Odds and Ends, 7/21/21

In der news.

Of interest.

Further, the high morale and solidarity that citizens exhibit during a disaster dissolve the individualist outlook that elites have long learned to control and maintain. The seemingly positive and prosocial solidarity response of the population is itself a threat to the mechanisms of elite power in our society. Just as disasters empower normal citizens on the ground, who have no choice but to take fate into their own hands, they leave elites feeling distant and helpless. Chess and Clarke call this state of affairs “elite panic:” a fearful distrust of the populace that prompts leaders to restrict information, over-concentrate resources, and use coercive methods to reassert authority in the face of temporary breakdowns in public order. This style of response poses an active danger to disaster survivors and, ironically, creates the very resistance to authority that leaders fear most. Nowhere is this clearer than in the history of epidemic response.

The people must be trusted with fear, and the governing class must be comfortable with leadership during times of crisis. Fear is an unpleasant emotion— but at times, a useful one. Fear lends urgency to action. Fear forces the afraid to focus on that which matters. This is the great lesson of the 2020 coronavirus: We should have been allowed to fear. Alas, our leaders feared our fear more than they feared our deaths. The world bears the consequences of this stark faith in the myth of panic.

One wonders if “elite panic” describes the reaction of “movement” leadership to activists realizing that Der Movement is a pathetic failure and feeling fear at the imminent collapse of any credible White racialist resistance?

According to the MacDonaldite hypothesis, Northwest Europeans are particularly susceptible to Jewish/Globalist manipulation because the Inner Hajnal Nords are highly individualistic, altruistic, egalitarian, etc.

But wouldn't that also make them very susceptible to manipulation by HBDers? Wouldn't that make them more gullible to various HBD-style memes (ironically enough, including the MacDonaldite hypothesis itself)?

Finally, and as stated before here, why should such easily manipulated and gullible types be allowed to monopolize leadership positions in the pro-White dissident movement?

Wouldn't you want more ethnocentric and less easily manipulated people in such positions - that is, if you REALLY believed in the reality of such stark intra-European differences in behavior?

Regnery has died. Regnery represents the tragedy of lost opportunities. A person with his money, willing to donate to the Far Right, could have been a game-changer, instead of flushing the money down the Der Movement toilet.

Not surprising he was in Florida. Anyone who has followed Der Movement with any interest has noticed the Beltway/Virginia-Georgia-Florida axis, what the Majority Rights crowd perceptively termed "The Regnery Circus" - a gaggle of fetishists, Anglocentrics, Nordicists, ethnonationalists, HBDers, grifters, traditionalists, and/or homosexuals.

Imagine if that money had gone into building a real legal defense (and offense) infrastructure, lobbying, meeting places, funding people like Salter, etc.

Der Movement has objected to the movie Caddyshack because they claim it is anti-WASP (it is) and reflects Jewish anxieties and anger over being excluded from "WASP country clubs" (it does). What Der Movement fails to mention (of course) is that the movie is also anti-Italian, perhaps because Der Movement shares the Jewish Hollywood perception of "the wops" as greasy, stupid, violent, hyper-sexed, thuggish punks.

The "good guys" of the film (apart from "spaced out" deracialized WASP "Ty" - a model for the type of Old Stock degeneracy that Jews have always promoted) are crypto-Jewish "Eastern Europeans" as well as Irish Catholics. Both Jews and the Irish gave us the 1965 Immigration Act ("good guys"), while Italian-Americans have moved to the right politically ("bad guys").

Amusingly, Humphrey Ireland was distraught about right-wing wops (the dreaded John Marchi!) - how dare "they" invade "our" conservatism!

See this.

To give his views a more public face, in 2005 he spent $380,000 to create the National Policy Institute, a think tank designed to inject white-supremacist ideas into mainstream political conversations.

But the institute languished for its first decade, even after Mr. Regnery hired the alt-right figure Richard Spencer, a charismatic former Ph.D. student, in 2011.

Rewritten for more accuracy:

But the institute languished for its first decade, especially after Mr. Regnery hired the failed alt-right figure Richard Spencer, a charismatic former Ph.D. student, in 2011.

Imagine if that $380,000 had been used to create a legal defense infrastructure.  

Once again I ask Johnson – what were Spencer’s qualifications being made the head of NPI?

Those Japanese Ice People

"Derb Jr." writes and whines. Read this as an antidote to despicable scum like Jason Malloy who once (~ 15 years ago) absurdly labeled Japan as a “Western” nation. If white people are to become minorities in the countries our ancestors built, and if we face a future where we may be ruled over by envious and malevolent non-whites, I would rather my overlords be Japanese than Muslims or sub-Saharan Africans.  And let’s not forget those Chinese girls with guns. Of course, if possible I prefer to live free among my own people. Too late…you made your bed and now lie in it… literally. But if, by some miracle, white ethno-states become a reality in the West, will I—and my Japanese wife and mixed-race child—be accepted?  No. Or would I be rejected as a miscegenating traitor to my race? Yes, you filthy scum. My wife has many years of experience living and working in the US, and our child was born there. We agree that life in America is in many ways preferable to living in Japan. ...

Tales of Fst: Sallis vs. Lewontin

A small scale yet informative analysis of genetic variation. Read this. We are all aware of the “more variation within groups than between groups” argument against the biological validity of race. Now, I believe – or at least hope – that honest population geneticists (albeit very few if any exist) know better not to make absurd claims about Lewontin’s “finding” – that it “makes race meaningless” or that “people are more closely related to members of other races than members of their own race.”  At least they won’t say that among themselves, in their publications, or among other types of academics, but maybe they’ll still try to fool the rubes; after all, from my personal experience most population geneticists are anti-White SJW leftists. The problem is more with your rank-and-file leftist, your Tim Wise types, your opinion writers, “anthropologists,” openly political population geneticists (the majority who are apparently dishonest), writers of “popular science,” politicians, blogg...

Take a Bite Out of That Nothingburger!

Der Movement: Always, always, always wrong. Watch this. The “nothingburger” continues , eh “movement?” Please read about the monsters here. The jury is still out as to what caused the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan. Chinese authorities initially suspected a wet market in Wuhan where wild animals like bats and snakes were sold illegally. A nearby biolab has also attracted scrutiny, and increased suspicion as Chinese authorities have been stubbornly unwilling to cooperate with skeptics requests. But regardless of how the outbreak started, it has already raised questions about traditional Chinese practices of consuming wild animals, either for medicinal purposes - for example, it's believed that eating civet cats, vermin akin to raccoons, can bequeath more sexual vigor - or as delicacies (remember "bat soup"?). I suppose that “more sexual vigor” via a civet cat snack is necessary in the absence of any phenotypic sexual dimorphism among potential partners. SJWs (and I suppos...
