An important insight of Karl Marx was that rights, as in individual rights established in the law, create inequality. The reason for this is obvious. People are not equal so left to their own devices, they will have different life outcomes. More important, since human society is defined by scarcity, this will inevitably result in the unequal distribution of the benefits of society. A rights regime will impact the distributive choices because the more talented will lay claim to a greater share of benefits.
Communism would solve this problem by first producing superabundance, so that those distributive choices were greatly simplified. Of course, superabundance is only possible when you eliminate gross inequality. This leads to Marx’s expression, “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” This is a main difference with socialism, which seeks to close the gap between the rich and poor through redistribution of wealth.
This is all sounds quaint and a bit nutty in the current age, but it turns out these problems are going to be front and center in the diverse future. If you listen to the diversity warriors, most of what they are saying revolves around what Marxists would have called distributive choices. Instead of thinking about the distribution of benefits based along individual or class lines, like the communists, they think about the problem along lines of group identity.
The logic flows from egalitarianism. If all people are equal, inequality must be the result of something other than nature. Individual choice can explain differences in individuals, but what explains measurable differences in groups of people? The only option once you eliminate the obvious is the structure of society itself. The reason blacks, for example, are overrepresented in prison is the criminal justice system distributes justice unequally between the races.
This is what the diversity warriors mean when they talk about whiteness or white supremacy culture. These are the unwritten rules of society that benefit one group over other groups. Since it is white societies that make this form of madness possible, they naturally conclude that white society is the problem. As insane as it is, the diversity warriors are not irrational. From their starting premise, theirs is the only rational answer for why we have inequality in our societies.
This is why conservatives are worthless against these arguments. Here is a “conservative case for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” post in National Review that is a good example of the problem. The author thinks there is some accommodation within his conventional American view of politics for the politics of diversity. He assumes that these people will accept equality of opportunity, when in fact they view that argument as the problem they are seeking to eliminate.
This is the central problem of diversity. Scarcity is a permanent feature of all human societies, even wealthy ones. For example, there is a finite amount of health care in America, which means some people get less, maybe even no health care, while others get the heath care they need. Since there are still some market forces at work, rich people will get luxurious levels of health care. Dick Cheney, for example, was able to buy a heart for himself.
Further, Mother Nature does not distribute her gifts equally among people, so no two people are identical and no two groups of people are equal. Combined with the scarcity problem, it means there will be an unequal distribution of benefits between people and also groups of people. Even more important, the more diverse your society, the less equal the outcomes appear. The reason is there are lots of people with a grievance for not being in the top group of society.
The way to think of it is this. In 1950’s America, blacks were a little more than 10% of the population, while whites were a little less than 90%. There was a small percentage of Asians and other. In a world where 10% of the population has a racial grievance, most of the rest can safely ignore the complaints. In a majority-minority society, the majority always has a beef with the minority group at the top, so that minority group must always be on guard against the majority.
This is why the arguments in favor of natural rights or equal opportunity sound increasingly ridiculous to people who live in the world. To conservatives they make perfect sense, because their income depends upon maintaining these fictions. To the diversity warriors, these arguments are confirmation that they have the morally superior argument and therefore they are justified in pushing even harder. The conservative case for diversity is exactly what it claims.
Instead of letting nature take its course, the Marxists imagined an administrative state making the distributive choices. It was this managerial layer that would determine “according to his needs” issue. The diversity warriors have assumed control of the managerial state and the corresponding administrative state. They are now proceeding to remedy the equality problem. From each race according to their abilities, to each race according to their needs.
Of course, this has no better chance of working than Marxism. Unlike communism, however, this new egalitarian drive will not just make people poorer. It will unleash the passions of cultural differences that cannot be remedied. These differences are the product of thousands of years of separation. This is ultimately the conservative case for diversity. It promises to unleash 10,000 years of evolutionary differences within the confines of Western societies.
This is what makes American conservatism so evil. It is the sugary drink in which the poison of egalitarianism is dosed to society. The diversity warriors believe they are on the side of angels, while the so-called conservative know otherwise, but they choose to cash in on the madness. The simpleton who wrote that NRO piece is too dumb to get this, but his handlers surely know better. Yet, they volunteer to be the willing accomplices to the executioners of Western civilization.

