Odds and Ends, 8/28/21

In der news.

High Trusters on the march. Hey, I've long predicted that a "movement" "leader" would be outed as an infiltrator; I thought it would be someone more prominent, but there's still time for that. Note that I am not committing the error I condemn in others of accusing specific people of being "Feds" - merely saying that there is a high probability that some people are - confirmed in this case.

See this.  Der Movement marches on.

The (mostly White) public obsession with zombies in popular culture really took off after the 1965 Immigration Act and has only accelerated with increasing diversity. All the anxiety about invasion and contamination, the shuffling mindless hordes disturbing a once quiet life, it's all there - the rising tide of color as the zombie plague. The White "Man's" response to demographic displacement - instead of opposing the invasion, just watch a horror movie as an analog of your impending doom.

van de Camp's (and other people's) nonsense about "White" Afghans likely has as its genesis an Anglo attitude of "all wogs seem the same to me." After all, if they have to consider "dusky" Italians and Greeks as White, why not Afghans and Hindu Brahmins?

Can you believe this?  This guy regularly makes superfluous, childish insults toward Italian-Americans (and many others), and then pretends not to know what “trolling” is or why people get annoyed by his writing. Either he is lying or is pathologically self-unaware.

And as regards his arguments against “anonymity” and his claims of having answered all defenses of anonymity, see this.  And if he is so offended by “anonymity” he shouldn’t do livestreams with Johnson until Greggy shows his face on camera. Further, is “Nicholas Jeelvy” and “Full Moon Ancestry” the real names of his fellow previous co-livestreamers? He doesn’t like people not being able to face their accuser? Talk to Greggy about banning people from his blog and refusing to debate them. Who is “Trevor Lynch” by the way? Any complaints about “Hood” and “Kirkpatrick?” What a hypocrite.

Actually, I am in the wrong here. I am wrong for wasting my time reading Counter-Currents. I shouldn't even comment on what that guy says, just let him alienate the bulk of Counter-Currents supporters and commentators, who are anonymous. Indeed, Goad's payments from Counter-Currents are being funded by the "D'Nations" from supporters who are mostly anonymous. So, it's all good!

Does the editor have anything to say on this subject?

I ask since one of the instructions to people wanting to sign up for the paywall is to give their “Desired username (this should not be your real name)”.

Presumably, you’re not using your counter-currents paywall privileges for trolling.

Sorry, Nick (your real name, no doubt), Goad's criticisms of anonymity, which have occurred before, are more broad-based, and not only about trolling. He previously attacked Jef Costello for using a pseudonym - not for trolling but merely for criticizing Goad's writing.

Thus, "Middle Class Twit" asks a legitimate question and Jeelvy is being dishonest.

I'll say one more thing on this subject for now. Some people who engage in online anonymity today actually DID engage in real-world, real name, face-to-face, open activism back in the day. Some people had skin in the game, literally. But then they grew up, matured, and realized that the "movement" is (and always has been) a pathetic joke, populated to a large extent by freaks, infiltrators, and grifters, with "leaders" who are absolutely useless for anything other than taking money from gullible people. Given that reality, taking a step back made good sense.

I'll say this - let all the Grand Poobahs of the "movement" - you know all the folks who get the big "executive compensation" money - build a real genuine movement, something worth sacrificing for, something with a real chance for victory, and some of those old analog activists will come out of "semi-retirement" and get openly involved again. Good luck with that.

It’s interesting that most of the people attacking anonymity are full-time activists/writers whose livelihoods depend on the generosity of anonymous supporters. Although their inane drivel is offensive in its hypocrisy, it is a good thing that people like Goad and Morgan alienate the same people whose donations pay their salaries. It would be fitting if all those supporters vote with their wallets and stop donating to Counter-Currents.  I doubt they have the self-respect to do so, but we can always hope. Then the critics can go out in the real world and actual do real work for a living.

Laugh at this.  But, hey, deciding who you want to sell or rent your home to is not your "personal choice" and not your "freedom" and if you violate Federal Civil Rights laws by exercising your freedom of association, don't be surprised if a good old boy wearing a cowboy hat comes to arrest you.

Some of us remember when Gaslighting Greg was taking a more responsible and fact-based anti-flubro position on Twitter and was debating the likes of Gariepy and Anglin on the issue. These days, Counter-Currents has become a haven for the most absurd conspiritard flubro nonsense.

Is it because Johnson has changed his mind? If so, he's an idiot, since there's no rational reason for some of the absolute nonsense that passes for content on this issue at his blog. I've never said he was stupid, and I find it hard to believe he actually really believes any of the utter irrational garbage there.

Is it because he just wants to have free speech at his blog, even when people disagree with his positions? That's laughable, given his propensity to censor people he disagrees with, to ban critics, and avoid debate with people more capable than Gariepy/Anglin by labeling those potential opponents as insane.

Or is it simply that a sane and empiricist position on covid and the vaccine was a "losing" position for him in Der Movement, and it is more lucrative to just cynically cater to the stupidity of Der Retards and reap the "D'Nations" benefits?

Laugh at this. “Medically raped.” That 100% confirms my previous comments that opposition to vaccination has a psychosexual component centered on the fact that a (phallic) needle is “penetrating” the patient. “The Jew doctor is trying to sodomize me with a covid jab!” Statin pills are, of course, OK. Given that the typical Retard of Der Right looks like John Candy, I suppose that is understandable. After all, you are not getting "medically raped" by a pill.
