A common scene in the early medieval period was the whole village being rounded up and brought down to the nearest river to be baptized. Their lord had recently converted to the new religion, so his people would be converted. The primary vector for spreading the new religion was through the ruling class. Missionaries from the Church would meet with the local ruler and attempt to win him over. Maybe money would change hands or promises would be made for support against a rival.
It was not the only way the new religion spread, but it was essential that the rulers be converted if the new religion was going to make it. Read about the early days of Christianity in England and it does not sound very Christian. Monasteries were more like frat houses and the nunneries were their sororities. The Church looked past it because this was what was needed to keep the ruling class on board. They needed the rulers to impose the new faith on the people.
The most famous account we have is from the Venerable Bede, who tells us of the first meeting between St. Augustine and King Æthelberht of Kent. The king would not meet with him indoors, as he thought Augustine could be a sorcerer. The king did not convert to Christianity right away, but he did give Augustine freedom to preach and invited him to reside in Canterbury. The king’s wife was a Frank and probably a Christian already, so we see how women are always a potential exploit.
We seem to be experiencing something similar. Those medieval peasants must have thought the world was going mad at times. One day some men with weird haircuts show up and before long the lord is forcing them to be baptized in a new religion that makes no sense to them. Today the boss goes off to a conference and when he returns, he is babbling about white fragility and structural racism. The whole department is then marched off to be trained in how to hate their ancestors.
Of course, we do not have to go back to the sixth century for examples. It must have felt similar to the peasants of Russia when beady-eyed urbanites with foreign surnames arrived from the city saying that the landlord is dead, and they are now part of a Bolshevik Soviet. The whole language of life was changed in just one generation, which is what we are experiencing today. Our ancestors would be baffled by things like “systemic racism” and pronoun declarations.
The thing is, Christianity stuck around for a long time for two main reasons. One is it adapted to the people and culture. From the start, English Christianity was different from Frankish Christianity. Second, there was an inherent logic to Christianity that made it suitable as an organizing ethos for a people. If you followed the rules, you were just as likely to make it to heaven as everyone else who followed the rules. In other words, there was a limiting principle to keep fanaticism on a tight leash.
The new religion, like various forms of Marxism, is riddled with internal contradictions that inhibit social cohesion. It needs conflict or as the Marxists call it, perpetual revolution, in order to justify itself. Christianity was the lifelong search for God, while these secular faiths are the endless search for the Devil. Of course, these secular religions have no limiting principle. Every believer is in a race to see who can be the most fanatical in their devotion to the one true faith.

And then in the same podcast “The New Religion” (July 9, 2021) you seem to suggest that humans evolved from apes in Africa – “the out of Africa hypothesis”. So you’re a materialist just like RamzPaul? At least you don’t say you’re a Christian. But how on Earth are we supposed to value the white race if we are really no more than sophisticated monkeys that came from the dark continent? Christian, pagan, or atheist, this is a ridiculous position to maintain. The science for Darwinism is ridiculous and the philosophy even worse. Natural selection occurs but fish do not… Read more »
In your podcast from July 9, 2021, you mentioned that Christianity “started from the top and was imposed on the population”. This is incorrect. Constantine legalized Christianity in 313 – several centuries after Christ. Before this, the minority of Christians had suffered various persecutions. After 313, it took hundreds of years more for Europe to be converted. Some evidence of forced conversions yes, but not everywhere. The pagan system was so empty by that time, many people flocked to the new faith. Saying that Christianity started from Rome – I assume that’s what you meant – also completely ignores the… Read more »
Fucking Djokovic
Aaaargh
“Novak Djokovic wins Wimbledon. Djokovic has now won 20 Grand Slam titles, equal with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in the all-time winners’ list.” Grand Slam titles are: Aussie, French, U.S. Opens, and Wimbledon. Each one is like a super bowl. They guy who ends up with the most, is considered the best of all time. Just like with an NFL team or quarterback. I’m glad. Joker’s been my favorite player going on 15 years now. The establishment elite loves Roger Federer. He’s a classy guy. He’s Swiss. He speaks well. I like him ok. He holds charity events at… Read more »
I respect him but don’t like his play style.
And I am an old one-hander backhander so seeing a two hander win all these tournaments is something like a challenge to my assumptions about life
Waahhhh
But for some reason Nadal as a two-hander doesn’t bother me as much
Ha! I haven’t heard that complaint since Agassi.
Return to tradition.
Falcone. Agree. I grew up one-handed backhand and forehand. Most boys, and all the girls, had the two-handed backhand because weak sissies. hah. My dad would rage like John Malcovich if our strokes weren’t perfect. You could hear him three quarters of a mile away. My older brothers never mentally recovered, no joke. He took it a bit easier on me. Anyway, yeah, so two-handed backhand was faggot blasphemy to him. And he didn’t allow the exaggerated gonzo top-spin like today’s guy’s do with their high-tech cannon racquets. He was old school. Played in U.S. Open as an amateur. Captain… Read more »

“Christianity was the lifelong search for God, while these secular faiths are the endless search for the Devil. Of course, these secular religions have no limiting principle. Every believer is in a race to see who can be the most fanatical in their devotion to the one true faith.” The reasons Christianity continues to persist are many, but IMO one of the primary ones is that *anyone who goes around sincerely doing their best to be selfless, charitable, forgiving, patient, kind, and longsuffering— as the New Testament commands believers to do— is going to do well in life*. Their neighbors… Read more »
Woke is like a highly bitchy version of Calvinism with a dose of JJeww spitefulness thrown in for good measure
a dose of JJeww spitefulness It turns out that right around the time the Sopranos premiered on HBO, in 1999, James Gandolfini’s wife bore him a son, named Michael. Fast forward a couple of decades, past James Gandolfini’s death in 2013, and suddenly little Michael is starting to bear an eery resemblance to his old man.

I misheard a line from song today. It would make a good Z post title. I seriously don’t know if I heard it right. But I heard it as this: “Victims of Savage Truth”
I’ll try and find the whole song lyric tomorrow. How come everyone here goes to bed at 4pm?
This podcast gave me new understanding. Thank you Zman.
Here in South Africa this religion still runs strong amongst rich urban whites. Even as black nationalism rises and things fall apart. A key tenant of the faith is the belief that you will never be personally affected because of your divinity.
So much of this depends on rich women looking good. If they are ever made to look embarrassed and ugly, say beaten to a pulp by a mob, no one there to save them, and all of a sudden reality sets in, things will change on a dime — at least in America and Europe
Black Velvet, if you please.
The Left knows the magical formula to turn the public into flock of birds. Z puts the approaches in either-or fashion. But I think it’s just one approach leading to another, i.e, Top-down directives, leading to near instinctual group signaling and group protection. They know the obstacle to their magic is a nationalistic dictatorship. So as we all know they push for democracy. The latest Zcast reminds me of an interview I saw last week with Lefty hawk Leon Wieseltier. Long-time editor of The New Republic. Foreign interviews are good because the interviewee will be more straightforward, and not couch… Read more »
Dude wrote a book called “Against Identity”. What a prick.
NYT: “Mr. Wieseltier often commented on what women wore to the office. Telling them that their dresses were not tight enough. One woman said he left a note on her desk thanking her for the miniskirt she wore to the office that day. She said she never wore a skirt to the office again.”
ok, a prick with a sense of humor.
Lincoln was a progressive, just like all good Republicans.
The credo of all progressives is “we know better how you should live than you do yourself.”

