Mediocrity Chic: Party At Bari’s

Contrary to most opinion, a society’s ruling class attains its position by being cleverer and more determined than the rest of society. The first generation to rise to the top of society and establish itself as a ruling class, or at least an important faction of the ruling class, earned their way to the position. They may not be smarter or more virtuous, but their combination of talents is what put them at the top. Luck played a role, but otherwise, they earned their way into the position.

Decay is a feature of the universe. Even black holes lose mass over time, a process known as “Hawking Radiation.” The first generation to set themselves up at the top of a new order are more ruthless and intelligent than the rest of society. The generations that come after them are another matter. Decay sets in with the subsequent generations, as positions of power are taken up by people who did nothing to attain their position, other than have the right parents.

An example of this process is in this story about a Manhattan book party for the New York Times columnist Bari Weiss. According to the Jerusalem Post, Weiss is one of the 50 most influential Jews. In fact, they have her listed as number seven, which would qualifier as being something of a super Jew. The veracity of such a claim is disputable, but Mx. Weiss is no doubt an influential person among the ruling elite. She is treated as an opinion setter and spokesman for her generation of elites.

Mx. Weiss is also remarkably mediocre. In fact, mediocre in this case is probably a slander against the honestly mediocre. She was famously outfoxed by YouTube personality Joe Rogan, a man who spends his free time smoking weed, taking blows to the head and watching cartoons. She went on his show repeating Zionist talking points, but proved incapable of explaining any of what she was saying. She was revealed to be a dingbat with no grasp of the basics.

The fact that this was not disqualifying is a sign that the Jewish ruling elite of today is a significant downgrade from those who made the last century the Jewish century. Further proof of this is the fact that people still pretend she is an intellectual. Her participation in the entirely synthetic Intellectual Dark Web is a sad commentary on the decline of Jewish intellectuals in America. If the Tribe is counting on people like Weiss to lead them, they best have the bug-out bags ready.

The career path of Mx. Weiss is what you see in a decaying ruling class. Her reason to have an exalted position in the media is she was willing to slander BDS activists while a college student at Columbia. Her hard work as a skirmisher in that never-ending Bronze Age conflict landed her a spot at the Jewish Forward. Two years later she is at the Wall Street Journal and then a few years later the New York Times. That’s quite remarkable for someone who cannot outwit Joe Rogan.

Of course, Mx. Weiss is not where she is because of her intellect. She is where she is because she can be relied upon to repeat the talking points popular with an ossified ruling elite. She has been assigned to the department charged with repeating the blood libel against white Americans with regards to Jews. Her first book, How to Fight Anti-Semitism, is a collection of talking points Max Boot threw away, because he thought they would make him look deranged.

Mx. Weiss is not an outlier. She is just an amusing example of the low-quality harpy that is taking up positions in the ruling class. Her robotic recitation of Zionist talking points makes for good parody, but her lack of intelligence is emblematic of the emergent woke intellectual class. As Steve Sailer recently noted, it is impossible to find a bright and curious person in the woke intellectual class. They are not even clever in how they present the tired dogmas of multiculturalism and intersectionality.

In addition to the overall decline in intelligence of Western society, another factor plays a role in the rise of a dingbat class. The intellectual elite that won their positions in the last century selected proteges who supported their position. They were not selecting people who would challenge their newly won status. Instead, they selected people, who agreed with and extended their opinions and ideas. In short order, flattering the master became the fast track to fame and fortune in the intellectual set.

Half a century ago, Tom Wolfe described the Manhattan intellectual set as bourgeois urbanite poseurs, who decorated their language with radical language in order to affect worldliness and prestige. These were the sorts of people who liked being seen with radicals and terrorists, but lived in safe comfortable neighborhoods, made possible by the sorts of people, who made sure the radicals never won. It was a contrived radicalism to disguise a timid adherence to conventional bourgeois norms.

Today, the heirs of those radicals, lampooned by Wolfe, are bourgeois urbanite poseurs spending their time pretending to be free thinkers and skeptics. They decorate their language with words and phrases borrowed from books they never read, in order to affect erudition and sophistication. Instead of posing as radicals, they pretend to be thoughtful intellectuals questioning elite opinion. It is a contrived intellectualism to decorate banal recitations of managerial class dogma.

That is the most important thing that we can learn from the Left. It’s why they are so determined to stop us from forming communities. Once a white academic or businessman who was fired and shunned from the larger society for Badthink gets a job and a place in our community, the game is over. We will have won.

The most dangerous thing for the Left – and Jews – is a cohesive white community no matter how small. They’ll fight it with everything that they have. But as the Muslims in Europe show, it can be done.

All the other side has is the ability to ostracize and get you fired. They offer nothing. There’s nothing from them that we want. They weapon is getting you fired and having your neighborhoods and “friends” shun you.

But what if you neighbors and friends shared your views. What if your employer shared your views. The other side loses much of its power. Throw in some lawyers who will fight back legally and advocacy groups that will fight back politically and the other side is a paper tiger.

