A mistake often made when analyzing the actions of the left is to assume everything they do is driven by some master plan. For example, there is a touch of conspiracy mongering in all the George Soros stuff. While he is an evil person, much of what he finances is unknown to him. Left-wing activism is full of scammers attracted to the free flow of cash. More important, it is a bug lamp for the mentally unstable, whose activism is based on pure instinct. They do not think about what they are doing.
The attack on Tucker Carlson’s house is a great example. That is the sort of escalation that a subversive mastermind would not approve. The reason is the left is far more vulnerable to this sort of thing than the gentry conservatives. Progressive enclaves are made up to look like 1950’s America with a limited police presence and no surveillance cameras. Then there is the fact that the ever-so-slightly to the right talking heads all live in progressive enclaves. All their neighbors are barking at the moon lefties.
Now, the people responsible for the “action” against Carlson were certainly just acting on a whim. The people financing them are similarly acting from emotion, rather than strategic thinking. They feel like they are doing something, and they somewhat envy the people who get involved in street activism. A major part of the Antifa performance is exactly that, a performance. It is aimed at the bourgeois bohemians who write checks to operations like the Antifa operation, One People’s Project.
This has always been a part of radical activism in the United States, at least since the 1960’s with the rise of the New Left. Read the biographies of people like David Horowitz or histories of groups like the Weathermen, and two things always shine through. One is the activists were often seeking attention from their parents. These were kids raised in bourgeois opulence, but desperate for attention. That is the thing that turns up over and over in 60’s radicalism. Most of it was just an effort to scandalize their parents.
Then there is the fact that almost all of it was financed by middle and upper middle-class people. Radicalism in America is a bourgeois enterprise. People often get this confused, thinking that the left is just a bunch of hypocrites. After all, the most liberal places on earth are the wealthiest. Today, all the politically active billionaires are throwing their money into causes that claim to oppose neoliberal capitalism. George Soros is a billionaire, yet he pours money into groups that swear they are going to murder the rich.
Even if you put aside the puerile emotionalism of what is going on with the left, the general plunge into lawlessness is far worse for them than it is for the dissidents. The rules, as currently written, are designed to protect the left. Antifa gets police protection at riots, because the cops know the dissidents would tear the spaghetti armed Antifa boys to shreds, if given the chance. Everywhere you look the system is rigged to protect the left and make it difficult for dissidents to mount a challenge.
A big part of that is keeping middle-class whites thinking they must follow the rules, because that is who they are. By convincing white people that they must scrupulously follow the rules, the left maintains an institutional advantage. If whites come to think the rules are for suckers, because the game is rigged by their enemies, the left loses its most important advantage. Put another way, if the cops decide they do not have to follow orders to protect the left-wing rioters, we will see our final left-wing riot.
If the left were really controlled by a super villain, as the talk radio type of conservative insists, they would not be promoting lawlessness. The people in charge always benefit the most from order. This is an iron law of life. That was obvious in communist countries, where the revolutionary leaders quickly turned into stone-faced defenders of order once they assumed control. The radicalism of today is entirely self-defeating, as it a top-down assault on that which keeps the radicals in power. It is suicidal.
One possible reason is Continental radicalism was always material in nature. The communists believed their system, if implemented, would result in plenty. Once in power, they needed order so they could figure out how to make their system work. Before long, order became an end in itself, as it provided plenty for the ruling party and insulated them from the masses. The Bolsheviks became an ugly, delusional version of that which they replaced. Their materialism ultimately made them into conservatives.
In America, radicalism has always been spiritual. The Puritan notions of salvation, coupled with an outsider’s hatred of the majority population, has made for a radicalism that can never be satisfied with control. The point of the march through the institutions was not simply to replace the WASP ruling class. It was to gain the high ground in a never-ending war on the white majority. The war on whiteness is an all-consuming reason to exist. If it takes destroying everything to get whitey, then our radical rulers will blow up the world.
Imagine for a moment a counter factual 20th-century China — one where China retained relative parity with the West, where the Opium Wars and the Unequal Treaties and the Tai-pings never happened, where the Japanese never invaded, where a reasonable guy like Sun Yat-sen stayed in power and nobody ever heard of Mao or Marx or their crackpot theories. So, imagine you’re just a regular Chinese schmo just getting along with his Chinese life in China. But somehow, despite all reasonable indicators to the contrary, you can’t help noticing the whole country is going to hell. China is in massive… Read more »
No, not at all. It would be very ((( familiar ))).
