My journey home started at the Helsinki airport. I drove from Turku to catch a noon flight, so I left several hours for the usual nonsense at the airport. I had plenty of time as the process of going through security and passport control was fast and efficient. It’s not like the Finns take a bunch of shortcuts. It’s just that the Finns are smart and sensible, so the people staffing the various posts at the airport are smarter than you’re going to find at an American airport. There is a lightness to it that you don’t see in America.
I had read Ed Dutton’s latest book on the flight over and it occurred to me that a good example of his thesis is the airport comparison. The very basic argument he is making is that the West is getting dumber due to selection pressure working against the traits we associate with general intelligence. As a result, the West is getting less capable. If this process is not arrested, collapse is inevitable. We will not have enough smart people to run the systems of the West, so we will retreat into less complex societies.
The Helsinki airport runs like other airports, but it is run by a people with an average IQ over 100. The Baltimore airport, in contrast, uses the same systems, but it is run by people with an 85-IQ. Now, in fairness, the typical Finn is not working security at their airport, so the average IQ of the staff is certainly below the national average. On the other hand, the management layer at the Helsinki airport is probably a full SD smarter than what you’ll find at a typical American airport, with lots of diversity hires at every level.
In other words, the Helsinki airport is like 1950’s America when all of the important positions were manned by people from the majority population and that majority population was smarter than today. Meanwhile, the BWI airport is future America, maybe not too distant future America, where the important positions are staffed by a hodgepodge of whoever washed up here, managed by a significantly dumber white population, with the help of loads of diversity. The future of the West is the TSA on a bad day…
Leaving Russia by train, you pass through a town called Vyborg. It is an old city, probably founded in the 11th century, but no one knows. It has changed hands many times over the centuries. The Finns, Swedes and Russians have taken turns controlling it. Today it belongs to the Russians and is a craphole. The population has rocket high drug and alcohol abuse, along with the social dysfunction to go with it. The point is the same problems ailing the West are showing up in even the remote parts of the world…
On the train from Helsinki to St. Petersburg, a Finnish passenger pointed out the window at an old dilapidated building just outside the city. He said, “That’s where they held Finns who were being sent to Siberia.” By “they” he meant the Bolsheviks. You get the sense that there remains a strong underlying suspicion and hatred of the Russians….
Watching Russian TV, I saw ads for Kazakhstan. They were hilarious. It was like Borat was hired by their chamber of commerce to create the ads…
Riding the train between Finland and Russia, you get to see the border control of both counties in close comparison. The Finns are professional and clearly trained to evaluate each passenger based on their experience. The Russians are just following a procedure, without putting a ton of thought into it. More important, the Russians operate under much tighter rules. Their superiors don’t trust them to do too much thinking on their own, so they have a rule for every condition. Low trust societies need lots of rules…
The collapse of the Russian collusion myth was hilarious, but the aftermath concealed the real damage that has been done. The Europeans follow the lead of the American media, which means they now have the Russian collusion virus. I saw this show on the BBC, which is supposedly about how the Russians secretly influence European elections through control of dissident politics. It’s every bit as nuts as the Russian collusion nonsense and every bit as damaging to the political culture of the continent…
