February Grab Bag

Maybe it is just me, but there seems to be an edge to everything of late, like everyone is a little more mad about things than normal. I feel it in myself, which is why I have decided to decouple from the news entirely next week. I suspect it has something to do with the Jusse Smollett story. Not in a direct way, as no one is surprised by the result. Well, the media is pretending to be surprised, but no one else. This is one of those events where there is the above the waterline story and a below the waterline story.

The above the waterline part is the fact that everyone knew it was a hoax and the people in charge bothered to acknowledge it. Usually these hoaxes get broomed and the only people following them are the weirdos who cater to the woke Dirt People. Without Steve Sailer, no one would know about Haven Monahan. Heck, most people still don’t get the reference or they have forgotten it, along with the whole story. That’s how good the media is at controlling the minds of most Americans. Propaganda works.

The below the waterline story is that Smollett is going to get away with it. Some BoomerCons will wave around this petty charge as vindication, like they are doing with Trump’s fake wall declaration, but people on our side know better. If it had been two white guys attacking a black, they would be facing life in prison. This clown, who cost the city millions and perpetuated this blood libel against whites, will end up with probation and a boost in his career. Notice he has not been fired from his job yet.

A growing anger is the price for people becoming aware of what’s happening to them, but it makes for a tense environment. A lot of CivNats are slowly realizing they have been conned, duped by people they trusted. This is not America, at least not the America with laws, rules and equal justicet. We’re a lot closer to where the Russians were 40 years ago than where America was 40 years ago. That’s both scary and infuriating, but that’s inevitable as our people wake up from the American Dream.

This week I have the usual variety of items in the now standard format. Spreaker has the full show. I am up on Google Play now, so the Android commies can take me along when out disrespecting the country. I am on iTunes, which means the Apple Nazis can listen to me on their Hitler phones. The anarchists can catch me on iHeart Radio. YouTube also has the full podcast. Of course, there is a download link below. I have been de-platformed by Spotify, because they feared I was poisoning the minds of their Millennial customers.

I don’t feel so bad now. Even the rock steady, unflappable Z Man sometimes loses his patience with these people, and gets angry! HAR HAR HAR! You are absolutely right about Leftist running the game, and how idiots will play and lose every time. That was me, for years. Then one day the game wasn’t fun anymore. The lefties won, and I left the playground to go do something else. I don’t have cable TV, I have no subscriptions to the mass media, and when they waggle that stick and make to throw it – I just say ‘No thanks… Read more »

Carl, correct. We’ve run out of distance. I used to be of the same mind as Glen. Living in AZ and looking at CA, I used to think “sucks being you”, but then they moved here. Now it sucks being me. 2020 elections are likely to turn the State blue (it’s now purple at best). You can buy time—perhaps even until you die—but they’ll follow you wherever you go, if for no other reason than to escape the shitholes they’ve created.

Those are rigged events. All of those cucks are poseurs exploiting the fact that a liberal can pretend being a conservative, a conservative cannot pretend to be liberal. It’s how they keep playing failure theater and getting invited to all the gayest clubs in DC.

Any right-winger who isn’t fake eventually figures out that this asymmetry, the inherently skewed signaling game, is how republics actually work. They stop working because they can’t keep everyone fooled indefinitely. The solution to this is to become an empire.

I don’t believe women who go to the media, but don’t go to the police. (I presume they are outright lying or misrepresenting the facts)

Hey, you can deliver a beat-down on a “conservative” in Sproul Plaza at UC Berkeley, have it broadcast on TV, and still get away scot-free. “Conservatives” don’t fight back evidently. The GOP is the “Pussy Party.”

You would think by now “tense” would = “Mag-dump.” Instead the Left violently steamrolls their “opposition” with the overt sanction of the State apparatus. And most of the attackers are WHITE for Crissakes.

The media gaslit society into thinking there is a “Neo-Nazi” threat, which for members of older cohorts stirs recollections of the 90s “militia threat” and OKC.

Many of us have this strange idea that Trump should have boldly endorsed the Proud Boys. As if they are ignorant of the polling data post-Charlottesville and the openly voiced coup threat from the Joint Chiefs.