Again, without whitey there’s no civilization, and with whitey there’s no Viva la revolución. The “left”, it seems, is willing to give up civilization. They have no idea what bringing electricity, sewer, water, gas, and all the accruements entails. Furthermore, they are unaware that it’s not only whitey that brings these delights to their front door, but it’s that evil of all evils, the white male that provides. They have to know at some level because they uproot from their hipster paradises with the quirky bars and walkable communities and move out to crackerville the moment their children are born.… Read more »
I shop at a big Sprouts health food grocery store. They have these grocery bags of food at checkout. They ask you if you want to buy a bag of food for our “local families in need”. If you do, they ring a loud bell and people around clap. I’m in SoCal. The bag of food is going to the brown side of town to feed illegal aliens and encourages more to come. Next time the cashier asks me I’m tempted to say, “Are they white?” Her: “Is what white, the bread?” Me: “No, the families.”
We need a “Week Without Whitey” general strike.
“We” need it? They need it. Good and hard.
Frip: I ocassionally shop at Sprouts–mostly because the fruit at Trader Joe’s is aweful. The constant hectoring of shoppers at check-out to “Give to This” and “Give to That” is an annoyance and an imposition. At Walgreen’s shoppers are assured that a portion of their hard-earned dollar will go to vaccinate imporverished children (i.e., not your children). The managers “running” these retailers apparently never have to go shopping at their own stores.
This happened to me. I said ‘F— No, they need to move somewhere else if they can’t afford to feed themselves.’ The cashier looked at me stupefied and just finished the transaction.
I’m brown.
So as a brown man, what do you think happens once whites are all in mass graves? Just curious.
Over the last eighteen months I have experimented living ‘sans’ credit card; I pay cash for everything, often working through my pocket for the correct change. I’ve noticed a rapid decline in requests for ‘special collections’, usually appended to credit or bank-card transactions. It’s like when you pay cash for stuff, the simple-minded girls working the cash registers see only the actual money, not some digital addition to your bill; they react to cash as a “flash of golden fire”; hand them a fifty – never mind a hundred – and they become tongue-tied and confused; it’s almost erotic. Requests… Read more »
“Requests to take money from you, paying in cash, vanish.” That works because you broke the script that they had been trained for. Mass retailing does not look for the best and brighest behind the register. They look for smart enough to run the machine, dumb enough not to get bored and become surly to the customer. But breaking the script works in many places. Trouble call to your ISP. Tell them right up front that you have a laptop connected directly to their gateway box. There will be a long pause. Get stopped by a PoPo. When he is… Read more »
I like that idea – I may try it.I already live the Debit Card lifestyle. Seldom use a Credit Card, mainly for the occasional unexpected expense (medical, car repair). I pay off the card immediately, before it’s due. Honestly, at the moment, using my credit cards is so seldom needed, I generally leave them at home. I didn’t reach this point quickly – there were a lot of years when I white-knuckled it from paycheck to almost-time-for-paycheck. As soon as I had a small amount of breathing room, I set up some savings to handle small emergencies. And, I made… Read more »
That’s why liquidation of the subversives…that is, you and me… are high on their list. It is not a matter of controlling the chaos; it is a matter of seeding some elements of it in order to maximize the conditions that will lead to it. Who knows where the next David Hogg or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will spawn from? But the conditions for them to spawn were part of the overall movement that was seeded by actors such as Soros and the like in the first place. The liquidation plan is probably already in place by the Deep State. It is… Read more »
I believe resistance by the right hasn’t grown because nobody wants the pushback and immediate suspension of rights and means of self defense that will happen. People won’t want their actions to be fuel for a crackdown, as they will be hated by the right and the left. However if those rights are curtailed via proclamation as a pre-emptive move by the leftists after obtaining complete political power, then at that moment there will be nothing to lose except ones life, and I feel a great many leftists and their families will become regular targets of murder and assassination, and… Read more »
They don’t have to liquidate us. Just grab our savings and 401Ks (it’s a TEMPORARY glitch!), and install some nasty little “guests” in our houses – it’s a TEMPORARY emergency – you wouldn’t want them to be HOMELESS, would you? Guilt the wifey and kids to get you to agree to bringing in JUST a homeless mother and ONE child. Then, after they’re installed, the boyfriend/pimp moves in, with his drug operation. You’ll use the basement/garage for YOUR family, and like it. Still paying the mortgage, of course. And, to be fair, your family feels safer when they’re located at… Read more »
The elites want to provoke the right into a riot so they can crack down with martial law on everyone, including the stupid lackey they use to do stuff like this on the left. I don’t know how well that would work in execution, but that is the plan. They want to come up with a way to become a permanent ruling class through government force.
