It is appropriate that on this Good Friday I have carried your questions up the hill to my studio and answered them in the podcast. Lots of good ones this time. No questions about Easter, which was not a surprise, as I do not do a lot on religion. Putting the show together, it occurred to me that we will soon see a push to remove Good Friday from the federal calendar of holidays.
Easter has already been greatly minimized. When I was a kid, spring break was always before or after Easter. The schools did an Easter show where the little kids were dressed up in silly outfits to entertain the parents. We also made Easter baskets and colored eggs in school, which is banned now. I think the Easter basket tradition has pretty much gone away entirely at this point.
The current war on the phrase “Christ is King” is a no doubt the first shots in the coming war on the remains of public Christianity. If they manage to make public professions of Christian faith “antisemitic” then it will not be long before Republican governors are banning all displays of Christianity in the public square. It may sound crazy, but most of what is normal today was lunacy just a few years ago.
For now, at least, I hope everyone has a blessed Good Friday and Easter weekend with your friends and family. For the Orthodox readers, you will have to wait another month this year, but that is how it goes some years. Catholics, of course, will be saying a special thanks for the Episcopal Church. It is a reminder that no matter how terrible things have gotten for Catholics, it can always get worse.

By now everyone knows that the Biden administration has transformed Easter into “Transgender Day of Visibility.” They aren’t even hiding it anymore. Au contraire, they are rubbing our faces in it.
My comment from another forum, I think it is appropriate to repost it here under this as it relates to this demonic abomination that they did this Easter— I can’t lie that I’m very happy to now be observing this insanity and the sinking ship from 5000 miles away. I’ve gone from boiling murderous rage to simply a contemplative sadness at what once was. The way you would perhaps watch a family member slowly fading away from dementia who was once a robust and strong male patriarch for the entire clan, but is this shriveled little shell remaining, clinging to… Read more »
Everyone fights. No one quits.
Except Apex Predator.
Get back to me when you’ve actually done something that run your mouth on your keyboard. I had a SWAT team up my ass and already did some time for my “fight” what the fuck have you done keyboard jockey? You know nothing about my story, move on…
E. Michael Jones said that this administration has made it impossible to be both American and a Catholic and I think that’s the most succint way to say it.
Regarding the smoke detector meme, I have a friend in Chicago, very much on our side of the great divide, with many rental units, most of which he rents to joggers. In the past 6 months he has sent me 7 brief videos that he took surreptitiously of chirping smoke detectors in his tenants’ apartments. All of them black. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen and heard the evidence myself.
I never could stand the tiny troll Ben Shapiro. I do like Matt Walsh, who walks the walk. He seems like a legit, old school, family values American. A Ward Clever for the 21st century. He does not toe the Daily Wire line. And, at times cuts against the grain butting heads with his boss Bennie or just ignoring whatever drama is going on at the Daily Wire. Being the middle aged, misanthropic curmudgeon that I am, he resonates with me. At minimum, he has a style and delivery that makes him worth watching even if it’s just right wing… Read more »
Walsh and Knowles look extremely weird, like a pair of identikit kidnappers. Trust your senses.
We are normal people.
The guys you praise promote civic nationalism, which doesn’t work. You may like hearing them criticize our culture, but their solution will just cause us to repeat past mistakes.
The lesson that whites must learn is that racial tribalism in non-whites commands more loyalty that shared values or religion. You may wish that it wasn’t the case, I do, but it’s still true.
Problem is that purely white nationalism as espoused here doesn’t work either, for very long or for a very large territory. If you boot MAGA and civnat and normie, you are left with just a dozen or so people.
Though it is much better than a few months back, we seem to strive to alienate people rather than explain why their premises are in error. They have no reason to believe “Culture is downstream from genetics” any more than they have to believe “War is Peace”.
Until /ourside/ invents the quadium bomb, it is less realistic than most other alternatives.
Yesterday I saw two Ben Shapiro tweets juxtaposed. The first one was Shapiro saying that even though Ben and Jerry’s supports every liberal cause, he still eats it because it’s good ice cream. That (IIRC) was from 2012. Just recently Ben and Jerry’s tweeted their support of Palestine and he replied with something like this is why I no longer eat Ben and Jerry’s.
This perfectly demonstrates everything you need to know about Shapiro. He is an Israeli nationalist. Israel is his first, last and only interest. America is just the place he happens to reside.
And fights his battles for him.
Ice cream don’t lie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUT5rEU6pqM
“ This perfectly demonstrates everything you need to know about Shapiro. He is…”
Well, not in my view. He is a hypocrite and liar and therefore a man of no true values. As our politicians all too often, he is a whore who is whoever you want him to be at the moment. That he promotes Israel and the Jews is not his fundamental flaw.
It’s an epiflaw.
What I meant is it demonstrates he is not on our side. The only issue he truly cares about is Israel. It’s not that it’s Israel. It could be Chile or Sri Lanka and the point would still be the same. Shapiro is not an American, knows he not an American. The only issues he truly cares about are his narrow ethnic interests. Whether it’s Israel or circumcision, these are the only times he ever takes a strong stand. He even said the quiet part out loud recently when he said Israel’s security is the biggest guarantor of his loyalty… Read more »
Since the new comment system can’t reply directly, I’m responding here to Steve about https://thezman.com/wordpress/?p=31785#comment-397594
Could be, Steve. My expectation is that events will force whites to see what I see, but who knows.
Given the limitations that you describe, what do you believe is the best goal/message to improve our situation? What’s the best solution that is achievable within the limitations?
One can find like-minded people. There just aren’t a whole lot out there, and the enemy owns the cities, so you have to seek friends elsewhere. Half the whites will never vote their demographics, and most of the remainder are too fragmented to make a difference. Heck, there are more Jews than “real” DR, and that’s taking an extremely broad definition of R. But at least the remainder can be reached. For followers of Christ, Matthew 24 does not paint a rosy picture, but we know how it all comes out in the end. For those who are not, plenty… Read more »
I like the new format look but the reply function is messed up, brings me to a blank page on two different browser. Ergo, this new post.
Re: Spring Break, back in my school days it was always the same time of year. Because Easter is a movable feast, it was too difficult scheduling-wise to move it around every year.
I wonder what the Great Men of History would have to say about people turning away from religion in large numbers. Probably that the typical young man should be spending more time fighting on the actual battlefield and less time fighting on his XBox or PlayStation.

Anyways, Happy Easter and Good Friday
[…] weekly podcast. Highly […]
Not only has the “Spring Break” been disassociated from Holy Week, various districts have different Spring Break periods, which is immensely frustrating to parents with children in different districts (e.g., elementary and high school). I pointed out to my wife years ago that the change of Spring break times away from Easter was a deliberately anti-Christian act. Making a variety a break periods was salt in the wound.
Because what they now call spring break. Was originally “Easter vacation..” But you know… Heathens gonna heathen.
Music has never recovered from the death of Cliff Burton, and I will stand on Lars Ulrich’s coffee table in my white Converse high tops and say that.
That’s a stretch, coming from a Metallica fan. I say it went off the rails post metal 80’s, and the advent of grunge.
80s hair metal was the harbinger of the end, more obviously in hindsight than it was at the time
I love that shit. At least those guys could play their asses off.
Melodic, hook laden. Catchy and generally upbeat.
They could write “songs.”
Like it or not you can’t deny the talent differential compared to anything out there today.
Taylor Swift? Hip Hop? C’mon!
Vinny, did someone mention hair metal? Melodic? Riffs? You HAVE heard this tune… right?