Peter zeihan believes economically, europe, russia, china, and japan didnt have enough children to even be considered for world leaders in the next century.

Unless somebody makes a bold move to recolonize africa for resources, hundreds of millions will probably die off, goes the theory
Nat Review used to have a kind of literary quality, I think.

Death to the think tanks.
Under-remarked point.
It’s obvious that the solution is to breed every one together so that the differences aren’t so stark.
I think that’s precisely what they want — to achieve global communism by breeding the white race out of existence and creating a single, worldwide brown race.
And in the process, placing a very low ceiling on what the human race is capable of. Better that everybody is mediocre at best than anybody be superior. If, throughout history, the human race had been a uniform caramel sludge, there would be very little history, just a dim and dismal trace of mud huts and cassava gruel.
Meanwhile, they’ll intermarry like European potentates in the 18th century, necer sullying their own blood lines.
That’s the Kalergi plan in a nutshell.
There was some tool in the Instapundit comments pumping that, “we’ll all be a shade of brown and live in peace”, never minding that there are already countries that look exactly like that and no one would confuse them with “peaceful”.
It’s obvious to me that actualy won’t work. somolia , syria, lebanon, The congo, and other places where everyone is the same color seem are violent hellholes.. Way to simplistic. the english and irish are all the sme color and look at the peacful history they have.

There was a book published years ago about a white woman taking some kind of melanin pill that turned her skin black so she could experience firsthand, and write about, racism in the 1960’s South, where are those pills today because we need them…
It was a man, John Howard Griffin, who had some kind of treatment to render him able to pass for a black in the South. His book was titled Black Like Me. I read it as a teenager. That was a long time ago, so the details have faded in my mind, but he reported that essentially every white person treated him like proto-dirt. One incident he described that I do remember was encountering a white man who looked vaguely academic, complete with smoking a pipe. Surely this benign contemplative would be sympathetic, or at least not hostile, Griffin figured.… Read more »
Heres a quote from the book: “On a bus trip, Griffin began to give his seat to a white woman, but disapproving looks from black passengers stopped him”

I’m sad because I see this as probably a blunder. Scott Adams has stated on more than one occasion that he was trying to get himself canceled, but I think he may have chosen the wrong hill to die on. The goal should have been to get canceled over statements that would look like common sense to as many normies as possible, in order to draw them in and lead them further. If he had had been canceled for saying something like “I’m pretty sure the police would treat blacks better if they stopped committing so much crime“, or even… Read more »

Well, it looks like the teachers in Rhode Island (??) are going to do student loan forgiveness for all non-white teachers. I think this is a test of the teacher patronage system. Will they accept being left out of the gibs because of their race? Or, will they kiss the feet and accept this as penance for being born white?
The teachers unions are a huge part of the Democrat’s patronage system. It doesn’t seem wise to sew division within it. Unless the plan is to disallow white teachers at some point.
Providence is two-thirds non-White. Rhode Island is below 80 percent White. Some of New England is looking a lot like AINO.
I see. In the city it is majority non-white so the patrons who matter are fortifying themselves. Makes sense. I went from a white pill to a bitter black pill.
Black pills are hard to avoid. Here’s something to whiten it up, though: Puritans will have to pay Mrs. Shaneeka to keep the lil’ chirren retarded.

My impression of most of my fellow humans, unfortunately, is that they can talk themselves into anything. Political philosophies like classical liberalism and Marxism seems to activate the same brain pathways as religious belief.
Indeed, I personally know people who sincerely believe the most absurd nonsense. I’ve learned not to underestimate the incidence of stupidity in prominent places.
The stupid are not surprising. It’s the otherwise intelligent who still swallow the woke that shock me.