James Henry Thornwell in the Southern Literary Messenger July 1851 (hat-tip Timothy Duskin in the Abbeville Institution): “The parties in this conflict are not merely Abolitionists and Slaveholders; they are Atheists, Socialists, Communists, Red Republicans, Jacobins on the one side, and the friends of order and regulated freedom on the other. In one word, the world is the battle ground, Christianity and Atheism the combatants, and the progress of humanity the stake. One party seems to regard society, with all its complicated interests, its divisions and subdivisions, as the machinery of man, which, as it has been invented and arranged… Read more »
Congratulations to Nick Fuentes. I was never one his bandwagon. Particularly the trad-Cath stuff. But let me tell you, nothing brings be around into someone’s camp like the remarks on his twitter banning from that FUCKING PAJEET con artist Dinesh D’Souza and that little kike Shapiro.
Can you explain a bit more. Did Fuentes just get banned from Twitter? Are those other two dweebs happy about it? Please don’t make me go on Twitter.
Can you explain a bit more.
Ang1in had a brilliant piece on it the other day over at H0ax W@tch.
The piece is titled, “F”.
SPLC writes a piece on Twitter and the far right July 7:
https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2021/07/07/we-make-mistakes-twitters-embrace-extreme-far-right
ADL wrote up a piece on NF July 8. Piece is interesting because it mixes a factual timeline with highly biased interpretation of statements/intent. https://www.adl.org/blog/nicholas-j-fuentes-five-things-to-know
Twitter bans NF on the 9th.
SPLC “Hatewatch” claims credit for the take down.
Con inc reactions are illuminating. Mostly people are kicking him personally while saying he shouldn’t be banned. Reactions supports the uniparty theme Z complains about. Con inc reactions among gays, browns, jews and shills particularly unsupportive.

The actual military- not seen on TV – has been exposed to this sort of propaganda for decades. Generally units filter this shit at every level. Its at worst another slide deck. The military function now is to be the Force in Being that has real limits facing Americans, as opposed to the Swalwell crowd. No one would dare give the orders , they’d be ignored at best, dead at worst. The real wild card is the Oath is no longer operative, that was to the Republic. They can’t really us the military, and foreign war not a wise idea… Read more »
Meanwhile, we await an enterprising colonel in charge of a combat unit…
“No one would dare give the orders , they’d be ignored at best, dead at worst.” That’s just a cope. The Bolsheviks turned the Czar’s army against the people, and so can this CRT crowd turn the US military against White Caucasians. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand the American military: a majority of the officer core voted for Hillary Clinton; the joint chiefs spent years undermining Trump (sometimes for good reasons, sometimes not); West Point is basically a CRT indoctrination center now. When the time comes, they won’t be on your side. Anyone who resists in the military will… Read more »
I think you’re correct about the military not being turned on the people is a cope.
It appears there are plenty of PC Bros out there and they are just fine with living and enforcing that worldview.
On balance though, proletarian revolution was probably a lot easier to sell to the troops (especially WWI Russian troops) than woke is to today’s American troops. I like it’s chances of failure, but it’s still a pretty unsettling prospect.
Haiti — what’s the deal with that? Is it CIA again? It sort of smells like it. Is the idea to smash up Haiti so we can get a wave of Haitians into Florida and tip it blue? That will be fun, Cubans get along so well with Haitians. Its the only thing I can figure for now. That’s mostly because I can’t think of an idea so stupid and evil that the Regency has not already tried it. I mean, first prize is a plane ticket out of Haiti to Miami. Second prize is a plane ticket to Mexico… Read more »

Not particularly well insured. My guess is the limit is off to rebuild to current standards. However land value has appreciated way above original.

Most of the time when you mention its going to be a substandard show, I really like it. This was one of my favorites. Do more of this Z.
If Custodial State isn’t catching on perhaps ‘Rubber Room State’ will.

Whitney Webb’s latest is a tour de force illustrating how the Cloud People all travel in the same circles:
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2021/06/investigative-reports/a-leap-toward-humanitys-destruction/
It is also a terrifying expose of the transhumanist agenda that is facing mankind.
My favorite section is the one that discusses their plans for treating human depression that interferes with work productivity via, “total surveillance.”
We slaves are going to be happy, like it or not.
Whitney Webb is one of the Immortals. That good lady deserves her own shrine.
Ditto. I shun mainstream media and most of the internet news sites as well, but Whitney is the real deal when it comes to old school journalism. She lives in Chile with her husband and reports from the fringe, which is probably why she hasn’t been doxxed yet.
I agree. I hadn’t thought about but over on Sailer’s blog some-one mentioned female podcasters and it occurred to me that Webb is the only one I listen to.
It seems to me that there’s no-one suffering from a shortage of female opinion.
It’s about 6-8 k words a day from men v 18-20k from women.
Whitney Webb is a treasure.
Oh don’t worry.
Whitney has attracted at least one online (((stalker))) that accuses her of being a, “pro-Iranian shill that wants to defund DARPA:”

All shall bow down in obeisance to Neo-Khazaria.
Heh. Always did. It wasn’t a treacherous epileptic who created Islam to kill off the Mideast Christian majority, and the Gulf Royals are Donmeh from Thessalonia. (Other Donmeh attempted branches, such as the Turkish, didn’t make it.)
Don’t deceive yourself. The House of Saud hangs by a thread. First, there is disunity as dwindling resources has led MBS to hang his cousins upside down in the Marriott hotel a few years ago and subject them to torture until they coughed up their wealth. This has not been an acclaimed policy inside the extended royal family. Secondly he has purged many cousins from positions to install his own low-born loyalists. Third, he has largely failed to even maintain the social spending and handouts to the young mostly urban poor who have seen subsidies cut. Fourth, his military is… Read more »

Even extreme polarities on left and right of the ruling class argue over different degrees of the SAME shared values. Thus: “Democrats are the real racists”. So it IS possible to reduce the managerial hive-mind to a system of these shared values.

The Deep State doesn’t exist?
My understanding, and granted I could be totally wrong, but my understanding is the Deep State is it’s the people who never go home. The upper management right under the appointees of the many agencies of the federal government. The lifelong “civil servants” and the lobbyists who live in DC and other people of this “managerial class.” Guys like former CIA director John Brennan who threaten people on Twitter. Or the federal prosecutors who selectively enforce the law and round up the Jan 6th crowd and stick them in solitary for trespassing.
I thought that was weird too. Zman seems he’ll bent on dismantling this “bourgeois objectivism” but he doesn’t make a convincing case. In fact he often lays out examples that make the opposite case. Powerful and influential people get together to extend and protect their power and influence. This is just a truism that can hardly be argued against. It’s also strange that in the long segment where he describes all the things in common you’ll find amongst the cloud people he never mentions early life. It’s almost startling he didn’t go there as Zman usually throws us noticers a… Read more »

Barry was and is a Kenyan. His putative father ( You may recall Barry “wrote” a book about him) was born there and a glimpse at the Kenyan Constitution confirms that it confers citizenship upon their spawn with no other qualification. There is no provision for renunciation, at least there wasn’t when I looked at it in about 2006.

