From time to time, I have mentioned that when it comes to politics, most people use their stupid brain rather than their everyday brain. You see it with the Harvard case where conservatives are celebrating over the ouster of the plagiarizing president, as if this will make any difference to them. Harvard will just replace one antiwhite bigot with another antiwhite bigot, probably one even more nasty than Gay.
It is not that conservatives are stupid, although many of them are quite stupid, it is that they slip into political brain when they look at this issue, rather than use their normal brain that they use everywhere else in their life. Even the people protesting pornography in the schools figured out that it was not just the books, it was the people on the school board that was the problem.
Dissidents like to quote Carl Schmitt about politics being about friends and enemies, but in many respects, this is bad for dissidents. Inside conventional politics it is fine to play Cowboys and Indians, but for dissidents this is a danger. It is how weirdos and lunatics turn up in the ranks and how otherwise useless people make themselves into influencers until they are revealed to be nuts.
That is the show this week. It is about cases where we should put aside our pollical brain and use our normal brain to avoid problems. The tool that helps us navigate the world and avoid dealing with crackpots or getting sucked into to a terrible idea can also help us filter out the same things in politics. We just have to stop thinking politically and instead think like a normal person when it comes to politics.

In a predictably recursive twist, the show this week rather partakes of the very problem it attempts to describe, viz. the limitations of domain-bound approaches to holistic problems. There are reasons other than “political brain” for people to be concerned about things like Harvard’s president, the Middle East, and Ukraine. These aren’t simply tokens on a political scoreboard; they have profound real-world effects that are quite serious, even if the discursive treatment of them unfortunately isn’t. The role of the concerned critic is to elevate the discourse to match the gravity of events, not to depreciate the events to match… Read more »
It is indeed an open question if modernity, as we have come to know it, can exist without the presence of some globe spanning empire to enable it. But to listen to you, one gets the sense that the recklessness of the GAE in bringing on its own demise is somehow dissidents’ fault. Regarding the fate of empire, we are irrelevant. The fringe of the fringe. The North American dissident knows that, unlike the vast majority of countries, AINO is indeed exceptional, in that it has all the resources it needs to be a self sustaining modern state without need… Read more »
Thank you for your reply, JZ. While the state of the world is not the dissidents’ fault, the state of the criticism most certainly is. A body of work that shows deep understanding; that is beautiful, profound, courageous, and self-evidently superior; and that demonstrates competence in handling the problems of late imperial collapse, would be the strong horse that really draws people into its orbit. You aren’t going to get that with warmed-over New Atheism and HBD sperg-outs. The true task of dissidentism is to form, as it were, a shadow government of sound and virtuous men to serve as… Read more »
Another thing: Once DIE elevates a sufficient percentage of incompetents to leadership/management, then the system becomes incapable of reforming itself. In academia, we could very well already be there.
For decades I’ve pointed out the Ivy League and many other so-called, “top flight” schools are utter jokes in terms of their operations and product output.
On a personal level, I’m glad the world is finally catching up to my correct perception.
Unfortunately, the reality of the DIE mess in academia, business, and government is going to have dire consequences for the GAE and everyone living in it.
What “radicalized” me, made me a “dissident,” was arriving at my assigned Ivy three decades ago and finding that everyone there was a fucking idiot (except like three dudes).
I enjoy ID’s comments, but the very big thing they entirely exclude is the (I think) fact that the project to end civilization forever has already succeeded, long before almost anybody even noticed that it was a possibility.
But, for the average person (present company included), these topics are so far above their figurative paygrade that it is akin to being worried about the sun’s output. Hence, no reason to get riled up about them.
Philosophy ain’t squat.
Penetrating observation, Professor Dilthey.
Hahah, “creepy little Hobbit dude…” Eh, there are a lot of manlets on this side of things. Always has been present to some extent. In Shapiro’s case, the enthusiasts sputter “Jews backed him! What..how do you think he got in…eh? THE JQ JQ JQJQJQ…whoa, Abby, hello there *boing**fap**fap*fap*fap*fap*…” Well, sure if you ignore the other 99% of the conservative influencer grift who aren’t Jewish and who aren’t much better built than Benny boi. Quite a few notable retards come to mind. Fun ‘tards at times, but still tards.
This whole segment is like a big fat burn notice. lol
Pay heed.
And I can’t wait for Zman to acquire a slight accent, if he will, some people never do, but places can change you.
Good to have you back, Z! I know, you’d be shocked, shocked, shocked with the tales I could tell about the assorted whackadoodles I met when I was active in the Libertarian Party. Though not the kind I’d socialize with in other situations, I find those sorts of people amusing. There were a handful of sensible folks in the mix, people like Ron Paul and Tom Woods, but I guess it says something about my psychology that I stuck with it so long. I enjoy the kooks, but it’s the sellouts, like the Reason and Cato crowd, that finally got… Read more »
Harvard is just the tip of the iceberg. Situated at the top of the pyramid, Harvard represents the entire world of academia in a nutshell. What goes on at Harvard cascades to all the other educational institutions. The Left-Wing control of the academic world is not as serious as the Left-Wing control of television. You could argue that both the world of movies and the world of universities are not all that relevant. TELEVISION is the big force multiplier. I have harped on this before. Most people watch hours of TV a day. They spend their lives saturated in the… Read more »
They don’t call it TV ‘programming’ for nothing.
The viewer is being programmed.
Enjoyed the intro and the exit music.
Never really know what you’re going to get here, bumper music-wise.
Kinda like a box a chocolate.
I think Sailer got the Covid thing wrong because he is a science/IQ worshiper. The mRNA vaccines were touted as this whiz kid, futuristic technology developed by people with lots of letters after their names that was going to end the pandemic. He also had his cancer cured years ago by a new cancer drug (Rituxan), which seems to have biased him towards Pharma. Science in the abstract is fine; science in the non-abstract is something else, distorted by commercial and ideological motivations, both of which played out in the Covid catastrophe.
I used to think his problem was being a sucker for calculation, regardless of the trustworthiness of the initial data or the calculability of the problem—common nerd error, worst contemporary example “Scott Alexander” (Steve’s strongest man-crush).
Now I think he falls for everything Twitter women fall for because he’s a Twitter woman. He “predicted” (after it was already accomplished in elite circles he knows nothing about) the trooning of America because he wished for it. The elite position he resents society for unjustly denying him is autogynephile sociopath.
“autogynephile sociopath”
I wonder who got moar v@xxines as a child: Scott Adams or Steve Sailer?