The internet says:

This is 1939, a couple of years before the holocaust started. Note that not all were in German-occupied areas. Large population in Russia for instance. Many fled, many hid, many survived the concentration camps. Do the math.

Not saying it didn’t happen or even that millions didn’t die. Who knows. But the official number is very suspect. And the story of the holocaust is almost certainly more complicated than we’re told.

In my experience, this is fairly unique to the elite portion of the tribe. In the day to day habits of non-elite Jews, they are mostly indistinguishable from the average white even though being a Jew is so important to them. It’s funny because it often seems contrived and a fake identity.

But Jews face a growing number of whites (like us around here) that have realized what’s going on whereas a generation ago, Jews faced almost zero resistance. Indians and Asians are playing their game. Muslims are invading Europe. The Chinese refuse to let Jews do what they did to the West. On top of all that, the Jews facing these… Read more »

Jews remain a formidable people and will be for a long time. (Love them or hate them, you have to be impressed at what they’ve accomplished.) They’ve got a lot of fight left in them. But from ~1945 to ~2015, they were able to wage war on the West with impunity, indeed, as accepted members of a guilt-ridden white community. That’s ending. For the first time in a very long time, they’re facing actual opponents. Granted, those opponents are weak and disorganized, but they exist. And, more importantly, they’ll get stronger and learn. On top of all that, the Jewish… Read more »

The Jews came to rule Egypt in ancient times. Years ago, jewish scholars told us that the name for the jewish rulers in Egypt in this time was something like “shepherd of people”. Later scholars unanimously corrected the record with the real translation, which was “foreign rulers,” a concept we in the west have come to understand. The Egyptian historian Apion wrote about Jewish rule over Egypt (after which, the Egyptians vowed, Never Again! in all ironies) and, what do you know, it comes to be that all of his writings have been destroyed.

The Romans were first to Invade the World Invite the World. When they destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD there were already 250,000 Jews in Rome. The young single men then went to the commercial center of the empire and, without an alternative, mated with Roman women. So began the Ashkanazi, and they didn’t call that assimilation.

Wherever there is peace and prosperity, the Jews will certainly follow. They’re drawn like a magnet to prosperity. And after a period of time, the formerly peaceful and prosperous people of the nation will be at each others’ throats. Such is the influence of Jews within a nation. And the Jews the entire time will have their own set-aside separate culture for Jews only. The Jews would never allow for a powerful Christian subset within their own country, with Christian courts, laws and culture to be respected and codified as separate within a sovereign nation. No way.

They ju-jitsu-ed a horrible WW2 outcome for them (a rather predictable one, in the basics if not the particulars, given all that came before in Europe and Russia in the prior decades) into 60-some years of an immunity against any sort of criticism. Muslim moves (arguably counterproductive for the Muslims despite the rousing brazenness of their actions), like the Munich Olympics attack and 9/11, only perpetuated the immunity. Finally, the immunity is mostly gone, despite outfits like the ADL working to reintroduce Anne Frank’s diary back into the educational system to refresh the game.

Jews focus on a couple of big things:

1. Make societies (except Israel) multi-everything so they don’t stick out and no group can muster the resources of the entire society against them
2. Prohibit criticism of minorities so Jews can’t be criticized
3. Demand lax immigration by every country because you never know when the Jews will need to pick and run – and, who knows, maybe Israel won’t be around

It makes sense . . . for Jews. Now, why people buy into their ridiculous schtick is another question.

Civic nationalism worked somewhat in the 1950s when the US population was 90% White, assimilation was expected, immigration was low and WWII unified the nation. There also was a mass exodus into the suburbs so people of different European ethnicities lived in the same neighborhoods, attended the same schools and churches, and made friends and intermarried with each other. Doesn’t work anymore.

You lose, that’s what.”

Civic Nationalism:
1. Import millions of people from historically dysfunctional nations until the demographic balance of the nation is radically changed.
2. ??
3. Mass assimilation to the American national creed!

“The fact that this was not disqualifying is a sign that the Jewish ruling elite of today is a significant downgrade from those who made the last century the Jewish century. Further proof of this is the fact that people still pretend she is an intellectual. Her participation in the entirely synthetic Intellectual Dark Web is a sad commentary on the decline of Jewish intellectuals in America. If the Tribe is counting on people like Weiss to lead them, they best have the bug-out bags ready.” You have frequently pointed out Jews once were the most successful ethnic group. The… Read more »

Laughter is so much more powerful than demonstrations of anger. Anger can be responded to with anger right back. There is no response to laughter, other than to face it and take it, or to slink away. Now, if the target’s Praetorian Guard is right there waiting to go, that’s another story altogether, and that seems to be the emerging strategy on their side.

How I would love to see a whoopee cushion smuggled into the Senate chambers right now.