When he first tried to become a politician he claimed to be Kenyan to win white women’s votes. They love them some safe “exotica.” This was the birth of Birtherism.
Turns out, in Chicago that doesn’t work because the city’s full of unsafe non-exotic black people who hate Africans. So he rushed (ahem) to become merely black, to procure a cred-enhancing mega-black local Sanford Wife, etc.
What’s true? Maybe none of his stories. He looks like his mother. Same boobs, even. Every black guy lighter than Clarence Thomas is a wigger anyway.
Well, Ellis Island didn’t open until 1892 but the Kennedy and Biden were, respectively, the descendants of an earlier wave of Irish immigrants.
Z-man, good points, but let me add that Christianity offered real power advantages to the ruler and other real advantages to the peasants and lower ranked nobility. For the ruler, it gave a LITERATE class of clerks who could never, ever challenge for the throne, as they were monks. Monks were always up to something — brewing beer, making wool, that increased the prosperity of the kingdom. And being Christian, the King could ask the Pope to declare that other Christian Kings had to aid him in wars against Pagans. Who had no literate class and thus could never tell… Read more »
Christianity offered hope for the peasants and losers, even of only in the next life. Wokism doesn’t offer anyone hope. – just revenge for some.
Christianity also set standards for the powerful. Which could be used to reign in their pest impulses. Wokism does no such thing.
Its interesting no one asks is Christianity true, but only, does it work… my stars
I consider ‘working’ a precondition to being true. Why would God bequeath to his children a set of rules to live by that would make likely their own eventual extinction?
That is why I would prefer, if I had no other choice, Islam to white wokism. Islam is a complete and utter failure when it comes to advancing humanity (no matter what standard you use to measure whether something is an advance) but it works very well to perpetuate itself. Wokism is just slow motion civilizational extinction.

Muh brutha, you do realize that this is the JIDF we’re talking about here, right?

The early Church fathers were quite worldly and “wise as serpents, and gentle as doves.” Simply proclaiming a faith as true does not work to gain converts. The lack of Christian assimilation among the English in North America by Indians vs. Catholic Spain in its possessions is startling. And like the Early Fathers, Catholic priests and monks sought a syncretic approach. Indians could keep their Goddesses, just surprise surprise as Gomer Pyle used to say, those Goddesses were actually Saints. And guess what, their feast days were the same exact days (more or less) as the Goddesses feast days! See… Read more »
Absolutely stellar, Whiskey. That’s what I gleaned from it too- that literacy was as powerful a leap as agriculture.
Your exposition isn’t a mere semester in political and social science, heck, it’s a PhD.

Also note that the US embassy in SK began flying some of the largest alphabet soup and Burn, Loot, Murder flags of any US embassies.

I spend 5-9 hours a day with the Chinese. The women are all feminists. they want to work far more than they want to be mothers. Its pathetic. They are a pathetic people, they worship the West.
I wouldn’t call Chinese women feminists. The problem is neither are they the fictional shy, submissive, and feminine women White men with yellow fever imagine. Asian women, in general, are ruthlessly practical They will assess a man’s economic and social potential based on height, overall appearance, college attended, and just a bit on lineage. If they feel he will help them socially or financially, they will strive to match their behavior to said Western man’s expectations. They will also have a child as soon as possible to cement the union and ensure a long-term financial binding; they do this not… Read more »
lolz you know chinese women. Most ruthlessly practical creatures i’ve dealt with. I’ve had several chinese women graduate students. Maybe just the strivers that come over?
As the Playahz will tell you, “China Girl have cash register for soul.”

The new religion is all about inverting social reality. The program is to subvert through perversion, to transform through transgression, to alter through alterity, and to sow malfunction through dysfunction. All hinges upon heterology, which is the study and valorization of the Other. The enemy of the Other is the straight, white, Christian male, although all white people fall within the target zone.
ZMan, your discussion of Reductionism was well thought out and appreciated. It reminded me of one of my favorite jokes that I tell my economist friends as frequently as I can. A physicist, a chemist and an economist were stranded on a deserted island after a ship wreck. A pallet of canned beans floated up to shore as part of the flotsam. The three began to discuss ways that they might open the cans to eat the beans while they awaited rescue. The physicist proposed that he climb one of the palm trees that lined the beach and hurl a… Read more »
And then the physicist and chemist had an epiphany and proceeded to eat the economist with some fava beans & a nice Chianti.
We had a version of that joke about college majors back in the days. Why did the chicken cross the road? Each major had its own stereotypical answer, e.g. the Philosophy majors answered something about “how do we know there is a chicken?” The engineers’ answer was “First, assume a spherical chicken…”
Enlightenment thinkers, perhaps the economists or philosophers of pragmatism, would have us believe that people always operate in their own self-interest. That sounds good. It is “rational.” As such. many sciences took it as a tenet. Economics, for example, studies the choices of countless individuals and tries to make predictions. They assume(d) agents always act rationally. Problem: people aren’t entirely rational. This encouraged investigations. Occasionally, odd results, like a psychologist winning a Nobel prize for Economics (Kahnemann for his research with Tversky). As such, I revise that wisdom as follows: “People act in what they THINK is their own self-interest.”… Read more »
“I love your quote that in, say, economics, they often mistake the model for what is modeled. This malady is hardly limited to economics. Witness the current mess that is climate “science.” It’s fun to play with our models, since they are more malleable, unlike the reality they purport to emulate. ”
The Branch Covdians are a more pressing example of a Cult of Fallacy.
And the ultimate proof that people are something other than rational is the behavior of the modelers. That Neil Ferguson guy predicted something like five million deaths from COVID. He recommended draconian lockdowns. And then, not a week after this, he got busted for violating his own lockdown rules — which he said weren’t stringent enough!! — to go bang his side-piece…
….who was married…
…to a guy that was in quarantine for a COVID exposure…
…who was living with her.
That alone should’ve ended the COVID panic, via a pitchfork-wielding mob, a lamppost, and some rope.
“And the ultimate proof that people are something other than rational is the behavior of the modelers. ”
Ferguson was perfectly rational, he was just lying.
We run scenarios. Constantly, that’s what we do- even in our dreams.
Even “God” is a model- a social probability model, a useful archetype, a Face people can understand as they try to order and predict their day.

As such, I revise that wisdom as follows: “People act in what they THINK is their own self-interest.” If the Frankfurt School has taught us poor stoopid mouth-breathing shkotzim anything whatsoever, it is that the Insula-dominant will act in whatever manner will maximize the Muh Feelz emanating from their Insulae. And that means fighting tooth & nail with one another to become the first to be canonized in whichever is the New Religion du jour that the Frankfurt School is pushing at any particular moment in time.

The conversion of the Saxon kings to Christianity was an interesting story. (From your recommendation, I listened to the British History Podcast, which is quite good though its creator is an SJW loon.) But as you note, Christianity stuck because it offered something for everyone and did push people to become better versions of themselves. But as you note, Wokism only benefits a few at the top, offers no salvation for whites and pushes people to become ever more insane. It’s simply not a religion that can last. The only thing holding it up is Goodwhites who haven’t caught on… Read more »
Karen will never get it. Not even when the mob shows up with the rope. Karen is just the slightly older version of what I call the BCG, the Basic College Girl. The BCG can’t — simply can NOT — distinguish between Twitter and the real world. BCGs like having “h8rz” on social media, because that confirms how unique and special they are — if you’re h8ing on her, that means you’re thinking about her, and she’s not thinking about you, which means she wins. The “Karen” memes are just h8rz h8ing, which means the targets are actually proud of… Read more »
Severian: Add to that their utter solipsism – the h8rz are targeting those other White women, who aren’t as virtuous and don’t adhere as closely to Wokism’s tenets. Each BCG/Karen is absolutely certain she is a Goodwhite and legitimate POX ally, therefore the anti-White hate couldn’t possibly be directed towards her.
I saw a young, slender, blonde coal burner in the gym this morning with her dindu. Her grandparents must be so proud.
Well, a lot of working class white women has gotten the message, but then, they didn’t go to college. But you’re likely right. I mentioned to a Karen that the Karen memes were anti-white and that white suburban women were next on the hit list. She just stared at me. She truly couldn’t comprehend what I was saying. She simply couldn’t conceive that she wasn’t a part of the good team.