From reading todays post and the comments I am convinced there can not be a harmonious society based on diversity in a county or in the world. There will be suppression or slavery of some race, religion or class by a dominant group with all the power.
Diversity and division have the same etymological root. Diversity is the source of all conflict. Always has been. Attempting to structure a society around diversity is folly at best, madness at worst.
White people are in the way of utopian equality. It isn’t logical. But they feel that we are the biggest obstacle to reaching the promised land. As long as there are white people around, inequality persists, so we need to be dealt with. Remember that only white people can be racist. 2016 alerted the elites to the White Person Problem. Trump caused them to freak out and they started attacking us instead of letting us grill ourselves into oblivion. 80 million white people voted for Trump in 2020 in the face of the largest psy-op in history, with the entire… Read more »

To repeat myself, we have such an example as you decry, Ostei, in the last few years with the Boeing 737 fiasco. The plane’s computer control allowed low skilled, poorly trained pilots to literally touch icons on a computer screen for automated take off and landing. Third world airlines loved this as it allowed them to use their own people to pilot such planes. National pride thing. There are videos I’ve seen of US (read White) pilots describing the same freak take off events that caused the two Mid East crashes which shut down the flight certification for the 737.… Read more »
It will be fascinating to see if there is a way for airlines to market their lack of diversity in such a way as to send that message with very plausible deniability of the message being sent. At one point, it would have been possible to point toward a commitment to hiring military veterans as code for “we have White flying you.”
You’ll have to avoid Western airlines. Unlikely that Emirates or Air China will be jumping on the unqualified African pilot bandwagon.
The experience is already much better on foreign airlines. The hostesses on Turkish Airlines are young, smiling, perky white women. Air Canada? More like Selma and Louise, plus Shaniqu’a. And a few flamers as well.
This is a response to Jack’s post about how to market White flight crews. I’m guessing it could be a simple “market solution” where certain (non-US) airlines expand their routes in what might seem implausible ways. Sweden-Air flight 150 from Mexico City to Luzon now boarding, gate 12… Then they just make some totally normal commercials for their airline. Totally normal 1985 style commercials — smiling, pretty white flight attendants, square-jawed ex-military White guy pilots with booming deep voices, totally normal stuff. They would probably need to be non-US companies to get around the AA hiring rules though and having… Read more »
Pozymandius –
One of the Scandinavian airlines made an Ad saying nothing is really Scandinavian. It disavowed the Scandinavian people and culture. Sweden Air may not look like what you think it will look like.
I saw an article today about a British Air flight from Barbados to London and back featuring an all black crew for the first time. They were all so proud celebrating black history mummph. I doubt I could take that step across the threshold. Of course, the usual White cucks were gushing over being able to participate in such an event. Truly pitiful.
(just a little OT about healthcare, in the White world, the US system is the dumbest. Telling to a Finnish, a Danish, an Austrian or even a French than “there’s not enough health ressources for everyone would make them laugh.

While I am generally OK with “inequality,” we now have an inequality that is obscene and more importantly, unjustified. Most people would agree that the 40s-70s was the most prosperous time in American history. During this period, the top marginal tax rate was 90%. America blew that money mostly on retarded stuff like wars and the space program, but it didn’t have to be that way. Some of the money did go to sensible things like infrastructure. This 90% tax rate prevented movie stars, musicians and athletes accumulating obscene fortunes. It also tended to favor smaller-medium size businesses. It also… Read more »

Kinda’ funny that no one even debates if the government SHOULD be able to tax income anymore, just how much they should be able to take.

“ This 90% tax rate prevented movie stars, musicians and athletes accumulating obscene fortunes.” No one paid the 90% rate. Not then, not now. The “loopholes” were many.

WRT wealth—liquid assets, property, cash, house—the top 10% or so have 80%. The bottom 90% can fight over the remaining 20%. That ain’t good, but oddly enough, I’m told it’s not out of line with other countries and previous centuries.
I have no solutions.
It’s no so much the money as it is how business and the wealhy dealt with avoiding the 90% tax. The only people who paid 90% was actors, athletes and musicians. As far as I’m concerned, we should take all of their money and they should be happy that they ain’t strung up from light-poles across the US.
We want people to avoid these taxes by investing in their community. By keeping production in America. By funding basic research.
The bottom 50% hold a whopping 3.3% share of total net worth in this country: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBSB50215
The 50th thru 90th percentile hold 28.7%:
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBSN40188
The top 10% hold 68% of the total net worth (with the 1% holding ~32% of that.)
I don’t have any answers either. But you can see from the charts that this trajectory started more than thirty years ago.
It’s not the 90% tax that’s the big deal, it’s what the effect the top marginal rate had on how business operates. As far as I am concerned, we could launch all that money into the sun. Having such high marginal rates disfavors enormous institutions. Now, granted, there were some very large institutions. But they also spent a lot of their income on funding basic research. There were private labs all over the US.