Ulrich ultra rich money grubber. All in on shaking dwn single mothers during the Napster honey pot scam.
Who are the rich to familiarize with and direct into our camp? I have operated under billionaires but never befriended a one. They are all psychos. I am currently actual friends and an advisor to half-billionaires. I walk through their libraries wearing socks because the vaulted library room the size of a gymnasium has padded leather floors. Brad Gerstner at Altimeter is aligned. (Yeah, I am outted.) The oligarchs in my humble opinion truly will not persuaded about anything. Z’s analogy about the cloud people and the dirt people is valid as hell. This stream does not resonate with me.… Read more »
Yeah I don’t think things will improve when it hits the really rich. Their response will be more gated communities, guards etc. Money is not the only term of the power equation. And no single individual or mutually acquainted group is in charge
Agree, they’ll just hire mercenaries to be their private armies.
I’ll agree with DaBears about the billionaires. I don’t see them switching sides and to be honest, I don’t think I can forgive them for what they have done to us. Let them suffer the same fate as the aristocrats of the ancien regime.
We might have a chance with the lower tier millionaires. Maybe. But I’m not gonna pin my hope on it. We might be better off just letting the current cadre of elites perish and see them replaced with a new one that doesn’t hate on the dirt people.
As Jay Gould said well over a century ago, “I can hire half the working class to kill the other half.”
I think the point is simply that there will never be a peasant revolt. The idea that we need to convince Normie to do or think or convert is a busted flush. They cannot do anything at all because they have no agency, and if they do, well- a British teacher was just fired from his job for refusing to use the preferred pronouns of some tranny.
On the other hand, immigration was turned completely off for a generation the afternoon the Italian immigrants set a bomb off in front of JP Morgan.
The idea that we need to convince Normie to do or think or convert is a busted flush.
A thousand times, NO!
Wiping out the DR now would be trivial. A couple small camps, a few drone strikes, and spreading the lie that we were terrorists is all it would take.
The J6 persecutions worked because so few people have any idea what it was about.
The only possible ways DR survives is going to ground or getting people to understand that it’s not about setting off bombs in shopping malls.
The J6 persecutions “worked”? Seems to me a large majority of people aren’t buying the lies, and if anything, have become a bit radicalized against FedGov and its Stasi.
And, yet, still rounding them up, putting them in cells for years without trial, possibly abusing them, all the while, half the population still believes Sicknik died from being hit by a fire extinguisher.
If that’s all it take to be a winner…
It works for Russia-
JP Morgan had to take a road to work. A lot of these guys fly in to the roof top and fly home – if they go. If they don’t fly, you don’t necessarily know who they are in the padded car. I think Davos is essentially a DMZ. Tough to get to these guys. Not impossible but tough. The subway stop for Wall St. is a squeaky clean and brand new station btw. So, this is evidence for their valued underlings, they will pull strings to get something decent built. Maybe if one of those underlings is a relative… Read more »
If you think about it, all peasant revolts in the past were triggered by starvation. Never in the history of man, has there been such a thing as a government check. Welfare, section 8, Medicaid, HEAP etc. The people on the dole aren’t even aware of the looming crisis. They are the stupidest, laziest, and generally most satiated of population. They pay little or no attention to politics, short of the woke b.s. The normie middle class,”MAGA,” or what’s left of it, aren’t going to risk what little they have to save the welfare class and all the illegals they… Read more »
Thiel stumbled across Moldbug and liked his essays because he interpreted them as personal flattery, and now that he pays for them, that’s exactly what they are. That’s what “persuading” an oligarch can get us. We can hope that an extremely weird (normal) guy somehow stumbles into billions. Elon kinda resembles that sometimes, but nothing will ever convince him to betray HIS PEOPLE—who are not us, and we can’t fool him into thinking we are. *After* he learned the true state of Twitter, who’d he hire as CEO? Case closed. And of course normie political attitudes don’t matter, except in… Read more »
There are people aligned at least against the Regime. Neither Raytheon nor the Colonels and lower tier Generals and Admirals will have their Defense Contract retirement plans advising the big Defense Contractors with open borders. Open Borders = 100% social welfare spending. It means the military budget of Honduras. This is why Musk, a lot of the Pentagon, Palantir, and the rest of those guys though not the neocons are aligned with OMB. The energy industry is another. Exxon, Shell, etc. cannot survive in the current regime. And aligned with them are other Hawks, not neo-cons who understand the the… Read more »
All the chit aside, I was facetious in respect of our host. Not that he should GAF.

I have noticed that the good Dr Johnson has seemed a little off lately. Maybe it’s just me. No one can be good at everything and war and peace is simply not Greg’s strong suit. It is really hard for really smart people to be really wrong in public about really important things. At least I assume it is: being an anonymous, Acme-certified super genuis who has never been wrong about anything, I really wouldn’t know. I thought I was wrong once, but it turned out I was mistaken… I am pro-Estonian but if Estonia disappears this means nothing in… Read more »