Citizen of a Silly Country: In the Karens’ defense, the media – chat shows, Netflix series geared toward white women, etc. – always show them on the side of angels and fully accepted by the program’s sainted non-whites… The media is very careful to stroke the egos of white women, at least for now.
Question #1: Why would the Frankfurt School target White women as the recipients of its propaganda in the first place?
Question #2: When did the Frankfurt School ever NOT target White women as the recipients of its propaganda?

Just think, the freshly-woke military is slowly coming home. They’ll need a new mission to justify their budget.
The good news: the central tenet of this new religion is self destruction. To fight the zealots as if they intend to conquer is foolish. That’ll only make things worse. They want to be conquered.
BECAUSE IT’S FEMININE. Pure chaos and head games. There’s a reason why the serpent chose to tempt Eve, a reason why Baphomet has tits (and a strap on).
The first apparent target of the woke military is their own. The purged might end up with a chip on their collective shoulders, to go along with all their training and experience.
Many will become ronin. And that is a white pill.
In terms of the Oath we are already Ronin, and dishonored from above, by our Superiors.

Nor as many tell themselves is this about a paycheck, or this or that benefit. That might seem a motive from the outside but it is not true.

Once our species acquired complex language skill, we used it to program our offspring postpartum, which is nurturing on steroids. Programming kids with hard-earned ancient wisdom helped them to survive & thrive. Religion, of all flavors, is an effective means of passing wisdom down to each succeeding generation because it affords uniformity of message, repetition into habit, and group reinforcement via the reward/stigma feedback mechanism. But this only “works” if the message is based upon ancient wisdom that evolved over time via the gauntlet of hard knocks in a local environment. Inventing a new religion that is not based upon… Read more »

I want the new religion to be about stopping immigration.
How does that happen?
Why is it that immigration has been so hard to stop? Only a small handful of countries have done so and only for a short period of time. Japan falters now, Israel falters now, Hungary and Poland are hanging on by a thread. The Western previously Anglo countries are on the edge of dissolution.
Why is stopping immigration so hard?
More importantly, what to do about it now?
4S and focus. It’s the only to be sure.
I don’t know why either. I think as countries get wealthy people lose their zeal and instinctive guarding attitude towards their own “stuff”. From a financial perspective immigration offers massive gains. You basically take a person from India, drop them into San Francisco. Suddenly they buy a house and 1 million $ of “value” have been created. They are consoomers for life. It’s an illusion of basically infinite growth. For the people back home it means remittances. Basically welfare from white countries to poor ones. Wealthy countries also have overly generous social security but no enough children to pay for… Read more »
The only way to stop immigration is to create an ethnostate founded upon the idea of white homogeneity and exclusivity. This must be the very basis of the ethnostate.
This is a project we should start working on before it’s too late. Thankfully, I see that several prominent dissident right thinkers have recently come around to this concept. Separation is the only viable solution now. We can’t talk down PMC leftists because their beliefs are religious tenets, not the end product of logical reasoning. They’ll never be a moment when we can prove them wrong and change their minds because they associate their beliefs with being moral. Changing their minds means renouncing their faith and accepting the devil. They’ll never to that. And they’ll never be a time when… Read more »
Uh… because the powers that be favor massive immigration, and The Great Replacement?
Its policy.
They’re doing it, not stopping it. They are stopping us, by drowning us in wogs.
You know, every religious conversion in history has just about been basically a political scam forced upon the dirty people by their beautiful superiors. The beautiful people always made it clear, like everything else, that if you don’t do this, I’ll have you killed. Now the problem today is that our Elites and their Wokester coteries appear just as nasty as can be, but this time the filthy white people they’re tasked to lay low are armed to the teeth to the extent of 450 million to 600 million firearms, plus trillions of rounds of ammunition. Just how do people… Read more »
I don’t know. The gun crowd hasn’t done anything yet. I love that American Whites have guns, but I wonder sometimes if it gives a false sense of security: We don’t have to fight all the little battles because we have guns. Maybe. But will people really start pushing back. What if the government just imposes a $500 a month fee on owning a gun? If you don’t pay it, you’re fired from your job and lose your bank account. Nobody comes to your door to take your gun. You just go broke. The power is shut off to your… Read more »
It must be comforting thought to the rulers that all these ‘white men with guns will do nothing’ because, erm, they’ve done nothing. The fear behind that thought is projected by how hard they’re coming down on the tourists that happened to wander into DC on 6 Jan. Problem is, based on your scenario, another saying might just kick in, “a cornered rat is a dangerous rat…” and that one just waits for the pressure, the heat getting higher … higher … to boil. Then, what was ‘not done’ in the past might be out the window as the rat… Read more »
Solzhenitsyn had it right when talked about what would have happened if when Soviet police went out to arrest people if they weren’t sure that they would come home.
Those nice salaries, fringe benefits and pensions of the state security officers don’t mean much if you’re dead. But, of course, I’m only talking about a hideous regime like the Soviets, not our righteous government.

It’s worth keeping a copy around. I usually find it useful about once a year, And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family?

When you give a man nothing to lose,

I’d rather be a white population doing nothing – with guns – than a white population doing nothing – without guns. Drones and nukes are not useful in a guerilla warfare situation. Of course it’s entire possible that you’re right and they just ramp up the backdoor measures. One mistake they’ve made is excluding white males from the system though. If you’re a lower class or unattractive white male today you’re basically screwed for life anyways, so does it really matter if you become a pariah? (The cutoff is creeping higher every year too).

The problem with white men with guns is that its equal odds whether those guns will be used to destroy the evil overlords or to take that last box of cereal from a neighboring pantry. There is no castle to storm. Breaking the grip of the cloud means breaking those things that feed us and keep us in comforts. Comfort and food will be the front lines which means “sides” get blurred quickly.

Actually, perhaps you should compare how Americans are treated by their government compared to those of Canada or Great Britain. Those leaders for the Queen treat their own people like the tyrants they have become, but we’re certainly not there yet. I can imagine that our leaders think about our state of being well armed all the time, and that is the only reason it hasn’t happened here. As far as the government proving how you have a gun, at this point that is largely impossible. Oh, they may have the papers that show you bought it, but in most… Read more »
I’m close to a lake where the bottom must be 3 feet deep in boat accidented guns n gold.
I don’t have to lie. I would simply say that they were all sold in a local flea market for cash. Here in the Mid-Ohio Valley, there’s flea markets everywhere. They always bring top dollar when sold like that, cash on the barrel head.
Treating the UK and Canada as the same is silly.
Canada is more tyrannical than the UK or the US but the US is more oppressive than the UK. CRT is mandatory in US schools,not in the UK. You still have functioning elections in the UK eg Brexit but in the US ,well, Biden is the president
On a cruder level: which country is more diverse?
The raising of the costs of legal gun ownership aren’t a hypothetical, its the Leftist open policy for some years.
This will work, raising the costs has always worked for them. See college, diverse neighborhoods, health care… running a business, we can’t forget home mortgages.
So yes that’s what they’re working on.
The NRA you know is an insurance company, that’s their main business for years, selling firearms liability insurance. > soooo…
What are the NRAs precious “incentives “ in this matter?
😂
As for the guns themselves, useless as pitchforks in the fat peasants hands holding them.
The cost of an AR-15 at palmetto state armory is about $600. 30 round pmags that soared as high as $75+ in early 2013 can be had $100/10. Midwayusa is selling small hat m193 for 55cpr with free shipping. The cost was only cheaper in 2018-2019 and there has never been a time like these past few years when normies could buy quality milspec, or better, hardware and at prices affordable to anyone with a pulse. Only a fool hasn’t bought already. In the absolute worst-case scenario, private ownership is a real deterrent and, as you suggest, forces the cloud… Read more »
Guns are no impediment to Leftists. They can take those from you just as easily as they opened up the girls bathroom.