Yikes. Agree 100% about the war stuff, but gtfo with the anti-space program nonsense.
Just, no.
Yeah, I kinda like having weather satellites, communications satellites, above atmosphere astronomical observatories. In my earliest days, none of those things existed, and only geeks like Arthur C. Clarke even envisioned them as the potentially life saving, and civilisationally enhancing things that they have largely proven themselves to be.
As with all things human, the uses to which space expenditures have been put are doubtless compromised; but on the whole, I think that these monies were well spent to prime the pump for the constructive uses that have eventuated.
There were good aspects to the space program, but a lot of bad aspects too. Going to the Moon was a complete waste. We didn’t even retain the knowledge gained to do it. Even to the extent it created new knowledge, it cost a fortune. Right after the first successful moon landing, Congress was turning NASA into an affirmative action jobs program.

that’s a good thing. it will flush all the “good” whites out of power, and demolish fedgov.
The only thing , that might reverse the current trends before it’s too late, is a complete economic collapse, that will wipe out middle-class people, who both finance and support this system. Fighting with a bunch of Negroes in front of the soup kitchen for bare survival will cure even the most ardent white liberal of his folly. But it must happen over the nest decade or so, before the demographic make-up makes it impossible.
I agree. I think back to what would have happened to “woke” if they had tried it with my ancestors, even just a single generation removed. Hell, the police were so scared of the hill people in the Georgia county where I grew up that Jimmy Carter had to send in the National Guard when he was Governor to close an AMVETS chapter that sold moonshine. The local cops, State Patrol and GBI told him to pack sand. Middle class has too much to lose now, or so they think. Only the poor “white trash” remembers what it’s like to… Read more »

“From each race according to its abilities, to each race according to its needs.” If this is the creed of the diversity warriors, they are not implementing it. Each race is not allowed to contribute according to its abilities. Whites in particular find themselves increasingly stymied at each step by affirmative action and other measures of woke politics. It seems to me that major structures of US society — education, employment, judiciary — are now oriented against them. It also seems to me this whole ideologically incoherent charade is being orchestrated by the chosen ones primarily, with assorted opportunistic fellow… Read more »
Perhaps a more realistic phrasing would be, “…from each race according to its abilities, to each race according to its contributions…”.
How about, “From each race…aw hell…screw it. Send their worthless asses back to Africa where they belong.”
I tend to agree. I’d recommend bringing back “banishment”. Those who commit crime or are hopelessly indigent get bounced pronto—and I don’t particularly care what race they are.
“From each race according to its abilities, to each race according to its needs.” A big problem for us is that most rural and red state people like my Utah have not had extended contact with Blinks. The big church teaches to love one another and be nice! Be Nice! Man oh man…the people back here are sheep wandering blithely among a growing number of wolves. I firmly believe our world is too far gone. No coming out of woke, denying reality, declining IQ and heavy mutational overload until the bottom is within view. We must separate first. Don’t at… Read more »
And you didn’t even mention the worst part, that like the ambitious rock star who gets rich and famous to fill some kind of hole in his soul, it will only get worse for the spiteful mutants if and when they get money and power. We already know this because many of them have money and power and are more miserable and enraged and busybodyish than ever before. We talk a lot about their hatred and jealousy of what white society built, but I think there is also a lot of envy for something simpler that a lot of us… Read more »
“It has to get bad enough that even some of us—after all our tough talk—are going to regret when we go past the event horizon.”
You are absolutely correct. It will be hell. People don’t need to be naive on that point.
GREAT comment.
“We already know this, because many of them have money and power and are more miserable and enraged and busybodyish than ever before”.
No description better describes the Obama than this one.