Some people knew and didn’t mind being experimented on for humanities sake and for ‘progress’. But most people probably didn’t realize that aspect of it.
This month is supposed to be the end of the EUA experiment. I wonder what they have found out. They won’t tell us now, will they? But we remember they are supposed to, or so they said.
“we shouldn’t be talking about Israel or the Ukraine as long as the border is open” Word!! Demographics is the most important issue of all. About litmus tests I don’t know if I have them but maybe I do. The thing is though, my positions on things move as things change. Bur more importantly as I realize more and more how crazy this all is. I keep shocking my old self but OTOH my old self has views incongruent with a collapsing civilization.

Just finished watching “Children of Men” and it seemed eerily omniscient, what if to our horror, only dark skinned illegals had the capacity to deliver live babies. In my area, the only children I see are offspring of Mormons or Mexicans. Intelligent white hetero couples see all too well what kind of a world they would bring children into and have opted for partying on the edge of the cliff so to speak, who can blame them?
I think the mail order euthanasia kits will become a real thing
Canada is the test bed for runaway euthanasia programs. There’s the problem of false information but as I understand depression, homelessness, PTSD have all been grounds for killing people in Canada.
What is happening is satanic
” Intelligent white hetero couples see all too well what kind of a world they would bring children into and have opted for partying on the edge of the cliff so to speak, who can blame them?”
That right there is the opening scene of “Idiocracy”.