Nothing you typed made any sense. It reminds me of Ben Shapiro’s habit of talking fast and hoping people take him as intelligent because he presented himself that way. Same with this Latin business. It serves only to obfuscate the fact that the poster can’t make a cogent point.
“WTF caliber is that supposed to be?”
Nice of you to make an assumption that wasn’t warranted by anything that was typed. Stultus Est Sicut Stultus Facit.
The predilections of the crowd here chez Z run highly deductivistic – there is very little appeal to inductivism [empiricism] in these parts. Now deductivistically speaking, the line of thought here seems to be something along the lines of “Nothing happened before this point in time, therefore necessarily nothing will happen after this point in time.” In Latin, that might look something like “Nihil pre hoc, ergo nihil post hoc.” But an empiricist would look at an assertion like that and simply roll his eyes and shake his head.

It is a good example of how the system invents its own convenient opponents. Instead of addressing actual opponents of this new religion, they promote this banal nothing of a phase, “successor ideology” and then wail away at it.

Getting White’s riled up is half the battle.
To white women and (((elites))), east asians are supposed to be quiet, compliant, good at math, and provide some sushi for when the fancy strikes.
To blacks they are just strange aliens who make ching chong noises.
The power structure has no interest in East Asian leaders. Authoritarian, centrist, technocratic leadership like Singapore has would probably benefit most white people, and improve society in general. Certainly would put a crimp on the immense grift that the current ruling class gets out of inner city black slums. So Yang is out.
to me they make ching chong noises too
thezman has painted himself into a corner. By conflating religion, with anti-religion; Christianity, with Antichrist; God and creation, with purposeless and meaningless materialism; a life aiming at eternal Heaven, with a life aiming at here-and-now comfort and pain-avoidance; a life so faith-motivated that it inspires courage unto death, with a life so drained of significance that it embraces nihilistic despair and seeks annihilation in suicide… If thezman cannot see the vast Gulf that lies between Jesus Christ and Leftism – then he is blinded to what matters most – the Only thing that ultimately matters.

Tell me, how many preachers have you heard of that told their little peon flocks to put their masks on, and go get their “It’s Not a Real Vaccine” vaccine shots? I’ll help you out here if you’re going “But, but…..”, for it’s nearly every one of them. Do you think that set gives a damn if someone’s lights go out before they should?
Ouch, some people didn’t like what I had to say about some preachers and their peons. If your church shut their doors during the “pandemic”, and you don’t have a problem with that, then believe me, you really do have a problem.Before you complain about the splinter in my eye, you need to pay attention to that plank in your eye.
Dude have some resiliency. It’s downvotes on a comment thread. It’s just north of meaningless
Actually my beef is with the people who believe what their government tells them. Somehow some church people think they’re exempt from criticism on this issue.
Not everyone can type bitchy, preachy comments. Some people are so untalented they have to write multiple essays and produce a podcast every week.
To be fair, Bruce Charlton’s blog is pretty good. With a lot of great religious insights as they relate to the evil of Leftism. Don’t take my word, however, just click his username and have a gander.
As it turns out, he also writes multiple essays.
Yes indeed. I never assumed that the Z Man was a Christian but he does not at all act as enemy of Christianity.
The philosophical incoherence you mentioned that the Z Man exhibits from time to time is because he is not a believer. Thus his understanding of things material and Eternal can only go so far.
The Z Man is not hostile to true Christianity.
Christianity has perverted itself and been perverted by external forces and Christianity has contributed to the current condition of western civilization.
The Z has insights into mankind’s nature that if 1/10 of the preachers and priests had in the past we would not be in this mess today.
I say all this as a Christian myself.
Yep. As the Carpenter said, “Whoever is not against us is for us.”—Mark 9:40
The church today has long since devolved into something indistinguishable from a left wing lesbian liberal arts college.
The church (Protestants completely, Catholics not quite as much but the trend is undeniable) has failed to conserve much of anything.
Now que the “No true Scotsman” rebuttal.
The Catholic Church is literally a gay pedo real estate hoarding operation. What cave are you crawling out of?
While you aren’t necessarily wrong, Christianity has been so debased by its own clergy that anybody thinking there’s no difference between Christ and any other religious figure is only believing what their eyeballs show them.
That will need to be corrected with a mass persecution of genuine Christianity. As an inevitable victim of that, I am p*ssed at the Church’s so-called, self-appointed lead-duhs, who courageously recite government guidelines in false harmony with Scripture.
The people who will seek out to destroy the real Christians will be those who call themselves Christians.
Bruce, its possible for Z to see parallels between current woke culture and Christianity, while distinguishing between the good in Christianity and evil in woke culture. I see nothing in Z’s analysis that is contrary to a historic Catholic understanding of the world.
Yes, “historic” is key word in the previous sentence. I am optimistic and believe that Christianity offers the spiritual and moral tools to address the difficult challenges we face today.
Should we worship Israel, and look to Jerusalem?
I want to be sympathetic to Christians because I am grateful that I grew up in a culturally Christian environment. However, I believe the wholesomeness of that culturally Christian environment was a result of white people imbuing their goodness into Christianity and not the other way around. Christians argue about whether Christ was the alpha trad warrior or the original “love everyone without judgement” hippie. Christ drives the money changers out of the temple. Yet, “turn the other cheek.” Christ judges sinners. Yet, “Let he without sin cast the first stone.” Christianity is malleable to anything and people who think… Read more »

Sure, what happens after death is supposedly a concern of most religions but their main purpose, Christianity included, is the regulation of sexual activity in the here and now. As with all living organisms, the two most important concerns of humans are food and sex, both the focus of taboos and prohibitions. Everything else is just a complication. Sex is the most significant because successfully passing along one’s genes is the real life after death.

tolkien society members appear to be a disastrous combination of porn addicted freaks & fantasy nerds.
i assume the only reason they’re lotr fans is cause tolkien invented hobbits & these degenerates get off to elves fucking hobbits in their fanfic porn.
wonder what would tolkien say if he met them, I would pay to watch a still alive tolkien talk to his ‘fanbase’
I suspect his reaction may be the same as any perhaps still sane man when confronted with people who just idolized him. People for whom he (and more so his work) was their life, and that is with a measure a reserve and dignity – but with inner revulsion and a want to be as far from them as possible.
Perhaps pity, also.
Tolkien, as well as his colleague, C. S. Lewis, were serious Christians as well as serious scholars of Norse and Celtic mythology. The current autists and weirdos were not for them. I see the Tolkien Society corruption, i.e. literary analysis with a slant toward the current societal perversions as indeed self interest. These people want to be published and hope to be hired by universities. I’m sure they have convinced themselves they are true believers, and I’m equally sure their PhD programs have been steeped in the “religion” for which there must be no dissent. On the other hand, there… Read more »
” I see the Tolkien Society corruption, i.e. literary analysis with a slant toward the current societal perversions as indeed self interest.”
That’s true, I actually recall watching a university lecture online about Jane Eyre(was really bored that day).
Her entire speech was all about white patriarchy, sexism & racism, that’s all that useless feminist lecturer could understand from that story.
I assume when these fuckers read Lotr all they can think about is orcs being discriminated upon by hobbits & hobbit porn ofc.
Tolkien probably would have said something like what William Shatner said on Saturday Night Live to the Star Trek convention:
Do you live in your parent’s basement?
Have you ever kissed a girl?