Earlier this year I watched the Netflix series “Narcos”. Although the series is based on actual events – I believe they do take some license with certain details. The series is interesting – because it makes the point pretty clearly that while Pablo Escobar was running around unchecked, people were dying left and right. When Search Bloc, Los Pepes, and the other various anti-communist para-militaries all started really going after the drug cartels and communists …. the violence finally settled down. Cartel members and commies kept turning up dead, and eventually there were none left – because……….. they were dead.… Read more »
Remeber Bernie Goetz? He took things into his own hands and simultaneously became a hero and a scapegoat. It took another ten years 1984-1994 for Giuliani to become mayor of New York and start to clean things up.
Tax Slave: Yes, Bernie Goetz. And also, Son of Sam. Those bad times in the city hit my family personally, with the loss of my grandfather to a mugger The mugger got 5 years for Manslaughter, because the elderly witnesses were too fearful to testify and NYC was too broke to pursue Murder 1.
Many Goetz’s doing their magic across the country on the same day would prolly have an amazing effect.
Remember the #1 rule.
Leave no witnesses.
When I hear, as in the Portland incident with Antifa attacking old people in their cars and the police being seen gathered nearby doing nothing,not to mention the same thing in Berserkley, et. al,, how long will it be before the police become the target for their inactivity/refusal to protect the citizens/criminal collusion? How long until someone decides that since they side with the criminals that they deserve the same response? When they start getting ambushed? When *their* families start having ‘incidents’? Unlike the young, rootless Antifa members, a lot of LEOs have families and live in working-class or middle-class… Read more »
The oligarchs are, effectively, an insular ruling class an they are cracking down on the right without even such an excuse. Z is right about many of the worst actors being instinct driven, but that instinct isn’t a holiness spiral. It’s often a calculated attack made by someone with imperfect information. I don’t believe it’s a mistake for the left to so fully intimidate the right if their goal is to win 2020 and slam the shackles around the neck of the white American remnant. They demoralized the right immensely when Trump essentially declined to defend his most strident supporter… Read more »
That’s looking to be Trump’s greatest flaw, starting with General Flynn: not protecting his own people, be they part of his Administration or his base. Results in snakes taking the place of loyalists, and the base dissolving.
Indeed, Trump had better wake up to the fact that he hasn’t done anything for his base, and he hasn’t done anything about vote fraud, or his days are numbered.
Trump greatest flaw as a politician is not understanding that he needs to show loyalty. He wants people to be loyal to him without showing loyalty in return.
Maybe. But I don’t see them brawling in Indianapolis, Dallas Panama City, Kansas City… the places where Antifa would get the hell kicked out of them by red-staters.
Too lazy to get out to flyover country? Too smart or too chicken?
They don’t need to become a permanent ruling class through government force. They are already a permanent ruling class through brown, black and moslems at the ballot box. We just haven’t accepted it yet. Hey, I’m a Trump supporter but we just lost the House. How? How is there so many idiots voting for commies, socialists, moslems, homos, wife beaters, rapists and thieves yet Trump won? Now they’re even trying to turn white women against white men thereby splitting the “majority/minority” even further. And guess what? It’s working! All one needs do is watch the commercials on TV and the… Read more »
You know it’s an obvious agenda when even my husband – sigh, an old liberal – notices it.
In fact, he’s been the one pointing it out for the last year or so.
This explains why they push race buttons so hard; they want an explicitly ‘racial’ reaction. They spit on us, laugh at us, insult us, on Twitter, in the NYT, on CNN, etc. We lose either way: If we smile and refuse to engage, we are pathetic and weak, and get more of the abuse; if we crack, and react along the racial line they themselves have drawn, then we “prove” that racism is alive and flourishing. The cops will arrest us, the cucks will condemn us, the tech oligarchy will expunge us, and – what is saddest of all –… Read more »
Not for me. I may be a weak and old woman, but I’m NOT ready to just give up. I realized that my aging body will not be “on the line” – too old and tired, I’d slow them down.
