Well Then
After thirty years?
Considering again the comments for this podcast, we observe something interesting. Some time ago, at Counter-Currents, I had a back-and-forth with Silver (in his guise as “Verlis”) about Amren and Taylor. In contrast to Silver’s pro-Taylor, pro-Amren views, I took a negative view – that after a quarter century or more (at that time) of activity, Amren and Taylor really haven’t accomplished anything (and the same holds for Der Movement in general); thus:
…Given the standard human lifespan, and given the current negative and rapidly declining racial trends, it is not unreasonable to look for ***some*** signs of progress after 25-30 years of sustained effort. No, we are not asking for “victory” and we are not asking for “rapid growth” – merely asking: is the experiment better off today than when it started? Better than 20 years ago? 10? Five years? Better in any way at all?
If we cannot see such signs, and if the experiment shows no signs of re-direction, we can say, without rancor, without personal animus, with good faith and sincerity – “I appreciate what you have done, and best of luck to you, but I need to try something else.” It is also possible to critique other ongoing experiments without personal rancor (note I did not name anyone in my original comment).
Moderation, trying to appeal to a historically hostile group that does nothing but denounce you, this has not led to success. And, over time, it has real costs – “turning off” dedicated activists, diluting and diverting the message, misdirecting efforts,
Equating “what has been accomplished in a QUARTER-CENTURY?” with “Dad, are we there yet?” is the height of mendacity. I don’t know, if that kid has been driven around aimlessly for 25 years, probably he should ask if he’s there yet or not. The “movement” certainly is not “there” yet, or anywhere close to “there.”
Now, Silver (who admits not even having listened to the interview), calls Taylor a “clown,” mocks him as “Mr. Classy,” and states: How could someone have been at this for over thirty years (!) and think "why don't you go back to your own country" is a good look?

Mr. Taylor asks why don't Indians go back to India.
I couldn't be bothered listening to the interview, but did Taylor actually ask that?
If he did, sheesh, what a clown. So much for his reputation as "Mr. Classy." Does he really think that question makes the pro-white side look good?

It's not a question of fairness, it's a question of effectiveness. How could someone have been at this for over thirty years (!) and think "why don't you go back to your own country" is a good look?
I myself never called Taylor a clown (that is unfair) and I do not think Taylor did anything wrong in the interview with respect to the question at hand. But, note how Silver is now questioning Taylor’s “effectiveness” after “for over thirty years (!)” of activism.
Well then. Once again, who was right in the first place?
Rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black who were prosecuted on federal weapons offenses, were also granted pardons.
You are triggered because I'm superior to you in every way imaginable. I pity you.