J.R.R. Tolkien Returns With Army Of The Dead To Destroy Everyone Trying To Make ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Woke

All those people that go to Renaissance Fairs are having orgies, it’s a total pervert satanist show when you get to the Inner Circle. Seems to be really common among inner circles. Which is how you know that gnosticism is just another word for satanism
I have never read anything by Tolkien, but hear good things about him. He seems to me, as many would who compose great works, like a man who wants to see others enjoy his works the way he does. Talking about the finer points; crossovers from the fictional world into the real world… intellectual, if you like.
Not dress-up, role-play and being roasted by a Furry and a butch LGBT+ dressed as a pixie. Satanism indeed. Evil for sure.
Even if you are not a fiction reader, “The Hobbitt” is short and easy to read.

Check out Peter Jackson’s movies. They’re fantastic and 100% white. Amazing. I watched them all recently and enjoyed them so much that I decided to read the trilogy again, the first time since high school. It was really pleasurable. It’s a wonderful escape
It just dawned on me that that was the Brilliance of Peter Jackson making those movies simultaneously. Even though they were released years apart no one could start clamoring for a more diverse cast in the sequels because they had already been made
I have seen the movies and thought them excellent. And because of your comment, I may watch them again tonight, as I have the trilogy on DVD – some old steam powered technology.
I just recently read The Hobbit, also the first time since HS, and the Trilogy as well. Enjoyed all four.
It’s pretty well known that the workers and actors in Ren Fairs are basically conducting summer-long swinger’s parties on their off hours.
Tolkien is an interesting case study in Christian restraint.
He stands in stark contrast to modern fantasy, sci-fi, and comic book writers, a disturbingly high percentage of which are freakish perverts.
Indeed. Take a look at the bloke who wrote Game of Thrones and tell me, if you can with a straight face, that when his pornographic novels were made into a series, he wasn’t bashing his bishop all the merry night over the re-runs.
That said, I don’t know much about the chap, he could be a decent guy…
George Martin is an odd dude, but he seems to have a normal-ish personal life that has involved multiple marriages to women with no kids.
Examples of freak shows I can cite off the top of my head are the guy who created the Wonder Woman character and the Marion Bradley, author of, “The Mists of Avalon,” who was married to a guy that needed a millstone necklace and one-way diving excursion.
Wachowski brothers
to be honest, i believe martin stopped writing his novels cause they’re too raunchy for modern audiences, he’ll definitely get cancelled & called a racist.
“A woman raped!? HOW DARE YOU!??”
“Why are there no transvestite knights!? HOW DARE YOU!? ”
RIP western civilization
Depends who is doing the raping
If the perp is from certain groups, it’s a-ok with western feminists.
Of course if it’s an ugly beta male asking a white woman for coffee, then that’s also rape and is not okay under any circumstances.
GOTW- the most popular show planetwide, because the characters and themes were- you damn betcha- All White!
Curse us or copy us, they will always look up to the Elves.
One distinguishing feature of Christianity that put it over other elite-centric creeds was its affordability. No one, least of all the missionaries, assumed that all would be equal in the new Christian community (despite whatever that “Jesus” guy said; we’ve been ignoring him for 2000 years now). However, the *startup costs* are the same for everyone. That puts heaven within everyone’s reach — unlike, say, Gnosticism, which was theoretically for everyone but practically needed the kind of free time and cash only the Late Antique elite had. That’s where the new woke religion will break down. They can hold out… Read more »
Sev, Its the replacement legitimacy for the Constitutional and so legal order they overthrew. Its the most competent thing they’ve done since 1965. It Sanctifies their policy. It is the religion of POWER, or politics if you prefer. As far as breaking down… who do you see is breaking down? Or is broken? Them? Or us? As far as failing the masses that is hilarious. The best they want for the masses is the Favelas, the worst extinction. Yes, Woke would be a bad religion to seek comfort or redemption from… They seek no such things. The opposite is sought-… Read more »
Last week a pro golfer and two other men were shot down at a suburban Atlanta country club. I held off on judgment, as it was kind of a weird situation, but it turns out that the shooter (initially misidentified as one of Bill Kristol’s hard workers from Latin America) turned out to be a jogger. I went to YouTube to see the reaction. Basically everyone who would have had a bald eagle avatar ten years ago now has a Pepe the Frog. The media is claiming the motive is unknown. I hazard that after they get to the bottom… Read more »
It is becoming clear that many young blacks are consuming the antiwhite messages from our rulers and believing they have a license to kill white people.
It takes a while for a new, weird, idea to sink in. Like a timid squirrel who learns to eat out of your hand. “You mean to say that I can kill white people and go unpunished, maybe even honored for it?
What happens when a thousand squirrels surround you and you run out of walnuts?
They do have a license to Kill. And then they can get off by saying the person they killed said Niger. Voice text changed that btw
‘Niger’ has always been an immense source of amusement for me, I cannot think why…
In many areas I’ve worked there have been many Nigers. Perhaps there are many Nigers in Niger herself. Niger please!
Isn’t “niger” Latin for black?
Twenty years ago I had a heated argument over the sacred ‘niger’ word with a longtime friend who was then principal of a private catholic boys high school. A “scholarship” football-american student had given a savage beating to an opposing player after a game for reasons. The white kid had apparently laid a few too many tackles on him preventing his usual yardage. But the truth evaporated because poc kid said white kid had called him niger in one of the scrums. Nobody else heard anything. No other taunts or misbehavior by white kid was noted. In this 95% white… Read more »
So I have a close friend that’s black. I won’t get super into his details, but suffice it to say he makes good money and has mostly white friends. On the political spectrum he was never in the lefty camp. He recently made an insightful comment to me that, “Recently, I feel like I’ve grown to hate white people.” When I asked, “why do you think that is?” He wasn’t able to really articulate it, but media did come up. This truly frightened me. By every measure, this is is a moderate middle class black person. The antiwhite rhetoric isn’t… Read more »
I am sorry to hear of this predicament; but for me it has always been inevitable. It is also why I cannot (and any sane white ought not) to have close friends that are black. When race comes up, and it will, their loyalty will slide to their people.
It should also frighten you. Your observation that it “isn’t just reaching the inner city welfare blacks, but it’s also reaching the moderates.” is akin to the revelation Lawrence Auster had. In Auster’s case, he was astounded that educated blacks bought into this too.
The reason it’s frightening is for two reasons. As I mentioned before, moderate blacks are buying it, but also think of it this way. Think of it as a sliding “hate whitey” scale of 1-10. If the rhetoric is sliding moderates from 2 to 6. What’s it doing to the blacks that were already at 7 or above?
Five star comment.
Eventually this will also reach beyond the moderate to the conservative / evangelical blacks. For that miniscule demographic slice, they’ll have to decide between the ‘courage of their convictions’ or martyrdom. (My guess is not many bullets will be required to accomplish that task).
South Africa and Rhodesia are also 99% evangelical Christian.
I don’t think it’s any mystery which side they choose.
I got a black buddy that runs a tight ship. He is worried about the eventual reactions of whites.
Watch your back. But to be fair I’m coming to hate us too. We are the ones that are pushing all this Insanity around the world. We castrated our men, turned our women into whores turned baby killing into an industry and now we’re mutilating our children.
And over the years, I have grown to hate joggers. If they want a war many of us are willing to give them one.