“Gerhardt Fjuck: The Man Behind the World’s Ugliest Buildings”
“When you enter a Gerhardt environment…I want you to feel like I hate you personally…because I do.”
I believe he appeared on Sprockets with Dieter.
A healthy culture would exile such a douche for life or just crucify him. He can hate us all he wants hanging up there
I’m kinda thinking “kill nihilists to prove life has value”
MyS — Yessir. You terminate these types promptly and with extreme prejudice and public witness, or they destroy your everything.
They love ugliness and there’s no other explanation than the spite that arises from a darkened soul. I was in a Target recently and every single poster festooning the walls and racks depicted an ugly human. Fat, deformed, and coal black seemed to be a prerequisite. The makeup section prominently displayed a placard of a hideous black man in drag with multiple chins. From a business standpoint, why would you confront your customers with images that arouse a primal fight-or-flight instinct? You should want to maximize the amount of time that customers browse the floor. It’s just more evidence that… Read more »
Humans have known how to build beautiful buildings for thousands of years. The monstrosities designed by modern architects are deliberate affronts to both beauty and the public.
With all due respect, KGB, what were you doing in a Target? Yes, I know all corporations are evil and one cannot avoid them entirely, but Target is especially evil. Haven’t been in one in many a year, and never will again.
No offense taken. I had my elderly mom with me and she wanted to browse. I didn’t spend a cent, just marvelled at the garish decorations.
I noticed today that they don’t put the dark, fat, ugly slobs and trannies in front of the cameras reading the news. I don’t know what that means. That they know you can use the remote faster than you can exit the store, or throw the catalogue in the trash?
But they love to employ effeminate black pillow biters as reporters.
White ones, too…
The news is still propaganda channel 1. It’s how the regime sets the narrative for everything. If they made it impossible for Normie to watch without retching, Normie might start getting his news from us. Of course, TV is really only reaching Boomers now. That doesn’t mean they don’t need to keep the Boomers on message. Boomercons are the only real demographic that still favors America’s World Police role.
Not myself nor the many, many fellow boomers I know. But by all means carry on in your abject ignorance.
Could be they just haven’t gotten around to doing it yet. But don’t worry; they will.
Advocating the ‘family vote’ is hilarious, given that the collective power of women destroyed the family during the past fifty years . . . with the help of government, law, media, corporations, NGOs, and the ‘charity’ foundations of the moneyed elite. And that women have ruled over the ‘family’ utterly for four decades and counting. It is not 1962 still, folks. Plainly, anglo men can’t face their women and tell them the truth — that they are destroying all good things, and soon will burn even their own nests — and then take away not merely their vote, but all… Read more »
The feminism industry has been dominated by Jewesses. There are plenty men who talk about women; weeds need to be removed by the roots or it’s just in vain.
Disruptor — No. The American feminist movement from an organized standpoint began with Quaker women and the daughters and wives of the moneyed elite of the time. Continental bluebloods, mostly. That was 1848 at Seneca Falls. There was no Jewish presence of which I am aware. (The kernel, however, began with Atlantic coast wives of ship captains and officers in places like New Bedford MA, during the heyday of the whaling industry.) The cavalcade of hate-spewing Jewish women did not arrive until relatively late in the U.S. feminist movement, and largely were restricted to doing damage after the passage of… Read more »
I was focusing on the doings of the last several decades / hundred years and there we are in agreement: radical jews.
Going back, in the north, in colonial days, puritan-types had female preachers. In the 1640s? English civil war there were diggers and levelers who were radical equalists.
Going back to the First & Second century AD, women were deacons, and played active roles. Christian scriptures promote equality.
Unless we tell the truth, we have no path forward. The truth is: In the last hundred years, and many more, jews have been actively working against our interests.
Christian scriptures command women to be silent.
I tell mine all the time her “tribe” is the reason everyone is miserable, and why life isn’t as good as it used to be.
I explain in detail how I draw that conclusion and she agrees… Sack Up fella’s!
Look at South Korea, 0.68 birth rate and the 4B movement. They are going to follow feminism to its natural conclusion, which is a complete erasure of their people. This is a people, who, by the way, have survived thousands of years in the shadow of an empire, countless wars, occupations, total destruction, etc. Yet it’s not going to survive a century of feminism.
(Of course, I know North Korea exists, but the point is clear).
“Catholics, of course, will be saying a special thanks for the Episcopal Church. It is a reminder that no matter how terrible things have gotten for Catholics, it can always get worse.” The Episcopal Church that I belonged to for years was full of lapsed R.C.’s. Progressives took over the Church and the Church has since jumped on every fad, most recently cheering, in a polite way, for Hamas. Obviously, there are exemplary Episcopops. My retired bishop was a gem. But he was the exception. And FWIW, my Jewish friends are saying, “What about Christians saying, ‘Christ The King’ is… Read more »
Former Episcopal priest here (yes, I should still be in church rather than typing on my phone). What you say is true. I love what the Episcopal Church was with its genuine love of Christ, its tradition and beauty. It had room for rich and poor, left and right, and Evangelicals, Anglo-Catholics and liberals. It seemed like an act of charity to tolerate the liberalism but it was like tolerating a termite infestation. Eventually, when the roof trusses half collapse and the refrigerator sinks through the floor you have to leave for the safety of your family and friends. To… Read more »
Based on your first paragraph, am I correct in guessing that the Episcopal was an attempt to reunite the various western branches- Prots, Catholic, Anglican, etc?
The Episcopal Church is simply the continuation of the Church of England in America. Some of its oldest churches go back to before the Revolution— think of Trinity Church, Wall Street, Old North Church, Boston, etc. Historically, it was the established church from Maryland south and high prestige in the North. It was really the ethnic church of non-Puritan, non-dissenting English settlers and their descendants. Since the Church didn’t provide priests for the settlers moving west, the Methodists provided lay and later ordained ministers on the frontier. Baptists and other denominations arose as well to care for the less wealthy,… Read more »
much appreciated information, thank you.
Sorry, Anglican orders are “absolutely null and utterly void” according to the famous papal bull Apostolicae cure (1896), Pope Leo XIII. No apostolic succession for ‘bishops’, no sacrificial priesthood but merely an ecclesiastical institution instead of a sacramental conferral of actual grace by the action itself, thereby invalidating any sacramental holy order. As such, like all other Protestant clergy, they are unable to confect the Holy Eucharist. As St. John Henry Neuman, convert to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism has been attributed as saying whilst passing and Anglican church – ‘He is not here’.
Happy Easter.
Easter. Interesting stuff. From the Gospel, it obviously has to do with Passover. But, from quick internet research, various un-cited sources: “The eight-day Jewish holiday of Passover is celebrated in the early spring, from the 15th through the 22nd of the Hebrew month of Nissan, April 22 – 30, 2024. Passover (Pesach) commemorates the emancipation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt” “Unlike our calendar which is based on the solar year, the Jewish calendar uses twelve lunar months of 29 to 30 days in length. The new moon marks the beginning of each month with the full moon… Read more »
The Easter/Ishtar thing is standard 19th century American Protestant bullshit, developed because the illiterates were eager to connect Babylon with Catholicism. The obvious connection to Passover is obvious: French: Pâques Spanish: el Domingo de Pascua Greek: Pascha Russian: Пасха (Paskha) etc The English & German terms have to do with some variation of the term for “dawn,” and possibly the Saxon goddess with a similar name. Because Saxons do what they want. The point of the bunnies is because there are bunnies in the spring, as you may have noticed. The thing with eggs is that, if you’ve followed the… Read more »
To whomever downvoted this: Protestants really very excited to find any reason that the Catholic Church that gave them Bible was magically somehow Babylon.
The idea that Easter of all Holy Days, which is called Pascal in other languages is a pagan holiday is about semi-pagans themselves trying and completely failing to be more Christian that what they were rejecting. The further away from Catholicism, the less Christian people become in culture/theology.
Atheists also like the idea that Christian Holy Days come from something else, when they mostly just land near events on the calendar.
Christianity wooed pagans. I have no problem with that. Sensitive Catholics!
The Catholic church was founded by a Jew, Protestantism was founded by Europeans.
Catholics always seem to be most excited when attacking Europeans; one wonders if this is a manifestation of the un-European nature of their faith.
Your ignorance about the extent to which your faith “borrowed” from the old religions is impressive!
Eastern Orthodoxy —> Roman Catholicism —> Protestantism
East —> West
Make of it what you want, those are the facts.
those are anti-catholic proppaganda.
It’s geography.
No worries now, it’s no longer Easter according to Biden and Hochul, it’s officially Transgender Day of Visibility. So set aside your petty religious squabbles and embrace the new dawn, bigots!!!
Just some thoughts on your Good Friday podcast, take them for what they’re worth: With regard to your comments about the micronationalism, there’s another nuance I think that you should consider and that is the divide between nations that are predominantly Eastern Orthodox and those that are Roman Catholic. You spoke about the bizarre things you heard in some of those countries that sounded like it could have come from Bill Krystol. I think what you’re hearing comes from the puppet governments beholden to the West. (Installed? Color revolution?) I still think the sentiment of the man on the street… Read more »
“I think there are powerful elements within the Roman Catholic Church who want the Eastern Orthodox Churches to submit under the pope. Not all Catholics, of course, but those elements do exist. I also wonder if there is still an element of nostalgia for the old Habsburg Empire. They’re definitely seems to be a fault line there.” Any serious Catholic is going to want reunification. The original Church was unified under Peter. The EO were under the Pope for the first 1000 years. They have drifted without Peter since then, and not just in calendar. There’s issue divorce certificates issue,… Read more »
“If the EO came back”
There’s nothing to come back to. In 1054 they were all independent bishops in communion with each other. (Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Antioch, etc.) The Pope had the most prestigious chair, otherwise, he didn’t lord it over the rest. The Pope needs to understand that he’s the head of his church and nothing more.
Wiffle demonstrates typical historical ignorance.
The “pope” wasn’t a thing at all until the 8th century. And then only an equal archbishop for another 4 centuries.
The great schism was the beginning of a power grab by the papacy that secularized the western church and made the protestant reformation inevitable.
I dunno; I think there’s something to be said for the Bishop of Rome being able to make Emperors walk barefoot in the snow…
Some protection. The RCC has shown absolutely no interest in protecting any of the Eastern Orthodox. Crusade after crusade against the Orthodox, culminating in more recent times with the Croatian Ustache, and then when the fascists had lost, rescuing some of the worst culprits responsible for the enormities against the Orthodox from the comsequences they had coming to them.
The Western church has been addicted to temporal authority for a long time. Who in their right mind in the Orthodox lands would want to give them carte blanche absent some tangible evidence of remorse?
“Catholics, of course, will be saying a special thanks for the Episcopal Church. It is a reminder that no matter how terrible things have gotten for Catholics, it can always get worse.”
Like the female Anglican archdeacon who called for her congregants to “Smash the patriarchy” — despite being a leader in a 2,000 year old-religion that worships “God the Father”?

