AmRen Diary Part III

On Friday night, Jared Taylor took to the podium to welcome everyone, but also remind everyone that the protesters would be out in force on Saturday. His order was to ignore them and avoid engaging with them. A local judge had ruled that the protesters had a right to harass the people at the facility and come inside to use the facilities. That meant it was possible the protesters would try to bust in and disrupt things. As a result, the park police were deployed inside as well as outside in an effort to maintain order.

From what I was told by one of the cops, the previous events had avoided all of this by putting the protesters on a hill well away from the facility. That way they could be easily contained by the park police and easily ignored by everyone else. The judge, a liberal for sure, did not like that so she came up with a plan in the hopes of creating a violent confrontation. It is a helpful reminder that the rent-a-nuts we see at these things are paid for by the ruling class. In a sane society, Antifa would not exist.

Despite the best efforts of our rulers, Antifa was more entertainment than political statement. The conference people stayed inside and largely ignored them. The young people could not avoid pulling out their cell phones and taking pics of the circus through the windows. Then they started taking selfies with the circus in the background. The scene had the feel of a futuristic zoo, where people get to view the humans who came out of the factory with serious flaws. It is hard not to laugh at this stuff.

The twitter feed of the mentally disturbed women where I got that tweet is useful, when thinking about groups like Antifa. Pretty much everything she tweeted about the day did not happen. There were no gun shots or confrontations. It was just a few hours of a freak show, where bizarrely dressed people and septuagenarian hippies danced around in the parking lot. It was a hot day and most of them ran out of steam by mid-afternoon. The whole thing was so silly, I suspect even some of the protesters felt ridiculous.

For Lacy MacAuley though, the thirst for violence is all consuming. This story about her trip to Turkey and this story about getting beat by Turks are good examples. This is a person who hates herself and hopes for nothing more than a violent denouement to her otherwise pointless existence. That’s probably true of almost all of these people. They self-mutilate and dress like clowns because they seek to degrade themselves. Almost all of them smoke and by the looks of it, I’m guessing, many use street drugs to excess.

Watching the freaks dance, as they tried to take photos of everyone inside, I noticed that it was a girl thing. There were extremely ugly old women, wearing shirts with feminist slogans. There were a few younger women, dressed in what used to be the uniform of the skateboard punk. The young ones clearly were the ones hoping for some ultra-violence, like the stupid girl Damigo decked at Berkeley. And of course, there was a tranny. This one was maybe six foot tall, with half its head shaved and the other side died bright yellow.

This reminded me of how David Horowitz described the Weathermen. In the late sixties and early seventies, the normal white males had either left or were pushed aside in radical politics. Instead, it was blacks and white women. In both cases, it was the women who had the greatest thirst for blood. Similarly, the Manson gang’s women were the ones hellbent on murdering people. The American Left has been a feminine movement for at least fifty years and maybe longer. After all, women pushed through Prohibition.

That raises something else that was obvious on Saturday. Antifa is a cargo cult. They think if they ape the aesthetics of the radicals from the past, the past will become the present. Many of the geezers I saw at the protest were just reliving their youth, if they ever stopped living their youth. The younger ones though, they are romantics. They believe the world needs to return to a better time when they were the radicals and people cared about their issues. Antifa and the other Progressive rent-a-mobs are the death rattle of the Left.

Oswald Spengler wrote about this phenomenon. A culture, like a person, is born, lives and then it dies. Like a person, it’s youth is a chaotic becoming, while its maturing is what it became. It’s death is romanticizing what it was and then, it is gone. That’s the American Left now. It is a thing for old people and young romantics, but the death certificate has been filled out with everything but the date. The radical culture that was born in the 60’s and flourished for two generations is about to expire.

One final thought on this. I was standing in front of the big glass windows watching the Antifa loonies, when I turned and looked at the young AmRen guys taking pics and selfies, laughing and enjoying themselves. On one side of the glass were grotesquely out of shape people in grubby clothes, smoking and gesticulating. On the other were young men in suits, well groomed and composed. It was one of those times when you can stand on the timeline of your life and see the past and the future at the same time.

Unlike feminist women, I’m a woman who loves men. I love my son, son-in-law, my six grandsons. BUT, the one thing that annoys me the most about men, is their misunderstanding of women. So many men think of women of being these weak, overly emotional, sweetly naive, basically harmless creatures. This is a fundamentally flawed mindset. Women can be vicious creatures, vengeful, petty and definitely blood-thirsty. You cannot look for women to behave in the same logical ways you look at things, our brains do not work in that manner. Just because we can be soft, nurturing mothers & caregivers,… Read more »

Why is it that our mothers don’t teach us fuck-all about women? Is it the Sisterhood? Or maybe they are preoccupied with de-barbarizing us, but still. I didn’t get a proper schooling in women until I drove my daughter and two friends to school each morning for three years, grade 5-7. The society of women is brutal.