Outsiders have their own worlds that barely interact with the “real” one. Criminal-class blacks are as separate from globohomo as the Amish are. They’re not really getting the message. They’ve heard from their friends that nobody’s staying in jail anymore, a text goes out when there’s a riot to do, and they know “racist” is the password. Not good, but not much of a factor in everyday life. Moderate middle class people are extremely dangerous. They’re mentally empty, fully susceptible and constantly subject to official messaging. They don’t resist or doubt or ever really think anything. They’re in obedience school… Read more »
Heh, look how middle class moderates reacted to the Beer Flu agitprop.
If one is ever to feel pity for a Melanic Hominid™ you have given a perfect example. Just imagine: You are one of the Talented Tenth, an Oreo who at least most of the time thinks, acts, holds similar values, to most Whites. You may even have the privilege to live and work among us. But you can never truly be White. Meanwhile, your racial brethren, the untalented 9/10, hate your guts. You are an Uncle Tom or whatever. You rationally hesitate to be with your own Tribe because you are acutely aware of all their dysfunction — and you… Read more »
Ben, not sure I agree with your analysis completely. Why should a successful Black man not retain his heightened impulsivity, emotionality, and other behaviors that separate—in general—Blacks from Whites—and makes them more dangerous? Because he has a higher IQ or is successful?
Let’s see some counter examples. How about O J Simpson? Or LeBron James?
Greek, no disrespect meant here with my comment.
As I read/interpret you made friends with one of the “talented tenth” and then found out there is no escaping his generic, behavioral proclivities. Not much different than that clown awhile back who thought he had a *special* relationship to the bears on Vancouver island. Of course, such misguided thinking got him and his dumb girlfriend eaten. A bear is a bear is a bear. That he didn’t eat him was because he wasn’t hungry enough to make him a worthwhile meal.
Sounds like your bear is getting hungry—aren’t they all?
Compsci: Solid comment. Reminds me what I said to my then high-school-aged son regarding his sub-con ‘friend.’ He soon learned I was right, because ultimately, as you note, A bear is a bear is a bear. Sooner or later, but always, genetics will out.
CompSci: Your criticism seems misplaced. But consider that my example was meant to show an atypical Black: while they’re a statistical rarity, the law of large numbers means there will be a certain (small) percentage of Black men that are the “equal” of the average White not only in terms of IQ, but also self-control, time preference and so on. While IQ is not everything, it’s a lot. I lack detailed data, but I speculate that regardless of race, from IQ >= 100, crime of any type gets rare as the IQ goes up. It’s quite possible that when Nature… Read more »
With all due respect as well. I think you’re not understanding the basics race realism. As constantly pointed out by Z, or Jared Taylor, or Dutton, the aggregate group differences doesn’t mean there aren’t high performing individuals. There are blacks that are of high IQ or have favorable behavioral traits. I always frame it this way to people: think of a baseball team. Yankees vs Pirates. The Yankees are a way better team with a better batting average. Even though the Pirates are a bad team, there could be a few all stars in there. His being manipulated by the… Read more »
Greek—this comment refers back to your last comment wrt my understanding of RR or HBD science. Nothing you stated contradicts what I’ve said. The very description of your “friendship” with your Black friend supports this assertion wrt his and your relationship. You lament a brief lapse on his part where he admits to “hating Whites”, but you lament this because you like him and do not hate *all* Blacks, but can and do discern good ones from bad ones—and you consider him a good one. You see the difference here? You claim sorrow that he has been brainwashed by the… Read more »
That is sad, because when they are friends, they are very good friends indeed.
I meet far too many good, solid blacks.
I still find their voices and rhythms familiar and comforting.
There are too many good people of all kinds who will be swept away.
This I agree and I would not promote going out of my way to make anyone’s life harder—regardless of race. We live in a mixed race society. Follow the “rules” of appropriate, civil interaction and hope for the best.
My posting is one of caution wrt such “deep”friendships between races. The example brought up is a good one to take note of when you think you’ve got a race blind minority “friend”—also known as a “good one”. You most likely are fooling yourself. Whites are the only known race to have such out-group preferences a whole.
In my case, I’ll say the feeling is mutual.
The entire thrust is towards middle class, black and white
I hear ya Luckily my black friends aren’t like that. Well maybe one is susceptible to it. But he’s younger. Blacks my age want nothing to do with woke. I know they have pondered it all, but their inner goodness keeps them stable, as does my inner goodness. I can be here all day talking shit about blacks, but in real life I am a loving soul, and they all know it. A good test is whether they listen to rap or blues, a signifier of age. The rappers are always angry and looking to start shit with whites, even… Read more »
And with their low impulsivity and disregard for the consequences of their abominations, as well as the unwillingness to deal with these creatures as they should be dealt with, it’s open season on Whitey.
If you live anyplace that substantial numbers of joggers have infested, your head better be on a swivel and you’d be best ready to defend yourself with whatever it takes.
Christ, if you can’t even hang out on a golf course without worrying about it, no where is truly safe.
It has come to the point that I do not ever leave my apartment—not even to check the mail—without a firearm openly carried. I have had potential joggers avoid me for that reason. I am known around my neighborhood as “that crazy long haired old man who carries a gun.”
Somewhere in the valley in the hot July sunshine, Steve Sailer just got the chills.
Snort. Steve believes in the eternal summer.
Golf courses are a bit too close to home for Stevie.
LOL, he lives down the street from me
In fact, if I do not end up watching the Italy / England soccer match I may go play tennis at the courts by his house.
It looks like the young blacks are right that they have been given the right to kill whites as long as they are the right whites. I imagine that more and more bad whites will be McCloskeyed by the DA and Feds if they fight back
For what it’s worth blacks will generally leave you alone if you look
a) destitute (nothing to steal)
b) angry, savage (or crazy?) enough to fight back
I’ve never had a jogger bother me directly. They pick on the weak or cucked. I am neither and don’t believe in fighting fair when fighting a savage. If a black is within swinging distance he will swing first before you are ready, so the only option is to sucker him first.
Of course we aren’t as heavily infested with them (yet) as the US, nor are they as propagandized.
One thing nice about LA, is that if you live here you 9 times out of 10 have to have your stuff together because otherwise it is too expensive and chaotic and you won’t make it. And there are all different breeds here, so you have to have a little bit of sophistication to navigate it. Goes for all races. So even the blacks around here are a notch above the rabble you get in the small town south, etc. Or Atlanta or NOLA. There you get the low IQ mixed in with city anger and all hell breaks loose.… Read more »
Yep. That’s the point. It matters not at all that many of these joggers might understand that they will be imprisoned for a while—maybe–but their stay in the Big House will be among their own kind. Free food, housing, television, movies (perhaps “Django Unchained” will be shown), weight rooms, library—admittedly not really relevant to them—and many kudus for murdering a racist.
Its often more subtle and pervasive. White mans rules, morality, decorum, everything, are just ghost protocols of a foreign land. Written rules are just wingdings. Pocs carry a kind of diplomatic immunity to the most benign and extreme rules guiding western civ. alike. Like the broken window theories they encroach constantly until a conflict is forced, full knowing their skin immunes them from reproach and licenses them toward any response they see fit. They are at once exempt from half our rules and protected by the other half. At my gym they ignore all the neatly placed signs – of… Read more »
In the book on his journey through Africa, Richard Grant wrote about how Rwanda was by far the most functional country in he traveled through in Sub-Saharan Africa. The strong man had his own version of broken windows. No baggy pants, litter and messy yards were allowed.