The scars of socialism can still be seen outside Saint Petersburg. The run down housing blocks and abandoned concrete buildings are a reminder of the failure of greatest and most monstrous social engineering experiments in history. Mixed in with those ugly reminders of the past, there are new housing blocks that look like they are built by people, rather than prison guards. There are even housing tracts that are rather stylish, like an eastern version of an American suburb. Russia is still poor, but it is getting better…
I had the pleasure of spending time with Ed Dutton. He is even more eccentric in real life than you see in his video. He is also razor sharp and very witty. He translated a Finnish speech for me in real time, which was like having Rowan Atkinson explain a speech by elves to the denizens of Middle Earth. Of course, we both had been drinking, so that certainly had something to do with it. You learn a lot about an Englishmen after he has had a few drinks. We are very lucky to have Ed Dutton on our team…
The one thing Europeans struggle understanding is what it is like to live in a city like Baltimore. I was chatting with some people, trying to explain to them how Baltimore can have a crime rate 200 times higher than Finland. They were baffled as to why blacks shoot one another over sneakers. I felt like Rutger Hauer at the end of Blade Runner. “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Patrol cars on fire off the shoulder of North Avenue. I watched hoppers glitter in the dark near the Hampsterdam Gate…..”
I’ve always been skeptical of the global white nationalist movement, for the simple reason that what ultimately has defined the West is competition between people. The Chinese are smart, smarter than Europeans, but they could not make the great leap out of the Malthusian trap that happened in Europe. The reason is the Han came to dominate their region long ago, so they put their smarts to work concentrating their domain. The Europeans used their smarts competing against one another to dominate Europe.
You see the residue of the competition everywhere you go in Europe, even in the Nordic countries, which are very close ethnically and culturally. There can be cooperation on a range of interests, but ultimately, that cooperation has to be based on ethnic nationalism, not racial solidarity. The Finns have to want to keep their own lands, before they can cooperate with Italians, who want not keep their own lands. Europeans need to love themselves again, before they can come together to defend Europe…
There was that great old Chesterton line “when you break the big law, you don’t get freeedom and you don’t get anarchy. You get the small laws”. Our institutions run on trust. Take enough away and Mr Entropy comes to visit…and stay.
Today, the 9th, our fellow whites are giving us a big beautiful gift: white group interests will be criminalized. At least an attempt will be made to make it so in congress. Mr. Entropy at the doorstep.
We should do everything we can to drive Nadler and his bum buddies over the line. The more extreme and hysterical they get the better.
It shouldn’t be too hard to antagonize them. These lefties have VERY thin skins. Just start pushing their hot buttons.
We do around here. It is easy. There are simply not enough hours in the day.
…the Russian collusion virus…BBC show about how the Russians secretly influence European elections… Orwell is one of the greatest political psychologists of all time, but his term “doublethink” doesn’t quite capture what’s going on. It’s something more monstrous than that, where a totally and crudely fabricated, self-serving fiction is taken up completely and immediately as reality by the hive mind; if useful, then inserted into history books as a “fact,” but if not useful forgotten as if it never happened. Anybody want to suggest a term? Maybe “Current Reality,” by analogy with “Current Year”? “Nowtruth” ? “Hivetruth” ? “NPC update”… Read more »
Good report. The fascinating thing is how some countries are a bit better insulated from the Globalist subversion transmitting from New York, London, Brussels & Hollywood. Finland & much of Russia will have a better chance at saving themselves since they’ll need to do less De-programming of their citizens out of the Anti-Nationalist xenophilia religion. Still feel a large % of folks in the Anglosphere have gone all-in on a suicidal “better dead than racist” open borders devotion. As you & Frodi discussed, the task facing us is to awaken in our neighbors a new sense of pride, self-preservation, and… Read more »