Being demographically invaded is about as bad as can be
Not all vax batches may have been equally bad. We will have to wait and see what happens with the vaxx time bomb. But it looks to be another major thing.
A bit of a TLDR non-sequitur re “ethno-nationalism” in theory vs application In theory, sounds great I guess, but when I’m out and about i see plenty of whites I wouldn’t want to necessarily have as neighbors, not even addressing the leftist component Also, I visited family in my old hometown over the holiday. Aside from the recent mestizo influx it is pretty well 50/50 black and white. I always dread going out to restaurants as I don’t know what random person from the past I might see. While out this time I ran into a black guy I went… Read more »
Race realism doesn’t deny that there are intelligent and “nice” negros. Even the (many) feral ones are capable of comporting themselves the majority of the time. If you’ve ever seen the movie The Last King of Scotland, whether intentionally or not it makes the point that Idi Amin was a swell guy 98% of the time.
Whites may have dumb political ideas and such, but they are a whole lot less likely to shoot and rob you. They are more trainable. It just so happens that these days many of them are getting poor training.
Being a Southerner I hate the term “white trash”, but I was referencing that type moreso. A given I would lock the gate on the shitlibs! Hahaha.
One thing I know about white trash is they won’t hate me just for being white. Can’t say the same for any other group. Even any other group of whites.
You should seriously reexamine your priors on that one.
Believe me ID, when it comes to white trash, I don’t have any prior assumptions, only prior experience
I believe what you’re describing would be referred to around here as the IKAGO dilemma. I struggle too.
James
You are correct.
They are anecdotal and statistical anomalies.
After over 3 decades working in the most violent and dangerous part of the city, I can confirm the area was such because….they are violent, dangerous creatures.
There’s a reason JJ told the story of how, when hearing footsteps coming towards him at night, he would be relieved to discover they were whites.
Joe is Joe. It’s their nature to be subhuman. There is a reason Africa is still in the Stone Age.
James Proverbs: We’ve all met and dealt with those famous ‘exceptions.’ The point is, though, they are exceptions. The different racial bell curves are real. The bigger problem with these supposed exceptions, though, is that people don’t think through what it would mean long term. If you have a 95% White community and 5% of various-hued ‘exceptions,’ what accommodations will they demand and will the White majority be guilted into making? Special blaq holidays? Special mention of their patron saint MLK? Teaching all the White children that all the blacks are equally special exceptions and there’s only a handful of… Read more »
^^^. This. Spot on. Also, as nice as your black friend seems on the surface, behind closed doors he hates you and wants you dead. He supports political candidates because they look like him and not because they’re good for “America”. He will ALWAYS side with his own in a situation that involves you and another fellow feral. He views himself as a victim of “White supremacy”. You’re falling for the same thing that color blind civ nats fall for. He can’t deny his DNA. At the heart of it he’s a low impulse control, violent savage. Given the opportunity… Read more »
You said it better than I did earlier.
Thank you.
To be fair, the problem hasn’t been the existence of the minority, but the forced integration and promotion of them. Minorities have been present in America since its founding, but the forced integration and promotion has been relatively recent. Given that removal is highly unlikely for the foreseeable future, efforts should be focused killing AA and promoting freedom of association.
Ask him about the OJ verdict.
White people, Americans full stop, wanted OJ to be innocent. It’s a damned shame.
Isn’t there sufficient evidence that a mere 2% of the wrong people can be devastating?
A complaint I’ve heard many times about Japan, a near-ideal country where I lived for a few years (and don’t now because I’m not Japanese), is about the gruesomeness of its criminal violence. Japanese gang and serial killings, unsolved disappearances and unidentified remains that imply horrors unimaginable, and kidnap-torture-rape-murders (of schoolgirls who were just walking by!) are legendary. Why? Why are THEY LIKE THIS?! Considered for a just moment, the illusion fades: If you get murdered in Japan, a *murderer* did it. Yuto the Ripper got you because who else would? Whereas if you got killed in America, it was… Read more »
It’s weird because as awful as some black people can are, they’ve also been among the most outgoing and kindest folks I’ve ever met, even in the current day. White people, sad to say, have mostly become paranoid even about their fellow whites. But just last weekend, a black fellow sitting next to my wife and I and the theater turned to us and said, “wasn’t that an awesome movie we just saw?” His enthusiasm was very endearing. Says something about having, on average, a higher tolerance for risk, even if it’s just social risk.
He probably watches interracial rough sex videos on line though, just know it can be that way.
Right, you have to take into consideration someone being from the north or the west and telling you about race relations or class distinctions or what’s considered a good price for a home. It’s lame and should be called out.
Great show to kick off the new year. I can tell from the tunes that you’re truly embracing the hillbilly culture!
Deke Dickerson for the closer. Hell yeah! You are totally out of Lagos now, Z.
The “rabbit out of a hat” problem works on all levels including the highest. Who had heard of Obama before 2007? A French friend of mine says no one knew who Macron was six months before he was handed France’s nuclear codes. That’s some rise. It’s all fake and gay
They both came straight off the WEF production line.
Totally manufactured ‘presidents’.
Barry Soetoro was groomed from jump. Mommy probably a CIA ass-set, as well as being a Subud nutbar.
“Ben Shaprio, that creepy little…hobbit dude.”
I can sense when Zman wants to go full comment section but holds back.
Apparently I lack a Political Brain, because my first question whenever someone new suddenly pops up is, “Who’s funding him?” Had this happen with the local ballot. Shiny New conservative candidate pops out of nowhere, vying against our established hard-ass conservative congresscritter. Shiny New said all the right things. Blue collar working man, hard-rock miner, knows the score, etc etc. Well, through the simple expedient of backtracking the outfit that paid for his mailing, I discovered that his major backer was the AFL-CIO. Yeah, just who I’d expect to back a GOP, wouldn’t you? Concluded Shiny New was probably a… Read more »
An off topic question to the class;
Did Raconteur Report go off the rails, or was I just way too brainwashed to see through it in my past?
No, you’re right, Aesop went sideways. Before CoVid, he was mostly solid so far as I could tell, but about that time, he went off-the-wall nuts. My guess is he loved calling people names so much that he started posting what he knew was crap just so he could make fun of people with reasonable arguments and questions. But lately I’ve been wondering how much of his earlier stuff was right, too. Was his take on Ebola right, or was that as batshit crazy as his take on CoVid? If it were half as bad as he claimed, most of… Read more »
Dood went loco on me a few weeks back because I told him something that apparently he did not want to hear.
I didn’t even know who he was until then.
He went totally nuts. His Russia hatred made me think he’s probably Jewish but I honestly don’t know
That thought crossed my mind as well. He is definitely a war monger. He went absolutely mad dog vicious when he was challenged as to his “Russia blue up the pipleine” nonsense.
I mean blew up.
‘Blowwwwed up, sir!!!!’
Stripes.
“Blowed up real good!”. SCTV
Very much doubt he’s of the Tribe since is some kind of ER or ICU Nurse and must actually get his hands dirty doing his day job. Presumably became one via military and GI Bill. So even less likely. Just a Boomer Nutter who can’t move on from the old world commie hatred. People do get stuck in mental ruts as they age. More so often if they’ve lived for long periods under very high stress levels… Prolonged stress seems to cut a deep groove I’ve noticed. Perhaps also a Pole or something similar to add spice to the Russophobia.… Read more »
Anonymous Conservative is the other one you’re thinking of. Maybe Exhibit A for taking what you can use and leaving the rest.
I’d be very careful about misunderestimating Anonymous Conservative.
Yes, he’s cray-cray.
But also, yes, his underlying thesis is undeniably true: They’re watching everything we do.
In fact, some d@mned gl0wn!gger at L@ngley or F0rt Me@de or C@mp Wi11iams is undoubtedly watching my fingers type these words in real time.
If you check out the title assigned to his post at WRSA, Aesop: Lying with Half-Truths – ironic if ever there were – I think you will have your answer.
I started to read that post from Aesop, but after it became clear that it was a self-indulgent exercise in out of control invective, I skipped to the comments for light instead of his unrelenting, incandescent hatred. Some commenters tried to introduce counterarguments (a big concession on their part given that to which they were responding…) but were usually greeted with another tsunami of hatred for their pains.
Speaking of people with dubious backgrounds suddenly arising as political favorites because of how they talk, I give you Vivek Ramaswamy.
Or even, dare I say it, Donald Trump
Actually, Trump had been peripherally involved for a long time. There’s video of his congressional testimony from 40 years ago where he’s saying the exact same things he did when he campaigned, and talks about how to fix what was going wrong.
Vivek, tho… talks a lot, doesn’t say anything. That is, says what people want to hear, has no solutions.
“talks a lot doesn’t say anything”
Like many a CEO.
He’s the other tribes replacement for kameltoe.
Nobody beat Obama for that honor.
BO rose to prominance not because of how he talked, but because of who he represented and who he hated.
Ostei: Obama was also helped and pushed hard by certain people, who made sure an opponent’s divorce records were publicized, who funded opposition research, and who smoothly sidetracked any questions about his beginnings and background. He was the perfect Golem.
I definitely would never say that the rise of the greatest teleprompter speaker of all time had nothing to do with how he talked
Gespenst: Yes. Came out of nowhere, lots of unexplained and questionable issues about his supposed background, and suddenly he’s a voice for White people? Color me utterly unconvinced. Normiecon is falling for it as usual, of course – they all want him to be Trump’s VP. Because having a first generation hindoo ‘murrican is totally conservative and perfectly illustrates purported Principles r Uz.
A glance at his face is disqualification enough, but the Vivek of only a couple years ago was exactly the full-on establishmentarian that literally every Indian Republican is. There’s a whole book of NeverTrump/antiwhite/etc. boilerplate with his name on it. Pretending to be a GOP “populist” is very easy. All you have to do is not lie about normal people. The one point in the shitter’s favor is that his hatred of the average American is weak enough that he *can* hide it—almost. He can’t bring himself to betray “legal” immigrants, which is always the tell. Valuing the “best qualified,”… Read more »
Hemid: Well said. Totally agree.
You always have a way to state things in a way I just can’t duplicate but that perfectly describe my instincts.
A couple days ago a viral video went around in which he “destroyed” an obviously planted audience member who took him to task over his lack of support for mutilating adolescent cross dressers. Lost was the fact that his answer basically amounted to, “let people do what they want in the privacy of their own homes — hell, let adults chop off their bits and bobs as they wish — but allowing kids to do so is a bridge too far!” In other words, he acceded to most of the degenerate left’s morality, leaving just a small bit of mop-up… Read more »
Obama for President of Harvard.
Seems because of his dot status he can say these things without being totally crucified. A white guy? Give us Barabas!!
He looks like he’s having fun, ‘though. I assume he’s angling for a spot in a possible Trump administration.
Press Secretary ideal, as mentioned above.
He and his backers are very clever. They’re piggy-backing MAGA because they know it’s the biggest political force at the moment. That’s why every statement VR makes out-Trumps Trump. Of course, if they ever got into power, he’d revert to the usual GOP traitor.
even when i was very liberal, I would place a lot of weight on personality as opposed to ideology. For instance, Bernie Sanders was considered by the chattering classes to be the more liberal and extreme candidate in 2016 over the more electable Hilary Clinton. Yet it didn’t seem that way to me. In my view, the phrase “too liberal” and “too conservative” are merely proxies for temperament. When people think of a democrat being too liberal they aren’t thinking of ideology as such. When someone says they are too liberal what they usually mean is that they are an… Read more »
Zman – your point regarding litmus test issues resonated with me (and for once, I actually listened to the podcast – watching it snow outside, enjoying the fire in the woodstove, and listening to Zman’s wisdom!). While I have my opinion on issues like abortion, I was always able to agree to disagree with others. Even as my position shifted and clarified, it was never the determining factor with me as it seems to be for others. But moving from mindless liberalism to conservatism to HBD realism and finally ethnonationalism, I find I have definitely found my “litmus test.” Yes,… Read more »
The guys wisdom? You people are morons idolizing a racist pseudo philosopher/historian. I commented two years ago on this cesspool site ridiculing (accurately) the delusional paranoid rambling of the aforementioned loser, and that of you simpletons making absurd new years predictions (which never panned out; funny that). You fucking people are nuts!
Welcome to the board Brian! Fresh faces and views always welcome. Even trolls.
Not really. Trolls post to excite and disrupt—never to initiate reasoned conversation regarding points of differing opinion. All I saw posted from Brian were a string of ad hominem attacks, too vague to be rebutted or even understood.
Let’s see if we can count the words Brian used; moron, racist, pseudo, delusional, paranoid, rambling, cesspool, loser, simpleton, absurd, nuts. Indeed, remove those words and you’d have no idea what Brian posted about. Such does this angry little man consider the art of conversation.
I needed a thesaurus to sound more smarter
“More smarter”? A thesaurus isn’t all you need.
I suppose that went over your head kgb (ironic); typical.
Racist? You say that is if it’s a BAD thing!
Brian green: Why bless its heart, it thinks it hurt our feewings.
Maybe its the I Fucking Love Science! Brian Green that does those PBS shows for dummies.
If we’re nuts we should fit perfectly in society. Because it sure is nuts lol