But. I write, blog, give money, and am working on losing weight and developing muscle – not enough to be a soldier, but sufficient to tag along for the fight.
As for my help, I’ve gotten a ham license, and am working on developing my skill set. An army always has to have communications, don’t they?
The growth of Progressivism is a symptom of our decline. It exists largely because there is no antidote in society to cure this defect. As such, it will only grow worse over time. LEOs are now complicit in the destruction that Progressives cause rather than a remedy. As an example, the Spygate coverup is about to succeed and all the DOJ/FBI/CIA culprits will get a pass for numerous Class I felonies by persons in a position of trust. This means that we are in the terminal phase of disintegration. The Good Guys are wisely remaining on the sidelines for now… Read more »
“LEOs are now complicit in the destruction that Progressives cause rather than a remedy.” Yeah, yesterday I wondered in a comment thread here about how to redpill those guys, but when you look at the police in England, how they carry out the will of the totalitarian left establishment, and how they’re in on the anarcho-tyranny injustice, pozz, and just general socio-moral perversity, it’s really very depressing indeed.
LEOs are paramilitary and personnel are selected based upon reliability under command (they really can’t function otherwise). Many hate being misused by their political masters, but it’s a job and they will get fired if they disobey. The Progressive cancer corrupts everything it touches.
When the pensions go bust, it will be interesting, since that’s why most LEOs do what they do…
Good point. If they don’t get paid, expect them to look for another employer. Which, if we husband our cash wisely, could be us.
“By convincing white people that they have to scrupulously follow the rules, the Left maintains an institutional advantage.” – I’ve seen this first hand with healthcare. All of these middle class and upper middle class white people angry that they HAVE TO PAY these massive health insurance premiums and get no healthcare from them. Okay, why are you paying them? Seriously, the Congress even took away the penalty to pay them. The only good thing they did last year. Even when there was a penalty for two years, I would have taken it. I’ve known immigrants from Eastern Europe who… Read more »
I would have liked to have seen Tucker’s wife come out the front door with a 12 gauge, blasting away if the crowd refused to leave.
Much much better that she should have come outside unarmed and gotten red pilling video of the thug left abusing nice white ladies in their own homes.
The left would applaud it. So no that woukd not be better.
The left went into damage control mode, claiming that Tucker was lying about the an-com mob trying to break in. They were especially triggered that the DC police referred to it as a “hate crime”. Normally an-coms are rather disciplined, as they have “advisers” from the leftist National Lawyers Guild that limit them to misdemeanor vandalism, at most. Breaking and entering is a felony, which represents an escalation.
Walking up to the front door is trespassing. Never mind the the beating on the door.
One of the first things that popped into my mind when I saw the videos of that incident was: why the hell do you have a house so close to the street?
Tucker needs to move – to a place where the house isn’t so close to the damn street that it’s a simple skip up to his front door.
Tucker is a yankee. They live close to the street. Amerikaners live ensconced in their property. This is one of those “all whites are different” things
He’s a city boy, he grew up in Studio City, CA, Like most homes in Los Angeles area, they are very close to the street.
IOW that’s normal for him.
When you compare the development of Chinese and Western civilizations, which have roughly equal parity with respect to pre-Science Age technology, political organization, cultural ambition, and philosophy, you see certain structural similarities and differences. For instance, in both cases there was the central reality of the Empire: the key weird difference was that the Roman Empire was based around a central sea with a peripheral land-mass on all sides, whereas the Chinese Empire was a solid land-mass with peripheral and not-very-important coasts. Makes a difference. Both of them had a weird foreign religion that took over a big chunk of… Read more »
It’s all explained here:

Yeah, but as I pointed out before, mongol/Manchus in the east and Viking/goths in the west were relatively high iq to the populations they barbarized. So although there was a temporary setback and calamity, in the long term civilization was genetically strengthened. The third world masses being let in by Europe and the US are not only lower in iq, they’ve never created sustainable first world civilizations anywhere. That’s the important difference. The Mongols and Vikings were actually militarily superior to the people they conquered(at the time). Squatemalans could not confront the US military had we the spiritual will to… Read more »
No matter how race realist you people pretend to be, you won’t ever seem to understand what it really means.
“Winning”, which for the winner means “living”.
Broke: Trump is our Pinochet.
Woke: Trump is our Gorbachev – a pragmatist who tried to save a dysfunctional, sclerotic, doomed system with a package of reforms that were ultimately too little, too late.