I used to think that it was pretty crazy for the Church to burn “witches” during the Middle Ages — but maybe they were on to something…
Amen brother! Men build, women destroy. Men create civilizations, women burn em down… when weak men captitulate to women’s non stop bitching.
The Roman Catholic Church was officially condemned witch burnings or hunts. They still rarely happened but the Church would come down on them for it.
They said there were no witches because they had no powers and instead were just crazy people.
Unlike Hollywood’s reality, most witch burnings and hunts happened under the Protestants. They also were they ones that came up with the “tests” that proved one was a with. like drowning.
This is just a lie. The historical record shows witches were more likely to be killed in catholic countries.
Until Henry VIII and Luther, they were all RC. Except in the East, of course.
Afterwards, however, the historical record attests to vastly more people being executed as accused witches in Protestant lands, said lands not having the benefit of the rigorous and skeptical Catholic Inquisitors, who, as noted above, generally tended to find little real evidence of witchcraft amongst the accused.
Today’s podcast was a bit of a downer; the litany of what ails us is certainly getting longer and more malicious at a faster rate. And I agree that Trump is unlikely to be allowed to win this November. But what comes after that? Will another blatantly stolen election become the final straw? The models predict that a groundswell of resistance will arise in the form of blather about secession and national divorce (mostly as a means of macro-venting). Bongino will start his next crusade for “we’ll gettum next time in 2028”. Serious militias will start organizing and the Stasi… Read more »

I started getting into science fiction in my early 30s, pretty late for the genre. But the genre was more or less dead by the time I started reading it. I stopped in the book store one day and bought a book of short stories, supposedly all winners of various scifi awards. The very first story in the book was about robots having gay sex. Freaks and weirdos, which scifi has always suffered with, took over the publishers, took over the agents and took over the award bodies. The SFWA is a nest of SJW vipers.

Due to my reading within the last year, I got the reference of your name, Tars Tarkas.
Lovecraft led me to Howard, which led me to other authors. The correspondence between Lovecraft and Howard was outrageously race realist.
It’s reassuring to know that most of the intelligent people of the past saw the world more like us than how our elites insist that we see the world now.
I’d guess 95% of the world’s undeniable geniuses throughout history would qualify as DRs today, and many of them would make us look like bed-wetting sissies. We have the misfortune to live in a weird oxbow of history where obvious truth has been effectively criminalized, and the most baldfaced of lies are enshrined as unholy writ. Choose virtually any towering genius of the past–Plotinus, Boethius, Frederick the Great, Nicholas of Cusa, Galileo, Balzac, Brahms, etc.–expose him to what passes for truth today, and he would shake himself to pieces with laughter. He’d then damand to be reinterred, forthwith.
To get an idea of the level of self-censorship needed to keep a job today you need to look to the Soviet Union or the other Warsaw Pact powers of the Cold War. Only people with blue collar jobs can escape this and there’s pressure on even them.
Tars: This is yet another case where a certain other blogger, whom I admittedly find arrogant and obnoxious, has been proven prescient and correct. It doesn’t matter if you follow sports, or knitting, or quilting, or comic books, or sci fi – there is literally NOTHING the left will not defile. Because they cannot create, and beauty is poison to their twisted psyches, so they defile and destroy. I’ve mentioned before I read teotwawki fiction as escapism. Fwiw I also read just about any other genre with the exception of horror. But it’s gotten so bad I will ‘borrow’ 5-10… Read more »
That “certain other blogger, whom I admittedly find arrogant and obnoxious,” his name wouldn’t happen to rhyme with Dox Vay?
Undoubtedly. My peer and waypoint. VD and the “hot wife” are kindred spirits.
In this case, probably so.
Personally, I think Correia et al. did/does it better. While Sad Puppies is no more, and Castalia is, if there were a way out of the drek that SF has become, it’s not through charging exorbitant prices for leather-bound copies of public domain books.
There is a ton of good old stuff at least. What is bad is bad because it’s just not good and not because it’s pushing some horrible message about LGBTQ, pedophiles or other modern horror. Best of all, it’s free and so taking chances with an author you’ve never heard of won’t be chucking 20 bucks down the drain or, worse, giving money to people who hate you. I picked up Ender’s Game from a junk pile of a book store for 50 cents. It was a very good book. I actually own printed copies of almost every Edgar Rice… Read more »
Retvrn to pulps! Asimovs.com, analog.com if you like more science (I get both pulp and online, to save the faves.) The venerable Fantasy and Science Fiction has fallen to a black girlboss, while Asimov’s (female) editor of many years has been able to fight off the die crowd with only a few forgettable surges. I get online to save the faves because there are so many of them. Beware, many more writers now are non-American, but Asimov’s maintains higher standards, and quite a bit of plain ol’ ripping good fun and rather prescient dark pieces too.

not sure I’ve seen a more accurate statement than this:
“It doesn’t matter if you follow sports, or knitting, or quilting, or comic books, or sci fi – there is literally NOTHING the left will not defile. Because they cannot create, and beauty is poison to their twisted psyches, so they defile and destroy.”
Nail on head…
Matt Brackens book are great escapism, especially the last 2 , castigo cay and red hills of zourhon. they are all prescient beyond belief. the stuff he wrote about in castigo cay in 2011 was a great description of what we found out in 2019. all his books are good. https://enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/

Also see Clay Martin’s books. Excellent reads.
A few things: the family vote, no. Sometimes you shouldn’t softball it. You had a good post the other day about why equality doesn’t work. This also applies to the sexes. The wife has to be subservient to the husband. Why do you think women like bad boys? They want men they naturally feel subservient to. Daughters without strong father’s go feral. Some things are the woman’s domain, others are the man’s. Politics is one of the latter. There’s no getting around this thorn.