—
See you in 2026
And, yet, here you are.
like a moth to flame.
“In revenge and in love woman is more barbaric than man is.”… as the Big N Moustache Man once wrote.
Properly taken under advisement, directed, and channeled by strong men, that’s a good thing… If you get my maenad… err meaning.
“Yes, Covid certainly signified a host of other mental deficiencies (blindly trusting ‘authority,’ terror of death, virtue signalling, etc.), but my one issue is now ethnonationalism.”
Yes! The c-v1d crackdown was nothing compared to demographic replacement.
This is a litmus test for me too. If you feel more threatened by the oppressive government response to c-v1d than massive immigration, then, well… you’re not very smart, sorry.
(I’m not saying that the c-v1d crackdown wasn’t threatening! I’m saying that it’s like worrying about high blood pressure when you’re dying of cancer.)
Line: Agreed. Covid repression was a symptom of an already decayed, non-White AINO. And the blind trust in the government was not a feature of American life before Lincoln’s War, at least so far as I have read. Personally, I would blame mass immigration (Irish, Italian, Poles, Jews, etc.) for the way the public welcomed FDr’s poison pills. Government would save them! I don’t think the first homesteaders believed that.
3g, I’m with you but with one stray thought. As far as I can tell, the failed painter’s big government reforms did resurrect the German people in a remarkably short period of time after WW1. Small government in Germany after the Great War would have meant that everyone died alone. If someone can show me otherwise, I’m very interested… I remember how perplexed Dennis Prager used to get over the success of Germany in the late 30s because it defied all of his small government beliefs. Of course, the antebellum USA was not Weimar Germany (and I’m not saying that… Read more »
Line: Valid points. On the one hand, I would like to think that, left to figure things out, most people would manage on their own. But as I’ve been repeatedly reminded in real time, most people cannot figure things out and need a lot of assistance and direction. Theoretically, after a generation or two of such a society would have accrued sufficient social capital and habits that government intervention and direction could be minimized.
I wonder how big an efficient White-run “big” government would need to be sometimes. Let’s see, some kind of national health care, good roads, reasonable regulation of airwaves, air traffic, environmental quality, public schools with strong moral codes and high academic standards, a “defense” sector that actually just focused on defense and not imperialism, and of course strong border enforcement. How much should all that really cost? More than the 18th century federal government certainly but probably not *much* more than the libertopians’ minimal state. After all, in a sense, this would BE that minimal state.
100%. It is the difference between a government that works for the benefit of its people versus one that exploits its people for the benefit of a few.
Unfortunately, “normal brain” isn’t that great either. People fall for the most obvious cons and believe obvious lies even in their day to day lives. This is especially true for topics they don’t know very well. Not to mention the emotional investment people have, particularly in politics.
Conservatives get a thrill up their legs over the rare “victories” such as the Gayfenestration because they imagine their brilliantly logical keyboard critiques compelled the Leftists to finally see the error of their ways, repent, and return to the side of light and virtue. (Bloody idiots.) But, as Z points out, this changes next to nothing. Oh sure, Harvard, and by extension academia, is temporarily smarting–so to speak–over this incident. It registers as a setback, albeit a small one. Their reputation takes something of a hit in the public eye. But it’s nothing more than passing discomfort, like gastric spasms… Read more »
“ …they will erect more robust firewalls to prevent outsiders from doing the background checks that places like Harvard refuse to do…”
I believe this is true. Last I checked, Michelle Obama’s Princeton thesis was now not available for download or online reading (I had copied it previously however). If you find it, please correct me for the group.
If someone could deep fake Big Mike sounding off about the Gaza Genocide, his thesis would be in the public domain faster than a busload of Lubavitchers crashing a Chinese restaurant on December 25.
I forget where I read/heard it (maybe it was here), but someone was suggesting that they’ll probably make those academic publishing sites walled off to everyone outside of academia as opposed to just having to pay if you aren’t enrolled.
So the university system will start operating more like some kind of ancient mystery cult where they hide all their weird rituals from the public view, likely becoming stranger and stranger until they’re sticking small animals up each others’ asses as “research” to the machine god.
They already have the idea of an “impact factor” to measure academic productivity. Perhaps one day soon we will only have a hamster count.
I have other, more intellectual priorities than reading Michelle Obama’s “thesis”. Like reading my beer mat.
This was a great show start to finish. That list of goofballs was fantastic. I had the same issue with Fridman’s promotion on YT. I never bought it. A guy who is an AI genius and pioneer who spends his time interviewing famous people? No. He would be working nearly 24×7 with the other AI pioneers. This was truly a great show Z-Man. You do a great job staying sober in a time where it is easy to get drunk on the endless casks of outrage this regime has on tap. Thank you for the reminder. Best of luck getting… Read more »
RR-
I had nearly the exact same reaction to Fridman (Fraud-man?).
If the guy really was on the bleeding edge of AI, his time would be consumed by that. He would be known for that, not his podcast.
It is also very weird how he seemingly materialized from nowhere to get top shelf guests, millions of subscribers, and millions of views.
Based on this, one has to wonder if Fridman is some kind of glow op.
Glow Op? That uncanny valley monotonous Remora is lit up 6 ways from Saturday like the item which rhymes with it.
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but I will rephrase my comment from two days ago. The great thing about the Gay firing is NOT, as the media and conservacucks would have it, that a great blow has been struck against DIE. Gay didn’t lose her job because of DIE, or even for plagiarism. She lost it because she crossed the Jews. Blacks know this, even if normie doesn’t, and are quietly seething.
Long term, this will cause problems for the Democrat’s ruling coalition, and that is a wonderful thing.
It will cause tension alright. But outside of coldcocking more Chasids on the streets of Brooklyn, I don’t see how the nuggras can strike back. Now if they can get all the other PoC to side with them… But I don’t think they’ll ever get the Messkins on their side.
“Harvard will just replace one antiwhite bigot with another antiwhite bigot, probably one even more nasty than Gay.”
With delicious irony, her ‘temporary replacement’ is a Zionist Jew.
Whom they cannot now forcibly replace without fomenting yet more cries of “anti-semitism!”
You can almost hear the accountants in the background, tallying the donations.
Well, one thing about Leftists–when they’re not predictable, they’re monomaniacal.
“Jack Murphy” real name “John (((Goldman)))” Never trust anyone who lies about their names.
The first time I ever heard of this guy was when Metokur spent an hour and half making fun of him for being a literal cuck and for pleasuring himself with a female adult “toy” and, of course, for hiding his ethnicity and pretending to be Irish.
Nimarata Randawa Haley.
Despite all the currying favour, she’s a naan starter.
I wish Ramaswamy would let fly with some Sikh jokes. The cognitively more with it Indians — Brahmins, Jains, etc… LOVE to tell the Sikh equivalent of Dumb Pollack jokes. Sikhs are not known for being the sharpest tools in the drawer. Exceptions exist for sure especially in the diaspora but Nimrata obviously hews to the mean.
Won’t be fun until the ‘American’ mask drops and the Old Country goodness shines through.
That’s a very American-sounding name she has there, ain’t it?