Damn. That is a truth punch right there not that I though Trump was Pinochet .
A hotelier isn’t that kind of guy, you need the crazy of an artist or the ruthlessness of a soldier or both.
Here’s a thought experiment: like Gorbachev, Trump has made continual concessions to his enemies (the Republicans, and those they actually represent), for which he has been provided nothing in return. At the end of their incompetent rules, their peoples’ suffering massively worsened, as a collapse into a long state of chaos, of horrendous poverty, violence, misery, unchecked oligarchic looting, et al resulted. They both evidently had a similar valuation of walls. The one tore down a wall that had protected Eastern Europe from the West’s positively deadly late-stage individualist democratic-capitalist mind-virus (which has kept East Europe relatively healthy to this… Read more »
I appreciate that the Zman probably gets more than his share of, shall we say, “enthusiastic” correspondence about the Illuminati and lizard people. But reading today’s column, I think he may be letting that color his thinking. Just yesterday we have a column that includes mention of the well organized, well funded election stealing taking place on multiple fronts. An operation involving parallel efforts of local operatives, the media, the national Democratic party, affiliated lawyers, etc, etc. Today we have a column that starts out by admonishing those who would think such things are the result of certain individuals and… Read more »
The “progressive narrative” isn’t even a narrative anymore. Narrative implies a story, a goal, an ‘Oz’.
Now it’s just “we rule, you obey”.
Pretty boring as narratives go. Still, you have to wonder if the Cold War was a pyrrhic victory; Khrushchev bragged “we will bury you”. As a Russian he was wrong; as a communist, well, he may still be right.
In this essay, more than most here, I agree with half the assertions and reasoning and question the other half. I question whether Lefty leaders would really disapprove of chaos as a tactic against their enemies, so long as they themselves are in congenial surroundings. Similarly for this: “Even if you put aside the puerile emotionalism of what’s going on with the Left, the general plunge into lawlessness is far worse for them than it is for the dissidents.” “The point of the march through the institutions was not simply to replace the WASP ruling class.” I’m not sure there… Read more »
Agreed on the protection of rioting Antifas. The cops know that the thugs are in league with very expensive lawyers, who will shred the LEO’s careers if they step in against the Antifas.
Your unrelated aphorism is ‘Hanlon’s Razor.’
>> “The people in charge always benefit the most from order.” Well, only if they have to stay in the place where they create disorder. In South Africa, for example, a lot of the people who promoted the end of apartheid simply did a runner when things started to go bad. Those people are doing fine now. The native whites were left to face genocide alone. One suspects that George Soros will not lack for a place to go if America goes kablooey. I suspect that’s part of the fun for sociopath globalists, finding new luxury mountaintops to live on… Read more »
The White man, being human, has sinned, as has every other demographic group. He has oppressed the weak, as has every other demographic group.

But that’s where the similarities end. What the other demographic groups have not done is invent the rule of law, individual rights and universal suffrage; vaccines, antibiotics and anesthesia; indoor plumbing and electricity on demand; planes, trains and automobiles; the printing press, telegraph, telephone, radio, phonograph, copiers, computers and… Read more »
The case has been made that white man is “evil” precisely because of his ingenuity; his relentless energy and progressive urge has reshaped the world in a way that is unnatural. White man gives us nation states in continents like Africa where the ‘nation-state’ is incomprehensible to tribal peoples; White man gives us medicines that disrupt the natural cycle of life in primitive societies, where the life expectancy is 35, yielding chaos in time-hewn social structures; White man builds nuclear reactors – and nuclear-tipped ICBMs – in total disregard of the opinions, thoughts and emotions of ‘lesser breeds without the… Read more »
These people aren’t confident of their power. That’s why they encourage chaos. They can’t just order Tucker Carlson arrested. The bad guys have, in a disorganized way, tremendous power, but people can still defy them openly and walk free. They couldn’t even dictate who got elected president in 2016. The NRA exists and collects dues. Millions of Americans own Nuclear Grade Militaristical Assault Clips complete with Shoulder Thing. And pickup trucks!
Within the law, they can’t do much about any of that, at least not right now.
Also, you can forgive them for thinking whitey will never wake up.