The fascinating thing is how some countries are a bit better insulated from the Globalist subversion transmitting from New York, London, Brussels & Hollywood. An important aspect is language. Language barriers retard the transmission of poz, especially if it’s a small and obscure language. The Finnish government could ask Zuck to police Finnish Facebook pages, but he’d have to find enough Finnish-speakers willing to do the job, he can’t just hire a bunch of dot-Indians or have some Israeli think tank do it for him. Also, some of the SJW argle-bargle is simply untranslatable. For example, Danish has only one… Read more »
If I say that English will be a dead language in a few hundred years most people would be shocked and disagree vehemently. And yet Latin is effectively a dead language and those people would have been just as surprised to hear that prediction.
I’m pretty sure whatever principles that erode language by popularizing it are the same reasons Protestants are wrong about the good of mass literacy.
The competition in the West won’t be between white people. Now we have to be on the same team in the battle of the West against Team Brown.
What makes trans-European/White solidarity more plausible now is that the planet is simply getting crowded. Nearly 3.5 Billion in wider Asia, & Africa projected to hit 2 Billion. Countries with well defended borders & resistance to emotional manipulation by out-groups will have a viable future.
Places with too much altruism towards foreigners will simply be swept into the dust bin of history. Virtue Signalling to multiculturalism is not just an annoying mind virus. It is a Civilisational Death Wish.
Space colonization is treated with skepticism here, but White Flight to Mars has already creeped out the Guardian.
The academic historians hate the Turner thesis about the end of the frontier. They hate it because he was right.
Space colonization is treated with skepticism here, The idea is morally wrong because we should not flee our homelands for a bunch of barbarians. You might as well suggest that all white people relocate to Antarctica and let the POC have the habitable zones, or go live in mine shafts. Planet Earth is a paradise which we’ll be unable to reproduce anywhere in the universe. We should be discussing White Fight, not White Flight. Also, colonizing space on any meaningful scale, is not viable in this century. The first colonies we’ll build won’t be on Mars either, but in space… Read more »
About Mars: if you sterilized planet Earth with nukes, obliterated every single organic molecule and made the crust radioactive for the next 500 years, Earth would still be a hundred times easier to (re-)colonize than Mars.
Exactly .
The morality of White flight to Mars is irrelevant. Its fundamentally impossible on economic and technological grounds
Its not an option.
The whole “run away to Mars” thing is just stupid.
Do people ever read any goddam history?
You don’t “run away” to a frontier. A frontier is where you EXPORT THE BARBARIANS TO. It’s what the British did with Australia – and it’s what happened in the US as well.
The men who first “settled the West” were not nice men. If you read any in-depth American history you find nefarious characters over and over again.
Excellent point. In reality there is no sizable frontier anywhere, no seasteading, no Rapture, no Mars colony and no part of this good green Earth where you can live unmolested in any comfort The few areas that are mostly uninhabited are that way for damned good reason, lack of water, lack of arable land , awful climate Few live there because few can and fewer want too. In the end the only option is removing foreigners from your soil by force, making sure your economy supports your people , conserving your resources , preserving your culture and living in a… Read more »
When people say “run away to Mars” – I know instantly I’m dealing with a person who pays no attention to reality. Spend any time at all in nature – or spend your time building a shelter of any form – and you’ll quickly find that the parasites move in very quickly to take residence. When animals dig burrows – other animals kill them to take the already constructed shelter. Build yourself a house – and mice, rats, raccoons, bats, squirrels, mice, and bugs – all figure out pretty quickly that your house is a better place to live –… Read more »

