Never Forget

This month was the 40th anniversary of the United States Olympic hockey team beating the Soviets and winning the gold medal. The sports channels have done some segments on it, bringing back some of the young men, who are now old men, to talk about their experiences. Some of the players have shown up with Trump out on the campaign trail. The movie Miracle on Ice, a “fact-based” depiction of what happened with that team is getting replayed on the various services.

The win over the Soviets is one of the greatest upsets in sports history. That’s not an overstatement based in nostalgia or latent patriotism. The Russians were the best hockey team on the planet and it was not close. They had won everything for twenty years and had not lost to the Americans since 1960. They had done a barnstorming tour of the NHL the year before and beat several NHL teams handily. Any team beating them in that Olympics was going to need a miracle.

The Americans, in contrast, were college kids assembled for the tournament. Younger people cannot appreciate this, but at the time there was some national pride in the fact that America relied on amateurs in the Olympics. “The only reason the Russians do so well is they are using professionals” was a common refrain. It had the added benefit of being true. The Soviet bloc countries used full-time athletes, who did nothing other than train for their sport. They were professionals.

To put it in perspective, imagine a college team today beating a team of NHL all-stars or an amateur golfer winning a major tournament. Think of some implausible combination of events in your favorite sport and you have an approximation of the enormity of this upset of the Russians. The American team averaged twenty-two years old. They had played together for a couple of months. The average Russian player had been on the team ten years. It was literally men against boys.

Of course, the reason it still resonates with Americans old enough to remember the event is the cultural and political impact. Carter was still president and the country was in a deep spiritual depression. The nation’s leaders regularly talked about how the good times were over and it was all downhill for America. We were just going to have to get used to be losers. After the disastrous 1960’s and 1970’s, that really did not strike most people as wrong. America had killed itself.

More importantly, there was a sense, promulgated by the Left at the time, that the Soviets were on the winning side of history. Communism was on the advance, while capitalism was on the defense. The number of countries falling under the spell of communism was increasing. The Soviets had just invaded Afghanistan and the Iranians had made a mockery of American power. It is hard to believe it in hindsight, but serious people really did think it was over for America.

I was a boy in that time and I recall my grandfather telling me that I’d surely live long enough to see communism in America. He’d talk about the number of countries that had gone over to that side. He’d point out the nature of the American Left and how it was mostly focused on destroying the white middle-class. He would say, “Communism is a war on the middle, waged by those at the top using us at the bottom.” His opinion was not out of the ordinary for the time.

The Americans beating the Russians and then beating Finland to capture the gold was a transformative event. All of a sudden. everyone had a reason to be proud and more important, be proud in public. It was a great example of the cascading effect. Everyone suddenly realized that lots of other people harbored the same thoughts as they did about the state of things. Those chants of “U-S-A” still bring chills to anyone old enough to have watched that Olympics. It was amazing.

Young people today get mad at old people for hanging onto the old civic nationalism, thinking they are just deliberately obtuse. There is some of that, for sure, but the real magnetic power of civic nationalism is patriotism. The feeling people had in the days following that win over the Russians was the best thing most American had ever experienced as Americans. Everyone was talking about it. “Can you believe we beat the Russians” was said over and over in joyous disbelief.

Those old enough to remember that time and what it was like to feel genuine love of country, should be forgiven for not wanting to close the door on it. There are few things that rival the bliss that comes from genuine national pride. Not only wanting that feeling for yourself, but for your descendants is not unreasonable. Preferring to look back to when such a thing was plausible, rather to a future of angry caterwauling by ungrateful browns, is perfectly understandable.

Old people should not be so quick to condemn the young people for mocking Baby Boomers or criticizing civic nationalism. At the root of that mockery is a bitterness at knowing they can never experience what their ancestors experienced. There will be no miracle on ice for the young. The social capital that made such a thing possible was converted into money and traded away by global capitalism. They have a right to be bitter over what their ancestors bequeathed them.

For those of us young at the time, this anniversary is a reminder of the strange divide in our timelines. One side of the timeline is the before times, when being a patriotic America was exhilarating. Then there is the after times, the now times, when such feelings seem absurd. Looking back over that great divide to this particular event is a strange feeling, because it’s like remembering yourself as a foreigner, living in a strange and foreign land. Your past is now alien to you.

That is the duty of those who have made the journey over the great divide to dissident politics, but still remember when the other side had promise. The America that made possible the miracle on ice had promise. It could have been a great nation. Instead, the people in charge chose to leverage our patriotism, monetize our social capital, so a handful of alien money-changers could turn themselves into potentates. They can never be forgiven for what they have taken from us. Never forget.