Ancoms (anarcho-communists) what is colloquially referred to as Antifa (which should not be used) are mainly a reactive (QRF) group, rather than a “hunter-killer” group. In their own imaginations, they act as “community self-defense” against far-right demonstrations. On their own turf, they enjoy some sympathy from the elected District Attorneys, judges and potential jury nullification. These activities would attract more scrutiny in a rural conservative area. The federal DOJ is compromised, and cannot afford to appear “soft on the nazis”.
Their ability and willingness to engage in “search and destroy” is mostly limited to online doxxing. Otherwise they leave this to the better funded ADL and SPLC, that along with law enforcement can afford to recruit informants. Gavin’s Boys can avoid most legal trouble by simply holding unannounced private events on someone’s private property in a rural area. But that means not getting to play victim.
Do not underestimate the lethality of Antifa. See the article at American Thinker about the demise of Richard Morrisett if you think they are not playing keeps.
The communists have been active in this nation from the 1920s. I’d argue that their ancestors were active in New England in the 1850s, seeking to create a earthy paradise that required a strong central government. Make no mistake, a war is approaching rapidly. We no longer have shared values. We no longer speak the same language. The social fabric has been destroyed so we see girls in men’s rooms, women killing their children and state sponsored discrimination. We are told that queers are worthy of respect. We are told to embrace them, and transgenders, and the 89 other genders.… Read more »

While it may be true that people in charge always benefit the most from order, it’s also true that sowing chaos can be used as a weapon in the internal power struggle among the people in charge. After all, that’s what the Chinese Cultural Revolution was essentially about, if I have understood it correctly. After the disastrous Great Leap Forward Mao Tse-Tung’s authority was greatly reduced, and riling up the young fanatics to attack the old power structure was a way for him to get rid of his rivals in the ruling class. Now, the whole Cultural Revolution business got… Read more »
The middle class wouldn’t have done as well as it did in the 1950s and 60’s had the elites not been scared to death of Communism in that era. The middle class was bribed with tract homes and new cars to be perfectly obedient, and they were. It wasn’t a given in the 1950’s elite opinion that capitalism would win. They even gave air time to their puppet, William Buckley to do his schtick. But when the John Birch society came around, oh, no, that wasn’t acceptable to them.
The difference between Maoist lunacy in China and present-day lunacy in America is that Mao was Chinese, and his enemies, guys like Deng and Lin Biao, were also… Chinese. And despite the Marxist-Leninist theoretical pretensions, they were all fighting, as is always the case, over which team of Chinese people were going to have control over the other Chinese people in China.

Got to see the forest for the trees, Z. Yes, the left is spontaneously organized rather than hierarchical; opportunistic rather than conspiratorial. Right-wingers project their own preferences onto the left, just as left-wingers do to the right. But this type of organization does not equate to randomness. It is not the same as having no strategy. Islamism is organized the same way, and it has been very effective at achieving its goals. All it requires is fanatical devotion to an ideology and tolerance from the host society. The left seems amorphous if you try to drill down, but that’s not… Read more »

“I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.”
Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, and Brendan Behan are three of the foremost dramatists and legendary comedians/wits of the English-speaking past century. Their contributions to the English art of comedy are beyond compare. They all spent a substantial amount of their time living and working in England. If the British Isles were nuked tomorrow, and all evidence of the English language were to be destroyed with the exception of Wilde, Shaw, and Behan, you could reconstitute pretty much the entire English language, using only their work, in a matter of months. Not one of them was an Englishman. Goes to… Read more »

I would say that in some ways, “the Puritan notions of salvation” are what drives the Antifa rabble. Purtians believed in predestination, and they spent a great deal of time and energy in self evaluation, looking for signs of their predestined salvation. In much the same way, leftist losers and nobodies, with nothing more than useless college degree, a twitter account with 5 followers, and a total lack of intellectual capacity, use Antifa larping as a means of detecting signs of progressive salvation in their lives.

I take the opposite opinion. The Puritans believed in limited salvation. It was up to God who was saved. The real busy bodies have always been the Methodists. Always trying to fine tune that perfect moral system that would save people.