Influencer behind the scenes? Check
And still, if you ever watch them, they are as miserable and angry as the day is long.
Don’t know about miserable, but definitely angry and ungrateful POSs.
I’d say, more specifically, they need you engaged and fighting back in a channel that you will *lose* at. For example, through the Con-Inc framework. Or, through some “facts and logic” debate, where you debate in good faith and they debate in bad faith. Always ceding to their morality, as well. Once you start fighting back in an un-approved method, they completely flip their shit. The only place I’ve seen truly broken white men is in Cuba. Thin, miserable, and sickly with their mulatta wife and kids. They gave up. To be fair, so did every mixed person. That’s probably… Read more »
B125: Big difference between the South African Boers and the South African English. There is no English-language version of Orania.
Does anyone have any idea what accounts for this discrepancy?
Yep. I have long believed that the “Marxist” nations of the 20th century “jumped the shark” so to speak by imposing “communism” in agrarian societies with a history of despotic rule rather than in industrial, advanced societies. Marx was pretty clear that communism was only going to happen after capitalism created wealth that communists could then proceed to expropriate. What we are seeing in the West today is a racialized communism where race is a proxy for class struggle, where you have a brown lumpenproletariat demanding redistribution of wealth from the white bourgeoisie who created it (or, more accurately in… Read more »

You are being told what you want to be told as a means of mesmerizing & hypnotizing you into obeyance.

comment too short
The issue is not so much Marx as Hegel, who Marx derived his philosophy from. We on the DR openly admit that white societies are more “advanced” and “developed” than primitive nonwhite ones, economically, scientifically, etc.
What, then, is the endgame and purpose of such development? Marx merely argued that in a materialistic society, it was communism. He may have been wrong about that, but what is our response?
Is Drag Queen Story Hour the ne plus ultra of the development and advancement of Western civilization?
Xman: “but what is our response?”
THAT IT’S ALL A PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE CAMPAIGN DESIGNED TO MESMERIZE & HYPNOTIZE OUR RACE INTO SUBMISSION & SLAVERY & ERADICATION & EXTINCTION.
Drag Queen Story Hour is bait. They are fishing for some White to react in a way that can be used for media propaganda and regulation justification.
The weirdos do it because they are weirdos and they like sticking it to normal people. The people at the top use weirdos as a free proxy army.
As I have heard it articulated now and again, some people just want to see the world burn. These people are destroyers, but oh so useful to those who can slyly use these destroyers toward their own ends. Now those are the people who need to be sanctioned.
DEI Version 1.0 was pretty harmless, because it was like the playground cars that have fake steering wheels for children – the “Diverse” think they are driving, but it’s not a real car. The Whites are the mothers at the playground making sure diapers are changed and nobody gets hurt. Version 2.0, ongoing now, is where White guys in the background spend all day fixing the new problems the “Diverse” crowd creates, while in the meantime trying to keep the old machinery of society running. Think air-traffic control tower meets Popeye’s Fried Chicken drive-thru on Saturday night. Or Chicago. Version… Read more »