Tee Hee! Me too. So visual. Wish a ripper would catch Bugman Schiff offguard. My Basic Husband dismays that he never met a woman like me to convulse with laughter so easily over simple fart jokes. Or a kid farting or the dog farts. What can I say!

Thanks…..you’re appealing to my baser nature, and it’s working. Still laughing! This SOB would grab my guns in a blink, yet I will still double up laughing when he pulls the finger…I mean pulls the tyranny face.

Laughter and mockery versus anger and violence.

Depends on the battlefield conditions. Comedy, rhetoric, mockery, the art of persuasion fine until the enemy advances too far, at which point it becomes necessary to apply anger and violence. Your left is weakening. Your right begins to yield. The center can not hold. Situation excellent! I attack!

I wasn’t an anti- Semite. The reasons to become that grow as the players’ list is revealed. They produce their own demise and doom. Interfering in the lives of normal people is their official playbook. They will lose like they always have. It’s almost as if they really don’t want “never again.” They fail to understand that what goes around comes around.

“The first generation to rise to the top of society and establish itself as a ruling class, or at least an important faction of the ruling class, earned their way to the position.” Z, I tend to agree with most of what you write. But I think it is disingenuous to claim that the initial ruling class must have “earned” that position. The ruling class from which the current progenity sprung, obtained their position through deception and subversion. Should we equate aggressive, sociopathic ambition with hard work when it’s devoid of all integrity and injurious to others? I don’t believe… Read more »

You are conflating Z’s :Initial ruling class” with “The ruling class from which the current progenity sprung”

They are obviously not the same: none of the founders spawned the current crop.

Why do you do this?
Stupidity?
Deliberate deceit?

“conventional bourgeois norms” – If that doesn’t hit the nail on the head. Sinclair Lewis wrote a book called “Babbitt” that coined the term that seems to fit these people. It’s certainly not the first time a set of social conformity’s and dogma’s was passed off as intellectualism but this is blatantly anti-intellectual as well. I’ve never seen these people win a rational argument yet they adhere to their beliefs as if they were absolutes. This would be entertaining if they weren’t so close to power and seeking it to shove their garbage down everyone else’s throat.

Well throw that one out the window as we go forward. The radicals are going to win soon.
And then what for the elite?

In sum this decay of our elite is a microcosm of the meme on strong men making good times making weak men making bad times. I think it’s worthy to note that prior elites or elites in waiting would have used demonstrated a greater wisdom in choosing an outlet to hawk their book. Joe Rogan though all the things you allude too is a wild card with an audience that has some crossover with our thing. The smart thing to do is to do is what Marantz did and make an appearance on NPR and go unchallenged . The whole… Read more »

An animal population, particularly an isolated one, only survives for as long as its mutational load remains at manageable levels, ones that don’t inhibit their ability to perform their basic functions (eat, drink, reproduce). When times get lean, or the load gets too heavy, the population gets winnowed out pretty quickly such that those with high mutational load die out and only those who were actively fit remain. Assuming, of course, the problem is not so long-run that the entire population winds up on the chopping block. If Weiss is an average indicator of the Elite’s ideological mutational load, then… Read more »

This Bari girl says she grew up in Squirrel Hill, which is basically Pittsburgh’s Urbanite Utopia. The fact she had the chutzpah on Rogan to claim that ‘Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood’ was based on *squirrel hill* of all places just floored me. For starters, Fred Rogers grew up in Latrobe, PA, a community to the west of Pittsburgh, and it is a *much* better fit for the friendly small-town neighborhood as presented in his show (for the most part). Stop the cultural appropriation, Bari!

I’m amazed that even here people aren’t honest. Everyone, anonymous or not, dances around the Jew thing like kryptomite. They don’t like you, never will.

So wake the fuck up, before you’re dead, or you’re kids are slaves….these motherfuckers are evil and they own and run the show.

Carthago delenda est. They could never win by force so they honed their abstract art of subversion. Read the Decline and Fall by Gibbon. It’s a long read but you’ll have so many epiphanies, you’ll likely vomit repeatedly in disgust. If you don’t have that much patience, Cesar and Christ by Will Durant and Against Apion by our friend Flavius Josephus should suffice. A brief synopsis: they took down Egypt and Rome with their tried and true methods of treachery. I’ll let the Egyptian historian Manetho tell the story of the invasion by Nomadic shepherds know as the (((Hyksos))) “There… Read more »

I have been listening to this drivel in chunks as I have time. The whole bit about how anti-semite is baked into our culture is completely unchallenged by Rogan.

“You might want to learn from Israel and the Jews….”

So you’re saying we should bamboozle and guilt-trip a vastly wealthier, more productive and more powerful nation to send us billions in direct aid annually, plus spend its treasure and lives fighting our enemies in otherwise pointless wars while our co-ethnoreligionists rot that nation from within?

Sounds like a brilliant plan for a plucky little ethnostate. But to whom can the USA turn? The Martians? The time-dwarfs of Zeta Reticuli?