The debt really isn’t that big of a problem. We don’t owe them gold. We owe them digital currency not tied to anything. If we had serious people in charge, we could also simply default. It’s not like this would be simple, easy or consequence free, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world. The real problem is getting rid of the all the foreigners. The sooner it happens, the easier it will be. These people walked here, they have homes/families and ties to the old home and most importantly, citizenship somewhere else. But this will erode over time.… Read more »
How much of all the non food stuff in Walmart is made in the USA? Why do you think prices rising? Why do you think gold is rising? The whole reserve currency thing? Not when Biden steals Russia’s accounts in front of everyone. The BRICS were given the largest incentive in history to find alternatives. Betting that they won’t is thin ice indeed.
The debt matters. Even Japan and Saudi Arabia are jumping ship on the dollar. Not imagining that can happen is 20th century thinking
I understand what you’re saying and I agree with it. Losing reserve currency status would hurt badly. The suffering would be incredible. But the nation would survive. It is not a nation ending event. Even Zimbabwe survived hyperinflation. The US has already had hyperinflation in the very early days of existence (the Continental). It survived the Great Depression. Hell, China survived Chairman Mao and Russia survived Stalin and communism. Surviving economic hardship including collapse of the money system just isn’t anywhere near as detrimental to the nation as demographic replacement. America as a country may survive, but the American nation… Read more »

Yes, but having the bank foreclose on your mud hut is not the same thing. Particularly not when the economy was largely grow your own food or rely on aid shipments. How well would Yanks do in those circumstances? How many have ever grown food in their lives?

Using a war as a solution to the current failed economic and manufacturing policies is a scary possibility. The powers that be could believe they will be able to maintain power by involving the world in a massive war that will allow them to declare some flavor of martial law and use any level of force they deem necessary to maintain control. World wide. The current lack of punishment for crimes seems like it could be a way to soften the public to the idea that the government will have to use force to keep them safe.

Yes. It appears we are entering a new dark ages of unknown depth.
The only way out is through. I can not imagine anything that resembles a solution. Borrow, spend, collapse… anarchy and chaos.
I’m sure there’s a faction of the elite that sees WWIII as something like a smoke grenade. They’ll wait until things get completely out of hand, then toss the grenade and try to make their exit while everyone is choking on the smoke and blinded. I hope that more pragmatic factions exist that are coming to understand that if they would just stop destroying Western civilization and adopt more traditional values they would probably earn the right to live after the coming upheaval.

I don’t know how many “normies” can be reached. But I am pretty sure the number isn’t zero. Certainly tens of millions of them can at least be convinced to vote for Bad Orange Man when the regime is screaming for them not to (not that this is in itself necessarily a worthwhile endeavour). However, that’s not dissidence, it’s mostly just “the wish for kings,” believing the man on the white horse will (or even can) ride in and make everything ok. But I digress. It does indicate some fertile ground. I notice Steve Sailer comes in for a good… Read more »
Jeffrey Zoar: I read Sailer pretty regularly some years ago (past 4-5 I have found him unreadable so I will only skim headlines and occasionally skim comments). He, himself, is a normiecon. The only thing he ‘notices’ is the black propensity for crime and mayhem. He refuses to ‘notice’ certain propensities and behaviors by Asians, subcons, jews, and mestizos. This is echoed in his regular commentariat (who have been there for many years and never move past Sailer’s degree of noticing) and by those whose comments he instantly approves and promotes. There are far better uses of one’s time than… Read more »
The normiecons will probably have to die out before anyone can really notice. The establishment however seems freaked out now. The younger someone is the less likely they are to think all protected groups walk on water. They will be easier to convince. They also will have much less invested in system that has not invested into them.
The future–David Hogg, AOC, and Ivanka.
The problem with Sailer is he’s made a career being at the forefront of HBD, and is a race realist, who mind fucks himself into being a civic nationalist. He believes whites, blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Indians are all Americans and “why can’t we all just get along.”
Since Candace Owens and the Daily Wire “mutually parted ways”, I’ve always thought that the comments on Gaza and her supposed anti-Semitic rhetoric is not why she no longer works there. I think she personally pissed off Ben Shapiro and eventually they were going to reach a point where they needed to part ways. I don’t believe it was a firing. I think a few years down the road, her and Fuentes will be fighting with each other. I think she always has had grander visions than just working at the Daily Wire.

I saw either ZMan or RamzPaul suggest this a few days ago on Twitter. Although I think their plan was to the D.C. political elite. Still it is good to see. You have to wonder how they are going to stop this while still allowing to have it happen to normies.
“Unlimited generosity to immigrants for thee but absolutely NOT for me!”
Squatters on elite/ celebrity properties will simply disappear after being given a warning to move on (if that).
You and I will go to jail if we do the same. As straight forward as the rest of this mess.
Ukraine is a sucessful effort by Slav hating kegan clan to leverage the corruption in ukraine to get them in a war . the purpose of the war is to genocide the ukrainians and get as many russians as they can killed. when this is over , a million ukrainians will be dead, two million hideously maimed, and 10 million driven out of their land as destitute refugees. in their view , the russian casualties are also a plus.
It is a horrific toll. truly an evil thing. Deliberate and calculated mass slaughter.
The line I use over at Instapundit is that our government has been hijacked run by a bunch of Jews who must have inherited their grandparents’ PTSD. Their grandparents must have told them horrific bedtime stories about the evil Ruskies as children and it left an indelible impression on them, because they just can’t let it go. That’s the only thing I can think of to explain the irrational hostility of our heavily Jewish influenced government toward the Russians.
Careful. Apparently that’s like picking your nose or farting in public. :/
I see what you did there.
Civility *is* an ordeal for some.
My guess is the American regime won’t ban all public displays of Christianity outright. They will follow the Communist Chinese model regarding religious tolerance. Eventually, only those Christian congregations and denominations who adhere to the Woke party line will be allowed to worship openly. Those Christian churches that will not bend the knee to Wokism will be relentlessly harassed and forced to close because they are deemed centers of “hate speech,” “intolerance,” and possible havens of “terrorism.”
In Shinto Japan, Christmas is celebrated widely. They have Santa Claus and costumes and trees and hats. But of course, completely devoid of Christianity and the foreign god thereof. It basically is a shopping and gift giving event, but amusing for an American to experience over there. We’ve really reached close to that level of decline as well. The season will be celebrated, but the reason will change to one devoid of what us old timers would call Christianity—and the “reason for the season” completely forgotten. Whether it gets as bad as current in China, who can tell. China now… Read more »
Compsci: The ‘voluntary’ closures were worse, in my view, than the forced closures. Every denomination knuckled under to disease paranoia, authoritarianism, and always obeying the government. Today’s palid Christians are pathetic. In another example, purported ‘Christian’ female soccer player Korbin Albert made a groveling apology for her Tiktok post saying God could heal sexual deviants. No normal woman ought to be playing ‘professional’ soccer, nor ought she be on Tiktok. But she denied Christ to keep her money, fame, and to appease the lezzbians. She epitomizes, to me, modern American ‘Christians.’ I can only repeat what my wise husband says:… Read more »