I’ve said for a long time now that whites are about to undergo one of the great evolutionary squeezes in history. If whites are around in 200 years (and I think we will be), it’ll be a very different group. The tribalism that was bred out of so many of us over 1,000 years will be back. Non-tribal whites will disappear either through miscegenation or not producing children.
Either way, our altruistic, virtue-signalling white neighbors and family members will not have white descendants.
Astute comment! The very traits that enabled European and European-origin countries to achieve greatness now contribute to their downfall when applied to clannish, tribalistic outsiders. Surviving white descendants, if they exist at all, will have racial attitudes that will shock present day whites.
Losing our clannish ways and trusting non-relatives allowed NW Europeans to form much larger entities whether they be disciplined armies or business organizations. It also made us smarter. That combination allowed us to conquer the world. Tribal groups and less trusting societies didn’t stand a chance, especially once the industrial revolution got rolling. But times change. What were once strengths have become weakness. Nature is one cruel bitch. She doesn’t tolerate weakness. It will be bred out one way or the other. Altruistic, virtue-singling whites are a genetic dead-end. The whites that remain will need to be more than just… Read more »

The good thing about the mainstream system selecting only for loyalty and just trying to meet identity quotas is that the rebellion gets all of the really smart people. Really stop to think about the human capital difference between someone our rulers deem good (Ta-Nehisi Coates) and someone they kick out of the mainstream (John Derbyshire). No amount of resources can compensate for their fundamental deficiencies. An old man in a Yugo will win a race against a sixteen-year old in a Lamborghini, if it’s that kid’s first car and he’s drunk.
I had an interesting experience (at least to me) this week. The bug out home well went out; it hadn’t been maintained in decades and isn’t even officially on the books that are kept on such things. I hired a local firm that had been doing this sort of work in the area forever, a multi-generational extended family business. The two (white) younger guys came out with this fancy crane equipped truck and did all the work in a few hours, basically replacing and refurbishing everything, and patiently explaining why they did things the way they did. We delved into… Read more »
Yep…watch for that galvanic corrosion. Don’t forget the sacrificial anodes. Good story and glad the well is up and running again. Our HOA just lost the intake/outflow pipe to tank due to galvanic corrosion blowout. The dopies had not placed sacrificial anodes on pipe. I have water distribution, water quality and treatment background (might come in handy in our new settlements) yet when I asked the HOA water master for info and suggested anodes, he blew me off. This problem will happen again. Unfortunately, can tell that some, not all, guys get their fur fluffed when dealing with a women… Read more »
I recently had to replace the drain in my bathroom sink, where the brass-elbow attached to the cast-iron-stack [there was a hole in the cast-iron part]; should I put a zinc anode in there?? do I attach it to the iron part or the brass part?? inside the pipe, or good enough to put it on the outside?
thanks
Disclaimer: My skills were moving water around and treating to potable water. Am just dangerous enough to know what corrosion is and anodes are. Am ignorant enough to know I can’t assume…because it will make an ass of you and me! The corrosion control lads were down the hall. They deal with the 3 big aquaducts to the East Bay and district pipe of multi kind. They talked me though my copper pipes corroding to leaks below my cement garage floor. That problem was a bitch! So…Yes….this is a big fat guesstimate…zinc…..to iron that is already sacrificing ions…outside.. see third… Read more »
I am used to going on line and fixing things myself. But working around the edges of the well, I realized that the system is complex and the elements are very interdependent, and that the best layout and repair are site-specific. So, time to call in the experts. Big picture, it is a bit troubling to think that something as important and challenging as a public water supply might be dependent on hiring under racial/gender/age profiling, rather than IQ and skill sets. Our HOA disconnected their water irrigation system to the easement on our lot, and everything died. We rigged… Read more »
Ugly story about HOA nazis! And yes my smarty pants high IQ distribution boss hated with a passion all the management meetings, engineering money wasting projects and dealing with lower IQ people running things and throwing their weight around.
Love to fine those guys, any conscientious smart workmen. There seem to be few around my area—and it has little to do with race. Whites have been as bad as non-whites with an exception now and then. Recently I’m in another home, previously owned, about 25 years old. Just about everything I take a look to has been done haphazardly and incorrectly, and of course is failing or failed. Repair folk called in have not been useful in fixing such. At this point I do most repairs/replacement myself without even considering outside service. Of course, I’m not getting younger and… Read more »
Compsci, IMO there is way too much shopping on price and availability, and not on the quality of the work. When the culture is atomized, the old referral networks fall away. People also don’t like to wait for the work to be done, when the true craftsmen are often booked up for a while.
You see the residue of the competition everywhere you go in Europe, even in the Nordic countries, which are very close ethnically and culturally.
I once spoke to an Australian guy who had worked in Stockholm back in the eighties, when there was a Russian submarine scare. At one point after work hours, three of his colleagues had discussed the possibility of building a Swedish nuke.
“But who would you nuke?” he asked, a bit daftly.
The Swedes gave him a stone sober stare. “Copenhagen”, they replied as one.
“Europeans need to love themselves again, before they can come together to defend Europe…” I disagree. It’s not love we need, it’s forgiveness. Like Germany, every Western nation has a list of historical crimes against humanity. But we must defend the fact that our generation and our children’s generation, are not responsible for the actions of our Nation’s past. I know no German of my generation who ordered a Jew into a concentration camp, just as your American readers have never owned a slave. We, and all Western Nations, must stand together and say, “We do not accept the guilt… Read more »
It’s not just that people are getting dumber, it is that the majority of people now identify themselves as ‘smart’ or ‘very smart’ and if they don’t say it out loud probably secretly think they are geniuses.