There will be no ethnic European awakening or voting block. More than half of the white race would rather die than be racist.
The closest block that actually exists is the global warming-ists, who are voting to tear down the electrical grid.
Agree. Between Wealthy White liberals, Evangelicals, and Sportsball Normies, there will be no “awakening” for Whites. Only eventual extinction.
The DR has easily doubled in the last 5-7 years. Perhaps more, it’s hard to say for sure. It wasn’t that large before. The ramping up anti white pogrom won’t do anything to reverse that trend.
They can’t stop whites from concluding the same thing I did: There’s no upside in being a “good white”
Elon Musk just tweeted in favor of Scott Adams.
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1629764614870167552
This is starting to feel eerily Q-ish…
My beautiful White colleague is as woke as they come. I do not foresee her waking from her woken stupor. However, that does not mean a significant number of other WWs will not awaken. As much as I would like all Whites to awaken, we only need a sufficient number to do so. That is not impossible.
We do disagree on this point. It is starting to take form now. I am not referring to electoral politics, to be clear, as much as overall societal change. I don’t even think I appreciate how bad it is about to come, but that is the necessary component. All of the White groups you correctly identified will be among those hardest hit. We may even be surprised with how quickly they come around although I agree it likely will be kicking and screaming.
With all due respect to our esteemed host, Scott Adams is not only the story of the day, but the most important story of the year to this point. He said precisely what the DR has been saying for the past decade, and has thus far refused to recant and grovel. What’s more Musk has risen to his defense. Despite the Power Structure’s strenuous attempts to quarantine the truth about Hutus and their malevolence, the truth is now out in the open. A man with a megaphone subverted the anti-white/Hutuphilic narrative, and now I suspect a great many Grillers will… Read more »
The Adams story is an inflection point, I think. A primary difference with Kanye West, and the most important one, is Musk taking up the cause. The nightmare scenario for the Junta is that the “is it OK to be White?” question may be posed to those who matter. Asking that question more than the answer itself is devastating to the cause of silent genocide. The Regime may have learned from West that fading to black (heh) works best, but that requires almost universal cooperation. As you note, these types are so impulsive it undermines them, so wealth appropriation probably… Read more »
Ostei: The issue with Adams, as I noted elsewhere, is not even just what may happen to him personally. The left will come after everyone he’s ever known, and every family member he has. Got in a fight in 3rd grade? They’ll track him down to get a quote that Adams’ has always had anger issues. Didn’t date blaq women in college? Rayciss. I recall reading somewhere that the defunct blogger In Mala Fide quit because after he was doxed, they came after his young nieces and nephews. Sure, Adams has plenty of money. But banks make errors, accounts get… Read more »
The rampant childlessness and atomization have made people far less fragile, so that’s one good result of a societal tragedy. The more anti-fragile the more dissident someone can be. It may be better than FU money. As best as I can tell, Adams is childless, twice divorced and has FU money. This may explain why he hasn’t caved. And, yes, the Soviet-style State probably will seize his assets.
As an aside, the bigoted hate group ADL has denounced “it’s OK to be White” as “hate speech.” The ADL doesn’t think it is OK to be White.
The ADL is the hate group of all hate groups, and the group they hate most is the white race.

Yeah, he knows a few things about the nuggras they don’t teach you at Yale, just alike all those white southern octagenarians.

Never heard of the guy until perhaps a week ago and then he’s in my face every day when I peruse their headlines. I guess the Silicon… Read more »
I haven’t kept up with this dude, either, but is he globbing onto the “(I)t’s OK to be White” meme? As someone pointed out, the Subcons are dimmer than our original enemies but far, far more numerous. Those I’ve encountered are totally obsequious, and that’s apparently more than my anecdote.
We had a “Subcon” as you call them run for the US Senate here in TN a couple of years’ ago. Fortunately he lost in the primary. A young guy, a DOCTOR! (so were his immigrant parents!) Ivy League education, nice-looking wife. Went to a rally in our town. He spoke warmly of his growing up in a small-ish place a couple of counties away. Got a cheer from some guys in the audience he said he went to “high school” with, to give him some yokel creds. I did a little investigation and learned his “high school” was a… Read more »
Dr. Dre: It’s definitely an observable pattern. JD Vance, parlaying his ‘hillbilly’ cred by currying favor with the elite crowd while marrying a subcon. A number of DR websites were pushing an Arkansas candidate in 2022 (cannot recall his name) whose mother was a local but father was an immigrant subcon. All in the supposed cause of conservatard/White rights. It sickens me.
Whites have got to learn to take their own side.
No substitutions, no half measures.
I know that Scott Adams has received quite a bit of “grifter” accusations on this comment board, but he has put his $$$ where his convictions dwell. He had to have known that he would be subject to the Torquemada of the SJW sect, but he told the truth anyway. Admittedly he may have enough FU money to not care about a few newspapers, but still, it was a ballsy move.
Grifter or not, Adams actually is quite incisive about persuasion. He has made “it’s OK to be White” into a national conversation. That’s a win. The slogan actually predates “Black Lives Matter” and similarly was designed to force denials of its assertion.
Making the assertion or asking if it is OK to be White is the win, not the answer.
“As insane as it is, the diversity warriors are not irrational.” Amen. I live in the heart of social justice country. My friends, acquaintances and colleagues believe, though they don’t always seem conscious of it or articulate it, that for so very long whites, more so male whites, more so straight male whites, and now more so straight, Christian, male whites have had an unfair advantage in the distribution of material wealth and social benefits never mind who may have created the bulk of that wealth and those benefits. Now it’s time to correct this maldistribution via “equitizing” (reversing) it.… Read more »
The SWJ’s are religious fanatics. They believe because it makes them holy.
They believe that today because there is no cost to them to believe it. In fact, there are gains – social status; feeling of moral superiority. As soon as there is a high cost to them they will no longer believe. Of course that depends on the cost as well. If the cost is that their male child hates them, it won’t bother them in the least. One of the challenges our side is going to have is in channeling the anger of our young people toward our foes rather than revenge against their parents who left them for dead.… Read more »