You are asking too much of people Z because if people started thinking normally they would realize they are being erased and do something about it…
I’m still grappling with the JQ. Yeah, I used to buy it, but I’ve started looking in the mirror more lately. In the The Lobby documentary Z linked to, Mearsheimer was talking about the problem with the Israel is that it is a Jewish ethnostate, and if they permit immigration of the more swarthy, they will lose their culture. Well, isn’t that our point? Or the bit referenced in today’s podcast. That they are influencing things on campus. Well, who isn’t? It’s not like Zoomers, for no reason at all, each on his own, started thinking men in dresses was… Read more »
“Someone was doing that conditioning, and at a level widespread enough that would require substantial funding.” Gee, I wonder what group has that kind of money and desire to warp traditional Western/Christian culture. Dang, it’s a mystery. Nope, can’t think of any group like that. “The only real problem I’m still left with is Jews are smart enough to turn some of the aid dollars into campaign contributions, which gets them more aid dollars. Nothing particularly nefarious about it. Just garden-variety corruption, same as anyone else buying off politicians.” Yep, the Israelis and their American cousins are just “garden-variety” corrupt… Read more »
X would cost lots of money. Y has lots of money. Therefore Y funded X. Seriously? Re:corruption, you don’t think the problem is the politicians and bureaucrats being bought, rather the people doing the buying?

Rest of that is just ad hominem. I’ve seen posts of yours that present a coherent argument and not fall back on fallacy. You can… Read more »
“X would cost lots of money. Y has lots of money. Therefore Y funded X.” Right, there’s no evidence of Jews controlling huge swaths of the media and using that control to undermine Western/Christian values. Nope. No Jews in Hollywood or the big TV networks or newspapers/magazines over the past century. Oh, and Jews have had no influence over academia either. I mean, it’s not as though six of the eight Ivies at the moment have Jewish presidents. Wait, what’s that. Six of the eight Ivy presidents are Jewish. Well, that’s just a weird coincidence. Oh and Jewish donors just… Read more »

No, I get that media is pwned by Jews, etc. I have a zoomer daughter, and whether because of parenting or her innate intelligence, never fell for any of that crap, neocon or neolib, apart from a brief fling when she was 16 and dyed her hair blue. But from what she says, zoomers aren’t paying attention to the legacy media anyway. It’s all social media, particularly TikTok, which I’m sure Jews would love to own, but don’t appear to. Yet.

