is to last out with violence. 

How (more specifically) does Der Right disillusion people so badly that they explode in this manner?

White people voted for Trump in the hope that finally someone in power would defend, even if just implicitly, White American interests. What they got instead was the Kardashian/West prison reform for Blacks, the Jack Johnson pardon, a bizarre diplomatic spat with Sweden in defense of Black rapper ASAP Rocky, endless talk about “Black unemployment rates,” and empty tweets of “Law and Order!” as America burned in the spring and summer of 2020.

Der Movement and the Alt Lite talk big, and promise victory, but instead exhibit endless failure and humiliation, as they lurch from one catastrophe to another. The collapse of the Alt Right is just a recent example of decades-long failure. They then add to that negative record by always rattling the tin cup; the pro-White Right is, in my opinion, composed of money-hungry grifters more concerned with their bank accounts than with achieving any success for their people. Vulnerable Whites, particularly disenfranchised and disgruntled young White men, are told that giving money is important and will lead to victory. Instead, what they actually observe is this support allowing one Quota Queen to go to movies, allegedly travel Europe with young men in tow, and allegedly engage in a bizarre incident in a European men's room; another Quota Queen to grow a porn star moustache while waxing eloquent over the merits of high-IQ Asians; and yet another Quota Queen to maintain his lustrous head of hair and receive CEO-level “executive compensation.” Then there is the Grand King of the Alt Lite who receives supporter money while describing an aging Filipina as “Mommy.”

Confronted with all of that, immature and weak-minded people become disillusioned, depressed, and lash out with violence.

If there was an authentic, honest, honorable, and successful Far Right then there would likely not be such a build-up of dashed hopes and frustrated disillusionment that the pressure needs to be vented by unfortunate bursts of acting out.

Actually, the “successful” is I believe not even necessary (although of course desirable) – the other components alone could be sufficient to prevent these types of events. The Sallis Groupuscule is certainly (currently) not successful at all, but let us consider what it preaches:

• 1. The situation is very grim; there is no attempt to foster illusion with false hopes.
• 2. A strategic plan is proposed, since although the situation is grim there is still a slight possibility of success if things are done correctly.
• 3. Regardless of the outcome, the first priority for our people, especially the young, is to take care of themselves first – their health, their families, their careers, their economic viability, and their personal self-fulfillment. Only once you have solidified your own life should you engage in sane and legal productive activism.

The Sallis Groupuscule may not be exciting, may not get many “page views,” is not part of “the good old boys network,” but the memes promoted by the Sallis Groupuscule lead to an acceptance of reality, long-range planning, and people building productive lives to “ride the tiger” while hoping one day to (legally, politically) destroy the tiger.

In contrast, Der Right lies to its followers that victory is certain and inevitable, proposes “plans” that conflate to endless fundraising and utter failure with respect to actual real-world White advocacy, and encourages followers to be downwardly mobile and make sacrifices for the “movement.” These memes are tailor-made to lead to disillusionment, dashed hopes, and despair.  This leads to the moral responsibility for events like the Buffalo shooting.

Der Movement’s “leaders” view themselves as swan-like angelic Eloi; in actuality, they are morally deformed monsters.

They disgust me and they should disgust you as well.

Odds and Ends, 5/10/22

In der news.

The Nordicism of Counter-Currents commentators is such that the stridently anti-Italian passages in The Dispossessed Majority is not enough for them - they have to invent passages that aren't in that book.