The diversity people are entirely correct, though. The rules we have, especially the ones that insist they are merit-based or equality-of-opportunity, are exactly the ones most suited for White people.
A merit-based system will necessarily lead to exactly the differences in achievement we observe between blacks and Whites, and blacks are entirely correct to refuse the conservative argument that a merit-based system is fair. A game where you never ever win is not one you want to play because it isn’t fair.
Which is why separation is the only possible alternative. I have long tried to explain to conservatives that nobody on the left, especially blacks, is interested in a merit-based society, because they no, even if they won’t say, that the vast majority of blacks have lower merit. The sort of White or Hispanic or Asian who gravitates to the left is also either the low merit type, or simply Machiavellian — they know how the game is played against Whites (esp. straight males) and they have no moral compunction against taking advantage out of it. They don’t share conservative Whites’… Read more »
Bad or good, and it is quite good in my opinion, the partition is taking place even now and accelerating. That train has left the station.
Such a “partition” will produce “homelands” which will attract those living outside of such. In a few generations, there will be less and less racial mixture throughout these areas as people sort themselves out accordingly. Trick is to not forget why these places were created in the first place and lose them through alien migration as we have the entire USA in three short generations.
Whites still think that’s the game we’re playing, they’re getting crushed, and they think it’s legitimate. That’s the real insanity.
Blacks do win, though, just not as much as the more capable. The modern Americanized African is the fattest most spoiled-rotten African that has ever been or ever will be again after when this vile empire of lies, usury, and sodomy twitches its last death throe.
Oh, but it is fair. What is unfair is taking from the competent, the intelligent, the lawful and the productive, and giving to the incompetent, the stupid, the criminal and the indolent. Nuggras don’t want fairness; they want what rightfully belongs to us.
In our circles there’s a lot of talk about the problems resulting from Abraham Lincoln not sending the slaves back to Africa as he wrote in 1857.
A bigger issue, I think, is Hart-Celler in 1965. A close to 90 percent White America with 10 percent blacks, and a small amount of other races was a problem, but it was manageable.
And then the gas was thrown into the fire.
What was unleashed after 1965, opening the door wide open to all the people of the world is a disaster, making no chance for a harmonious society.
It’s underappreciated that the so called Greatest Generation was primarily responsible for this. The Boomers hadn’t even started college yet.
I just wish they’d finally wake up, but I get that money talks. It’s the conservative case for conservatism, when you get down to it.
Thanks. Appreciate that something was found for which my generation didn’t get the blame 🙂
No, it was the post-War failure to remove that group from society. As the catastrophe engineers say, nature always provides a spark. The usual suspects will always be looking for chances to create mischief and the solution is to remove as many oil-soaked rags from the garage as possible, rather than try to keep every possible spark from happening.
I mean, Brown vs. Board of Education pre-dates the immigration act, right?
“Remove that group from society.” At first I thought you meant blacks. I get it. Good point.
The way I read it, nuggras = oil-soaked rags, Finkels = sparks.
And there’s no way it can be fixed without blowing up the current social order…Affirmative action is already making everything in the US less and less functional, and eventually completely non-functional like South Africa…

Simultaneous with Hart-Cellar was the rise of ideological multiculti, which stated that no culture was superior to any other. All were equal. Clearly, this bit of sophistry was intended to dethrone white culture and elevate negro savagery. Acceptance was a 44 mag round in the guts of America.
The woman in the article is a perfect metaphor for much that is wrong on our society – a queer female of color grifter with a weird unamerican name. Checks all the boxes for sure. Of course, floyd wasn’t murdered and there is no “legacy of slavery” – that’s just more bs to browbeat the declining White population into submission, which have no doubt, is the ultimate goal. And if you can make a solid six figure income cashing in on the chaos, what the heck, right? It’s the new “American” way.
I never hear anybody saying ‘diversity is our strength’ anymore. I used to hear it all the time in the 90s (when the GR was just getting ramped up). It could be that I’m not exposed to the media where it’s being said, but I wasn’t all that plugged into the media back then either.