The “Right” of the West post-1945, outside of the extreme margins, is entirely bourgeois (and classical liberal, and thus not of the Right in my personal opinion). They seek peace, material well-being, career advancement, and respectability (from society, whose norms are mainly provided by our elite overlords) above all. The Left has their energizing myth of the egalitarian heaven on earth they’re going to build, the “Right” wants to go shopping. In my opinion, the only true, and at least temporarily successful in modern times (I’m thinking of Europe in the interwar years) Right have been non-bourgeois (at least the… Read more »

Loved the bit on Owning the Libs. It’s an amazing smack to a Lib’s face when you simply reject their morality. They’re left defenseless and shaken. Normies are stunned as well. It’s never dawned on them (just as it didn’t dawn on me for far too long) that they don’t have to play the left’s game. The Left needs the us to play along. They’re not happy alone. They’re only happy when they can prove their moral superiority over Bad Whites. If Bad Whites don’t show up to play, the left has nothing. This is a seed that will help… Read more »

It’s an amazing smack to a Lib’s face when you simply reject their morality.

These days, one of my favourite phrases is “what’s wrong with being a racist?” Regressives are convinced there are racists lurking under every couch, but when you say “Yeah, I’m a racist, deal with it” they are stunned to silence. Like a puppy that finally catches his own tail and then have no idea what to do next.

Yeah, I do that as well, especially if it’s just me and a Lib. It’s a bit tougher when there’s normies around. I have to soften things up for their sensitive ears. Sometimes, I go with attacking the Prog but stating the truth and telling them that “racist” is a coward’s word but used by wimps to bully people. That’s pretty popular with normies who know it to be true and are getting tired of getting pushed around by soy boy Leftists. But when I admit the truth, I love to attack the stupidity of not being a racist. “Everybody… Read more »

Well, to be fair, I suspect it’s easier to get away with this in Denmark; the regressives are not violent, they still pay lip service to free speech and resolving differences peacefully, and racism doesn’t carry quite the same stigma. Another good line from Taylor is this: “I prefer my own children to those of my neighbour. It doesn’t mean I hate all other children.” And Muhammed Ali – eloquently – said much the same in this epic interview: the BBC audience laugh like retarded children at Ali’s ebonics and his based logic, and the host laughs along with them.… Read more »

My employer moved from the middle of NJ to a crappy city right across the river from NYC in return for big tax breaks. Shortened the CEO’s commute, made everyone else’s terrible.

I despise everyone involved in the Amazon story. NY has horrible taxes and regulations – partly to raise money, but mainly to keep upstart peasants under control. So they gladly will forgo those taxes for a big corporation that lines up perfectly with their own feudal values. They will just crush the workers with personnel taxes. It’s all a show. Anyone searching for a place to grow their own business would end up in a place like New Hampshire, Florida, or Texas. But the urban Ivy League types who run GE and Amazon don’t want to live in those kinds… Read more »

I think the whole issue with Bari Weiss and the Neo cons and all the other flavors of Jewish people is they have an ancient visceral hate of Christendom. So that includes white Americans, Russian Nationalist, fascist, the Nazis and 100 other groups that has popped up over the last couple thousand years. And it’s why they’re cool with the Muslims even though they pray 5 times a day to kill them. It’s completely irrational but like you said after the revolution it’s not going to matter.

Allow me to connect some dots. The survival instinct is ancient and very strong. In our modern period of extreme affluence, US society carries a lot of dead-weight. Hence, Xirl science is an anointed means of earning a living for those in the dead-weight category (even the stupid have a survival imperative). This is a double negative in that the dead-weight is not being purged (as fitness selection would otherwise dictate), and conversely it incentivizes the persistence of stupidity. What happens when society can no longer afford to incentivize stupidity or the accumulation of dead-weight?

“Jud Suss” is based on the true story of Süß Oppenheimer, a court Jew who helped finance the Duke’s ambitions but was put to death for sleeping with a Christian woman (the movie, incidentally, was made by Veit Harlan, the uncle of the woman who married the Jewish director Stanley Kubrick). Jewish historians like Fritz Stern have always been candid (if not always honest) about the Jewish role in financing Europe’s wars.

To underscore Z’s point about liberal hypocrisy: Years ago, I was impressed when conservatives argued that the leftists were the real racists/sexists. Like I did, cons must ask themselves why these arguments have proven so ineffective.

As Z pointed out, it is because the left’s primary goal is overthrowing traditional white America. If a conservative shows their argument to be hypocritical, they don’t care. Their only question is, “Did this argument further damage my enemy?”

Once you accept this, you see that they are not people who make sincere arguments but people who want to see our heads on spikes.