Re: modern art… I recently spent time in Rome, and visited the Vatican Museum. They have a modern art section. After walking through Raphael’s Rooms and the Sistine Chapel, the contrast is stark. Why does modern have to be ugly? What is wrong with aesthetics? I assume most of it is inspired by Lucifer. I’ll also add, it was re-energizing as a dissident to engage with all the aesthetic beauty our people used to create. In the case of St. Peter’s Basilica, it took over 100 years to complete. Those who designed it, and most who worked on it, would… Read more »
That which you decry is part and parcel of post-modern revisionism. The old saw, “Those who can’t do, teach” is really “Those who can’t do tear down what those who can do create.”
As the proportion of European males dips ever lower, and the flow of African migrants continues, it’s really only a matter of time before someone realizes there’s billions in artwork within the Vatican Museums just there for the taking. Whatever isn’t destroyed by looters could end up in private collections in the Arab Gulf States. Another possibility is they might hire African museum guards, and the treasures would simply disappear over time.

You’d think with centuries of living among Europeans, and having all the money necessary to do so, there would be a string of world class synagogues, comparable to the great cathedrals of Christianity. Hell, even the Mohammedans took a few stabs at building mosques on a grand scale.
Yet, that doesn’t seem to be the case. Why is that?
That is an excellent question, and one for which I don’t have an answer. And you are right–the Muzz have indeed built many a monumental mosque. Of course, some of their more impressive mosques in the Maghreb and Near East were originally churches and cathedrals. The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is the most prominent example.
Ostei: The Hagia Sophia was built as an orthodox Christian church in 537. Nothing to do with the Mohammedans. I’ve seen it, but it struck me as a sad, faded, debased beauty.
Reread my post. That is exactly what I said, i.e. the Muzz repurposed Christian structures, viz the Hagia Sophia, as Islamic ones. And incidentally, there was no Orthodoxy in 537, only Christianity.
Ostei: My apologies. I initially responded and then reread your post. But I still stand by my impressions of the Hagia Sophia itself – it struck me as – best I can put it – empty. No heart or faith left in it. Neither fish nor fowl.
Odd, but I misread Ostei’s post myself. Must be something in the formatting of the paragraph. Easy to skip over.
KGB: I am no fan of any alien faith, but I must admit I was quite moved by the celebration of God and beauty I saw at the Selimiye mosque in Edirne. In its own way, it called to mind the York Minster – the same human attempt to express beauty, faith, and power via human artistry in stone.
Worth noting that the York Minster’s beauty and craft date from 1220-1472, while the mosque was built in 1568. God blessed historic, Christian, England.
KGB: “Why is that?” The j00 cannot create. The j00 can only destroy. What’s so deeply counterintuitive to the Occidental mind is just quite how phenomenally financially profitable it is to DESTROY, rather than to create. By way of example, the j00ish race will likely come out of their current Ukrainian war several hundred BILLION dollars richer than they were prior to the war, just as they did with 9-11 and the endless desert wars. All because a fellow from Michigan, named Cyrus I. Scofield, got snookered by a (((Psy-Op))). And because J Edgar Hoover crossed paths with a particularly… Read more »

WRT Renegade History of the United States, that has to be one of the oddest reads I ever read. It literally justified every single old ethnic and racial stereotype, but they were all framed as positive things, so it got a pass. If you look at just the facts laid out in the book, it basically admitted everything your hardcore racist uncle said was true.
In some Slavic countries and Hungary, the Easter Monday custom is to wake up your wife by throwing her into a cold stream. If you are a young man and don’t have a wife yet, you make a whip from willow branches and chase the women in your area with it. You have all morning until noon to whip as many women as you like and they must give you eggs and sweets as rewards for your efforts.
Ha ha! I now see why the Women’s Studies Department at Cornell celebrates Easter so passionately!
Slavs are weird. What about dingus day in Poland.
Are you saying that these customs are weirder than mainstreaming feminism?
Nothing is more bizarre than the customs of the postmodern West.
Hun: Can’t say I’ve heard of that tradition before. Among my prized possessions are a few dozen hand-blown, hand-painted/decorated eggs collected during our travels in Hungary and (former) Czechoslovakia in Easter 1991. The beauty, artistry, and tradition delight me. I don’t know if these skills and traditions are still being passed down to the young there.
Here is a (semi-accurate) description of the whipping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_whip
Actually here is a better one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Amigus-dyngus
I never heard the word “dyngus” or “Śmigus-dyngus” before, but other than that it’s accurate: Śmigus-dyngus
Somebody clue me, that was a Roman holiday in February, it’s name started with an “L”
It is now clear why Frank Sinatra was chasing Anne Jackson around with a bullwhip in Dirty Dingus Magee…
A variation of these practices is still popular among the Polonia community in and around Buffalo. The day after Easter in Western New York is a fairly big deal called “Dyngus Day”. It’s a way to let your hair down after Lent. The modern twist on it involves using squirt guns instead of throwing them into water.
In fact, it’s more popular today than ever; one of those kitschy things that everyone’s embraced.
>The modern twist on it involves using squirt guns instead of throwing them into water.

100% can verify this. My smoking hot ex-GF was an off the boat Hungarian and she told me both of these things and I was sort of in amazement at them. It is not really “a thing” as much as it used to be but it is great that there is still enough of a cultural anchor that at least it is -widely known- what to do, even if it perhaps isn’t done as much. Almost like they are proud of their long traditions and culture…

Z, for a good, focused look at a segment of American slavery in a specific place and time, I would suggest “Down by the Riverside: A South Carolina Slave Community” by Charles Joyner. The problem with trying to understand slavery in America is that it covers centuries and thousands of miles. Slavery in Virginia in 1650 is not the same as New York in 1750 and not going to be much like slavery in South Carolina in 1850. The other huge problem with a study of slavery is that everyone concentrates on the large plantations with the Cotton Kings, where… Read more »
Stephanie McCurry’s ‘Masters of Small Worlds’ does look at this small scale slave economy in the antebellum Low Country of So. Carolina.
IIRC from my grad days, it has a lotta good statistical data, but is also freighted with the “centrality of women as historical actors.” Worth a look,
Boom. Thanks. That dovetails perfectly with “Down by the Riverside” as it deals with the rice planters of the Lowcountry, so both books complement each other. I’m completely stoked to get into that as my ancestors are from the South Carolina Lowcountry, and have been since 1713. They were part of that world.

It had to migrate from there to us. I do agree about the liquidation of social capital, but as… Read more »

I whole-heartedly agree with you. I had no idea what an actual Catholic Mass was until some friends got me to go to the Tridentine Rite (Latin Mass) around thirty years ago and I had no idea what I was missing. Before that, the parish I was raised in had only nuns (who were anything but traditional) and two priests who were ready to retire. So instead of a mass, it felt more like a gathering (save your Highlander quotes for later) . There were acoustic guitars and sing-alongs and I couldn’t stand it.