If all groups are equal, but you have unequal outcomes, it’s because of systemic racism which is created by white people. White people, whether they know it or not, are racist and their racism spreads throughout the system. Unless whites can be taught to stop being… Read more »
So, the entire NR article is basically a lavish tongue bath for a stateless piece of mystery meat named Irshad Manji But should talk of diversity and inclusion be completely off the table in conservative circles?

It did seem a tad random.
DIE is a wholly appropriate acronym for this movement…Society can’t long survive the promotion of imbeciles to important positions..The Marching Morons was great fiction, but that society would have become rapidly extinct…..
Because of its appropriateness, they insist on spelling it DEI. Spelling it DIE is a potent little rhetorical ploy not unlike “It’s okay to be white.”
What makes it worse is you constantly here “systemic”, or even “systematic” racism thrown around all the time. There’s never a clear definition of it. It is always changing. That’s because it doesn’t actually exist. There are no laws preventing blacks from doing things, in fact there is exactly the opposite. The reality that is considered heresy is that blacks as a group are unable to perform in a civilized, western society. They do not belong in one and are better suited for the savagery required in the jungles of Africa where they belong. No matter how many advantages or… Read more »

Even if you dispense with egalitarianism and let nature take its course, so that the more talented rise to the top and lay claim to a greater share of benefits, you’ve still got a problem if society is structured is such a way that the more successful you are the more inconvenient you find it to have children. A different problem to be sure, but still a problem. Note that this will be a problem even in societies totally lacking in ethnic diversity, but that, as with everything, diversity makes it worse.
“the more successful you are the more inconvenient you find it to have children”
True, so let’s take a page from the Left and re-define success as having children. It’s not even a redefinition.
We have not as a society created the right incentives for bring children into the world—especially when you have successful White families with the mother working a full-time job to make ends meet. Of course, the second problem immediately rears—that of minorities taken increased advantage of such programs.
A number of states, most recently Hungary, have used the state to incentivize having children. How ’bout for every child that you have and raise till the age of 10, while staying with the husband, is another year of free college at any institution whose standards you can meet? Or, you family, provided that it remains intact, never pays taxes again. Of course, the real solution is to control the media. Someone almost always does. Further, most people, even intelligent people, do not have the ability or time to think independently. So, most people have their values dictated to them… Read more »
It’s easy to be an armchair general and tell countries what they should do, but a lot of advanced countries are now making serious efforts to increase their birthrates, and so far nobody is having much success.

This is why Steve Sailer, regardless of his shortcomings, is to be commended for pointing to the population boom in subsaharan Africa as the most critical statistic in the world.
You are onto something here. The incentives you mention are perhaps of the type that will not enthuse minorities as much as Whites. There are others of the negative sort as well. Even ignoring race, there are perhaps certain incentives that just make sense like no children, no social security.
In reference to the point on diversity warriors utilizing Marx, If you want to understand any “ism,” all you need to do is have a basic understanding of Marx and apply the protected class for the economic group. CRT and post-colonial simply substitute a race or ethnic group for the proles. Sexism – put in women. Age – put in old people. Trans – put in trans. With that rough substitution, you will have a pretty solid grasp of the belief system, such as it may be.
The thing I don’t get is what self government has to do with egalitarianism.
Isn’t that easy, though? By what right do you claim self-rule is legitimate?
Isn’t the answer based on some natural right or some concept that each man is legitimately entitled to have a say in government? Well, there you go.
It’s based on American political culture, which grew up far away from the Crown and the Church. People had to govern themselves.
There were nonstop governors appointed by the Crown in Virginia from 1624. Colonial governors in Maryland from 1692, and prior to that it was governors appointed by the Catholic Calvert family who owned the colony.
Etc. & etc.
How did that work out?
And for that matter, how is reverse-engineering the American ‘libertarian’ streak onto the Old World working out? We aren’t a stable empire, and the rest of the world needs a stronger central authority imo.