I’ve been noticing for years that no matter what the question is and who the recipient of the question is the phrase “I don’t know” has disappeared from people’s vocabulary.

I’ve seen it myself too. Thing is, at least from my experience, people don’t like being told “I don’t know.” As if it’s something that reflects poorly upon you if you say that. “What do you mean you don’t know!?” It’s as if they are demanding that I lie and spout bullshit…

We all like to think that we can direct things. We like to think we are the great men of history wrestling it in this or that direction. That isn’t true. White identity in Europe is inevitable because Europe is America a couple generations ago. Western European nations are on track to have no dominant ethnicity by mid century. While, yes, a large chunk of that will be African and Muslims invaders, the schengen area has worked. Brits will be a minority but whites will still be a large percentage of the UK.

“The one thing Europeans struggle understanding is what it is like to live in a city like Baltimore.” Well, they are beginning to catch on now. I’ve met quite a few Englishmen who have turned their backs on their home country because they are convinced it will never come back.

I would imagine that by now you would need to be a fairly stupid/evil Frenchman not to understand what kind… Read more »
Those ” Englishmen” are cowards for deserting their country, I wouldn’t trust ’em one bit.
Most Western countries are over if you look at the right stats and are in a certain mood but again there are causes to be positive in most of these countries. It would be foolish to write off any Western country-including England. I’m sure some of our countries will fall but it’s imbecilic to claim to know the future especially when it comes to any of the Anglophone countries.
The ones I know are older and just tired of the struggle. Many are from London neighborhoods that have been completely destroyed by minorities. In essence, the world they grew up in was purposely destroyed right in front of their eyes. They have no loyalty to a government that stood around and either cheered on the process, or looked the other way.
You mean like ours?
“You mean like ours?”
Yes.
A government that fails to protect the rights of it’s people, no longer has the right to govern them. When people realize their government is not there to protect their interests, it’s time to move on. As is the case with the UK, many have realized the UK government is not about “the people” but protecting banks and corporations to whatever ends. It’s why so many have left the UK for other destinations.
Yet I went shopping to a Tesco superstore (like Walmart) in northern England today and saw one non white amongst the hundreds of shoppers, fine flee London but England is ours you can’t fight from abroad.
“…in northern England…”
How nice for “northern England”. But it’s only a matter of time before the “vibrancy” reaches that area.
You should visit downtown Leicester some time. You’ll get the full multi-culti show there, complete with traditional garb and lingo.
No it is not.
Man that blade runner analogy is so on the money . In my experience, the most pozzed people in the world are whites who live completely removed from real world enrichment .
they soak in the propaganda and have no real world experience to counter it . travel to Oregon or northern Michigan and they have no concept of the realities of urban life. They honestly believe that we just all need to be nice (unspoken: like them ) and everything will be just fine. It is especially bad in upper middle class suburbs .
People are very generous about “migrants” and “socialism” when other people have to pick up the economic and cultural tab, and not them.
The coming BWI dysfunction is key. The more dysfunctional the society, the less authority the elites and their minions have. Life is still pretty good for most middle class and up whites in the United States, but it will get worse. As it does, whites will see less and less reason to tow the line. In addition, the government and corporations will have a harder and harder time enforcing rules because they won’t have capable foot soldiers. As society becomes even more (yes, it’s possible) openly anti-white, dysfunctional and unable to clamp down on dissidents, our opportunities will grow. What… Read more »
Vox Day makes the same point about ethnic nationalism in Europe, that it precludes White Nationalism. However, in the US ethnic identity is weak among Whites, and Whites as a whole are under attack by leftist radicals. The radicals do not distinguish Italians from Finns. That combination makes White Nationalism possible in the US.
Sometimes an identity can be imposed on disparate groups by an outsider who sees them all as the same.
While I acknowledge that broad white ethnocentrism is weak, I find hope in the broad ethnocentrism among hispanics and blacks. They have similar internal ethnic divisions to whites. However, they are bound together by the feeling that they are oppressed by whites and this gives them a group identity.
Similarly, when whites discover they are hated because they are white, not because they are Dutch or Italian, I hope that this will nurture a broad white ethnocentrism.
“That combination makes White Nationalism possible in the US.” Wrong. And it has only partly to due with blood lines, vestigial cultural tradition, etc. It is dead on arrival because of the stink of the name itself. It is already claimed by a failed movement from the 80s/90s full of basically, losers. It can be WN in ‘spirit’ but only those with no concept of the current year objective reality we live in would choose that name because it is auto-aborting by nature. It mystifies me why people continue to use this cyanide laced ideology. Again, internally it is ‘white… Read more »