The JQ largely comes down to the fact that they are the best at playing this game. They have also weaponized peoples’ sympathy for what happened in WW2 and criticism of them impossible.
Though I think they are going to continue to lose to the Indians who if anything are even more ethnocentric than the small hats. Indians ran them out of the diamond hustle with ethnocentrism.
Frankly, I think the Indians are much bigger problem. There are a few 10s of millions of small hats. There are over a billion Indians. Plus they are extremely corrupt.
“The JQ largely comes down to the fact that they are the best at playing this game.”
Right. So execute those who accept the bribes. The IRS can track down people whose lifestyles or assets are not consistent with their paychecks. They can do it. They just don’t. So make it plain. Anyone, including IRS agents, who provides evidence that leads to an execution of a politician or bureaucrat that is living beyond his means because of corruption gets a cut of the property seized. Maybe 10%. That can be adjusted as needed to get people to investigate corruption.
Yes, because there’s no way to influence politicians except illegal backroom bribes.
My goodness. You need some new material.
Why not execute the ones making the bribes?
I live Northern Virginia which is maybe the largest concentration of Indians in the country, certainly one of the top spots. I’ve been saying for a few years now that people, especially Jews, have no idea what’s coming with these guys. The Indians immediately started getting into local politics and organizations – and not because they are civic minded. They love to own businesses. Any business, they don’t care. The also love owning rentals. Indians look at blacks as wild animals. (Can’t fault them there.) They view Hispanics are working animals. They view working class whites as barely human. They… Read more »
Citizen: Texas has Virginia (and most other states) beat when it comes to Indians, Han Chinese, Vietnamese, Koreans, and Filipinos. https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2023/09/2020-census-dhc-a-asian-population.html New Jersey is up there, too. But your assessment of how they operate and view other races is spot on. As soon as they are minimally eligible, they start running for schoolboard and city council. And they don’t even attempt crypsis, like Jews – they put up placards with their birth names, and host nation colors (no fake red/white/blue stuff). And that’s also what’s so suspicious about Ramaswamy. He is trying to present himself as mister all American, a… Read more »

King Cobra definitely came through the elite portal. But I get the feeling that the Cobra is playing a different game. He senses that there’s an opening, and he’s playing it. I don’t think that he wants to be just another house slave of the global elite. He wants his own plantation. None of that means that he’s on our side. King Cobra is out for King Cobra. But the fact that he understands that taking up the mantle of whites is a path to something big, something outside the power of the current elite should tell us something. The… Read more »
The Jews are “better at playing the game” because they’re white, like Jared Taylor says. There’s no mystery here. Sure, they’re generally intelligent too, but basically on par with northern Europeans and East Asians. The races that can “play the game” in the West will be the ones that can present themselves as Huwhite best. And make no mistake: as much as we Online Right love pointing out the DEI madness and diversity worshipping, the fact is that anyone anywhere in power in the West acts as Huwhite as Clark and Nancy Woodall from Ames, IA.

Marko: “They’re (sic) countenance is all Caucasian.” “Sunak: dude is probably whiter than me.”
Are you permanently suntanned? Seriously, there is no way I could get a complexion like Sunak. And there is no way anyone would mistake the Indians I’ve seen (and was unfortunate to live amongst in Texas) as White or even White adjacent. By color, physiognomy, habits, or accents. Same goes for the subcons I dealt with in England, and in Jamaica, and in Singapore. Same people and same behavior wherever I encountered them.
Streetshitters the lot of them…
I don’t know about that. From what I’ve seen, whites, even liberal whites, don’t buy into the “my fellow whites” argument from Indians – or Asians.
When Indian start lecturing whites about their white priviledge, you see the whites immediately get edgy. Blacks can do it. Jews pretending to be white can do it. But Indians can’t, at least not around the people that I’ve seen.
This is going sideways from anything useful. If the DR had the kind of funding Israel has, do you really believe we wouldn’t be pushing the message on college campuses? If you want a white ethnostate, why are you upset about a Jewish ethnostate? I mean, some reason other than envy. If the DR owned the media, wouldn’t we be putting the stereotypical 50s family in commercials, rather than the race mixing, pedo-adjacent, perversions we now see? As I watched the video Z posted, The Lobby – US, what kept popping to mind was the popular meme of pencil drawing… Read more »
What they advocate and force down our throats is enslavement or death for us we advocate for life and beauty…To equate us and them is dishonest at best and subversive at worse…You really are shilling for them today aren’t you…
Again, sideways. We agree that what they are pushing is an abomination. I think we agree that the means being used are not. At the very least, we’d use them if we could, right?
All I’m asking is why the emphasis on the messenger, rather than on the message, where I think it belongs.
In case it wasn’t obvious, I think getting people to at least consider DR politics is a whole lot easier if you focus on the message rather than immediately jump to race or ethnicity, something that will get an immediate visceral reaction to most of the people who are amenable to argument. Who is the audience? Apart from Brian green, above, there’s no one here to convert, so what’s the purpose? There’s also little point in taking this tack with Lefties. They will brand you a hater and reject it without even bothering to consider any argument. Most of the… Read more »
Steve: I’m going to sound offensive; so be it. Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse, or is it supposed to be not-so-subtle misdirection? I don’t see anyone saying that those with the money and media ownership pushing their message is innately devious. What people are saying is that it’s unnatural that 2% of the population should own that media and craft the message and thus viewpoints of the majority population. People are noting that for some reason, no one with sufficient resources shares or is willing to publicly push our position. And a number of commenters here – specifically… Read more »
“Steve: I’m going to sound offensive; so be it. Are you deliberately trying to be obtuse, or is it supposed to be not-so-subtle misdirection?” No worries. As an unapologetic white separatist, I have a pretty thick skin. Why the false dichotomy? Did you watch the video Z linked to? I don’t recall any of it talking about the 2% ownership, and, so far as I noticed, you are the first to have mentioned it, at least in this blog post. Even our host called out the practice of there even being a presence on college campuses influencing the youth, as… Read more »
Steve: If I understand you correctly, you are opposed to calling out the messenger as opposed to the means and the message. Why ought Jews (or Armenians or Greeks or Turks or Banglasehis) be able to attend American universities and politically and culturally proselytize White American youth?