While I did not find any reference to "Sicilians are Black" in The Dispossessed Majority, that trope is found in movies made by individuals of full or part Italian descent, such as David Chase and Quentin Tarantino. And of course, comments such as "Africa begins at Rome (or Naples)" are made by Northern Italians for the amusement of Northern Europeans. This defect in the Italian character, this need to curry favor with northerners by denigrating other Italians, must be faced and cannot be responsibly evaded. And it doesn't work. Mussolini still gets called a "Negroid asshole" by Germans and Italy from Rome southwards is still "Africa" regardless of how mainland Southern Italians point the finger at Sicilians (and who do the Sicilians attack - Sardinians?). Other ethnies may have their internal squabbles, but they do not air them to outsiders like retarded buffoons

White ethnics in Der Movement should be aware that racial attacks against them by their "comrades" can occur at any time, in many cases completely unexpected, like a bolt out of the blue. One minute all is well, the next, your "whiteness" is questioned, your ethny defamed and mocked, bizarre racial "histories" invented, and quotes fabricated. Further, seemingly "benign" "leaders" will suddenly vent their ethnic resentments about those "foreigners" who don't belong in "my country" (talking about White ethnics, not Jews or Coloreds). 

Zoltan is a Hungarian name, so it’s unlikely his ancestors came over on the Mayflower…This is the perfect symbol for our degenerate times. Foreigners tell the American founding stock how benighted and deserving of oblivion we are…

There are leftist Whites of many ethnicities, what is the relevance of one of them being of Hungarian ancestry? And anti-White politics affect all Whites, not just founding stock.

White ethnics: Don't say you haven't been warned.

A friend of this blog on Gab alerts me to the these search results. The obsession with Sicilians by the Instauration crew was an early-day example of ethnic fetishism.

Why do corporations take the chance of "go woke, go broke?" First, some of the corporate leaders are ideologues who put politics ahead of profits. Second, and more importantly, they (for the most part accurately) calculate that the Right is inept at organizing boycotts and publicizing a cause, particularly when the media help to suppress (or mock) it. Third, they correctly calculate that Whites are lazy and indifferent, re: their own interests, and won't sacrifice convenience for a cause. On the other hand, the Left and the Coloreds are motivated enough to organize to affect corporate profits. Fourth, if most or all companies go woke, consumers will have little choice but to patronize one of them - solidarity in wokeness. Go woke, go broke doesn't actually happen that often, or often enough to dissuade them.

In the 1970s, Der Movement had two viable paths - the Tommasi path of violent action (much more viable at that time than later) or the Sallis path of slow and steady infiltration of the System. Instead, it did neither, and just engaged in Hitler fetishism, Nordicism, Turner Diaries fantasizing, and saying that long term action is useless because "the collapse is five years away." When The Order decided to do Tommasi-like action nearly a decade after his death, the window of opportunity for that sort of thing had passed. The USA was in the era of Reaganite stability and optimism, the chaos of the 60s and 70s was replaced by Ronnie Raygun and "fight the commies." And so decades were wasted.

Taking issue with gays = closeted homosexual

Where have I heard that before…

You hear it all the time because it is distressingly true. “Taking issue” = rhetorical minimalization strategy. After all, doesn’t everybody have “issues” with gays?"

So, if you don't want lisping homosexuals as "leaders" of your "movement" then you yourself are of course homosexual. Got a problem with someone trying to get fellated by a dachshund? Then you're having a torrid sexual affair with the family cat. QED.

Thus, every time a Counter-Currents commentator is observed "taking issue" with miscegenation that is a "rhetorical minimalization strategy" to hide their own race-mixing desires. How about this instead - normal people are repulsed by both homosexuality and miscegenation and want neither in a so-called "movement" promoting White interests? See this. Relevant excerpt:

In his essays on homosexuality, Andrew Joyce effectively debunked the tired trope that asserts that someone who criticizes a behavior (such as homosexuality) “secretly wants to do it themselves.” Joyce is of course correct. Imagine applying that silly idea to other behaviors. If you critique someone having a Chinese wife and mixed-race children, that means you secretly want to marry and reproduce with (and engage in “measured groveling” to) Ms. Wei Fuk Yu. If you cite someone’s stated desire to get a blowjob from a dachshund that means you have amorous intentions toward Fido. I suppose you can’t condemn pedophilia or mass murder either, because, well, you know. The concept is stupid and childish and it is not surprising that those involved in a stupid and childish “movement” perpetuate that meme.