Interesting observations. But while we’re on the topic of “selection pressures” who wants to open the monogamy can of worms? The Booby does, that’s who. Pack and herd animals do not typically practice monogamy. Males have the greatest diversity and divergences in intelligence, ability, and adaptability. Stats show males dominating both the high and low ends of the bell curve, while females bunch up in the mediocre middle. A lot of males are born to be cannon fodder, or to be thrown into the meat-grinder, not to reproduce. Encouraging each of the low functioning males to find a wife and… Read more »
The truth of the matter is that we subsidize the low functioning.

Remove welfare and a whole host of problems “go away”. Welfare was a concept of White Europeans, and could only work among themselves, i.e., a high trust society with similar social/cultural values. It was extended to the main minority population, Blacks, as a form of Danegeld, but the line could not hold against the influx of other non-white minorities not sharing the majority population’s values and abilities. But I’m preaching to the choir here.
Every complex society has some welfare. Such systems were ubiquitous in the Middle Ages and that was a time in which there was work for almost everyone at some point This happens simply because of economies of scale, efficiency and over population. Machines make wages lower faster than they can make prices lower Now if you don’t mind epidemic disease, famine constant lawlessness and banditry along with a teeming mass of people willing to throw in with whichever elite is willing to feed them, be my guest and get rid of welfare Your best case scenario of no welfare is… Read more »

Indeed. Oil companies can’t do what they did 20 years ago. Boeing’s planes are now dropping out of the sky due to organisational failures.
Common ground. Yes, it would be preferable if we could persuade others to see with clear eyes the consequences of our current slide into cultural suicide. In theory, this awakening could lead to political change and redirection toward sane public policies. A lot less pain if this scenario plays out; but then, what if it doesn’t?

Building communities is never a bad idea. Let’s assume that we continue on this multi-culti path to a Brazil-like finish, i.e. no colony collapse, no civil war, no partition, just crappiness.
Those communities will still be useful for your white group in general and will have given you in particular connections and relationships that make life worth living. And that’s the scenario where those communities are least useful.
Or it could become South Africa where the whites are facing the very real prospect of extermination. Also, during the 1930s, the Jews and Gypsies remained tight knit communities right up to the gates of the concentration camps. There is no safety in numbers when a tyranny gets up to full steam.
Well, no one can protect a group that doesn’t fight back. At the moment, that’s us. We’ll see if we ever grow a pair. We can’t say that history didn’t warn us.

You know what they say; the jews who were pessimists got the hell out of Dodge; those who were optimists wound up walking into a death camp.
As for the white’s in South Africa they are in the same situation as were the jews in Hitler’s Germany or White Russians in Bolshevik Russia.
The idea of White Nationalism doesn’t travel well. The men in the old American White Movement came up with the concept in order to address the situation in the United States, where traditional ethnic influences and family lines are vestigial or non existent.
Those who, by luck or design, have maintained their biological ethnicity for a few generations in North America will find out in a hurry that they aren’t considered to be Polish or whatever if they ever return to the Home Country. That’s true with Anglo Americans returning to England, where there is no real language barrier.
Fundamentally I think we’ll end up going back to localism. White Americans are too internally genetically diverse – for example, I’m about 25% British, 25% Northern European, 25% Eastern European, 23% “broadly european” and 1% West African (if you’ve got a poor white southern ancestor, this is a pretty high likelihood for you as well). We’re too mixed up. So the only thing that can happen is that new identities will be forged over the course of the next 5-10 generations depending on what happens with the geopolitical situation in the USA. I’m hoping for a soft landing and amicable… Read more »