The Trump rallies are an example of patriotic Americans trying to recapture that USA!-USA!-USA! spirit. “Make America Great Again” says it all. For a couple of hours, flag-waving, nostalgic Americans get to be among their own, until they leave the arena and are jolted back to the grim reality of our new country. Sometimes with physical assaults.

True maybe

But as the Zman points out, the underdog can win, if the team is focused and the management is good, the odds are stacked against them, but yet they win

Losing a few battles might be good, if it wakes people up and points them in the right direction

The great victories come from everyone pulling in the right direction, and believing that the victory is possible

Last weekend I saw a white man who’s publicly spoken on the JQ become heavyweight champion of the world by beating seven shades of sh*t out of a race-baiting loudmouth with the hardest right hand in the history of boxing. And after it was done he gave all the glory to Jesus Christ, and, for the first time in as long as I can remember actual music had a place in a sporting event (Patsy Cline followed by Don McLean).

It’s hard to describe the rivalry and suspicion between America and Russia back then. Although America’s poz was well started, it seemed to go temporarily dormant with Reagan’s election. For me, personally, it all corresponded with living overseas and examining, for the first time, what made me American and whether it mattered – and why. And despite what in hindsight were limits and corruption, it still felt like a primarily ‘free country’ – in stark contrast to Checkpoint Charlie (which I went through) or Brezhnev’s Soviet Union where I lived for a year.

3g, I had the opportunity to see the Berlin Wall up close and spend a bit of time in East Berlin, back in the early ‘80s. The place was an open-air prison that sucked the life and joy out of anyone unfortunate enough to have had to live there. Things aren’t great here any more in a lot of ways, but back then we knew, right across the wall, what life under the enemy looked like, and the hockey win was a huge “F-you” to that kind of thing.

Well FashGordon your perspective isn’t exactly accurate. In 1980 the conservatives regarded Russia as our most pressing threat. The liberals such as Bernie Sanders wanted to be like Soviet Russia. The liberals like Ted Kennedy ignored or poo-poo’ed the threat for the most part. Today it has reversed. Conservatives don’t regard Putin’s Russia as a threat. The liberals, especially the globalists, do regard Russia as a threat because it has become more conservative and it thumbs its nose at globalism and liberalism. Putin has mocked both out loud. It has embraced traditional values and keeps homosexuality and the whole LBGTQIA… Read more »

It lulls people into a false sense of victory despite nothing actually getting done.

As for birthright citizenship, I have been wondering a lot recently about all those American citizens we’ve been bringing back from China. How many of them are fully Chinese who just happen to have been born in the US?

Apparently, between 40-60,000 per year is the norm for Chinese births in the US. Oddly enough, I haven’t seen any mention of the ethnicity of these “US citizens” in the MSM.

Yes.

Obama was much tougher on immigration than Trump. Deportations were higher and Hillary would likely have continued on the same path.

However, now that Trump ran on immigration specifically and totally failed, the next Democrat president will preside over a deluge.

Winning an election on an issue and then being an incompetent moron means final defeat for our side on that issue. This is why I disagree with the Trumptards that Hillary would have been worse.

IF- big if- Trump’s letting the pot boil to where the frogs get uncomfortable, then a wall *with the ability to apply covering fire* makes sense.

I’ve always been mostly opposed to “the wall,” while being, perhaps, one of the most “radical” immigration restrictionists you ever saw. My “reasoning,” such that it is, is that a wall, without the will or the desire to enforce its main purpose, amounts to no more than an expensive eyesore stretched, from sea to sea, on the Southern landscape; an eyesore that will eventually come down in any case. If you want to post armed sentinels every few yards across its extent to shoot its violators as they come across, then I can at least understand the (flawed) logic behind… Read more »

The wall is useful for both drug interdiction and IA interdiction. All BP personnel will tell you so. Catch and release is the culprit once IA’s are caught.

Last summer, we were in Toronto during Canada Day (I live on the border and we take a trip to Hogtown pretty much once a year. I wore my “TRUMP” inauguration hat all weekend, while downtown among large crowds of people, and not one person knocked it off my head or made a disparaging remark. Frankly, I was shocked. We usually stay in either Mississauga or Markham, and white people are hard to find. How Rob Ford got elected baffles me.

A good place to keep up on Canada from a red pilled perspective is the KMG show on You Tube. Kevin Michael Grace is a Canadian and I enjoy his stuff. Well read and not shallow.