Mothers don’t teach their sons about women because they’re afraid to tell them the truth. They silently hope their young man finds a nice young lady who isn’t a f****** psychopath. This is one area where Dad has to intervene. And there’s another reason which is something I’ve been thinking about women lately. An emotionally healthy woman like my amazing wife of 32 years is a font of love for her family. I feel lucky to have experienced this and have given it a great deal of thought as it regards the experiences my late twenties son is having with… Read more »

Younger generations are also burdened by two ideas that set them up for relationship failure: 1) Being happy is the most important thing. 2) It wasn’t meant to be. A person who believes these things cannot be depended upon in matters great or small and is fundamentally unsuited to marriage. At some point or other, there will be unhappiness. Since happiness is the most important thing, this state of affairs is intolerable. Therefore, the relationship must not have been “meant to be.” I had a conversation with a young woman who said that happiness was the most important thing. When… Read more »

Whitney, your remark about not being bad girls is nearly the silliest b.s. I’ve encountered all day. You were not merely bad. In fact, you were deliberately bad, untamed, and lawless. Same as almost every female, esp. when she receives a secular education. There is a potential solution, however, to the perennial problem of female badness, which was noted in ancient times too.

Women differ from men in their violence. When a real threat is perceived, it triggers a state of psychosis, the adrenaline is in the driver’s seat. I believe I have experienced this on more than one occasion.

At least with “conservatives” in the castle like the National Review types, they know they’re part of the establishment holding back a resistance. The left is so loony that even when they have the high-ground, they look down from the battlements and think the peasants down below are in charge. I was watching Robert Reich’s show “The Resistance Report” the other day and I was thinking, What the hell is a guy who taught at Harvard and Berkeley and wrote for The Atlantic resisting exactly?

“Cargo cult”. Perfect analogy. Should have tried throwing them a few cans of Spam. I generally refer to them as LARP’ers. Remind me of the time we accidentally booked a hotel in Boston in that was HQ for the ComicCon convention in the adjacent convention center. Though the highlight was my son getting up on the second floor balcony and in best Shrek voice, admonishing “all you fairy tale creatures, get outta ma swamp”. They were not amused. Like antifa this dress up thing is apparently very, very serious.

“In both cases, it was the women who had the greatest thirst for blood. Similarly, the Manson gang’s women were the ones hellbent on murdering people.”

I was once told that in the SAS — and this may be true for many special forces — when you are confronted with a man and woman, both armed and with deadly intent, you shoot the woman first. The male will often surrender, but never the female.

I did some research on violence awhile ago, and there were very different evolutionary pressures on men and women in regards to it. Male violence is largely symbolic, as it is about dominance. This is why most battles only result in a few % casualties to each side, even if the battle lasts all day. Women are passive, as they pass on their genes if they submit to whoever wins, no matter which side. BUT… if they are faced with a real threat they go mad-dog and can’t surrender. This is why self-defense trainers wear those silly padded suits when… Read more »

Antifa is a smoke screen, a diversion from the real insurgency. When the attack on America happens they and the rest of the SJW movement will tie down LEO assets while the critical infrastructure is attacked by the trained revolutionary fighters inside the US (100,000s). It will start w/a computer attack and instantly move to kinetic action on a national scale

The Antifa crowd is what you get when natural selection is perverted by long-term affluence and the demise of real hardship. In its place, we have substituted government grown dependence and the attendant loss of personal dignity. These people can no longer work (or excel) in order to earn their survival; their sole talent is pitching-a-fit and whining.

When I was active in my local Tea Party we had a “volunteer photographer” who documented everything, took pictures of everybody and everything at all of our events and whom I am certain was an FBI agent undercover, based on his behavior, quiet unobtrusive but ever-present demeanor, and so on. He was quite literally always available for us.

Did you get his pic. too, just in case_? Pics of the informant doing his documentation work might have provided useful material in a borderline entrapment* court case. At least as long as the ‘rule of law’ sorta lasts. One big danger in provocation from the agency side is their agents’ getting a little too enthusiastic about putting another pelt on the wall, crossing the line over into the entrapment* zone and blowing the case on that basis (if the defendant has a good lawyer and there is some evidence in his favor). You’ll notice that the accusation of entrapment… Read more »

Bill Ayers would berate Weather Underground males that poor Bernadine Dohrn was having to perform the lion’s share of bombings, and that they needed to up their game. Her fingerprints discovered at the scene of the bombing which murdered San Francisco PD Sgt. Brian McDonnell via hundreds of inch-long fencing staples to the body and head would appear to corroborate Billy’s complaint, and Z-man’s thesis.

Excellent observations as always. I wonder if they (the Antifa leftists) know their “certificate” is all but filled out. I reckon they don’t. That’s the way denial works.

But what role will they play in society when the racket has run its course?

Will they just disperse and find other things to do? Or will the anger linger on?

They’ll try to go Alt-Right. These people have nothing else but being on the (socially acceptable) Radical Fringe; it’s their entire identity. For most of the 20th century, that meant being on the Left. But the pendulum is swinging, and soon the Radical Fringe will be out on the Right. Today’s SJW is tomorrow’s obergruppenfuhrer.

I think that among WASPs (yes old term) in America individualism is very strong. There is a lot of research that indicates a tendency towards individualism versus collectivism is genetic. This may explain why a white identity movement is coming so late in the game – WASPs are not by nature “joiners” with strangers. Blacks can see any other black and go “we black!” even if they never met. Whites not so much – whites tend to only join others they know well.

First things first. Build infrastructure, then use it to push the counter culture. The infrastructure that already exists is entrenched and based on ideas and technologies that are obsolete. Best to bypass it rather than try and repeat what the left did ala Gramsci.
The new infrastructure includes platforms like this but must extend to news, education, secure communications, and most importantly, finance and law. We need networks to securely fund projects without outside interference and we need radical lawyers to back us up until we are in charge.