To what message is being broadcast? The whole ‘melting pot’ and ‘we’re all Americans’ bit appears to me to be… Read more »
@3g4me, “The whole ‘melting pot’ and ‘we’re all Americans’ bit appears to me to be the basis of your argument. I reject that.”
Yeah, I reject that, too.
I’d vastly prefer to be left alone to discriminate however I damned well please, but if I can’t have that, a white ethnostate is a distant second choice. Distant, because I know for a fact there are a lot of stupid whites who, for example, think socialism is peachy keen, and who are bound and determined to stick their noses into my business.
No one cares about the Jews having an ethnostate. They can do their best. However, their co-ethnics and biggest supporter here in the USA are on the front lines of the open borders movement in the USA. Reliably. They are a disproportionate share of that destructive ideology while on the other hand, those same Jewish Americans vigorously advocated for a beautiful wall to keep the bad people out of Israel and they support a highly selective immigration process where you literally have to have the right DNA to join the Israeli club. Pisses many us off to no end. Now… Read more »
Well, Steve, coming to this late after reading many responses to you. Why are we white people increasingly noticing the incongruities between your position and theirs. Yeah, they can have their (shitty little) ethnostate, but it is premised – totally – upon us never getting to even entertain this for ourselves. Why? Because we are their talmudic cattle: we are expected to financially underwrite their ethnostate (with a substantial portion of this being dedicated to bribery/blackmail within our political and judicial systems); being expected to share the military technologies and intelligence that they need to overawe their neighboring polities, and… Read more »
At this point I have to conclude you are not in good faith. No one on the DR begrudges Israel of being an ethnostate. The DR begrudge jews demanding Israel be an ethnostate and using all their resources to prevent White nations from being White ethnostates.
Even more so, using the resources of White nations to prop up their jewish ethnostate to the ruin of ours.
The weird thing is, Westerners have proven capable of handling ourselves and anybody else. That we don’t today shows we have our heads up our asses; that we see former subject peoples as existential threats shows how far.
I’m not for global empire and all that master race business, but there’s really no good reason we aren’t secure in the northern hemisphere.
There is a good reason and that is White People have been brainwashed into individualism and not looking out for our own and only our own…
Heads up asses, yes.
Steve, folks here know I’m pretty agnostic wrt the JQ. However, I just read a lengthy piece:
https://windsorswan.substack.com/
on Windsor Swan’s substack.
The article is directly readable here (assuming I get it copied correctly):
https://windsorswan.substack.com/p/the-social-parasite-theory-of-liberalism?utm_campaign=reaction&utm_medium=email&utm_source=substack&utm_content=post
It is called the Social Parasite Theory of Liberalism. Really a remarkable analysis of the JQ.
Worth a read.
Thanks! I’m about halfway through. Down to the section on Jewish psychology. Some of it is certainly better than others. For example, his take on loan interest is completely absurd. It’s not the money. Of course if it’s just ones and zeroes, they go away on repayment. But only an idiot would focus on just the ledger balances. Say a man takes out a loan to build a house. If immediately repaid, sure you could just cancel out the credit and debit columns. But once he spends that money on 2x4s and concrete and shingles, those are real tangible goods,… Read more »
I personally never understood the hostility towards interests on loans. If there’s no interests why would you loan out money??
It is not so much the interest, but the recourse. If you loan out for the house, but your only recourse for repayment on default is the house, then your lending practices will be far more prudent and less exploitative.
The JQ is often one of the biggest hurdles on the journey from conservative frustration to outright dissident who wants a new system. It was for me. I would start by reading Israel Shahak, the Jewish Religion. It’s a short book and you can find it online. Perhaps even start with Ron unz’s review of it.
You don’t flip on the JQ overnight. Unless you’re really old, that would require undoing a lifetime of conditioning. That takes time
I did flip on it more or less overnight. I used to be as rabid about the JQ as what I’m reading here, maybe moreso, and more or less over the course of maybe 5 minutes, realized my beef with Jews was more a beef with collectivism and perversion. I’m even told to hate the evil, not the man.
Thanks for the reading recommendation. Maybe I’ll come back around to the “correct” answer. Stranger things have happened.
None of us have “the correct answer” in a political sense. The DR is not bolshevism central. What surprised me, and I have quite a few Jewish friends and colleagues, was how hateful Judaism is towards goys. I always thought Judaism waa some sort of “love your neighbor” proto Christianity. It is nothing of the kind. You said you flipped on it overnight. That’s the opposite of my journey. I still struggle with it. I honestly wanted it to be BS because my personal experiences with Jews are overwhelmingly positive. They’re often academic geeks, same as me at heart. But… Read more »
“I always thought Judaism waa some sort of “love your neighbor” proto Christianity. It is nothing of the kind.” Exactly. If they know and are being honest, they will tell you flat out that they are not followers of what they call “Hebrewism”, basically Pentateuch theology with a dash of prophets for flavor. The modern version of Judaeism is Talmudic, which spawned the Pharisees. So modern Jews practice a religion that Yeshua explicitly condemned. They are a lot like Muslims in that regard. As individuals, it’s hard to imagine the things we are told about them. But the ones who… Read more »
They can do whatever they want in their own country. To the extent that they commit serious crimes in support of their country to the detriment of our country then there should be serious sanctions. Like stealing nuclear material so they could build their A bombs. That should have resulted in military action to the point that it made the theft pointless. Former CIA officers have noted that Israel has been a far greater national security threat than the Soviets ever were. It should be national policy to not trust them at all. I don’t consider Ben Shapiro a trustworthy… Read more »
I don’t know. There’s a difference between a successful guerrilla operation that causes relatively minor but spectacular damage and a decisive battle such as, say, Gettysburg.
This is a matter of opinion of course, but most dissidents I am reading recognize that Gay’s ouster is an example of the first and not the second.
Yes, some have painted this as the second and not the first, but these people will always be with us.
“Gay’s ouster is an example of the first and not the second.”
Irrelevant.
The problem is that it is one of many constant distractions that prevent real problems from ever getting addressed.
The whole situation is a small net loss to our side due to the opportunity cost of lost time not fighting for something more important
When it made the AP go so far as to blame scalping on White people, and show what ridiculous asses they are, it made a difference.
It showed their agenda, blameshifting, clownish ridiculousness, and it was insulting to everyone’s intelligence.
I’d say that is a big loss for them.
A guerrilla operation by whom? A lesbian black female appointed as president of Harvard to spout anti-White hatred forgets herself and allows a little venting by pro-Palestinian students. This really upsets some Jews, so accusations of plagiarism are dredged up and she is forced to step down (while still being paid under her contract). One of the Jews who was running the school all along has to step in until a new anti-White figurehead can be found who better knows her place. While there is much humor to be gained from this, I can’t really characterize it as a victory… Read more »
So Gay’s defenestration is in fact a defeat for us and a victory for the enemy.
OK, by all means, run with that.
Argument, not obloquy. Try to disprove anything Gideon said. Go ahead. To quote H. Ross Perot, we’re all ears.
Firstly, Celt, I didn’t down-vote you. Some count this as a win and that’s fine. Second, I didn’t say this was a defeat for us at all. If anything, I thought it was rather funny how golem created to go after us have at least temporarily failed their creators, while supposed color-blind conservatives have become raging ethnonationalists where Israel is concerned. I’m just not expecting it to last. Now if the next Harvard president should dial back on the anti-Whiteism or, barring that, curb the wild over-representation of Jews at that school, I’d definitely count it as a victory.
Well now that we know the new prez of Haaavaaard is Tribe, methinks a victory dance is out.
Spectacular show, Z! 👍 It’s incredible. A lot of people go off the rails before they ever get on the ride. It doesn’t even occur to them to use the tools they have.