“When I attended an even more Catholic-leaning Episcopal church, including incense and almost everything in Latin, I felt a bit lost.” This is why Vatican II happened. Mass is about formation. If you don’t understand even the least little bit with what’s going on, you can’t participate in it as part of the priesthood of believers. I’m afraid many people who prefer the Missal of 62 (TLM) don’t seem to care very much that they are not being formed well or at least easily by their Mass. That in particular is not a compelling reason to get rid of it.… Read more »
3g4me, I miss the beautiful liturgy in the Episcopal Church and I experienced the full spectrum from guitar or cheap electric keyboard accompaniment to lavish professional choirs with splendid pipe organ. My last parish where I filled in for a rector on sick leave even had a weekly vigill Mass in Latin using the old Oxford University Book of Common Prayer text. (Definitely a strange bit oh history!). And the very Anglo-Catholic parish where I had friends used exactly the Tridentine Rite in English. Clouds of incense in both churches. I attend a very ordinary Novus Ordo Catholic church now… Read more »
The Missal of 62 is not the only beautiful liturgy to be found in the Church. There are multiple liturgies in use in the Catholic Church. The Catholic world before Vatican II was not the sometimes elitest performance art culture of current Missal of 62 communities. They almost all low Masses. That meant contemporary hymns, not Georgian chant which is simply a musical choice. Vatican II wanted it there in Masses. My current NO Mass is to Vatican II specs and includes it, along with Latin. But when it was 1962, most people including the clerics, almost could have cared… Read more »
“Everyone knows the Catholic Church had a homosexual priest pederasty problem. The media keeps insisting it is a child abuse scandal, but I am unaware of any girls who were abused. So between the darkening of the clergy, the homosexual priest problem, and the border-line apostasy, heresy and blasphemy of the current Pope, the Church is in a bad way.” Take heart. We are not in big trouble. We have the promise of Christ about his Peter. It’s good until time stops. We will always have sinners in the clerics and the laity. That was Judas. The problem with the… Read more »
A couple quick points:
1. I believe you meant Andrew Klavan, secular Jew and former lefty now larping as a right-wing Christian, not Cliff Clavan, an actor who played a postman on Cheers. Easy mistake to make, as they are both actors.
2. It seems you might have missed Candace Owens’ interview with the crazed Rabbi, which appears to be the event that resulted in her parting ways with Daily Wire. It’s worth watching the full interview.
Is that the guy who had the Twitter meltdown and dressed himself as the Merry Merchant, complete with long nose, supposedly to “own” Candace?
You could put all the TRS guys back on Twitter and they wouldn’t create a quarter of the Anti-Semites official representatives of Jews create.
No. Different crazed Rabbi. Apparently, there are two crazed Rabbis.
https://rumble.com/v4k11wu-this-is-crazy-rabbi-barclay-attacks-me-for-things-i-never-said..html
The rabbi you are describing has been attacking Candice Owens, but she did not interview him. The other rabbi she interviewed refused to condemn him expect in the broadest possible terms. Essentially that he shouldn’t be attacking Owens personally but wouldn’t condemn any of his behavior. I couldn’t listen to the whole thing, but the main point of conflict appeared to be that Owens disagreed that Jews have the right to control what non Jews say about them.
Sarcasm is hard for you.
Actually, Clavin was a character on Cheers. John Ratzenberger is the actor who played him.
Your insights into Andrew Klavan are valuable. He certainly had me fooled. I’ve read his stuff for years, including a novel and a thoughtful memoir about his “conversion”*. I had no idea he was LARPing all this time and that he is a fraud, that his loss of screenwriting opportunities in Hollywood was not a consequence of choices he’s made, but part of the “legend” he cleverly built to fool people like me. Thank you. I will cross Klavan off the list of people I trust. *Ha ha. He fooled me there too. We all know that no secular Jew… Read more »
> public professions of Christian faith are “antisemitic”
Your terms are acceptable.
You can be sure that if declaring oneself a Christian becomes “antisemitic” down the road, it’ll as usual be the only one targeted thusly. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism etc., will just fine. Kind of ironic as Christianity (at least in America) is Israel’s greatest supporter. Happy Good Friday and Easter to all!
“Kind of ironic as Christianity (at least in America) is Israel’s greatest supporter.”
Maybe Christians will finally realize what a big mistake that is.
Maybe they’re not really “Christians”….
If only I could cast as many votes as a Democrat…
Cliff Klavan. 😂
Disagree a bit about Walsh, his faith seems real and the tranny war to him is serious.
That said, making millions after being working class has now put him in a precarious position. As long as he stays at Daily Wire he will only get worse. Then he can cash out and be a true top grifter.
Cliff was spewing disinformation to Norm.
I’ve always smelled the whiff of the wolf in sheep’s clothing in Klavan. He’s a Jew before he’s a Christian. I think Walsh is sincere in the issues he does tackle, but isn’t willing to give up his paycheck or his platform for the issues he’s pursuing to tackle forbidden topics. I do recall him saying something about how he didn’t think there was anything wrong with demanding our politicians put America before other nations at the time of the initial Candace Owens flap when she (I have to admit amusingly) accused Haley of running for President of Israel. He’s… Read more »
When I checked around 2014, I noticed that Ukraine’s oligarchs were all jews except one Tatar guy (Rinat Akhmetov). I am sure it has nothing to do with the country being highly corrupt.
Paul, those are Ukrainian “billionaires”. Only Russians can be “oligarchs”.
RE: The comments yesterday about anti-semites. I would argue that many of the people making comments are like me. We’re not anti-semites so much as we’re trolls. It’s fun to troll normies, especially goyim who wave the Israel flag and profess their undying love for our greatest ally. Oh, it also drives them nuts pointing out that the Jews aren’t really my tribe. My tribe is the indigenous Christians of the Holy Land, and the indigenous Christians over there are mostly on the Palestinian side. Oh and then there is that Catholic view about Christians being the real Jews the… Read more »
My line about antisemitism has always been that I rank it down there with picking your nose in public or breaking wind in an elevator on the hierarchy of evils. That is, it is not something I enjoy experiencing, but it is not something I pay much attention to either. The stuff we see online is performative. That has been true since the BBS in the early days of the internet. In real life, there is no antisemitism to speak of, so why should anyone care?
Remember (((Saul Alinsky’s))) Rules for Radicals:
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
Ridicule is awesome. Back when “Baby on Board!” decals became popular among the proto-Karens and their hapless husbands – we are talking 80s or early 90s here, I think – a cottage industry emerged that made satirical decals, such as “Python on Board!”, which put the original decal out of circulation fairly quickly. That is the power of ridicule, and our side does not make enough use of it. As it is Eastertide, it has struck me lately, that what the “What we Believe” signs in the lawns of sh!tlibs could be countered by is another “What we Believe” sign,… Read more »
If antisemitism is hating people simply because they areJews, with no rational foundation behind opinion, then that is detestable. However, noticing that a certain cliquish/clannish group dominates our media, our political leadership, the porn industry, the open borders lobby and the financial industry, and noticing that the same group has an obvious distaste for the majority of Americans, well, that’s not anti anything. That just noticing.
The Finkels control AINO. AINO is rapidly spiraling downward into the fiery pit. And not wanting to be incinerated along with my people and country makes ‘me’ the bad guy?
Rationality is overrated. One can always choose premises such that they reach a desired conclusion. That’s what rhetoric is, for Pete’s sake.
That is not rationality, but a particular form of rationality called casuistry.
Only for a narrow category of causal premises. Not what I was thinking of, but I understand where you got that impression. That’s the bread and butter of civic nationalists, yet, again, rarely are their premises questioned.
You will never ever reach them this way. Normie likes to see himself as a good guy. His heritage is his great-Uncle who liberated a camp. Parading around with various symbols or otherwise confirming that he is the good guy and you are the bad guy is a recipe for continued failure and repelling normie.
A simple shrug of the shoulders and “those guys wanted Aloha Snackbar, now they have Aloha Snackbar” is sufficient. Not caring is the key.
Again, normie wants/needs to see himself as the good guy.
Whiskey: Then too bad for normie. White people need to become the toughest and winning SOB; being the ‘good guy’ can come later – and then wisely reserved only for one’s own.
Again, normie wants/needs to see himself as the good guy.
Everyone does.
What /ourside/ really sucks at is attacking the premises of an argument. Yes, /theirside/ tends to have a lot of questionable premises, but simply skipping to /our/ conclusion solves nothing, and perpetuates the stereotype they have of us.
Good Friday? Happy Easter, everyone!
Let me confess that asking our overworked host to become target central yesterday was ridiculous. After watching 9 youtube clips of Shogun, I have a solution.
I have dishonored my daimyo! Allow this unworthy one to commit seppuku!
The best examination of the economics of slavery was, _Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery_ written by economists Robert Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman. Slavery didn’t work in the way most people think it worked and contrary to the arguments of modern libertarian economists, it was quite profitable and pretty efficient.
No expert on slavery in the Deep South, but I can’t help thinking of Alexis de Tocqueville’s comments on the slavery practice as he witnessed it down there. Basically, he called the slaves he saw working the plantation as the *slowest* laborers he had ever witnessed. To me, that’s not efficiency, albeit it might still be profitable. Similar to the USSR under communism, I’ve read that some plantations allowed slaves to work their “own” parcel of land and sell the results of their labor for profit. The time allotted to work this “private” holding was after reaching a quota of… Read more »
“…he called the slaves he saw working the plantation as the *slowest* laborers he had ever witnessed.”
Working a factory filling up with African “asylum-seekers”, I can attest there is nothing slower than an African woman. They have a special swaying walk that just screams “Ah ain’t in no rush, honey. You white folks are crazy…” (but it’s in Lingala or Swahili).
Fogel and Engerman–I’m guessing they’re Thai…
ontrary to the arguments of modern libertarian economists, it was quite profitable and pretty efficient
Don’t leave off the “and nowhere as brutal as commonly believed, nor nearly as “oppressive” and “exploitative” as being a northern factory worker.”
There’s a reason the (mostly) Irish freemen and indentured servants were given the dangerous jobs. Much less investment, and none at all in the case of a freeman. If he died in the swamps, he couldn’t collect his pay, while a replacement slave would have to be purchased, back when $1000 meant something. Like 50 ounces of gold something.
Just saw the topic list and downloaded audio. I didn’t see a David French-ism topic. Still, I look forward to your comments.
Thanks for a great show. Fairfax County, VA has dedicated Easter Sunday as tranny day of “visibility”. Their hatred of all that is good and holy could not be more obvious. It really is an insane, satanic humiliation ritual at this point. I’m glad to hear you spoke with J. Burden and am looking forward to the show. He may have been the one to introduce George Bagby to the DR. It is so important for the younger guys to find good, sensible resources and guidance. “Keep your head up, the lie can’t last forever.” I hope everyone has a… Read more »
Wise men may be atheists, but religion exists to comfort us and tender to our needs. A religion that ceases to soothe our troubled spirits is a counterfeit 5-dollar bill. Burned by past exposure to charlatans, we huddle under the tent of the New Thing, the fresh religion. And the new religion, however it got here, attracts new adherents through the poetry of its motion, the kinetic truth of its impact. All is revealed. All is welcomed.
Clearly looks like it is written with chatgpt. Here is another version – “Wise men may be atheists, but religion exists to comfort us and tend to our needs. A religion that ceases to soothe our troubled spirits is like a counterfeit 5-dollar bill. Having been burned by past exposure to charlatans, we huddle under the tent of the New Thing—the fresh religion.