Well, I certainly don’t hold myself up as an expert in comparative religion, but an internet search of “Puritan predestination” brings up countless pages about the Calvinist/Puritan views on predestination. So…whatever. On the question of self-examination for signs of salvation, the “predestinationists” (whoever they were) considered it a sin to manufacture signs of salvation, so I don’t want to confuse anyone with my above claim. What these Antifa jackasses are doing, were it translated to the context of the “predestinationists,” would be considered a sin. In the current context it is simply self righteousness and virtue signaling, and it shows… Read more »
The real conspiracy is Not that the Left will *win* – what could that even mean? It is to damn more souls in the spiritual war for evil by creating the kind of society which encourages evil. Leftism is based on, and in pursuit of, net-evil – by means partly of pursuing (ever more partial) specific Goods (kindness, empathy, relief of suffering etc); and partly by encouraging a general atmosphere or envy, spite and fear. But the effect of Leftism goes beyond the self-identified Left. For example, materialism (positivism) absolutely dominates *all* mainstream public/ political discourse – such that life… Read more »
Mr. Charlton…thank you for your blog and thought provoking words. “The ultimate goal of the Global Establishment is spiritual harm”….is here now and growing the death march. By using wealth-power-lust-sadism to appeal to the appetites,etc…the walking evil create Distraction-Addiction-Destruction. The walking evil aren’t above dipping into the aforementioned distractions themselves, although some are like the drug kingpin who never partakes in his wares. From my vantage point this is rarely an “either/or”, often an “either/and” for the ultimate goal of the eating of one’s soul, soul cannibalism. I witnessed the night of the living dead first while working in downtown… Read more »
I think the wealthy Lefties, if they are honest with themselves, know that they have no real solutions to offer with what they profess. But they have this angst, that wealth perhaps has intensified, owing to their wealth not making them any happier, and they just need to do “something”. A monied, powerful primal scream. Which means that outcomes and side effects are not really part of the equation. It’s all about “getting the anger out”. Which goes back to Z-man’s point about the American version of spiritual radicalism vs. the Europeans. The American version is impervious to reason or… Read more »
A mild observation of the 2 revolution rule —
* The first revolution sweeps away the old order, by chaos.
* The second revolution installs the new order, by consolidation.
The street thugs that ushered the first are deemed too troublesome to keep around by the second, excepting a small cadre to do wet work as needed. Even the US did not escape that rule, Revolutionary war was the first, construction and ratification of the USC was the second.
From Grand Hotel Abyss, a somewhat sympathetic account of the Frankfurt School, I learned that nearly all the founders grew up in well-off homes: their fathers were doctors, factory owners, etc. Guilt over that seemed to have been a major driving force.
A couple of points backing up your main theme about the disparate elements of radicalism. In ‘To the Finland Station’ Edmund Wilson engages in literary criticism of a sort of the older histories of the French Revolution that would have been available to Lenin. He makes note of Hippolyte Taine’s determinism having an effect on him searching for a primary mover of the revolution causing him to search for and find conspiracies that may not have been there. Another would have to do with the idea that residua of Puritanism helps drive radicalism. Turns out some of the most radical… Read more »
I agree w the central conjecture here, that this is less centrally controlled by a Bond-like villain than run on emotions and instinct. I think it is more like a flock of birds or school of fish that move in coordinated ways but w/o a leader. How this happens is pretty fascinating, Im not sure anyone knows for sure
As for possible explanations, I think ‘biohistory’ and the ‘r/K selection’ proposals may be on to something.
Modern elites tend to be suicidal. Rousseau spent most of his intellectual life being paid to tell nobles that they stuck and the nobles housed and paid him for the privilege. Of course, a few years later the french revolution happened and they all lost their heads and lifestyle.
He was so influential, Marie Antoinette had a log cabin behind Versailles to live out his back to nature lifestyle.
That’s because the nature of man is to struggle. They’re trying to bring struggle back into their lives. Otherwise it’s just a petty life of being mad at the masseuse because she arrive 15 minutes late.

I have to disagree with one aspect of this analysis. The relatively few people in power are funding the Leftists, in the expectation that THEY will be left strictly alone to pursue their financial aims. Facebook and the other social media giants, along with Google and the information-gathering entities, are siding with the AntiFa with the idea that the Leftists will leave their enterprises alone – for now. It’s about milking the system for some protected money/wealth, and keeping alternative escape destinations for the inevitable end-game. It’s a holding action. If it lasts, well, expect the AntiFa to be slapped… Read more »
There is always somewhere to go from here but this post says it all, zman…
Please explain Soros. You are suggesting what he is not but I don’t know how you know that. The simplest explanation is that he is funding the radicalism because he stands to gain from it. Maybe he delights in the chaos he is causing. Maybe he is an ideologues who wants to hasten a new type of society. Why don’t you think he is a super villain? Your only argument t is that elites love order?