Being a liberal he couldn’t allow himself to draw too many conclusions related to the US but this was before the era of BLM and Summer of Floyd so he could… Read more »
It’s hard for average, 100 IQ whites to understand what is, or what isn’t, going through an 80 IQ black criminal’s head.
They basically have none of the same restraints as white people. Totally different thought patterns.
“Sheeit, we free from jail”.
“Ayo, whitey evil [media said so]”
“White man enslaved us! Payback!”
“Dat white girl looking fine, muh dick hard”.
Part of the problem is the feminized society, who naturally think that being “nicer” will be reciprocated. When in reality to tame a wild beast it needs to know who’s in control and which overstepped boundaries result in punishment.
Speaking as one who doesn’t live (or ever has) in a jogger infested locale, it would seem you’d want to treat their low IQ impulsivity, and whatever may be swirling around in the vacuum of their skull, the same way you’d treat a wild animal – with an abundance of caution – particularly these days. Don’t want to become another White casualty in what is becoming an increasingly one sided hot war.
So true. Blacks are not like whites. What we call “Western Civilization” is a creation of white men. Asian civilization has produced nothing but hundreds of millions of—as Aristotle would say—“natural slaves”. Not one Hobbes or Jefferson or Brahe among them. And black…umm…”civilization”—well, name one—just one—thing it has contributed to the betterment of man.
Take your time.
For a period, manual labor. It seemed like a good idea at the time. However, in the end it was a Devil’s bargain, and both parties have ended up much the worse for that. 🙁
Ben, It was the devil’s bargain as you put it because the Whites of the North forgot what the slave of the South was. Even in those times, we had SJW’s who were quite happy to free slaves, endow rights, and unearned privileges to a people with child-like minds.
For a time, it worked since the South suffered the consequences and the North did not. Now everyone suffers the consequences and there is no end in sight.
Yep. Foxnews let it slip that blacks overwhelmingly support CRT which is real bad for us. Get your preps now people.
The big question for me is what will the cops do. Woll the cops and feds back up blacks when whites fight back or just vanish.
You’re getting the Delta variant, eh? Over here, we’ve got the Lambda variant now. Wait, which one comes first? Who the hell knows. I was informed the other day that certain educational establishments in the UK were very upset that the Delta variant was still being called the Indian variant. That’s bigotry, you see.
Indeed, whilst Covid has given so much terror and comedy, one thing to note is how even the truest of true believers never hammer on China. Where the ‘WuFlu’ first began. That’s bigotry, you see. Mind you, so is gunning down crackers at the country club.
Hearing about the Lambda variant, or C.37 here too. Looks like another year of lockdowns because black and brown people don’t wash their hands, live in cramped quarters, are not genetically meant to live in northern latitudes, and have generally poor hygiene. I’m basically as worried about COVID-19 and its variants as white person, as I am about AIDS as a straight person. Obviously be cautious and practice basic hygiene/safety.

Now cnn’s ((( medical expert))) is advocating for mandatory jabs. Not that it’s any surprise to us. But with door to door pressure being discussed as well, it’ll be interesting to see how far they’ll go.
I’ve done more reading about the “experimental” nature of the jabs. Yesterday, I was interested in the possibility of looming liability issues if patients didn’t receive special warnings of the experimental nature. Upon reading a bit more, including sample consent forms for the jabs, it seems this is covered at least in part. The patient is supposed to be aware of the “emergency use approval” nature and that normal testing and validation processes are absent. That seems “reasonable” enough to me. You are basically acknowledging you’re a guinea pig. I’ve not seen a “real” investigational/experimental release, but it’s not clear… Read more »

Keep reading the literature as it comes out. Most all of this Covid nonsense is overblown. If you are co-morbid, and you know who you are, get the shot. If you are healthy and not in risk groups, forget it. As far as who needs the shot, last I read, it’s estimated that 80% of the oldsters had at least one shot. That’s more than enough. Bottom line is that data is emerging weekly as to the possible side effects of the vaccine as well as knowledge of real risk of catching Covid with bad outcome. Disclaimer: I had Covid.… Read more »
We’re going to need a longer alphabet as the new “variants” keep popping up.
Maybe we should just code-name them to self-identified genders? I’m told there’s an infinite amount of said genders.
It’s all so tiresome.
The good thing about virus is that it never stops mutating. That’s why flu vaccines only last a season.
This means that this big vaccine rip-off/scare mongering/compliance training, is now a perennial feature of living in the free world.

The odd thing is, that people will adopt a religion. S o the idea that the State can be neutral is a lie. Liberalism leads to what we have now, tyranny!
Exactly. “By their fruits you shall know them.”
Personally think the Mormons are a bit nutty, but you can’t really argue with their (current) cultural success and social capital. If local mores required it, I’d probably join up. What’s to be lost?
Same with the Amish. Even the small hat ethos can have some appeal (though you’d always be an untrusted outsider).
But the “woke” religion of CRT is cultural suicide. Pure nihilism.
Report from the ground – the California and East Coast libs are rapidly consuming that Mormon social capital in Utah and Idaho. In the past couple of decades they decimated Colorado, Oregon, and Washington. Utah, Idaho, and Montana will soon fall. The Southern states are are also under assault from the wave of internal and external immigration. All the remaining regional differences in the USA are being erased overnight.
Judge Smails: Presumably these scum are gravitating toward the cities in these states first? Or have they began permeating into other, more rural, settlements?
I live in rural Western NC. Went to the local river park over the 4th and what did we see? A White Southerner built-and-paid for public park filled with Squatemalans, Mexicans, and other Central American Indians and their cra p music turned up to 11, their stinking grills, and their garbage strewn everywhere.
Few Whites and no blacks to be seen anywhere. White America is dead. Over. Kaput.
What passes for a big city in Idaho (outside of Boise Metro Area – 500,000 people) is a population of 50,000. All regions of the state in towns large and small are experiencing noticable growth in the last 18 months. The assesed value of my house has nearly tripled in the last couple of years which means increased property taxes for a lower quality of life – more traffic, higher crime rate, crowded schools, etc.
I’ve decided not to read any comments if I can quickly tell the comment is just another way of saying “it’s all going to hell in a handbasket”.
At least that’s how I feel at this moment.
Heh. Interesting that your essay talks about the religion of Christ. That your show talks about the religion of the Managers. And that it’s intro also mentioned Object Oriented Programming (OOP) which has some of the most die hard adherents of any field I’ve ever known. For many, it is the silver bullet that solves all.
I don’t mind some OOP, but I have committed the heresy of programming C for too long now. I guess that’s a religion of it’s own too.
Objects (classes, glorified structs with functions in them) are great but inheritence and all that is trash. The backbone should be functional and merely use as many glorified structs as needed.
Hey now, C is a fine fine language to torture yourself with; as is Malbolge and Whitespace.
During my working years, I took courses and even got a BS in Comp Sci. I never had to do any “real” programming* but dabbled in C. I took exactly one non-degree course in C++. One of my favorite sayings is (if I remember it correctly):
C gives you enough rope to hang yourself.
C++ gives you enough rope to bind hand and foot everyone in your neighborhood, rig a three-masted sailing ship and still hang yourself from the yardarm. 🙂