Talking about hockey will allways bring out the Canadians, so here is another one. As a Boomer (b.1956), I have seen how hockey has brought my country together at various times. I still feel great pride in my homeland, especially since I have had the good fortune to have worked in every region of the country. I know what we have lost to the globalists and how the dreams civic nationalism turned into a nightmare of competing ethnicities. At this point I can see that it can only end in tears.

That was one of Ramz’s best videos. He drives through a random town as he narrates and you see the soulless way that buildings are randomly slapped up with no overarching sense of community. Truly depressing.

On a related note, notice how historic downtown areas in both large and small communities have been cleaned up and restored, and how every new shopping area these days is a faux 1920’s downtown? I’m convinced that it’s a subconscious expression of and a yearning for an America those of us born during and after Reagan will never know.

Sometime in the future, when we are on an obvious downward spiral, our overlords are going to try the same thing with our new, multicultural, and vibrant Olympic teams vs The Chinese.

There will be the same flag waving, teary-eyed emotion, and relentless hype. And win or lose, it won’t matter, because the average American will know that being an American is just being the subject of an economic zone.

Great comment! I’ve said, many many times, that a certain level of adversity is a good thing.

Generally speaking, blacks aren’t going to understand or internalize the statement. Adversity for certain races means “badness” all the time.

The USSR was a particularly low point in human social experimentation. Being the lesser of superpower evils didn’t require much. Compared to the Kremlin’s fossil kleptocracy we were the good guys, but the low effort that required was bound to give muh West a moral beer gut over time – like picking Larry the Cable Guy for a workout buddy.

The world was completely different in another way as well. The game was not shown live on television. It was a Friday, and the broadcast was delayed to get a bigger audience. I heard the result on the radio on my way to the bar to watch it. When I got there, the pre-game stuff was on. I think they called this ‘plausibly live’. I mentioned to someone that the USA won and he didn’t believe me – “That game hasn’t been played yet.” I covered bets at even odds and made several months’ rent. Imagine that in our information-overflow… Read more »

My Southern Friend, What you fail to understand is that all winter sports (skating, hockey, skiing, curling, etc.) began as either a survival strategy or as entertainment to get you together with your mates and OUT OF THE EFFING HOUSE. Winter in northern climes goes from Oct/Nov to Apr/May. Before power grids, that’s what happened.

This connects to my point above about the difference between soccer and US football, is that soccer fans get to wave the flag, while football fans get to wave a corporate logo.

I figure at least four out of five soccer fans (like myself) are utterly indifferent to club soccer but during international tournaments, everybody is a fanboi for a day, and everybody is a flag-waver.

Most soccer players are still white, at least here in Denmark. The national team: Also, the secret to international football is that you don’t really cheer the players as much as you do your country – that’s why so many normies go football crazy during international tournaments, when they couldn’t even tell you what the off-side rule is about or which club is Danish champion. Even the Germans dare wave the flag at football matches. That said, it is a good point. I figure normie enthusiasm for football would drop considerable if our team looked like the French.

I agree. I got to experience LA in the mid-80s as a very young adult. The music scene was great, traffic was much more tolerable and I could wander around many areas without fear. Of course, like any city, there were areas you definitely avoided, but they were usually obvious, ie, brown.

During the late-80s to early-90s, the downward spiral really picked up speed.

I was 19 and in college. After a first game tie against Sweden, the US team made its run to the the gold. The actual gold medal game against Finland felt anticlimactic. Beating the Soviets brought a much needed and widely felt boost to our national psyche. Fifty-three hostages held at the US embassy were paraded around almost daily. Our president had declared a national “malaise.” Two months later, a botched mission to rescue the hostages burned in Iran’s desert. The election that November brought I national reset.

The same forces that have commercialized everything else try to commercialize hockey and spread it all over – until it means nothing. Hockey is also a white man’s sport …. by-and-large.

It’s the supply chains that should both concern and anger people. ~80% of pharmaceuticals? No American Citizen wanted this or voted for it. Most likely it was a last-minute Rider on some Bill few ever read before voting on it in the middle of the night so they could just go home without incurring the wrath of their corporate masters.

No bill or government mandate needed. It simply is allowed/ignored. When Trump came to power, he specifically mentioned steel and aluminum production vs imports. Aluminum was 80% imported! If there was ever a more strategic material… anyway, I have no idea what the situation is or if Trump has approached it.

We used to be concerned about such, but as repeated here ad nauseam, government is only concerned with the needs of the monied interests. Government, i.e., politicians, are bought and paid for by the super-rich. Simple as that. Whatever produces profits is the law of the land.