I think the biggest problem we have, is that nobody can be forthright. The entire construct of a multi-racial democracy with its untenable arrangements compounded by the age of mass media is a non starter. Everything is a lie, or an act of submission in the form of swallowing the truth heavily seasoned with cowardice. Moreover, everyone is pitted against each other.

Another note – the people in Gaza are residents. You know that language is also used to describe Americans in our homeland very often. I think King Cobra let slip that kind of language last year – something about, “people who are permitted to live here.”
We are not citizens nor are the people of Gaza. They are, for now, permitted to reside – on someone else’s undeveloped beachfront property.
Always listen to the language someone uses.
“Always listen to the language someone uses.”
Agreed. So why is the resident/citizen distinction so important to you?
BTW, I upvoted your post. I’m just not sure why I should care how they are categorized.
Resident/Citizen distinction is important in a context that may or may not exist in our current state of affairs. In a homogenous nation that has its own country, citizenship is a status with privileges above that of a mere resident. It is a status with privileges that also connotes duties and responsibilities that must be fulfilled to be maintained. A resident has lower status and privileges and its own obligations to maintain it. I also use citizen in its highest value sense of nationhood and not citizenship in some multi-national imperium. If by some miracle we make the necessary changes… Read more »
I agree again, and again, upvoted. It’s just in the world in which I live, it’s largely a distinction without a difference. I think we may already be beyond the point there is even a distinction in America. It’s no longer just dead people voting. Now we are adding invaders and imaginary people to the voting rolls.
We used to have a de facto ethnostate in America until we did not, and are soon to the point of a white plurality. Pretty soon it will be hard to make the case that white America is anything more than residents.
A citizen returns the shopping cart; a resident doesn’t.
Steve: Language is a reflection of thought. It both reflects it and shapes it. That’s why the early communists – or the earlier internecine Christian wars – focused on language and terminology. You say you understand the importance of the language someone uses, yet you question the difference between the classic meaning of ‘citizen’ versus ‘resident’? This blurring of vital and concrete differences is what enabled the abomination known as modern birthright citizenship. It’s why a foreign ambassador’s son born on AINO soil remains a citizen of his father’s country only, but that same ambassador’s driver’s son is the beneficiary… Read more »
“You say you understand the importance of the language someone uses, yet you question the difference between the classic meaning of ‘citizen’ versus ‘resident’?”
No, I just question why a Gazan’s designation should be my concern.
The Gazan designation may one day become yours.
I quickly figured out that Shapiro has only a couple of purposes in life – gin up support for Israel, protect the right flank of mainstream Republicans, keep normies distracted and outraged about the irrelevant stuff.
Same can be said for all “conservatives” still on mainstream platforms like Hannity.
Shapiro’s motivation is to not get beaten up on the playground. He thinks conservatives will protect him better than liberals.
Why on earth would he think that? Conservatives don’t have enough manhood to be able to whup a sick kitten.
Probably got beat up by a Reform Jew.
In this chaotic day and age I don’t think it’s too far-fetched to add Islam as a fifth, “I.”

Great point: how our “leaders” love to get us all wrapped-up in the ongoing foreign dramas which have no effect on us— Israel and Gaza, Ukraine and Putin— hoping we’ll *miss* the things which *do* directly impact us; like the demise of our freedoms of speech, assembly, and association.
I think that’s giving Our Leaders too much credit.
They too get wrapped up in the irrelevant foreign crap, because it’s much easier to launder money there. It’s even easier to launder money when you have promised your foreign donors a lack of border enforcement so they can quietly dispose of their angry young men.
If the irrelevant foreign crap distracts the proles, bonus, but not the goal.
Right in tune with today’s theme, Jason Kessler has once again provoked a divisive public cluster. Nick Fuentes has caused him to become an agnostic. Or something. And he had to make a grandstanding statement about it. Fortunately this time there is little chance that anyone will be injured or end up as a prisoner or an informant. On one side there are some realists and the Christians of various stripes, while on the other are some realists and the anti-Christians. If the comments under Kessler’s pronouncement at Contrary-Currents are any indication, the anti-Christians are a loose affiliation of atheists,… Read more »