The run down housing blocks and abandoned concrete buildings are a reminder of the failure of greatest and most monstrous social engineering experiments in history.” Despite this fact “educated” individuals still promote and encourage the adoption of socialism. It’s as if the facts don’t matter. And the proof that socialism ALWAYS leads to disaster was also demonstrated in all of communist Eastern Europe – 8 other nations. East Germany vs West Germany; N.Korea vs S.Korea; Mao’s China vs today’s authoritarian-quasi-capitalist China; pre-Castro-Cuba vs Castro Cuba; all provide real world… Read more »
I cant remember who made the observation, but the Soviets had the worlds greatest 1940s economy… in 1980.
The Soviet Union was Bangladesh – with intercontinental missiles and nuclear weapons.
JohnTyler, we rode the train to Berlin in ‘85, it closely resembled a third world refugee train, the DDR visa inspectors were like Hollywood Nazis, and the whole experience was batshit crazy.
And you hit the nail on the head, the pursuit of socialism is not about facts. It is all about emotions and feeelunnz.
Funny you should speak of your train ride. On my way to W.Berlin that summer 1977 I took the train. The ticket collector was accompanied by two machine gun wielding stasi/nazi goons. The ticket guy was not nice nor polite; a real nazi asshole. In W.Berlin I visited checkpoint Charlie ; it was just like you see in the movies. Nope, John Le Carre did not show up, unless he was in disguise. Saw all the sentry posts – all on the E.Berlin side of course- occupied by machine gun toting Stasi/Nazis. Stayed with a couple of (professional – as… Read more »
Back then, those “college students” could be paid by one side of the other. Resourceful ones double dipped from both sides.
To most of the Western professional class, that forms our opinion-makers, they don’t have an identity deeper than liberalism. Most populist movements promote a “national liberalism” that only made sense in a 19th century context of liberal Britain versus reactionary Habsburg.
Challenging the liberal system has to go farther than voting politicians out, it means voting out priests, professors, businessmen and consumerism. The left tells us that “representation matters”. The Right must take its representation. Our land. Our People.
These travelogues have been a lot of fun and very informative but we are expecting a podcast this week!
White Americans need to start building a sense of group solidarity by helping one another in a daily basis and in time of need. After a crisis white men always voluntarily come to the rescue helping anyone who needs it. That needs to stop. Somehow Whites need to first help Whites as every other group first helps its own.
Unfortunately, most whites love to hate other Whites and this includes the dissident right.
Yup.
How to White Nationalism
Fact or Conspiracy: QANON has not posted anything during the period that ZMan has been indisposed with his travel. It just struck me today. However, QANON does have some long lapses between posts. Just an odd thought.
Ahh…thank you for the Blade Runner reference: I am going to sit in a night time rainy open market and eat a bowl of pho.
I’ve said this before about dutton’s thesis, but I do not think Americans are getting drastically dummer than earlier generations. I’ll admit that there probably is an iq decrement, but it’s small and most likely due to ingression of bad genes than to thermodynamic decay in the absence of selection pressure. American functionality is going down due to expansion of immigration and mixing of bloodlines, but I think most importantly a decay of standards. I think education is being sabotaged to make low iq groups appear “equal” and to encourage race mixing. There are still good educations to be had… Read more »
Ed Dutton recently popped-into my awareness, via YouTube, I believe. The Commies haven’t yet completely shut down our ability to communicate.
“I felt like Rutger Hauer at the end of Blade Runner. …”
I’m dying, LOL!
Can you explain to a desultory reader why you live in Baltimore or, if there’s an absolute need for you to be in that area, why you don’t move to Roland Park, or further out, e.g., Ruxton or Catonsville?
Better yet Annapolis – where I’m from! Pretty safe here.
I was just there a week ago for the opening of an exhibit at the Hammond Harwood House on Maryland Ave. Yeah, it’s a great place. That’s what I can’t figure out. Why does Zman choose to live in a place that makes him miserable?
Kyle Korver, a white NBA athlete, comes out against the evils of white supremacy and privilege.

The tide is turning. The People are against you. Let me tell you that white women are in for Mr. Korver’s
Hi Tiny Duck!
Our long time troll is back.
Tom, you mean a White player in a 90% Black league is virtue signaling? Who’d have thunk it. 🙂 Feel free to post again when you have more interesting *news* for the group.