“…an outsider’s hatred of the majority population.”
Hmm, I wonder what kind of “outsider’s hatred” (((Zimmermann))) is talking about here 😂😂😂.
But anyway, it doesn’t matter, does it, (((Zimmermann)))? The problem is not the Jews, it’s Leftwing Jews, right? After all, unlike Muslims, Blacks or Gypsies, Jews should never be trashed collectivelly, specially in racial/ethnic terms and even more specially when you’re a crypto Jew pretending to be White, right (((Zimmermann)))? 😂😂😂
Kindly fuck off.
Well not kindly- simply Fuck. Off.
We’re in a fighting retreat.
We need every soldier- like Horowitz’ “dicoverthenetworks”, or our echo-posters here, fighting the demons in their midst (as do we)–
or our Achilles, the Zman.
I could give a fuck less how “White Right Hub” wants to classify its blogroll. They’re no-talent amateurs who think they have a nifty idea.
An aggregator site, sha-zam zowee.
I’d rather not know any thing about our host- only his ideas.
Florida is the next California.
Arizona, Georgia , Texas, North Carolina are long gone.
Congratulations GOP, the seeds sown by Reagan and Bush are benefiting the Democrats now.
2020 is going to be a Blood Bath.
Astonished that Total White Deaths are projected to exceed White Births by at least 35,000 this year.
GOP is done.
I want to see what 2050 is gonna look like.
When Africans or Mexicans run things, things are run like Africa or Mexico. Then think about both groups competing to run things. Be careful what you work for, you might get it.
Here is a 50 second video that summarizes what to expect when blacks and hispanics are in control. Notice the futile effort of the white boomer to help out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2tGTCDfUAgY
Fenton is probably Tiny Duck BTW , He seems to share a similar very distinct posting “hand” . I do like the new tact though. Its refreshingly gloomy compared to the usual Left wing claptrap. That said Hispanic TFR in the US is below replacement now (2.0) as is Asian . So is the Black and they have a higher morality rate. Areas are also exporting less migrants as general fertility is lower everywhere except in Africa and parts of the Middle East I expect to see some push for the later groups if the Left and its rapacious greedy… Read more »
As a rule in Latin America, the elites were for the most part white, even in countries where whites were a minority, such as Mexico. Imagine what Mexico would be like if the elites were the lower IQ mestizos.
Not smart enough to rise to power. Perpetual pawns… Just like the low IQs in the USA.
Mexico is a solidly 2nd world country, with civilization mostly in-control. Agree that the reason they have electricity, clean water in hotels, telephone/TV/internet, supermarkets, PEMEX, and silver mining are the Spanish-speaking tall/light ethnic German/Spanish men who run the technical and government parts.
Your politics and mine are diametrically opposed but I agree with you. A major reason that your side is winning is due to the stupidity and timidity of Republicans and conservatives like Reagan and Limbaugh. Your side has had a greater insight into human nature, especially racial tribalism, than my side and you have reaped those rewards. But that is changing. I hope we meet in person someday.
What is your side anyway? I’m an omni nationalist with traditionalist leanings. The only reason I’m on the Dissident Right is that movement such as it is took over from the pro American Democrats who would normally get my vote
Those donks are long gone so i’m stuck with the Republicans who have to cater to the country club, neo cons and the religious nutters none of whom I have anything in common with
It will look like the shitholes those peoples ancestors came from.
Maybe Tucker wouldn’t have been “attacked” if he didn’t engage in racism. Ever think of that? I thought you conservatives liked free speech and free assembly? With Whites at a lower percentage of the population in the west, the battle is clearly lost. The resulting scramble of White Nationalist furies in the US is something like Hitler’s last stand, doomed, as the Allies closed in on him (sorry for the bad analogy). New Zealand is probably headed in the same direction as the US. My message to you guys is “You Grandchildren will be Brown.” Leave everything and pray to… Read more »
Uncle Bob thought the same in Zimbabwe. But his people will be taken over by the Chinese, if not the Indians.
high testosterone / low I.Q = Sub Sahara
low testosterone / high I.Q. = China S.E. Asia
low testosterone / low I.Q. = India
high testosterone / high I.Q. = whitey
The booking window is now open. Place your bets.
Everything is rayciss to a communist with an agenda.
Nah JB we’ll just put then in burlap bags & go down to the creek.
then go looking for yours.