Funk me. This may be the stupidest AI ever.
The ADL actually has the Celtic Cross up on their list of anti-Semitic symbols. At this point they should just add garlic and mirrors to the list of things they want to see banned. Honestly, being Jewish and having all those complexes has to be a miserable experience. “Gentiles don’t know how to worry,” Kubrick once said, but a certain amount of neuroticism comes with the territory of the modern condition. I can’t imagine, though, what it must feel like to constantly be afraid of something that’s frankly a ridiculous fear to have. If the Sackler family poisoning of the… Read more »
Judas priest, just ban circumcision of both sexes already and hang any who propose it. The regurgitated brain damage would ease and the broken branch would be assimilated, outbreeding into more sapient populations. That and nuke Teva Pharm, Jerusalem, and Mecca.*
The Church Fathers were right to go tell Peter to stuff it (the big doctrinal tiff between Peter and Paul was to circumcize or not.)

Circumcision was never that popular in Europe, but seems to have taken hold here in the USA due to sexual phobias of the time (1800’s)—claimed to reduce/prevent masturbation, then later disease. My father, having lived in occupied Europe in WWII strictly forbade my circumcision here in this country. He remembered all too well the NAZI’s telling suspected Jews to drop their pants as a final determination of their ilk. As a youngster, I still remember conversation he had with American friends who still promoted the practice to prevent penile cancer. His response was to tell them to “wash it with… Read more »
To be foreskinned is to be forearmed…
It’s a brutal and barbaric practice that needs to be outlawed. Our friend Ben Shapiro says banning circumcision is antisemitic. All the more reason to support banning it.
I support forcibly grafting a foreskin onto Ben’s teenie weenie peenie. Of course, I’ll leave the actual procedure to those of you with the requisite medical credentials…
“Of course, I’ll leave the actual procedure to those of you with the requisite medical credentials…”
Well, I’ve got a rusty Bowie knife and a bottle of Jack D. The booze is for me so his screams don’t bother me.
All good, but please don’t fall for the propaganda – that some loudmouth freak with onanism issues in 1880 was responsible for the sudden near universal practice in hospitals and acceptance for a nonmedical procedure by insurance companies in the US after WWII. It’s the mark of Shechem, used to break then radicalize conquered slave populations. Some ask why we aren’t martial men as our fathers used to be? How did we lose our God of crusade and become neurotic pussies simpering to yenta fads, or janissaries of the new faith? It is Easter, the time of renewal and resurrection,… Read more »
This is not a topic in which I am interested, but it brings to mind that a few years ago, good folks were trying to ban Female Genital Mutilation as practiced by Muslim immigrants.
Now all the “good” people support adolescent genital mutilation as practiced by the transgender mania.
This country has gone bonkers.
The Church Fathers were right to go tell Peter to stuff it (the big doctrinal tiff between Peter and Paul was to circumcize or not.)
And, yet, a few sentences later, Paul is taking Barnabus (?) to get circumcised…
I guess we’re doing some comments program changes. I no longer can reply on IPAD, Opera.
